Many people ask me "Xinjiang is really beautiful, but is it safe there?"
I answer them seriously "Xinjiang is the safest place in China".
Xinjiang, the safest place in China

Last year, it was my first time to Xinjiang. Right after getting off the plane and arriving at the hotel, I feel a different atmosphere.
There was a middle aged lady with curly hair and cropped trousers who was wearing a bulletproof vest. On the vest, it wrote Anti-Riot (FangBao).
The entrance of a hotel surprisingly looked like a security check point of Beijing train station.

Later on, I found out everywhere in Xingjiang - hotels, hospitals, supermarkets, shopping malls, restaurants, and tourist spots, all need security check.

Even eating beef noodles requires security check

What is the most important thing to live in Xingjiang?
Most Xingjiang people will answer: ID card.
In Xingjiang one rather loses his wallet than his ID card. Without an ID, you can't even walk through 800 meters.
Without ID, you can't get out of town. Every section of a highway, it has a checkpoint, with roadblock and police guard post.
At smaller guard posts, you have to roll down your window and let the armed police to visually inspect you and your car.
Nathan Ross
To be fair there have been terrorist activities elements in the region for some time.
Though that still doesn't justify China's actions.
It'd be akin Paris locking up every Muslim in the city following the 2015 attacks.
Which, obviously people on Jow Forums would support. But in reality it's morally reprehensible.
Caleb Sanchez
The ID thing makes sense. If I drive anywhere without my ID here I can get fucked pretty hard by the cops.
John Morales
I absolutely love the fact, that while Orangeman was called out by everyone on discussing restricting French and German pass-holders to enter the US, Xi simply didn't give a fuck and secretly made it harder for German pass-holders to go there, because some "German Turks" were accused of doing shady stuff in Xinjiang.
Gavin Peterson
But for major highways between cities, it's not simple.
All passengers have to get off their car and go to a separate lane of security screening. The drivers have to open both the trunk and hood for inspection. Everyone needs to successfully pass the facial recognition checking under cameras before leaving.

If you drive, you need to fill your car, right?
To recognize a gas station, you don't need to look at the logo. Just look for a place, which has collision barrier at the entrance, surrounded by metal fencing, and guarded by armed personnel with bulletproof vest.
The entrance has roadblock and facial recognition machine. The driver has to enter by himself with ID card. The passengers have to get off and wait outside.

Wow sucks that muslim Chinese people refuse to act like human beings.
Jeremiah Richardson
Every 50 meter, there is a police guard post.
Landon Thompson
>barbed wires around a gas station
But why?
Jeremiah Reyes
At the entrance of every school, kindergarten, hospital, there is a police guard post.
Zachary Wilson
>Soft targets have armed guards
Damn chinks know how to do anti-terrorism.
Oliver Stewart
no unauthorized access to fuel, so as to prevent from "terrorist" attack
Jeremiah Lee
>Hong Kong flag crying over muh Muslims
Always knew you faggots were liberals.
Asher Thompson
Charles Stewart
cant you just extract it from the car itself lol seems stupid as fuck
Alexander Garcia
Yeah the goal isn't to ration fuel but to prevent attacks on fuel stations.
Dylan Allen
Well, I hate to ask, but is it working?
Ayden Davis
Every ten families, there is a security supervisor.
A middle aged man with red "security supervisor" badge is making pita.
Xavier Williams
Based German Turks. Free East Turkestan.

This. Islamic terrorism is based.

One day I was having lunch at a restaurant, suddenly someone outside blew a whistle. The shop owner quickly grabbed a wooden rod and stood at the door.
Anthony Thompson
Chinks are way behind the curve on this one. Lots of police departments here have similar set ups.
John Turner
The shop owner told me not to worry, "it's just an anti-terrorist drill."
In the drill, a policeman acted as the terrorist, and all shop owners nearby beat up the "terrorist".
Julian Hall
sucky my dick, glownigger. europeans had a similar reaction after the 2015 paris attacks, but somehow china isn't allowed to have security against islamists groups.
David Kelly
I love how this thread has more information on the situation in Xinjiang than all the articles by Western mainstream media combined.
Kevin Campbell
Socks with sandals. They are a truly lost cause.
Dominic Sullivan
this is one of the most quality threads i have seen in a while
truly Jow Forumsernational
and no CCP shills to boot
Justin Jones
So far he only posted what he saw and it looks pretty based to me
Camden Morgan
What's with the quotation marks?
Luis Murphy
Interesting thread, extremely objective and unbiased. I guess that a lot of deathly terrorists attacks happened and China was successful censoring the information about it, if not I think that they are overreacting a little bit.
Carson Evans
Civilization has reached the new frontier, I see.
Wyatt Cox
It's the grid system from Tibet, a poorly paid, poorly motivated policeman with barely any training every 100 metres or so. They'll probably shift it to other parts of China eventually
Noah Ross
Why is China able to control Islamic terror without whipping their citizens into a frenzy with islamophobia like the US does?
Dylan King
An ID and a drivers aren’t necessarily the same thing dummy. You don’t a drivers liscence to use public transportation or to enter a hotel like these people need a government ID.
Nathan Gomez
The average Chinese actually really hates Islam if you ask them about it privately.
Ian Hughes
Most of America can only be accessed via car. Without a license you basically can't go anywhere unless you can afford constant Uber (which doesn't accept cash) or taxi rides.
Landon Jackson
Here people over the age of 15+ must go out with their ID. Isn't it the same in America?
David Carter
Hong Kongers are mad because they're removing their privileges
Gabriel Sanchez
They have millions of muslims sitting in concentration camps, m8.
Thomas Wood
Are there any White Scytho-Slavic Uyghur chicks?
Aiden Adams
They just aren't as important to China as they were to Britain.
Charles Thompson
No? A 13 year old doesn’t need an ID to go out and go to the store or something
Charles Wright
Depends on the state. In Arizona cops can demand to "see your papers" if they suspect you are breaking the law.
Nolan Perry
Yeah but they won’t say that to a young teenager because you don’t even have a real form of ID until you get your drivers license. That law is so they can check on the spot if you have an outstanding warrant or something like that.
Juan Anderson
chinks must fuck off
Adam Nelson
This. Islam will conquer the world.
