China boosts police presence in restless Xinjiang

Associated Press – 18 mins ago

BEIJING (AP) — State media says China will send thousands of police officers to patrol rural villages in Xinjiang amid concern about religious extremism in the heavily Muslim region.

The official Xinhua News Agency reported Monday that 8,000 police will be recruited so every village in Xinjiang has at least one officer on patrol. It said they will help manage migrants and crack down on illegal religious activities.

See how NO improvement has been made to the choke hold of power the communist have over China. Capitalism has never freed a nation. Only democracy and the will of the people can.
