Clashes between demonstrators and police broke out in the Muslim-majority town of Yuxi in the southern Yunnan region. Around 30 people were apparently arrested, according to the AP news agency, but the exact number is unclear.
Videos showing the protests were removed from Chinese online networks. Chinese leadership justifies the action with the fight against "terrorism". In the past, mosques have been completely demolished or partially dismantled. An estimated one million Uyghurs, Hui and other Muslims have been arrested in Xinjiang since 2017.
