A prefecture in China’s far western Xinjiang region is requiring all vehicles to install satellite tracking systems as part of stepped-up measures against violent attacks.
Traffic police in Bayingolin Mongol Autonomous Prefecture announced the regulation on Sunday, shortly after thousands of heavily armed police paraded in the Xinjiang capital and ruling Communist Party officials vowed to ramp up their campaign against separatists and Islamic militants.

“Even though Christians don’t do what the Muslims do.”
The state sees itself as the ultimate authority. Therefore, both Muslims and Christians who see Allah and God as the ultimate authority are a danger to the power of the state.
The Chinese government, recognizing the cultural superiority of the Christian west, is attempting to create its own Christianity where the government appoints the church leaders.
