Chinese military police get off a plane to attend an anti-terrorist oath-taking rally in Xinjiang, on February 27.

Chinese military police get off a plane to attend an anti-terrorist oath-taking rally in Xinjiang, on February 27.

China is intensifying its crackdown against what it deems religious extremism in the far-west province of Xinjiang, which is home to 10 million Muslims.
 
The latest measures -- outlined in a sweeping new anti-extremism legislation -- take effect Saturday and come on the heels of a series of steps to increase surveillance in the region that include the surrender of passports and mandatory GPS trackers in cars.
 
"They're doubling down on security in Xinjiang," said James Leibold, an associate professor at Australia's Le Trobe University, whose research focuses on China's Uyghur minority.

Chinese is not a religion. So I assume you mean the Chinese government behaviour towards the Uyghurs, many of whom are muslims. Well, Guyanese don't care about anyone except themselves. So I doubt many would even know anything about the Uyghur people.

It was an Uyghur general that led Chinese forces in the capture of Tibet.

Many countries are taking steps to curb terrorism beyond the United States, yet everyone only blames Donald Trump for his temporary travel ban on Muslim states known to sponsor terrorism. 

Those countries are not governed by the Constitution of the US of A which prohibits religious discrimination. The judicial branch of the government rejected his ban. Try very very very hard to understand the significance.
