Freedom of religious belief enacted

A white paper released yesterday said China has fully implemented the policy of freedom of religious belief in Xinjiang, protecting normal religious activities and ensuring the public’s freedom of religious belief.

Normal religious needs of local people have been satisfied, it said.

Xinjiang has published translations of the religious classics of Islam, Buddhism, and Christianity in multiple languages, and 1.76 million copies of the Quran and selections from Al-Sahih Muhammad Ibn-Ismail al-Bukhari have been printed and distributed.

“Legitimate rights of religious organizations have been effectively safeguarded,” the white paper read.

Xinjiang has 112 religious organizations, which receive help from the government to improve religious toleration.
