China\u2019s crackdown on Muslims in Xinjiang province has spread to Ningxia, signaling a hardening in Beijing\u2019s management of ethnic and religious groups.<\/h4>\n

Authorities began a security clampdown in Xinjiang last year, detaining at least 1m Muslim Uighurs in internment centers, a move that has drawn international condemnation. China\u2019s leaders said the detentions were necessary and have recast them as \u201cvocational education\u201d facilities.<\/h4>\n

Efforts by Beijing to broaden its control over China\u2019s ethnic minorities were highlighted last week when Ningxia signed a counter-terrorism co-operation agreement with Xinjiang.<\/h4>\n

Zhang Yunsheng, a senior Ningxia party official, has praised Xinjiang\u2019s counter-terrorism efforts, calling on his province to \u201cbetter integrate with Xinjiang\u201d and to \u201cstrengthen the deep co-operation between the two places in antiterrorism, social stability, and ethnic religion\u201d.<\/h4>\n

Mr Zhang\u2019s entourage last month visited an internment center in Urumqi, the provincial capital, as well as two Xinjiang prisons, according to the Legal Daily, a newspaper managed by the Communist party\u2019s political and legal commission.<\/h4>\n

The high-level exchange has paved the way for the export of Xinjiang\u2019s techniques to Ningxia, home to the largest concentration of the Muslim Huis, one of China\u2019s largest ethnic minority groups numbering more than 10m.<\/h4>\n

Even before the agreement, there had been tight religious restrictions in Ningxia. This summer, residents in Weizhou gathered in a rare protest over the planned demolition of the city\u2019s recently completed Grand Mosque. Religious classes for children have been suspended region-wide since February while Islamic symbols and halal signs have been removed as part of a campaign to \u201cSinocize\u201d Islam.<\/h4>\n
