Original Note:
While it's true that this happened in China, it is not a widespread policy as the post is trying to imply. This happened in Xinjiang, as a "counter-terrorism" measure against the Uyghur Muslims, which has been reported by Human Rights Watch and heavily criticized globally. https://www.hrw.org/report/2018/09/10/eradicating-ideological-viruses/chinas-campaign-repression-against-xinjiangs
