and hence the chinese government is very paranoid of anything that may be seen as undermining that central authority.
Any other social structure such as religions/faith etc that grows strong and challenge that authority must be restricted and regulated.
The muslims in xinjiang are treated as if they want to break away from China, and hence the government create programs to move han chinese to xinjian areas to dilute the influence of xinjiang muslims, and any demand by muslims for more autonomy is squashed immediately. This also happened in Tibet.
