Chinese government officials walk across a plaza near a display with the Chinese flag at the Xinjiang Islamic Institute, as seen during a government organized visit for foreign journalists, in Urumqi in western China's Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region on April 22, 2021. Under the weight of official policies, the future of Islam appears precarious in Xinjiang, a remote region facing Central Asia in China's northwest corner. Outside observers say scores of mosques have been demolished, which Beijing denies, and locals say the number of worshippers is on the decline. (AP Photo/Mark Schiefelbein)
