Amazing feature at the Financial Times showing the architectural side of China's crackdown on Islam. Above, the Weizhou grand mosque before and after its Sinocization.

The government says the changes are to modernise the mosques and “harmonise” them with Chinese culture.

The rebuilding has also included the installation of surveillance cameras.
