“China – This is not the reality!!11

jeff kang – Only naieve westerners will belive this BS. Chinese communist has bunch of affirmative adction, for example different population management policy that has allowed Uyghur population grow like ants, and the laws are lienent towards them, letting them to be like locusts harming cities. Brooding trouble is Chinese communist’s biggest misstep

observer – China “oppress” Uyghurs? International media calls a horse a deer, exteremist ideology with evil intent. Don’t let this kind of news cloud your mind

caonima – CCP is not good stuff, all you human rights groups are not good stuff either

Look see – this article is bunch of useless lies, thou your heart is at the right place, have you no shame in writing stuff like this?

Xinjiang ren – Kadeer does not represent Uyghurs, all the good Uyghurs busy developing Xinjiang, devloping our country, only to have a elementary-educated merchant with ill-gotten gains to make money with “Xingjian rice” in the west? And this boasting about being mother of Uyghurs, I’ve seen shamelessness, but not like this.

Danger of the west, why are Americans now silent? You know Kadeer created this massacre, why don’t you say something, instead of pretending you don’t know?”

Managing a country of 1.3 billion is very difficult. worse yet, other countries keep adding salt to injury. . . . [sigh]

pray and hope for peace!

Beijing doesn’t really have a good ethnic group policy, believe me and it makes both Hans and minorities unhappy. We all have our own problems that need to be solved so blaming only one side is not fair.

If only you know how Beijing tries to control the ordinary people of minority backgrounds, while at the same time giving them some petty benefits, you’d know what I’m talking about.

It’s about time those policies change for the better so that such tragedies do not repeat themselves.

The greencard is attactive! The money is GOOD! people sell their souls conscience to USA. How Sad!!!

There’s plenty of history of angst and strife in Western China to fully explain riots without necessarily having to add in CIA meddling. But we can always speculate…

No wonder people hate the Americans, but I think they are probably just as much in the dark about shady CIA missions as we are.

1) split Vietnam, failed
2) split Korea, check
3) split Soviet Union, check, create Osama Bin Laden, check, Oooops!
4) help Israel gain independence, hm lots of bloodshed
5) invade Iraq, check, bloodshed
6) invade Afghanistan, in process
…………….ok the list is too long
current target is China
1) try Taiwan, if that fails,
2) try Tibet, if that fails,
3) try Xinjian, if that fails,
4) move onto next target (hopefully a different country). . . .

no wonder so many people hate the Americans!

That said, the US doesn’t concern themselves much with Uyghurs anymore because there is no indication that they have anything against the US, just against China. It is kind of a double standard depending on how you look at it, but US looks out for US and China looks out for China. Is that any surprise? When muslims occupy land that is strategically important or has useful resources, they will be persecuted by opportunistic powers like China and US.

I don’t know if it was a serious statement, but people aren’t complaining about Coke and McDonalds anymore because that was always a silly conspiracy theory; that it was somehow the US’s plan to take over the world via soda and fast food. It’s stupid. If Chinese resent McDonalds for being Western, they don’t buy it, and it goes away. Anyway, KFC seems way more popular these days, so they should start with boycotting that.

Actually, I hope that doesn’t happen. I’d prefer the anti-China sentiment in the US die, and the anti-West sentiment in China die so that I don’t have to hear the stupid conspiracy theories from both sides.

Why aren’t people complaining that Chinese culture taking over by McDonalds and Coke?

My personal experiences with the Uighurs have not been good. I had my wallet stolen from the Uighurs more than once in the subways (people square, shanghai). Even after I pointed out to the police the thieves the police did nothing because they were members of a privileged minority.

Before you accuse me of being a member of the Chinese Communist Party (I am not even Chinese), please do research what other expats in China are saying about the Uighurs. Some people on the Shanghist even made a list of which subway stations the Uighur thieves lurk.
