China Tries to Calm Urumqi as Mobs Take to Streets
Bloomberg News
Tuesday, July 7, 2009
July 7 (Bloomberg) — Hundreds of Chinese from rival ethnic groups fought each other with machetes, metal pipes and bricks in the northwestern city of Urumqi, overcoming police attempts to quell the deadliest clashes in decades.
Police fired tear gas to prevent a mob of Han Chinese from avenging rioting by ethnic Uighurs that left at least 156 dead. The fighting came after thousands of Chinese armed with knives and steel bars clashed with police in Urumqi, capital of the westernmost province of Xinjiang.

The violence illustrates China’s failure to address simmering grievances among its minorities, who complain of restrictions on religious and cultural practices. Beijing’s policy of investing billions of dollars to placate the restive territories of Tibet and Xinjiang has also led to migration by the Han, who make up more than 90 percent of the country’s population, exacerbating tensions.
“Beijing is insistent that Xinjiang, like Tibet, is an integral part of China,” said Jonathan Fenby, director of China research in London at Trusted Sources, a research group. “It’s very difficult to see how either side is going to give way. The prognosis must be for continued unrest, continued tension, and, I’m afraid, outbreaks of violence like this.”

In 1949 the PLA (People’s Liberation Army) have conquered East Turkestan and have renamed it Xinjiang province a name which signifies “a new frontier empire”, then they slaughtered and torture all political opponents from the original sovereign country. Then they slaughter civilians who protested their empire-making. Then they make sterilization mandatory among the Uighurs, abolish the Uighur language, force the adoption of the Chinese language, force them to become Communist, force them to be atheist, restrict their religions, and finally have 49 atom bomb tests radiating the reigion. Then we rape their land for natural resources. We become extraordinarily wealthy as there is abundant oil and natural gas in the region among many other things. So, millions of us flock to the region making them the minority in their own land. They only represent 45% of the population. We dominate all political and economic power. Later, the PLA reach and grab more land from sovereign India. Then call it “elbow room” creating conflict with India! Furthermore, the PLA just calls the entire ethnicity “terrorists” and there have been instances in the past where PLA soldiers attack their own people disguised as rebels and initiate false-flag terrorism. Giving the central government justification to crack down on the entire population and do some more genocide. The PLA are WORSE than the NAZIS!
Why can’t we just have compassion and respect for every ethnicity?!! Why do we have to eradicate the minorities?!!! They have a HUMAN RIGHT to live because they are human too! I have deep sorrow for the Uighurs and hope they will be at peace and their remarkable and unique culture and people will still survive.
P.S. We have received more U.N. awards than anyone yet we fought against the U.N. coalition in the Korean War and we had the honor of hosting the Olympics like Nazi Germany did before.

Oh. Peaceful chinese!!!
China wants only peace for all people around the world.
But only after burning their corpses.
Why no body cares about expansionist policy of Chinese race all around the world?
They have a unique method of setting up their colonies all around the world.

Sounds like they made their own bed. The CIA will take advantage of it, of course. They probably own the drug trade there.

Drug trade is nearly non-existant there. You’re confusing one of N.America’s problems with China.

yep yep, just like there are no homo- sexuals in Iran. The government will not report what it doesnt want people to know

Nope, plenty of gay people in China and Iran. Unfortunately you either don’t understand how massive the market for illegal drugs is in the depressing states of America, or you don’t know anything about China. Whatever the reason for your massive error, you’re wrong.
I would say as a whole China has about 1% of the illegal drug use of the USA.

I imagine Misha will not be commenting on this story due to his/her insistence that the Chinese are not prone to listening to rumors….

I talked personally with a chinesse merchant, he said the big problem is that government gives the “god” jobs to foreigns, the chinesse people receives “bad” jobs, the ones in the factories where they spend months without seeing their families, bad pays, and god only knows.

The Muslims in this location are a minority and always have been.
July 8th, 2009 at 12:29 am
The Chinese government can’t afford to allow this to happen. Don’t expect China to be “politically correct” in handling this islamic unrest. The way to permanently stop this islamic unrest is obvious.
July 8th, 2009 at 2:10 am
No asshole—the way to stop this permanently–IS GRANT ALL MINORITIES TRAPPED WITHIN THE BORDERS OF HOSTILE NATIONS IS TO HAVE THEIR OWN NATIONS ESTABLISHED..THEREBY STOPPING THE CULTURAL GENICIDE YOU SEE TODAY AGAINST THE BIAFRANS–THE MUSLIMS IN WHORE PHILLIPPINES THE BASQUES…AND THE AMERIKAN NATIVES AMONG MANY OTHERS—to do less will bring an ultimate explosion…that will DESTROY ‘ALL’ OF HUMANKIND..

When an exiled separatist orchestrates discontent from the outside, by fluffing up and exaggerating rumors, you can understand the Chinese getting pissed at this.
I’m not a fan of organized religions, not one hasn’t been hijacked and 100% manipulated these days. Every Muslim nation I can think of generally have either sold out or are under massive NWO pressure to conform. After all this I imagine Muslims will fall down very sharply in public opinion here.

This has all the marks of an operation created and managed by the CIA. ORDER OUT OF CHAOS!
Cause China to become destabilized in multiple regions simultaneously and the people will blame it on the Government and once the people are upset at the System, they go in and place their U.S. friendly puppets and then the time is right for a new GLOBAL GOVERNMENT!

Incriminially Sane,
This is one time where I wish this were true, if only because I loathe the Chinese Government even more than the Anglo-American Empire. ANd that’s says alot since I also detest the latter.
