Don't forget the LA riots all started with a couple of white police officers beating up an unarmed black man. I don't think you nor most of the members here would agree with that statement. For a person who professes to be so well-read about China your statement is shockingly naive.
Im aware of a tense under current in Xinjiang,caused by/
the way they can practise their religion
migration
and a feeling of being an underclass in what they see as their own country.
At this stage Im merely going on the reports of the newspapers.
Perhaps the Chinese authorities brought the whole situation upon themselves, in not been seen to be dealing with the rape complaint fairly. IMO the Chinese tendency to suppress stories, they consider to be negative results in rumors and distortions that can get out of hand.
