Rebiya Kadeer is trying to push her own version of the events, but does not mention the taking of hostages at all. If the incident is prompted by the authorities "gunning down peaceful protesters", then how did it end? If the "protesters" stormed the police station after seeing their friends being gunned down, what then prompted them to leave afterward? Unfortunately, Kadeer is rather mum on that detail. Perhaps they're going to claim that the whole stand-off at the police station was fabricated by the PRC government.


What surprised me though, is the relatively fair-handed way this is being reported. It's certainly a far cry from the way the 2008 Tibet Riots were reported, and even an improvement over the 2009 Urumqi riots.

Rebiya is only gonna expose herself as a liar by glossing over the hostages part. I can't believe that people still genuinely believe that this is a "peaceful protest". Two police officers and two hostages are dead (the hostages died trying to ESCAPE) and they still try to portray this as some sort of PRC oppression.

What sort of differences where there between the 2009 reporting and this one?

About not mentioning of the hostages, even if that were, it's possible that would be waved away as desperate measures taken against a oppression. Doesn't make it right, but the blame would be laid back on the government.

Here's a comparison:

As for the lack of mentioning hostages: if there were hostages, then it makes their narrative simply unbelievable.

when people choose to be stupid, we can't stop them right?

Justice shall be served. And they think they can get away? Now the REAL fun begins..

If they are not executed it is not enough to calm the people's anger. I heard that one of the police officers who died was Uighur. Does any one have more info on this?

Politically, this is a huge blow to current Xinjiang administration, at merely 5th July, the "anniversary" of the riot of 2009, the party chairman for Xinjiang province, (which is half rank higher than Xinjiang Governor) Zhang Chunxian, just showed himself infront of TV, visiting the exact the same bazaar at evening time, with minimun security measure, and direct communicate with the people there, about their living standard and other social life matters. Trying to showing that Xinjiang is recovered from the last riot.

Zhang replaced the former party chairman who did his job well, but being accused by people like BBC and CNN freeworld analysts, as "hardliner", when during the 2009 riot. Zhang trys to dedicated even more (it always have had plenty, despite who is the chairman) resources to economical and social welfare, and VERY caution (let's say, over caution) about ethnic matters.

The deleted basher post in this thread page 2, somehow coming with thier own foothold. CPC simply caught in between of domestic accuse that they were over caution of ethnic matters that "let it go" any small-timer crimes in ethnic destrict, and accumulated social unrest over the whole country (people hate double-standard when some can "get away" simply because of minor ethnic race identity); and overseas vox populi trying to paint whatever CPC did as Nazi. - The basher posts, is unrational, but Let me tell everyone, they have their way around in China, mainly in Han ethnic race communities.

I myself don't care "political measures", I wish law and order over every corner of China, and the opportunity for prosper is equal for everyone.

.... and overseas extremists go to hell. (all sorts of religions have their own explanation of hell)

in 80s and 90s, even early 00s the place was peaceful enough that high schools could organize cultural exchange tours to XinJiang.

The Chinese indigenous Jihadists MAY BE, not the same buch who being hunted all over the world, they may even not necessaryly sharing the same vision, or taking any "order" in a command & control fashion from the overseas big-timer like AQ. But make no mistake, they are Jihadists to their bone, although they are foxy enough to hide it in front of somewhat unsespecting "international community".

The best way they "play" it, is to mix up the hype of "China (or better, the commy) suppress the minority races" with their own jihadism goal. One piece a time, seperating the Uigur ethnic autonomy districts from China, to form some independent islamic country.

Again, they may not taking orders from AQ, but big-timers like AQ likes this kind of idea, and when funds and other supports presenting to them, the Chinese jihadists didn't turn them away.

Because gentlemen, you lives behind a "Great Firewall" of your own country.
Radical Islamic Jihadists are nothing more than crazed fanatical ideologists, pushing a political and cultural tyranny disguised as religion. They seek to kill or enslave the world, plain and simple.

There is no middle ground with such, just as there was no such middle ground with the fanatical Nazis or fanatical Imperialist. Absolute and utter defeat must be handed to them, and those who support them...wherever they may be found.

America's firewall in this regard, as regards this particular brand of tyranny, was taken down on 911. We have not forgotten.

You sound as if nobody dares to go to Xinjiang these days... O_O

First of all, Xinjiang is HUGE, and the ethnic make-up varies from region to region. Some places tend to be more troublesome than others, but it would be a mistake to generalize the entire province.

Secondly, I'm pretty sure there have been plenty of "incidents" in Xinjiang, but we don't hear it reported as often as we do now. It's a sign that the Chinese government is (slowly) getting more media-savvy.
