Uighurs Gather for Muslim Holy Day as Hundreds of Police Stand Guard

yeah blame everything on Han chinese. I suggest the reporter do some interview in the hospital. Tell the other side of story. I'm sicking tired seeing bias report everytime i read some news from ABC. This reporter need to do some chinese minority law to see how chinese treat ethnic minority. The ethnic has much more right and freedom compare to Han chinese.

Thank you for seeing the Uyghur struggle. Uyghurs are treated as second class citizens in their own countries. They are being outbred by Chinese in their own lands, forced to abort their babies by Chinese police, and can't get jobs or good education due to discrimnation from Han Chinese. The issue is the exact same as Tibet. God bless them. I hope they and the Tibetans shall get what they are looking for.

Kind of curious why the ABC reporter are so biased, to a point that everyone can see.

Is it for job security, or just to carter to some political agenda?

The ABC reporter is unbiased. Please justify your occupation in Tibet and East Turkestan. Oh, because you won it during the cultural revolution? That doesn't excuse any of the human rights violations at all.

michael,

Did you even read the articles I posted? Populations (minorities) over 10 million are not exempted, and there are child restrictions imposed whether what status you hold. Also, the articles showed the discrimination of Uyghurs by Han Chinese. Uyghurs are unhappy for a reason, you should listen. As for Muslim terrorism, I do not support terrorism, however, the attack is for their personal freedoms, much like how you justify the attacks against the Manchus during the Xinhai revolution. Thus, these acts are a plea for help, rather than just empty violence and slavery like Chinese oppression of Tibetans.

its funny people criticizing chinese treatment of minority without do some background check on minority law. a sample search from google reveal this from wiki.

"The PRC's Constitution and laws guarantee equal rights to all ethnic groups in China and help promote ethnic minority groups' economic and cultural development. One notable preferential treatment ethnic minorities enjoy is that they are exempt from the population growth control of the One-Child Policy. Ethnic minorities are well represented in the National People's Congress as well as governments at the provincial and prefectural levels. Some ethnic minorities in China live in what are described as ethnic autonomous areas. These "regional autonomies" guarantee ethnic minorities the freedom to use and develop their ethnic languages, and to maintain their own cultural and social customs. In addition, the PRC government has provided preferential economic development and aid to areas where ethnic minorities live."

btw John, ethnic minority HAS right to have multiple child VS Han chinese can only have one. The So called Uighurs leader has 5+ children when she was in china.

yeah Uighurs unhappy because most of time the Han has better skill and higher education. So when an employer higher someone they prefer the one with better skill, which usually are han chinese. have you notice most Uighur don't even understand Mandarin. Its like you expect to get hired in a US company that speak english, but you can only speak spanish.

oops alot typo in that last comment. anyway i just felt the wester media has a lot bias when reporting china. I can say this because i live in state have access to both source

Nope, native Americans did not lay claim on American soil. In fact, they acknowledge that they did not "own" the land. So thus, during the Yuan and Qing dynasties where the Manchus and Mongols treated you like subhumans, don't tell me that the Xinhai revolution was a lie.

You talk about media bias when you should know yourself that Tiananmen Square incident is blocked. You believe all the news you hear from Xinhua and say Western media is biased? Gimme a break.

"Can't we all just get along?"

@john

we all know chinese central media is bias, but the so called FREE PRESS is bias as much as chinese media or even worst. This is even worst then government control media. two wrong don't make right.

Xinjiang has been part of the Manchu empire (Qing), doesn't mean it is Chinese. Chinese have never considered Manchus Chinese. So Chinese have been part of the Manchu and Mongol empire, but each of these have always considered the Chinese population as subhumans. Either way, the occupation and ethnic genocide is wrong.

Rabiya Kadeer has a dozen children, she lives in the US and is quite old. This couldn't have happened in China today, with the forced abortions going on.

And you say I support 9/11? You're absolutely nuts. However, I support Tibet, East Turkistan, and Mongolian freedom from oppressive China. No doubt about it.

How is free press more biased than a centralized government that controls what the world wants them to hear?

Either way, no use arguing with the pro-China idiots who obviously live in some Western country.

Manchus are a ethnic group in china. do you history check will ya

Sorry, I actually have a "real" job, not make some cheap, lead-infested toys, produce melamine in milk, make fake medicine, paint pills using lead paint, replace toothpaste with cheap anti-freeze, etc. The list goes on...

Sorry, I actually have a real job, not work in a sweatshop making cheap toys living off 2 cents a day.

Manchus aren't ethnically Han. During the Qing Dynasty, you had various rebellions and revolts, even your slogan was "Destroy the Manchu, restore Han China"

Han chinese are racist. They are settlers on occupied turkemnistan of the Uighurs.

They live on thier land and discrminate agaisnt them. They were roaming the streets with weapons right in front of the police. This proves the racism and bias against the Ughurs.

the world news coverage on massacre in Xinjiang, China is so disgusting, disturbing and untruthful. Why did your people selectively tell the one side story? It raises my serious doubt for how true the ABC News on other subjects. It's like a network insisted on coveraging mistreatment of Muslims in USA just after 911 attack.
