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

I have seen Ms. Ward's ugly show in China for three days. Each day when I see her on TV I can't help slaping her face. It's like telling a story to the Madoff's victims that what a miserable life his wife lead because her husband was unlawfully jailed for nothing did wrong.

John:

Xinjiang have been controlled by Han since 1500 years ago, and no,its not mongol or manchu, in case if you dont know, no manchu and mongol also belong to China, the place Manchu and mongol have been controlled by Chinese many time from Han, Wei, Jin, Sui, Tang, Ming.

So you see, terrority dont belong to anyone, anyone can control anywhere as long as you can hold it.

And we all know Uighur is not the native Xinjiang, they arrived later than Han, the native Xinjiang is an ethnic in Center Asian/Iran who get almost slaughtered completely by Uighurs just like you did to Native Americans.

So yes, terrority are not born for anyone, anyone can take it as long as they can hold it, the only reason why there is no rebel in Xinjiang during the Uighur rule era or no rebel in the US now is because you both have wiped the native off.

Same can be said for Mongolian and Manchu, they have once conqured China, yes, since back then Nomad and their massive horsemen is a big headache for anyone, but now their days have passed, thats why their land are lose to us again, dont complain.

ABC news is so biased against Hans that it spent 85% of the time showing how bad Chinese police treated Uighur life is and spend only less than 10% or no time on Hans victims. Remember, Uighurs mob started this riot, not Hans.

FOUND THIS ON THE INTERNET>

Here are 4 facts about Rebiya Kadeer that I find interesting:

1. She had 11 children, which confirms that Uighurs were not subject to China's One Child Policy.

2. She was born to a family with no background. She started her business with a road side convenient store and worked her way to be THE richest person in the province of Xinjing. This proved Uighurs can earn their business success through hard work.

3. She was a senior member of the People's Congress of Xinjing, and a senior member of the National People's Congress of China. This shows Uighurs were not excluded from political life in China.

4. She was arrested because she provided funding to Eastern Turkestan and carried out activities in China following instructions from Eastern Turkestan. Eastern Turkestan is labeled as terrorist organization by most countries including the US, Russia, China, etc.

Truth

you know, the HuiHui (Uighurs) haave served in ALL chinese armies since the T'ang Dynasty. In fact, some of the main Chinese generals were HuiHui. Well, to me, that means Sinkiang is part of China. Let;s remember, America is only 200 years old, while the T''ang Dynasty was 1200 years AGO.

Another thisg, the CIA has been involved with Tibetan and Uighurs exisles since 1949. Sinkiang (Xinjiang as the Communists call it) is not onlyt part of China, it's where all thye OIL is. That was developed by the Communists under MAO.

THis is all a NEO-CON rogue CIA action over OIL.

This is how we got into RAQ. If we do this with CHINA, well, it's WW3.

Let's be clear on that, you GOP idiots.

The ABC news had some of the most bias reporting. Most of the dead was Han Chinese who were killed by those Uighurs, where are the basic human rights for them? The right to live?

To John
First of all, no matter what kind of grievance these Muslim Uglers have, it is not a justification of the brutal killing of civilian Han Chinese. Or you would be able to justify 911.
Terrorist action is Terrorist, action,and it wont change the nature of the event because it is against Chinese.
When you talking these human rights for minorities, you totally ignore the human rights of the Han Chinese, you have no sympathy of the innocent victims and you never condemned the
Violence these Muslim Ugler Cinese.
There are dozens of minority groups in China, some of them take advantage of the minority policy and live better than Han Chinese. Most of us agree the government should do more to help the minorities. However, criminals should be bring to justice. Plus, Muslim Ugler group cannot blame everything on
on Han Chinese. They have to learn how to protest peacefully, present their political view without resort violence without targeting Han Chinese civilians.
One thing I suggest you, John, is to read some wikipedia before you talking about history and land. You have basically have no clue what you are talking. be knowledgeable before you all love rthe reports.

The reports are biased on ABC that it has never reported balanced storty. Always from view of the Ugler peple.

I'm Chinese, pls don't always take hostile attitude to China.Goverment impregnate peacful mind to every child, why we want to live in peace with other counties, but you always take such attitude to us? I hardly read good news from western media.I think no need to emphasize so called peacful mind now.Our education is failure.When we dream to live in friendly to others, but they take any measure to fabricate acts.China must strong,strong...so that nobody can bully us.
No doubtly, whatever you support, Xinjiang, Tibet are parts of China. How can you change this?Chinese reunification is support from its own people,not foreigners.By the way,if you avaivalable, pls study Chinese history or come here to see whether enthnic groups live in harmonyor and then give comments here.Thanks!

“a pair of Uighur woman began talking to some journalists. They were highly emotional, wailing and crying. What we want here is justice. We don’t have justice and equality for our people.”
1) Yes, Justice, get the fact right! Who kill over hundred of innocent human live in the past week? These Police officers or some Uighur Muslims extremer? Caught on camera, find out yourselves.
2) "equality for our people" yes, anyone whom have visited China before or had lived there for sometime can tell you that Chinese Government had many promotion programs similar as the one we had in US, they provide special funding, they offer class in even far in-land of China in best school to help minority Uighur, Tibetan and other ethnic of Chinese minority to get better education. Besides, In China's college entrance examination, the ethnic minority will get additional point, Han Chinese’s points must over 560,
Uygur student just need to score 300! so that chance to admit to College for minority ethnic group students will be higher? Better education, better chance of getting the high pay job later! Is that "equality"? I think that is more than EQUALITY the Uygur girl asking for! I am so disappointed reporter without finding the truth, selectively posting the irresponsible bias report! Check for yourself! It does not seem that our media is tell nothing but the TRUTH! Yes, justice, I wish the true extremer whom was behind all the killing be trial by the Law. It is NOT the best interest for Chinese government or the police officers to create this issue. But it is for the extreme Uighur religious group! I wish our media should stop stir up hate and ethnic difference among the Chinese citizens. Not every Han and Uighur are enemy as ABC describe here. All of them are not live in fear! Many had relative killed in the attack! Many could not even see their love one to come home because of the terrorist attack? How come None of the victim's family member had been on your report? But someone just was free to worship, still alive, enjoy all the privilege, have your full attention. Is that fair? I wonder if you are there not reporting news but just to gather info for objective of political attack of your old "communist China" and to demonize it people? Shame!

Thank you for the article. It's good to know there are still journalists with guts to defy the usual Chinese "media tour".

Why not just report the victim break down number, instead Charlie said "death toll has risen to 184, one third of those have been Muzilim Uighurs"?
Is this biased or what?

Why not just report the ethnic victim break down number? Instead Charlie said "death toll has risen to 184, one third of those have been Muzilim Uighurs"?
How about the more than two third of victims, who are they? Charlie don't care, right?
Is this biased or what?

I have been following this topic for days. Almost every piece of news report mentioned that the Uyghurs are not treated as good as Han Chinese in China but I could hardly find any real cases illustrating how they are treated as second class citizens. Some just mentioned Uyghurs are forced to abort their babys. What I learned is that in China, Han Chinese are allowed to have only one child by law but Uyghurs are permitted to have three. I don't call it a reasonable policy but apparently Han chinese do not have any advantage here. Rabiya Kadeer, Uyghurs activist now live in US, is a mother of 11 children, all were born in China.

Chinese posters talk about their "minority law" when this law is probably highly corrupt in its enforcement, since the govt. has shown a great deal of corruption as displayed in the shoddy construction work of school houses that crumbled during an eathquake causing thousands to lose their children, and the govt. repressing protests or demand of proper redress. How about the use of melanin in food and milk when it was discovered that it was also due to govt. incompetence, or the expulsion of thousands of peasants while handing the land to wealthier developers and the collusion of Communist Party Officials.
That is what happens when you do not have a govt. that the people can elect, it is not accountable to its own people. So when you say our media is biased it does not compare to the bias of the Chinese govt. and their media, since no one can complain, or fact check.

b: You have some good observations. Yet, one may disagree with some of your assumption.

China has been changing daily if not hourly. It is not accurate to use a static view or to use an OLD impression to measure this rapid changing land, and so dynamically forward moving country.

"So ... is biased it does not compare to the bias of the Chinese govt. and their media"

Up to this point, there is no evident to show that Chinese govt and Chinese media have been bias to any ethnic group. The reason is simple, Good or bad, All are Chinese citizens. It is not wise for any govt to be bias for any group, and Chinese govt knows that too. It is their best interest to United All citizens, not separation, as one harmony nation to move forward to face many other changeling around the world, eg world financial crisis
You are right that if there is no feedback, there is no improvement. Yet, you will be surprise, the fact that China is so open now, it has close link to the rest of the world beyond our imaginations. The Chinese govt has plenty of feedback, I think, from news release section Q/A, by reporters domestic as well as oversea, International firms & companies, etc. Do you know, as we speak, there are over 500 plus news reporters, from 28 countries or place, are reporting on-site. ABC reports can move freely many to place if they don't stir up more violent, I don’t thing the Chinese govt, Chinese police have anything to hide, or if that is even possible to do so . Do you know the "melanin in food and milk" incident you mention here was exposed to the public by the local news reporter? It seems that local media system in China start to function as watchdog. That is a good thing.

Again, China is still a developing country; there are still many things that is under construction, a lot of room for improvement. Corruption (as your mention, issue not just in mainland China, Mr. Chen in Taiwan, Korea…US, But clean gort is the best wish for all citizen ) is of them , society involvement in decision making process, election in the near future, the list goes on. These are a process that could not be achieve over night, It took the United state a few hundred years before we have a black president, Chinese is moving fast, so wait and see. There will be Two Disney in China soon (HK and Shanghai) Miracle do happen.

Uighurs should learn from Martin luther King !

ABC news crew should be trained to report without bias. The news is so biased against those innocent lives who were murdered by Uighurs criminals. I only read talks with those criminals or their relatives. Why don't you guys listen to those husbands whose wives' throats were slashed by the Uighurs. You don't have justice and fairness. ABC news is vicious!

Uyghurs can have dozens of babies while han people can have only one baby , so hundred years after , Han is minority and China will turn into a Muslin country. This will be a disarster to the world , especially to you stupid western world. Muslin will easly to conquer whole world.

Uyghurs student don't need to pay for university education while Han student have to pay expensive tuition almost $1500/year.

Chinese government is stupid , they give too much privilege to Uyghurs.

Government didn't pay for nature resource from Xinjiang , but this is same in Sichuan , Sanxi and all other Chiese province.
Uyghurs also benifit from those resource before their own oil was founded.

The artile is so bias!

I am an ordinary han chinese lived in east china near sea coast, i do not know what the situation really is in west china(damned not East Turkestan ),in all the cities i have lived in,Uyghurs and other minorities are definitly have some kinds of good policies treating them, if they commit a crime,they are facing fewer punishment, in the high school entrance examnations,the can get the entrance ticket with inferior marks, i swear,what i comment here is true.
As i know,the family planning policies is not carried out in minorities,only carried out in han chinese. Lots han chinese around me complain that han chinese as second band citizens in china. I am not approval to the communist government's current ethic policies,it should be equally teating every ethics not considering whether they are han or Uyghur or tibetan people.
