Riots in Xinjiang continue. Bloody, bloody fights and brutal killings continue to erupt between Han and Uighur. People are dying on both sides and I think the masses don’t even know why they’re fighting. Issues involving discrimination that range from Han and Uighur competing for good jobs, to restrictions imposed on religious activity have always been a point of contention. But these riots seem to have erupted from a dispute, that originated miles and miles away in the SE province of Guangdong, that was based on false rumor. The NYTimes has reported a lot on Uighur deaths. On today’s front page, a different story about the loss of a young Han Chinese boy and his family that must cope with this tragedy. Read it if you have some time.

I’ve always felt the Western media overlooked the Uighur issue. Now, “Uighur” is splashed onto the front pages of American papers and websites, much like a cold, cold shower.
