to provide background information of why @TaiShang started this thread:

There is a storm in Turkey president's own (state) and religious zealot media (as I was informed by my colleague) as to the dancing imams. LOL.

Not miraculously, all from the same source (World Bulletin - News Desk), which is itself a Turkey news portal with Turkish, Arabic and English content. The news has been cooked inside the newsroom, probably one of radical reporters cutting and pasting the original Xinhua picture and adding his/her own interpretation.

From this, the entire Turkey Islamist and President's media spread the BS.

A herdsman in China's far western Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region found a 17-pound (7.85-kilogram) gold nugget that was "practically lying on bare ground".

The Kazak herdsman, Berek Sawut, from Qinghe County in Altay Prefecture made the extraordinary discovery around 5 p.m. last Friday. The estimated price for such an unexpected luck, assuming the nugget is 80 percent pure (Nuggets are usually 80 to 90 percent pure), is a whopping 1.6 million yuan (255,313 US dollars) based on latest gold price.

Zhu Xinfeng, a local expert said the price of natural gold, considering its uniqueness, is often several times higher than that of standard gold.

The random-shaped gold nugget is about 23 centimeters long, 18 centimeters on its widest side and 8 centimeters at its thickest.

A gold nugget is a naturally produced irregular piece of gold, and is most frequently found through mining. The name Altay means gold in Mongolian. A 1.84-kg gold nugget was also found in Altay in 2010.
 
Apart from its cute dancing competitions, Xinjiang also witnesses continues improvement in its vital infrastructure.

480,000 Xinjiang rural residents to access drinking water
2015-02-07

URUMQI, Feb. 7 (Xinhua) -- Around 480,000 rural residents in China's far western Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region will have access to clean and safe drinking water this year, said the regional government on Friday.

The central authorities and regional government will invest 329 million yuan (about 54 million U.S. dollars) in 2015 to water projects, according to the regional development and reform commission.

By the end of this year, more than 3.4 million residents and 440,000 teachers and students in rural and pastoral areas of Xinjiang will gain access to drinking water that meets safety standard, the commission said.

Since 2011, Xinjiang has planned to spend more than three billion yuan in building water supply projects, especially in rural areas.

Cave tombs discovered in Xinjiang
2015-02-05

URUMQI, Feb. 5 (Xinhua) -- Chinese archaeologists have identified a cliff cave burial site in Tashkurgan Tajik Autonomous County on the Pamirs Plateau in farwest Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

Three cave tombs were found in high cliffs in the county after a region-wide heritage survey in 2014, said Ai Tao from the Xinjiang Archaeological Institute.

Besides human bones, infant corpses were found sealed inside niches in the walls and covered by rocks or earth.

Ai said such a custom was rare in China, but local Tashkurgans did bury stillborn babies in this way until a few decades ago.

A cluster of 102 tombs, 40 percent of which were made for infants, were unearthed in nearby Kezilesu Kirgiz Autonomous Prefecture in 2013.


It is believed that cave burial, which can also be found in China's southwestern provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou, was practiced as far back as 4,000 years ago.

The Indonesian and Chinese governments have agreed to enhance cooperation in the exchange of information on nine terrorism suspects from the Uighur region in Xinjiang, who are believed to have fled to terror-torn Poso in Central Sulawesi.

The cooperation agreement was signed by the head of the National Counterterrorism Agency (BNPT) Comr. Gen. Saut Usman and China’s Deputy Public Security Minister Meng Hongwei in a ceremony in Beijing on Tuesday.

According to the information received from the Indonesian Embassy in Beijing, the Uighur terrorism suspects have been included in a list of international terrorist groups.

"They are believed to have fled to Poso by taking the land route through Myanmar, southern Thailand and Malaysia. From Malaysia, they entered Indonesia through Medan with Turkish passports and they posed as asylum seekers when they were in Medan,” he said as quoted by Antara news agency.

According to Saut, the terrorism suspects went to Puncak in Bogor to join a group of people from the Middle East who wanted to go to Poso.

He said the police in Central Sulawesi have arrested four of the nine Uighur terrorism suspects who had entered Poso, while three had fled into the Poso jungle and two others escaped to Malaysia.

The police said that the four arrestees initially admitted to have come from the Uighur region in China, but after further investigation, they retracted their statements and said they came from their hometown in Turkey.

Saut said the police had difficulty questioning the four because they gave different statements.

The nine were believed to be part of the Uighur separatist group that launched a terrorist attack on a train station in Kunming, Yunnan province in southwestern China, on March 1, 2014, killing 33 people and wounding 133 others. The five captured will likely be extradited to China as the two countries signed an extradition treaty in 2009.
