Xinjiang Province: News & Discussions

[Feng Leng]

This is unlike the US, where angry minorities can take to the streets and protest after every injustice.

Was Occupy Wall Street allowed to protest injustice?

Was Occupy Wall Street allowed to protest injustice?

Yeah, they held their protests for quite a long time. Not just in NYC but throughout the country in smaller cities even.

It's quite well known that Americans have the right to protest. China, not so much.

Every time you see happy Uighurs and Tibetans in the Chinese media, they are forced to play make believe.

US Police is good at shooting blacks, disabled people in wheelchairs and beating women in a supermarket. In China we don't fear police but in US, everyone I talked to say they fear police when they see them even they did nothing wrong. US is a police state.

Just because China sends millions more of domestic obnoxious tourists to watch Uighurs play up stereotypical tropes like dancing in their traditional costumes and pretend to be happy, does not mean there is authentic happiness.

Just like in North Korea.

Adopting the strict security measures in Xinjiang is absolutely necessary consideration of the extreme situation of terrorism and separatism.
If you or your family had been caught in the awkward middle of 7.5 incident, you would not call it "oppression".
US protects its own people by bombing other sovereign states with the cost of tens of thousands innocent people.
CN protects its own people by adopting strict security measures on our own land.
US has every right to criticize China except the human right/racial issue.
Save your freedom and human right bla bla bla shit to your self.

Just like in North Korea.

Just like in Afg.

 

[haidian]

In US you are more likely to get shot on the street for nothing, mugged when going out at night and throwing behind bars. I guess that's part of so called freedom, freedom to shoot is one of them.

You think it is right to punish an entire population of Uighurs because of the act of a few terrorists? The Uighurs are having their culture and religion completely suppressed and massive numbers in the hundreds of thousands, constantly detained. You think this is justified?

BTW, most Hans who live in Xinjiang do not bother to learn their language or learn their culture. You don't think this doesn't breed resentment?

You think it is right to bomb an entire sovereign country of Muslim because of the act of a few terrorists? The Muslim in the middle east are having their home and city completely bombed and destructed and massive numbers in the hundreds of thousands, constantly become a refugee. You think this is justified?
BTW,most US army who invade Afg in middle east do not bother to learn theri language or learn their culture. You don't think this doesn't breed resentment?

 

[Zibago]

Not really. Are Muslims in the US being locked up in huge detention centers without any offenses? Are people prevented from speaking their minds?

China does not have any racial diversity. It has some small minorities like the Uighurs and Tibetans who have tiny populations vs the huge Han population, 10 million vs 1.1 billion. The US has every race and ethnicity within its borders, it is relatively peaceful considering that.

US cant play the morally superior card anymore after it locked up children in cages

Freedom to spray

Who said I supported those wars? I'm against them. It doesn't change the fact that the Uighurs are oppressed.

It's funny that many of the Chinese nationalists here, instead of facing the undeniable truth that the Uighurs are being oppressed, just point fingers at other countries. It doesn't change the reality that what China is doing in Xinjiang is very repressive and immoral.

Freedom to spray

So some pepper spray and batons versus hundreds of thousands locked in re education camps and forced to denounce their own religion and culture. No comparison at all.

Are you joking? US has the world biggest inmate population, second to none. US police shot dead hundreds if not thousands people every year and you still have the shame to accuse others.

I'm against locking up the children, but it doesn't change the fact that the Uighurs are oppressed.

Also, you can't compare locking up illegals who voluntarily and illegally cross the border versus imprisoning hundreds of thousands of your own citizens who are being categorized as a threat just because of their ethnicity.

China is just going to create more terrorists because of how cruel the government is treating the Uighurs.

Only US media locks up Uighur kids, they use heavily guarded Xinjiang kindergartens and elementary schools as proof photos to make their point, so laughable and they get ones like you to spread those rumors, but you did a bad job.

See the result of bilingual education. This Uighur girl goes back to her grandparents village to visit her grandparents, the girl speaks perfect Chinese, she speaks better Mandarin than me who was born and grew up in Beijing! While she also speaks Uighur when talking to her grandparents, her grandparent can not speak a word of Chinese. See the great change happened in recent generations.
