These sentences were police actions instead of vengeances, I hope those Uighar people will understand,zero tolerances of terrorism or violence acts against anybody! They mistook the Chinese government will appeasing their misconducts due to their minority status and goes on the killing spree and that proofed wrong!By the way those Han ethnics should let the justice system to punish those perpetrators and no way to take justice by their hands!

Han chinese/Uighurs/Xinjiang conditions is it getting better for all ?
Governing China is not easy,but party china systems,doing better job ,than 2nd most populated democratic nation poorer India.
Hu Jin tao systems better the Manmohan singh's democratic but poorer systems.
China wealth is 8 trillion but India is half that only,definitely Hu JIn Tao systems of single party Capitalism, doing better than former british ruled India systems.

Who is really the terrorist here. When all you have lived for and all who you are is challenged with extinction. -Change is difficult and China is in a period of massive change.

There was no 'extinction' inside China,it was a myth fabricated! The fundamental problem was the Uighurs refused to cooperate with Chinese migrants who were giving much contributions to build a better Xinjiang. Some of the Uighurs see law and order as nothing, they are always carrying out criminal activities and proclaim'discriminations' held over them when law begins to sanction. Those Uighur perpetrators committed assaults,arsons,thefts and murders in mass against Han Chinese people due to ethnic hatred motives! Now thats match the definition of 'terrorists'! By the way the Al Qaedia has issued 'jihad'video against world Chinese on 7th Oct, that was the proof that Uighur sabotages has a link between them!

Migrants? Bringing presents? Sounds a lot like the white man coming to trade with the Native Americans! You get the beads, we get your lands.
Maybe the Han should save their presents for people who want them? Or, beware of Han bearing presents?
There is a word you should look up. Its called "condescending".

Yes, I believe it is true that some Uighurs have received training abroad from the Taliban and Al-Qaida.
These recent riots, however, bear no similarities with ultra-Islamic terrorist attack methods.
The people sitting in court looked quite cooperative, and slightly bewildered. One has to conclude that the authorities are making examples out of them, in order to deter future problems.

It ain't gonna get you anywhere China. Will you be the next group to enter Afghanistan to stop the source of this hate after the Americans get pushed out?

Will you be the next group to enter Afghanistan to stop the source of this hate after the Americans get pushed out? Interesting idea, but you can be certain that i and when China does it ,it will be blood everywhere.They don't muck around in war.

I have to agree with Investigator, the whole building a better Xinjiang(any other country/territory name) is the classic imperialist line. If Uighurs refused to cooperate with Han migrants, then obviously the don't want Han migrants moving in. It's thier land and their culture they feel is at risk, and if the Uighurs learned anything from how China bettered Tibet, they aren't going to pretend that everything is going to ok.
