Uighurs are in the news again. This time, the cause is reports of serious unrest in the province of Xinjiang. Some 140 are reported dead, and hundreds injured. The causes, as can be imagined in Communist China, are murky and do not seem to have been clarified by the media, but I would venture a guess that the causes are similar to last year's riots in Tibet. The riots in Tibet were ignited by ethnic clashes between Han Chinese immigrants and the native Tibetan population. Something similar seems to have happened among the Uighurs.
China's West is looking increasingly wild...
