I do respect the uygher people, but I don't see any of your western media say anything about the killings of chinese civilians. You are only using the uyghers as your own weapon. U people don't ever care for anyone, unless it pays of somehow.

(Part9) Soon after the unrest in March 2008, the Chinese authorities expelled journalists and tourists from the areas. Except for three government-organized media visits on 27-28 March, 9 April and 6 June 2008, the TAR and surrounding Tibetan-populated areas remained sealed off to foreign journalists and tourists until August when Zhaibung Monastery, a major Buddhist monastery in Lhasa, reopened to tourists.

(Part8) The Amnesty International U.S.A, 「Racial discrimination against Tibetans」Since the unrest in the Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) and Tibetan-populated areas in neighbouring provinces in March 2008, serious human rights violations have been reported during and following the police and military crackdown on Tibetan protests in these areas. The Chinese authorities have kept access to Tibetan populated areas tightly restricted.

(Part7)Also, this very photo has been taken by Correspondent KUMASAKI （Japanese）in the province of Paoshan in the vicinity of Shanghai, on October 14, 1937.

In short, a scene of peaceful farming village has been secretly switched to the one that is taking villagers to somewhere prior to rape en masse. It is indeed a wicked act of secretly switching the picture. You know, this is the usual measures of China Government. Government miss led Chinese people, Chinese are not wrong.

(Part6)A set of four of pictures have appeared in the journal with the explanation, titled as "Utopia amidst the Gun-power: The 'Rising Sun' Village South of the Yangtze." The picture captioned with "A group of women and children from the Rising Sun Village returning from the fields, guarded by our soldiers." In those days in china, the lootings are often committed by the deserted Chinese soldiers. Therefore, the farmers have needed the protection of Japanese troops to engage in farming safely.
