Peopele & Politics | Why Uighurs Exiled in Germany are Worried

The Chinese government is cracking down. Reports from China suggest security forces brutally put down Muslim protests in the western province of Xinjiang. More than 140 people are reported killed.China places the blame on Uigurs living abroad. It says they instigated the protests. The Uigur exile movement in Munich is desperately trying to get information on the uprising and to make their protests against the Chinese government heard.

@MegaBUP

I doubt the Uighurs are required to speak English when "debating" the xinjiang issue with the Chinese. In any event, English is not the pre-requisite language for engaging in discussions or debates.

@dotibility83 By 1865 Yakub Beg had become Commander-in-Chief of the army of Kokand. Taking advantage of the Hui uprising in Xinjiang Province, in Chinese controlled Eastern Turkestan, he captured Kashgar and Yarkand from the Chinese and gradually took control of most of the region of Eastern Turkestan, including Khotan, Aksu, Kucha, and other cities in 1867.[3] He made himself the ruler of Kashgaria with its capital in Kashgar. He died in 1877.

@dotibility83 The area was part of various Khanates before it became part of China's Tang Dynasty until the 9th century. The local empire, Kara-Khanid Khanate ruled from 840 to 1212. The region had been ruled as a section of the Chagatai Khanate, from the Mongol invasion of Central Asia of the 13th Century. In the late 17th Century it experienced fragmentation and annexation by Mongol groups. It again became part of China during the Qing Dynasty with the defeat of the Dzungars from 1757 to 1759

@dotibility83 True the British are partly to be balme.They brought in the Chinese and Indians for their economic gains.When they left they were not responsible for their deeds.Just like Fiji,they left and allowed the ethnic Fijians and Indian Immigrants to solve their feuds.The British were the ones who brought in the Indians.The immigrants were actually the responsibility of the colonial masters who brought them in.

@hajiamnin

So why not blame the British and call them the carpet beggars? What does Singapore have to do with Malaysia then?

@dotibility83 Not all Americans are angels nor not all of them are satans.I have lived in America so I know.True I am grateful That the Chinese have not taken over territories from the less evolved but if they had it their way they would.But not all Chinese are bad people.This is human nature,they conquer when they are strong,but even the Roman Empire do not last forever.
