China's vast northwest province of Xinjiang is home to a minority Muslim population known as the Uyghurs. Like neighboring Tibet, its people face similar problems: religious restrictions, forced abortions, imprisonment and execution. Yet the plight of Uyghurs is underreported and largely ignored in the West. They practice a moderate interpretation of Islam. They are without a prominent leader or the romantic allure that draws so much attention to Tibet. The Chinese government explains its heavy hand by labeling the Uyghurs as separatists and-after September 11th-as terrorists.
This Stanley Foundation video, filmed in November 2008, explores China's treatment of its Uyghur population through interviews with various experts and a visit to Xinjiang province.

How about Hawaii? Why English is taught in Hawaii schools? Why now Hawaiians can speak English? Why Hawaiians accept and live in American way even though they still have their kind of cultural inherited?
Why not the States let Hawaii be independent or let them establish their republic or autonomous region? Why not the States decide to ban Engl;ish in their schools but let them get educated purely in Hawaiin? Hawaii was not historically part of the States and only became the part of the States after the massive expansion of the States in 19th Century? Why not let them free? There is so many whys. so think before you bullshit on youtube.

says an american who invades countries, bomb women and children, arm dictators, eat dead iraqi babies. fuck amerikkka. ask urself why ur country is the most hated in the world
First off: America is not greater than China ever will be and only an ignorant fool would come out with such nonsense. China is set by 2020 to overtake America as the worlds most powerful economy. And Americans aren't FREE. You had two elections ripped off by Bush and did nothing about it. You don't have health care for millions of your citizens and those who do have it are owned by insurance companies. And your media lies to you routinely. China brought millions out of poverty - show respect.
