1 Jan 2009 Jahr - Rioting in Xinjiang’s capital

Beschreibung:

In 2009, rioting in Xinjiang’s capital broke out as mostly Uyghur demonstrators protested against state-incentivized Han Chinese migration in the region and widespread economic and cultural discrimination. Experts say nearly two hundred people were killed, marking a turning point in Beijing’s attitude toward Uyghurs. In the eyes of Beijing, all Uyghurs could potentially be terrorists or terrorist sympathizers.
