    Police officers killed in China were ethnic Uighurs

    Published: September 2, 2008


    BEIJING: Two police officers who were killed and five who were wounded in an ambush in western China on Aug. 27 were ethnic Uighurs searching for a woman who they thought might have been involved in an earlier attack, said a police officer in the village where the ambush took place.

    The attackers were also Uighurs, a Muslim Turkic group common throughout the western region of Xinjiang. Brandishing knives, the attackers set upon a group of unarmed police officers as they were walking through a cornfield in the village of Qizilboy, said the police officer, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he did not have permission to talk to reporters.

    Many Uighurs resent rule by the Han Chinese and advocate greater political freedom and economic benefits, or even an entirely independent Uighur-run nation.

    But some Uighurs have also benefited from policies put in place by the Communist Party, including many who work in the security forces or in the local government.

    it is always this case,in ten years fighting against islamic extremists,even more Uighur police officers and soldiers died and wounde than han chinese officers.i have to admit Uighurs are good fighters for both sides.in 1959,uighur PLA troops took part in putting down tibetan uprising and Uighur military units took especially active role during the border war between china and indian and former soviet union,many of them awarded national heros afterwards.

                  according my Chinese friends there is a huge ongoing assimilation campaign towards Uygurs.

                  Chinese make them hibernate from west to the east. and you understand the consequences within 1-2 generations.
                  Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none; be able for thine enemy rather in power than use; and keep thy friend under thine own life's key; be checked for silence, but never taxed for speech.

                    uighurs are turkic language speaking people and their religion is islam,so basically they and people in turkey are the same people cause they can talk to each other with their own language,that's my uighur friends told me.but turkey government and chinese government has very good relations,it must be difficult for them to deal with this situation,cause overseas uighurs independence movement"eastern turkistan movement"has their headquaters based in turkey.

                              China Demolishes Mosque for Not Supporting Olympics: Group
                              June 23, 2008

                              BEIJING (Reuters) - Chinese authorities in the restive far western region of Xinjiang have demolished a mosque for refusing to put up signs in support of this August's Beijing Olympics, an exiled group said on Monday.

                              The mosque was in Kalpin county near Aksu city in Xinjiang's rugged southwest, the World Uyghur Congress said.

                              The spokesman's office of the Xinjiang government said it had no immediate comment, while telephone calls to the county government went answered.

                              "China is forcing mosques in East Turkistan to publicize the Beijing Olympics to get the Uighur people to support the Games (but) this has been resisted by the Uighurs," World Uyghur Congress spokesman Dilxat Raxit said in an emailed statement.

                              Beijing says al Qaeda is working with militants in Xinjiang to use terror to establish an independent state called East Turkistan.

                              Oil-rich Xinjiang is home to 8 million Turkic-speaking Uighurs, many of whom resent the growing economic and cultural influence of the Han Chinese.

                              Dilxat Raxit added that the mosque, which had been renovated in 1998, was accused of illegally renovating the structure, carrying out illegal religious activities and illegally storing copies of the Muslim holy book the Koran.

                              "All the Korans in the mosque have been seized by the government and dozens of people detained," he said. "The detained Uighurs have been tortured."

                              The Olympic torch relay passed through Xinjiang last week under tight security, with all but carefully vetted residents banned from watching on the streets and tight controls over foreign media covering the event.
