Uighurs Gather for Muslim Holy Day as Hundreds of Police Stand Guard

yeah blame everything on Han chinese. I suggest the reporter do some interview in the hospital. Tell the other side of story. I’m sicking tired seeing bias report everytime i read some news from ABC. This reporter need to do some chinese minority law to see how chinese treat ethnic minority. The ethnic has much more right and freedom compare to Han chinese.

Kind of curious why the ABC reporter are so biased, to a point that everyone can see.
Is it for job security, or just to carter to some political agenda?

michael,
Did you even read the articles I posted? Populations (minorities) over 10 million are not exempted, and there are child restrictions imposed whether what status you hold. Also, the articles showed the discrimination of Uyghurs by Han Chinese. Uyghurs are unhappy for a reason, you should listen. As for Muslim terrorism, I do not support terrorism, however, the attack is for their personal freedoms, much like how you justify the attacks against the Manchus during the Xinhai revolution. Thus, these acts are a plea for help, rather than just empty violence and slavery like Chinese oppression of Tibetans.

yeah Uighurs unhappy because most of time the Han has better skill and higher education. So when an employer higher someone they prefer the one with better skill, which usually are han chinese. have you notice most Uighur don’t even understand Mandarin. Its like you expect to get hired in a US company that speak english, but you can only speak spanish.

Nope, native Americans did not lay claim on American soil. In fact, they acknowledge that they did not “own” the land. So thus, during the Yuan and Qing dynasties where the Manchus and Mongols treated you like subhumans, don’t tell me that the Xinhai revolution was a lie.

“Can’t we all just get along?”

Xinjiang has been part of the Manchu empire (Qing), doesn’t mean it is Chinese. Chinese have never considered Manchus Chinese. So Chinese have been part of the Manchu and Mongol empire, but each of these have always considered the Chinese population as subhumans. Either way, the occupation and ethnic genocide is wrong.
Rabiya Kadeer has a dozen children, she lives in the US and is quite old. This couldn’t have happened in China today, with the forced abortions going on.
And you say I support 9/11? You’re absolutely nuts. However, I support Tibet, East Turkistan, and Mongolian freedom from oppressive China. No doubt about it.

Manchus are a ethnic group in china. do you history check will ya

Sorry, I actually have a real job, not work in a sweatshop making cheap toys living off 2 cents a day.

Han chinese are racist. They are settlers on occupied turkemnistan of the Uighurs.
They live on thier land and discrminate agaisnt them. They were roaming the streets with weapons right in front of the police. This proves the racism and bias against the Ughurs.

I have seen Ms. Ward’s ugly show in China for three days. Each day when I see her on TV I can’t help slaping her face. It’s like telling a story to the Madoff’s victims that what a miserable life his wife lead because her husband was unlawfully jailed for nothing did wrong.

ABC news is so biased against Hans that it spent 85% of the time showing how bad Chinese police treated Uighur life is and spend only less than 10% or no time on Hans victims. Remember, Uighurs mob started this riot, not Hans.

you know, the HuiHui (Uighurs) haave served in ALL chinese armies since the T’ang Dynasty. In fact, some of the main Chinese generals were HuiHui. Well, to me, that means Sinkiang is part of China. Let;s remember, America is only 200 years old, while the T”ang Dynasty was 1200 years AGO.
Another thisg, the CIA has been involved with Tibetan and Uighurs exisles since 1949. Sinkiang (Xinjiang as the Communists call it) is not onlyt part of China, it’s where all thye OIL is. That was developed by the Communists under MAO.
THis is all a NEO-CON rogue CIA action over OIL.
This is how we got into RAQ. If we do this with CHINA, well, it’s WW3.
Let’s be clear on that, you GOP idiots.

To John
First of all, no matter what kind of grievance these Muslim Uglers have, it is not a justification of the brutal killing of civilian Han Chinese. Or you would be able to justify 911.
Terrorist action is Terrorist, action,and it wont change the nature of the event because it is against Chinese.
When you talking these human rights for minorities, you totally ignore the human rights of the Han Chinese, you have no sympathy of the innocent victims and you never condemned the
Violence these Muslim Ugler Cinese.
There are dozens of minority groups in China, some of them take advantage of the minority policy and live better than Han Chinese. Most of us agree the government should do more to help the minorities. However, criminals should be bring to justice. Plus, Muslim Ugler group cannot blame everything on
on Han Chinese. They have to learn how to protest peacefully, present their political view without resort violence without targeting Han Chinese civilians.
One thing I suggest you, John, is to read some wikipedia before you talking about history and land. You have basically have no clue what you are talking. be knowledgeable before you all love rthe reports.
The reports are biased on ABC that it has never reported balanced storty. Always from view of the Ugler peple.

“a pair of Uighur woman began talking to some journalists. They were highly emotional, wailing and crying. What we want here is justice. We don’t have justice and equality for our people.”
1) Yes, Justice, get the fact right! Who kill over hundred of innocent human live in the past week? These Police officers or some Uighur Muslims extremer? Caught on camera, find out yourselves.
2) “equality for our people” yes, anyone whom have visited China before or had lived there for sometime can tell you that Chinese Government had many promotion programs similar as the one we had in US, they provide special funding, they offer class in even far in-land of China in best school to help minority Uighur, Tibetan and other ethnic of Chinese minority to get better education. Besides, In China’s college entrance examination, the ethnic minority will get additional point, Han Chinese’s points must over 560,
Uygur student just need to score 300! so that chance to admit to College for minority ethnic group students will be higher? Better education, better chance of getting the high pay job later! Is that “equality”? I think that is more than EQUALITY the Uygur girl asking for! I am so disappointed reporter without finding the truth, selectively posting the irresponsible bias report! Check for yourself! It does not seem that our media is tell nothing but the TRUTH! Yes, justice, I wish the true extremer whom was behind all the killing be trial by the Law. It is NOT the best interest for Chinese government or the police officers to create this issue. But it is for the extreme Uighur religious group! I wish our media should stop stir up hate and ethnic difference among the Chinese citizens. Not every Han and Uighur are enemy as ABC describe here. All of them are not live in fear! Many had relative killed in the attack! Many could not even see their love one to come home because of the terrorist attack? How come None of the victim’s family member had been on your report? But someone just was free to worship, still alive, enjoy all the privilege, have your full attention. Is that fair? I wonder if you are there not reporting news but just to gather info for objective of political attack of your old “communist China” and to demonize it people? Shame!

Why not just report the victim break down number, instead Charlie said “death toll has risen to 184, one third of those have been Muzilim Uighurs”?
Is this biased or what?

I have been following this topic for days. Almost every piece of news report mentioned that the Uyghurs are not treated as good as Han Chinese in China but I could hardly find any real cases illustrating how they are treated as second class citizens. Some just mentioned Uyghurs are forced to abort their babys. What I learned is that in China, Han Chinese are allowed to have only one child by law but Uyghurs are permitted to have three. I don’t call it a reasonable policy but apparently Han chinese do not have any advantage here. Rabiya Kadeer, Uyghurs activist now live in US, is a mother of 11 children, all were born in China.

b: You have some good observations. Yet, one may disagree with some of your assumption.
China has been changing daily if not hourly. It is not accurate to use a static view or to use an OLD impression to measure this rapid changing land, and so dynamically forward moving country.
“So … is biased it does not compare to the bias of the Chinese govt. and their media”
Up to this point, there is no evident to show that Chinese govt and Chinese media have been bias to any ethnic group. The reason is simple, Good or bad, All are Chinese citizens. It is not wise for any govt to be bias for any group, and Chinese govt knows that too. It is their best interest to United All citizens, not separation, as one harmony nation to move forward to face many other changeling around the world, eg world financial crisis
You are right that if there is no feedback, there is no improvement. Yet, you will be surprise, the fact that China is so open now, it has close link to the rest of the world beyond our imaginations. The Chinese govt has plenty of feedback, I think, from news release section Q/A, by reporters domestic as well as oversea, International firms & companies, etc. Do you know, as we speak, there are over 500 plus news reporters, from 28 countries or place, are reporting on-site. ABC reports can move freely many to place if they don’t stir up more violent, I don’t thing the Chinese govt, Chinese police have anything to hide, or if that is even possible to do so . Do you know the “melanin in food and milk” incident you mention here was exposed to the public by the local news reporter? It seems that local media system in China start to function as watchdog. That is a good thing.
Again, China is still a developing country; there are still many things that is under construction, a lot of room for improvement. Corruption (as your mention, issue not just in mainland China, Mr. Chen in Taiwan, Korea…US, But clean gort is the best wish for all citizen ) is of them , society involvement in decision making process, election in the near future, the list goes on. These are a process that could not be achieve over night, It took the United state a few hundred years before we have a black president, Chinese is moving fast, so wait and see. There will be Two Disney in China soon (HK and Shanghai) Miracle do happen.

ABC news crew should be trained to report without bias. The news is so biased against those innocent lives who were murdered by Uighurs criminals. I only read talks with those criminals or their relatives. Why don’t you guys listen to those husbands whose wives’ throats were slashed by the Uighurs. You don’t have justice and fairness. ABC news is vicious!

The artile is so bias!

john, what your opinion about the formation of the United states?

From what the guy behind the name of “john”,we chinese didnot need to talk with this guy,because he is definitly enemy of chinese,without any sharing opinions.
