<br/><br/> "In the 1990s, the Chinese government blamed a series of bombings and shootings in Xinjiang on groups promoting an independent Uighur homeland. But Beijing has remorselessly repressed advocates of independence or even greater autonomy, using widespread arrests to drive resistance groups deep underground. China also hopes to swamp ethnic discontent in a rising tide of economic activity, abetted by a massive influx of Chinese migrants." (USA TODAY) This article discusses how "to China's rulers, intent on avoiding the national fragmentation that befell the former Soviet Union, maintaining command of mineral-rich Xinjiang is non-negotiable. Among some Uighurs, however, the thirst for greater control over their own lives is equally compelling."
