Hrmmm. Only one news outlet has picked up this story at all... The Peninsula of Qatar (here). And AFP only released the original short article, with no follow-up. Strange.

Stop those racist before they strike. I have seen racist of many kind, most racist are good for nothing, don't work to earn a living, mostly supported by rich ignorant parent, day dreaming most of the time.
People who work for an honest living have no time to dwell in hatred against strangers.
There are day dreamer even in the day of Nazi Germany, and we get the world war because of it.

I agree. Stop the racist pig PSB before they can act or react. Attack and burn more police stations and army posts as well.

Burn China burn!

exciting news！
Seize the opportunity to properly train and improve the PLA's anti-terrorism combat capability.

These terrorist activities only make me feel exciting, not afraid.

this story is bull shit, if you were actually were on the ground, maybe i would believe it, please stop spreading rumors. you are thousands of miles away from xinjiang, so stop acting like you are some spokesman or expert for what goes down there.

@cripe: Let's be honest. Even when I was in Xinjiang, it's not like I was observing everything that went on there first hand. This is a website mostly about Xinjiang, so what's your point?

@dyn

seeing yuu are so brave and yearning for the front line. could yu post yr address here so a few of the boys can come pay yu a visit. Or the local PSB office yu work for would also do.

training all around. Be good.

This story was in Radio Free Asia, which mentions that its source was also WUC:

I wonder what sparked the protest, or the cause for the underlying tension in Sangong. Dyn, I doubt it is organised terrorism. More than likely local unrest.

Keep the news coming, founded or unfounded. It is always interesting to read about what is going on in Xinjiang.

Do you know the local name for the town? (Sangong sounds Chinese to me).

@James

Stop twisting things, take yr hand off ya penis, and give us yr hyome adress so we can send a few of the boys around.

=============================
you send terrorists to ...?
you?
be careful!
If you were in China now, what you have said is a good clue to nation security police.
however
I do not think you are as cool as what you render.
so, set your heart at rest.

i have a friend who lives in xinjiang, and he says like all the crap that comes out of this blogs, its just another rumor. someone said radio free asia reported this so it must be true, and to that idiot i say, radio free asia is a propaganda network that puts chinese broadcasting to shame.

i only wish i had a larger, you know.

to add something, you said whats my point? my point is this blog is so wrong about what its really like in xinjiang. both chinese and uyghur, (and only a few uyghurs are the way you, this blog, and commenters portray them) would say this is a sad attempt by someone who doesn't know shit about a place to act like an expert on it.

try reading blogs about xinjiang from people who were actually born there and have lived their most of their lives. id give you guys the link but im not sure any of the white flamers here are capable of reading hanzi.

i've been to xinijang many times, i have friends who live there, i have colleagues who are from both the uighur and hui minority and they think this blog is full of arrogant western assumptions and yak shit.

imagine some Chinese migrant worker from Anhui province did a construction job in new jersey, learned a few words, heard some funny music, ate some food, and then starting saying

"America is like this, and this, and starting telling other americans, this is how it is, this is how it should be, this is how you should treat black people, hispanics, this is how you should interpret your history. come i have lived here a few years and took lots of good pictures, im an expert on this place."

you should change this blog to

"white man's view/guess/incorrect assumptions, about a place in which white people totally ignorant about."

@ dyn

oh dyn, sorry, sorry im so afrtraiud now, oh, oh i must be careful, ohy oh im terrified...oh terrified

yu send the chinese terrorist to get me

im gonna tell america

yu are terrorizing me

im scared dyn

stop it

yu so scary big fella

its yu who should watch out xiao Dyn.

@cripes.

Cripes, cripes. Yu know sweet f all . its obvious. why project yrself and yr ill founded ignorance onto others- after all - yu are just relying on the hearsay of "a friend" man- give us a break from this rubbish- cripes- yu bloody, dare i say it, know it all.

and BTW @ Cripes

oif yu know so muchg then tell all the white trash out there whyat 'its really like" in Xinjiang. I bet we get a potted Chinese colonialist view. Come on - tell us - we await the truth with baited breath- the truth of what Xinjiang is 'really ' like- the great paradise of equality and comradeship - come on tell us

Good to see some old loyal commenters' moral unaffected by the quake. Rock on,

The visitor named dyn always post some absurd words here.

I doubt that whether dyn consider uyghurs as your country-fellow.

As I say, this action can totally be something of “internal-people-conflict”. AND the definition of "terrorist" would possibly push uyghurs all to the opposite place against China and Han-Chinese.

To dyn: Can you just think of it in an smarter way before your posting?

@ miloservic

great thanks for putting this paranoid, murderous freak and hater of China's minorities in his place. There may be hope for China yet.

@ Gao
the truth never dies despite any natural disaster- they are terrible events which should evoke compassaion from any human who is truly human - yet the oppression continues - peopel are murdered and tortured and shot dead by your governent on a daily basis.

so people will still speak out of course and with respect for the Suffering in Sichuan and Gansu and elsewhere as well. So why dont yu just go back to bed Gao and sleep off your inferiority complex. No-one is picking on China or its earthquake victims.

Poor Michael, now the bots who spam your blog know how to submit the security number...
Would it be bad to erase some of the reactions? This brilliant blog could become another warplace, where language rapists show their love of the superior nation while improving their english skills. yuck.

This is all fine except many of the people here who post do not have that experience within Xinjiang but have spent many years there doing it hard, for life despite the propaganda is still tough there, the cities are filthy and the Han ultra- racist. Many westerners who go there are also trained academics, they know what they are looking for and have a sharp eye. They are not fuckwits like yu want to paint them to be.

What yu write, it has been my observance, are the attitudes of know it all Han students who go to America for 1 or 2 semesters then get on blogs like this one spouting nonsense and rubbish using racist terms such as 'red indians' 'hispanics' and 'blacks' in relation to American race relations and when whenever any one says anything true (negative) about the failed minority policies of the CCP in western China. Jun, yu are another one of them, go get deprogrammed, then go shit in your own nest first.

Han racism is on the nose.

to all the anti chinese racists in here, who are in china. i hope all your visas expire. ahha, i bet a lot of you are having some visa problems right now huh? good

hope all of you, who hate china and want to dismember china, get kicked out.

no visas for terrorists sympathizers!

that means you michael

It is said the "rocks and petrol bombs" are to "protest a pre-Olympic crackdown". But when did the crackdown happen? Why it was not reported? And, now, when a "rebellion" happened, an organization in Germany immediately knows it and reports it.

My understanding is the organization plotted a riot, and make up a "pre-crackdown" as excuse.

People from Xianjang and Tibet should cooperate and work together to over throw Chinese occupation.

@pema (a pussy who posts far away from china)

haha pussy, a bunch of dirty and ignorant goat and sheep herders will never defeat the PLA.

go on try your best, we'll crush you. and if other countries want to get involve, we will never be afraid.

death to the nazi westerners who wish for china's destruction!

Thank the ever vigilant J for the concern of my a bit lack of sleep. Not for your truth, seriously. Judging from the number of posts James is truly energetic or professional or simply enjoying a lot of free time. In any case it is fulfilling to learn some Chinese and start bombarding .cn bulletin boards, get some hardcore logic training there and level up somewhat?

@Gao

THANKS. what yu write sounds encouraging but basically i cant understand A word of what yu mean. Its all gooobledee gook, meaningless and high falutin sounding but what are yu saying?

For your information I work full-time. I rattle this stuff off in a 20 minute session each day. Typing maniacally. Couldnt spend all day dealing with yu fascists - lifes too beautiful for that. Wouldnt want to spoil my day or taint it with the thoughts of darkness which fill yours and the likes of cripes and dyn's minds. They'll get theis. Yu know the saying: "Live by the sword, Die by the sword."? Karma is always exact. long time krma coming now to China: kill too many Uyghur and Tibetans. Cripes' 'goat herders'. What contempt what foul spirited evil from a non - human soul. Go to hell the lot of yu. Love James

@Pema

re the fotos on your name link. Ive seen them before. They are nasty. CCP murders in Aba. Such fotos make one sick; but animals like cripes and dyn get excited by teh sight of blood, especially thyat of the innocent minorities murdered by their security forces. Perhaps they shouldnt be encouragfed. By the Way what is the official death toll now of Tibetans kiled in the Aba massacre? Waht figures do the government release?

Well, I meant it is quite rare to witness stimulating posts from internationals on Chinese sites, while numbers of Chinese nationals make them heard of on English sites. It is interesting if freqent posters like J. can contribute to that. For those a few foreign people happen to be in China or kind of connected to the 1.x billion population, the Chinese world is much more real and integral than some internet whiners (with broken eng. and unpronounciable names) and gradually they are led to reflect on the taken-for-granted ideas that acquired from home cultures. The same happens to Chinese people that ventured to foreign lands.

Why do Chinese youth jump on negative voice so quickly and attack criticism on sight? Why even the more sophiscated do not seem to apprehend either? I don't expect people to share my view but there is no trust between the two shores of the pacific. "Yeah. they talk much but I see nothing done, so it is pure hypocrisy". FYI the Chinese value a hypocrite lower than a 'straight bad guy'.

Language barrier is sad. Language has culture built within and when people use the same word they could use different meaning, or the same concept but focus on divergent sides. I saw some humorous Chinese posts translated into something unbelievably loathsome but alas the translation looks fine, literally.

Everyone has sterotypes. "Humans don't see the air and fish don't see the water" However we do see water and the fish sight bubbles easily. Getting verbal on different minds is less than constructive and it is often an endless sport. Bushing is fun b/c it cann't be used without responsibility everywhere. So why not the easy targets? and people love sports.

A way out? Not before physicists give a Nobel prize to Pope Benedict for his invaluable work of promoting the Genesis theory. So, revel!

It's refreshing to see that reactionary, rude, rednecked us-vs.-them-ism is so international in scope.

I wonder if China media has its version of Red State Update?

All I know is the region is magnificent.

I go now to cool my tootsies in the local karez...
