“China knife attack: Eight dead in Xinjiang region,” BBC, February 15, 2017:
Eight people are dead after a knife attack in China’s restive Xinjiang region.
Three assailants killed five people and injured 10 others before they were shot dead by police on Tuesday in Pishan county, local officials said.
No motive was given, but the government often blames Muslim separatists for such attacks.
Xinjiang, an autonomous region, is home to China’s Uighur ethnic minority, which is predominantly Muslim.
The region has suffered years of unrest.
Rights groups say the violence is due to the tight controls by the government on the religion and culture of Uighurs. The government denies any repression.
A statement posted on the local government website called the attackers “thugs”. It said police were on the scene within minutes….
Dilxat Raxit, of the exiled World Uyghur Congress, told the Agence France-Presse news agency that six people had been arrested, including two young Uighurs who shared information about the incident.

Just A Concerned Citizen says
I suppose it’s nice to at least see that there *are* incidents when the BBC euphemism “Asian” simply wouldn’t suffice.
efoc says
Haha, true. I’m surprised they didn’t use one of their other euphemisms – “youths”.
SK says
“Asian” refers to “South Asian”, think India, Pakistan, Bangladesh.

Indeed, the other day on here, the article was, it’s just so hard for Muslims right now. Those meddling infidels interrupting world domination!!
Charli Main says
These vermin are brainwashed almost from birth, that if they kill infidels, they get a guaranteed ticket to Allah’s whorehouse in the sky.
Its this mindset that will ensures that there will never be any shortage of Muslim lunatics killing people.
Dr John says
My wife is Chinese and the West only know less than half the problems the PRC has with Muslims. However, China knows how to deal with them. They may get lucky and kill the perpetrators but they will ensure retribution by locking up hundreds of others to make an example of these animals. They also encourage the Han Chinese( (the majority race) to emigrate to these dissident regions and help them resettle and start businesses. The idea is that one day the Muslims will be outnumbered in their own region. It is a pity it is the other way round in the USA and Europe!!!
umbra says
The Han majority ensures that they will always remain the majority in China. In addition, if someone hits them with a stick, they return with sledge hammers.
Infidels of the world unite says
Nope. The government’s attitude towards “ethnic minorities” makes many Han people mad, because they’re often given privileges. For example, Hui ethnicity (almost all muslims) are often “exempt” from one-child policy. They can have 10+ kids and none go to school (elementary school and middle school is mandatory basic education in China) because whenever muslims feel they’re being mistreated (this can be anything from a thief gets caught by the police, a worker gets fired because he’s doing a lousy job, a Han person sells similar food near their restaurant, someone eats pork in front of them, etc.) hundreds of muslims gather with knives and other cold weapons. Local officials don’t want to make things messier.
umbra says
It is true that ethnic minorities are given special perks and exemptions. However, these have limits. While the one child policy applies to the Han majority, there were still limitations for minority ethnics groups (two or three children) officially and in practice. There were no 10 children ROP families (from the same set of parents). This was also economically unaffordable.
While government officials – as a practice – do bend over for minorities, they expect cooperation in return, namely yielding to CPC rule. If any of these ethnics play up, the CPC crackdowns, especially when they are violent or when they threaten CPC authority.
The lack of educational advancement is to the detriment of those who chose not to educate themselves. Consistently, the top (STEM) universities in China take in almost entirely Han students. This is because the Han people are much more competitive, in the absence of affirmative action for their population group. In the long run, the educated are the ones who are best suited to get ahead in China.
The Han are in control in China and planning to do so in perpetuity. At this very moment, the CPC is continuously implanting ethnic Han into Tibet and xinjiang that would eventually lead to Han majority in these two provinces. 150 years ago, the northeast province (manchuria) had a majority Manchu population, today it is about 10% manchu while the rest are almost entirely Han.
One last thing to bear in mind, almost all (if not all) highly sensitive CPC positions are occupied by ethnic Han: the politburo standing committee members, top CMC generals, top commiserate officers, commander of 2nd artillery corps (SRF), top state security official, etc.
Mazo says
Umbra, stop spreading bullshit.
“Manchuria” (Jilin and Heilongjiang) is majority Han, because the Manchus themselves mostly vacated their homeland in Jilin and Heilongjiang and moved south to Beijing. Manchus largely abandoned their homeland in 1644 and resettled in Beijing and other Han areas like Liaoning as they moved south of the Great Wall. There are millions of Manchus today living in Hebei, Beijing and Liaoning, their families have been there for over three centuries and most of them never bothered to return to their “homeland” in Jilin or Heilongjiang.
Han dissidents and criminals were frequently exiled to Heilongjiang by the Qing government and it became filled with Han bandits. then in the 19th century, the Qing Manchu Emperor opened up the entire Jilin and Heilongjiang to Han civilian settlement from south of the Great Wall, in order to fill Jilin and Heilongjiang with Qing subjects to stop the Russians from annexing the area. By the late 19th century, Heilongjiang and Jilin were both Han majority. During the Qing dynasty.
Han people did not engineer the flood into Jilin and Heilongjiang as part of a plan against Manchus to turn them into a minority. Manchus did that themselves- they abandoned their homeland in large numbers and then they flooded the area with Han.
The TAR (Tibet Autonomous Region) is 93% Tibetan. Tibetans make up the majority of the population in Tibet. They aren’t being demographically flooded.
Uighurs make up over 90% of their land in the Tarim Basin in Southern Xinjiang. They aren’t being flooded either.
Most Han in Xinjiang live in Dzungaria in Northern Xinjiang. Dzungaria’s traditional native inhabitants are Oirat Buddhists, the Dzungars and Torghuts. Then name of the city Urumqi is derived from the Oirat language. Han and Hui people were the first to enter Urumqi after the fall of the Dzungar Oirats and are the majority population there. All the old mosques in Urumqi from the Qing dynasty are Hui Mosques
Meanwhile the Uighurs from the Tarim Basin are migrating to other areas like Dzungaria. The Communist government builds new neighborhoods, housing areas, and specifically Uighur style Mosques in Urumqi and other Dzungarian areas for Uighur migrants coming in from the Tarim Basin.
The one child policy was one child for Han people in urban areas, two child policy for Han people in rural areas, two child for minorities in urban areas, four child for minorities in rural areas. But sometimes nobody cares and the policy is not enforced in rural areas. Some Uighurs have over four children in the Tarim Basin because nobody is giving a shit.
Universities have affirmative action for minorities. Minzu university is for minorities and the entrance exam also has affirmative action.
You are spreading tons of crap.
There are places where actual demographic flooding is taking place. Filipino Christians were stealing land in Mindanao from Lumad animists and Moro Muslims and committing mass slaughter against them. But fortunately the new Philippine President Duterte is pro-minority, pro-Moro since he is part Moro himself and promised to rectify the policies of his predecessors. Duterte is anti America-imperialism and loudly criticized America for war crimes against Moro Muslims and Duterte has links to Moro leaders.
And then there is Champa, where Vietnamese stole the entire area from Cham Hindus and Cham Muslims and flooded them with tens of millions of Vietnamese settlers, and then did the same in the Central Highlands to the Montagnards and the same in the Mekong Delta to the Khmer Krom.
And then there is Australia, Canada, and the USA, all consisting of lands where Native peoples were demographically crushed and flooded by European settlers.

Notice that the appalling Mazo has no criticism for his coreligionists slaughtering Infidels. And why would he?
Kepha says
Ages ago, I watched _Roots_ with a Taiwanese roommate when I was doing my first teaching stint in Taiwan. My friend, who was a sort of dissident liberal against the then-martial law Guomindang regime in Taiwan, and thought that America was the epitome of justice and fair play, was shocked, “How can you Americans live with what you did to the Black people?” He asked. I replied, “Well, how can you guys live with what you did to the Mountain People?” (my friend was Hakka). He replied. “Well, that was for the sake of Chinese civilization.”
Back in the 19th century Qing dynasty days, according to the author Huang Rongluo, when the Mountaineers came hunting Hakka heads and the Hakka settlers (originally from eastern Guangdong) managed to kill one of the raiders, the dead Mountaineer would end up sliced, diced, and eaten, and the tough soles of his feet turned into medicine (from 读台悲歌). I’m not being anti-Hakka; for I married into that tribe and even learned some of their dialect. I understand in parts of rural southern China, where everyone was related to everyone else and would cover each others’ backs, a similar nasty vengeance met a few public health officers who got too zealous about enforcing the one child policy.
But in any case, it seems that the Han still take their mission civilizatrice seriously.

Chinese in China generally distrust non-Chinese. It is a cultural trait. The the more different a person looks or acts, the more distrust there is.
umbra says
Why yes. Apart for the Indian civilization (sub-continental civilization group), no other “developed” civilization has exist continuously since before 1AD. Civilization in the Americas collapsed during the colonial era. Many African civilizations were erased by the ROP, particularly from the Mediterranean to the congos. This is also true for the mid-east, Central Asia, parts of the subcontinent and much of Southeast Asia. European civilizations that exists today are comparatively young. They are considered children of the Roman civilization, but more likely descends of the Roman and children of the Renaissance.
Mazo says
Aboriginals in Taiwan are divided into two main categories, Plains and Mountains, and numerous ethnicities and subtribes.
When the Spanish and Dutch landed, they played divided and rule between different Plains Aboriginal groups. The Dutch launched ethnic cleansing and genocide expeditions against certain Plains Aboriginal tribes while using other Plains Aboriginals as military allies.
Koxinga allied the factions of the Plains Aboriginal tribes around Zeelandia fort when fighting against the Dutch. After Koxinga expelled the Dutch, Koxinga and his Plains Aboriginal allies fought against the separate Dadu Aboriginal federation. Thousands of people were killed. The Plains Aboriginals all came under Qing rule.
Mountain Aboriginals were not subjected by these people. The Mountain Aboriginals fought against outsiders and they massacred an American ship crew of the Rover in 1867 in retaliation for German shelling of their villages, and defeated invading American Marines. They fought against westerners and the Japanese when they invaded Taiwan.
Aboriginals and Hakkas both participated in the Qing military in defeating the French invasion of Taiwan of 1884 and both participated in revolts against Japanese rule. Qing officers received complaints by British consular officials over what the Hakkas were doing with French corpses after defeating the French at Tamsui.

More off-topic sand-throwing. The point here is that Muslims are, as always, slaughtering Infidels.
Mazo says
I can verify that your post is full of shit.
Tibetans are the majority in the TAR (Tibet Autonomous Region). They are 93% of the population.
Uighurs are the majority in the Tarim Basin. They are over 90% of the population
Dzungaria is where all the Han people in Xinjiang are moving to. Dzungaria is not a Uighur area, its traditional natives are the Oirat Buddhists, the Dzungars and Torghuts.
Uighurs are the majority in the Tarim Basin and in fact several thousand Uighur migrants stream towards other areas of China like Dzungaria to work and settle down. The government builds new Mosques in Dzungaria and neighborhoods for Uighur migrants. Urumqi is a traditional Oirat city but new Uighur Mosques get built for new Uighurs who keep streaming in from the Tarim Basin.

They don’t have a problem with Hui people, who are Sinitic in language and general culture, although Muslim in religion (unlike the Turkic Uighurs). In Taiwan, Chinese communities in Thailand’s Golden Triangle, and where the authorities aren’t over-zealous about official “atheism” in the Mainland, Hui practice of Islam meets few problems.

I’ve lived in China and I know they don’t mess around with the Uighurs. (MUSLIMS) They tolerate them until someone steps out of line like this guy. Then they take them out. No political correctness there.
We should take a leaf out of their book. At least when it comes to this.
Kepha says
There’s a lot I like about China and the Chinese. I consider being able to read Lao Zi, Kong Zi, and the Tang poets in the original an accomplishment, and my many years in Taiwan, two in Guangzhou, and long marriage to a Chinese lady have perhaps partly Sinified me. But I don’t admire the Chinese regime and how it treats so many more people besides the Uighurs.
Back when I was US vice consul in Guangzhou, the Chinese government also got pretty nasty to unregistered Christian groups whenever more 18-year-olds applied for baptism than for Communist Party membership (infant baptism is illegal in Mainland China: it’s seen as “forcing someone to believe in religion” when only Marxist-Leninists are allowed to force their views on anyone). Further, in those days right after the collapse of the Soviet Bloc, the Chinese Communists were cr–ping their drawers over even a handful of folks in Kaifeng trying to re-connect with their Jewish heritage and a few old Jewish-origin foreign Communists going “frum” in their old age (What happened to Soviet Big Brother after THOSE people started getting uppity?).
I suppose I “get it” about Fa Lun Gong. For close to a millennium, people claiming to be the Maitreya Buddha meant a rebellion was in the offing; and I believe in Jesus Christ rather than the Maitreya. But I suppose part of me will always be a little bit sympathetic to China’s dissidents.
While I have scant sympathy for Islam anywhere, I am no admirer of the Chinese Communist regime. It is one of the few left for whom the odious Josep Stalin is a hero; and I don’t believe for a minute that they’re truly dismayed by North Korean saber-rattling. They’ll get after anyone who suggests political pluralism, but it’s OK to publish racial nationalist garbage that sees China’s destiny as reuniting all the former patrimony of the “Yellow” race (including the Americas, originally settled by fraternal peoples from Siberia). I also remember their screaming propaganda about American imperialism and Mao’s demand, voiced to Edgar Snow, that Americans leave their continent to the Indians. Further, they threw mud at our anti-black racism, while they themselves generally believed that Africans were barely out of the trees.
Besides, it was the screwy Stalinists like Mao who told the Uighur that all of Xinjiang was their “autonomous” region. I guess Uncle Kepha’s just having an attack of Schadenfreude.
Mazo says

This stuff doesn’t appear in government publications. There are tons of private citizens writing things and it gets published as long as its non political.
The 1990s was the same time that ultranationalist Uyghurs like Turghun Almas wrote his giant turd of a work “Uyghurlar”, and claimed that Uyghurs founded world civilizations and invented the gunpowder, compass, paper and were a 6,000 year old civilization from which all other world civilizations stemmed from. And it got published in Xinjiang, along with other Uyghur ultranationalist tracts boasting about how Uyghur civilization is the oldest on earth and most superior to all others. You only read Mandarin and not Uyghur so you did not see what Uighurs were able to write, and get approved for publishing by the authorities during that time. They only got cracked down again after they started violence and not for publishing.
And anyone who is familiar with Protestant missions in Xinjiang would have noticed that Oirats were the natives of Dzungaria.
The Swedish Protestant mission only preached to Turki Muslims (“Uighurs)”, staying in the Tarim Basin in cities like Yarkand. They learned the Turki language and translated the Bible into Turki. They did not go up to Dzungaria.
The two British missionaries George W. Hunter and Percy C. Mather were stationed in Dzungaria in the city of Urumqi.
George W. Hunter aimed his activities at Turki Muslims and traveled down to the Tarim Basin to proselytize to them. He translated the Bible into Turki too and learned the language while writing sketches on it.
Percy C. Mather stayed in Urumqi and the outskirts of Urumqi, and directed his proselytization towards Oirat Buddhists like the Dzungar and Torghut descendants who were living around Urumqi. Mather learned the Oirat language and wrote a grammar on it while trying to translate parts of the Bible and preach to the Oirats. Mather stayed in Dzungaria, did not go into the Tarim Basin, and did not bother learning the Turkic language or try to proselytize to Turki Muslims. Mather only wanted to preach towards the Oirat natives in Dzungaria.
And they were all unsuccessful. In 1933 the Bughra brothers and Alptekin tortured and massacred all of the Turki “Uighur” converts in Yarkand and Khotan who were converted by the Swedes. They beat the Swedes up and kicked them out of the country. Only British consular intervention stopped the Swedes from getting killed by the Bughras. George Hunter as far as I know had no bigger impact than them.
The Communist government implemented a script reform for the Arabic script used to write Turki (Uighur). The old style Turki Arabic script did not represent Turkic vowels properly, so new letters were added to the Turki Arabic script (Uyghur Arabic Alphabet). So all the old Bibles translated by the Swedes and Hunter became useless piles of driftwood overnight. A “Uighur” from Kashgar today, cannot read the Swedish translated Bibles due to its lack of vowels. He would be used to seeing vowel signs in the modern reformed script. New missionaries had to translated the entire Bible over again into “Uighur” with the reformed script.
Mather was also a failure. Don’t know about any Oirat Protestant Church in Dzungaria. Most Oirats in Dzungaria and Urumqi today, are Lamaist Buddhists or secular atheist.
There are also Oirats living in Kalmykia in Russia. Some Protestant missionaries translated
Bibles for them too in their traditional script, but the Soviet Union forced them to change to Cyrillic so all their Bibles became useless. Now missionaries had to redo the translation.

End of story.

The police arrived in minutes and shot the 3 scuz bags dead. Too late for 8 more people. The Chinese should also bull dose their homes and everyone else’s homes affiliated with them. Deport them to country of origin whether or not they are citizens of China. Ask the familes of the fallen what they’d like done with the bodies of scuz bags. Zero tolerance.

Chinese occupied East Turkistan is not a part of distant China in East Asia. There is an independence movement going on in East Turkistan and if the cunning, sly and shrewd Regime in China is able to deceive the international community and convince them that the independence movement is inspired by the Tahliban and Al -Aaeda, then the Chinese can obtain a carte blanche and summarily suppress and exterminate the legitimate independence movement with impunity without having to adhere to principles of rule of law or to any protocol whatsoever under the façade of alleged war against Islamic terror without being questioned or answerable to the International Community about their commission of the grave crimes of genocide on the East Turkistanis or the violation of their human rights! In reality the movement for the independence of East Turkistan is no more a manifestation of Islamic terror than the movement for the independence of Tibet is a manifestation of Buddhist terrorism!

So “Muslim murders eight in knife attack in Xinjiang” is not really a terrorist attack then, is that what you are saying. I guess any behaviour by a muslim can be justified that way. Stabbing Israeli babies in their beds is also OK by you?
Buddhists just don’t do this crap, and pretty rare a Hindu does it either, only one faith seems to think this method of “struggle” (aka Jihad) is ok.
