CIA Determined to Distract and Divide China
"China’s president vows punishment in ethnic clashes; Regional capital calm as police keep close watch" by Ariana Eunjung Cha, Washington Post | July 10, 2009
URUMQI, China - President Hu Jintao of China and other top leaders of the Communist Party vowed yesterday to punish severely those responsible for the bloody, ethnically charged clashes this week in the far western region of Xinjiang.
Hu, in his first public comments about the crisis, said local authorities should “isolate and deal a blow to the small group’’ of those guilty of killing 156 people and injuring more than 1,000 in attacks that pitted the country’s dominant Han Chinese against the Muslim Uighur minority that once used to dominate this area.
“Preserving and maintaining the overall stability of Xinjiang is currently the most urgent task,’’ Hu, the country’s Communist Party chief, and the other eight members of the group’s ruling Politburo said in a statement released by New China News Agency.
The regional capital of Urumqi was calm yesterday for the second consecutive day as police and military troops kept a close eye on residents through patrols on foot, trucks, and armored personnel carriers. Helicopter surveillance continued overhead. Slogans for a propaganda campaign aimed at calming residents could be heard and seen all over the city.
The Chinese have Jewish newspapers just like us?
Loudspeakers blared messages such as “Keep social order’’ and “Maintain public security.’’ Red signs posted on apartment buildings urged the public, “Don’t listen to any rumors.’’ Police trucks were covered in banners that said, “Oppose ethnic separatism and hatred.’’
Nah. We are better at stirring it up for war purposes!
Hu abandoned the Group of Eight summit in Italy on Wednesday to return to China to contend with the crisis. Since then, officials in Xinjiang have said they will seek the death penalty for those responsible for the violence.
Because they were talking about ATTACKING IRAN!!!!
Quite a COINCIDENCE that the Muslims would rise now, huh?
A number of countries have urged China to respect human rights while dealing with the crisis, and Turkey has gone a step further by calling for the UN Security Council to play a role in talking about ways to stop the violence.
As they BOMB KURDS into oblivion!
Qin Gang, Foreign Ministry spokesman, dismissed the issue yesterday, saying the problems in Xinjiang are an internal affair. On Wednesday, 20,000 new security troops blanketed Urumqi as thousands of residents began to flee.
What about those Pakistan refugees, MSM?
The top Communist Party official in Urumqi, Li Zhi, said that order had been restored and that the government will seek the death penalty for the perpetrators of the violence - many of whom, he alleged, are students.
This SO REEKS of U.S. INVOLVEMENT!
The violence began Sunday after a demonstration by ethnic Muslim Uighurs - upset over a stalled investigation into the deaths of two Uighur factory workers - apparently spun out of control, with participants attacking Han Chinese and their businesses.
Witnesses said security troops fired shots at the protesters, while Han Chinese retaliated against Uighurs with household items such as kitchen knives, pipes, and steel bars.
Relations between ethnic minorities and Han Chinese, who make up more than 90 percent of the Chinese population, have long been tense. But until the melee on Sunday, Urumqi had been one of the calmer parts of western China.
