    Measures taken by Beijing such as internet sites blocking, cell phone service stoppage and controlled media access to ground zero are very unwise and suspicious.
    If it is truly what Beijing claims to be, which I am not trying to invalidate, why not let media report it freely? They are the politically weak and it is easy for them to play the victim if all Beijing is trying to do is sweeping it under the rug.

    Terrorists, rioters, justice should and will bring them what they deserve.

    Let's look at this thing one level deeper. Why did this happen in a such violent way? Why did the pressure leading to it mount to such a high level? Where did it come from? Maybe stop for a minute and look at it from their perspective.

    Where do you think all the articles in foreign newspapers come from? The Chinese government does allow foreign reporters to report.

    The Chinese government is censoring its domestic media to avoid further escalation of racial hatred and violence. The Uyghurs are everywhere in China, you don't want them to become targets of local mobs.

    If the terrorists want to make a statement about how they are unhappy about the Chinese government's policy, they should just attack the government and it's executive branches. WTF does an ordinary Han on the street of Urumuqi have to do with the government policies?

    China has allowed every foreign media to the scene and report the way they like.

    But western media will never report facts. They had made their news before going to China.

    These media can be precisely described as CNN, a new word for twisting the facts.

    why not allow Chinese media report?
    because they are Hans, they will shoot real pictures and tell the truth to already angry Hans, who will go mad and China will go down.



    why block internet and cell phone?

    because the riot was started and organized through internet and cell phones. Even without the order of their western masters, the riot and killing is still going on now after 20000 police moved in.

    again, If Bejing can control the city, do whatever it takes or sweep anything under the rug. **** those CNN medias.

    That's precisely the question to ponder upon. Why such a hatred?
    At this point I tend to apologize this riot to the L.A. riot in early 90s, while not equate it to a singular terrorist's attack such as 9/11.

    By and large, western media has its integrity, which finds voices from both sides and reports. Problem occurs when Beijing restrict such reporting, which leads to speculation.

    The most obvious answer: the murderous Uyghurs who committed these crimes are ****ing criminals who have no trace of humanity in them. They are the same as the 9/11 terrorists.

    So the Uyghurs want the United States out of the Middle East as well? And they do this by uprising in their home lands of East Turkestan and killing the Hans? Interesting.

    Conversely, the Hans want freedom and liberty in the Middle East, right? And they are being thwarted by those malicious Uyghurs at every step?

    I see the connection clear as day.

    Wait, there is none.

    both sides? One side is in the jail, the other side is in the heaven. there is no voices. There is only dead silent scene.

    I've heard enough from Uighur. I am still waiting to hear the voices from Hans who make up 20% of the population of this planet.


    How can China restrict CNN, BBC, Reuters? by doing a LeBron?

    Anyone catch the picture of that crippled older Uyghur woman standing up to the armed riot police? Powerful, powerful stuff. Eerily similar to that infamous Tienanmen picture of the guy standing in front of the tank. There is a video here with an interview with that woman.

    It seems like brave women everywhere are increasingly becoming the face of courage against unspeakable government oppression and violence against its own people, be it in Iran or China.

    Standing up to the police? Is that brave? no wonder they have no respect to the lives and the laws. The anti-China thing is to the level of Hitler for some freaks. Here is another brave piece you might want to enjoy:

    The common link is killing innocent civilians to achieve political gains. Is this really that difficult to see?

    This woman had nothing to do with any of that. She was not armed, she did not throw anything at anyone, she just wanted the government to tell her where they are holding her family. She is a poor crippled woman with nowhere to turn, and all she wanted was an answer and perhaps assurances her family are Ok. It puts a human face to these riots, regardless of who you are blaming for it. I am sure there is a Han mother who was also asking about her child at some point, this woman just happened to be there and a memorable picture was taken, and the fact that she is a cripple naturally will garner interest and some level of sympathy with her.

    how exactly are these pictures powerful? An old woman crying in front of a bunch police officers who did nothing to harm her. The mass majority of Chinese people, including police officers, do not apply physical forces to subdue old people who are not threatening anyone.

    On the other hand, check the photos of the victims murdered by the rioting Uyghurs, they didn't seem to have a problem slitting the throats of Han children and seniors ...

    That is a pretty lousy link because it is too general. A domestic race riot is not the same as an international calculated attack.
