    "..normal for us might not be what the locals want normal to be.." how brained washed are you guys? i can't imagine you said this. people in your society think like that?? like other human beings outside of your society are aliens or something. You don't need language, you don't need extra information, and you don't need to think too deep. You just need to open your eyes and feel it. Does it look suppressed? Is people in fear like mentioned? It's just common sense.

    I am with Uyghur people leaving Uyghurstan and let Chinese immigrants stay there.. Uyghur people should go either to Kazakhstan or Uzbekistan if Uyghur people feel their life, dignity, rights and freedoms are violated because Kazakh and Uzbek have some similarities to the Uyghurs and they were part of the Karakhanid Empire, which was founded in 840 AD It was consisted of Uyghurstan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan and lasted for 372 years that mean they lived together for nearly 400 years. and most of Uyghur and Uzbek were also Buddhists before they adapt to Islam and Kazakh people down the Syr Darya river were also influenced as well and Kazakh in the north the Syr Darya river were influenced by Tengri... let this stupid Uyghur communist puppet governor of Uyghurstan region govern Chinese immigrant people there

    I have been watching the video for 10 minutes and I only saw Chinese immigrants and I did not see any Uyghur people but when i finished the video to the end only i saw old local people and only 3 shops run by local people.. first let me make this clear Uyghur people have no problem with Chinese people in general and Uyghur people think Chinese people are some of nicest people.... The strange thing is that the China government says that it is developing the Uighurstan region so that Uyghur people benefit and creating jobs for Uyghur people, but the people running the shops and everything are Chinese immigrants. This means that this China Communist government whose goal was not to develop the region for Uyghur people to benefit but rather to bring these Chinese immigrants to Uighurstan region and even these Chinese immigrants selling Uyghur heritage things... the real question is what is this fool communist Uyghur governor of Uyghurstan region job and doing? this stupid Uyghur communist governor of Uyghurstan region must be held accountable because he does not serve Uyghur people but he is only a puppet for China communist party and government.. btw this fool Uyghur communist governor of Uyghurstan region does not represent Uyghur people because Uyghur people did not elect him

You could actually experience genuine Uyghur life and culture there ten years ago, but these days everything fake: fake street facade to cater to the Chinese tourists who have stereotypical impressions of the region and people, fake shows, fake Uyghurs etc. A bizarre world.

We have nothing in common with you Chinese for a very good reason: we have separate history and land until you invaded and colonized my homeland in 1949. Like in other places, colonialism will eventually end in my homeland too. Just a matter of time. China is an evil dictatorship with an insecure leader and bad mannered people with low or no moral standards. They like fake stuff
