      So true. If I went back to Xinjiang to see my old uighur friends today I'd put them at serious risk, if they had not already been detained. Back in the 90s their culture was already being destroyed by the CCP. I saw it daily in Kashgar and Urumqi.

      @@Austine1452 I assume you are Han Chinese. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Did you know that previous Chinese dynasties used to expel criminals from "Chinese land" by banishing them to "Dzungaria " as you call it? Where the great wall ends, China once ended. Also, mummies dated to 1, 800 BC that look like uighurs, not Chinese, were found in this region. Your claims of Dzungaria belonging to the PRC are false, historically inaccurate, and ideologically based. The PRC has no historical claim in Xinjiang. They only want the oil , gas, gold, minerals and other riches the area has to offer.
