Urumqi Unrest

There are currently riots in Urumqi, the western minority city of China.
The name sure doesn't sound so Chinese isn't it? because it is not the Han ethnic group who mostly live there. These "Chinese" have Turkish origin.

This unrest seems pretty major, but is not a top story of CNN, which only contain things that Americans are interested in.

You may read about the details in Time, or read about it in some other news

Frequently there are separatists, unjust arrests, riots, revenges.... there are never ending conflicts. No way Beijing will allow any part of China to separate. Can we live peacefully together?
