#4 A friend of mine went to this area several years back, and it resembles nothing like what we think of as China. The people do resemble the citizens of the "istans" a LOT more than Chinese. And, even though it's majority Muslim, he was more scared of the Chinese *police* than the locals.

#5 Sad to say it but the Chinese plan of ethnic cleansing by getting Han into Tibet and East Turkestan is a good one, if the Chinese government lasts long enough to see it through.

If the ChiCom government falls we'll get Yugoslavia like ethnic cleansing in both areas.

#8 Yeah, they probably aren't worth feeling too sorry for. If we bent over in front of them they'd be happy to stick it in and break it off in us.
