#3 Wow, how frightening. And only two provinces over. I can't imagine 18 police officers dying.

I agree with the 'demand compensation' part. Any traffic accident of any kind in China, no matter how small, very quickly attracts a crowd of gawkers, who levy judgement on who should pay whom. No surprise the conflict started over that.

#4 Man, 148 people killed! Obviously there is some simmering unrest there in the province. Wonder if the main force in this riot is muslim unrest and seething.

#5 Yea muslims are good at the seething thing. They are about to find out they only thought they knew about the represive central government.

#8 gromky: Wow, how frightening. And only two provinces over. I can't imagine 18 police officers dying.

Ironically, Hui military units were some of the staunchest defenders of the Qing dynasty government. They were known for being fierce fighters, and faced off against Western troops during various military clashes in China. I suspect that Hui-only military units have now been disbanded, but their fighting spirit appears undimmed. The Chinese have also been sending hordes of settlers into traditionally Hui areas, perhaps stirring up resentments throughout the land. Since the 90% Han Communist government owns all the land in the Chinese empire, it has seen fit to provide land grants to Han settlers in Hui (and other colonial) territory. What the Hans are encountering occasionally is a toned-down equivalent of the Indian Wars.* (In Chinese, Islam is termed "hui jiao" or the religion of the Hui).

* Cue to the theme song for "How the West was Won".

#13 It seems the religion of Islam has "pissed off at the world" built into it. You look at the unrest in the world and who is at the bottom of most of it? Makes me proud to be an infidel!!!
