Strange the media is ignoring the racial overtones of this. The peoples of this region are primarily a mixed race of original whites (probably Persian), Turks and Asiatic peoples. That’s why you get children born there with red hair and blue eyes occasionally.
The Han Chinese want a Han China. For years they even denied that the burial mounds of ancient days in the western portions of China were not constructed by Chinese but finally had to grudgingly admit it when the munnies were shown to have red hair and were generally over six feet tall and the paintings depicted tall, red headed people.
The Chinese pay Han Chinese males to move there and try to marry non-Han peoples there and in Tibet to racially exterminate the original peoples. Again, it is strange how the American media ignores this.
In Tibet, the governemnt encourages entire families to move to marginalize the population. My cousin and her husband (from Shanghai) informed me last night at dinner the government has treated ethnic minorities pretty badly despite all the “happy propaganda about one united country” since the founding of the PRC. Although Tibetans are highlighted because of support from celebrities, the minorities in the west of China are treated much worse. It should be no surprise why they were getting terrorist training.
No wonder the Uighurs in Gitmo thought that place was pretty nice. Compared to treatment by the Communists, their treatment at the hands of the Americans was downright royal.
My friends at MARSOC (Special Operations Command, US Marine Forces) have found tribal loyalty more important in Afghanistan than almost everything including religion since many tribes have a looser intrepretation of the Koran than in Iraq; a tradition of weak central government, illiteracy and ignorance probably help.
