Once a Draw, Restive Region in China Suffers After Unrest - NYTimes.com:
'via Blog this' 6Oct2014
This news (and the earlier posts about the Xinjiang violence) makes me glad that I got to see a bit of this region, and Urumqi, in 2013, before things degraded as they have.
Our tour bus was boarded only once by military, on the highway to Urumqi, in Eastern Xinjiang province, but they quickly departed when they saw that we were all American tourists. We did see lots of evidence of military activity, including the construction of new bases out in what appeared to me to be desert.
