The Uighurs see themselves as a minority facing cultural, religious and economic discrimination. When Xinjiang was incorporated into the People's Republic of China in 1949, they comprised roughly 80 percent of the region's population. Controlled migration to Xinjiang of Han Chinese has reduced this share to 45 percent, and it is mainly these migrants who benefit from the economic boom in the region, which has plentiful supplies of oil, gas and coal.

This is the key problem for political instability. China is having the inequality problem worse than any other countries....
- gonmf 8y agoChina is also populous and oppressive enough that they can outlast the Uighurs in the long run, so there is little hope on this matter.
- techVentureStar 8y agoYeah China should evaporate anytime, since 1949. Wonder when it will actually happen. Inequality happens everywhere even in America. For instance trump vs his supporters.
