I live in Urumchi in Xinjiang and my work takes me throughout the Province. I work and associate with a lot of Muslims, both Uyghur and Hui Chinese. I've yet to see or hear about any restrictions placed on Ramadan by the authorities. In the 4 years I've been here all the Muslim holidays have been respected. Obviously this will be played up by those with an agenda to drive. As usual they will have killed innocent people from various ethnic groups as well as their own. Absolutely senseless, and anyone who sympathizes with these terrorists just fuels the problem.

Reply to this commentIsrael relaxed the restrictions for those celebrating Ramadan this year and one police person was attacked and critically wounded by a male Palestinian and an Israeli citizen was killed by the same male. Relax restrictions and you get killed.Don't relax them and you get killed. The common denominator is not China or Israel. It's those committing the violence.

Reply to this commentThe Chinese Government need to find out who is paying these extremists - the reason is obvious and doesn't need ID but they have unlimited resources to destabilize whole countries let alone borders. They must be rooted out and dealt with appropriately.

It's seems there a lot of comments from 50 Cent Party members on this forum. China acknowledges the existence of paid online commentators dubbed 50 Cent or 50 Yuan Party. The CCP is waging a war against the Uighur people. Some Uighurs are fighting back. The more the CCP represses the Uighurs, the more resistance they will create. You can't stop those who want liberty by imposing more force. The solution is to stop importing Chinese settlers into Xinjiang & allow the Uighurs genuine self-rule. Otherwise you end up with an endless cycle of violence & repression.
