Since we can't discuss this at AGS, I will now also post it here.
BEIJING // Ethnic violence in China’s restive Xinjiang province left at least 140 people dead and more than 800 wounded, state media reported yesterday, which if confirmed marks the bloodiest social unrest in China since the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989.
The death toll jumped dramatically yesterday when state media reported that clashes on Sunday between the minority Muslim Uighurs and Han Chinese in the provincial capital, Urumchi, escalated into riots yesterday.
The state-run CCTV broadcast images of burnt-out buildings and buses, and Uighur rioters trashing police cars, against a background of flames and bloodied victims of the unrest.
