Xinjiang briefly had independence in 1949, but was quickly absorbed into the PRC. Xinjiang is the largest region in China with a significant  Chinese security presence for  many years. As with Tibet, Han Chinese have been systematically occupying the region & crushing the local culture. Han Chinese now represent more than 40% of the regional population. 

 

If the report is accurate it is very unfortunate ISIS has now managed to establish a presence in the region, which can only lead to death and misery for many innocent Muslims and non Muslims.

I was there for a visit 3 years ago, the paramilitary force is heavily present.  I saw a lot of sad civilian faces, and I feel sorry for some of the non violent Muslims.
