| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The ethnic violence that killed at least 197 people in Urumqi, capital of China's Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region (XUAR),
in early July is a stark reminder of the centrifugal forces pulling at China's centre.While China's overwhelming security forces were able to end the violence, the unrest highlighted the widespread discontent among the Uighur population in the XUAR, The once-majority Uighurs remain disconcerted by the migration of Han Chinese to the western region, which threatens to overwhelm them demographically and culturally. |
