China to uproot 10,000 families

Oh yeah.. I can see how this is going to work out.
"It's a new highrise.. oh wait. It's a low rise."
At least the old city hasn't fallen down yet.

Change isn't always a bad thing.

(how is this news though? )

But look at that lovely architecture. I'd much rather ahve low-rises like that instead of the concrete-commie apartment blocks that will no doubt be going in there.

That's not like China. Relocating 10,000 people? Wouldn't it be easier and more cost effective to just shoot the 10,000?

It is just China's continuing effort to erase all evidence that the Uygers ever existed. It is a slow process of cultural genocide. The Chinese are scum. Your Wal-mart dollars at work!

Suprise, suprise. When ever you have a dissident population the easiest way to control them is to put them in state built and run apartment complexes, complete with hot and cold running water, communist building wardens, block groups responsible to the government and every apartment bugged by big brother.

Don't laugh it works.

Just ask Joe Stalin.
