Xinjiang's Riots

On July 2009, up to 800 people died in Urumqi due to race riots.

Race riots also known as Racial riots are riots between two different race, reasons may vary. In the late 1960s, in the Race riots the term came to describe riots involving large numbers if members of racial minority groups. The Turkic- speaking people have long complained of repression and discrimination under chinese rule, but Beijing insists it has brought economic prosperity to the region.

The situation in Xinjiang was uncontrollable. People could not imagine what it is like to have dead body lying in the streets.Han chinese and Muslim Uighurs should signed a treaty on certain agreements between them to stop the riots.

If this Race riot happen in Singapore, the government would be in a difficult point as the government could not help.
