I think they probably did not mean to make this thread quite so active, lol; just wanted to lay in a quick "Uighurs did it" and then quietly retreat.

Unfortunately for someone's 50 cents, we managed to get into some of the actual history now of what has gone on since the Communist invasion of 1949-1950.

My own grandparents fled Lanzhou when Mao's jerks came swarming in. Bright, promising young nursing students were shot dead in the street by his thugs for absolutely no reason. War is hell, and Mao Zedong--though this is never acknowledged--remains the worst mass murderer in the history of the human race.
