le sigh

sounds familiar, people?

So what are the protesters protesting against?

Uighur, please

basically, pretty much the same as Tibet, only Muslim, so not as cuddly

China needs to realize that if their government is going to survive the long haul they need to respect some level of decency when it comes to civil liberties.

With China as soon as you get out of the gooey populous center of the country (North China plain and most of the coast) you have a whole lot of distinct cultures that are ages old-Manchus, Uyghurs, Turkmen, Mongolians, etc. and some are more eager to submit to central Chinese rule than others. If China was to "Free Tibet" then China would have to free a shitload of other minorities or face full-scale revolt. Same situation here. All multicultural nations that enforce the will of one group over others have had this problem.
