Riots in Xinjiang, China Kill 156
http://asianhistory.about.com/b/2009/07/06/riots-in-xinjiang-china-kill-156.htm

Monday July 6, 2009

China's Xinhua News reports that at least 156 people died in the city of Urumqi, Xinjiang Province in ethnic riots between the local Uighur people and Han Chinese immigrants.

The violence has also left at least 800 people injured.

The Uighurs are a Muslim and ethnic-Turkic people, with a distinct culture and history from the Han Chinese majority. Beijing asserted control over the Uighur region after the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949; some Uighurs have been pushing for independence ever since.

What sparked yesterday's violence is not entirely clear. Rumors are swirling about violence against women of both ethnicities as the source of the fighting. Some reports also cite fighting between the two groups in southern China in June, or conflict over factory jobs.

新疆骚乱，中国杀死156人
中国新华社新闻报道，新疆本地维吾尔人与汉族移民之间的民族骚乱，使得乌鲁木齐市至少有156人死亡。
暴力事件也已造成800多人受伤。
维吾尔人由穆斯林和突厥族组成，和占多数的汉族人有着截然不同的文化和历史。1949年中华人民共和国成立后，北京声称控制了维吾尔地区。一些维吾尔人从那时起推动独立。
还不完全清楚是什么引发的暴力活动。传言称暴力侵害妇女是两族斗争的根源。一些报道还列举两族六月在中国南方的斗殴，或为工厂职位的冲突。
