Beijing's show of military strength appears to haverestored calm on the streets of the regional capital Urumqi in China'snorth-west Xinjiang province.
Yesterday's massive display of force apparently had the intendedeffect - with the streets of Urumqi slowly returning to normal.
Vigilantes with homemade weapons are no longer roaming the streets.
The city's main square is still being guarded by police, but thereis not the huge military contingent there today that was assembledyesterday.
Around the city, soldiers continue to man roadblocks, and military vehicles can still be seen on the streets.
Ethnic tensions are unlikely to have subsided entirely and this remains a city where peace is being achieved through force. |
