Western media should leave China alone
The Western Media continues its lies against China, especially when it comes to Xinjiang. The time has come to tell the truth about China including Xinjiang
Foreword
WHILE I am not well versed in the history of Xinjiang, it has been my decision to write about this beautiful part of the People’s Republic of China. The decision has been based again on the irregular reporting by certain elements of the Western Media concerning this region. It was also my decision to undertake the writing of this article based on what I saw in China and on historical facts.
A brief history of Xinjiang
The US Latin TV Station America Teve reported about the Xinjiang region using lies such as the following: “Xinjiang became a part of China in 1949.” It appears that people are misinformed again about China’s history and that of its regions. The Xinjiang Region and China have been inseparable since the era of the Han Dynasty between the years 206 BC to 220 AD.
During the Han Dynasty (which was one of the first dynasties in Chin), the following ethnic groups lived in Xinjiang. They were the Han, Sai, Qing, Rouzhi, Wusun and Xiongnu. During this period, there was the existence of the Silk Route, which increased commercial trade between China and the rest of the world that also contributed to the peace and harmony that exists today.
During the time of the Han Dynasty and successive governments, a frontier command was established, which ratified the rule of China over Xinjiang. Russia during the time of the Tsars attempted to take advantage of the period when China was being used as a prize by the Western Imperialists to attempt a takeover of Xinjiang.
The Chinese Government was able to repel the takeover and reinforce its control over Xinjiang. When the Republic of China was proclaimed in 1911, it reinforced its control over Xinjiang. Regardless, there were people who tried to invent names and the West as well as other powers was there to help as long as they benefitted economically.
These group of agitators invented many ways to separate Xinjiang from the rest of China using ethnic and religious divisions. There were others who invented republics and states that withered away because of lack of support from the people who were loyal to China.
The people of Xinjiang were liberated from the claws of oppression from foreigners and their fellow travelers on September 25, 1949. When the People’s Republic of China was proclaimed on October 1, 1949, the people of Xinjiang have been witnesses to the great changes in their lives.
The advances in the realm of education, health and culture have been staggering since the proclamation of the People’s Republic of China. The education system has been designed to improve the lot of the people in the region. The health care system has improved as well with an increase in the creation of hospitals and clinics. There was also progress in the elimination of many contagious diseases that plagued the region.
The area of culture has undergone major changes with the formation of various groups of theatres and music compared to the lack of them before the establishment of the People’s Republic of China. One of the best groups from the Xinjiang Region is Bravo Xinjiang, which is famous for being an ensemble dedicated to song and dance.
In the area of the economy, the Gross Domestic Product of Xinjiang exceeded 400 billion Yuan or 58.9 billion US Dollars in the year 2008.
Personal experience
I remember meeting people from Xinjiang during my trip to China. It was during the period that I was entering the steps of the Great Hall of The People on June 28, 2008, to accept my award for the Olympic Knowledge Contest. The people that I knew were from diverse ethnic groups such as the Kazakh, Mongols, Manchus, Uygur, Tajik, Uzbek and Tatar.
The people of Xinjiang that I met in China shared their love of music with me and their music like the rest of China was very beautiful not only because of the melody but also the verses that extolled love of country, family and friends. The traditional dress that they wore on the steps of the Great Hall of The People exuded beauty and tranquility.
The people of China including Xinjiang practiced as well as preached their love of country, family and friends by helping each other as well as helping a stranger.
After they talked about their culture and love of family, they wanted to know about the USA and the US Latin Community. They were impressed when I told them that some of our music had their origins in China and Xinjiang. After all, we live in a world where only frontiers exist in the mind of the agitators whose minds spew hatred.
While impressed with how many nationalities live together and get along in China, I cannot say the same thing about the USA. I have a feeling that certain members of the US Media want to invent divisions as a result of their own insecurity. It appears that the Western Media cannot accept a China that has always had peaceful multicultural relationships.
It also appears that the Western Media in an attempt to hide their own insecurities or for the lack of news have decided to invent more lies about China. I condemn the lies and misinformation about what has transpired in Xinjiang.
Conclusion
The way the Western Media has portrayed China is based on fear and prejudices. It is also mean and bigoted. The reports on China by the Western Media are nothing more than interference in the internal affairs of a country. The people who have worked in the Western Media (the majority) have not one ounce of knowledge of history when it comes to covering a news story from a distant country. It is also easy for certain members of the Western Media to criticise and meddle in the internal affairs of another country instead of correcting one’s own society.
I have a piece of advice for certain members of the Western Media, please look at the problems facing your societies before attacking other countries and societies.

."WHILE I am not well versed in the history of Xinjiang"
Why are you writing about it then? You havent been there to tell have you? While you being pretentious and using TV-programs lack of factchecking as a proof you actually dont give much to read in this article. You debate with you inner self to provide utter bs and using strong words to prove....nothing.
I havent read that many of your so called "articles" but what i can find from those i read is they are badly built up, lack of proving the claim and basically just poor written to agitate.
.Mosques in riot-hit Urumqi have been ordered to stay closed for Friday prayers in the wake of ethnic violence that left 156 dead, a Chinese official said, and another city in Xinjiang province has suspended visits by foreigners.
The official, who identified herself as a government worker but refused to give her name, said Friday that the decision to close mosques had been made for public safety and that "people should stay at home today and pray."
Separately, officials in Kashgar in southwestern Xinjiang have told visiting journalists that they and other foreigners had to leave the city.
.Author: You are mentally sick. Why should Western Media leave China alone, are they not human beings, see what happened in Latin America- You are talking about cold war days.Crisis? What crisis? For perhaps the first time, China is managing the PR with aplomb. It moved just as swiftly to justify its crackdown as it did to deploy the crackdown itself. Party officials know that the riots risk tarnishing China's global image the way Lhasa did, so they have undertaken a swift program of public relations, getting the official version of the story out fast and busing in foreign journalists to visit the riot-torn city center. The Chinese are suddenly looking like credible spin doctors.These measures are harsher than during the Lhasa riots, where residents remained able to speak to the outside world, though many were too fearful to say much. The contrast reflects Xinjiang's higher level of development and the government's greater anxiety, says Prof. Xiao Qiang at Berkeley's Graduate School of Journalism. "Urumqi is a very wired city. ������ [If] the government want[s] to control this information, they have no choice" but to enforce a blackout, he says.
Unlike Tibet last year, the riot area remains open to foreign journalists, a sign that Beijing has learned media-management lessons from the globally hostile coverage it got for barring reporters in Tibet. The day after the Urumqi bloodshed, the State Council Information Office set up a Xinjiang Information Office in Urumqi to assist foreign reporters. It went further, inviting foreign media on a trip to Xinjiang to tour the riot zones, visit hospitals, and see the damage for themselves. Journalists were given CDs loaded with photos and TV clips. "They try to control the foreign journalists as much as possible by using this more sophisticated PR work rather than ban[ning] them,To be sure, the CCP can't answer every uncomfortable development. Whereas the Dalai Lama has raised Tibet's profile over many years, the Xinjiang riots threaten to highlight a previously obscure ethnic issue. Critics of China's treatment of the Uighur Muslim minority had already made headway in the U.S., which is still searching for a country willing to accept 14 Uighurs released from Guant����namo Bay. (U.S. judges agreed with the detainees' lawyers that they risked execution if sent back to China, where the courts deal harshly with anyone suspected of opposing Beijing's rule over Xinjiang, whose 10 million Uighurs make up half the region's population and speak a language close to Turkish.) With 1,434 fresh Uighur detainees, China puts itself back in the cross hairs of international human-rights groups. Beijing may have learned spin doctoring, but it's unlikely to buy the adage that there's no such thing as bad press.
Ramjesh:
While you have a right to an opinion, you have no right to insult the author because you disagree with them. Again that is the way the US Governing Elite and their Cold War puppets function. If a person disagrees with them, call them mentally sick. The same thing happens in Latin America and the former USSR.
The people from the Western Press who misinform people about China have an agenda of wanting to remove China from the scene so that they could dominate again. Regardless, it will not come to pass because people have seen through the lies of certain elements of the Western Press.
Do you think those that killed and rioted are saints? These are the same people who would love to see a Taliban style state in Xinjiang and do not have the support of the majority of the people.
If you disagree with me, please do so diplomatically. If you can only offer insults, please do not bother to visit me. Thank You.
