It looks like this riot toll is just a revenge to the Han people by the Xinjiang people. But it is not this simple. Uighur residents, speaking softly in alleyways away from patrolling police and troops, complained about the growing Han Chinese presence. Some said many of those arrested were youths caught up in indiscriminate police sweeps of the rundown concrete apartments where many Uighurs live. "They've been taking away all the young people, going into our homes and taking them away," said Amina, a middle-aged woman in a Muslim headscarf sitting on the steps of a mosque. She said her own son had been taken but did not want to give his name. "They don't care who they take, as long as you're between 17 and 20 and they don't like the look of you," she said as her neighbors shook their heads and clucked in sympathy. In other big Chinese cities like Beijing,Shanghai,Guangzhou. Lots of Han people think that all the Xinjiang people are thieves. Although some Xinjiang people did commit some crimes in these big cities, this is a sign of the potential conflicts between the Han people and Xinjiang people.(you can get more New York,Los Angeles,San Francisco, Chicago flights and airfares info at Travel2ChinaInfo Dot COM) By Shane Lee.
