Painstaking efforts to eradicate the root causes of terrorism and extremist thoughts by every single resident and ethnicities should also be applauded the most. One should also realize the complexities of the situation and the back stories behind it not oftentimes mentioned seen on mainstream media.
We were there just for 2 weeks, and this was what we saw. Xinjiang is very big and there is much more to see and explore, so we hope we can go there again! :)
@@noelborbon6155 As a Chinese, I am very grateful to them, because the Chinese are really angry when they see the news that smears Xinjiang and smears China.
Let's dedicate this EPIC documentary those who need to become your supporters and fans from now on, admiring the Holy Creation in this precise location, heavenly delight indeed
Yes, but this is another version of the story. I have heard that there are at least three versions. Seems we don't know for sure which one is the true.
@@journeybeyondthehorizon6270 another version was a fiction written by the rebels. Siang Fei was recorded in Qing dynasty record book, Emperor Chien Lung even built a mosque for her.
@@journeybeyondthehorizon6270 Also, in Chinese imperial palace, emperor’s mom did not have the rights to kill a woman because she refused to serve the emperor. There is no such case in Chinese history.

If that's right, my source of information is wrong, so I am sorry for that. But seems the different sources and versions of this story should be investigated and confirm which one is right.
Thta's East Turkestan not Xinjiang. It was occupied in 1948 by Mao and it will never be part of China. It's a matter of time until the Uighurs will find the mental strength and the material resources to eject China from East Turkestan.
I don't know. I am neutral. Currently, officially, it is called Xinjiang and it is a part of China, that's what I know. I am just a traveler. What will happen in the future, we don't know.
@@bouzidbastami334 I understand, but there are many things that we simply don't know. Various people have their own opinions and statements, some say one, others say the opposite. I don't know who is right and who is wrong. That's why I can say only what I have seen personally as a traveler. Everything else is- "maybe", "maybe".
@@journeybeyondthehorizon6270 There is no maybe maybe, the truth is known except for those who choose to turn blind eyes to the situation. East Turkestan was free country until 1947 when communist Mao went and invaded its territory like Tibet and inner Mongolia. Since then, ethnic cleansing against the Uighurs in the most brutal way did never stop. The iphone you carry most likely is made with parts manufactured through forced labor in those CCP camps.
Honestly, we as tourists couldn't see this. Because if there is any, it would be hidden, far from the tourist destinations. What we saw was almost normal life everywhere, just with strenghtened police control (more check-points, more policemen). From what local people shared with us, we couldn't know about it, but we can't say is it because there is no genocide, or just because they were afraid to talk about it. So, the only sources of information still remain the various contradicting media articles, from both Chinese and Western sides.
Well, what we saw is that the local Uyghur culture is there. It is not destroyed. People speak freely their Uyghur language on the street, everything is written in both Chinese and Uyghur languages, the mosques are still there (maybe not all but some of them), you can here Uyghur music everywhere. In fact, the authorities even promote the local Uyghur culture. BUT! Everything was obviously under tight control. So we can suppose that everybody who is against this control can be in trouble. But what exactly is the trouble, we can't see. We can only read from various media sources.
@@alexking7295 Yes, actually, the local people told me that these check-points were from 2010, after the riots of Uyghurs in Urumqi, when many people (from both sides- Chinese and Uyghurs) were killed. They said before that Xinjiang was much more free, no check-points, no policemen everywhere. But things were changed after the riots and are like this since then. In other words, these check-points are to prevent future riots (at least this is the official statement there).
@@journeybeyondthehorizon6270 It was not just that one riot. There used to be many terrorists attacks. Of course you don’t get to know about them from western media. They were not Uyghurs rebelling against Han stories the west tried to portray. The victims include people of all ethnicities including Uyghurs themselves.
