On Thursday, 9th July 2009, a riot broke out between the Muslim Uighurs and Han Chinese. Between 600-800 people died due to the violencein the chinese city of Urumqi. The riot broke out because the muslims complained that they felt discriminated under the chinese rule. One of the causes are also because of misunderstandings. I feel that it is not safe to stay in Xinjiang as you can see 600 - 800 people died. We do not know who could be killed during riots like this. To stop the riot, 1 representative from each party should meet up and sign a treaty so that they would not be rioting again and make peace. If this situation were to occur in Singapore, it would be best for me not to interfere as Singapore is a multi-ethnic country which consist races of Malay, Chinese, Tamil and Euraseans. But if ones strongly believe on its own race, they would fight for its rights for their race.
