I went there in July 2025 for two weekscan speak a bit of Uyghur, have lots of Uyghur friendsalso speak Chinese
>>217671271Are you Asian
>>217671283no I am white, a bit tannedmost people there thought I was Uyghur or Russian
>>217671310How can you be White and get mistaken for an Asian
>>217671335some Uyghurs look white-adjacentthey often have Russian/Tatar ancestryon the other hand some have Persian ancestry and look really brownalso the people there don't expect any foreigners to come there so when they see someone white-looking they just assume they're a Uyghurone time I went into a Shaanxi restaurant in Urumqi and the waitress told me I couldn't eat there because it's not halal (she assumed I was Uyghur lol)
>>217671363She probably assumed all brits are strict islamists
>>217671271I lived there for 20 years. I definitely know more about Xinjiang.
>>217671271how many han chinks are there
>>217671394lol
>>217671271so is the camps real or cap?
>>217671412伊犁的是吧?我记得你>>217671413depends on the region/citynorth of Urumqi it's mostly Han and some Kazakhbetween Urumqi and Kashgar it's mixed, Uyghur-majority in rural areas but cities like Korla and Aksu have more Hanssouth of Kashgar is 98% Uyghurthere are some areas which are like military colonies that are mostly Han in the souththe only Han-majority places I went to were Urumqi and Hami
>>217671460idk, I obviously didn't see any (lol) but two people (a Han and an Uyghur) told me they were realI don't think there's any way for a normal person to know for sure
>>217671462兵团 is nearly full of Han Chinese. Southern Urumqi used to have way more Han Chinese. But people moved to northern city or other provinces. My area is full of Uyghur now.
>>217671507It’s prison. Imagine you are forced to learn 500 Chinese characters for getting a permission to leave lmao. These things have been closed now.
>>217671624I know one Uyghur girl from 图木舒克 which is a bingtuan citybut the other bingtuan towns I saw were all Han
So, genocide?
>>217671716We don’t have diversity in 兵团. It’s built by immigrants. I don’t know southern xinjiang though.
>>217671507有的,兄弟有的。之前陈全国赴任新疆就是搞了一大堆教育营。搞高压政策,现在退休了,换马兴瑞去搞了,马兴瑞之前在广东当省长,他倒是没那么高压,这些东西就慢慢拆掉了,但还有常态化巡逻就是了,不过马兴瑞今年缺席了中央经济工作会议,估计是他在广州大笔捞钱,现在要秋后算账了(可怜的理工男)。不知道是谁是下任新疆书记。可以上网站赌一波了
>>217671271Does China oppress muslims there?
>>217672235嗯,感觉现在比以前好多了只有街头上的武警
>>217672235巅峰时期,路怒吵架,武警直接把你按在车上,枪指着脑袋。现在比之前舒缓太多了,乌鲁木齐流入了大量维族
>>217672296毕竟马兴瑞是在广东捞钱捞够了,心平气和,估计想着新疆随便搞搞经济就行,反正自己稳升了马上就可以去北京咯。可惜给BOSS拿下了。。。>>217672382七五搞太狠了。中央哈气了,只能受着了
There is no genocide in Xinjiang. And if there was, they probably deserved it for doing terrorism (Russian backed)
>>217672526七五确实太严重了,我那时候还小,断个一年多网没啥感觉。那时候真是第一天汉族遭砍,第二天互相刀战。死了不知道多少人,电视里反复播放录像
>>217671271How is race relations nowadays?
>>217672862fine unless the online han nationalists decide to fk shit up, but most of the movements are reactionary due to CCP's almost enforced harmonious nationalism across ethnic lines. But who knows what's going to happen with the economic downturn.
>>217672862While I was there I met some Hans who were casually racist to Uyghurs, like saying they are stupid, easy to cheat, uncivilised etcBut most people are nice to each other
>>217671271Is it true they live in a police state-esque dystopia under constant mass surveillance and have had most of their mosques destroyed or remodelled?
