China's Xi visits Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region to mark anniversary | Radio Free Asia (RFA)

Описание: Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived to a jubilant celebration in Urumqi, the capital of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, on Tuesday, part of a trip to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the region’s founding.

Video from state TV showed dozens of dancing, flower-waving celebrants on the airport tarmac as Xi disembarked. State media reports say he met with representatives of ethnic groups and “expressed the hope that everyone would join forces and move forward together to build a beautiful Xinjiang.”

The friendly tableau stood in stark contrast to widespread allegations of abuses against ethnic Uyghurs in Xinjiang carried out by Beijing.
