(Washington D. C., July 13, 2009)(eGrumps commentary)
The ethnic clash in the so-called Western Autonomous Region of China has been largely ignored by America’s Major TV Networks and Main Stream Media.
Why?
What is going on over there is a very serious clash between two ethnic groups. but not much of it is reported in America.
The answer as to why it is not reported is simple. The region is called the Xinjang Region. The Capital City is Urumgi and the second city is called Kashgar. The ethnic dispute is between the Uighurs (ethnic Muslim’s) and the Hun Chinese (not ethnic Muslims).
None of the people on TV can pronounce any of those names, yet alone find the area on a map of China. No one in print media can spell any of those names, yet alone find the area on a map of China. America remains ignorant.
Too bad it wasn’t like Tibet – there our media was right on it – they could spell it, pronounce it, and find it on a map.. I wonder how President Obama and Mrs’ Clinton’s State Depatment feel about this conflict. I suppose it’s like Iran (without nuclear weapons) – America will not meddle. Maybe Obama will appoint another Czar to analyze it and determine what position America should take on this ethnic conflict. Probably nothing – he will not be able to find it or spell the names either.
