There was a racial riot between Muslim Uighur and Han Chinese in the Chinese city of Urumqi at the month of July.156 people were killed in the clashes on Sunday and over 1000 were injured.In the article Mr Shi Guanzheng ,a retired teacher from Shanghai, blamed the government for failing to quickly quell protests by Han Chinese.
I feel this riot can lead to a bigger problem if not stopped.The affected region is near Chinas border.Since the riots are an internal problems neighbouring countries might take advantage and take over the territory.This can lead to war.I also feel this is quite unfair to the Muslim in the region.Most Muslim are not violent and its difficult for them to retaliate.
The government should not differciate them just by their religon, it will lead to further disputes and riots in the future, the government should treat both the Chinese and Muslin equally the same.
