祈祷,为那些无辜的生命!
They are a terrorist group (some call them separatist). They are in a part of Mongolia but have been occupied and ruled by China since 1949. They live mostly in Turkestan. They are not Chinese and most do not speak Chinese. I have seen them in Guangzhou and they are scary people. They travel and congregate in groups and they are disrespectful to anyone that is not in their clan and they especially hate Chinese authorities. They carry large illegal knives in open site and the police look the other way. The local police are afraid of them because they may be just one on the sidewalk but he has a dozen or more family members hiding in the crowds . They have many sidewalk vendor operations which everyone (but stupid Americans) know to avoid. They have a swindle that they pull on foreigners. They have a very large fruit/nut cake on a cart and will sell you a piece for a reasonable price. But once the piece is cut the price goes up 500% and if you don't pay it they will cause a scene and if you still don't pay it out comes the knife and all his family.
Maybe they have a legitimate argument with the Chinese government because they were autonomous self ruling people until China invaded in 1949. But Terrorist tactics and slaughtering of innocents are never going to win them any support internationally.
