Xinjiang 'holocaust' claims serve Washington's aims

FRIDAY IS THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY of the July 5 riot in Urumqi, the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region. China Daily writer Li Yang comments:

An opinion piece on Xinjiang published by The Washington Post one day before the commemoration of the incident makes interesting reading, but only because of how far it stretches the truth.

In this one-sided harangue, Carl Gershman, president of the National Endowment for Democracy, exposes his lack of knowledge of the region as well as his prejudice toward China's Xinjiang policy.
