| | Something I came across a couple days ago gave me pause. It turns out that the percentage that Han Chinese comprise of Xinjiang's population, while it did climb pretty consistently for quite awhile, has now been holding steady at around 40% for the past ten years or so. Food for thought. Looks like I'm going to have to rethink my previous entry. Although Han Chinese may not end up as the majority (barring, of course, any changes in migration policy towards a more pro-Han migration regime), it may very well be that the region will still get locked into an unhealthy cycle of mutual distrust and recriminations between communities. It is, however, too late (and I am too tired) to extend that line of thought any further. Maybe tomorrow.
