Usual stuff. You see, that's the problem with Xinjiang. The Uighurs resent the Han Chinese coming in to Xinjiang and "taking their jobs". However true it is, I have no idea. But what I do know is that this is exactly the same problem as Taiwan and Tibet. Basically, the government in Beijing only cares about the Han. And without US intervention in Taiwan, I can say with some assurance that China would have tried to do something there too.
As it is,
China rejects all notions that the government created the mess.

DOGS!? In a Muslim area!? Nutjobs for sure they are.
Maybe the biggest mistake China did was to make Xinjiang autonomous. When they did, Han Chinese flocked there to open shop, and then the Uighurs also wanted independence at the same time. THey should have just used the SAR system.
