But it was intentionally defaming.
The author conveniently left out the identity of the victims, exposing his uninformed readers to a different conclusion.
And without it, it's not the same story.

Actually it seems that the story is same as what Xinhua is saying.
2 Uygurs were killed, no names released. A later story appeared in Xinhua blaming an Uygur organization for the riots and claiming 3 Han people were killed - this was reported seperately by Indian and US presses. (Without naming the person accused of starting the riots).

It certainly does not count as 'intentionally defaming' or Libel in Britain. In the US I think the same would apply. In India, it might be possible to claim libel/instigating riots, but it would be impossible to prove.

If you think the story is wrong, the best way to react would be to produce counterclaims. I have not yet seen anything different between Chinese and Western media.
 
Please point out the contradictions in the story if you see any?

this is why i never consider india as a threat to china ,really don't want to waste my time posting india's internal problems,if every chinese are doing the same thing as you do,china wouldn't be where it is.

On that count you are right. India is not a threat to China.
 
Finally a story from Xinhua, actually blaming/naming people. The original poster was patently wrong. This has NOTHING to do with India.

URUMQI, July 6 (Xinhua) -- Violence in Urumqi, capital of northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, has left at least three civilians and an armed police officer" dead on Sunday, sources with the regional government said early Monday.

The regional government is still calculating the exact number of casualties in the event.

Some civilians and armed police officers were injured and many motor vehicles and shops were smashed and burned, the sources said.

The situation is basically under control, it added.

"They took to the street, not peacefully, carrying knives, wooden batons, bricks and stones," said Wang Yaming, who was attacked by several rioters, but then saved by a group of Uygur citizens.

A taxi driver, whose surname was Zhao, told Xinhua that he was assaulted by about 20 young people with batons rushing out of an alley.

"They beat me badly and took my mobile phone and money away, then they smashed the window of my car," he said.

"At around 9 p.m., eight- to- nine Uygurs besieged me near Shiqihu Road. They asked me which ethnic group I belonged to. I told them I was a Han and then was beaten by them," said Wang Kunding, in the regional People's Hospital.

Wang said he was beaten to the ground and suffered fractures of the legs and arms. He was unable to move. He was taken to the regional People's Hospital at 1:30 a.m. Monday in the car of a Xinhua reporter.

Groups of rioters were seen in the streets in downtown Urumqi at around 8:20 p.m. Sunday. They overthrew isolation guardrails on roads, and began to beat pedestrians of the Han ethic group. They attacked buses with batons and rocks, a Xinhua reporter witnessed.

An injured person was seen by a Xinhua reporter lying under the Tuanjie Road viaduct, bleeding. On another street, a woman lay dead, with a bag on her back.

On Xinhua South Road, a sedan and a truck were overthrown. Their windows were smashed and doors seriously damaged. At the entrance of an alley to the road onlookers, mostly of ethnic minorities, shouted.

Rioters also set fire to a hotel near the office building of the regional foreign trade committee. At least 30 buses and sedans were vandalized.

According to Xinhua reporters at the scene, some people of the ethnic minorities, when finding the Han citizens were attacked, offered to help lead them to safe areas. They also stopped passersby from coming too close to the violence.

As of 10:45 p.m. Sunday, the regional Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital had received 37 injured people. The head of the hospital said under the condition of anonymity that the injured included people of the both Han and Uygur ethnic groups.

Doctors said attackers used long knives, bricks, rocks or wooden bars.

One of the injured was in critical condition while the others had no life-threatening injuries, the hospital head said, adding ambulances were still carrying injured people to the hospital.

Initial investigations showed the violence was masterminded by the separatist World Uyghur Congress led by Rebiya Kadeer, according to the regional government.

Rebiya Kadeer
, a former businesswoman in China, was detained in1999 on charges of harming national security. She was released on bail on March 17, 2005 to seek medical treatment in the United States.

"The violence is a preempted, organized violent crime. It is instigated and directed from abroad, and carried out by outlaws in the country," a government statement said early Monday.

According to the government, the World Uyghur Congress has recently been instigating an unrest via the Internet, calling on supporters "to be braver" and "to do something big."

Nur Bekri, chairman of the Xinjiang regional government, said in a televised speech Monday morning that three forces of terrorism, separatism and extremism made use of a fight between Uygur and Han ethnic workers in a toy factory in Guangdong Province on June 26, in which two Uygur workers died, to creat chaos.

Nur Bekri said the bodies of the two Uygur workers in the factory fight have been sent back by plane to Xinjiang for burial. Police in Xinjiang and Guangdong are jointly investigating the incident.

The government of Shaoguan City, where the toy factory is located, and the factory are trying their best to help Uygur workers go back to work as soon as possible, he added.

The fight was triggered by the sexual of a female Han worker assault by a Uygur coworker, he said.

On Saturday evening, information began to spread on the Internet, calling for demonstration in the People's Square and South Gate in the Urumqi city. On Sunday, Rebiya called her accomplices in China for further instigation, according to the government statement.

Rioters came to the street at around 7 p.m. Sunday. They gathered, marched and demonstrated, which developed into violent acts of beating, smashing, looting and burning in some places, said the official.

"We should bear in mind that stability is to the greatest interest of all people in China, including the 21 million-plus people from all ethnic groups in Xinjiang," he said.

Xinjiang, the far western autonomous region, is home to more than 10.96 million of ethnic minority people, including Uygur, Mongolian and Hui.

TRAFFIC CONTROL

The Urumqi municipal government issued an urgent notice early Monday morning, announcing traffic control in certain areas to "maintain social order in the city and guarantee the execution of duty by state organs."

"From 1 a.m. to 8 a.m. on July 6, police will impose traffic control in certain areas in the city of Urumqi. Passage in these areas is not allowed for any vehicle," the notice reads.

"All the units and individuals shall help maintain social order as required by this notice. People who violate the notice will be detained and punished by police according to law. Those whose acts constitute a crime shall be subject to criminal liabilities according to law," says the notice.

Police have arrested some rioters, although the exact number of people arrested was still not available.

This year marks the region's 60th anniversary of peaceful liberation. But during the annual "two session" in March this year, Nur Bekri warned the security situation in the region would be "more severe."

"It's a time of celebration for Xinjiang people but hostile forces will not give up such an opportunity to sabotage," said the official.
 
I still haven't figured out what this thread was supposed to be about. Was the original poster trying to say that this was a BS report made to malign China?

No idea. Maybe he was trying to say that Indian media should not report about China or he was confused that Times of India was a government publication. I have no clue really. I've been posting links from different sources, but for some reason the original poster has not responded.

You call that emotional ? Here is the same story from Dawn,a Pak source. They are claiming 140 dead!!

Indian and US sources have claimed 2 dead, the same as initial Chinese reports. I can't see any emotional-ness in the Indian stories. If anything they have been extremely conservative.

DAWN.COM | World | At least 140 dead in ethnic Chinese riots: state media
 
i think lots of chinese really pissed when US or india goverment and media used the "freedom or human right" as an excuse to defame china,it's a joke that US are still doing this after the world witnessed what happened in iraq and guantanamo,it's a joke when indian interest in china's story instead of india's feudal story .violence alway become the peaceful demonstrations in your mouth when it happened in china,if it's true ,you are doing the same “suppressing” work everyday as we did .typical double standard

There's still a problem of communication here. I am still not a 100% sure what you mean but will try and reply anyway.

It appears to me that you seem to think that media solely represents the government's position, as in China, or that a government can control the media, as in China.

That does not happen. Once you truly understand that maybe you will re-evaluate your stance.

When we should be supporting and helping each other, why do (some) people take pleasure at seeing this regretful terror attack? Chinese people and Chinese media do not take pleasure in India's suffering.

The truth is most Chinese are taught ALL nations of the world we should be friendly with. It wasn't until recently that people learned the truth that (certain) people want different civilizations to "clash".

I truly believe in delayed-response karma. You may be lucky to "escape" from karma in this lifetime, but what about your offspring? People must realize that what they do will have an effect on them and those around them.

Is it so difficult for someone to feel the pain another 'group' suffers???

Once again someone assumes foreigners don't know what happens in India. India media is highly controlled and censored! Living in India I can testify so many riots, demonstrations, killings don't get reported at all! What is shown in the news in India (TV, newspapers) is almost 100% absent outside of India.

I saw dead bodies left to rot. Slain and nude corpses were so common you become desensitized. Bodies which are left in alleys and dumpsters to rot are common sight. NEVER HAVE I SEEN PUBLIC DISPLAY OF CORPSES AS PREVALENT.

Take this for some thought. The Mumbai Metro consists of burnt trains with NO DOORS. These crowded trains see hundreds of deaths each year in Mumbai/Bumbay alone! Mangled dead and severed human body parts litter the tracks. Because of censorship these and numerous other humanitarian atrocities are censored from world view! :angry: You think I or any foreigner is happy to see or know this??? Absolutely NOT. How much $$$ or time does it take to attach doors to over-crowded fast traveling metro trains??? Is a hundred+ human lives each year worth less than the price of a few doors??? :angry: Whether it is a Chinese or an Indian or a Pakistani or a German or a American or an African --- a life is a life. Don't devalue human life based on sex, religion, age or race! :angry:
