Blasts in China's Xinjiang kill two, says government
18
BEIJING: Two people were killed and “many” injured by multiple explosions in China's Xinjiang, the local government said Monday.
The blasts struck at least three locations including a shopping area in Luntai County in the region's south on Sunday, the Xinjiang government's Tianshan web portal said.
The Tianshan report did not say what caused the explosions or give a precise number of injured.
Clashes between locals and security forces in Xinjiang — home to the mostly-Muslim Uighur minority — and attacks targeting civilians have killed more than 200 people in the past year.
Beijing blames violence in Xinjiang on “terrorist” groups seeking independence for the region, while rights groups say that cultural and religious oppression of Uighurs has fueled resentment.

It is said, "jaisi karni waisi bharni''. China is doing everything possible to harm India, now, its your turn.Pakistan, be aware, days are not far when you will have Chinese soldiers on Pak streets!! And you know how they handled Tienanmen square.
India have suffered a lot,but, Indians have learnt to survive this menace. There are religious fanatics, but, in general, Indian people have stared to realize.
India is the only country where respect of other religions is practiced and not only lectured upon.

We all know which of China's neighbors is doing this. China's president just returned from their country and they started here kind of escalations already. I hope China can find the source of these problems and then bring it to media spotlight.

@Nihal "India is the only country where respect of other religions is practiced and not only lectured upon.".
What say that again....!!! India is the only country where state sponsored ethnic cleansing. I can list many such incidents...Modi for one!
Atleast in Pakistan it is not State sponsored killing of minorities, it is the work of extremist groups!!!
