Due to the Chinese modernization projects, much of the cultural, ethnic identity of Uighurs has been dying.\r\rThe summary of the story:\rOn the 60th anniversary of the People\u2019s Republic of China in 2009, ethnic diversity was stressed as well as ethnic unity. However, in Xinjiang, China\u2019s resource-rich far west, originally inhabited by Uighurs who practice Islam, the social, cultural and ethnic landscape of the region has dramatically changed. The Chinese government-supported development projects, fortified by millions of ethnic Han Chinese migrants, have been destroying the life of the Uighurs: Uighur children are now prohibited to pray at mosques and losing their mother tongues and huge parts of Uighur old communities are flattened by bulldozers. The economic gap between the region's old inhabitants and newer arrivals has also become outstanding. These changes have, according to human rights groups, created profound backdrops of violent political unrest like what happened in the July riots in 2009.", "Image Make": "Canon", "Image Model": "Canon EOS 5D Mark II", "Image Orientation": "Horizontal (normal)", "Image XResolution": "300", "Image YResolution": "300", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Inch", "Image Software": "Adobe Photoshop CS4 Macintosh", "Image DateTime": "2010:08:06 11:56:57", "Image Artist": "Q.
