Uighur rebellion will foster human rights in China

Tensions are running high in East Turkestan under Chinese domination (Xinjiang). Uighurs are watching with despair the demolition of their ancient historical sites and cultural heritage. Uighurs feel that Han immigrants to Xinjiang are depriving them of a future of selfgovernment and freedom. Dominat elites in Beijing are obsessed about the control of the entire territory of People's Republic of China. But they will lose the control and the power. Times are changing. The rebellion of Uighurs, along with Tibetan resistance, is not terrorism, not at all. It will foster the universal rights of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. For those who have time for a deepening, I recall some words written by Dru C. Gladney since 1995 (and some other written even before...): http://www.sp.unipi.it/files/2803-disintegration-as-hope-02-2006-03-10-china.pdf.
