In Malaysia Airlines Disappearance, Terrorism Fears Fly in China
(Passenger 84 is part of this group)
The news of the plane's disappearance has struck a China already on high alert for terrorism. Only a week earlier on March 1, a gruesome knife attack in the train station of provincial capital Kunming in southern Yunnan province left at least 29 dead and more than 140 injured. Chinese authorities have deemed the carnage in Kunming a terrorist attack carried out by separatists from Xinjiang, a region in northwest China heavily populated by Uighur Muslims.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Xinjiang is a region on the westernmost edge of northern China. It is home to an ethnic Muslim minority called Uighurs
long chafed under Chinese rule and have protested the steady influx of ethnic Chinese into the region.
region has been part of many different and, at times, competing empires.
Xinjiang have agitated against Chinas authoritarian government. Their protests are a reaction
Just as Chinese leaders try to control other religions, including Catholicism and evangelical Christianity, they have issued strict policies for Muslim Uighurs. They must use a state-approved Koran.
Mosques are managed by the government. And Uighur men who want government jobs have been forced to shave their beards; women are forbidden to wear head scarves.
Human rights groups have been fairly critical of Chinas treatment of Uighurs. One of the most egregious examples they cite occurred just weeks ago, when authorities seized a prominent Uighur
scholar (like passenger 84!) named Ilham Tohti at his home without explanation.
Readers who closely followed the debate over detainees held by the United States at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, may recall a group of Uighurs who were essentially stranded there for more than a decade
When U.S. officials tried to transfer them to other countries, China warned the nations
not to accept them.
The violence has been bad for a while. Whats different now is the emergence of targeted terrorist strikes.
The Chinese government will not hesitate to concoct a version of the incident i
n Beijing, so as to further impose repressive measures on the Uighur people.
To Chinese, the most shocking attack blamed on Uighurs occurred in October when a jeep veered into a crowd in Beijings Tiananmen Square, then crashed and burst into flames, killing five people.

PS: IF THE BLURRING ON THE ORGINAL PASSENGER MANIFEST IS CORRECT- THEN FROM DAY ONE THOSE IN POWER KNEW THERE WAS HUGE CONCERN -FROM THE ONSET, IMO

Mass stabbing at Kunming train station
.... a group of assailants arrived at the train station, took out long knives and began stabbing passengers at random, killing 33 and wounding 143.
Chinese officials have moved to shut down discussion about the gruesome mass stabbing at the Kunming train station just days after the attack.
Those responsible were described by Chinese officials as "terrorists" from the far-western province of Xinjiang.
Over the past year there has been an increasing number of these violent clashes reported inside Xinjiang, where many local ethnic Uighurs seek independence from China.
