Acknowledging a recent protest in the Muslim, northwestern province of Xinjiang, the Chinese government has announced that Islamic separatist groups are seeking to foment unrest there.

First Tibet, then Sichuan and Gansu and now Xinjiang. Some of the incidents are related some not but the more I read about them the more convinced I am that technology (Internet, mobile communication, dengdeng) are helping to perpetuate and sustain them.

Recent and upcoming events in and around China my go far to explain.
