Turkey called in China ’s ambassador on Tuesday after his embassy said it had “the right to respond” to Turkish opposition leaders who criticized China ’s treatment of Uighur Muslims when they issued statements referring to violence three decades ago. Many of the 40,000 Uighurs in Turkey have criticized the government’s approach to China after it approved an extradition treaty in December, which they fear may lead to them being sent back to China to face vague charges which they deny.

But while you're eating, you don't want to be constantly fumbling around with the mouse, loading video after video. The people who wronged China in the past are long dead, the governments and institutions that allowed for their past suffering don't reflect the host nations today. If anything they are doing the same thing that got them into the 150-year decline. Damage relations so much that no one wants to trade or push everyone away because you think you don't need them.
"We are asking Mr Cheng to sit down with us to hear our stories and answer our questions."

"If yesterday's media conference was not a propaganda exercise then surely the ambassador would welcome an open dialogue," Uighur leader Ramila Chanisheff said.
Uyghur community leaders in Australia appalled and outraged the government allowed a Chinese Communist Party propaganda parade .
Foreign governments accuse China of committing genocide against Uyghurs and detaining about a million people, and community leaders in Australia want the government here to recognise the alleged atrocities.Their comments come after the Chinese embassy in Canberra held a press conference where journalists were played five propaganda videos about conditions in Xinjiang in China's far west.
