My Natural Hostility to the Chinese Government...
is somewhat in abeyance at the moment. You've probably seen the news coverage of these Uighur vs. Han Chinese riots. At least some of what is driving the Uighur hostility towards the Chinese government is Muslim hostility towards a non-Muslim system--and it is significant that some of the Gitmo detainees are Uighurs who were recruited by al-Qaeda.
There are probably legitimate Uighur grievances towards the Chinese government. But this is one of the many struggles going on around the world right now where there is one factor in common: Islamists are one side, and practically every ideology, religion, or theory imaginable, is on the other.
