  1. @rmack "If you are in China using Twitter, can you pls reply or DM me re: what method you are using to access it?" // http://iTweet.net
  2. hearing that several Uyghur victims of yesterdays Han vengeance mobs died, wondering if govt has released any numbers #Urumqi
  3. @zjjtrans Don't think as simple as that. //I'm not. I think the real reason was Kadeer's NPC speech.
  4. @zjjtrans Rebiya Kadeer "sold intel to overseas orgs" //uh, AFAIK her husband sent newspapers to US which were called "state secrets"
  5. @GraniteStudio @MalcolmMoore @AdamMintner using iTweet.net, works quite well.
  6. @pdenlinger the phones have been inconsistent from the get go.
  7. RT @pdenlinger: All communications from BJ to #urumqi cut off. No phone or Internet. //not true, just received call.
  8. Trans @ wenyunchao Soldiers in Urumqi chanting "Love the people, serve the nation, accomplish the mission, hearts as one, 1, 2, 3, 4"
  9. RT @wenyunchao: 乌鲁木齐街的士兵在喊:“热爱人民,报效国家,不辱使命,同心合力,一二三四!
  10. Some days I don't know which pisses me off more: Wang Lequan's petty tyranny or Rebiya Kadeer's dishonesty. They should be a sitcom.
  11. RT @MalcolmMoore: Peter Foster says he can see troops everywhere on the horizon, moving into the city and chanting Defend the Motherland
  12. RT @MalcolmMoore: In SE Urumqi, huge numbers of PLA troops moving into the city. 40 trucks with tanks, water cannons, etc counted so far
  13. RT @foxmachia No one can make a statement except Hu because of Wang Lequan's v.senior position in politburo, bingtuan
  14. RT @MalcolmMoore: Reuters is reporting that crowds of Uighurs and Han Chinese are throwing rocks at each other, over the heads of the police
  15. Getting reports of ppl carrying weapons in both north and south parts of Urumqi. Phone lines are open.
  16. RT @austinramzy Two police officers just escorted a Uighur woman with a baby through a Han crowd with clubs by the People's theater. #Urumqi
  17. They let the foreign journalists in to see the damage done by Uyghurs, only for them to be set upon by Han. Govt just cannot win sometimes.
  18. RT @melissakchan: There is no right or wrong anymore. Just vigilantes, Han & Uighur. Mostly men but some women & even children.
  19. Heard rumors of armed Uyghurs in other hospitals shortly before news of mob at No. 2, but seemed to be false alarm. Now not so sure.
  20. Imagine Govt - Han protestor discussion: "we need to talk about race, not fight" Han: "you never wanted it b4, but now u wanna talk?"
