Big issue with the phrasing in regards to Han living in Xianjiang towards end of history section
[edit]The article mistakenly states that 55% of Han Chinese live in northern Xianjiang. What the original writer probably meant was that 55% of "the Han that live in Xianjiang" happen to live in the northern area of Xianjiang. This is a massive difference. However, I am afraid to edit this, because I don't know how to phrase it. And also, there is a concern listed by an editor below about the Han numbers. So, if somebody with better abilities to handle this situation could do this, then that would be awesome! Here's the quote, just in case somebody needs to do a control-f search to find it: "Southern Xinjiang is home to most of the Uyghur population, about nine million people, out of a total population of twenty million; fifty-five percent of the Han population, mainly urban, live in northern Xinjiang." The semi-colon does not perform the function that the original author thought it did.

Sources needed for People's War Section
[edit]Quick disclaimer: I'm new to Wikipedia discussions and editing, so my formatting might be a bit wonky (sorry!)
In paragraph 11 of History —> People's Republic of China, the article discusses the CCP's "People's War" and the "Three Evil Sources" of separatism, terrorism, and extremism. This paragraph mentions a lot of significant events but doesn't provide any references until the very end where it talks about the Ürümqi rally. I find this lack of sources to be a major issue because it adds to the uncertainty about China's treatment of the Uyghur people.
To combat this uncertainty, someone who is smarter and better at Wikipedia than me should probably add some references :D Jamesofanarchy (talk) 22:36, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
- The source at the end appears to be the source for the whole paraphrase. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 00:03, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
