The background section

It seems as if the description of people's views contains sweeping, generalized statements about the political views of Uyghur people in different cities. Obviously, there will be a diversity of political views among any population. Additionally, phrasing like this seems excessively editorial:

"Both Uyghur and Han Communist officials in Turpan turn a blind eye to the law and allow religious Islamic education for Uyghur children"
"Turpan is more economically prosperous and views China more positively than the rebellious Kashgar, which is the most anti-China oasis."

These are not statements made with WP:NPOV in mind at all, and seem to have been written by numerous editors. Paragraphs have been fixed and consolidated, but nobody has ever refactored the whole thing. This is especially a hot topic due to Uyghur-China relations becoming a popular topic recently, and biased information from Wikipedia could (probably already has) make its way into the torrent of news articles about this. I will flag the section. I'm sorry, I'm not really an expert on this topic so I can't rewrite. 96.55.212.210 (talk) 17:48, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This reads more like wp:OR than wp:NPOV - certainly if they are not backed by reliable sources, they should be challenged or removed - but if there are reliable sources, this wouldn't be an NPOV issue. 2607:9880:1A38:138:584C:86FD:3780:C91E (talk) 17:39, 11 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with comments above. Have deleted a paragraph that is irrelevant to this particular article. BobFromBrockley (talk) 09:03, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Correction / correct-attributioin needed

This section ;

"According to journalist Jonathan Fenby, about three dozen Uyghurs have been spotted fighting for the Levant-based Islamic State, which claims the allegiance of Muslims worldwide.[11]"

attributes the SOURCE, as-of Fenby,

when quite clearly in the article, the SOURCE, is another, perhaps Chinese gov. intelligence? , claim ;

" "There have been reports that about three dozen Uighurs from Xinjiang are fighting with the ISIS forces," he says. "

---

Just to re-focus, that's Fenby, describing-reports,

"There have been reports that ..."

---

not, himself-reporting, not-himself creating, a reporting-of.

where is/are the original report/s ? What's he referring to?
