An article in ABC (Australia) news online: 

"Like the ravages of the Cultural Revolution in the 1960s and the Tiananmen Square massacre in 1989, China now appears to be embarking on a campaign of coerced, collective amnesia about the crackdown in Xinjiang.

A museum in the capital Urumqi, dedicated to "The Fight Against Terrorism and Extremism in Xinjiang", outlines in glossy, gory detail the period of bloody unrest in the province."
