From AFP:
Beijing’s China Ethnic Culture Park features what it calls “precise re-creations” of life for all China’s 56 ethnic groups, but one thing seems in short supply: actual ethnic minorities.
“There are no Uighurs here,” said a Han Chinese security guard in the forlorn-looking section devoted to that restive Muslim ethnicity from western China’s Xinjiang region.
“There haven’t been any for several years,” he said.
A young Tibetan women said all those in her section were from Qinghai province — not Tibet, which exploded in anti-Chinese rioting in March.
