The Chinese should be liberals ... they think you can solve every problem by passing a law against it.

Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region would accelerate local legislation against separatism, said the region's top lawmaker on Sunday.

That'll certainly get rid of all ethnic tension, and make all Uighurs happy to be part of China. Just to make sure the Uighurs get the point:
A most urgent problem to be solved was the lack of law booklets in ethnic minority languages, he said. The region had organized experts to do the translation work and the booklets would soon be distributed to farmers and herdsmen across the region, he added.
You see, that was the problem. The Uighurs didn't know they shouldn't riot against the Han Chinese, because the relevant laws weren't widely available in Uighur. If only all problems were solved this easily.
