<br/><br/> "Not so long ago, they would have stood out. Xinjiang province is populated by Muslim Uighurs, blue-eyed Kazakhs, Persian-looking Tajiks and more than a dozen other ethnic minority groups. Barely a smattering of Han Chinese, who make up the vast majority of the country's population, lived here. But after years of a state-sponsored 'Go West!' campaign, Han migrants from eastern China are overwhelming the ethnic minorities in Xinjiang." (KRT NEWS SERVICE) This article examines how state-sponsored immigration is changing the ethnic balance in western China, with Xinjiang province "on the cusp of looking like the rest of China, its unusual multi-hued ethnic identity diluted forever."
