Tibet unrest spreads to Muslim separatists in China who demand home rule

See what one heroic example can do? It can inspire others:

Muslim separatists demanding independence for China’s westernmost region have massed in a southern Silk Road oasis to protest against Beijing rule, stirred up by recent riots in Tibet.

Officials in Khotan said that about 100 people had been detained after several hundred members of the Uighur Muslim minority staged a demonstration in a marketplace in the city on March 23.

Taiwan, Tibet, the Uighurs -- China is just another oversized monstrosity feeling the centrifugal forces. Don't you just know American leftists are rooting for the central government against the people, just as they did for the old Soviet Union?
