A Fancy 400 lbs posted:Yeah, the Uyghurs are a Turkic people and only became part of China relatively recently(early-mid 1800s off the top of my head?). It would probably be a slightly lighter shade too if Xinjiang hadn't been flooded by Han Chinese people as part of government efforts to sinicize the region. You're thinking of Dzungaria to the south, in the Tarim basin, which was conquered and administratively unified with Xinjiang by the Qing, depopulated by genocide, and then resettled by a handful of different ethnicities including Uyghurs, Hui, and Han. Xinjiang has more or less been "a part of China" for almost 1,900 years since the Han dynasty established a protectorate there. It, like many other parts of China, has passed between a multitude of states since then, of course. This is why the Tang state looked so funky, Xinjiang was connected to the rest of China by a series of forts and roads sandwiched between the northern steppe and Tibet to the south:  The mass immigration to Xinjiang proper by Han chinese on the other hand is a recent phenomenon, starting in the 50's.

icantfindaname posted:That's sort of like claiming that because Rome controlled Iraq for a while 1900 years ago that Iraq has always been a rightful part of modern Italy Haha oh yeah dude, I don't mean to get into any kind of debate about self-determination or anything. But "China" and "Chinese" are extremely fluid descriptors when you're discussing the history of the region. Xinjiang has been sinicized to some degree for a long time, and ruled by many successive dynasties of people who spoke Chinese officially, usually Mongols or Han.

Donkwich posted:What's the difference between Russia's oblasts and its republics? I've read the republics have some autonomy, but is that really true? They do, but their executive independence been steadily eroded since the collapse of the USSR, and especially under Putin, in exchange for subsidies from energy money. He now appoints their Presidents directly, who are then ratified by the legislatures.

As of 2015, it ranked as the fourth busiest airport in the world by cargo traffic, after Hong Kong, Memphis, and Shanghai.
