based on some videos ive seen of tourists going to the area and asking uighur taxi drivers and clubbers how they feel about stuff, its basically summed up by them as : 'yeah there were a bunch of nationalists who bombed urumqi and killed/wounded 3k people and that led to a crackdown, its safer here now and the police are mostly uighur but there are still some ethnic tensions and distrust'

some kids were interviewed, uighurs, han, hui, etc. kids were all hanging out and didnt really understand why the grownups were still angry at each other basically

a lot of nightclubs (especially lgbt ones) are usually pretty heavily guarded because they used to get attacked a lot
