Xinjiang is a Chinese province, mostly inhabited by Uighurs who are Muslims. They have been fighting for independence from Chinese rule for centuries.

I don't think e-mailing the Chinese authorities would be of much use. Maybe if the Uighurs discover oil in Xinjiang and George W Bush gets to hear of it, then there may be some hope.
