Dear Editor Chris Johns ,
I’m a long time subscriber to NG. I have truly enjoyed reading every issue of your magazine until the December issue. The featured article in this issue, The Other Tibet, has appalled me. Like many others in the world, I view the riot in Xinjiang last July nothing less than an act of terrorism: for weeks innocent people were attacked or killed, businesses were assaulted, and the region was terrified, by a small group of terrorists who were mostly Uygurs. As far as I could tell based on the facts, the local and central Chinese government exhibited well acclaimed control in use of forces, and few complained about the way the government handled the riot.
What puzzles me the most about this article is not how the author, Matthew Teague, wrote the article with his personal peculiar angle in the observation of the incidence, biased opinion towards Han Chinese and the Chinese government, unbalance coverage of the confrontation and unjustified conclusion which was not based on complete and accurate facts, but rather your magazine’s stand and your personal note on the article which, in my opinion, violates your magazine’s long time principle in apolitical, unbiased and objective coverage of important issues in both natural and human world. Although I find many social aspects in this article interesting and educational, I think the author’s intention to paint a politically biased image on this incidence is unfortunate and wrong.
Therefore, I demand you as an editor of this issue, apologize to readers for the improper publication of the article, The Other Tibet .
Sincerely yours,
Dr He, Ph.D.
