And who says the government's not doing good things!

Michael Manning has posted two beautiful panoramic shots of Xinjiang on his blog.
Remember, this is a humorous (ha ha funny) caption contest, not a space to vent all the frustration with Central Asian politics you've been storing inside for years and have only learned how to release since finding this awesome blog. (Diatribes and manifestos are still welcome on other posts.)
The New Dominion looks at the flawed perspective the media provides when it elects to analyze Xinjiang through the Tibet lens, by considering historical, cultural, and geographical factors.
