Beijing News, 2007-07-08
A carefully worded editorial in the Beijing News calls for all ethnic groups to exercise calm and refrain from giving in to angry desires for revenge in reaction to recent violence in the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region. In contrast to many internet postings and popular sentiments in China, the editorial purposefully avoids stereotypical characterizations of any ethnic group or religion, reminding readers that all ethnic groups and religions hold “truth, good and beauty” as common human virtues. It states that “the final solution to the 7·5 incident is through investigation by judicial departments and, with the facts as a foundation and the law as a guide, imposing sanctions upon criminals.”
