GMD to ensure opposition would not arise
● Xinjiang = Ethnically mixed, 80% muslim Uyghurs , became security buffer zone for
the PRC but also ensured no opposition would arise from differing ethnic minorities

communist rule in 1951, brought in large numbers of Chinese Han settlers to diminish
tibetan culture

Terror

➔ 1951 extended to urban areas when military official was shot at
concert in Jinan = arrested 17,000
