According to our
sources, this year Chinese explorers have been leading
mass picking of herbs in Eastern Turkistan, in the
special resort and wild nature places. The sandy regions
of Eastern Turkistan have been polluted drastically by
industrial activities. Although the local government and
some Uyghur farmers complained about prohibited
activities, no one listened to their complaints. The
Chinese masters take around 100 Uyghur manual laborers
from the labor market in Urumchi and take them on trucks
to work in harsh conditions, digging resources and
picking herbs. These herbs serve as a natural barrier to
spreading sand in the region and their extermination
causes serious environmental problems. |
