Sheep to Be Transferred to Winter Pastures in Xinjiang
Recent adverse weather conditions have hindered herdsmen in northwest China's Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region from starting migration of their livestock to winter pastures, leaving 90,000 sheep to be further transferred.
The snow and rain together with gale have brought potential safety dangers for migrating the livestock. But the inadequate grass of the autumn pastures compelled some herdsmen to begin their migration despite of the bad weather conditions.
The migration peak is expected to come after Nov. 21 when the snow and rain stop. We have migrated 41,000 sheep so far. We will migrate the remaining 90,000 sheep after the bad weather, said the head of Animal Husbandry Bureau of Huocheng County of Xinjiang's Ili Kazak Autonomous Prefecture.
The local traffic department has gotten workers and machinery ready round the clock to ensure the passages for the migration to be smooth.

Court Says Insufficient Evidence for Pastor Lou Yuanqis Case, Yet Continues to Keep Him in Prison
March 6, 2009
XINJIANG ChinaAid just learned that Pastor Lou Yuanqi of Uygur Autonomous Region received a verdict of insufficient evidence and his case was sent back to the Public Security Bureau (PSB) by the prosecutor. The court said the facts used in the case are not clear, the evidence is insufficient. Despite this ruling, Pastor Lou continues to be imprisoned.
Pastor Lou stood trial on December 15, 2008 on charges of utilizing superstition to undermine the law. Sources say the real reason for the charge was to stop Lous house church from meeting in his home. After Lous trial, his daughter Lou Tiantian, 18, was beaten by court police when she tried to speak with her father as he was being put into a police car. Lou Tiantian was taken to the hospital where she received medical treatment, then was released the same night.
During Lous trial, the presiding judge acknowledged the persecution in Xinjiang. However, witnesses reported that the judge stated, If the Christians have more religious freedom in areas outside Xinjiang, they should consider leaving Xinjiang because Xinjiang is special.
Pastor Lou was first detained on May 17, 2008 at 1 p.m. in Qingshuihe town, Huocheng county of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. At 11:30 p.m. the same day, Pastor Lou was transferred to Huocheng County Detention Center. Pastor Lous suffers from hepatitis B and the harsh prison conditions worsen his health.
Pastor Lous wife, Wang Wenxiu, his children and church continue to meet despite Pastor Lous imprisonment. When told that Christians around the world were praying for their family, Wang asked friends to pass on this message to the international community: Please thank them for us because this [imprisonment of Pastor Lou] is Gods best will. It is His promise. It is the grace of the Lord. How could we be worthy of awakening so many brothers and sisters prayers for us? The Cross of Jesus encourages us to move forward. I am very joyful and full of gratitude for all of the prayer support.

SUMMARY
=======
Xinjiang (Uyghur: شىنجاڭ; SASM/GNC: Xinjang; Chinese: 新疆; pinyin: Xīnjiāng; formerly romanised as Sinkiang), officially the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR), is a provincial-level autonomous region of China in the northwest of the country. It is the largest Chinese administrative division and the eighth largest country subdivision in the world, spanning over 1.6 million km2 (640,000 square miles). Xinjiang contains the disputed territory of Aksai Chin, which is administered by China and claimed by India. Xinjiang borders the countries of Mongolia, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India. The rugged Karakoram, Kunlun, and Tian Shan mountain ranges occupy much of Xinjiang's borders, as well as its western and southern regions. Xinjiang also borders Tibet Autonomous Region and the provinces of Gansu and Qinghai. The most well-known route of the historical Silk Road ran through the territory from the east to its northwestern border. In recent decades, abundant oil and mineral reserves have been found in Xinjiang, and it is currently China's largest natural gas-producing region.
It is home to a number of ethnic groups, including the Uyghur, Han, Kazakhs, Tibetans, Hui, Tajiks, Kyrgyz, Mongols and Russians. More than a dozen autonomous prefectures and counties for minorities are in Xinjiang. Older English-language reference works often refer to the area as Chinese Turkestan. Xinjiang is divided into the Dzungarian Basin in the north and the Tarim Basin in the south by a mountain range. Only about 9.7% of Xinjiang's land area is fit for human habitation.With a documented history of at least 2,500 years, a succession of people and empires have vied for control over all or parts of this territory. The territory came under the rule of the Qing dynasty in the 18th century; which was later replaced by the Republic of China government. Since 1949, it has been part of the People's Republic of China following the Chinese Civil War. In 1954, Xinjiang Bingtuan was set up to strengthen the border defense against the Soviet Union, and also promote the local economy. In 1955, Xinjiang was turned into an autonomous region from a province. In the last decades, the separatist conflict and radical Islam influence has plagued the region, with occasional terrorist attacks and clashes between separatist and government forces.
