As Chinese President Xi Jinping completed his tour of Xinjiang province last week and vowed “resolute measures” against “violent terrorists,” explosions tore through crowds at Urumqi’s largest train station.

The suicide bombing in the provincial capital of China’s far western Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region left three dead (including two perpetrators) and 79 injured.

This is just the latest in a string of coordinated attacks and deadly civil disturbances that have killed more than 300 since the outbreak of mass riots in Xinjiang in the northern summer of 2009. Meanwhile, Tibet and neighbouring provinces have been rocked by a spate of more than 125 self-immolations in the same period.
