Hastings, “Charting the Course of Uyghur Unrest”, in The China Quarterly‎, number 208, →ISSN, →JSTOR, →OCLC, page 900:Although there had been periodic outbreaks for several years beforehand, notably in a protest against nuclear testing in Lop Nur in 1986, the current unrest began with the Baren incident in April 1990, when hundreds of armed Uyghurs invaded Baren, attacked local government offices and for several days fought off the Chinese military sent to stop them.
** 2015, Nick Holdstock, “'Opening Up'”, in China's Forgotten People: Xinjiang, Repression and the Chinese State‎, I.B. Tauris, →ISBN, →OCLC, page 49:In 1984 a small town in south-west Xinjiang was awarded the title of 'Ethnic Unity Model'. The population of Baren, in Akto county, in the Kizilsu Kyrgyz Autonomous Prefecture, was two-thirds Uyghur and slightly less than one-third Kyrgyz, with the remainder Han Chinese, Tajik and Hui. While this kind of ethnic diversity is common in Xinjiang, the authorities seldom miss a chance to stress the value of ‘ethnic unity, The town’s apparent stability made the violent incident that took place there six years later an even greater shock for the government - and it is today the event most Western analysts regard as the first major confrontation between Uyghurs and the Chinese authorities in Xinjiang.
