According to the latest local and international news reports, there has been a "terrorist attack" at a border post near Kashgar in Xinjiang Province, China. 16 Chinese police officials are reportedly killed.
Kashgar is on our itinerary, as a final post before travelling into Kyrgyzstan.
For those of you who might be concerned for our safety: don't worry about this too much. We are aware of the situation and we will keep ourselves duly informed. And obviously we aren't going to be in any anti-Chinese manifestations, nor do we intend to make bold political statements when travelling there. Moreover, chances of a new attack are generally believed to be low - and even if there is some attack, they will be directed against Han Chinese officials, not against foreigners.
So: no worries!
