In this Friday, May 23, 2014 photo, ethnic Chinese and Uighur commuters take a public transport bus in Urumqi, China's northwestern region of Xinjiang. State media say ethnic Chinese and minorities mix easily in Urumqi, capital of the Xinjiang region. But interviews with more than two dozen residents following Thursdayâs bombing at a vegetable market that killed at least 43 people suggest a harsher reality in which the two groups regard each other across a tense gulf of misunderstanding and suspicion. Relations have deteriorated since rioting in 2009 left nearly 200 people dead. Both groups are moving out of ethnically mixed neighborhoods, making an already divided city of 3 million people even more segregated. (AP Photo/Andy Wong)
