A lone border patrol officer peers through his bin

ALASHANKO PASS, CHINA: A lone border patrol officer peers through his binoculars from his border outpost 18 August 2000 at Alshanko Pass, a key border crossing between Kazahkstan and China's historically troubled Xinjiang Province. Officials in China's ethnic minority regions are hoping that the central government's policy to economically develop China's western regions will help contain continuing ethnic and religious strife. Southern Xinjiang has long been a hotbed of Uighur separatism and pro-Muslim religious groups who oppose the growing influx of the ethnic Han Chinese to the region, despite the economic development of the last 20 years.
