China has finally admitted that its security forces did indeed kill rioters, including Uyghurs, in the recent clashes in western China:

The rioters, the criminals, continued to act in an extremely vicious manner, insisted on having their way, and continued to threaten the lives of others…

It was at this point that our public security forces and military police decisively fired. They shot dead 12 rioters. Of them, three died on site, and nine died as people tried to save them.

An admission of fault by the Chinese authorities calls for a toast!
