BEIJING - CHINA says it expects new attacks by separatists seeking independence for the traditionally Turkic Muslim region of Xinjiang after deadly ethnic violence there last year.

Despite massive pressure from security forces, separatists will continue to refine their methods and seek opportunities, the region's governor, Mr Nur Bekri, told reporters yesterday.

'They will not easily accept failure. They will step up their separate attempts and change their ways and means to make new trouble for us,' Mr Bekri said.

Speaking at a rare news conference on the sidelines of the national legislative session in Beijing, Mr Bekri repeated China's claims that deadly July riots in Xinjiang's capital, Urumqi, were orchestrated by overseas activists for the rights of Uighurs, Xinjiang's majority ethnic group.

China has provided little direct evidence to back up the accusation, and those activists have denied involvement in the violence, saying they believe in a peaceful struggle for greater Uighur rights.

Nearly 200 people were killed and 1,600 wounded in the riots, according to the government, in the worst ethnic unrest in China in decades.
