The document summarizes the negative impacts of nuclear weapons testing conducted by China in the 20th century, particularly in the Xinjiang region. It discusses the lack of safety precautions, resulting deaths and health issues among local residents and workers involved in uranium mining and testing. It criticizes the Chinese government's repression of objections to the tests and denial of the scale of impacts. It notes ongoing effects on the environment and calls for more support and compensation for victims and their families.

1. Under the Glory
'I was surprised to see how liberal Chaijing is, she can express her discontent easily. For us, we
lived under the dome, the dome who persisted above us for 40 odd years, a dome made of glory,
a dome brought years of pain.' cried Yangzhenggen, an veteran in 8023 troop after he watched
the documentary.
In the 20th century, a number of nations were involved in nuclear weapons testing, including the
UK. However, in China, the absence of safety precautions and the repression of objection
outweighed other countries. Consequently, many people got killed by nuclear pollution. And
contamination partly contributes to endless rebellion of Ugur people from 1990s as well.
Kaomochi, a physics professor from Sapporo University conducted a project called lobbo project
to discern the nuclear pollution in XinJiang Province. He built up a module which based on data
of local wind velocity.The experiment showed that in Xinjiang, about 190,000 died and 1.2 million
have leukemia, malignancy and deformed babies.And that was caused by atomic testing.
Although the death toll has not been confirmed, as no further evidence is available, the shortage
of basic protection is beyond doubt. This is best illustrated with an example. Huangyanggou was
selected as the test site. But it is located within 270 kms of Bosten Lake, which serves as the
source of drinking water for millions.
Nuclear tests have given rise to destruction of the local environment. In Huangyanggou, any
visitors will notice the dead silence, withering of plants .Furthermore, no trace of animals can
be spotted in this area for thirty odd years. Now the only inhabitants there are human beings,
their persistence to stay is obviously not out of passion for the land, Instead ,they are confined by
household registration system, which signifies it is illegal for them to settlein somewhere else.
In fact, their ancestors began to have a taste of nuclear test a few decades ago. When the
experiment took place, it was normal for citizens to be ignorant ,as CCP officials in 1950s can
sense spies everywhere. If everyone learns about the testing, there is assumption that potential
enemies could wreck it.Also, as citizens, people should be ready to sacrifice their own safety for
the achievement of the country, consequently it is not a big deal whether they get hurt or not.
When we compare the death toll from atomic blasts with that from the cultural revolution, we
may safely get a conclusion it is tradition for people to be killed because of irresponsible decision
by CCP.
Before a superatomic blast, however, people were notified, and this seemed so precious,
especially in a period characterized by its negligence of human dignity. thanks to the severity it
has .However, local people had to embrace the fact that the only thing they could do was to stay
at home and cover any food outside.Accompanying slim measures was an urgent
notice-----people were not informed until one day before the action.

2. Interestingly，While there is no doubt that ecological system has been harmed and people have
to endure side effect of atomic tests generation after generation, many reporters from China
strove to question destructive facts of nuclear weapon .However ,they just keep accusing foreign
scholars of making up facts instead of providing arguments .
Zhou zhouqi, a journalist from Chinese Youth Newspaper ,claimed that the research was totally
groundless. Instead of providing the data that could confront the conclusion of takatashu, which
is the 'authentic' death toll in the vicinity, he accused that takatashu had never been to Xinjiang,
In this way, The disclosure was nothing but 'the attempt to disgrace China by a filthy Japanese'.
Nonetheless, such model construction was the preferrable method in this aspect of research. Due
to the confidential practice of Communist Party, Takatachu will surely face enormous difficulty to
do a survey about the negative impact of nuclear weapon in Xinjiang, As a foreigner , he will
not see any authentic files.
Todi,an ex doctor in Urumuqi railway hospital also received criticism when he stood out to
condemn Chinese nuclear test. He claimed that in 1973 summer, There were four days of sand
storm ,and the sun and moon became invisible during those four days. Later He realized that was
radioactive fall out. Again,Zhouzhouqi accused todi of making up facts, asserting that radioactive
fallout only takes a few hours to reach the ground. But that is not true.
Initially, on a global scale little was known about the dispersion of nuclear fallout .
The AEC assumed that fallout would be dispersed evenly across the globe by atmospheric winds
and gradually settle to the Earth's surface after weeks, months, and even years as worldwide
fallout. Consequently, the evidence that supported zhouzhouqi's argument is inexact.
Interestingly, in official reports of China, Brutality of nuclear test is reflected. Cite Wuyuheng as
an example; He used to work as a pilot of air force .And in 1966, Wuyuheng was assigned to
collect radioactive modules by flying through mushroom cloud only after 30 minutes after the
bomb. Due to lack of relevant techonology,It was impossible for a unmanned vehicle to conduct
the mission. And his success was recorded in official files to illustrate how heronic a CCP member
is. Unfortunately, the record coincides with todi's claim and Takashu's research ,as all of those
proved how brutal nuclear test is in China.
Pollution exists in discovering material for nuclear weapon. As everyone knows, uranium is
essential material for nuclear weapon. Also, The process of uranium mining is still surprisingly
unique. At that time, to dredge mineral resources, pickaxes were applied to dig uranium, instead
of professional apparatus. After being picked up, all the material were ground by rollers which
were originally used for grinding rice. Also, gauze for making beancurd was used for filtering.
Obviously, there is no doubt that the ridiculous process of producing atomic bomb will be
annexed with pollution and waste of uranium resource. Nevertheless, it is regarded that those
are necessary price to pay ,for Chinese did not acquire protective facilities in 1950s.Again,Chinese

3. people need to put interest of government into priority ,according to CCP 's policy.
For uranium workers in the front line, their work was drilling and mining in the cavern where
temperature was about 40 to 50degree centigrade, and miners were always besieged by the
radioactive module. Due to the deficiency of safeguards, most of workers were haunted with
silicosis. For exampIe,in Chenzhou, Hunan Province ,lies a graveyard for 74 workers who died of
silicosis, most of them were in their twenties when they passed away, leaving their families
behind. Unfortunately, they are merely the first group. Many joined afterwards ,sacraficing their
lives in uranium mining. Those workers serves to confront Zhou's claim, as pro government
journalists will never erase the graveyard.
Shenxuemei was very angry when she recalled her 40 years of struggle because of death of her
husband, who was one of the miners,' they are totally forgotten by the country. Their graveyards
were hidden in a field of grass, no one was assigned to tend it, not to mention any monument.'
The destructiveness is illustrated in an indirect way as well when a new notice was released in
2007. The notice informed that staff of 8023 who had been disabled will receive handicapped
veteran benefit, for crew members who do not suffer disability but live in poverty will obtain 100
yuan( about 10 dollars) a month as reward for their contribution, which also reflects nuclear
weapon did give rise to impairment.
Wangkeding, Zhuhuanjin and Gaolianke are scientists who had worked in nuclear test base for
more than forty years. They initiated tourge authorities to give more support to ex 8023 crew.
In 2010, the three disabled senior citizen handed in an petition, declaring need to support the
crew that had been impaired by their devotion. Wangkeding deemed that it is unfair for
indemnity to be appropriated based on the ranks. For personnel in the front are more seriously
afflicted by radioactive substance. Also, They maintained that the criteria for being recognized as
nuclear crippled staff is so blurring that many of the crew are excluded from benefits.
Furthermore, apart from their own disease, their deformed descendents brought workers greater
pain. For their disabled posterity, a certain amount of benefit is still indispensible.
By contrast, every victim of nuclear test in America will receive 75 thousand dollar, and those
beneficiaries not only includes work force in the scientific research, but also local residents, the
children of them who have suffered any form of radioactive disease. While back in China , only
research members areentitled to the money.
From the data above, we can see the official attitude toward victims is less than humane,
However, coverage about compensation in the US sufferer is still on the 'right 'side, blaming the
damages paid to the offspring was only half of the direct casualties. 'Sarcastically, while Chinese
people mourn for the tragic life of Americans, our compatriots are pledging for the same
treatment , but in vain.' Linqing confessed after she saw the story about claiming the cruelty of
US government.

4. In 21st century, it is impossible to cover any government scandal. Also, not an issue will be
successfully solved through taking a blind eye on it. Scourge has already been imposed on people
in Xin jiang, So the attempt to create a illusory cheerful society by suppressing any complaining
voice will not bring glory.Instead, it is a disgrace to national reputation, for a responsible
government will never ignore its people in difficult condition and hamper them from denouncing
their troubles. The best policy is revealing the terrible circumstance and taking effective
measures to victims .
