Beijing, Apr 8 (AP) China said today it was "deeply concerned" about the violent uprising in neighbouring Kyrgyzstan, where opposition leaders said they had seized power after clashes that left dozens dead.

The impoverished mountainous nation, which shares a 858-kilometre border with China, is a gateway to other energy-rich Central Asian countries where China, Russia and the US are competing fiercely for dominance. Kyrgyzstan is also a ready market for cheap Chinese-made goods.

"As a friendly neighbour, we are deeply concerned over the development of the situation in the Kyrgyz capital and other areas, and we sincerely hope that order can be restored as soon as possible and relevant issues can be resolved through legal channels," Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu said in a statement.

An opposition coalition in Kyrgyzstan proclaimed an interim government today

Its been a pretty bloody coup and the country is in shambles. The US lead NATO airbage is shutdown, thus causing resupply issues for Afghanistan, and the country's location is pretty strategic for energy flow... we'll see where this goes

Well relations are definitely a lot better than before. Especially compared to Cold War times. A lot of business relations now too.

The government tried to double the power rates. Something about cap and trade and the green economy.

The people spoke.

All people want to be free.

I wish them well.

Agreed

I heard that electricity was privatized and prices skyrocketed like the ENRON California scam.

IMO we're not hearing much about it because its a backlash against artificially inflated energy prices... least we should hear about how this crap is being tried everywhere at the same time and learn from others on how to deal with corruption. Its like the riots in Bolivia over privatization of the public water supply, we barely heard anything about that too.

I wish the peple well and hope they put the crooks in jail

Whenever I read one of your post I am reminded how you do not know what in the hell you are talking about and why I should just scroll past it.
