They are more afraid of the han chinese than the reverse.

The han chinese still make up of 41% of the population due to migration

Uyghur - 45%
Han - 41%
Kazakh - 7%
Hui - 5%
Kyrgyz - 0.9%
Mongol - 0.8%
Dongxiang - 0.3%
Tajik - 0.2%
Xibe - 0.2%

The best time to visit is May to early October as the weather is mild.

Since you are visiting Xinjiang, you might as well visit the Silk Road which
covers several provinces and regions in China, from Xian in the east to Gansu Province and Xinjiang Province in the west.
