BEIJING (Reuters) - There is still a problem with ethnic unrest in China's far western region of Xinjiang though the situation is much improved on previous years, its top government official said on Monday.

Xinjiang's Communist Party boss Wang Lequan added that "overseas forces" were helping stir up the region's problems, although he did not elaborate. "Xinjiang is a very complicated place, with especially complicated surroundings," Wang told reporters on the sidelines of a Communist Party Congress in Beijing. http://www.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idUSPEK31057020071015?sp=true
