Other places in Xinjiang and elsewhere in China have offered rewards in the past, though usually not as much as being offered in Hotan.
BEIJING Authorities in a violence prone area of China`s western Xinjiang region are offering 100 million yuan ($14.5 million) in rewards for anti-terror tips, state media said, a policy that coincides with a dramatic rise in regional security spending.
"The awards for reporting violent terrorists and religious extremists establishing ties, or inciting or swearing oaths of holy war, or clues on the organization of illegal cross-border entry and exit are 3 million yuan to 2 million yuan," the newspaper said.
China routinely denies any repression in Xinjiang.
The policy includes payment for "absolutely confidential" tips on crimes such as supplying guns and inciting crowds to petition over grievances.
