Chinese Government Strengthens its Presence in Eastern Turkistan

Chinese Communist regime has strengthened considerably its presence in Eastern Turkistan over last 10 years. Presently the overall number of the military personnel in Eastern Turkistan is over 1 million people. Every year the retired soldiers who were recruited from inner parts of China do not return. These reservists rather stay in Eastern Turkistan work in the military construction unit in Eastern Turkistan. The total number of such reservists, present army personnel and police troops exceeds actually 2 million 300 thousand people.

What is more, the Chinese regime labeled the local people as “ Uyghur and Muslim terrorists” and on the pretext of September 11 events they brought to Turkistan air force troops. They build and/or reconstructed 8 airbases in various places. What are the real objectives of the Chinese government? Are they really into the fight against the “Muslim terrorists”? The answer is no. It is obvious to anyone who has some knowledge of the history of Eastern Turkistan-Chinese relations that the real purpose is fascist oppression and exploitation.

The Chinese regime has done everything possible to preserve its fascist occupation of Eastern Turkistan. They always stood with the well-equipped and well-trained army against its slaves in Eastern Turkistan.
The Chinese rulers do their best to disguise its fascist ruling as the decent fight against terrorism. They use an international struggle under the leadership of the USA against the terrorism as an excuse to link the Uyghur fighters for national liberation with Osama bin Laden and the Taliban. The Chinese government has intensified recently its harsh measures against the Uyghur liberation movement activities, its policy of “strong attack” launched in 1996? Policy of ethnic cleansing and oppression of all dissidents and decent believers.

The Eastern Turkistan people protest actively against the fascist totalitarian oppression and dictatorship.

The Chinese government aims at several goals when it deploys its numbered troops in Eastern Turkistan. After the break-up of the Soviet Union the Russian influence in Central Asia subsequently weakened.

The Chinese government grew concerned about possible backup to Uyghurs from their Turkic brethren – Uzbeks, Kazakhs, Kirghiz etc. The so-called “Shanghai Cooperation Organization” was established with a formal objective of fighting terrorism, and with a true plan dividing Turkic peoples and intensifying oppression of Uyghurs.

Over 7 million Uyghurs suffer oppression, persecutions, arresting and punishment before the whole world community. The Chinese government, army and police will ultimately fail in suppressing the will of the Uyghur people for liberation, self-determination and independence!

Long live the national independence!
