Communist China enforces its military presence on the border with India

Communist China, which continues brutal oppression of the people of Eastern Turkistan, simultaneously strengthens its military presence on its borders with neighbors. The Chinese government has always been known for dropping out sweet words of friendship and cooperation while in actually developing and implementing the mean plans against its neighbors.

The Communist China’s rulers built up a military alliance known as the Shanghai cooperation organization. Taking advantage of temporary economic and social problems of Central Asian states China attempts to preserve its occupation of Eastern Turkistan. China also established a military alliance with Pakistan, country adjacent to Eastern Turkistan. Not only it backed Pakistan with military aid, it also supplied it with modern technology and equipment. Pakistan received this aid on one condition – total refusal from supporting national liberation fighters of Eastern Turkistan.

The Chinese built up a military airbase in the western part of Eastern Turkistan. One wonders: against whom? One who knows history well would easily find a proper answer. Chinese rulers blame the people of Eastern Turkistan as “terrorists”, “separatists”, and crack down on any dissent in a fascist manner. In order to preserve its imperial ruling in Eastern Turkistan, China cause a big trouble to India.

As many people know, in the 60s China had several military border conflicts with India. Until presently the border Chinese-Indian disputes have not yet been resolved. In the Kashmir province the situation has recently seriously aggravated. On the one hand, China gives full support to Pakistan; on the other hand, it built up an airbase in the Hotan region, which is located near the Indian border. Our source in Eastern Turkistan gives more details on this situation.

The “ Hotan news” Chinese newspaper announced on January 1,2002 in its editorial that “ the air show to celebrate the reconstruction the Hotan airport will be organized on 28 Dec 2001». According to the newspaper, government officials such as Deputy chairman Wanggjinxiang, the deputy commander of the air force the Lanzhou military region Fengjingchuen and other high rank commanders participated. Wang gave a speech: “The airbase in Hotan will reconstrcut3ed and its territory will be enlarged. This is a contribution to the development of economy and improving the national security.” So one can draw a right conclusion from such statements. The high ranking Chinese official has made clear the Chinese plans. According to other reliable sources from the Homeland, the airplanes are patrolling the air in Eastern Turkistan in Hotan-Kashgar area, as of today (2002/2/6-7).

Despite any military actions that the Chinese government undertake to strengthen its fascist oppression of the Eastern Turkistan people, the will and desire of Uyghurs for liberation will not weaken in any way.
