I am sorry to say this! But you are pro Han。。。

[thisisyourwakeup]

@wowwewon I see and would you be happy if I was ant Han. I am neither pro nor anti Han, however I am pro common sense and anti nationalism. The fact that Kadeer bases her operations near the CIA in Virginia says it all, The fact the US carpet bpmbs and kills Muslims worldwide but still selects a few token Muslims as allies such as the pre Taliban Mujahideen, The KLA and Uygur nationalists. and Chechens. The only reason uyghurs are supported by US military is because they hate China.

truth is that in many ways minorities in China have some advantages over ethnic Han, for example they can have more children, they can carry ceremonial weapons and can enter University with lower scores. So in some ways its actually the Han who are discriminated against

The Uyghur people are Chinese as well. "Chinese" is not a single ethnicity, but 56 nationalities of China.

@MrOldMajor

I think the term Chinese has both an ethnic and a nationality meaning

some Chinese people are Chinese but not all Chinese people are Chinese

i see your point though

[thisisyourwakeup]

i would ask Uyygurs who are proud of Turkey and use Turkey as a base to investigatethe Kurdish politician Leyla Zana. I really would like to hear from some Uyghur separatists on if they support the crackdown on Kurds , do they support the banning of the Kurdish language in Turkey and do they agree with the USA that it was Muslims who carried out 9/11

As you ask for Turkish and American help I would hope the activists can let me know their opinions

[972928andrew]

The East Turkestan Movement group has been classified as Terrorist groups by the Untied Nations. I agree and I am happy for your understanding on our circumstances. Do you have the figures on the presentage of Uyghur who believe in a Independence state.

@thisisyourwakeup During the early 20th century where China was still under Nationalist government control, the Soviet Union organized secessionist to divide China in order to gain diplomatic victory against China's KMT. The uprising was soon crushed by the KMT's Muslim devision. The Lanzhou Military District has a huge numbers of Uyghur soldiers and there were a few different Uyghur Generals in China.

@thisisyourwakeup Northern Han has relatively similar genetic with the Uyghurs. Turkic empire expanded their territory and has strongly influences on Uyghurs. There are currently 261 languages spoken in China, in China we called ourselves 中华民族 which means united ethnics of middle earth kingdom.

@thisisyourwakeup Its good that you think Chinese should live in harmony with Uyghur. But just to let you know, Chinese is a inappropriate way of calling people of China, Uyghur should also be considered as Chinese since they have been living there for 1000 of years, the things is that Uyghur moved to Xinjiang from Mongolia during early AD. Majority of the people in China are called Han,

@MrOldMajor

the constitution also grants the rights of freedom of speech, of the press, of assembly, of association, of procession and of demonstration, yet its only on paper
