UIGHUR CARD TO BREAK UP CHINA — REPUBLISHED

There was an amazing article written in 1997 that sheds light into the
American/Western attacks on China using Uyghurs as geopolitical pawns. The
article is in PDF format, which is hard to read. So, I am summarizing the
article and copy/pasting the entire article. The original article appeared on
LaRouche Pub’s EIR magazine. Here is the link.

Once you understand history, the present makes sense. American/British
imperialism and their ruthless manipulations playbook never change.

Summary

 * 1997 article: “Uyghur Card to Break Up China” by Joseph Brewda

 * The West funded radical Uyghurs who wanted to blow up “New Silk Road” trains
   in Xinjiang

 * “Uyghur Liberation Front” => offices in US/UK

 * “Turkestan” & “Uyghur genocide” were talking points in 1994

 * “Chinese Chechnya” — term used by US state Dept!

 * Terrorist bombings were already happening in China in 1990s, thanks to Uyghur
   separatists, who claimed responsibility.

Some excerpts from the article:

 1. Since 1992, Xinjiang has acquired global strategic significance, as the
    route of the Eurasian Continental Bridge (which later came to be known as
    One Belt One Road or Belt and Road Initiative).
 2. Sir William Peters, a former British deputy high commissioner in Bombay and
    career intelligence specialist, who is today chairman of the Tibet Society
    and board member of the Royal Society of Asian Affairs, the primary British
    intelligence outfit targeting China.
 3. In 1994, Lord Avebury sent an open letter to the British Foreign Office
    demanding that it “save the peoples of Eastern Turkestan,” who were “faced
    with national extinction.”
 4. In an interview with Voice of America on Feb.14, the retired career State
    Department official, now with Kissinger at the Center for Strategic and
    International Studies, predicted that Xinjiang could become a “Chinese
    Chechnya.”
 5. “The Chinese are building railroads, but the people are opposing the
    railroad, and will destroy the railroad. This is just like the American
    movies on the history of California, What the Indians did, in fighting the
    railroads, is what we will do” — leader of the U.S. branch of the Uighur
    Liberation Front, Gulamettin Pahta.
 6. In October 1994, Uighur liberationist leader Erkin Alptekin addressed a
    conference in New York City of the “Allied Committee of the Peoples of
    Eastern Turkestan, Inner Mongolia, Tibet.”

Okay, now the entire article:

‘Uighur card’ used to break up China by Joseph Brewda

Since February, the Xinjiang Autonomous Region of north west China has been the
target of a series of disturbances and bombings, carried out-by their own
claims-by “Uighur” separatist groups attempting to split the region from China.
What is at stake in Xinjiang is a project of strategic importance: the Second
Euro-Asian Continental Bridge, the “new Silk Road” China-to-West Asia-and-Europe
rail line which opened in 1992. This project, at the core of all current
projects to develop the Eurasian landmass, was only finally completed, a century
after the first Europe-to-Asia line was built in Russia, when the connection
between the Chinese rail system and that of Kazakhstan in Central Asia was
finished.

Xinjiang is being targeted by foreign-steered and foreign-headquartered
separatist movements claiming to represent the Turkic-Ianguage-speaking Uighur
“people” of Xinjiang. Although in 1949, Xinjiang’s population was approximately
95% Uighur, today, about half of the 16 million population are of Chinese
origin. Xinjiang also has China’s largest deposits of oil and natural gas,
uranium, gold, and other raw materials. Since 1992, Xinjiang has acquired global
strategic significance, as the route of the Continental Bridge. The Chinese
government is now building two more branches of the “Land-Bridge”: a second
connection to Kazakhstan, and the first rail line to the city of Kashi, the
Chinese terminus of the Pakistan-China Karakoram Highway.

The separatists make no bones about the fact, that these strategic rail lines
are their target. The leader of the U.S. branch of the Uighur Liberation Front,
Gulamettin Pahta, told EIR on March 11, that the “Continental Bridge” is a
Chinese “imperialist” plot that must be blocked. “They are building railroads,
but the people are opposing the railroad, and will destroy the railroad. This is
just like the American movies on the history of California, What the Indians
did, in fighting the railroads, is what we will do. The same thing is happening.
Every train coming into eastern Turkestan is bringing in Chinese. This must be
stopped,” Pahta said.

Just how “successful” the separatists are in fighting the railroads, is
questionable. Western press outlets, in an effort to inflame the situation, have
repeatedly given all kinds of figures for casualties in disturbances in
Xinjiang, and a bomb explosion in Beijing, numbers which Chinese accounts have
not confirmed. However, spokesmen for the Uighur Liberation Party and the
Eastern Turkestan Liberation Organization have claimed credit for the violence.

Moreover, efforts by the British to inflame relations between China and the
Central Asian Republics, by staging some of their “East Turkistan” separatist
actions out of states bordering on China, have also been dealt a setback.

President Nursultan Nazarbayev of Kazakhstan, fresh from discussions in Beijing
about rail and energy cooperation with China, held a Feb. 22 press conference,
in which he denounced the idea of secessionism. “So-called minorities live in
Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Tibet, the south, and in other regions of China. Their
aspiration for self-determination is understandable. However, we can in no way
welcome the idea of separatism.There are 6,000 peoples and ethnic groups in the
world.If all of them were to decide to declare sovereignty one day, then
numerous helpless, dwarfish countries would emerge on the planet, along with the
existing powerful countries that are striving for development and prosperity,
and this would mean chaos, permanent wars, and endless conflicts.”

Gulamettin Pahta is a member of an international network of Uighur liberationist
groups deployed by the British and Dutch monarchies’ Unrepresented Nations and
Peoples Organization (UNPO), the British Royal Society of Asian Affairs, and
Lord Avebury’s House of Lords human rights mercenaries.The UNPO has trained the
Uighur liberationists in “diplomatic skills” at the Australian National
University, according to its literature, through grants provided by the Dutch
Foreign

Ministry.After World War II, the Uighur separatists were led by Isa Yusuf
Alptekin, who led a revolt in Xinjiang in 1945. Today, the leadership of the
network has passed to his son, Erkin Alptekin, who is also chairman of the UNPO.

The British command structure

In addition to the Anglo-Dutch UNPO, which has targeted much of Siberia, as well
as large sections of Central Asia and western China for break-up into ethnically
divided mini states, EIR has identified a complex of largely London-head
quartered intelligence fronts, all pushing the destabilization of China.

One of the most important British case officers for the Uighur independence
movement is Sir William Peters, a former British deputy high commissioner in
Bombay and career intelligence specialist, who is today chairman of the Tibet
Society and board member of the Royal Society of Asian Affairs, the primary
British intelligence outfit targeting China. In 1991, he wrote an optimistic
forecast of Uighur and Tibetan rebellion, after a tour of Xinjiang, in the
society’s journal, Asian Affairs:

“To the south and east [of XinjiangJlies Tibet.Stories of the Tibetan resistance
filter through to Kashgar [Kashi] and its neighbors. To the northeast, Uighurs
see the moves toward multipolarity in Outer Mongolia and hear about unrest among
Mongols in Inner Mongolia. On the western side …there is no telling what
direction semi-independent republics in Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzia, and
Uzbekistan might move vis-a-vis China, If there is any truth in the story of
military help from Kyrgyz across the border for their fellow tribesmen in
Xinjiang. this thought will be all the stronger. A few Uighurs have heard of the
Joint Committee for the Manchu, Mongol, East Turkmen, and Tibetan Peoples and
are particularly anxious to obtain by whatever means possible the Committee’s
publication One Voice. They have some links with Isa Alptekin. leader of the
Turkestan Liberation Movement. It is noteworthy that Alptekin’s son Erkin
Alptekin took an active part in the International Convention on Tibet in London
from 6 to 8 July [1990].

“The conjunction of revived minority discontent on both national and religious
grounds, of improved access across the frontier to fellow tribesmen, of major
political change in neighboring countries, and of the sustained world reaction
against genocide, colonialism, and apartheid, creates a situation in Central
Asia in which radical change is just possible. The present campaign to arouse
world opinion on the subject of genocide, colonialism, and apartheid in China
could be the lever which pries out from a Politburo due for change radical
concessions in areas such as Xinjiang and Tibet.”

The House of Lords and Foreign Office speak

Lord Avebury, chairman of the British Parliamentary Human Rights Group, is
another controller of the separatists. In 1994, Lord Avebury sent an open letter
to the British Foreign Office demanding that it “save the peoples of Eastern
Turkestan,” who were “faced with national extinction.” In 1995, Lord A vebury
told EIR that he was pessimistic that Britain could be successful in defending
the Uighurs and Tibetans from Chinese efforts to exterminate them, simply
through
human rights campaigns, implying that he favored more aggressive London
involvement in the destabilization of Xinjiang.

Lord Ennals, a former British Foreign Secretary, was, until his recent death,
another top patron of the Uighur and Tibetan independence movements. He was also
a leader of the UNPO, Martin Ennals, Lord Ennal’ s brother, controls Amnesty
International, the British Foreign Office front which oversees international
propaganda campaigns against China, over alleged suppression of the Uighurs and
Tibetans.

American ‘cousins’ weigh in

Among the so-called “Americans” who have joined the Anglo-Dutch drumbeat to
destabilize the New Silk Road” through secessionist violence in Xinjiang, is one
of Henry Kissinger’s leading State Department proteges, Dr. Helmut Sonnenfeldt.
In an interview with Voice of America on Feb. 14, the retired career State
Department official, ow with Kissinger at the Center for Strategic and
International Studies, predicted that Xinjiang could become a “Chinese Chechnya.

Sonnenfeldt gloated, “I think the Chinese have tried to observe very closely
what happened in Chechnya, in part because they may be conscious of the
possibility that something of that sort might arise in their own domain.”
Sonnenfeldt cautioned that, should such an uprising gain steam, “it needs to be
dealt with harshly and rapidly,” or else China will be
forced to grant the region autonomy-precisely the British strategic plan.

Elsie Walker is another leading propagandist devoted to “rousing world opinion”
on Xinjiang. A cousin of former U.S. President Sir George Herbert Walker Bush,
she heads the U.S.-based Asians for Democracy, which also mobilizes on behalf of
the Tibetan cause. In October 1994, Uighur liberationist leader Erkin Alptekin
addressed a conference in New York City of the “Allied Committee of the Peoples
of Eastern Turkestan, Inner Mongolia, Tibet,” organized by Walker’s outfit.

In its official announcement of the conference, the Dalai Lama’s so-called
Tibetan government-in-exile declared: “This conference is being organized to let
the international public know that in the uncertainty, instability, and even
turmoil in China, that may result from the death of strongman Deng Xiaoping, the
struggle to regain the freedom of these three peoples [Tibetans, Uighurs, and
Mongols] from communist China domination will be pursued relentlessly.”
According to both Chinese and foreign news accounts, on the day of Deng
Xiaoping’s funeral. three bombings took place in Xinjiang.

The proposed map of a China broken into pieces, which the separatists
distributed at the conference, leaves no doubt what their London masters are
attempting.
