Today Marks the Independence Day of East Turkistan

After 1884, the Qing Dynasty invaded East Turkistan and renamed it Xinjiang Province, meaning “New Territory.”

In 1933, the people of East Turkistan established the First East Turkistan Islamic Republic, successfully resisting and defeating the Kuomintang (Chinese Nationalist Party) forces at that time. Later, in 1944, following another successful resistance against the Kuomintang, the Second East Turkistan Republic was founded.

However, as a result of political conspiracies among global superpowers, Communist China invaded East Turkistan in October 1949, completely colonizing the region. In 1955, the People’s Republic of China renamed the territory the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, effectively erasing East Turkistan’s independent identity.

Over the past 141 years, the people of East Turkistan have endured systematic oppression and repeated attempts to erase their national and cultural identity. From the Qing Dynasty to the Kuomintang, and later the Chinese Communist regime, successive rulers have imposed policies of mass killings, forced assimilation, sterilization, forced marriages, and large-scale illegal Han Chinese migration intended to alter the region’s demographic structure.

Despite this ongoing genocide, the people of East Turkistan have never abandoned their struggle for freedom and national liberation. The independence of East would not only restore justice and dignity to its people but also bring stability, prosperity, and peace to neighboring countries, while helping to counter China’s growing hegemony across the globe.

I had a conversation with a Chinese woman recently. She asked me,

“Where are you from?”

I answered without hesitation,
“I was born in Chinese-occupied East .”

My only intention was to speak the truth — without any propaganda or political agenda.

She paused, then replied,
“What?”

I repeated my words firmly, in both English and Chinese,

“Yes — Chinese-occupied East Turkistan.”

She responded,
“You mean ?”

I said,
“Yes. That’s what it’s called in your language. But we call it East Turkistan.”

I was speaking to her in Chinese — my words were clear and direct.

Then — quite deliberately — she asked,
“Is that ?”

I replied, calmly and clearly,
“No. Istanbul has absolutely nothing to do with this. Turkish people don’t even speak Chinese. I was born in East Turkistan.”

That’s when she tried to change the subject. She said,
“Well… white people invaded the United States.”

Her face turned red, and her voice cracked — like a broken speaker.

I stopped her immediately.
“Wait a moment. We’re not talking about the United States. This isn’t about America or white people. This is about the Uyghur people — and other Turkic peoples as well.”

She then tried to justify the Chinese colonization of East Turkistan, claiming that the East Turkistani people’s struggle for liberation is influenced or orchestrated by the United States and Türkiye.

If you look at Chinese propaganda aimed at foreign audiences, this narrative is repeated constantly — that the East Turkistan independence movement is simply a proxy of the U.S. or , created to destabilize China. Sadly, many governments with deep economic ties to accept and echo this narrative.

And the irony?
She lives in San Francisco — a city known for its values of liberty, human rights, and open dialogue. Yet she defended the occupation of my homeland, while trying to shift the blame onto the West.

If I had said these words publicly inside China — if I had even uttered the phrase “Chinese colonization of East Turkistan” — I would be sentenced to life in prison.
But here, in a free country — in Europe — I speak the truth without fear.

I tell my story not to provoke hatred, but to expose how Communist China has brainwashed ordinary citizens — training them to twist the truth, deny reality, and promote the false narrative of the state.
