This has nothing to do with Turkey... you are not worth anyone's time to debate as a matter of fact. Nothing to say for yourself over your government's treatment of your fellow citizens so you sling mud on the Saudis, Turks, Israelis? What is wrong with you? People like you will continue to keep China isolated because of your shallow understanding of geo-politics and communist instinct to trash a discussion of openness and dialogue with idiocy and propaganda. Communism is almost dead, just you and North Korea to deal with, the Chinese and Korean people will be liberated soon and freed God Willing.
Kharian, this has nothing to do with "Communism", but you know that already. In fact, during "Communist" heydays, Soviets had ideological as well as practical control over Central Asia - way beyond simple military tutelage.
Many, many (if not a majority) of the Soviet troops that descended on Afghanistan in the 80s were "Soviet Turks", or rather "Soviet Turko-Mongos" from CAR ... can't give you source, and feel free to dispute if you want.
It's only in the post cold-war context with resurgent ethno-nationalist awareness, that some things have come to the fore more than before. It has happened during prior "shake-ups", for "there is nothing new under the sun", as after both World Wars.
PRC's relative opening in the last few years coupled with
apparent lop-sided development (in an East-West direction), reinforced by an unequal distribution of wealth have made ethnic tensions worse.
I don't really give two hoots about your "commie" this or that, except for its effect on the direction of the thread. The truth is that there is an undercurrent today in the PRC (to some extent in Russia as well) that lament the falling out of vogue of their former "socialist ideals".
However, just like the map you threw out in the other thread which, in all honesty, contributed chiefly to its demise (by no means do I hold you "solely responsible" for I was hasty in my response, too, in retrospect), your "commie" this and that
will only lead you and the discussion on Uighur future further and further away from the productive path.
Now I suspect you rather prefer Antarctica over the inhabited lands of Eurasia for a reason ...
