East-Turkestan aint your land, not historically nor in the present. Its a period of occupation for the people there, it will pass. Every empire and nation will fall out one point, and that time will come for your commie "peoples democratic" state. I aint sensitive, i'm just speaking the hard and painfull truth, not artificial notion of "Xinjiang" is going to change the name and history of that region.
I would say the conditions in China's Xinjiang and Turkey's West Kurdistan are totally different.
In Xinjiang, we are pouring billions of dollars in infra and supra-structures, building new cities, upgrading old ones, providing universal healthcare, education (in national language), and solidifying the national culture through media, entertainment and private business.
In Turkey's Kurdistan, you (by you, I mean
your government only - I do
not address any specific person here) are literally conducting a war, sending heavy military systems upon small cities/towns, putting sharp shooters on top of buildings and playing very ethno-nationalist music, drawing sign on the walls of emptied schools, further agitating people. To give a very dramatic example, Turkish security forces have stripped a Kurdish woman off her clothes and dragged her for miles behind a security vehicle. Your government have killed Kurdish people from 3 month-olds to 80-year olds. All of these are happening as we speak in your Kurdistan region.
Your country is indeed facing a dire situation while in your big cities extremist groups such as ISIS, JN, AS and others are having their best time. How many best friends do you have in your neighborhood? No one in their sane mind would like to go to your country let alone live there. Those few Uighurs who choose to go there, we are only happy about this. We are thankful to Russia for ensuring that they would never be able to come back to China.
I would say Xinjiang is the least of your concerns. We control the situation, rest assured. People are being
assimilated and the young are being
secularized and you can do nothing about it.
We will assimilate them until the last joint in their minds. We have a national rejuvenation and achieving great power status business to complete. Only last year, we added a one-and-a-half Turkey into our GDP. Why would we even take you slightly seriously?
I would suggest respecting each other's sovereignty and upholding non-interference in each other's national affairs. That's pragmatically because it is your country that is standing on a very precarious place.
