East Turkestan is under occupation by the Chinese Communists. The native people of East Turkestan, the Uyghurs, are not Chinese, they have their own language, their own culture, their own religion (Islam), their own traditions, their own history. The Chinese Communists invaded East Turkestan and took it over. It was as if Indonesia were to invade Australia, declare it a province of Indonesia, force everyone to speak Indonesian, put their own administration in place in Canberra, and kill or imprison any of us who resisted.
