rich energy resources, be insured,”22 and this situation was a “matter of life and death”23 for the Chinese Communist party leader in Turkistan.

It is demanded by justice that it be made clear that the Turkistani people cannot be held responsible for China’s deranged mind. If it is the right of the Uyghur people to separate from China and to desire independence, then it is foolish for Han ethnic Chinese to believe that the Uyghur people should bear the burden of China’s union at the expense of their beliefs, territory, civilization, lives and property, or that the Uyghur people should simply accept the despicable proposal of the Chinese. Again, the Chinese are very aware that any proposals made in the past, present or future will be rejected by the Uyghur people. They have tried to divide the demographic infrastructure of the country with largescale importations from the east (Han nation) to the west (Turkistan), in a mad race against time.

The Malaysians adopted a national slogan when they wanted to transform into a great industrial state by 2050: “Look to the East”. Thus, they were indicating that they had taken the Japanese model as an example for development. The Chinese, however, have taken up the most despicable colonization model for the disintegration of Turkistan and use the slogan: “Hey young man! Go West”, “Xibu da kaifa”. As a result of this slogan as well as the organization of enticing tours to encourage migration applications, China has settled millions of Han Chinese into Turkistan and thus greatly changed the demographic infrastructure.

Statistics demonstrate that the demographic balance between the nations living in Turkistan. However, one must be very careful when using statistics from official sources. Information disclosed by the central or local Chinese government is that which it wants to be known. However, as we saw above, according to official legal regulations, publishing information about issues of nationalities without permission from the official authorities is considered to be a breach of national security. Thus, it is safe to say that the numbers which show the population of Uyghur citizens to number 8.5 million, that is Muslims form 60% of the total population in the region, are far from the actual numbers. On the other hand, statistics that show the Han nation as consisting of 7.5 million and forming 40% of the population are not to be trusted either. The statistics that are closer to the truth are those that show the Uyghur population as being between 18 and 25 million. While there is no data proving or disproving the accuracy of this census, considering the nature of incidents, the latter data can be seen to be closer to reality. If we take into consideration the reaction of nationalist Chinese and the concern at official levels every time there is a protest these numbers are more trustworthy. Then where is the problem?

The Uyghur people are greatly concerned that the demographic structure of their country will be completely reversed in the near future. Similarly, the Chinese are concerned that the region will
