East Turkistan National Army

From Assad’s Regime to China’s Rule: A Brief Comparative Perspective on Oppression

On 8 December 2024, the autocratic regime of Bashar al-Assad in Syria collapsed following a major offensive by opposition forces. The offensive, led by Tahrir al-Sham and supported primarily by the Turkish-backed Syrian National Army, marked a significant turning point in the region. This development brings hope and liberation to thousands who have long suffered under Assad’s oppressive rule.

Yet, while one oppressive regime has fallen, another remains steadfast elsewhere. For the people of East Turkistan, the struggle for freedom continues to face immense challenges. The Chinese colonial regime has intensified its oppressive policies in East Turkistan, creating a reality that is even harsher and more suffocating than before.


Sinicization of Marxism, CCP and Chinese Settlers.

This episode explores a challenging and important topic: how the Chinese government’s efforts to adapt Marxism to fit Chinese culture, known as the Sinicization of Marxism, affect the Uyghur people. The Chinese government believes this process helps build a Chinese identity by absorbing others. But for Uyghurs and other Turks in East Turkistan, it is destroying anyone who is not Chinese. We’ll also discuss how Uyghurs see the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), and the arrival of Han Chinese settlers in their homeland.


What are China’s Current Policies in East Turkistan That Serve its Ambition to Control the World.

Why We Need Independence and What Should We Do

Welcome to this special episode of our podcast program. Today, we’re honoring East Turkistan Republic Day – a day that holds deep meaning for Uyghurs worldwide. On this day, we remember the establishment of our republics in 1933 and 1944, moments that symbolize our resilience, unity, and the pursuit of self-determination. But today isn’t just about looking back; it’s also about inspiring hope for the future. I’m excited to have our guest here to help us explore what East Turkistan Republic Day truly means to us all.


China’s Open Up The West: A Step Toward Land-Based Expansion 

The Center for East Turkistan’s National Interest is closely monitoring China’s policies in East Turkistan.
