political tool, designed to stabilize the western regions, which borders<br />

with Russia, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan,<br />

Afghanistan, India and Pakistan. Stabilization necessitates Ch<strong>in</strong>ese<br />

government suppression, by political or military means, <strong>of</strong> movements<br />

demand<strong>in</strong>g autonomy or <strong>in</strong>dependence. The Ch<strong>in</strong>ese government<br />

is thus caught <strong>in</strong> a b<strong>in</strong>d. Ch<strong>in</strong>a cannot attract foreign capital [to]<br />

The words "economic reconstruction," are actually a tool employed<br />

obliged to work elsewhere. In fact, every <strong>in</strong>itiative that Red Ch<strong>in</strong>a has<br />

undertaken to pull the wool over the eyes <strong>of</strong> the West has resulted <strong>in</strong><br />

greater oppression <strong>of</strong> Muslims, a rise <strong>in</strong> violence, and <strong>in</strong> their be<strong>in</strong>g<br />

forced to give up their land to the Ch<strong>in</strong>ese.<br />

and <strong>in</strong>structions <strong>of</strong> central adm<strong>in</strong>istration, but rather to the needs and<br />

wishes <strong>of</strong> the majority <strong>of</strong> the population, and is <strong>in</strong>deed semi-<strong>in</strong>dependent.<br />

However, the form <strong>of</strong> autonomous adm<strong>in</strong>istration practiced <strong>in</strong><br />
