FREEEAST TURKISTAN SYMPOSIUMtowards Eastern Turkistan began to surface with great economic demands andcompetition; these had a very deceptive effect over the events that happened in theregion. As a result, ethnic and systematic forced immigration to Eastern Turkistanbegan to be mentioned officially; the official reason was the development of thisregion at the beginning of the 21st century. The Chinese prime minister, ZhaoZiyang, and the former general secretary of the Chinese Communist Party, Hu YaoBang, who visited Eastern Turkistan in 1983, stated this point very clearly. Sincethis plan required a vast amount of money, as well as scientific experts and skilledpersons, the general secretary of the Eastern Turkistan Communist Party WangEnmao visited the USA in October, 1985. He said the following in a statementhe made to The Washington Post on 14.01.1985: “Eastern Turkistan must largelydepend on skilled workers and technical persons from within China in order toattain a five-fold increase in the current industrial and agricultural income by theend of the 20th century. The Canton has assigned financial incentives to attractsuch people to the region. University graduates who come here will receive anadditional degree in addition to their salaries immediately after their arrival; theywill receive new degrees every three years. The salaries to be given to those whocome are very encouraging.” 7Naturally, the reason why these officials spoke about the development ofEastern Turkistan is that the region had now become a Chinese territory andwas a productive place for Chinese immigrants. Another reason was that EasternTurkistan was a spearhead for China’s involvement in economic competition inthe 21st century. China, an expert at hiding facts and regular statistics regardingrapid immigration in order to exploit the region, intends to permanently erase theregion demographically from the map as a fundamental part of its global economicadvances. And it has been successful in doing this. With the situation being thus,China’s claims of development, stability, national unity or merging populationsliving in Eastern Turkistan are of no value. Let us examine read what the formergeneral secretary of the Communist Party, the highest political authority in China,Hu Yao Bang, said in a statement published in Newsweek on 16.06.1986: “EasternTurkistan is similar to the Western Sahara or the Amazon basin. In this region,there are great opportunities for development. The total population of EasternTurkistan is 14,000,000, which 6,000,000 of which are Uyghur and 5,300,000are Chinese. This region can easily accommodate 200,000,000 Chinese!” 8 In this316
