FREEEAST TURKISTAN SYMPOSIUMbribery and buy-offs of multi-faceted interest groups, with intrinsic flaws in thefoundation. Since the establishment of the Communist party fierce internal powerstruggles have never ceased. With the ever-diminishing clout of the top leaders,the fight for the next generation’s leadership position will go public sooner orlater. In the meantime, the shitizens are becoming more mature, more skillful, andmore aggressive in fighting for their own civil rights.
