[See China News on September 27, 2021](See Chinese reporter Ge Yushi Compilation/Comprehensive Report)ChinaThe number one public enemy of the East Turkistan Islamic Movement (ETIM) is back.As the United States withdraws, China facesEast IraqThe problem will only worsen. Interestingly, things seem to suddenly get out of control from China, and the Eastern Iraqi Movement looks stronger than before.
The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) described the East Iranian Movement as an organization that “uses violence to advance its establishment of an independent East Turkistan nation within China.” Since the establishment of the East Iranian Movement, it has maintained close ties with the Taliban, Al-Qaida and the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan.
The UN Security Council added: “The East Iraqi Movement was founded by Hasan Mahsum from Xinjiang, China in 1997. He was killed by the Pakistani army in October 2003. The East Iraqi Movement is currently managed by Abdul Haq (Abdul Haq) leader, as of 2005, he is also a member of the Al-Qaida Shura Council (Sura Council).”
Therefore, the East Iranian Movement is an organization targeting Xinjiang, hoping to divide this westernmost province of China and establish an independent East Turkistan state. The East Iraqi Movement is headquartered in Afghanistan and maintains close contact with the Taliban.
China assisted the United States in the 1980s and supported Muslim jihadists against the Soviet Union. This conflict and the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan for the following ten years gave birth to the Eastern Iraqi Movement. The organization tried to initiate its own armed uprising in neighboring Xinjiang. The rebellion began in a series of deadly attacks in the 1990s, and violence related to the cause of separatism lasted until 2017. The purpose was to weaken China’s determination in Xinjiang. . The organization claimed to form East Turkistan with parts of Gansu and western Qinghai.
Xinjiang borders eight countries-Afghanistan, India, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Pakistan, Russia, and Tajikistan-and is the core of China’s natural energy resource reserves.
Why did Dong Yi Yun pop up again?
Since the withdrawal of the US troops, China has always been concerned about the East Iraqi Movement, because China has seen that the withdrawal of the US forces has created a large amount of vacuum and unmanned space in Afghanistan, which may make the East Iraqi Movement prosper again.
A new report in Newsweek confirmed China’s concerns. The report included the first remarks made by the East Iraqi Movement after being removed from the list of terrorist organizations by the United States in 2020.
Newsweek quoted the East Iraqi Movement’s spokesperson as saying: “The United States is a powerful country and it has its own strategy. We believe that the US government’s withdrawal from the war in Afghanistan that caused huge economic losses today is against China. A means, and China (the CCP) is the enemy of all humans and religions on the planet.”
This apparently angry East Turkistan spokesperson attacked China (the CCP). He said: “East Turkistan is the land of the Uyghurs.” The spokesperson also said: “After the Chinese government occupied our homeland by force, they forced us to leave our homeland due to their oppression. The world knows that East Turkistan It has always been the land of Uyghurs.”
Could the United States intervene?
Interestingly, Newsweek also quoted the East-Iranian Movement’s spokesperson as saying: “We believe that the United States’ opposition to China (the Chinese Communist Party) will not only benefit the East-Iranian Movement and the people of East Turkistan, but also benefit all mankind. ”
It is a well-known fact that the Eastern Iraqi Movement hates the CCP and hopes to liberate Xinjiang from the CCP’s clutches. However, this is the first time that this militant group based in Afghanistan actually hinted that “US opposition to China” would help the East Iranian movement.
In fact, what the East Iraqi Movement spokesperson said was not just propaganda. Last year, the United States cancelled the designation of the East Iraqi Movement as a terrorist organization on the grounds that the US State Department denied any evidence that the East Iraqi Movement still exists.
The United States is very tolerant of the Eastern Iraqi Movement, and only started bombing the Eastern Iraqi Movement in 2018. Later, with the deterioration of US-China relations, the United States removed the East Iraqi Movement from the list of terrorist organizations, but the United States did not know the existence of the East Iraqi Movement, nor was it unaware that the East Iraqi Movement had a plan to separate Xinjiang from China. After all the US media heard the East Iraqi Movement spokesperson’s remarks, TFI Global News claimed that it can be safely assumed that even the US intelligence community is not ignorant of the existence of the East Iraqi Movement.
The United States has a history of inducing militants to target its opponents. This is what the United States does in countries such as Libya and Syria. If the United States really does not pay attention to the East Iraqi movement, and even supports the East Iraqi movement against China’s Xinjiang in terms of policy, this possibility is not too small.
In addition, organizations such as the National Endowment for Democracy (National Endowment for Democracy) have also been promoting activities against China’s human rights violations in Xinjiang, and have begun to refer to Xinjiang as East Turkistan. On the core issue of the Xinjiang Liberation Movement, the US policy on the Eastern Iraqi Movement and the concept of the Eastern Iraqi Movement are at least ideologically similar.
China’s Taliban deal failed
Beijing reached a deal with the Taliban. China will pay the Taliban, and the Taliban will return in return for curbing the operation of East Iraq. The Taliban have been squeezing money from China, but signs of the recovery of the Eastern Iraqi movement indicate that the Taliban either did not comply with the agreement or deliberately did not comply with the agreement. If China suddenly becomes the biggest loser in Afghanistan, it is because there is a powerful and vibrant East-Iran movement that is knocking on the door of the CCP.
