Radio Free Asia (RFA) took note of a Chinese government study that recommended building a second national capital in Xinjiang province to decisively “end the historical concept that the region is the Uyghur people’s motherland.”
was that an apartment building in the East Turkestan capital of Urumqi caught fire and residents burned to death inside because the building was sealed and quarantined. The event became huge national news because so many appalled Han Chinese residents of Urumqi were on hand to witness it.
World Uyghur Congress vice president Erkin Ekrem told RFA the process of building such a city would go a long way toward erasing East Turkestan because China would aggressively “Sinicize” the region first, through such tactics as bringing in large numbers of Han Chinese workers to build necessary infrastructure.
George Washington University international affairs professor Sean Roberts suggested China wants a bulwark against Central Asian instability spilling across its western border.
