Uighurs
The Chinese government has tried to pressure Australia's National Press Club in Canberra to cancel an address by the Uighur leader, Rebiya Kadeer. Rebiya Kadeer said of the latest controversy that China could not impose its authoritarian will on the whole world. She said that Australia was a democratic country and not a province of China.
IMO: The Sibel Edwards and Eric Margolis testimonies may lead some to believe that USA trained Uighur freedom-fighters (or terrorists, depending on your viewpoint).The gist of this was roughly that Chinese muslims from Xinjiang province in Western China were trained by Bin Laden to go and fight the communist Chinese in Xinjiang, and this was not only with the knowledge, but with the support of the CIA, because they thought they might use them if war ever broke out with China.
