East Turkestan not Xinjiang

Sir, Call Xinjiang by its real name East Turkestan and not the Chinese one given since occupation [‘Chinese Muslims detained indefinitely re-education camps’, The Muslim News, July 27]. It is an occupied land of the Uyghurs where Beijing is encouraging Han (Chinese) migration to in order to make Uyghurs a minority in their land (what Russia did to Kazakhstan at one point).
The Han were no more than single-digit figures in the 1950s but now more than 45 per cent and so to be more than 50 per cent of the population. Israel can only dream of being able to do the same to Palestinians but it is a reality in occupied East Turkistan.
Yours,
