Resumen La Región Autónoma Uigur de Xinjiang es importante para la seguridad nacional de la República Popular China (RPCh) debido a los conflictos étnicos que se desarrollan en esta región. Sin embargo, su importancia no sólo radica en la problemática social, su ubicación geoestratégica (puente que une China y Asia Central), así como los recursos energéticos con los que cuenta (petróleo y gas), hacen de esta región preponderante para el desarrollo de la RPCh. En las siguientes páginas se muestra cómo las estrategias de la RPCh en Xinjiang y Asia Central están estrechamente relacionadas. Si bien, en un principio, la estrategia en la región centro asiática fue mantener estable la región, priorizando la seguridad, dicha estrategia evolucionó y abarcó otras áreas como la economía (intercambio comercial y de energéticos), que hoy en día tiene un papel clave en el aumento de la influencia regional y mundial de China. Esta investigación tiene como objetivo explicar cómo Xinjiang es utilizada en la estrategia de China en Asia Central, como eje de la relación sino-centro asiática, analizando cuatro temas principales: los antecedentes históricos de Xinjiang en las relaciones de la RPCh con sus vecinos, las características más importantes (la seguridad, la economía y la energía) de la estrategia del gobierno chino en Xinjiang y en Asia Central, y la repercusión de la influencia de otros actores (Rusia, EE.UU y la UE) en el papel de China como líder regional. Palabras clave: Xinjiang, Asia Central, China, geopolítica, liderazgo Abstract The Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region is important for the national security of the People's Republic of China (PRC) due to the ethnic conflicts that take place in this region. However, its importance does not only lie in social problems, its geostrategic location (bridge linking China and Central Asia), as well as its energy resources (oil and gas), make this region extremely significant for the PRC’s development. The following pages show how the PRC's strategies in Xinjiang and Central Asia are closely related. Although the initial strategy in Central Asia was to keep the region stable, giving priority to security, this strategy evolved and covered other aspects such as economy (commercial and energy exchange), which today plays a key role in the expansion of China’s regional and global influence. This research aims to explain how Xinjiang is used in the strategy of China in Central Asia, as the pivot of the Sino-Central Asia relations, by analyzing four main subjects: the Xinjiang’s historical background role in the PRC’s relations with its neighbors, the most important characteristics (security, economy and energy) of the Chinese government’s strategy in Xinjiang and Central Asia, and the effect of the influence of other actors (Russia, US and EU) on China’s role as a regional power.

Xinjiang fue establecida como región autónoma por el gobierno chino en 1955, momento en el que comenzaron una serie de campañas políticas y sociales, así como la migración de gran número de población Han, como medio de control interno. Sin embargo, la importancia de este territorio es histórica, al haber formado parte de la Ruta de la Seda, que permitió un amplio intercambio comercial y cultural3 con Asia Central4 y el resto del mundo. Aunque el gobierno chino no ejerció completo control sobre la zona hasta la derrota de los oirat (mongoles) en 1755, momento en el que China anexa formalmente Xinjiang, entonces llamado Turquestán Oriental, a su territorio.5 Posteriormente se enfrentaron a los khojas (turcos) que para principios del siglo XIX dominaban el comercio de la región (Kashgar). La debilidad del gobierno para controlar el territorio se agravó cuando en 1862 comenzó la rebelión de los dunganes (musulmanes), para tener un mayor control el gobierno Qing integró el 1 Gobierno de señores de la guerra en varias regiones y lucha entre el Partido Comunista de China y el Guomindang. 2 Las regiones autónomas y sus fechas de creación son: Mongolia Interior en 1947, Xinjiang Uigur en 1955, Ningxia Hui y Guangxi Zhuang en 1958, Tíbet en 1965. 3 El intercambio comercial en Xinjiang se daba en los oasis a lo largo del desierto Taklamakan, convergiendo en la ciudad de Kashgar. 4 Entonces conocida como Regiones del oeste o el Turquestán Occidental. 5 Joseph F.

Después de su instauración como región autónoma, por medio de las diversas campañas desarrolladas por el gobierno chino, se buscó unir el territorio al gobierno central (política, económica y socialmente) y con ello disminuir la influencia extranjera en la región. Por otro lado, en lo referente a las relaciones con el exterior, si bien, en un comienzo fueron cautelosas, se llegaron a varios acuerdos con la Unión Soviética, no obstante, limitados a asuntos

    Imperial Legacies and Revolutionary Legends: The Sibe Cavalry Company, the Eastern Turkestan Republic, and Historical Memories in Xinjiang Max Oidtmann Georgetown University Volume 12, 2014 This essay examines the process of writing and memorializing the past in the post-Mao era in Xinjiang. In particular, this essay concerns the Sibe community and their recol- lections of the turbulent decades between 1930 and 1949 and their participation in the Eastern Turkestan Republic. Writing in Chinese, Manchu, and Uyghur, Sibe authors have recorded a narrative of the revolutionary period that is significantly different from the “official” narrative of the PRC. They have appropriated the vocabulary of revolu- tion, translated it into Manchu, and used it to talk about their own revolutionary activi- ties in 1944, asserting both their own agency and their ambivalence about their role as an official “minority nationality” in “New China.” Moreover, Sibe participation in the ETR reveals the degree to which their martial legacy as Qing bannerpeople continued to complicate self- understandings and political activities well into the 1940s. 帝国遗產与共和传说:锡伯骑兵连、东突厥斯坦共和国,以及在新疆的历史 记忆 欧麦高 Max Oidtmann 乔治城大学卡塔尔分校 本文检视了后毛泽东时期在新疆当地对过去进行书写与纪念的过程,并侧重 於锡伯族社群及其对1930至1949年间之动盪与其加入东突厥斯坦共和国的回 忆。锡伯族作家们以汉文、满文与维文记录了一种与中华人民共和国「官 方」论述大相逕庭的革命时代叙事。他们挪用了革命的语汇,并以其来述说 http://dx.doi.org/10.3998/saksaha.13401746.0012.005 49 Saksaha Vol. 12 自身於1944年的革命活动,而且强调了关于他们在「新中国」作為官方「少 数民族」自身的作用与矛盾。此外,锡伯族加入东突厥斯坦共和国一事也显 示了他们作為清代旗人所拥有的武功遗產,直到1940年代持续将其自我理解 与政治活动复杂化的程度。 帝國遺產與革命傳說:錫伯騎兵連、東突厥斯坦共和國,以及在新疆的歷史

    Changing Alliances In International Arena by Ah Xiang Excerpts from “Resistance Wars: 1931-1945” at http://www.republicanchina.org/war.html For updates and related articles, check http://www.republicanchina.org/RepublicanChina-pdf.htm World War II, in both East and West, were the inducements of the British, and Anglo-American syndicates. For what? British wanted Hitler to attack the Soviet Union, and the British wanted Japan to suppress China's nationalist movement and to counter the Soviet Union. In both cases, Stalin out-smarted the British and Anglo-American syndicates. Hitler attacked westward instead, and signed a non-aggression pact with Stalin to halve Poland; and Japan attacked Southeast Asia and Pearl Harbor after China, not the Soviet Union. (Half a year before Russo-Japanese Neutrality Treaty of April 1941 and one year ahead of the Pacific War, Japan already reached a secret deal with USSR to halve China, as evidenced by Dec 1940 negotiations between Whang Jingwei and Japan. The same cunning Stalin, who fought Zhang Xueliang over China Eastern Railway, would quickly divest himself of the railway after Japan invaded Manchuria on Sept 18th 1931.) The Anglo-American support for Japan could be dated to Japan's post-Meiji era. While US had supported Japan from 1894 First Sino-Japanese War to 1904 Russo-Japanese War, Britain tacked on the job of supporting Japan from 1904 onward, for 20 continuous years. To reign in Japan the mad dog from biting themselves, Britain and America somehow pressured Japan into some concessions through several conferences, i.e., Washington Conference on naval disarmament in 1922, and the Kellogg-Briand Pact in 1928.
