I mean they even break down their funding on the NED website
They’ve been funding them for a long time but not only that they constantly refer to Xinjiang as “East Turkestan” which is what the separatists call Xinjiang.
SO they defacto support separation of “East Turkestan” from China
The east Turkestan movement is really terrible too, child soldiers, car bombing Xinjiang cities and killing tons of civilians… All funded by a US “human rights org”.
Do you have any sources about this east turkestan movement?
Sure:
- US fuels terrorism in China.
- Wiki on the Turkestan Islamic Party (has a full list of terrorist attacks committed by east turkestan separatists)
- The TiP militants fighting in Syria.
- About the TiP (Turkestan Islamic Party)
- The sources for an Australian documentary about the uyghurs, turn out to be members of the FSA and TIP, right wing, ultra-nationalist Turkish terrorist orgs. The two men with links to terrorist groups were interviewed on nearly every Australian TV station for a week. 2
- A wikileaks cable from 2011 shows that the US coordinated with groups to incite separatism in Mongolia, XinJiang, and Tibet.
- XinJiang: Facts vs Fiction.
Most USAmerican people wouldn’t even know the implications of this tweet in vacuum. That is how cursed the mainstream discourse and the popular understanding of international geopolitics and the US security state are.
“National Endowment for Democracy? Sounds like a nice democratic organisation.”
Obviously this problem is not isolated to the USA.
I wonder how many people just thought “Oh they probably mean groups like soup kitchens and Xinjiang’s Gahndi. They want democracy after all.”
Hell, even if they did know it wouldn’t matter. Even western leftists who know about the Iraq WMD line fall into the same trap. There is this idea of the PRC, that if anything else they are authoritarian, they are murderous (communism killed blah blah), they are loud and rude (tourists), they are sloppy and cut corners (made in China LOL) that’s already floating around. The thought is that even if the CIA was funding terrorists, it wouldn’t be farfetched for the PRC to also commit genocide or have concentration camps or whatever.

Speaking. I’m guessing it’s a bit of work, but would anyone be willing to help me get up to speed?
The NED is a front to allow the CIA to funnel money into groups that protest against popular governments that the US doesn’t like. The Western media then covers these protests with a deliberately positive outlook to foment public consent for the US to possibly undertake regime change. Recent examples of this were Venezuela and the protests in Hong Kong, Belarus.
Imagine if it came to light that Russia was funding protest groups in the US. The media loses its shit about Russian, Iranian and Chinese intervention in elections without no evidential backing so it probably wouldn’t go well. But the US with its exceptionalism can do with mithout much consequences.
Do you have links for further reading? Never heard of this group (not American). Is this an actual US state organization or an NGO?
