East Turkestan

Proper noun




Usage notes

 * East Turkestan is the preferred name used by Uyghur independence activists, who reject the name “Xinjiang” due to it being a name given by the Chinese state. The term is correspondingly proscribed in China for its strong correlation with the Uyghur independence movement.
