#1 The ETIM is a complex organization, an alliance of several groups whose common denominator is hatred of their Han overlords. (IMO their hatred has a sound basis.) Kind of like Tibet, only Muslim, and more violent, but I repeat myself.) Not all of the Turkic separatists are interested in independence - some prefer the Han welfare, such as it is, but want more autonomy; others want independence, but not an Islamic republic; the largest and strongest group is, however, the Islamofascists. They are the ones with significant external support. If they (ETIM) win against the Chinese (they won't, East Turkestan is where a lot of Chinese oil is found), the non-Islamofascists will be rapidly converted or killed.
