Turkey’s Uyghur dilemma in the context of China’s Belt and Road Initiative
Yet Ankara's recent alliances with Beijing are complicating historical bonds

Turkey has traditionally been an ally of the Uyghurs due to strong linguistic, cultural, and religious ties. Yet Ankara's political and economic alliances with Beijing, including the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), have complicated these historical bonds, divided Turkish public opinion, and reshaped Turkey’s official policy regarding the Uyghurs in the past years.
Having lost their political independence in the 1940s, the nearly 13 million Uyghur people living in western China in Xinjiang province have long considered Turkey a cultural and political haven. Turkey has become a home to Uyghur businessmen and students, as well as dissidents who have sought refuge to escape persecution and life in internment camps. Today, an estimated 50,000 Uyghurs live in Turkey to flee the Beijing-orchestrated deprivation of their most basic human rights, including freedom of religion, of movement and of communicating in their native language.
Until the early 2010s, the Uyghur cause was widely embraced in Turkish political circles. In 2009 Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, then prime minister, described the situation in Xinjiang as a “genocide” and sought to shame China internationally.
A sudden U-turn
But following a sharp economic decline in the aftermath of a military coup in July 2016, Erdoğan’s tone changed. The national currency depreciated 29 percent, dealing the economy a major blow, as relations with the US soured and Turkey swapped its parliamentary system for a presidential one in 2018.
The economy has hardly recovered since then. Credit rating agencies currently rank Turkey as a high-risk country. In the last three years, capital outflows have surpassed capital inflows. In other words, foreign investors are leaving the Turkish economy for economic or political reasons. While nearly a quarter of Turkey's government bonds were held by foreign investors in 2013, today it is around 4 percent. Foreign direct investment (FDI) has also dropped. According to the Ministry of Trade, from 2016–2020, total FDI in Turkey dropped from 12.18 billion US dollars to 6.67 billion US dollars. In due course, investors from the Netherlands, Spain, Belgium, Azerbaijan, and Russia all reduced their investment in the country.
China to the rescue: investment and vaccines
As foreign investors abandoned Turkey, China stepped in as an important player. Shortly after the currency crisis in 2018, China provided Turkey with a loan of 3.6 billion US dollars to be used in the energy and transportation sectors. Since then, the country has loaned an additional 6.6 billion US dollars to strengthen the economic, and commercial ventures between the two countries.
As economic ties strengthened, Turkey's policies on the treatment of Uyghurs in China weakened. Most notably, Turkey’s Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu made a statement in 2017 assuring Chinese counterparts that Turkey would not tolerate criticism against China, marking a shift in the ruling Justice and Development Party's (AKP) policies regarding the Uyghurs.
We absolutely will not allow in Turkey any activities targeting or opposing China. Additionally, we will take measures to eliminate any media reports targeting China.
Turkey’s Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu.
The last time Turkish authorities criticized the mistreatment of Uyghurs was in February 2019. In a written statement, Turkish Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Hami Aksoy said, “more than one million Uighur Turks incurring arbitrary arrests are subjected to torture and political brainwashing in internment camps and prisons. Uyghurs who are not detained in these camps are under heavy pressure.” The response from the Chinese government was swift. China's Ambassador to Turkey Deng Li “warned” Turkey that such statements disturb Chinese investors and if Turkey continues its criticism, they would inevitably jeopardize bilateral economic relations.
In 2017, Turkey signed an extradition treaty with China during President Erdogan's visit to Beijing. The agreement consists of 22 articles and obligates Turkey to extradite any person wanted on criminal charges to China. Although China ratified the treaty in December 2020, Turkey is yet to do so. The Turkish parliament received the document in 2019. Many have linked the delay in ratifying the treaty with China failing to deliver the promised 100 million doses of China-made COVID-19 vaccines.
But China is notorious for getting what it wants through its economic coercion policy to punish countries who are critical of its policies — and Turkey is no exception. It was not at all surprising then to hear Erdoğan speak fondly of China during his meeting with President Xi Jinping in Beijing in July 2019.
According to the reporting by the Chinese media Erdoğan thanked “China's prosperity” for ensuring “happy lives” of “residents of various ethnicities living in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.” Turkey's president also emphasized Turkey’s opposition to extremism and willingness to increase mutual political trust and strengthen security cooperation with China. He also assured China that Turkey won't allow anti-Chinese activities in Turkey. In response, President Xi expressed China's appreciation of Turkey’s position and thanked Erdoğan for assuring that no power in Turkey would be allowed to take separatist action against China. The final show of this assurance is the exclusion order that Turkey presented to the President of World Uyghur Congress, Dolkun Isa on September 9, 2021. Despite a September 7 court order, indicating Isa should be allowed, Turkey barred Isa from entering the country on September 19.
However, the AKP's U-turn on China is not widely supported. According to a MetroPOLL survey from May 2021, 53.2 percent of respondents said, they did not think the government was responding adequately to China on the treatment of Uyghurs.
In addition to public response, the opposition leaders have too, voiced criticism over the ruling government's silence on Uyghurs — a narrative the ruling party has had a hard time controlling. In April 2021, when Good Party (İYİ Parti) Chairman Meral Akşener tweeted her support for East Turkestan, the Chinese Embassy in Ankara tweeted in response, “The Chinese side resolutely opposes and strongly condemns any challenge by any person or power to China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. The Chinese side reserves its right to a rightful response.”
Although according to Turkish media, Ankara summoned China’s Ambassador over the tweet, the Turkish Foreign Ministry did not issue a press statement about the summoning. While the ruling party kept it quiet, on Twitter, the response was different.

Positions of Turkey, China on Afghan issue mainly parallel, including terrorism concerns: Turkish Ambassador

The positions and expectations of Turkey and China regarding Afghanistan are mainly parallel, including concerns over terrorism, the Turkish Ambassador to China Abdulkadir Emin Onen told the Global Times in an exclusive interview.
Onen said that Turkey is carefully monitoring developments in Afghanistan and will conduct a policy of "gradual engagement" with the new interim Taliban government.
Turkey is an important player in Afghanistan and has provided security at Kabul international airport for six years as part of the NATO mission. After the announcement of the formation of an interim government, Turkey reacted cautiously. In a recent interview with Nikkei Asia, its Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said it's "too early" for Turkey to commit to recognizing the new government in Afghanistan.
"The international community should continue its calls for the embracement of all sectors of the Afghan society to ensure durable peace in the period ahead," the ambassador said in the interview.
Currently, due to instability in Afghanistan, Onen said that they have evacuated civilians and troops from Afghanistan except for a small technical group. But they are keeping the Turkish Embassy in Kabul operational to maintain a diplomatic presence and continue dialogue with the Taliban.
Some analysts pointed out that the continued operation of the Turkish embassy in Kabul under the new circumstances showed that the country is keen to engage in dialogue and communication with all Afghan parties, including the Taliban.
"On the broader perspective, Turkey's Afghanistan policy has four main pillars: Preserving unity and territorial integrity, consolidating security and stability, strengthening a broad-based political structure prioritizing popular support and participation, and providing peace and welfare to the Afghan people through clearing the country of terrorism and extremism," he said, noting that the current situation in the country poses challenges from various dimensions in realizing these aims.
He told the Global Times that they have "serious concerns" regarding the possibility of a reemergence of terrorist groups like al-Qaeda or proliferation of some other terror elements under different ideological cloaks by taking advantage of a power vacuum and instability.
Last month, Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Turkish Foreign Minister Cavusoglu exchanged views on the Afghan situation in a phone conversation.
Wang said that the Taliban in Afghanistan needs to make a clear break with all terrorist forces and take measures to crack down on the international terrorist organizations designated by the United Nations Security Council, including the East Turkestan Islamic Movement. For his part, Cavusoglu said he fully agrees with Wang on the Afghan issue.
In the interview with the Global Times, Ambassador Onen said they are open and ready to cooperate with all parties in efforts aiming for peace and stability in Afghanistan.
"With this understanding, we also support various regional efforts focusing on enhancing economic, energy and infrastructure connectivity, including the [China-proposed] Belt and Road Initiative," he said.
"There is ample room for cooperation between Turkey and China in these sectors, particularly in the reconstruction process of Afghanistan in the time ahead."
The United Nations has previously warned that up to half a million Afghans could flee the country by the end of the year, which has triggered refugee concerns.
While Turkey has accepted a large amount of Syrian refugees in the past, this time, Ankara showed a strong stance and refused to take in more refugees.
The ambassador said with respect to migration, Turkey's position is clear, just as the Foreign Minister emphasized that it is out of the question for Turkey to take an additional refugee burden.
He introduced that at present, some of those displaced Afghan people are seeking refuge at Turkey's eastern borders. Turkey currently hosts nearly 5 million refugees including approximately 3.7 million Syrians, the world's largest refugee population, as well as about 300,000 Afghans.
"Turkey cannot take the burden of a new migrant wave from Afghanistan. Our government is taking efficient steps against illegal irregular immigration," he said.
"The principle of burden-sharing should be upheld by the international community by taking into consideration the fact that the current problems and their destabilizing ramifications are not just problems of Afghanistan and her neighbors but of the whole world," he stressed.

Chinezen mogen visumvrij naar Marokko terwijl de moslims in china worden onderdrukt.
De gevolgen van het bezoek van koning Mohammed VI aan China zijn direct duidelijk. Chinezen worden vanaf juni vrijgesteld van de visumplicht. Dat liet de Marokkaanse monarch gisteren weten tijdens een gesprek met president Xi Jinping in de 'Grote Hal van het Volk' in Peking. De minister van Buitenlandse Zaken, Salaheddine Mezouar, vertelde daarover aan staatspersbureau MAP. 'De beslissing, die de visie van Mohammed VI over het verdiepen en diversifiëren van de Marokkaans-Chinese betrekkingen aantoont, laat zien dat Marokko naar een versterking van de menselijke, culturele, economische en politieke uitwisseling streef', zegt Mezouar hierover. Volgens de Marokkaanse minister hebben de staatshoofden voor een strategisch partnerschap tussen Rabat en Peking getekend. Dat gebeurde nadat de twee gesprekken voerden over het partnerschap. Ook tekenden Mohammed VI en Jinping verscheidene bilaterale overeenkomsten.

Several German companies have been accused of "profiting" from the forced labour of Uyghur Muslims in China.
The allegation was made by the Berlin-based NGO, The European Centre for Constitutional and Human Rights (ECCHR).
High-profile brands including clothing chains Hugo Boss and C&A, and the discount chains Lidl, Aldi Nord and Aldi Sud were named in the complaint.
The ECCHR said that the companies have been complicit "directly or indirectly" in the forced labour of members of the Muslim Uyghur minority in China's Xinjiang province.
The association said the brands were guilty of "alleged complicity in crimes against humanity". The companies have denied the claims.

US declares China is 'committing genocide' against Uighur minority
Several western countries have accused China of detaining Uyghur Muslims in vast labour camps in the west of the country.
The United States claims that Beijing is carrying out genocide against Uyghur and other Turks in Xinjiang, where experts estimate that more than a million people are imprisoned.
Beijing rejects the term genocide and has described the camps as vocational training centres.
But Uyghur say they are being forced to abandon their religious traditions and are imprisoned while working for textile factories that supply multinational companies.
In its complaint, the ECCHR says that by maintaining business with the region, German companies are "aiding and abetting these crimes," even if there was no tangible evidence of forced labour.
"These five cases are just one example of a much larger and more systemic problem," Miriam Saage-Maass, director of the ECCHR told AFP.
France probes claims that retailers used forced Uyghur labour
C&A said in a statement that it did not "tolerate forced labour in [its] supply chain".
Aldi meanwhile stated that it had established "binding standards for all business partners" to prevent these issues.
Hugo Boss also said in a statement that it had "asked suppliers several months ago to find out and confirm that the production of goods in the supply chain is carried out in accordance with human rights" and added that it gave "absolute priority" to the matter.
Lidl meanwhile condemned the practices in question and told AFP that the NGO's complaint was based on "old supplier lists".
In April, a similar complaint against four multinational clothing companies was filed in France by the anti-corruption group Sherpa. https://www.euronews.com/2021/09/06/...abour-in-china
