- "In November 1944 Kazakhs, “White Russians,” and Tartars revolted in I-ning in western Sinkiang. They organized a government at I-ning by setting up a Local Maintenance Committee with An Te-hai, a Turki (the Turki, Moslems, are the largest population group in Sinkiang), as Chairman, with the reported aim of establishing an East Asia Turki Republic."
- "In Sinkiang itself the Chinese were multiplying their own problems by pushing forward too hard and too fast with Sinification and Maoification programmes.
