Afghanistan refuses to hand over Uyghur Muslims to China Liu Zongyi, director of South Asian Studies centre at the Shanghai Institute, stated that the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan categorically refuses Chinese demands regarding the Uyghur Muslims, despite promises of massive investments, humanitarian aid, and diplomatic support at the UN to ease sanctions. Liu Zongyi said in an interview that Afghanistan is not cooperating with China over the issue of Uyghur Muslims. China is demanding that Uyghur refugees in Afghanistan be deported back as China claims that they are "militants" belonging to the East Turkistan Islamic Movement (ETIM). Liu explained that the Afghan government has been very reluctant to act against the Uyghurs due to shared history, religious beliefs, tribal traditions, and social connections. "The biggest sticking point in China-Taliban relations is the issue of the East Turkestan Islamic Movement, which we regard as a terrorist organization. When we discuss this matter with Taliban officials, they never agree to hand these individuals over to China due to their shared religious beliefs and that deep-rooted tradition of protecting those who seek refuge. This situation creates a very profound trust issue on the Chinese side. They have been told that as long as these security risks persist in this manner, major investments in Afghanistan will not be possible.”
