China lashes out at US for support of 'terrorists'
ISN SECURITY WATCH (24/09/04) - China has protested the formation of the “East Turkistan Government in Exile” in Washington comprised of exiles from China’s Xinjiang region, which Beijing describes as terrorists. “East Turkistan forces are terrorist organizations and we oppose them. We have already [protested] to the US side and hope that the US government will seriously consider our concerns," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Kong Quan told reporters. China claims that some Uyghur nationals are members of East Turkistan terrorist groups, who are seeking to separate China’s oil-rich northwestern province of Xinjiang from the rest of the country. The head of the government in exile is Anwar Yusuf Turani, who heads a Uighur separatist group known as the East Turkistan National Freedom Center, said Epoch news, a website run by dissident Chinese.

New York Times reporter arrested in Beijing
ISN SECURITY WATCH (24/09/04) - Chinese authorities in Beijing have arrested a researcher for The New York Times daily on suspicion that he had leaked information about the pending resignation of the powerful Jiang Zemin from China’s Central Military Commission. State security agents arrested Chinese reporter Zhao Yan on 17 September. Two days later, Jiang resigned from the Central Military Commission, naming his deputy, President and Communist Party chief Hu Jintao, as his successor. The New York Times had quoted unnamed sources on 7 September as saying that Jiang would step down and hand over the reigns to Hu - well before the decision was announced during the Communist Party’s annual meeting on 19 September. According to The New York Times, Zhao was accused of illegally divulging state secrets to foreigners. (snipped)
