ABSTRACT

How has China(PRC) alleviated ethnic unrest of Tibet Autonomous Region(TAR) but in Xinjiang/Uyghur Autonomous Region(XUAR)? About the difference, this research focuses on external factors of China. First, TAR/XUAR have patrons supporting separatism respectively in India/Pakistan. By expecting two neighboring states preclude patrons interacting with radical separatists inside, PRC bolsters interstate cooperation. In response, central governments of India/Pakistan endeavor to control patrons. In reality, due to India’s pressure and formidable influence, Tibetans’ government-in-exile eventually gave up pursuing radical separation. By contrast in Pakistan, having without legitimized sovereignty, insufficient power of a central government, 1) patrons of Uyghur separatists refuse government’s directions while 2) security forces are unable to control borders. Consequently Pakistan’s weak strength escalates separatism of XUAR.
