Previous research on the Republican government's policy toward Xinjiang in the 1940s, has long generally framed the question in terms of the relationship between China and the Soviet Union, or frontier ethnic groups' confrontations with the Xinjiang provincial authorities, or even the Soviet Union's policy toward Xinjiang province. However, to a certain extent these frameworks neglect the official policies to integrate Xinjiang and fail to examine their concrete effects. Based on reviewing the political changes in Xinjiang from 1944 to 1947, this article offers a general picture of the Republican government's integration of Xinjiang. During this time China faced a strong and ambitious Soviet Union, which was also governed according to a different ideology, and so the two governments became entangled through nationalism, ideology, national interests, and foreign policy. They became enemies as China's position in Xinjiang was threatened by the "Yining incident." Relations worsened even more with the "Baitashan incident," and eventually the Republic of China lost control over Xinjiang |
