The fact that the title "CIA Islam Strategist" exists is disgusting as it is. They’ve been plotting in Xinjiang for decades. Just the Tarim Basin, which was mentioned in the paper, and which happens to be where the oil field was just found, contains as much crude oil as Saudi Arabia!

This is one of the main reasons why the US is running their propaganda campaign about Uyghurs in Xinjiang, it’s the Iraq WMD’s all over again. In fact, the CIA has known that Xinjiang is rich in oil for decades, as this declassified research paper shows

To summarize: since 1988, the CIA has funding the East Turkestan Islamic Movement like they did with the mujahideen to destabilize Xinjiang, to cut China off from their oil
