The government of China has accused the group of having ties to the Turkistan Islamic Party (formerly known as the East Turkestan Islamic Movement or ETIM), a claim it denies.[2]
Purpose
The ETESA states that their purpose is to "educate and bring up Turkistani (Turkic) Muslims" by "meeting their Islamic, social, cultural, spiritual and earthly needs".[3]

gollark: On the one hand, you can get more miners. On the other, they have to ship everything back, and coordination/control is a problem.
gollark: Come to think of it, it would make more sense to only have a few universal constructor factories and have them produce non-replicating miner probes.
