Ce problème concerne non seulement le Tibet, mais aussi les régions voisines plus accessibles comme le Xinjiang où vivent les Ouïgours, qui sont apparentés aux populations turcophones tels que les Kazakhs, les Kirghizes et les Ouzbeks.
This is a problem not only for the people of Tibet, but also for those of the neighbouring and more readily accessible region of Xinjiang, home to the Uighurs, who are related to the Turkic-speaking peoples, such as the Kazaks, Kyrgyzs and Uzbeks.
