However, the East Turkistan Republic fell to the Soviet and Chinese invasion on April 16 in 1934.The East Turkistani people, however, resisted Chinese colonialism and declared their independence on November 12 in 1944 as the East Turkistan Republic. China invaded East Turkistan on October 12 in 1949 and the independent East Turkistan Republic was "overthrown" on December 22 in 1949.The report said that the Chinese government has been committing genocide since 2014 and has caused the internment of millions of Uyghurs, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz and other Turkic peoples in concentration camps, prisons, and labour camps.
