Mr. Hersh further spoke about tension between Turkish and Chinese intelligence over claims of Turkey’s bringing Uighurs from China to the Syrian battlefield. Relying on Syrian Ambassador Imad Moustapha’s remarks, Hersh wrote that China is concerned with Uighurs fighting in Syria.

Turkey, according to Hersh, facilitates transport of Uighurs from China’s Xinjiang region to Syria, an issue that pitted Beijing against Ankara.
