Isa Yusuf Alptekin (1901 – 17 December 1995) was a Uyghur politician who served in the Chinese Nationalist government and opposed both the First East Turkistan Republic[1] and the Second East Turkestan Republic.[2][3] When Xinjiang came under Chinese communist control in 1949, Alptekin went into exile and became an ultra-nationalist and pan-Turkic separatist.
