Democratic Revolutionary Party (Xinjiang)
The Democratic Revolutionary Party[lower-alpha 3] was a communist party active in Xinjiang, China, from 1947 to 1948. It was formed from a merger between the Han Chinese-majority Communist League of Xinjiang and the Uyghur-majority East Turkestan Revolutionary Party. The Chinese Communist Party, after multiple meetings with the latter organisation's leader Abdulkerim Abbas, recommended the merger.[1][2][3]
