ABSTRACT
Compared to its operations in the United States and Germany, WUC activity in Japan is quite a recent phenomenon, having only begun in 2008. So it is not surprising that Uyghurs in Japan have fewer activists and supporters, and are less organized than Uyghurs elsewhere. The aim of this chapter is to investigate empirically the Uyghur networks in Japan, as well as to assess the effectiveness of the Japan Uyghur Association (JUA) in light of its early state of maturation and diminutive membership.
