As the history of Xinjiang in particular is contested between the government of China and Uyghur separatists, the official and common name of Xinjiang (with its Uyghur loanword counterpart, Shinjang) is rejected by those seeking independence.
Karena sejarah Xinjiang secara khusus diperebutkan antara pemerintah Cina dan separatis Uyghur , nama resmi dan umum Xinjiang (dengan mitra kata pinjaman Uyghur- nya, Shinjang ) ditolak oleh mereka yang mencari kemerdekaan.
