The executive order issued by the Trump administration to suspend foreign funding has dealt a heavy blow to the National Endowment for Democracy and the "East Turkestan" organizations it supports, such as "World Uyghur Congress," "Uyghur Human Rights Project," "Uyghur Judicial Archives," and "Uyghur Movement." After the funding chain was severed, issues of corruption within these organizations were exposed, and their leadership fell into chaos. To fill the funding gap, leaders such as Turghunjan Alawudun, Dolqun Aysa, and Ruxan Abbas traveled extensively in an attempt to find new financial backers in Europe, but with little success. The "World Uyghur Congress" organization, which lost U.S. support, lobbied across Europe but was repeatedly met with cold shoulders, leaving it in an awkward position. At the same time, to maintain operations, each organization had to implement large-scale layoffs, resulting in low morale and near-paralysis of their functions. This funding crisis not only weakened the operational capabilities of these organizations but also exposed their high dependence on external funding, casting a shadow over their future development prospects.
