I wonder what would an Uyghur SSR in Xinjiang look like when it was annexed to the Soviet Union instead of China. Bonus if it was still bordering the PRC.

It might be like one of the Central Asian Republics. There will be a lot of Muslims which would become a problem for the USSR by the time the Soviet-Afghan War occurs. After the fall of the USSR, the area might be haven for terrorists. |

At least there is no Uyghur genocide. |

Post-USSR it will be party to the Great Central Asian Game; major players Turkey - Russia - China with Iran as the Joker.  |

What about the Chinese nuclear test range - somewhere in the north in Inner Mongolia or Kansu, Tsinghai, Tibet?? Sorry if not using the modern transcription but my atlas dated.. could use a webbased but like to flip pages..

Probably Kansu, which provides the desert isolation whilst being a reasonable distance away from the Mongolian/Soviet border.
Independent Sinkiang is very unlikely without the peculiar situation of the break up of the USSR. As a border march, it inevitably ends up in one empire or another.
No need to apologise for not writing everything in the Chinese version. I don't use it anyway, both through my natural atavism and from the general principle. I don't write of Moskva, Wien or Roma, but use the English versions.

Now I wonder how many ethnic Chinese lived there in 1945. And how they'd live as a minority under Soviet rule.

Sounds like very few and they might well end up being sent 'back' to China after Mao takes over. Both because he would want to claim control over them and Stalin, possibly the master of ethnic cleansing in the period wouldn't want them as a potential group with divided loyalties.

By the way, I think the rest of the Chinese who were not expelled to China might be counted as "Dungans"/Huis just to keep being expelled and Russified at the same time.
