The Charkhlik revolt ({{zh|t=婼羌暴動}}) was a Uighur uprising in 1935 against Chinese Muslim-dominated Tunganistan, which was administered by the New 36th Division. The Chinese Muslim troops quickly and brutally defeated the Uighur revolt.{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=IAs9AAAAIAAJ&q=Charkhlik+racked+by+a+uighur+rising+tungan&pg=PA134|title=Warlords and Muslims in Chinese Central Asia: A Political History of Republican Sinkiang 1911–1949|author=Andrew D.
