Uyghur Community Matters in Light of Governmental White Papers

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingBook chapterResearchpeer-review

Abstract

This chapter aims to demonstrate the normative constraints and governmental strategies towards the various aspects of Uyghur community matters by analysing the Chinese government’s white papers. Content analysis of white papers presents the official Chinese narrative and illustrates the gradual shift in Beijing’s policy towards the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR).
It further illuminates the increasing securitisation and repression of the Uyghurs, which is in striking contrast to Beijing’s claims of ethnic unity (minzu tuanjie) and harmony (minzu hexie) under the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
