@chinabksreview @orvilleschell It‘s an amazing read!

'The Martyrdom of Liu Xiaobo' China’s dissident writer was an exemplar of iconoclastic spirit, pursuing a more humane society despite state repression. A new biography draws the arc of his rebellion and untimely death. Read @orvilleschell's review: chinabooksreview.com/2024/06/27/the…

But completely sidelining and neglecting the largest ethnic group indigenous to the region raises this disinformation to a new level. ➡️ Likewise, the U.S. channel now also shows CICC “documentaries” on #Tibet like this one: m.youtube.com/watch?v=ShI3Yw…

⬆️ These tropes (multiculturalism, multi-religiosity, ancient ties to China, development) have been shown to be standard for Chinese party-state propaganda in Xinjiang: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

Amazing: @USATODAY now features Chinese #propaganda on #Xinjiang @Remote_Xuar #RemoteXUAR m.youtube.com/watch?v=PIlgxr… “Xinjiang: Gateway to China's future, where culture meets commerce”, released in May 2024, produced by CICC (#China Intercontinental Communications Center)

Gaukhar Kurmanaliyeva has been protesting in front of the #ChineseConsulate in Almaty 🇰🇿 since 2021 to advocate for her relative, Asqar Azatbek, who was detained due to his alleged #DualCitizenship. Read her story in the new blog post: remote-xuar.com/post/continuou… #EthnicKazakhs

so Alpermann, der im Rahmen des Forschungsprojektes „Remote Ethnography of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region“ @Remote_Xuar ebenfalls auf Hinweise für die digitale Identifikation von Uiguren gestoßen ist.

„Das widerlegt das Narrativ der chinesischen Regierung, dass nach einer harten Phase der Umerziehung die ‚Gefahr des Extremismus‘ inzwischen gebannt sei und Uiguren als normale Bürger Chinas ihre Freiheit genießen und der Verwirklichung ihrer Lebensträume nachgehen könnten“,
