“Xinjiang: Gateway to China's future, where culture meets commerce”, released in May 2024, produced by CICC (#China Intercontinental Communications Center)
⬆️ 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/ful…

„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“,
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.
