In February, Mohammed bin Salman, Saudi Arabia\u2019s crown prince,\u00a0declared<\/a>\u00a0on Chinese state television, \u201cChina has the right to carry out antiterrorism and de-extremization work for its national security.\u201d\u00a0 He was following the clumsy script that China has used repeatedly to cover up its violations of the human rights of the Uyghur people in Xinjiang province.<\/p>\n

The alibi is common to authoritarian states who create \u201cstates of exception\u201d and \u201cemergency resolutions\u201d to bypass the rule of law, substituting its own self-appointed notion of \u201cright\u201d to violate human rights doctrine conventions. In the case of the Uyghur, an entire people has been categorized as \u201cterrorist,\u201d and China has developed a massive and programmatic response to such \u201cextremism\u201d \u2014 concentration camps that extract labor at the same time as they suppress any thoughts, beliefs, cultural values, language, even food, that evinces Muslim identity.<\/p>\n

Besides bin Salman, other leaders regarded as strong advocates for Muslims have also signed on to what might be called the \u201cUyghur Exception.\u201d In 2017, Pakistan\u2019s current prime minister,\u00a0Imran Khan<\/a>, while still in the political opposition party, condemned the \u201chypocrisy\u201d of the international community in failing to protect the rights of Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar; Khan also has criticized human rights violations against Muslim Kashmiris.<\/p>\n

But when asked about the Uyghur, Khan simply\u00a0said<\/a>, \u201cFrankly, I don\u2019t know much about that,\u201d explaining that the issue was \u201cnot so much in the papers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Many speculate that, like bin Salman, Khan has chosen not to defend Uyghur Muslims because of the lucrative trade deals Middle East countries are inking with China.\u00a0 In the case of Pakistan, this has taken the form of the\u00a0China-Pakistan Economic Corridor<\/a>\u00a0(CPEC) along the Arabian sea, a project priced at $60 billion. In an op-ed in the\u00a0Washington Post<\/em>, Barkha Dutt notes that \u201cChina has long used its economic investments for strategic expansionism, especially in countries that share a border (maritime or terrestrial) with India. Whether it\u2019s Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka or the Maldives, China has dangled investments in exchange for influence.\u201d<\/p>\n

The impact of economics<\/h3>\n

Economics also plays a large role in the persecution and repression of the Uyghur as well. Approximately ten million Uyghur are concentrated in Xinjiang province, also known as the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (XUAR).\u00a0 It spans some 640,000 square miles, representing about one-sixth of the total land area under the control of the People\u2019s Republic of China.<\/p>\n

China has long been intent on\u00a0exploiting<\/a>\u00a0Xinjiang\u2019s vast natural resources \u2014 increasing oil extraction and refining, along with coal and natural gas production, among other resources.\u00a0 The province has an estimated twenty-one billion tons of oil reserves; its coal resources represent 40 percent of China\u2019s total. Thus the repression of the Uyghur takes place simultaneously with the plundering of Xinjiang\u2019s natural resources.<\/p>\n

But Xinjiang is important for another reason: it is the hub of the most ambitious infrastructure project in modern history.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

The\u00a0Belt and Road initiative<\/a>\u00a0runs along the old Silk Road, and will span three continents and cover almost 60 percent of the world\u2019s population.\u00a0 It is the vehicle with which China hopes to become the world\u2019s predominant superpower.\u00a0 Thus it is all the more essential to control this key geopolitical area with an iron hand.<\/p>\n

The suppression of the Uyghur also has both a direct and indirect benefit.\u00a0 It represses an entire population and that repression serves as a threat to any other group that would challenge Chinese hegemony.\u00a0 The construction and maintenance of the concentration camps is meant to \u201cre-educate\u201d the rest of China, and indeed the world, at the same time it tortures the Uyghur and extracts all elements of their independence.<\/p>\n

The Roots of Uyghur Repression<\/h3>\n

Some have said that the repression and imprisonment of Uyghurs, and the physical and psychological torture imposed upon them, resemble the Chinese government\u2019s crackdown on the members of the Falungong spiritual sect in the late 1990s. Initially, the government tolerated the emergence of this group. Yet as their numbers rose exponentially (to nearly seventy million), China saw them as a real threat to state ideology.<\/p>\n

China has classified Falungong members in the same category as both Tibetan and Uyghur \u201cseparatists\u201d \u2014 threats to the Communist Party. In all three cases, repression has taken the form of imprisonment, surveillance, and \u201cre-education.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yet of all these groups, the Uyghurs stand out as targets of both Islamophobia and racism.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yet of all these groups, the Uyghurs stand out as targets of both Islamophobia and racism.\u00a0 Unlike another large group of Muslims in China, the Hui people, Uyghurs are not ethnically or culturally Chinese, but rather Turkish \u2014 this makes them specifically open to persecution on the basis not only of religion but also of race. Their culture and language (an Asian Turkic language similar to Uzbek) have been degraded, and they occupy the lowest rungs of the social and economic hierarchies.<\/p>\n

The Uyghur have chafed under these conditions for decades and began carrying out militant actions in the late 1990s. Such groups as the Eastern Turkestan Islamic Movement (later the Turkestan Islamic Party) drew international attention both because of their aspirations to join Al Qaeda and attacks perpetrated around the Beijing Olympics. But the most prevalent instances of violence have been sporadic, autonomous, and of short duration.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It is thus a combination of economics, culture, religion, resources, and strategic location that drive the current repression of the Uyghur; the economic interests of Middle East countries prevent them from raising this issue with China.<\/p>\n

In August 2018, Gay McDougall, a member of the UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination,\u00a0cited<\/a>\u00a0estimates that two million Uighurs and Muslim minorities were forced into \u201cpolitical camps for indoctrination\u201d in the western Xinjiang autonomous region.\u00a0 She said, \u201cWe are deeply concerned at the many numerous and credible reports that we have received that in the name of combating religious extremism and maintaining social stability (China) has changed the Uighur autonomous region into something that resembles a massive internment camp that is shrouded in secrecy, a sort of \u2018no rights zone.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

The deprivation of rights is of course seen as necessary in order for China to succeed in its ambition to forcibly strip the Uyghur of their Muslim identity and subjugate them to Han dominance. Any presence of Islam is seen as the presence of terrorism and separatism.<\/p>\n

The Chinese government has said that these are simply \u201cvocational training centers<\/a>\u201d meant to eliminate \u201cthe soil for the survival of terrorism,\u201d\u00a0according<\/a>\u00a0to Shohrat Zakir, chairman of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. A speech delivered by Chinese Communist Youth League Xinjiang Branch, March 2017 stated: \u201cThe training has only one purpose: to learn laws and regulations \u2026 to eradicate from the mind thoughts about religious extremism and violent terrorism, and to cure ideological diseases. If the education is not going well, we will continue to provide free education, until the students achieve satisfactory results and graduate smoothly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of course, a major part of \u201cre-education\u201d involves the censoring and imprisonment of Uyghur intellectuals. Their alleged crimes are the standard ones \u2014 they are accused of preaching \u201cseparatism\u201d and called \u201ctwo-faced<\/a>.\u201d \u201cTwo-faced\u201d is a term applied by the government to Uyghur cadres who pay lip service to Communist Party rule in the XUAR but secretly push against state policies repressing members of their ethnic group.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Dolkun Isa, president of the exiled World Uighur Congress, has\u00a0claimed<\/a>that two million people are detained in \u201cconcentration camps\u201d in Xinjiang. The Uyghur Human Rights Project (UHRP)\u00a0estimates<\/a>\u00a0that some 435 intellectuals (mostly students, but also teachers and researchers) have been imprisoned or disappeared. According to the\u00a0Xinjiang Victims Database<\/a>, forty-nine individuals have died in custody or shortly after their release, among them religious scholars\u00a0Muhammad Salih Hajim<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Abdulehed Mehsum<\/a>; scholars\u00a0Abdusattar Qarahajim<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Erkinjan Abdukerim<\/a>; and students\u00a0Abdusalam Mamat, Yasinjan<\/a>,<\/u>\u00a0and\u00a0Mutellip Nurmehmet<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In response, an international\u00a0petition<\/a>\u00a0has been started by a group called\u00a0Concerned Scholars on China\u2019s Mass Detention of Turkic Minorities<\/a>. This group includes signatories such as Noam Chomsky, Judith Butler, Saskia Sassen, Hatem Bazian, Laleh Khalili, and hundreds more (including me). The letter does as good a job as any document laying out the broader implications of what China is doing in Xinjiang:<\/p>\n

China has defended its mass incarceration of Turkic Muslims on the basis of counter-terrorism. \u00a0However, it is also apparent that China is both seeking to embed its Xinjiang-focused policies in counter-terrorism cooperation with international partners and to export the methods and technologies that have underpinned its \u201csurveillance state\u201d in Xinjiang. If what is happening today in the XUAR is not addressed by the international community, there is a likelihood that we could see its replication in other authoritarian states who have used the label of \u201cterrorist\u201d to describe those who peacefully resist state hegemony.<\/em><\/p>\n
