    To whom it may concern, What follows is public testimony data exported from the Xinjiang Victims Database (shahit.biz) on Fri, 01 Oct 2021 06:26:39 +0000. A total of 75 victims with the following criteria is considered: List: Foreign citizens The vast majority of testimonies presented come with supplementary materials - video, audio, pictures, and documents - the links to which are included here and which also may be consulted by accessing the testimonies via the original interface at www.shahit.biz. In compiling this information, all efforts have been made to faithfully and accurately convey that which has been put forth by the testifier. In many cases, the information was imported from public sources. In others, it was submitted to us directly by the testifier. Despite our best efforts and most professional intentions, it is inevitable that some human error is nevertheless present. Many testimonies were inputted by non-native English speakers and still require proofreading. Finally, the majority of these testimonies have not gone through rigorous corroboration and as such should not be treated as fact. We hereby leave the way in which this data will be used to the reader's discretion. Sincerely, the shahit.biz team 66.

The new Canadian Prime Minister was determined to ensure that his country could recognize the Communist regime. Sino-Canadian rapprochement seemed impossible at a time when Canada’s closest ally, the United States was opposing the movement and China was shunned by the Western world. This thesis will explore the reasons that could explain how it is that the two governments suddenly shifted positions at such a politically sensitive moment in history. Furthermore, while existing accounts of Sino-Canadian rapprochement highlight both countries’ external relations, this thesis will explore the outcomes of such a political change. Lastly, this thesis will look into factors that keep the Canadian-Sino relation strong and factors that could potentially damage or rupture the relation.

    About Face: Explaining Changes in Canada’s China Policy, 2006-­‐‑2012 Kim Richard Nossal and Leah Sarson Queen’s University Paper presented to the Annual Meetings of the Canadian Political Science Association University of Victoria 6 June 2013 About Face: Explaining Changes in Canada’s China Policy, 2006-­‐‑2012 Zhou Enlai, premier of the People’sRepublic of China from 1949 to 1976, once famously said that for China“there is no small matter in foreign affairs” (cited in Yang, 1995: 91). By this he meant that Chinese foreign policy decision-­‐‑making on all issues, large and small, is deeply centralized at the very highest levels of the political leadership.Certainly for the contemporary leadership in Beijing, relations with Canada have clearly been “no small matter.” On the contrary: after the Conservatives under Stephen Harperdefeated the Liberal government of Paul Martin in the January 2006 elections, the new Conservative government came to office with a distinctly unfriendly attitude towards the People’s Republic of China. The government in Beijing worked assiduously to disabuse the new Harper government that Sino-­‐‑Canadian relations could be built on the same formula that the Chineseused to characterize relations between China and Japan—“cold politics, hot economics .”1 It took several years, but the Conservative governmentslowly shifted its policy, the shift in the Canada-­‐‑China relationship tracking the Conservative trajectory towards a majority government in 2011. But by that time, as Paul Evans has noted, “Conservative policy had returned very close to where Paul Martin had left it five years earlier” (2011: 24). What accounts for this dramatic shift in Conservative policy? We will argue that the turn to Chinathat begin in late 2008, and intensified in2009, reflected two broad themes and three policy shifts.

  • Criminal Charge for Terrorism in Chinese Jurisdiction: Improvement and Contradictions
    Criminal charge for terrorism in Chinese Jurisdiction: Improvement and contradictions Renata Thiebaut SJD Candidate at Koguan Law School Shanghai Jiaotong University, China Contact information Address: 1954 Hua Shan Road. Xuhui District, Shanghai. China. Zip code: 200030 Phone number: 86-15618659602 Email: [email protected] Curriculum Vitae: Renata Thiebaut has been living in China for over 6 years. She has studied at top Chinese universities such as Renmin University, Tsinghua University and Shanghai Jiaotong University, all with full government scholarships. Her career trajectory includes working for non-governmental and governmental institutions, the United Nations, as well as several training and in loco research on humanitarian aid in Lebanon and North Korea. Renata’s large experience in Chinese Politics and Law has allowed her to publish several papers and take part into selective Chinese government meetings. Currently she works for East China Normal University as a professor of Chinese migration policies while she pursues her doctorate in Chinese Politics and Law. Abstract: As a responsible stakeholder and a veto power, China has shown to be complacent to the global war on terror by signing and ratifying most of international documents on the matter. Domestically, however, the Chinese Criminal Code has shown gaps and controversies, lacking a criminal legal definition and bringing controversial criminal liability of terrorist crimes. According to the Law, terrorist crimes are similar to ordinary crimes. The main difference between them relies on the global threat terrorism represents, which disturbs social stability as well as threatens national and international security. The rising concern over terrorism has emerged the need to adequate legal apparatus.
