The gift was a token of appreciation from the family to the police. “Every single charitable cause in this community, every public building that was built for a charitable cause has Tony’s name on it, the Amanti name on it, and Advance Manufacturing’s name on it.

In Xinjiang the international lingua franca English, the national official language Mandarin Chinese, and major Turkic languages such as Uyghur and Kazakh interact and compete for linguistic prestige in different social scenarios. The power relations between the Turkic languages, including the Uyghur language, and Mandarin Chinese is one in which minority languages are surrounded by a dominant state language supported through various institutions such as school and mass media. The much greater symbolic capital that the “legitimate language” Mandarin Chinese carries enables its native speakers to have easier access than the native Turkic speakers to jobs in the labor market. Therefore, many Uyghur parents face the dilemma of choosing between maintaining their cultural and linguistic identity and making their children more socioeconomically mobile. The entry of the global language English and the recent capitalist development in China has led to English education becoming market-oriented and commodified, which has further complicated the linguistic picture in Xinjiang.

Securing Xinjiang would turna weakly defended 'back door' to China into a strategic strongpointfrom which Beijing canproject influence into Central Asia. The CCP's strategy is to comprehensively encircle Xinjiang with Han people and institutions, a Han­ dominated economy, and supporting infrastructure emanatingfrom inner China A successful program of Sinicisation would transform Xinjiang from a Turkic-language-speaking, largely Muslim, physically remote, economically under-developed region- one that is vulnerable to separation from the PRC - into one that will be substantially more culturally similar to, and physically connected with, the traditional Han-dominated heartland of inner China. Once achieved, complete Sinicisation would mean Xinjiang would be extremely difficult to separate from China. In Xinjiang, the CCP enacts policies in support of Sinication across all areas of statecraft. This thesis categorises these activities across three dimensions: the economic and demographic dimension, the political and cultural dimension, and the security and international cooperationdimension.

LIPROOFS_5.23.19 5/23/2019 10:00 AM FIGHTING THE “THREE EVILS”: A STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF COUNTER-TERRORISM LEGAL ARCHITECTURE IN CHINA Enshen Li* ABSTRACT In the aftermath of September 11 attacks, China has not been immune to the global trend of destructive terrorism. However, China’s perceptions of terrorism and legal responses to it greatly diverge from those of other countries. This Article first seeks to understand the cause, source, and impact of terrorist threats in China, known as “Three Evils”—terrorism, extremism, and separatism, through a critical inquiry of the country’s ethnic and religious policies. It then proceeds to delineate China’s legal framework for combating the “Three Evils” to explore the cultural characteristics of the government’s approach against these rising threats. Tracing the evolution of the country’s counter-terrorism laws and policies, this Article argues that China has developed an operational infrastructure composed of four strands to fight terrorism: crackdown, criminalization, control, and cooperation.

    Testimony before the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission China and South Asia March 10, 2016 Daniel S. Markey [email protected] Senior Research Professor in International Relations and Academic Director, Global Policy Program, Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies; Adjunct Senior Fellow for India, Pakistan, and South Asia, Council on Foreign Relations Members of the Commission, Thank you for this opportunity to address you today as part of your hearing on China’s role in South Asia. It is an honor to participate with other leading experts on this topic. As you have offered a series of questions to guide our discussion, I have endeavored to answer each question in turn. My answers tend to reflect a South Asia-heavy perspective and are informed, in part, by a recent research trip to Pakistan. Let me observe from the outset, however, that the topic is an extremely timely and exciting one. China’s new initiatives and ambitions should make it clear that we must focus greater attention on strategic connections across Asia and not be wedded to a longstanding tradition of stove-piping our policy and academic research between East, South, Central, and West Asia. Over the coming decades, as the region becomes increasingly interconnected, our strategies and policies must keep pace. 1. Describe the tenor of China-Pakistan relations in recent years. To what extent has the Xi Administration pursued relations with Pakistan similarly to or differently from previous administrations? The China-Pakistan relationship has experienced a burst of high-profile activity in recent years, centered on the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor and linked to China’s broader ambitions for its western periphery.

  • United States 4.0 Introduction This Chapter Critically Examines The
    Chapter 4: United States 4.0 Introduction This chapter critically examines the evolution of counter terrorist financing (CTF) legislation in the United States of America1 and identifies how its CTF policy has adversely affected the right to a public trial. Whilst little attention by regulatory agencies was paid to terrorist financing prior to September 11 2001,2 the terrorist attacks spurred the U.S. into taking action against the funding of terrorism. This action came in the form of a wealth of legislation aimed at starving the flow of funds to terrorists. This chapter focuses on the consequences that these laws have had on the right to a public trial in the U.S and argues that the emergency measures adopted in the wake of September 11 have become institutionalized, as acts of terrorism have become more prevalent.3 The permanence of these once temporary measures in conjunction with any deviation from legal processes and derogation from human rights at times of emergency calls into question the legitimacy of the U.S. CTF legislative framework. The chapter begins by discussing the CTF measures that predate September 11 and it then goes on to examine the monumental legislative shift away from financial crime in the U.S. following the attacks. The chapter looks at the manner in which these laws, in particular the Presidential Executive Order 13,224 and Title III of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act 20014 were swiftly implemented. Next, the chapter identifies and examines the U.S.
