Ass'n for Asian Studies Statement on Xinjiang, March 27, 2019 (Iwth Comment) H-Asia Ass'n for Asian Studies statement on Xinjiang, March 27, 2019 (iwth comment) Discussion published by Magnus Fiskesjö on Saturday, March 30, 2019 Following the Statement by Concerned Scholars on China’s Mass Detention of Turkic Minorities from November 26, 2018 [https://concernedscholars.home.blog], and a number of other appeals against China's mass atrocities in Xinjiang, the Association for Asian Studies has now, on March 27, 2019, issued its own statement, on the "Extra-Judicial Detention of Turkic Muslims in Xinjiang, PRC." It is an important statement that all Asia scholars should see. Here it is in full: http://www.asian-studies.org/asia-now/entryid/209/aas-statement-on-extra-judicial-detention-of-turkic- muslims-in-xinjiang-prc3/28/2019 The Association for Asian Studies expresses its strong concern over the detention of at least 800,000 and up to 2 million Uyghurs and other Turkic Muslims in political “re-education centers” in Xinjiang, Northwest China.1 Turkic Muslims have been interned, imprisoned, or forcibly “disappeared” since April 2017.2 Such detention constitutes a major violation of human rights and, in the case of our academic colleagues, a clear disregard for academic freedom. We are particularly dismayed at the disappearance of at least 386 Uyghur intellectuals and scholars, including 21 staff of Xinjiang University, 15 staff of Xinjiang Normal University, 13 staff of Kashgar University, 6 staff of Xinjiang Medical University, 6 staff of the Xinjiang Social Sciences Academy, 4 staff from Khotan Teachers’ College, and 101 students.3 Turkic Muslims have been denied the freedom to use their mother tongue, to pursue Qur’anic studies, or to study and research abroad.4 Those returning to China from periods of study or research have been recalled, detained, questioned, or caused to disappear into internment camps.5 Five deaths of students and scholars while in custody have been confirmed during this period.6 The Association for Asian Studies is a non-political, non-profit international professional association comprising some 7,000 members committed to the free and open dissemination of knowledge in and about Asia. We are a global community whose work thrives on active interaction between scholars and students from around the world. We decry these detentions in Xinjiang and strongly urge the Chinese government to ensure the safe return of our colleagues and students.

We should decry the mass detentions, including how the Chinese state targets the cultural elite of the Uighurs, Kazakhs and other groups with mass arrests of academics, artists, poets, and so on. But the wholesale targeting of ethnic culture and language means that this is now much bigger than even the up to 2 million people locked away in the new concentration camps system. Millions more face a concerted forced-assimilation campaign of which the detentions is a part: They are forced to denounce and abandon their culture and adopt Chinese ways, break food taboos, go into forced marriages, to stop speaking their own language (as mentioned in the statement), and many children are taken and sent to Chinese-only 'orphanages' while parents are in camps. The list goes on. Taken together, this means that the Chinese government campaign is now already a genocide, directed against the Muslim ethnicities of Xinjiang. Their campaign already clearly meets all five subdefinitions of the Geneva convention against genocide, as spelled out in its Article II, a-e: https://www.ohchr.org/en/professionalinterest/pages/crimeofgenocide.aspx "In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: (a) Killing members of the group; (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group." --Magnus Fiskesjö, [email protected] Citation: Magnus Fiskesjö.

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.

  • Access to Education in Xinjiang, China Dr. Mettursun Beydulla
    3-5 February 2014- Istanbul, Turkey Proceedings of INTCESS14- International Conference on Education and Social Sciences Proceedings 1750 Access to Education in Xinjiang, China Dr. Mettursun Beydulla (Fatih University) Alkent 2000 Mh., 34500 İstanbul, Turkey [email protected] Keywords: Uyghur, Education, Identity, Language, Islamic education, Xinjiang Abstract. Most of the world’s Uyghurs are indigenous to the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR), China. XUAR is home to 13 ethnic nationalities who make up 61% of the population, with Uyghurs making up 46.42 % (10,019,758). The Uyghur language is a depository of Uyghur culture and history and Islam is an element of identity that is intimately bound up with the Uyghur language. These two important concepts allow us to trace the broad dynamics of change in education as it relates to language, religion and identity through the late Qing period (1885-1911), the republican (1911-1949), and the Communist era (1949-present) in Xinjiang. This paper focuses on access to education in Xinjiang with information on language policies, religious education and opportunities for Uyghurs. There is also reference to Turkey's new outlook on the 'Kurdish' problem and links to bi-lingual education in the US as examples of what is done in other places. Both of these situations have relevance to the issues faced by Uyghurs in Xinjiang. 1. Introduction For Uyghurs, perceptions of educational development indispensably revolve around three key factors: religion, language and identity. Uyghurs, Turkic-speaking Sunni Muslims from the Hanifi school of Islam, are indigenous to the XUAR. Xinjiang, whose location makes it a crucial part of the “Silk Road,” is the historic channel by which Eastern Asia connects to Central Asia, South Asia, the Middle East, and Europe.

The first chapter, by Michael Dillon, gives a brief introduction to Uyghur history including an overview of Xinjiang and its location, Uyghur language and culture, the religious restrictions imposed over the years and various occasions of violence starting from the 1900s. The next chapter, by Joanne Smith and Xiaowei Zang, explores the language and education of the Xinjiang Uyghurs and how this had a direct impact on their identity. This chapter further defines ethnic identity and questions its relationship to social, cultural and religious practices.

  • The Tibet-Dzungar Ideological Alliance's Challenge to the Qing
    The Tibet-Dzungar Ideological Alliance’s Challenge to the Qing Empire and the Adaptation of Qing Ideology in the mid- 18th century Master’s Thesis (credits 45) Author: Xinyang Wang Supervisor: John Hennessey Seminar chair: Margaret Hunt Semester: Spring 2021 HISTORISKA INSTITUTIONEN Abstract The Yellow Hat Sect of Tibetan Buddhism exerted an important influence on the ideology of the Dzungar Empire and the Qing Empire. At the end of the 16th century, the rise of the Romanov and the Qing squeezed the living space of nomads. The Mongols, including the Dzungars, chose to convert to Tibetan Buddhism to regulate the increasing internal and external tensions. In the 17th and 18th centuries, the power structure of Central Eurasia continuously changed with the expansion of the Yellow Hat Sect’s cross-regional religious, political and economic systems and religious wars. By the 1740s, the Qing Empire established a new order in Tibet and its surrounding areas, as well as Mongolia, in other words, in most Tibetan Buddhist areas except Dzungaria. Due to the special relationship between the Dzungar and Tibet, the Dzungar constantly challenged the new ideological order constructed by the Qing with the “irrational” request of inviting Tibetan lamas. In response, the Qing constantly adjusted its strategy, which is the main problem discussed in this thesis. The ideological conflict between the two eventually led to a war that eliminated the Dzungar and the attempt to ontologically homogenize the Qing Empire in the post-Dzungar era. 1 Acknowledgements Thanks to my supervisor John Hennessey, who made me discover my interest in Qing ideology and has encouraged and helped me to study this topic.

  • The Xinjiang Class: Education, Integration, and the Uyghurs
    Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs, Vol. 30, No. 1, March 2010 The Xinjiang Class: Education, Integration, and the Uyghurs TIMOTHY A. GROSE Abstract In 2000, the Chinese Communist Party established the Xinjiang Class (Xinjiang neidi gaozhong ban), a program that funds middle school-aged students from Xinjiang, mostly ethnic Uyghur, to attend school in predominately Han populated cities located throughout eastern China. This paper examines the efficacy of the Xinjiang Class in promoting ethnic unity and Chinese nationalism. By examining the extent to which Uyghur students participating in the Xinjiang Class interact with Han students; speak Chinese outside of the classroom; and by considering if these Uyghur students are returning to Xinjiang, I argue that many Uyghurs are resisting integration, and the Xinjiang Class is largely failing to promote ethnic unity between Han and Uyghurs. Conversely, this program has even strengthened some Uyghur students’ sense of ethnic identity. Introduction Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) in 1949, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has controlled the apparatus of education, and the expansion of state-sponsored education has been a priority of the CCP in an attempt to unify China’s 56 ethnic groups (minzu) into one Chinese nation (zhonghua minzu). In this context, Linda Benson argues, “The ultimate goal for the PRC’s educational policy for minority peoples has been to integrate all ethnic groups into a single and unified socialist state”.1 Zhu Zhiyong, who has conducted extensive research on education in Tibet, contends, “State education for ethnic minorities has been considered one of the best ways to intensify the identity of the Chinese nation”.2 State-sponsored education is one of the CCP’s most valuable tools for instilling minority students with “pro- Chinese” principles.

[email protected] Keywords: Officer’s Report; Local Garrison in Xinjiang; Reasons of Rebellion Event. Abstract. In the early period after Qing dynasty’s government retook Xinjiang from invaders, there are many rebellion events happened in garrison army at this new province, causing serious consequences to the stability and political order at China western border. This paper will try to analyze reasons of these rebellion events based on the analysis of relative officer’s report ,especially Liu Jing Tang’s reports. 1. Introduction Rebellion, it is one of the most terminate result of national violence organization abandon it’s primary job. This happening means members of army abandon their rules and do not obey the command of former command system again. On the military history, rebellion isn’t a rear phenomenon: broad-scale, organize rebellion always as the result of complex social conflict’s developing and it’s final burst out, just as the Uprising in 1918 of German Imperial Navy. Comparing with it, small-scale rebellions always may be initiated by many reasons: personal conflict of army’s member, salary arrears , delay of duty’s term, or many other reasons. In many circumstances, gangs and underground religions will become the catalyst of rebellion. In the years after Qing dynasty’s government retook Xinjiang, many rebellion events happened in garrison force at this province, and these events made heavy impact to local rule order.
