Book Description
Seminar paper from the year 2017 in the subject Politics - Region: South Asia, grade: 1,7, University of Aarhus, language: English, abstract: This paper addresses the following questions: First, what is the origin of the conflict between Uyghurs and Han Chinese, which make up the central government? Second, who are the terrorist organizations in Xinjiang and what impact do they have on China? And as a third question, which counterterrorism measures are used by the Chinese government to fight domestic terrorism and in how far are they appropriate to achieve a more peaceful security environment in the region and the country? After the 9/11 attacks, not only the US, but also countries all around the globe realized the comprehensive threat posed to them by terrorist organizations. Consequently, a revision and enhancement of the counterterrorism capabilities took place all over. This also happened in the People’s Republic of China (PRC), which widened their counterterrorism measures and joined Bush’s ‘war on terror’. The target of this newly inflamed campaign was mainly the Uyghur population of Xinjiang district, seen as a major threat of domestic unrest by the Chinese government. Separated from China proper through a wide geographical distance and the differing culture of Islam, this region had been a child of sorrow for them for a long time. Because of that, the central government used the chance to intensify their fight against separatism and extremist terrorism, which it assumed to be originating mainly in XInjiang. However, China is facing a peak of terrorist attacks since 2014, which proves their strategy of proceeding with cruelty far from perfect. Therefore, this paper will have a closer look at the ‘Uyghur case’ and assesses the authorities' counterterrorism measures. For this analysis, mainstream literature by Krueger & Malečková and Kydd & Walter is used, which examines the impact of economic factors on the likelihood to join a terrorist organization and the consequences of indiscriminate counterterrorism measures. Finally, it will postulate some policy advice, useful for maintaining stability in the area while at the same time reducing the threat of terrorist attacks for the country.

Book Description
"This report presents new evidence of the Chinese government's mass arbitrary detention, torture, and mistreatment, and the increasingly pervasive controls on daily life. Throughout the region, the Turkic Muslim population of 13 million is subjected to forced political indoctrination, collective punishment, restrictions on movement and communications, heightened religious restrictions, and mass surveillance in violation of international human rights law."--Publisher website, viewed September 19, 2018.

Book Description
With links to the global jihad, the indigenous insurgency and terrorism in Xinjiang challenges the security and stability of China. This book examines the prevailing scholarship on ethnic and minority conflicts and argues that the root cause of the conflict in China, especially in Xinjiang is not only about religious extremism, but also about the systematic violation of basic rights and insensitivity towards minority identities by the state. As our analysis demonstrates, the Islamist terrorist threat to China is manifestly clear and not ambiguous. However, Beijing needs to develop an appropriate counter-terrorism posture that is transparent, legitimate and fair and addresses the concerns of the international community.

Book Description
China's problem with terrorism has historically been considered an outgrowth of Beijing's efforts to integrate the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region into the People's Republic of China. Since the end of the Cold War, however, this internal dynamic has converged with an evolving external environment, stimulating the development of linkages between Uyghur separatism and terrorism and broader terrorist movements in Central Asia, South Asia and the Middle East. This book brings together some of the leading experts on Chinese terrorism, offering the first systematic, scholarly assessment of the country's approaches to this threat. Four areas of investigation are looked at: the scope and nature of terrorism in China and its connection with developments in other regions; the development of legislative measures to combat terrorism; the institutional evolution of China's counter-terrorism bureaucracy; and Beijing's counter-terrorism cooperation with international partners.

Book Description
This book investigates how Uyghur-related violent conflict and Uyghur ethnic minority identity, religion, and the Xinjiang region, more broadly, became constituted as a ‘terrorism’ problem for the Chinese state. Building on securitization theory, Critical Terrorism Studies (CTS), and the scholarly definitional debate on terrorism, it develops the concept of terroristization as a critical analytical framework for the study of historical processes of threat construction. Investigating the violent events reported in Xinjiang since the early 1980s, the evolving discursive patterns used by the Chinese state to make sense of violent incidents, and the crackdown policies that the official terrorism discourse has legitimized, the book demonstrates how the securitization, and later terroristization, of Xinjiang and the Uyghurs, is the result of a discursive and political choice of the Chinese state. The author reveals the contingent and unstable nature of such construction, and how it problematizes the inevitability of the rationale behind China’s ‘war on terror’, that has prescribed a brutal crackdown as the most viable approach to governing the tensions that have historically characterized China’s rule over the Turkic Muslim ethnic minorities in Xinjiang. This book will be of interest to scholars and students of the politics of contemporary China, security and ethnic minority issues, International Relations and Security, as well as those adopting discursive approaches to the study of security, notably those within the critical security and terrorism studies fields.

Book Description
How China is using the US-led war on terror to erase the cultural identity of its Muslim minority in the Xinjiang region Within weeks of the September 11 attacks on New York and Washington, the Chinese government warned that it faced a serious terrorist threat from its Uyghur ethnic minority, who are largely Muslim. In this explosive book, Sean Roberts reveals how China has been using the US-led global war on terror as international cover for its increasingly brutal suppression of the Uyghurs, and how the war's targeting of an undefined enemy has emboldened states around the globe to persecute ethnic minorities and severely repress domestic opposition in the name of combatting terrorism. Of the eleven million Uyghurs living in China today, more than one million are now being held in so-called reeducation camps, victims of what has become the largest program of mass detention and surveillance in the world. Roberts describes how the Chinese government successfully implicated the Uyghurs in the global terror war—despite a complete lack of evidence—and branded them as a dangerous terrorist threat with links to al-Qaeda. He argues that the reframing of Uyghur domestic dissent as international terrorism provided justification and inspiration for a systematic campaign to erase Uyghur identity, and that a nominal Uyghur militant threat only emerged after more than a decade of Chinese suppression in the name of counterterrorism—which has served to justify further state repression. A gripping and moving account of the humanitarian catastrophe that China does not want you to know about, The War on the Uyghurs draws on Roberts's own in-depth interviews with the Uyghurs, enabling their voices to be heard.
