Xinjiang: Understanding Complexity, Building Peace
General aim: To give institutions a report as unbiased, independent and reliable as possible, in order to raise the quality of the debate and thus the relative political decisions.
Specific aims: To circulate this report to mass media and in public fora of various nature (i.e. human rights summits) as well as at the institutional level, with the purpose of enriching the reader’s knowledge and understanding of this region, given its huge implications in the world peace process.
As is well known, for some years now highly politicised anti-Chinese propaganda campaigns have targeted the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, often spreading groundless, non-verifiable or outright false information, triggering on these bases a sanctions war and causing serious damage to international relations. There is a dramatic lack of unbiased and alternative documentation on the topic, especially by researchers who have lived and studied in China and Xinjiang.
This report aims to fill this gap, by deepening and contextualising the region and its real political, economic and social dynamics, and offering an authoritative and documented point of view vis-à- vis the reports that Western politicians currently have at their disposal.
The ultimate goal of this documentation is to promote an informed public debate on the topic and offer policymakers and civil society a different point of view from the biased and specious accusations coming from the Five Eyes countries, the EU and some NGOs and think-tanks.
Recently some Swedish researchers have done a great job of deconstructing the main Western allegations about the situation in the autonomous region of Xinjiang. This report starts off with an introduction to the region from an historical, geographic and economic perspective and then proceeds to deepen the origins and evolution of the separatist and terrorist phenomenon that has hit Xinjiang in the last decades. The report goes on to analyse Beijing’s response to these problems both at the national and multilateral level. The last chapter describes the latest anti-Chinese propaganda campaigns and their geopolitical implications, especially those related to Xinjiang. We have almost entirely limited our sources to those who have studied or lived in China and Xinjiang and are involved in the geopolitical dynamics of the region in different ways: these sources are verifiable and come from different professional fields and regions of the world, obviously including China, whose point of view is often refused a priori for purely ideological reasons.
Thanks for your attention and your support to this initiative for peace.
