| Summary/Abstract |
Since President Xi Jinping started his second term in 2017, Chinese forces
have imprisoned up to two million Uyghurs in detention camps, which
Beijing claims are educational centers for vocational training.1 The international community has alleged human rights violations in Xinjiang, but Beijing
defends that China’s measures are necessary to eradicate the so-called “three evils
of terrorism, separatism, and extremism.”2 Regarding Beijing’s motivations behind the repressive measures in Xinjiang, much analysis has focused on the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) views of internal security, social control, and
Han-ethno nationalism
