    > The official documents China's new cotton-quality regulation show how cotton production is being integrated into a system of land transfer, labor mobilisation, political instruction, and digital surveillance.

  9. I think most countries abandoned forced sterilization after WW2, but I hear it's making a comeback in the USA as well. Critical support for the comrades in DHS, I guess.

  10. Don't worry, the PEOPLE'S cultural genocide will set those nasty Uyghurs right! Just a few more generations of 'reeducation camps' and sterilization, promise!

  11. 去年我在播客裡訪談菊爾・伊力哈木(Jewher Ilham),她提到伊力哈木・土赫提(Ilham Tohti)的故郷:阿圖什(Atush),當時她是這麼說的:

    「阿圖什並不大,但是很有名。在維吾爾地區,阿圖什人也非常有名。維吾爾人在國外,無論是美國還是歐洲,從阿圖什出生的人佔大多數。我們維吾爾人有一個諺語,說阿圖什人是維吾爾人裡面相當於猶太人的一個存在,愛讀書,愛經商,愛打拼。」 ( diyin.org/podcast/2024/12/ilha

    這個地名對我來說非常陌生,沒有任何概念。看王柯在《「東突厥斯坦獨立運動」的起源》裡提到阿圖什,我才知道這個地方如此重要。

    他說「近代維吾爾文化啟蒙運動」最早開始於天山南部維吾爾的社會文化和經濟中心喀什噶爾(Kashgar)地區,阿圖什就位於此。1883年,在阿圖什縣的依克沙克地方,著名資本家 Musabayow 兄弟倡議開辦了維吾爾社會第一座新式學校。Musabayow 兄弟還送維吾爾青年到俄羅斯喀山(Kazan)地區留學,這些人學成以後就回到依克沙克的學校,根據當時喀山和土耳其伊斯坦堡學校的課程設置教學內容。到1892年,由 Musabayow 兄弟派往俄羅斯和土耳其的留學生已超50人,Musabayow 家族負擔全部費用。喀山這個地方好像默默無聞,但據日本學者山內昌之說:「喀山在1905年革命後成為俄國穆斯林的政治、文化中心,在伊斯蘭世界中扮演着並不亞於伊斯坦堡、開羅、貝魯特的角色」。

    他還提到,Musabayow 兄弟在依克沙克設立新式學校之後,還從土耳其聘請學者前來任教,Ahemet Kamal 即是其中之一。Ahemet 1907年(一說1913年)在依克沙克辦起了維吾爾社會第一所師範學校。

  12. Incidentally #Uyghurs, the predominantly muslim turkic people being genocided by the settler-colonialist #dictatorship of #China, are famous for their delectable watermelons... 🍉

    Apparently the expansive Arab-islamic cause — famous since the 7th century — and specifically its #Palestine branch is more righteous than Uyghurs' right to their one and only ancestral land. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    The Chinese really could just withdraw their settlers who all have their precious ancestral homes in actual China.

    The #Jews of #Israel have at least tried, at times, sharing their ancestral lands with the Arabs who settled after their exodus, right?

    I do wonder why one struggle gets called #genocide while the one-sided eradication of a people in Central Asia doesn't. 🧐

  13. 📜 CCP uses Unesco (UN) to rewrite history.

    「But there is more to China’s efforts [through Unesco #worldheritage status] than increasing tea sales and tourism. The Communist Party claims that present-day China, which has dozens (perhaps hundreds) of ethnic minorities, is a single nation with a continuous history stretching back thousands of years. National identity is conflated with that of the Han, the ethnic group accounting for more than 90% of the population. China’s heritage laws aim to maintain “the unification of the country” and foster “social harmony”. In practice, this often means distorting history so that it aligns with the party’s view of the past and reinforces its vision of nationhood.」

    The actual imperial military occupations and settler colonialism of both Tibetan and Uyghur homelands only began soon after Chinese communists had overthrown the Republic of China (the losing Kuomintang nationalists fled to Taiwan...). Chinese had no foothold on the previously nearly inaccessible Tibetan plateau so Mao sent entire 'PLA' armies there, equipped with modern *foreign* weaponry and gear. Besides all the massacres that followed — an estimated one million Tibetans were killed — the Chinese invaders looted and destroyed as much of Tibet's invaluable heritage as they could. While major monasteries (functioning as *the* key places of religion and learning in the Buddhist society) were looted, ransacked, defaced and partially destroyed, in total almost all of the country's 3,000 places of worship were simply destroyed; some were used for... artillery target practice.

    The more accessible East Turkestan (ch: '#xinjiang') was targeted for settler #colonialism by establishing a new paramilitary settler corps, #Bingtuan. Those (ex-)soldiers were not only provided with Han Chinese brides but they were allowed to keep their AK-47s... You can guess what happened to the Uyghur homeland next.
