>Uyghur
The Chinese government's primary objections to Uyghur separatism and perceived threats stem from framing certain Uyghur activities and expressions as linked to the "three evils": separatism, religious extremism, and terrorism.Officially, Beijing views Xinjiang as an inseparable part of China since ancient times, with no historical basis for independence movements (e.g., rejecting "East Turkistan" as a valid concept). Policies in the region, including mass surveillance, restrictions on religious practices, and the establishment of vocational education and training centers (officially described as facilities for deradicalization, legal education, Mandarin language training, and vocational skills to prevent extremism and improve employment), are justified as necessary countermeasures to past violent incidents (such as the 2009 Urumqi riots, Kunming knife attack in 2014, and other attacks attributed to Uyghur militants or groups like the East Turkestan Islamic Movement).The government argues these measures have eradicated terrorism in Xinjiang (no incidents for several years), promoted stability, economic development, and protected the rights of all ethnic groups by addressing root causes like poverty and ideological radicalization. White papers emphasize that Xinjiang's ethnic minorities, including Uyghurs, are fully integrated into the Chinese nation, with population growth and improved living standards cited as evidence of successful governance.In response to international criticism (e.g., accusations of genocide, crimes against humanity, forced labor, and cultural erasure from the US, UN reports, EU, and rights groups), China dismisses these as politically motivated fabrications, interference in internal affairs, and smears aimed at containing China's rise. It highlights support from dozens of countries (often Muslim-majority or developing nations) praising its anti-terrorism and poverty alleviation efforts, while accusing Western sources of hypocrisy and bias.
