The War in the Shadows: Challenges of Fighting Terrorism in Xinjiang - a short documentary about the situation in Xinjiang from the Chinese side, produced by China Global Television Network[1]

Xinjiang is the focus of the Chinese government's Strike Hard Campaign, a social control research project targeting Turkic Muslims.

It is equally prominent in a US led effort to sabotage the Chinese New Silk Roads trade project, a campaign involving support to armed groups and a massive propaganda campaign with a barrage of dubiously sourced claims of Chinese atrocities. (see: Adrian Zenz)

War on Terror

The 2014 Kunming Attack caused the Chinese government to increase their suppressive efforts of religious freedom in the province.[2]
