Docs are a little harder to find these days since the CCP scrubbed social media, but a significant update has been added re: detentions. Now the collection >350 docs & 1000s of pages (unlike @nytimes, it's publicly available). (hosted on a new link) xinjiang.sppga.ubc.ca/chines…

Professor Dr Rahile Davut, a world-renowned academic, was merely an innocent scholar doing her job and abiding by Chinese law.
Her only "crime" was researching the deep-rooted, authentic Uyghur folklore and Sufism. Because of this, she has been missing since 2018.
Every academic who upholds scholarly integrity and cannot be bought must claim her, because the most basic ethical or moral stance demands it.

🎂On the 60th birthday of #Uyghur professor Rahile Dawut, we have gathered messages from her friends, colleagues and former students.
Rahile was forcibly disappeared in 2017 and is reportedly serving a life sentence in #China.
Today we remember the many lives she has touched.

Before I go back to my X fast, I, personally, think correcting disinformation (especially propagated by high-profile individuals) is absolutely vital and is the responsibility of scholars. as many others do @vijayprashad lists (unverified) official mosques numbers.let's scrutinze

One strategy has been to repurpose mosques into eateries and other leisure spots. Located on Ariya Road (Ch. 阿热亚路), the popular café Zebra Commune (Ch. Banma gongshe) was originally a mosque...t.co/LdPgsGq2d8

I've made mistakes. Embarrassingly, some are in print. I don't fabricate sources or somehow allow non-existent sources to inform my analysis. Twitter will happily dogpile for mistakes I've made here--but the sources are real: prcleader.org/post/the-patie…

Errors often happen with citations for several reasons, carelessness being the most frequent. Now, with the apparent ease of the internet and artificial intelligence, these blunders can creep in at much higher rates. We apologise for the errors in some of our citations, which have been now corrected on the @monthly_review website:
Barring a correction to one paragraph, none of these faults alter the article itself nor blunt the force of our argument, behind which we stand 100%.

I've now checked with both Wang Hui and Wang Ke and confirmed that the works attributed to them in this article do not exist. @MaxBlumenthal can perhaps clarify the status of his piece. @vijayprashad @t_ings @monthly_review

I had some issues with the politics of this piece. But as I read into it, I encountered some issues with its sources as well. For example, the authors cite a “landmark essay” from 2019 by the Chinese intellectual Wang Hui 汪晖. But I can't find the essay they refer to.

Tings Chak and I from Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research write the Review of the Month in the April issue of the journal Monthly Review on "The Idea of the 'Uyghur Genocide' and the Realities of Xinjiang". We end with a consideration of the need for politics in debates around ethnicity. See our essay here, monthlyreview.org/articles/t….

.@GroseTimothy: “A troubling misconception seems to have taken hold: state violence targeting Uyghurs is over. In reality, the party-state’s infrastructure of repression has become more deeply entrenched in the region.”

I do appreciate that @SXiaochuan258 and @ChinaDaily are being C-PC correct now (see what I did there?!). A few years ago, they accused me of "Tibetan" separatist activities. Today, it's Xizang separatist!

Ummm....ok. sure, terms like 一般户 do not determine lengths of house stays.... yet, here they do😂 and, I'll die on this hill: fanghuiju--see OP--is about surveillance. (reposted for clarity)

Nice try 😂😂 It’s a national poverty-alleviation household card that can be seen all over poor parts of China… its not a security-risk chart.
“一般户” here just means the family is not classed as poor, and the “帮扶干部” box lists the cadre assigned to help with poverty-related paperwork… not surveillance. They usually get an annual or semi annual courtesy visit to keep the card up to date. It even says ”家庭医生“ which means a family doctor for poor families so everyone can have healthcare in the village.
This is just about economic status.. nothing to do with trustworthiness, nor how often someone must sleep in their home
