This chapter looks at one of the Chinese government channels employed to raise public awareness among Uyghurs about the new laws and regulations. It discusses the content of an officially published Uyghur-written booklet Din esebiyliki ademni nabut qilidu (Religious extremism kills/destroys people) and analyses in what way legal regulations are explained to the “common” Uyghurs. This chapter also identifies various propaganda strategies within the official narrative of the Chinese government. (Less)
