This article, written by Zhu Hongjiao, Associate Professor at “Xinjiang” Arts Institute and published in Guangming Daily on 9 August 2026, sheds light on the current situation of #Uyghurs in #EastTurkistan through the perspective of #Chinese artists and art critics, not just politicians.

The core message of the article is to discuss “Xinjiang”-themed paintings and their development since 1949.

His core message is that contemporary artists should move beyond superficial, cliché-driven, and outdated “ethnic-style” imagery to depict real life, real people, and modern “Xinjiang” with depth, authenticity, and emotional truth.

While this sounds reasonable, it is, at its core, an intentional attempt to reframe Uyghur reality through art to serve a political agenda — this is precisely the ideological direction of the article.

It calls for “Xinjiang” art to move away from Uyghur centrality toward #Chinese national collectivism.

The piece mostly promotes Han Chinese artists, only to mention the famous Uyghur painter Ghazi Ahmed in passing, to portray “Xinjiang”’s reality through art in the eyes of the colonialists, implying that Uyghurs are now an absolute minority with little to no cultural significance to represent artistically.

It sends a chilling message that Uyghurs should no longer be the subject of artistic focus and even consideration — an indirect reflection of the massive, tragic, and irreversible demographic changes to Uyghur existence shaped by the #Uyghurgenocide.

The author does not say it explicitly but subtly implies it, confirming our anxiety that Uyghur life, cultural and existential, is fast disappearing not only in reality in their homeland but in its representation in artistic works of colonialists and others.

The gravity of separating Uyghur children from their detained (or deceased) parents is nightmarish.

This report highlights the crimes committed by the #Chinese colonial regime in #EastTurkistan against Uyghurs, in particular against Uyghur kids, the most vulnerable and innocent. This report is just the tip of the iceberg, whose depth we may never know for sure.

It tells harrowing stories of colonial violence, identity erasure, cultural disconnection, childhood abuse, and intergenerational trauma—acts that can be described as a heinous implementation of the “break the lineage policy.”

This crime can also be described as “to kill the #Uyghur in the child,” echoing another documentary with the same motive called “We Were Children,” — “To kill the Indian in the child” which depicted the physical, sexual, and emotional abuse inflicted on Indigenous children in church‑run residential schools in Canada.

This film can help you understand the abyss of human cruelty and institutionalised violence beyond language.

Chinese pressure campaign targets Turkish historical drama over Uyghur-themed scene

If true, another horror story of elite politics—full of backstabbing, purges, and assassination—is unfolding inside #China.

It is simply the latest chapter in the killing spree of the most dangerous serial killer of our time: Xi Jinping.

Even if the rumor proves false, it remains more plausible than fiction—until the next horror story makes it real.

[Dr. Mamtimin Ala @MamtiminAla]

A chilling account of famine in Linxia, Gansu, #China, the #CCP still hides.

The true measure of a civilisation — whether it claims 5,000 years or 1,000 — is how far it has risen above the barbaric impulse to eat each other, and how firmly it has built the institutional, moral, and spiritual barriers that prevent such collapse. Even the most savage animals rarely sink to that level.

Every society has a sacred duty to defend humaneness against such sub-animal cruelty towards each other.

Sometimes the more you claim for the greatest civilisation for the longest time, the more chilling barbarity you try to hide and justify.

[Dr. Mamtimin Ala @MamtiminAla]

This is pure #PLA doctrine: “cognitive domain operations” (认知域作战) layered on the older “Three Warfares”—public opinion, psychological, and legal.

The battlefield is the public mind.

The target is core belief itself—how people fundamentally see their world and their security.

The method is simple and ruthless: inflate fear, paint defeat as inevitable, and make resistance look irrational or suicidal.

It has already delivered results in #EastTurkistan and #Tibet, aligned with hardcore and oppressive assimilationist infrastructures.

The same playbook is now running hard in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the West.

China racks up real gains wherever societies already carry self-doubt, internal strifes and defeatism, especially against the backdrop of its carefully inflated superpower image.

The success is genuine and dangerous—but not total.

Open societies still have the tools for resilience and counter-narrative, even as they remain exposed to sustained Chinese propaganda penetration, influence and sabotage.

[Dr. Mamtimin Ala @MamtiminAla]

#China is speeding up a deeper assimilation process through the integration of #EastTurkistan into Han #Chinese culture, amid China’s recent ethnic unity legislation and related policies. It aims for a more thorough, holistic, forced and irreversible integration—as a shift towards (or institutionalisation of) assimilationist approaches that reduce or prepare to abolish autonomy frameworks and to complete the #Uyghurgenocide.

Turkiye calls Uyghurs the flesh of the Turkic nation. It's been selling that flesh to China since it traded us for missiles in 1996. The treachery never stopped; Ankara continues "security" and intelligence cooperation with Beijing against East Turkistan.

STRASAM'ın Doğu Türkistan'a gösterdiği hassasiyet kıymetlidir. Ancak bu öneriler asıl meseleyi ele almamaktadır.

Doğu Türkistan meselesi sadece bir insan hakları meselesi değildir. Bu, sömürgeci bir işgale ve bir milletin sistematik olarak yok edilmesine karşı verilen millî varlık ve bağımsızlığı yeniden kazanma mücadelesidir. Çin, Doğu Türkistan'ı işgal etmekte ve milletimizi soykırıma tabi tutmaktadır. İşgal sürdüğü müddetçe hiçbir insan hakları kararı, hiçbir kültürel koruma projesi netice vermeyecektir.

Türkiye'nin Çin ile Doğu Türkistan aleyhine yürüttüğü sözde "güvenlik" ve istihbarat iş birliği, işgali ve soykırımı doğrudan güçlendirmektedir. Derhal sona ermelidir.

Türkiye, kendisiyle hiçbir soy bağı bulunmayan Müslüman halkların davasını uluslararası kürsülerde yılmadan savunmuştur. Aynı iradenin öz soydaşlarından esirgenmesi izah edilemez. Türkiye, soydaşlık bağlarında samimi ise; Türk Devletleri Teşkilatı'nı, İslam İşbirliği Teşkilatı'nı ve diğer uluslararası kuruluşları kalıcı bir siyasi çözüm doğrultusunda harekete geçirmelidir.

Doğu Türkistan milletinin haklarını, hürriyetlerini ve bizatihi varlığını güvence altına alacak tek çözüm vardır: Doğu Türkistan'ın bağımsızlığının yeniden tesisi.

We stand alongside Tibetans to demand action from @UNDPPA and @UNOSAPG against China’s ongoing genocide and colonial occupation in East Turkistan and Tibet. As UN resolutions affirm, speedy independence is essential to the effective guarantee and observance of human rights.

📰East Turkistan and Tibet Demand U.N. Action on China’s Genocide and Colonial Occupation

NEW YORK — The East Turkistan Government in Exile and the East Turkistan National Movement joined the Tibetan Youth Congress and other Tibetan activists outside United Nations headquarters on Monday, July 13, to demand action against China’s genocide, colonial occupation and destruction of East Turkistan and Tibet.

The demonstration followed last week’s U.N. General Assembly debate on preventing genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity. Organizers criticized the assembly for failing to address China’s actions in East Turkistan and Tibet.

The protest came 11 days after Tibetan activist Lobga Rangzen died after self-immolating outside U.N. headquarters on July 2 while calling for Tibetan independence. His death underscored the urgency of confronting China’s colonial rule in Tibet.

Participants chanted, “Act now, U.N.! Act to end China’s ongoing genocide,” along with “China out of East Turkistan,” “China out of Tibet,” “We want justice,” “Independence for East Turkistan” and “Independence for Tibet.”

“The United Nations’ refusal to act in the face of documented genocide and colonial occupation is a grave failure of its Charter responsibilities and a betrayal of the principles it was created to defend,” said @SalihHudayar, foreign minister of the East Turkistan Government in Exile and leader of the East Turkistan National Movement. “We call on the United Nations and its member states to support an ICC investigation, impose targeted sanctions, recognize East Turkistan and Tibet as occupied countries, place them on the U.N. decolonization agenda, and support the restoration of their independence.”

The demonstration also marked six years since the East Turkistan Government in Exile and the @ETNational Movement filed a complaint with the @IntlCrimCourt seeking an investigation into genocide and crimes against humanity committed by Chinese authorities. The organizations have submitted four sets of evidence since 2020, but no investigation has been opened.

The groups also condemned China’s “Ethnic Unity and Progress Law,” saying it codifies forced assimilation, demographic colonization and the destruction of distinct national identities in East Turkistan, Tibet, Southern Mongolia and other territories under Chinese rule.

They called on the United Nations and its member states to demand repeal of the law, sanction the officials and institutions enforcing it, and act to prevent and punish China’s ongoing genocide. They also urged the General Assembly to place East Turkistan and Tibet on the U.N. decolonization agenda and affirm their peoples’ right to national self-determination and restored independence.

The groups said the United Nations cannot credibly commemorate past genocides while refusing to confront genocide and colonial occupation in the present.
