Dear MEL Topic Readers,

ABCs of vocational and training centers in Xinjiang

Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region is an autonomous region of the People’s Republic of China, located in the far northwest of the country. It spans over 1.6 million , nearly twice the size of Turkey. The region has a population of over 20 million and is home to various ethnic groups, such as the Uyghur, Han, Kazakhs, Tibetans, Hui, Tajiks, Kyrgyz, Mongols, and Russians. Nearly half of this diverse ethnic population are Uyghurs, most of whom are Muslims.

According to China Daily, there had been a large number of acts of terrorism took place and civilians and police officers were killed between 1990 and 2016. It also states that religious extremists have been trying to brainwash those who have limited communication or interaction with the outside world with strong religious doctrines to engage in a holy war against the secular government. In order to cope with extremism and terrorism, vocational education and training centers were set up to stop spreading such movement by isolating those who were influenced by such extremism. There, they learn the Chinese language and laws, vocational skills, and deradicalization to stay away from violent extremist groups with freedom in language, belief, customs, and cultural needs. As a result, no violent activities have occurred since 2016 and tourism has boomed, according to the media arm of the Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China.

Enjoy reading the other side of the story about Xinjiang vocational and training centers.
