- Title: Vow of Loyalty (to the party): 发声亮剑 (Fāshēng liàngjiàn)
- Audio:
- Description: This is an audio recording of how to pronounce 发声亮剑 (Fāshēng liàngjiàn). Fasheng liangjian means literally “to vocalize and to brandish swords,” which is a political confession ritual involving forced ‘vows of loyalty‘ to the party and authority. An example can be seen at the Changji People’s Procuratorate 2018 “Special Ethics Lecture,” where presenters vocalize party views on morality, the rule of law, religion, and other topics pertinent to a unified, stable China. This vow of loyalty is particularly applied in the context of Xinjiang to emphasize a performative avowal to adhere to the official discourse. Another example can be found in Hetian People’s Government site.
