  • Title: Beauty Project: 靓丽工程 (Liànglì gōngchéng)
  • Creator: Xinjiang Documentation Project
  • Language:
  • Item Type: Sound File
  • Description: This is an audio recording of how to pronounce 靓丽工程 (Liànglì gōngchéng). The “Beauty Project” was a campaign launched by the Xinjiang Women’s Federation on February 27, 2011. Many of its efforts were couched in ideas of empowerment and breaking from tradition, and its stated goals were twofold. First, it called on women from all of Xinjiang’s ethnic groups to support the region’s jewelry, clothing, and cosmetics industries and to start their own businesses. And second, it sought to bring these women in line with “modern culture” through education, propaganda, mobilization, and public activities that emphasized physical and “spiritual” beauty. According to Zhou Zunyou, these objectives were secondary to the campaign’s real ambition: to discourage the practice of wearing veils and other garments “associated with conservative Islam.” The Beauty Project concluded on June 25, 2016.

  • Title: Becoming Family Campaign: 访惠聚 (Fǎng huì jù)
  • Creator: Xinjiang Documentation Project
  • Language:
  • Item Type: Sound File
  • Description: This is an audio recording of how to pronounce 访惠聚 (Fǎng huì jù). The campaign is officially known as the “explore the people’s conditions; benefit the people’s livelihood, and fuse with the people’s sentiments.” Fanghuiju is the short term for the three phrases 访民情, 惠民生, and 聚民心 (literally “Visit the People, Benefit the People, and Get Together the Hearts of the People“).The implementation of this campaign involves rotating 200,000 mid-level party cadres into rural villages over the three years starting in 2014. While this campaign ostensibly mirrors the mass line of the Mao era, these visits are primarily for surveillance and to monitor potential religious or “extremist” behaviors in the domestic realm.

  • Language:
  • Item Type: Sound File
  • Description: This is an audio recording of how to pronounce 便民卡 (Biànmín kǎ). The Bianmin Card, literally “the convenient for the people” card, is an “internal passport” that residents of Xinjiang must carry if they are living away or traveling to other parts of the region. This card contains contact information of an official in the card holder’s hometown and ensures a rigid accountability of the physical presence of the card holder. Whether they are going through security checkpoints, boarding long-distance trains or entering government buildings, the card holder must show this convenient card. It is worthwhile to note that the Bianmin Card is generally only required for Uyghurs and is not necessary for their Han counterparts in Xinjiang. This bianminka system was abolished two years after it was introduced because the state now has a much more thorough and systemic control in Xinjiang.

  • Title: Bilingual Education: 双语教育 (shuāngyǔ jiàoyù)
  • Creator: Xinjiang Documentation Project
  • Language:
  • Item Type: Sound File
  • Description: This is an audio recording of how to pronounce 双语教育 (shuāngyǔ jiàoyù). “Bilingual” education in China is a policy that requires ethnic schools to promote the use of Mandarin as the main language of instruction for non-Han students and to teach them their native languages as a subject. One of the official aims of “bilingual” education is for non-Han students to become fluent in Chinese and strengthen their national identity towards the Chinese Nation (中华民族). In Xinjiang, since 2004, Mandarin has gradually been replacing native languages as the medium of instruction in compulsory education and later on in kindergarten. Starting from 2017, some schools stopped teach non-Han languages altogether and have banned their use from the school campus. Increasingly, what has formerly been called “bilingual” education is now being referred to as “national common language” education greatly contributing to the marginalization of Xinjiang’s non-Han languages and language loss.
