- Title: Pomegranate Seeds: 石榴籽 (shíliúzǐ)
- Creator: Xinjiang Documentation Project
- Language:
- Item Type: Sound File
- Description: This is an audio recording of how to pronounce 石榴籽 (shíliúzǐ). Pomegranate Seeds are the most recent metaphor for minzu unity in China. At a Xinjiang Work Forum held by the central governments in May 2014, Xi Jinping encouraged all minzu groups in China to nestle tightly together as if they were pomegranate seeds (read more here). Since then, the metaphor has spread to every corner of Xinjiang. This metaphor can be seen in newspapers, TV commercials, public posters, and statues on the streets, as part of the symbolic construction of all minzu in one family of the Chinese Nation (中华民族). Using metaphors, like this one, to propagate minzu unity has a long history in China. The initial metaphor was the Big Family (大家庭), which was created by the CCP in 1949. In 1989, Fei Xiaotong, a famous Chinese ethnologist, came up with the concept of the Big Garden (大花园) to describe cultural diversity and unity in China. Compared with the Big Garden metaphors, the Pomegranate Seeds heavily emphasizes minzu cohesion among different groups rather than diversity.

- Title: Poverty Alleviation: 扶贫 (Fúpín)
- Creator: Xinjiang Documentation Project
- Language:
- Item Type: Sound File
- Description: This is an audio recording of how to pronounce 扶贫 (Fúpín). The CCP defines “Poverty Alleviation” as a socialist mission to eliminate poverty, improve the quality of the people’s livelihood, and become a “well off” (小康) society by 2020. In 2016, the State Council’s 13th Five-Year Plan issued guidelines for poverty alleviation through industrial development, labor training and transfer, relocation, and other means to target specific rural low-income households in western regions of China. In Xinjiang’s context, this agenda has led to coerced labor of Uyghur detainees to work in the auxiliary factories of the internment camps, and mass relocation to factories in Inner China.

- Title: Religious Extremism: 宗教极端主义 (Zōngjiào jíduān zhǔyì)
- Creator: Xinjiang Documentation Project
- Language:
- Item Type: Sound File
- Description: This is an audio recording of how to pronounce 宗教极端主义 (Zōngjiào jíduān zhǔyì). A Chinese Government White Paper on Freedom of Religious Belief in Xinjiang (June 2016) discusses religious extremism in the following terms “Affected by international religious extremism, religious extremism has grown and spread in Xinjiang in recent years. Religious extremism betrays and distorts religious doctrines, deludes and deceives the public, particularly young people, with their fallacies, and changes some people into extremists and terrorists completely under its control.” The working definition of religious extremism is thus vague, murky, and open to the state’s interpretation. In effect, any religious activities that are not sanctioned by the government could be seen as being extremist and any mention of Xinjiang independence is decidedly viewed as extremist by the government.
