  • Title: Two-faced people: 两面人 (Liǎngmiàn rén)
  • Creator: Xinjiang Documentation Project
  • Language:
  • Item Type: Sound File
  • Description: This is an audio recording of how to pronounce 两面人 (Liǎngmiàn rén). Originally a term used by Chinese Communist Party to rectify Party members who show disloyalty and are critical of the Party’s policies. Since 2017 in Xinjiang, the Party has waged a campaign to fight against “two-faced people” within the Party. The arrested and disappeared “two-faced people” are mostly Uyghur intellectuals, Party officials, and members, who allegedly “exhibited nationalist sentiment” and thus suspected of being an obstacle in the Party’s fight against terrorism, separatism, and religious extremism.

  • Creator: Xinjiang Documentation Project
  • Language:
  • Item Type: Sound File
  • 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.

  • Title: Xinjiang Aid: 对口援疆 (Duìkǒu yuán jiāng)

  • Language:
  • Item Type: Sound File
  • Description: This is an audio recording of how to pronounce 对口援疆 (Duìkǒu yuán jiāng). Duikou yuan jiang, or simply yuan jiang literally means “(Partner) Xinjiang Assistance/Aid,” is an official economic development policy in Xinjiang. The policy ostensibly brings economic development to Xinjiang through industrialization in manufacturing sectors, investment in agriculture, and vocational training. However, the Chinese state has made it clear that it is also to foster connections between Xinjiang and the rest of China and serve “counter-terror”and “national stability” goals. Since 2018, it has been documented that the many of the workers in these factories are involuntarily held there and have been transferred all across China to work in various sectors.
