Xinjiang: A Region of Struggle or Curse?

Dikdik Dahlan Lukman, Asep Ahmad Hidayat, Abdillah Abdillah

Abstract


Uyghurs can currently be said to be seen as a second-class population by the government of the People's Republic of China (PRC). The hometown and ancestral village of the Uyghur ethnic group is Xinjiang. Meanwhile, the government actually encourages Han ethnic groups to migrate to and reproduce in Xinjiang. Get rid of it in a subtle way. On the other hand, the Uyghur ethnic group finds it difficult to carry out Islamic religious law, while in other places, this religion is allowed to develop. Thus, it seems that the background to the Uyghur conflict with the government so far is the Xinjiang region factor. The research method used is a qualitative method, namely a case study. Xinjiang is currently a controversial and very complex region. Views and interpretations can vary widely, depending on political perspectives, culture, and the sources of information used.
