On no subject has China been more scolded than Xinjiang, where it has interned some 1m Uyghurs, a mostly Muslim ethnic group, for such things as being too pious or talking to relatives overseas. Media in democracies uniformly portray this as a grotesque abuse of human rights. The Communist Party is pushing back, in an effort to break what it calls the “discourse hegemony” of the West.

Since then authorities have made Uyghurs in China make videos begging their dissident relatives overseas to shut up; announced a lawsuit against Adrian Zenz, a prominent researcher into the abuse of Uyghurs; and harassed aThe campaigns are getting personal. In April Xinhua, the official news agency, called Mr Zenz a “puppet of anti-China forces”. An entity called the Xinjiang Development Research Centre issued a report titled “Slanderer Adrian Zenz’s Xinjiang-related Fallacies Versus the Truth”.

Evidence the US is behind the terrorism in Xinjiang.

The US wanted to use Al Qaeda to attack China in Xinjiang but got 9/11 instead. Hard to teach old dogs new tricks.

It's easy to have discourse hegemony when the only people who aren't considered under the influence of 'western' ideology are citizens or subjects of a tightly controlled totalitarian state.
