to think of China as monolithic. But the government’s repression in Tibet and “re-education camps” in Xinjiang, in which perhaps 1m Uighurs have been incarcerated, are reminders that not everyone receives equal treatment. New research shows that discrimination against China’s ethnic minorities, who make up 8% of the country’s population, is pervasive, even in cosmopolitan megacities.
One common way to measure how much racial discrimination there is in a society is by conducting “résumé experiments”, in which researchers send off thousands of fake job applications and count the number of responses by ethnicity. A recent paper by Yue Hou, Chuyu Liu and Charles Crabtree, three political scientists, applies this method to employers in China to see how well job applicants of three of China’s ethnicities fare: the Han, who are the majority, and Uighurs and Huis.
The study shows that on average, Hui job-seekers had to send twice as many applications as Han applicants do to hear back, and Uighurs nearly four times as many. The gap was even greater for highly educated workers: Uighur candidates who were in the top 1% academically needed to send six times as many applications as equally qualified Han candidates. This difference was also similar in both smaller cities and in the provincial-level regions of Guangdong, Beijing and Shanghai.
Unemployed minorities in China hoping the state will help might well be disappointed. One study, also based on a randomised experiment, found that government officials were 33% less likely to respond to information requests about a cash-transfer programme for the poor if they were signed with a Uighur name.Sources: Hou, Liu and Crabtree, 2019; Quillian et al.
The Uyghur would be unhappy when they saw me eating pork meat. Because pork meat is dirty? That is not good for finding a job if you do not respect other people in China.
How can they find a job when they’re in concentration camps? Not much of a resume booster honestly — hey KingJames what are your thoughts on this?
fake news
China’s exam system give free extra points to minorities, so they actually have an advantage compared to the main Han people. This is already getting controversy inside china because the unfair advantage minorities get. This article can’t be further from the truth.
You are wrong, don’t spread rumors anymore, please go to know the real China
好多给外媒写中国评论的都是中国人自己。我就想问问这帮人，中国对少数民族差么。教育上，少数民族加分，少数民族地区分数线低，新疆人有不少通过国家项目到沿海发达城市上高中，最终走的单独的分数线上大学，这帮人高中读4年，成绩不咋地，还能上好大学。来东部经商的还有税支持。
lie
alllibertynews like all other minorities everywhere
Minorities all around the world do.
You are wrong
Racists happening in CCPchina are so rightful as china treats minorities as turd. Also, selfish Chinese people won’t fight for the rights of others. See reference of WuhanCoronavirus that they say “wuhan ! Hang in there!” but beat the wuhan people in their districts🤷♂️
China is indeed a racist. And jobs? I think you mean slave labour. FreeUyghurs China_is_terrorist
Come on, all minorities can get 10 bonus marks in the college entrance exam in China. Now you don’t say Han-Chinese have a tough time going to university, huh?🙄🖕️🖕️
CCP educates its ppl that “these minorities always do bad things, treat in trade, robbing, don’t trust them” If you can read Chinese, you can search related news as “新疆賣糖騙錢”, “西藏假佛” etc The official news media and CCP China regime defame Tibetans and Uyghurs.
I support the western countries do more investment in Tibet rather than to analyze
CCP is racist, and it force all people to follow it
Racism
I thought they were communist. 'equality' I guess not. China is just a nepotism dictatorship
At this time , all of us are difficult to find jobs. Because of quarantine, so many micro-enterprise are bankrupted or at the edge to go bankrupt. We all share a tough time.
They hate the Uighurs.
China is the only country who are taking correct measure to eradicate Islamic Fundamentals. World should follow the way China is handling.
No! I am shocked, SHOCKED 😲 !
China is truly an apartheid state with the Han on top and everyone else way at the bottom.
Now do blacks in America
Jobs are evil. Money is evil. Jesus was for neither of these things. Return society to local farming and care for them or all governments get sent to Hell. -Yours truly
This may be prelude of the genocide for dissenters (a.k.a non CCP worshippers). Their culture & language'll be defined as illegal by CCP. When their new generation adopt CCP culture, CCP'll isolate them from the society & label them as evil & finally send them to torture camps
sep_hk The race discrimination in CCPChina is serious, especially when the economy is not good. Hope that the CCP claimed supportive policies to minorities would be implemented, not just empty promises. WuhanCoronavirus WuhanLockDown Covid_19
The Chinese government CCP is racist by nature. Look at how they treat Uyghurs and Tibet ! China_is_terrorist
Funny to read the chinese propaganda spamalot responses to this ... Tibetans & Uighurs are being oppressed by the Chinese CCP dictatorship Harder to get work for a Tibetan in Tibet than an Asian person in Britain or Australia
China bashing propaganda and full of plain lies and distortions. Btw, most ethnographers/anthropologists classify the Hui as ethnically Han
It's always the case, China which is dominated by CCP, is racist, but condemning everyone points out its fault racists
Kidding me? Minorities have adding point at university entry, job allocation if go back home town. They enjoy more privilege than Han.
They are lucky enough to survive and get a job, many cant even step out of the Uyghurs concentration camp anymore China_is_terrorist
And it's outrageous when the discrimination is endorsed by the government, just look at concentration camps in Xinjiang
Whatabout the plight of Kashmiris, 200 days of curfew. West now cannot exploit Muslims on religious card as they used Muslims after 1979 in Afghanistan. Peaceful and prosperous Syria converted into graveyard by conspiracy of the West.
Hypocrisy when you hold us !!! Why to complain of China's discrimination ,no Freedom of Speech,her repression on Hong Kong WHEN AT SAME TIME WE INVEST OUR MONEY IN CHINA EVEN MORE ?
How about the black people and other minorities in western counties, do they live as good as white people? Mind your own business! Unprofessional report, what a shame.
So people are living a lot longer in Tibet now than they used thanks to China and communism but Tibet is a hard place to live with many inherent dangers.
China is bad to its minorities!!
