The U.S. and other Western governments have weaponized the issue of Uyghur oppression to add fuel to their growing inter-imperial rivalry with China.

As part of this Han settler colonialism, Xi’s regime has introduced measures to lower Uyghur birthrates in order to decrease their percentage of the region’s population. What has it done and what impact has this had on Uyghur women?Much of the reduction in birthrate appears to be a result of family separation.

This imperialist form of feminism is fundamentally antithetical to feminist liberation. Instead, it results in families that have been torn apart, women who have been forcibly separated from children even as they are, in some cases of internment, still breastfeeding. Ultimately, it results in in a radical diminishment of Uyghur social reproduction. The women who are a primary force in building a future for Uyghur society have suffered tremendously because of these policies.

While continuing to hold Indigenous citizens of the Uyghur region in internment camps without trial, China has placed millions of Uyghurs into what the government calls “surplus labor” and “labor transfer” programs. China claims that workers join voluntarily and that these state-sponsored programs, which exist in accordance with Chinese law, aim to alleviate poverty.

State-sponsored labor programs exist in other parts of China, but in the Uyghur region, they are part of an anti-terrorism strategy that employs labor as one of its tools.
