Book Preview:

#1 The People’s Government in Urumqi, China, has a Population Data Collection Form that requires people to report information about their religious faith and travel habits. It also has a list of countries that are problematic for the regime.

#2 In China, the Party was preoccupied with the separatist threat. In Urumqi, the police would ask people about their religious faith and travel habits. Tahir’s eyes drifted to the right-hand margin, where he saw a series of checkboxes reserved for the police to fill out: Uyghur, unemployed, passport holder, prays daily, etc.

#3 Xinjiang is a far-western region of China that shares borders with eight countries. It has been a part of China since ancient times, but no state based in China has controlled the territory for a thousand years. The Communist Party under Mao went there to promote economic development and dilute the influence of minority populations.

#4 China’s government has a list of countries that are problematic for them, and one of these is Uyghurstan.
