China’s crackdown on Uyghurs is increasingly being described as a campaign that does not stop at the borders of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. New research discussed by Bitter Winter, including work by researcher Adrian Zenz and Uyghur rights advocate Muetter Tohti, alleges that Beijing has developed a wider strategy to monitor, pressure and silence Uyghurs living outside China. The reported campaign stretches across Europe, North America, Türkiye, Central Asia, the Middle East and other regions where Uyghur communities have established themselves.
