The Situation of the Uyghur People under China's "Social Governance"

本站:Mar 18, 2026原文:Mar 11, 2026

jìn jǐ nián近几年，zhōng guó中国guān fāng官方cháng yòng常用“shè huì zhì lǐ社会治理”lái来jiè shào介绍xīn jiāng新疆de的zhèng cè政策。

In recent years, Chinese officials often use "social governance" to describe policies in Xinjiang.

zhè ge这个cí词tīng qǐ lái听起来hěn很pǔ tōng普通，dàn但hěn duō很多rén人dān xīn担心，tā它huì会ràng让wài jiè外界hū shì忽视wéi wú ěr zú维吾尔族miàn duì面对de的yā lì压力。

This term sounds ordinary, but many worry it causes the outside world to overlook the pressures faced by the Uyghur people.

wéi wú ěr zú维吾尔族yǒu有zì jǐ自己de的yǔ yán语言、wén huà文化hé和zōng jiào宗教。

The Uyghur people have their own language, culture, and religion.

hěn很duō多guó jì国际zǔ zhī组织hé和yán jiū zhě研究者shuō说，2016 nián2016年yǐ hòu以后，xīn jiāng新疆chū xiàn出现le了dà guī mó大规模jū liú拘留、yán mì严密jiān kòng监控，yǐ jí以及duì对zōng jiào宗教hé和wén huà文化shēng huó生活de的xiàn zhì限制。

Many international organizations and researchers say that after 2016, Xinjiang saw large-scale detentions, strict surveillance, and restrictions on religious and cultural life.

zhōng guó中国zhèng fǔ政府zé则biǎo shì表示，zhè xiē这些zuò fǎ做法shì是wèi le为了fǎn kǒng反恐hé和wéi chí维持wěn dìng稳定。

The Chinese government states that these measures are for counter-terrorism and maintaining stability.

xiàn zài现在，guān fāng官方bào dào报道gèng更cháng常bǎ把xīn jiāng新疆xiě写chéng成hé píng和平、fā zhǎn发展、xìng fú幸福de的dì fāng地方，hái还cháng常tí dào提到“dǎng党de的lǐng dǎo领导”“jī céng基层zhì lǐ治理”“zhì yuàn志愿fú wù服务”děng等shuō fǎ说法。

Now, official reports more often describe Xinjiang as a place of peace, development, and happiness, frequently mentioning "Party leadership," "grassroots governance," and "volunteer services."

bù guò不过，wén zhāng文章hěn很shǎo少tán dào谈到wéi wú ěr zú维吾尔族de的yǔ yán语言quán lì权利、zōng jiào宗教zì yóu自由hé和wén huà chuán tǒng文化传统。

However, articles rarely discuss the Uyghurs' language rights, religious freedom, and cultural traditions.

hěn很duō多rén人rèn wéi认为，suǒ wèi所谓“shè huì zhì lǐ社会治理”bù不zhǐ shì只是guǎn lǐ管理shè huì社会，yě也ràng让zhèng fǔ政府gèng更shēn rù深入dì地jìn rù进入rì cháng日常shēng huó生活，bǐ rú比如jiān kòng监控shè qū社区、shōu jí收集xìn xī信息、ān pái安排gàn bù干部jìn进jiā tíng家庭。

Many believe that so-called "social governance" is not just about managing society but also allows the government to penetrate daily life more deeply, such as monitoring communities, collecting information, and arranging officials to enter households.

hái yǒu还有rén人dān xīn担心，zhè这huì会ràng让wéi wú ěr zú维吾尔族yuè lái yuè越来越nán难bǎo chí保持zì jǐ自己de的shēng huó fāng shì生活方式hé和wén huà文化tè diǎn特点。

Some worry this will make it increasingly difficult for the Uyghur people to maintain their lifestyle and cultural characteristics.
