Biopolitics without Borders: China’s Racially Profiled Transnational Repression of the Uyghur People
View through CrossRef
This Chapter first explores the historical roots of the PRC’s structural racism towards Uyghurs and its identification of this people as a biopolitical threat to Chinese society using Michel Foucault’s concept of biopolitics. It then presents an historical examination of PRC transnational repression of Uyghurs since 1990, culminating in the racially imbued and expansive nature of the repression of Uyghur exiles since 2017. The Chapter concludes with a discussion of the implications of China’s present racially profiled transnational repression of Uyghurs for the future of transnational repression and for the possibilities of transnational genocidal actions
