Conclusion
- What plays no role in Western debates: In the fight against separatist terrorism, China has apparently also largely eliminated its presumed causes in Xinjiang:
- In addition to tough police measures, China has therefore been investing large sums of money in the parallel fight against poverty for years. This includes an educational offensive including the transfer of business know-how and the significant expansion of the infrastructure!
- One focus of the past 10 years has been the anti-terrorist operations conducted by all means under the legal framework in China – deterrent punishments are still an important element in achieving social harmony. Europe should definitely resume the human rights dialogue between Germany (EU)and China at the political level in the short term! Only the exchange brings positive development.
- Strong investment activities in infrastructure are visible to bring together the individual, very remote areas (Xinjiang's area covers an area of Germany, France, Spain and Portugal together at about 23 million euros). In Xinjiang we continued to invest Where we got there I saw a lot of construction activities.
- Also clearly visible is the systematic, successful poverty reduction and training programme (see point 4), which is also seen as an intelligent prevention of extremism and is intended to contribute to social and societal stabilisation. Nowadays, every traveler can see and evaluate these measures on site! In my view, this is a sign of good governance.
