Connolly Conversations — The Truth About Xinjiang: What Is Behind Allegations Of Uyghur Forced Labour And Genocide

A dominant theme in discourse about China is Xinjiang and allegations of Uyghur genocide and forced labour. This Connolly Conversation provides a rare opportunity to probe these allegations with expert visitors from China.

Professor Yan Hairong of Tsinghua University in Beijing and Professor Barry Sautman of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology have published on ethnic and regional policies in China and done extensive field work in Xinjiang and Tibet to investigate realities on the ground.
