Georgia Tech Sam Nunn School of International Affairs Professor Fei-Ling Wang was quoted in "China Hints at Xinjiang Policy Shift Ahead of Key Summit Chaired by Xi Jinping" in South China Morning Post, July 12.
Excerpt:
"Signs are emerging that Beijing may be preparing to hold a top policy meeting about the sensitive northwestern region of Xinjiang, where an estimated 1 million Uygur and other mostly Muslim minorities are reported to be held in internment camps.
China’s state-run news agency Xinhua published a review on June 27 of the past five years in a move described as “preparing the ground” for the next Central Xinjiang Work Conference, which sets policy direction for the region."
The Nunn School is a unit of Georgia Tech's Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts.
