Campaign takes target at terrorism
Print Edition
CHINA’S far western region of Xinjiang will include cultural activities in a public campaign to spread its law-enforcement message against terrorism, the Xinjiang Daily said yesterday.
Hundreds of people have been killed in violence and terrorist attacks over the past few years in resource-rich Xinjiang, strategically located on the borders of central Asia.
Islamist militants and separatists have been blamed on the violence and terror.
The regional newspaper said the government would begin a new round of public education activities to spread knowledge about China’s new counter-terrorism law, passed last year, to help improve the region’s peace and stability.
These activities will “mobilize the people from all ethnicities to proactively and actively participate in the anti-terrorism struggle,” the paper said.
While law enforcers and lawyers would hold public talks, there will also be a “leading role for culture,” it added.
“Hold many cultural publicity activities that delight the masses, and let them be educated through entertainment,” the paper said, citing instructions from the regional government.
It did not give details on what the cultural activities will involve.
The government will also use mass and social media to “strengthen public opinion” work and “create a good atmosphere” for Xinjiang’s lasting social stability, the paper added.
