Report: China is attempting to establish an image through tourism control

• China is imposing strict restrictions on Uyghurs traveling abroad
• Aims to control Uyghur diaspora and create an image of "normalcy" in East Turkistan
• Requires Uyghurs to:
  1. Get detailed permission to travel
  2. Provide extensive personal information
  3. Return within specified time
  4. Regular reporting to officials
  5. Limit family travel

CONTROL MECHANISMS:

• Confiscation of passports since 2016
• Monitoring of overseas communications
• Punishment of family members for non-compliance
• Restricting international contacts

INTERNATIONAL CONTEXT:

• UN Human Rights Commissioner previously noted potential "crimes against humanity."
• Since 2017, over 1 million Uyghurs have been detained in camps
• China organizing controlled tourism to East Turkistan to create misleading narrative

The report highlights systematic suppression of Uyghur freedom of movement and international communication.
