Special Incentive Package for Those Who Marry Chinese

Recently, social media platforms like Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok, have been circulating videos claiming that ethnic differences do not prevent Uyghur girls from marrying Han Chinese. These propagandists argue that in today's world, ethnic, linguistic, and religious differences should not obstruct a relationship between two people. However, numerous research reports and studies exist indicating that the occupying Chinese state uses marriage as a tool of genocide in East Turkistan.
These propaganda videos use expressions such as "No one can stop the power of love," "Han Chinese men can easily marry Uyghur girls," "Marriages between Uyghur girls and Chinese serve national unity motivation," and "Language differences should not be an obstacle as long as Uyghur girls speaking Chinese respect each other's traditions." They even claim that when Han Chinese men marry Uyghur girls, their children will be born beautiful.
China affairs expert İlşat Hasan Gökbörü shared one of these propaganda videos on X and wrote: "Xi Jinping and Chinese colonialists are very anxious about marriages between Uyghurs and other ethnic groups. Especially, the issue of marriage with Chinese people emphasizes the brutality of Chinese colonialists. However, the circulation of such videos shows that Uyghurs continue to resist forced marriages with China, even under the threat of genocide. We will not give up, and Uyghurs will not give up!"
İlşat Hasan stated that China's propaganda is not as effective as its policy of forcing Uyghurs to marry Chinese and demonstrated the Uyghurs' resistance to this.
According to German Uyghur cultural researcher Rune Stenberg, China's forced assimilation and genocide policy have led to serious changes and difficulties in Uyghur marriage practices in recent years. China is currently implementing assimilation and cultural genocide—a method consistently used by colonial powers in various ways and through different means.
IT IS A MANIFESTATION OF SYSTEMATIC GENOCIDE!
One of the most apparent manifestations of the ongoing genocide and cultural destruction by the occupying Chinese state is the elimination of Uyghur marriages.
Abdulhakim İdris, President of the Uyghur Research Center, said that the propaganda encouraging Uyghur girls to marry Chinese is one of the ongoing Uyghur colonization and ethnic assimilation policies in the country.
Experts emphasize that China's propaganda to encourage Uyghur girls to marry Han Chinese men through internet celebrities should not be ignored. To this end, Uyghur human rights organizations and international institutions should particularly associate this issue with the oppression and abuse that Uyghur women face both inside and outside the camps, largely linked to neo-colonial and ethnic assimilation policies.
