The post-2017 trajectory of Chinese governance in Xinjiang has been described as agenocide or crime against humanity with increasing frequency among scholars,investigative journalists, and human rights advocacy groups, and declared a genocideby the United States. While this international discourse has not prompted radicalchange, reactions of PRC party leaders in diplomatic arenas and PRC state mediasuggest that close attention is paid to these judgements. PRC statements regardingXinjiang policy often cite recent judgements by other countries, in particular the UnitedStates. The link between international criticism of Xinjiang policies and the PRC thenchanging these policies has not yet been explored but has been anecdotallyrecognised by Xinjiang researchers.This study will analyse the nature of the dynamic relationship between internationalpressure and changes in Xinjiang policy, from Chen Quanguo's appointment asCommunist Party Secretary of Xinjiang in August 2016 onwards, through a closeanalysis of documents. This includes on the one hand, documents published or signedin diplomatic arenas by governments external to China, statements from individualgovernment spokespersons, and publications from human rights organisations; and,on the other hand, documents published by or leaked from the PRC, white papers andpolicy documents, state media reports on policy, and party engagement in diplomaticarenas. On the basis of legal anthropology and document ethnography, this researchwill elucidate the relationship between international discourse and Xinjiang policychanges. This will illustrate how diplomacy and human rights advocacy mayencourage positive change for the people of Xinjiang.

2017年后中国在新疆的治理轨迹被学者、调查记者和人权倡导组织越来越频繁地描述为种族灭绝或反人类罪，并被美国宣布为种族灭绝。虽然这一国际话语并没有引发根本性的变化，但中国共产党领导人在外交舞台上的反应和中国国家媒体暗示，这些判断受到了密切关注。中国对新疆政策的声明经常引用其他国家，特别是美国最近的判决。国际社会对新疆政策的批评与中国改变新疆政策之间的联系尚未被探讨，但新疆研究者已经认识到了这一点。本研究将通过对文件的仔细分析，分析自2016年8月陈全国被任命为新疆党委书记以来，国际压力与新疆政策变化之间动态关系的本质。这一方面包括中国以外的政府在外交领域发表或签署的文件、政府发言人个人的声明以及人权组织的出版物;另一方面包括中国发表或泄露的文件、白色文件和政策文件、国家媒体对政策的报道以及政党在外交领域的参与。本研究以法律的人类学和文献民族志为基础，阐释国际话语与新疆政策变迁的关系。这将说明外交和人权倡导如何鼓励新疆人民的积极变化。
