China adopted American War on Terror language to justify persecuting Uyghur Muslims

Evidence

The War on Terror’s language of “civilization against savagery” and “Islamic terrorism” provided Jiang and his more oppressive successors license to decimate the Uyghur people. In lockstep fashion, Chinese governmental leaders adopted the War on Terror parlance to impose their domestic crusade against Uyghur Muslims and to summarily brand an indigenous people seeking to realize their dreams of a free and sovereign East Turkistan as “terrorists.” — Khaled A.

• XREF: This is the cross-national transmission mechanism the reader wants — China copying US War on Terror framing. Directly parallels the US domestic crusade in earlier chapters.
• SEED: The ‘adopted parlance’ move — how a superpower’s rhetorical frame becomes exportable hardware other states weaponize — could anchor an essay on linguistic diffusion of state violence.
