The Chinese Counter-Terrorism Law: Its Impacts on Chinese Ethnic Minorities: Tibetans and Uyghurs

Bachelor thesis | South and Southeast Asian Studies (BA)

This thesis explores the Chinese Counter-Terrorism Law, enacted on the 1st of January 2016. It looks at the impacts of this law on Chinese ethnic minorities, with the focus on Tibetans and Uyghurs. The thesis compares Chinese counter-terrorism strategies with those of the United States and the United Kingdom, to conclude that the global war on terror has had negative impacts on the protection of human rights. More and more states are choosing national security over the protection of human rights, leading to more human rights violations globally. China is no exception to this, and Tibetans and Uyghurs suffer many consequences because of the new Chinese Counter-Terrorism Law. These consequences are explained in this thesis.
