NEW INVESTIGATION: Yale Scholars, Xinjiang, and China’s Influence Operations A new Strategy Risks investigation examines how two longtime Yale University scholars participated in a Chinese government-linked forum in Xinjiang, and how Chinese state media amplified their subsequent remarks. The forum featured prominent involvement from a senior Chinese Communist Party United Front official and included a tour with stops tied to the U.S.-sanctioned Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps. Our findings raise important questions about how respected Western academics can lend credibility to Beijing’s narratives about a region marked by documented human rights abuses.
