We found the original video on the Chinese social network Douyin. the equivalent of TikTok in China. It is important to know that in China. foreign social networks like Instagram or Facebook are blocked. and have been replaced by other Chinese social networks: WeChat. Weibo . etc. These networks are difficult to access from abroad: often. to register. you need a telephone number and a Chinese identity card... Fortunately. some of this content is accessible without having an account.
By using the keywords from the first video offering free houses. we found qatar telegram hundreds of similar videos on Douyin. This was an opportunity to learn more about these influencers. Manon Bachelot: Chinese social networks are very different from our Western platforms because they are extremely controlled and censored by the Chinese regime and in particular on the subject of the Uighurs which is a very sensitive subject in China. When you type the word "Uighur" on Douyin for example, you only get folklore videos.
This really demonstrates the Chinese government's desire to censor the speech of the Uighurs. The government does everything it can to ensure that we do not know what is happening in Xinjiang. We were directly confronted with this during our research. Some videos could disappear in a few hours. How do these videos represent a change in strategy on the part of the Chinese government? Manon Bachelot: These influencer videos encouraging the colonization of Xinjiang began to emerge about two years ago.
