James Millward on the evolution of PRC ethnicity policy. After coming to power in China and acquiring the former Qing imperial territories of Tibet and Xinjiang, the Chinese Communist Party recognized the diversity of the former Qing empire with pluralist governmental structures and multi-culturalist propaganda. The PRC modeled its diversity regime in part on the nationality system of the Soviet Union, and like that of the USSR hoped to project anti-colonialism abroad while integrating a former empire at home. Though the promise of “autonomy” was never in good faith, the PRC minzu system by the early 20005 was normalized and enjoyed significant support among non-Han elites. Since 2014 however, the Party under Xi Jinping's leadership has pivoted dramatically. The current PRC version of the global nativist, chauvinist wave, exemplified by the unprecedented repression in Xinjiang, reverts to theories of homogenous nation and assimilative practices akin to those of 19th and early zoth century Europe and America.
