Education and training in Xinjiang has succeeded to an enormous extent in eliminating the soil and conditions in which terrorism and religious extremism breed, rehabilitating those who have committed unlawful or criminal acts, and protected basic civil rights. The number of people participating in education and training at the centers is not fixed; some are coming in while others are going out. However, as education and training has played its role, most trainees have reached the required standards and graduated.文章源自英文巴士-https://www.en84.com/7419.html

——学员的综合素质得到提升。学员法治意识得到提高，普遍认识到作为国家公民必须遵守国家宪法和法律。学员使用国家通用语言文字的能力得到提高。许多学员以前不具备使用国家通用语言文字的能力，结业时初步实现能听懂、能交流、能阅读、能书写。学员通过学习职业技能知识，大多数掌握了一定的实用技能，就业能力得到提高。已有多批次学员达到标准从教培中心结业，有的在工厂或其他企业就业，有的自主创业，还有一些为了不断提升自我，到中职、高职等院校继续深造学习。文章源自英文巴士-https://www.en84.com/7419.html

– The comprehensive quality of trainees has improved. Their understanding of the rule of law has risen, and there is a general recognition that citizens must abide by the Constitution and other laws of the country. The ability of trainees to speak and write in standard Chinese has improved. Many trainees begin the course unable to use the national common language, but by the time they have completed their studies at the centers they are able to understand, communicate, read and write in Chinese. Through vocational skills training and study, most of them have mastered practical skills and their employability has increased. Many of the trainees who have completed their studies in education and training centers have gone on to find employment in factories or enterprises. Some have started their own businesses, and some have continued their studies in secondary and higher vocational schools in order to improve their prospects further.文章源自英文巴士-https://www.en84.com/7419.html

——宗教极端主义有效祛除。通过学习，绝大多数学员都能够认清恐怖主义、宗教极端主义的本质和危害，摆脱了恐怖主义、宗教极端主义的精神控制。学员的国家意识、公民意识、法治意识明显增强，辨别是非能力明显提高。大多数学员能够认清宗教极端主义不是宗教，抵御宗教极端主义渗透的能力明显增强。
– Religious extremism has been effectively eliminated. Through education, the vast majority of trainees can recognize the nature and harm of terrorism and religious extremism, and free themselves from the control these phenomena exert over their minds. The trainees have a much better awareness of the interests of the nation, their civic duties, and the rule of law, and their ability to distinguish between right and wrong has significantly improved. Most of the trainees are able to recognize that religious extremism is a perversion of their religion, and their ability to resist its penetration has notably increased.
——社会风气明显好转。在学员的学习生活过程中，教培中心注重引导学员转变观念，提倡各民族相互尊重风俗习惯，在衣食住行、婚丧嫁娶、礼仪风俗等方面顺应现代社会发展要求，并大力传播现代文明理念，使学员摆脱陈规陋习束缚。在教培工作的积极影响下，新疆社会风气明显好转，正气上升，邪气下降，宗教极端主义的传播受到自觉抵制，追求现代科学技术知识、文明生活风尚的社会氛围日渐浓厚。
– The social atmosphere has taken a marked turn for the better. In the course of the trainees’ studies and daily life, the education and training centers carefully guide them to change their mentalities, and promote mutual respect for folkways among all ethnic groups while encouraging adaptation to the requirements of modern society in terms of food, clothing, housing, transport, weddings, funerals, etiquette and customs. The centers also vigorously spread the concept of modern civilization, so that trainees can divest themselves of outdated conventions and customs. Thanks to these efforts, Xinjiang has witnessed a marked change in the social environment in recent years. A healthy atmosphere is spreading, while evil influences are declining. Citizens now consciously resist religious extremism, and the trend in society is now to pursue knowledge of modern science and technology and a cultured way of life.
——社会大局持续稳定。开展教培工作以来，新疆已连续近3年未发生暴力恐怖案（事）件，宗教极端主义渗透得到有效遏制，社会治安状况明显好转，民族平等团结，宗教和睦和顺，人民生活安定祥和。据统计，2018年，新疆旅游业大幅增长，共接待境内外游客超过1.5亿人次，同比增长40%；其中境外游客262.6万人次，同比增长11.83%。2019年1月至6月，新疆接待境内外游客7589.35万人次，同比增长46%。
– The overall situation in society continues to be stable. No terrorist incidents have occurred in Xinjiang for nearly three years since the education and training started. As the infiltration of religious extremism has been curbed, public order and security have returned to society, where equality, solidarity and harmony among ethnic groups and religions have prevailed, and people are enjoying peace and stability. In 2018, tourism in Xinjiang grew rapidly: Tourists from inside and outside China totaled over 150 million, a year-on-year increase of 40 percent; foreign tourists numbered 2.6 million, a year-on-year increase of nearly 12 percent. From January to June 2019, nearly 76 million tourists visited Xinjiang, an increase of 46 percent over the same period in 2018.
——各族人民普遍支持。通过教育培训，学员们认清了恐怖主义、宗教极端主义的本质和危害，感谢教育培训使他们“在走向恐怖犯罪的路上回了头”“解除了宗教极端主义的精神枷锁”。教培工作有力维护了新疆社会安定和谐，最大限度地保障了各族人民的基本人权，得到了各族人民的拥护。许多人切身感受到，新疆今天的大好局面来之不易，没有教培工作就没有今天的安稳日子。
– Education and training has won general support. The trainees gain a thorough understanding of the true nature and perils of terrorism and religious extremism. They thank education and training for turning them back from the way to terrorist crimes and helping them break free from the spiritual shackles of religious extremism. Education and training has effectively safeguarded social stability and harmony in Xinjiang, protected the basic human rights of citizens to the maximum extent, and won the support of all ethnic groups. The personal feeling of many people is that the positive developments in Xinjiang have been hard won, and without education and training there would have been little peace and tranquility today.
——国际社会积极评价。新疆的教培工作引起了国际社会的普遍关注。2018年12月底以来，一些国家驻华使节、联合国官员、有关国家常驻日内瓦主要外交官，以及一些国家政党、社会组织、媒体记者和宗教团体等40多批（团、组）、近千人到新疆参观访问。百闻不如一见。通过实地参观访问，许多人认清了真相，理解了新疆开展教培工作的紧迫性、必要性、合法性、合理性。他们纷纷表示，受宗教极端主义影响，新疆的暴恐活动惨无人道、令人愤慨，教培工作挽救了那些受恐怖主义、宗教极端主义控制的学员，新疆的教培工作为国际社会反恐、去极端化斗争作出了重要贡献，积累了宝贵经验，很有借鉴价值。伊斯兰合作组织外长理事会第46次会议通过决议，赞赏中国为关怀本国穆斯林所作的努力。
– The international community has made positive comments on Xinjiang’s efforts. Education and training has aroused the general interest of the international community. Since the end of December 2018, nearly 1,000 people have visited Xinjiang. They include foreign diplomatic envoys to China, UN officials, Geneva-based senior diplomats of various countries, as well as more than 40 groups (or delegations) of people from political parties, civil society organizations, news media, and religious organizations of various countries. Through field trips, many have realized the truth and understood the urgency, necessity, legitimacy and rationality of carrying out education and training. They have all recognized that violent and inhumane terrorist activities in the autonomous region, provoked by religious extremism, were causing outrage. Through rehabilitating trainees poisoned by terrorist and religious extremist ideas, education and training has made an important contribution to international efforts to fight terrorism and extremism, and generated valuable experience that is of great reference value. At its 46th session, the Council of Foreign Ministers of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation adopted a resolution commending China’s efforts in providing care to its Muslim citizens.
一些实地采访过新疆教培中心的外国媒体记者，纷纷发表报道文章，客观介绍教培中心的真实情况，对新疆开展教培工作表示理解、肯定和支持。
A number of foreign journalists who have conducted interviews in the education and training centers have published stories that reflect the true role of the centers and express their understanding, approval and support for the education and training programs in Xinjiang.
2019年5月15日，沙特《利雅得报》记者在题为《新疆——中国“一带一路”的门户》的报道中说：“中国尊重少数民族以及他们的宗教信仰。”“为尊重和照顾少数民族的饮食、衣着、节日、婚嫁和葬礼等习俗，中国各级政府和有关部门制定了一系列政策和法规。”“在新疆，各民族都有保持或改变自己生活习俗的权利，这是中国的一贯政策。”
“China respects ethnic minorities and their religious beliefs,” says a report in Saudi Arabia’s newspaper Al Riyadh entitled “Xinjiang: Gateway to China on the Belt and Road” published on May 15, 2019. “The Chinese government at all levels and its departments have formulated a series of policies and regulations to respect and accommodate the dietary habits, clothing, festivals, weddings and funerals of ethnic minorities.” “In Xinjiang, all ethnic groups have the right to maintain or change their own lifestyles or customs, which is China’s consistent policy.”
2019年5月15日，埃及《金字塔晚报》记者在题为《中国利用培训和再教育方式应对极端主义》的报道中说：“世界各国根据实际情况，采取了多种预防性措施应对恐怖主义和极端思想，其中中国政府在新疆维吾尔自治区采取的应对极端思想的措施可以提供有益经验。”“新疆设立教培中心是为培训那些受恐怖组织极端思想影响的年轻人，为他们提供机会重新融入社会并走上正轨，远离恐怖主义的魔爪。”土耳其DHA表示，教培中心为学员提供人性化管理和服务，中心没有虐待行为和限制人身自由，学员学习、生活都很愉快。访问期间的所见所感同美西方宣传的负面内容大相径庭，深感其双重标准之野蛮无理。
On May 15, 2019, Egypt’s Al-Ahram Al-Masa’y newspaper published an article entitled “China Uses Training and Re-education to Deal with Extremism”. It states: “Countries around the world adopt a variety of preventive measures against terrorism and extremism in accordance with their actual conditions. The measures taken against extremist ideas by the Chinese government in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region can provide useful experience…Xinjiang has set up education and training centers to train young people influenced by the extremist ideas of terrorist organizations, to provide them with the opportunity to reintegrate into society, get back on track, and steer clear of the claws of terrorism.”
A report from Turkey’s DHA says: “The centers provide human-based management and services for the trainees. There is no maltreatment or restrictions on personal freedom. The trainees are happy to study and live there. What I saw and felt during the visit was very different from the negative propaganda of the US and other Western countries, and I felt their double standards simply rude and unreasonable.”
美国《国际聚焦》杂志2019年5月号刊发《中国新疆维吾尔自治区之旅》一文，指出，喀什职业技能教育培训中心秩序井然，许多年轻人以前是极端思想的受害者，如今在学习职业技能，有人在教他们更好的谋生手段。他们吃得好，生活条件也好。记者同其中几个人交流，他们受到良好对待，看上去很快乐。有人或许认为这些年轻人受到胁迫，但快乐是装不出来的。
US magazine International Focus published Val Thompson’s “A Journey to the Autonomous Region of Xinjiang, China” in its May 2019 issue: “A visit to Kashgar Vocation Skills Educational and Training Center, which I found well organized with young people, was mostly of the UYGHUR ethnicity. The young people, men and women, were, or could be, victims of extremist teaching, now were learning a vocational skill and being taught a better way of life... They were well fed, and they had good sleeping conditions...I interviewed several of them; they seemed very happy; and they were treated well by their supervisors. For those who want to believe these young people may have been coerced, I say you can’t fake happiness; and happiness is exactly what I saw.”
2019年7月5日，新加坡《海峡时报》刊登《新疆职业技能教育培训中心里的故事》一文，生动介绍了新疆教培中心的真实情况以及多位学员培训前后的转变。文章写道，毋庸置疑，从去极端化和国家治理的角度，新疆教培中心的做法是富有成效的。记者在与学员的接触中了解到，许多学员都有过被从智能手机下载的极端视频和宣传书籍激进化的经历。培训中心的气氛就像是一所寄宿学校。记者看到政府为贫困民众建造房屋，当地集市繁荣，民众可以获得各种医疗服务，尽享民族歌舞表演。中国政府不仅没有压制当地文化，而且还在独生子女政策等方面给予新疆维吾尔族和其他少数民族许多特殊政策。
On July 5, 2019, The Straits Times of Singapore published an article entitled “Inside Those Uighur Re-education Camps” written by Ravi Velloor, associate editor of the newspaper. The article gives a vivid account of the true situation in Xinjiang’s education and training centers and explains how a number of trainees have changed. “From an administrative point of view, the measures have been effective without question,” says the article. Velloor learned from his contact with the trainees that many of them “had undergone a measure of self-radicalisation after downloading extremist videos from the Internet on their smartphones”. Velloor felt that the training centers “had the air of a boarding school”. “In the housing blocks being built for the poorer sections, in the hospitals where people can access medical services, including moxibustion, in the thriving bazaars where the locals ply their trade, and in the cities of Xinjiang where people enjoy ethnic song and dance performances”, he was impressed that the Chinese government was not suppressing local culture and that the Uygurs and many other minorities were never subject to the one-child policy.
