''... China’s ethnic minorities are regarded by the Chinese government as internal Orient, the Chinese government, which lays great store by objective science, has not thereby become deorientialized or been regarded as the West within China; rather it has been further established as a domineering Orient ... this orientation, which ascribes China’s politics of ethnic minority recognition to Oriental totalitarianism ... has instead given rise to a slew of Western academic fancies, such as the depoliticization of ethnic minorities, multiethnic autonomy, and the romantic appeal to individual civil rights.''
