Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: In this paper I document and provide an explanation for changing levels of government attention to minority populations in the People's Republic of China. Employing a content analysis of People's Daily (Renmin Ribao) newspapers published between 1949 and 1989, I demonstrate that a relationship exists between heightened interethnic tensions and greater levels of official media attention to minority collectivities. This proves true even though the articles themselves make no mention of acts of resistance by minority groups. I further find that the state's favored propaganda tactic when confronting restive ethnic minorities is to emphasize the economic and social benefits enjoyed by these groups under the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). I discuss the implications of these findings for understanding the relationship between authoritarian governments and their minority populations. Paper available by request.
