On the Problem of Xinjiang’s Intent to Exhibit Evidence of the Soviet Revisionists’ Subversive Activities

Assistant Minister Gong [Peng]:

This year is the 15th anniversary of the founding of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. The Autonomous Region will hold a public exhibition, its contents include the subversive activities of the Soviet revisionists in Xinjiang. The Xinjiang General Office is dispatching persons to Beijing to borrow original evidence of the subversive activities of the Soviet revisionists in Xinjiang held by the First Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security and intends to exhibit [these documents].

Ministry of Public Security Vice Minister Liang Yun has the opinion [that] the original evidence should not be lent out and it needs to be considered whether or not this content should be displayed.

We have two views:

1.  Exhibiting such items will be good for exposing the subversive activities of the Soviet revisionists in Xinjiang and carrying out anti-revisionist education and patriotic education among all ethnic groups in Xinjiang. Therefore, [we] can agree to these types of items being on display at Xinjiang's exhibit. What [specific] items should be displayed or not displayed can be discussed further;

2. To prevent leaks, not displaying these types of items should also be considered. It is recommended that the Ministry of Public Security request for instructions from the Foreign Affairs Office of the State Council. Please give instructions on whether or not this is appropriate.
