Abstract

This academic study delves into the political trajectory of Arfiya Eri, a 34-year-old Uyghur-Japanese politician, examining her groundbreaking role in representing and advocating for the Uyghur community in Japan. By undertaking a comprehensive analysis of her background, election campaign, and subsequent actions in the Japanese Parliament, this study aims to explore the profound significance of her election. Furthermore, it delves into its potential implications for the Uyghur diaspora community and international efforts to address human rights abuses in Xinjiang. Additionally, the study investigates the prospective impact of Eri's election on fostering diversity and inclusivity in Japanese politics. The methodology for this research is qualitative and entails the analysis of primary and secondary sources to discern China's motives. Primary sources encompass official documents, while secondary sources include news reports, scholarly articles, and think tank reports. This analysis was conducted through a comprehensive literature review of these sources. The literature was then scrutinized to deduce China's motives for this expansion.
