Abstract Racism, as a truly global phenomenon, requires a comparative approach that can account for its diverse forms and their commonalities.

First, it discusses surveillance and racialisation practices in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in China, based on an examination of leaked police files from the city of Urumqi.
