English: This was the entrance to Ihlas Supermarket in the city center of Kashgar (Xinjiang, China). At time of capture (August 2018), there were various banners and posters on the wall bearing political slogans/propaganda written in both Chinese and Uyghur.

1. 1. The red banner at the top encourages people to speak Mandarin and says, "Communication starts with Mandarin (Putonghua)." What is particularly interesting is that the Chinese term "Putonghua" has been translated into Uyghur literally as "the common language" (ortaq til).

1. 2. The red banner in the middle is about fire safety. (Baidu Translate: "Everyone is safe and happy with fire prevention")

1. 3. Below the red banners is a poster depicting China's 56 ethnic groups and bears a slogan saying, "Adhere to the unity of all ethnic groups, strive for common prosperity and development" [rough translation]

1. 4. To the bottom-left of the ethnic unity poster, there is a whiteboard with a list of Chinese vocabulary items titled "Study the national language (Guoyu 国语) - one sentence every day"
