Turpan, whose police Disney thanked at the end of Mulan, is the first documented case of re-education against Muslim minorities in Xinjiang. This Aug 2013 doc speaks of the "re-education" of "focus groups" to "eradicate the soil for the breeding and spread of religious extremism"

This January 2016 document speaks of "continuing to do re-education classes well" in order to "continually deepen / consolidate the results of de-extremification".

In July 2016, Zhu Hailun himself inspected Turpan's "centralized re-education training" work.
