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" Image
This January 2016 document speaks of "continuing to do re-education classes well" in order to "continually deepen / consolidate the results of de-extremification". Image
In July 2016, Zhu Hailun himself inspected Turpan's "centralized re-education training" work. Image

The past two months I analyzed Clive Greenwood, the most senior member of the Liangma audit team that visited @VW's Xinjiang factory.

@clivegreenwood’s enigmatic background is characterized by twists, turns, contradictions, and obfuscation. 🧵
Image
Image
Mr. Greenwood did not respond to detailed questions about his professional background, his role in the audit, and his apparent lack of expertise in conducting social audits.

After he was contacted, he deleted his LinkedIn biography and removed "Liangma" from his profile.
Image
Image
Between 2004 and 2016, @clivegreenwood ran a British sports pub in Suzhou called The Drunken Chef, where he advertised his offerings with images of scantily-clad women.

A leaked full copy of the confidential audit of Volkswagen's Xinjiang factory shows that key statements made by @VW about the audit were false or misleading.

The audit suffers from severe methodological shortcomings & failed to protect interviewed Uyghur staff. Full report:🧵 Image
I contacted @VW and they said they did not want to respond to my set of detailed questions about the report. Liangma did not respond.

My full analysis with screenshots of the original report:
jamestown.org/program/an-ass…
Image
The audit was conducted by Liangma Law, a Chinese law firm with significant ties to the Chinese Communist Party.

Liangma possesses no discernible experience in conducting social audits and does not advertise related services. It is not accredited to conduct SA8000 audits. Image

On Saturday, China's Ministry of Civil Affairs casually announced new standardized Chinese names for 30 locations in "South Tibet" (藏南), together with an updated map (below).

"South Tibet" is India's state of Arunachal Pradesh.

Thread:🧵

Image
India promptly responded, affirming that the state is an "integral" part of India.

This was the PRC MCA's 4th announcement, resulting in a total of 62 Chinese place names. Links in next post.

Tomorrow, China's human rights record will be reviewed at the UN. At the last review in 2018, Beijing first admitted the existence of the camps.

China is fielding a 60-strong delegation under orders to handle problems in a "quiet, safe & swift manner".
thegenevaobserver.com/exclusive-chin…
Beijing is expending considerable resources to ensure that the UPR review won't go anywhere.

Read about its tactics in this excellent overview by @SophieDRich:

@SophieDRich Related op-ed by @benedictrogers, arguing that member states must be clear and specific in pointing out Beijing's egregious human rights violations. He suggests 10 points that could be raised.

BREAKING: U.S. sanctions first Chinese central government official over atrocities in Xinjiang:
Hu Lianhe, who defended the camps at the U.N. in 2018.

Hu is a deputy head of the central government's Xinjiang Leading Small Group and of the United Front.
home.treasury.gov/news/press-rel…
The justification for sanctioning him follows closely my analysis of Hu's role in my research article from 2021.

The Xinjiang LSG he co-leads was closely involved in the De-Extremification Regulation, which justified the re-education camps.
jamestown.org/program/eviden…
Image
Specifically the Central Xinjiang Work Coordination Small Group (中央新疆工作协调小组办公室) was closely involved in supervising the draft of the original Regulation, published in March 2017, and its revision, published in October 2018. Thus, he had close knowledge of the camps.

New Xinjiang Police Files evidence shows that Uyghurs were sent from re-education camps directly to vocational institutions that organized job fairs with Volkswagen & advertise degrees with Volkswagen as a typical work destination. One victim: the Uyghur Adiljan Hashim. /1 新疆轻工职业技术学院
Police records show that Adiljan Hashim was detained in October 2017, then placed into the Xinjiang Light Industry Technical College (新疆轻工职业技术学院) in January 2018. This "release" was highly controlled and based on pre-agreed conditions (担保释放人员).
Image
Image
The Xinjiang Light Industry Technical College offers majors in fields such as automobile manufacturing (汽车制造). The college lists examples of a cooperation with companies including FAW-Volkswagen Xinjiang on its website, and advertises Volkswagen as a graduate employer. Image
