-The China Fantasy by James Mann, 2007; You Will Be Assimilated by Ward, 2020 …………………………………………………....................................... 9-8-20 During one phone call a Uyghur cadre from Kashgar city’s Doletbagh village said that the “Yanbulaq School”—one of the largest internment camps in the city—remains active and that he had recently traveled there and met with detainees from his jurisdiction via a video screen inside of the facility. “Yes, I’ve been to meet with them—they’re in Yanbulaq,” he said, speaking on condition of anonymity. “The building [we went to] was three stories. We entered through a gate … There were a lot of buildings, 10 or 20.” The cadre said he was not allowed into the detention area, so he was unable to watch what detainees do there, although he said that residents from his village “were wearing uniforms” and are made to learn Mandarin Chinese. He estimated that the camp held thousands of “students,” although he was unable to provide specific figures. The cadre also confirmed that a camp located near the Kashgar airport, referred to colloquially as the “Airport Camp,” also remains in operation. He said that while he hasn’t been to the airport facility, it is smaller than the Yanbulaq School, adding that one resident of Doletbagh had been taken there after spending around five months at Yanbulaq. Earlier investigations by RFA have found that the Kashgar airport camp grounds include a factory and workshops where internees are forced to work in addition to studying in a compulsory Mandarin program. RFA also spoke with a Uyghur cadre from a village in neighboring Makit county’s Tumental township who said that her township’s camp is also still in operation, housing “as many as 2,000” detainees “receiving education” in “up to 20” buildings of between “five and six stories” each. “It’s still there … We call it the Tumental Center,” she said. “It’s in the same place as the township government … they share a wall.” The cadre, who also declined to be named, citing fear of reprisal, said there are no workshops or factories at the site, which was originally constructed in 2015 and later expanded. She said at least one person from her township that she had investigated had been held at the Tumental Center, but “people from outside Tumental have been brought there.” “I also stayed there [for work] for around two months at one point,” the cadre added. When asked whether the continued operation of the Tumental Center indicates that internment camps are still being used by authorities in the XUAR, the cadre said “Yes.” https://www.rfa.org/english/news/uyghur/camps-09082020123500.html ……………………………… 9-16-20 ”The scale of the private economy has continued to expand, and risks and challenges have increased significantly," the CCP general office said in an "opinion" published on official websites. The directive called on the party's United Front machinery -- which conducts outreach and influence operations outside party ranks both domestically and internationally -- to take on the private sector, and bring it more closely under party control and influence. The political thought of general secretary Xi Jinping should be the guiding light for the private sector in the "new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics," the directive said. "United Front work in the private sector ... will lead to the growing enhancement of the CCP's leadership over the private sector," the directive said, adding that private entrepreneurs should "unite more closely around the party.”… Historian Feng Zhi said the directive paves the way for a return to a planned economy controlled by the CCP. "[They also want to] stop private entrepreneurs from turning into dissidents and acting as a focus for anti-CCP forces," he said. https://www.rfa.org/english/news/china/control-09162020113349.html
