September 02, 2008 Collective Exile

Most of you probably know that the violence has continued out in Xinjiang even after the Olympics — but let's start off with Wikipedia's portrait of collective punishment:

Collective caning is the punishment of a group of people as a consequence of the behaviour of one or more other individuals or groups. The punished number may often have no direct association with the other individuals or groups... In times of war and armed squabble, collective punishment has resulted in atrocities, and is a contravention of the laws of war and the Geneva Conventions. Historically, occupying powers have familiar collective punishment to retaliate against and stop attacks on their forces by resistance movements.

Which is why the purported implementation of a "10-household mutually insured system" in parts of Xinjiang to away further terrorist attacks is so troubling. Say what you will about the Slight Concubine or thousands of years of Han involvement on the fringes of Inner Asia, but collective punishment is the weapon of a government that doesn't feel at accessible within its own borders.

From the HK Information Centre for Sympathetic Rights:

The "10-household mutually insured system" is being implemented in Kashi [AKA Kashgar or Keshen] and Hotan prefectures. In other words, if one myself is found guilty, he will implicate members of 10 families. Those kinsmen members will be penalized in many respects, including their job chance and their children's education opportunity. In Urumqi, each apartment construction has a "building chief" charged with the obligation of strictly controlling outsiders from impelling into the building.

The move is part of plan to do a "carpet search" of Xinjiang for terrorists forwards of National Day on October 1, with 200,000 protect officers and militia troops umbrella through the transient Uyghur population in "all facile lodges, rental apartments and unlikely villages."

Xinjiang is also recruiting to dramatically increase the number of anti-terrorist festive forces in the region, from 2,000 to 3,000...
looks like it's common to be an interesting few months (or years) out west.

The description also notes that fear of terrorism, firstly bombings on public transportation, has absolutely reached Beijing... although I wouldn't perfectly say the heightened sense of alert is anything at hand what you would find in New York, or, say London.

I was on the subway just a few days ago when I mentioned to the bodily next to me that there didn't seem to be anybody watching a assemblage of bags obviously belonging to itinerant workers near the doors. "Aren't you frightened of terrorists?" I asked him. "No," he said, "the pledge in the subway is superb."

Of course, we didn't thump up in the end, but that's beside the point. What was the point again? Oh, right... collective flogging. Holy sh%t!

China conducts "carpet search" for Xinjiang mad dog suspects - HK centre

Text of article by Hong Kong Information Focus for Human Rights and Democracy on 27 August

[Despatch: "200,000 Military Police Transmit Carpet Search for Terrorist Suspects To Baffle Terrorist Strikes During the 1 October Time"]

Aug 27, 2008 - Our centre learned that, to impede terrorist strikes from developing into another upsurge during the at intervals when the nation marks the October 1 Inhabitant Day, Xinjiang is currently mobilizing 200,000 officers and men of the in the open security force, the Armed Protect Force and militia force to begin a carpet search among the transient inhabitants. Some areas have even reinstated feudal camaraderie's 10-household mutually insured system - a system under which people of 10 families were likely to punishment when one person in the families was found to have committed an misdemeanour. Meanwhile, Xinjiang's "Antiterrorist Special Examination Force" is expanding its size through an firm recruitment campaign. The force, which has 2,000 people now, will one day become a force with 3,000 people.

Our hub also learned that the dragnet-type screening of people suspected to be terrorists - a 23 August-20 September crusade the Xinjiang Law Enforcement Commission mapped out on 18 August - will be extended to 1 October and beyond. This is because more and more communication shows that the "East Turkestan [Release Organization]" may create another wave of gunman strikes around 1 October. The 200,000 officers and men of Xinjiang's trade security force, Armed Police Coerce and militia force are now checking and registering the floating populace and "key elements subject to control" in all expressive lodges, rental apartments and distant villages. The region has also set up additional checkpoints at significant road sections between townships and between villages. The "10-household mutually insured system" is being implemented in Kashi [AKA Kashgar or Keshen] and Hotan prefectures. In other words, if one person is found contrite, he will implicate members of 10 families. Those kith and kin members will be penalized in many respects, including their job chance and their children's education opportunity. In Urumqi, each apartment structure has a "building chief" charged with the creditability of strictly controlling outsiders from affecting into the building.

Meanwhile, Xinjiang's "Antiterrorist Primary Reconnaissance Force" is urgently expanding its hugeness. Aside from having a technical investigative inattention that owns the most advanced technological accoutrements, the special Armed Police Force that operates as a intensity under Section 16 of the Xinjiang Portion publicly Security Department, also has detachments in Urumqi, Kashi, Hotan, Ili and Aksu prefectures. Owing to the job's principal risks, this 2,000-man special Armed Regulate Force always has problems recruiting new people. During its ongoing enlarged recruitment campaign, the soldiers has promised new recruits with higher pay and subsidies and especial arrangements for them when they retire.

One of the tremendous changes that the Beijing Olympics have brought to the Chinese people's mind is the fear of "terrorist bombings." During the Olympic years, most of the bus passengers, after they boarded onto a bus, would invariably look carefully around. If some person has left a satchel or handbag on a bus or at an eatery, big-timer would immediately inform the police to send a batter expert to handle the situation. It is expected that bus passengers will do the same during the 1 October patch. China will mark what it calls the 50th jingoistic founding anniversary on 1 October next year. It is for stable that there will be numerous security personnel on Beijing buses.

Thanks for posting this. I take for granted that this is what UWC was referring to when they said that a crackdown on Uyghurs would upon following the start of Ramadan.

I of anyone who knows the region would have a chuckle about 200,000 troops combing the close especially the Commander of the Lanzhou Military District.
Every year prior to October Day, harbour Uygurs are thrown into the slammer for a month or so. It has nothing to do with Ramadan.

Living in the northern part of Xinjiang, we are fortunately spared the stress of all that is happening in the capital and over to the west, but the heightened guaranty is still noticeable.

The lines for gas stations reach 100-200 meters extensive not because everybody needs gas all at once, but because police are by oneself searching each car, combing through the trunk and looking underneath while dogs take a sniff-search.

I've actually never heard of this "10-household mutually insured system" over here...although I'm not in the final analysis surprised by that.

Ethnic Retribution Attainable in Western China Violence
The New York Times
September 3, 2008
By EDWARD WONG

BEIJING — Two supervise officers who were killed and five who were injured in an trap in the far west of China last Wednesday were ethnic Uighurs searching for a bit of fluff suspected of involvement in earlier virulence, a policeman in the village where the ambush took point said Tuesday.

The attackers were also Uighurs, a Muslim Turkic organize common throughout the western autonomous section of Xinjiang. Brandishing knives, the attackers set upon a platoon of unarmed police officers as the officers were walking through a cornfield in Qizilboy village, said the policeman, who was interviewed by phone, and who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he had not been given approval to talk to reporters.

The authorities gave few details at the age of the incident; the policeman’s account is the fullest thus far. It suggests that some of the modern violence in Xinjiang could be aimed at Uighurs seen by other Uighurs as collaborators with the ethnic Han Chinese, who constitute up the leadership of the Communist Party and control over Xinjiang.
