  • Title: Targeted Population: 重点人口 (Zhòngdiǎn rénkǒu)
  • Audio:
  • Description: This is an audio recording of how to pronounce 重点人口 (Zhòngdiǎn rénkǒu). This term originally referred to various “undesirables” such as class enemies, counter-revolutionaries, and criminals in the Mao era and the 1980s. It has now expanded and evolved into denoting petty criminals, drug addicts, mental health patients, and in the context of Xinjiang, those who are suspected of being piously Muslim and/or not loyal to China. This labeling and clumping Muslims together with criminals entail state intervention and ubiquitous surveillance. Particularly, once labeled as a “Zhongdian Renkou,” people are monitored and restricted in every aspect of their lives from finding employment to being subjected to arbitrary home visits.
