  • Title: Three types of people: 三类人员 (Sān lèi rényuán)
  • Audio:
  • Description: This is an audio recording of how to pronounce 三类人员 (Sān lèi rényuán). The “three types of people” are prisoners, inmates in detention centers, and inmates in re-education facilities. According to the UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (document in English and Chinese) the first category refers to people who have participated activity considered to be extremist but not a crime. The second category refers to people who have participated in an activity considered extremist and criminal, but is willing to acknowledge wrongdoing and be reintegrated back to society. The third category refers to people who have already been convicted or sentenced for behaviour considered extremist and criminal, but still remain a threat to society. While the approach to each type of detainees is slightly different, it reflects a systematic, centralized mode of institutionalization ever since the “Strike Hard Campaign” has gone into overdrive.A secondary definition of the three types of people in official discourse is “extremists, separatists, and terrorists.” While the term is applied inconsistently by different government agencies, it is used to denote the “undesirables” worthy of detention and high-handed state intervention.
