- Title: Self-defence Self-governance: 群防群治 (Qúnfáng qúnzhì)
- Creator: Xinjiang Documentation Project
- Language:
- Item Type: Sound File
- Description: This is an audio recording of how to pronounce 群防群治 (Qúnfáng qúnzhì). The Self-defence, Self-governance is an application of the Mass Line (群众路线) by the party in public security, which requires the governments to mobilize people to maintain social security and solve the conflicts at the grassroots level. It mainly includes two activities: resolving conflicts and doing security checks and patrols to prevent any illegal activities. Xi Jinping borrowed the idea from Mao’s “Fengqiao Experience” (枫桥经验), which refers to Public Security Committee (治安保卫委员会) established in the 1950s to oppress anti-revolutionaries, and required Xinjiang governments to practice it, during a meeting in March 2017. In Xinjiang, the best manifestation of the Self-defence, Self-governance is Ten Family Joint Defence (十户(铺)联防), also known as Double Family Defence Stability Maintenance (维稳双联户), which is the most pervasive security system in Xinjiang.

- Title: Social Harmony: 社会和谐 (Shèhuì héxié)
- Creator: Xinjiang Documentation Project
- Language:
- Item Type: Sound File
- Description: This is an audio recording of how to pronounce 社会和谐 (Shèhuì héxié). The use of social harmony in politics in China largely begins with Hu Jintao’s official policy to promote a “harmonious socialist society” that is characterized by socioeconomic development, ethnic harmony, and peaceful international relations. This social harmony in practice meant that undesirable public discourse is censored and social disturbances are suppressed. Prioritizing harmony means that dissent could be viewed as subversion of state power and could be subjected to harsh penalties.

- Title: Targeted Population: 重点人口 (Zhòngdiǎn rénkǒu)
- Creator: Xinjiang Documentation Project
- Language:
- Item Type: Sound File
- 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.
