The Xinjiang regional government in China's far west is deleting data, destroying documents, tightening controls on information and has held high-level meetings in response to leaks of classified papers on its mass detention camps for Uighurs and other predominantly Muslim minorities, according to four people in contact with government employees there.

The Chinese government has long struggled with its 11-million-strong Uighur population, an ethnic Turkic minority native to Xinjiang, and in recent years has detained 1 million or more Uighurs and other minorities in the camps.Xinjiang officials and the Chinese foreign ministry have not directly denied the authenticity of the documents, though Urumqi Communist Party chief Xu Hairong called reports on the leaks "malicious smears and distortions".

Restrictions on information appear to be tightening further. Some university teachers and district-level workers in Urumqi have been ordered to clean out sensitive data on their computers, phones and cloud storage, and to delete work-related social media groups, according to one Uighur with direct knowledge of the situation.

The leaked documents lay out the Chinese government's deliberate strategy to lock up ethnic minorities even before they commit a crime, and to rewire their thoughts and the language they speak. They reveal that facilities Beijing calls "vocational training schools" are forced ideological and behavioral re-education centres run in secret.

China coy on 'big' trade deal announced by Donald TrumpUS President Donald Trump says a resolution to the trade war with China is close, but China's government has yet to confirm the conclusion of a deal. You'd better hope Trump's deal with China isn't like his deal with Kim Jong-un. Trump is talking himself up again. He pretends, then he forgets he's been pretending & he lies.....then he pretends to cover his lies, then he lies again & again......as usual The never Trumpers biggest fear is Trump winning, what sad little things Lefties really are 😪🤦‍♂️.
