We obtained 403 pages of Communist Party documents that reveal how China plotted to detain up to a million Muslims in a campaign that it calls a benevolent effort against the pull of extremism. In reality, it is a ruthless, coercive clampdown. The documents — one of the most significant leaks from inside China's Communist Party in decades — show how officials planned to put Muslims and ethnic minorities into camps, and detail secret speeches by President Xi Jinping that laid the groundwork for the crackdown. Tap the link in our bio to read about how the documents show Chinese officials used words like "virus," "infected" and "eradicate" to justify mass detentions, and planned how they would manage and intimidate families that were torn apart.
