Newly revealed, confidential documents have revealed that 61-year old Zhu Hailun, as head of the CCP's powerful Political and Legal Affairs Commission in the Xinjiang region in 2017, played a key role in planning and executing a campaign that has incarcerated a million or more Uighurs into detention camps. Born in 1958 in rural Jiangsu, Zhu Hailun was sent to Kargilik county, deep in the Uighur heartland in Xinjiang while he was in his teens during the Cultural Revolution. He never left. Zhu Hailun joined the Party in 1980 and moved up Xinjiang’s bureaucracy, helming hotspot cities. By the 1990s, he was so fluent in Uighur that he corrected his own translators during meetings.
