A new report released on October 18 by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI), an
Australian research organization, reveals new details about how the Chinese Communist Party —
and specifically who within the party — is carrying out its campaign of repression in Xinjiang. The
report uncovers the actual offices and individuals implementing the Chinese government's forced
labour policies in Xinjiang. Entitled "The Architecture of Repression: Unpacking Xinjiang's
Governance," the report maps out 170 government bureaus in Xinjiang, identifies 440 top local
officials, and reveals a return to mass political campaigns there. It is based on thousands of pages of Chinese government documents, as well as new databases of government offices and party
officials compiled by ASPI, now made available for other researchers to use.
