>The China Cables provide inside details about what all the mass surveillance and data collection is FOR. It is fed into IJOP, which learns from the data and uses it to produce lists of names, sometimes 1000s at a time, for police to detain.
>For example, in a seven-day period in June 2017, IJOP flagged 24,412 names as “suspicious.” In that week alone, Xinjiang security officials rounded up 15,683 of those people and placed them in internment camps.
>And the rest of that particular intelligence briefing was dedicated to analyzing why police hadn’t been able to detain even more of the original list. (Some reasons included: the person was dead, they could not be located, or they were a govt official).

The witnesses to the alleged offenses were co-workers, with Uighur names, with whom he had spoken.
> The court document indicates the defendant’s lawyer asked the court for leniency, stating that this was the man’s first offense and that because of his “low legal awareness and education level, he was easily susceptible to being misguided and committing crimes.”
> He was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
