In the end, over people were reported killed, most of them Han. Over the weeks that followed, hundreds, perhaps thousands, of young Uyghurs were disappeared by the police. The internet was shut o in the region for over nine months, and Facebook and Twitter were blocked across the country. Soon after the internet came back online in —with the notable absence of Facebook, Twitter, and other non-Chinese social media applications—state security, higher education, and private industry began to collaborate on breaking Uyghur internet autonomy.

Much of the Uyghur-language internet was transformed from a virtual free society into a zone where government technology could learn to predict criminal behavior.

Already in , Xi Jinping had announced that cybersecurity was a national priority; now Party leadership began to incentivize Chinese tech rms to build and develop technologies that could help the government control and modify Uyghur society. The company also developed programs to automate the transcription and translation of Uyghur voice messaging. The company Hikvision advertised tools that could automate the identi cation of Uyghur faces based on physiological phenotypes.

The rollout of this new technology required a great deal of manpower and technical training. Over , new police o cers were hired. One of their jobs was to conduct the sort of health check Alim underwent, creating biometric records for almost every human being in the region.

Face signatures were created by scanning individuals from a variety of di erent angles as they made di erent facial expressions; the result was a high-de nition portfolio of personal emotions. All Uyghurs were required to install the Clean Net Guard app, which monitored everything they said, read, and wrote, and everyone they connected with, on their smartphones. The assessments were iterative. As a test, they brought their Uyghur hosts food without telling them whether the meat used in the dishes was halal or not.

They looked for any sign of resentment or any lack of enthusiasm in Chinese patriotic activities. They gave the children candy so that they would tell them the truth about what their parents thought. All of this information was entered into databases and then fed back into the IJOP. Speaking in Uyghur, the man at the front desk told me I did not need to scan my face to register because I had foreign identi cation. Exiting the train an hour later in Turpan, my face had to be veri ed manually at the local police station.

The o cer in charge, a Han woman, told a young Uyghur o cer to scan my passport photo with her smartphone and match that image with photos she took of my face. My movements were being recorded and analyzed by deep learning systems.

I, too, was training the IJOP. In order to avoid the cameras, I took unauthorized Uyghur taxis, ducked into Uyghur bookstores, and bummed hand-rolled cigarettes from Uyghur peddlers while I asked questions about the reeducation system. I hoped that slipping into the blind spots of the IJOP would help to protect the people I spoke with there.

A few weeks after my trip, I heard that another American who had lived in the region for an extended period was interrogated by public security o cers about my activities.
