Hong Kong, May 11 (ANI): China s 2016 relatives policy , where Chinese government cadres are sent to live, work and sleep with families to promote national harmony in the country, has emerged as a major constituent of a broader crackdown on Uyghurs and other ethnic minorities in Xinjiang.
CNN reported that the Chinese media depicts the policy as a blend of community service and education by using rosy images of the home stay programme. However, several people who have fled Xinjiang said that the host families greeting each other as relatives are actually hostages.

Hong Kong (CNN reports on May 9th) A woman raises a toast in a photo that appears to show four friends enjoying dinner together. The reality couldn’t be more different.

Her four “guests” are Chinese government cadres who lived in her home for 10 days every month for two years before her family fled, she said.
