Search French deradicalization boot camps + radicalization monitoring list. Quick research suggest the 2016 program was only partially implemented before being shut down and rebooted under new program in 2018 [0]. Of course the scale in China is going to be greater and execution more comprehensive due to nature of Chinese capabilities. To clarify, I'm only suggesting conceptually the approaches are similar and do not equivocate the two in execution.

The greater context is, Islamic attacks in multicultural European societies in the past 10 years (particularly in England + France) informed internal decision making in China regarding XJ. I remember French banlieue / ethnic enclaves where radicalization was happening were part of conversation on policy debates to revise minority policy in China a few years ago. The position being multicultural "salad bowl", classic soviet oblast model where minorities had relative cultural autonomy had failed to reign in extremism (and separatism in China's case), so now everyone gets sinicized and the Han treatment, aka blending into the US melting pot model.
