Classic NYTimes taking quotes out of context. Note the reporter can't even quote full sentences but rather construct their own narrative with a very selective use of phrases in the Xi document.

Where in the document did Xi direct the Chinese State against Uighurs? Full paragraph quotes, please.

It's clever isn't it.

“organs of dictatorship,” has a meaning dating back to at least 60's China. But I can't work out what this English translation of their saying means. https://www.marxists.org/subject/china/peking-review/1968/PR...

Perhaps NYTimes is writing at a political scholar of China audience, rather than the average person?
