I am Chinese. I took a look at some of these "key documents", but I don't know what is wrong.

1. For the "Education Training Center" or the so-called "Re-education Camp", the intake rules from "Vocational Skills Education Training Center Intake Examination and Registration System"[1] says: "对符合规定条件应予收押的犯罪嫌疑人、被告人,应当对其人身和携带的物品进行严格检查,对女性的人身检查,应当由女工作人员进行。". From Google translation (if you don't understand Chinese lol), it means "Criminal suspects and defendants who meet the prescribed conditions and should be taken into custody shall be subject to strict inspections of their persons and their belongings, and the physical inspection of women shall be carried out by female staff members." (btw the english version of this document is not so accurate).

I think it is very clear that those detainee are criminal suspects or defendants, so my question is, is it wrong to detain these guys?

2. About the environment of the "Education Training Center". From "System for Vocational Skill Education and Training Center Detainees Leaving the School for Medical Treatment"[2], the detainees can leave the "camp" for medical treatment, but need to be escorted, and cannot contact with other people. From "Education and Training Center Management System for Calls to Relatives (Trial Implementation)"[3], the detainees can call their relatives every 10 days. What surprises me is the rule 6, which says when the detainee's family is in need, the grassroot (草根, the community office) needs to find a solution to help them and gets back to the detainee.

Anything wrong about this?

Circular logic without due process. You don't just become a criminal because a totalitarian government says you're one, at least not by the standards of the rest of us. In other words: careful just because you're Han doesn't mean you won't be next
