Acknowledgements 37 10. Endnotes 38 Cover image: A guide gestures to a depiction of early bingtuan migrants to East Turkestan, from a state media report on the Bingtuan Museum in Shihezi. 2 1. Executive Summary The bingtuan (also known as the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps (XPCC) or in Mandarin: xinjiang shengchang jianshe bingtuan—(this report will refer to the group as the bingtuan), is a paramilitary organization in East Turkestan that answers directly to the central Chinese Communist Party (CCP) government in Beijing. Its goals are primarily colonial: develop the land in East Turkestan, secure the border, and maintain stability. Its structure reflects its paramilitary organization, with 14 divisions made up of dozens of regiments. Ethnically, the bingtuan is 86% Han, compared to the overall proportion of Han in East Turkestan, which is only 40%. The bingtuan represents one of the foremost institutions of Han dominance, and marginalization of Uyghurs and other indigenous ethnic groups, in East Turkestan. This report details the bingtuan activity with regard to propaganda, urbanization, prisons, militarization, employment discrimination, and rural policies causing displacement and environmental destruction. The report methodology includes translation of Chinese government documents, interviews with Uyghur people living overseas who witnessed bingtuan policies firsthand before fleeing East Turkestan, and research on academic and media reports in Chinese, Uyghur and English, particularly using the Uyghur Human Rights Project’s access to Uighurbiz, the website of Uyghur scholar Ilham Tohti.

The present study collected groundwater samples from 60 wells with depth over 100 m in the plain areas of Xinjiang from October to November of 2011. The comparison of hydrochemical data obtained in 2011 and 2003 in the same wells indicated that salinization occurred in a spot-like pattern in Xinjiang. Among the 60 groundwater samples, 20 samples were seriously salinized, which made up to 33.3% of the total wells. Through the analysis of the characteristics of salinization of deep groundwater in this region, four causes of saliniza- tion and four countermeasures to prevent salinization were put forward.
