About This Document
This 2019 document from Yarkand Government identifies shortcomings in poverty alleviation work, and mandates a set of rectification measures. This includes  guidelines for responding to the most “difficult” members of the population, such as withholding subsistence allowances for individuals who repeatedly refuse to participate in poverty alleviation projects, mandating that all villages establish “love supermarkets” to improve inner motivation, and coercing elderly persons to participate in seasonal labor transfers, including picking cotton.

This document is part of the Xinjiang QQ Files, a cache of files obtained by Dr. Zenz in the second half of 2019 through social media networks used by local government units through Tencent’s QQ app (click for more information).
