destroying documents and data

Top officials in the Xinjiang regional government deliberated how to respond to the leaks in meetings at the Chinese Communist Party's regional headquarters in Urumqi, four people in contact with government employees have claimed.

Hawzah News Agency - China has been deleting data, destroying documents and tightening controls on information in response to leaks of classified papers on its mass Muslim detention camps, sources have claimed.

Top officials in the Xinjiang regional government deliberated how to respond to the leaks in meetings at the Chinese Communist Party's regional headquarters in Urumqi, four people in contact with government employees have claimed. 

These meetings began days after numerous internal speeches on Xinjiang by top leaders including Chinese President Xi Jinping were published by the New York Times last month.

They then continued after the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists worked with news organisations around the world to publish secret guidelines for operating detention camps and instructions on how to use technology to target people.  

The Chinese government has long struggled with its 11-million-strong Uighur population, an ethnic Turkic minority native to Xinjiang, and in recent years has detained a million or more Uighurs and other minorities in the camps.
