     In October, the Police Department of the town of Shihezi, in northern Xinjiang, posted a notice on a microblog saying that all residents would have to hand in their passports for an annual review. The notice was later deleted, but screen captures of it remain online.
     Shihezi was founded decades ago as an agricultural settlement and garrison, known as a bingtuan. The bingtuan system is widespread across Xinjiang and is operated by the powerful Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, a central-government agency with military ties. Like other bingtuan, Shihezi has a mostly Han population.
