Civil Servant-Family Pair Up

Civil Servant-Family Pair Up (Chinese: 结对认亲) is a governmental policy that forces designated families to be matched with civil servants to form a nominal kinship.[1] As a result, the families need to host the civil servants in their home for weeks or even months at a time.[2][3] Since late 2010s, China has vigorously promoted the pair up policy in Xinjiang.[4] According to pro-Chinese Communist Party tabloid Global Times, by 2018, 1.1 million Chinese civil servants were paired with more than 1.69 million Xinjiang families.[5] As of March 2018, every cadre in Onsu County was required to spend eight days a month at the home of villagers.[6]
