世维会周报：C4ADS 监控研究报告、星巴克新疆开店与联合国儿童权利委员会预审WUC weekly brief: C4ADS surveillance report, Starbucks Xinjiang openings, UN child-rights pre-session

周报称，总部位于华盛顿的国防研究机构 C4ADS 发布《Monitoring the Frontier》报告，梳理了覆盖东突厥斯坦、西藏、内蒙古与香港的“互联监控与管控架构”。报告在东突厥斯坦发现135份提及生物识别数据采集技术的合同；被美国制裁的监控设备商宇视科技（Uniview）出现在54份监控相关合同中，多经由第三方。[1]

周报还提到英国军情五处（MI5）的警告：超过100名与英国高校有关的学者，在不知情的情况下参与了与“中国通用技术研究院”有关的项目，该机构被指与中国国家安全部有关联。[1]

商业动态方面，周报称星巴克9月29日在乌鲁木齐开出首两家门店（大巴扎店与天山国际机场店），世维会批评此举是在维吾尔人权状况持续受关注之际，为当地披上“正常化”的外衣，并要求星巴克关店撤出。（美国国会议员 Moolenaar 此前已致信要求星巴克关店。）[1]

联合国层面，周报称在儿童权利委员会对中国的预审工作组会议前，世维会与维吾尔权利组织 UZDM 提出了骨肉分离、国家寄宿学校、歧视、文化与宗教权利、涉维吾尔童工等问题，要求委员会向北京索取骨肉分离规模与具体情形的详细信息。周报还提到，10月1日当天，维吾尔、藏、港、南蒙古与中国人权团体在德国、比利时、美国、土耳其多国举行了抗议。[1]

According to the brief, the Washington-based defense research institution C4ADS published 'Monitoring the Frontier,' examining what it described as an interconnected architecture of surveillance and control across East Turkistan, Tibet, Inner Mongolia and Hong Kong. The report identified 135 contracts in East Turkistan referencing biometric data-collection technologies, while US-sanctioned surveillance company Uniview appeared in 54 surveillance-related contracts, often through third parties. [1]

The brief also cited a warning by the UK Security Service, MI5, that more than 100 academics connected to British institutions had unknowingly contributed to projects linked to the China General Technology Research Institute, which the agency says has ties to China's Ministry of State Security. [1]

On the business front, the brief said Starbucks opened its first two stores in Urumqi on September 29 — at the Grand Bazaar and Tianshan International Airport — and the WUC criticised the move as risking a 'veneer of normalcy' amid continuing concerns over Uyghur rights, calling on Starbucks to close the outlets and leave the region. (US Representative Moolenaar had earlier written to Starbucks urging it to shut the stores.) [1]

At the UN level, the brief said that ahead of the Committee on the Rights of the Child's pre-sessional working group on China, the WUC and the Uyghur rights group UZDM raised concerns over family separation, state-run boarding schools, discrimination, cultural and religious rights, and alleged forced labour involving Uyghur children, urging the committee to seek detailed information from Beijing on the scale and circumstances of family separation. The brief also noted October 1 protests by Uyghur, Tibetan, Hongkonger, Southern Mongolian and Chinese rights groups in Germany, Belgium, the United States and Türkiye. [1]
