They are disappearing Marxist students, that want real Communism. Xi is just doing a Republic with Capitalism and leadership that is never voted out.
The only difference I guess really than a Socialist dictatorship, is at least China understands the State can't give everybody free shit. So industry and commerce is the only way.
Any poor pauper can save up $10K and open a Asian noodle business or pretty much anything they want.

That is National Socialism. Where the government controls, but does not own industry. Germany modeled this in 1930s.

And it's none of Sofia Richardson's damn business. For the last ten years, there's been hundreds of stories where Uyghurs(Chinese Muslim sect) hacking up elementary school children with hatchets and machetes.
If I were that worried about being surveilled, I would move out of the most technological surveilled city on the planet.
China has so many ghost Cities, I don't know why a couple hundred thousand just doesn't go take one over.

This. All day long. Xi is a despot running a national socialist government.

Human Rights Watch has a great article about this. It reads straight out of 1984 or Brazil. Unlike the US which has chosen the Brave New World Route.
A snippet for your interest
**Since late 2016, the Chinese government has subjected the 13 million ethnic Uyghurs and other Turkic Muslims in Xinjiang to mass arbitrary detention, forced political indoctrination, restrictions on movement, and religious oppression. Credible estimates indicate that under this heightened repression, up to one million people are being held in “political education” camps. The government’s “Strike Hard Campaign against Violent Terrorism” (Strike Hard Campaign, 严厉打击暴力恐怖活动专项行动) has turned Xinjiang into one of China’s major centers for using innovative technologies for social control.**
