Here’s a free pdf, different translation though.
This is the first time we’re doing this so is kind of messy. But I think this format should work from now on. We’ll have a nomination thread, then a voting thread with the most votes one wins by plurality (voting should be on Saturday and then close by midnight), this first time we did both in a single thread, but next one should be divided.
The book club discussions will be hold every Sunday, I’ll post them around noon E.T.
Now I have to ask, is 100 pages a week fine? Or 50 pages?
If it is 100 we could agree to read up to Chapter 7, which ends at page 97. If is 50, until page 53, that is, the first 3 Chapters.

We commend China's remarkable achievements in the field of human rights by adhering to the people-centered development philosophy and protecting and promoting human rights through development. We also appreciate China's contributions to the international human rights cause.
We take note that terrorism, separatism and religious extremism has caused enormous damage to people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang, which has seriously infringed upon human rights, including right to life, health and development. Faced with the grave challenge of terrorism and extremism, China has undertaken a series of counter-terrorism and deradicalization measures in Xinjiang, including setting up vocational education and training centers. Now safety and security has returned to Xinjiang and the fundamental human rights of people of all ethnic groups there are safeguarded. The past three consecutive years has seen not a single terrorist attack in Xinjiang and people there enjoy a stronger sense of happiness, fulfillment and security. We note with appreciation that human rights are respected and protected in China in the process of counter-terrorism and deradicalization.
We appreciate China's commitment to openness and transparency. China has invited a number of diplomats, international organizations officials and journ*list to Xinjiang to witness the progress of the human rights cause and the outcomes of counter-terrorism and deradicalization there. What they saw and heard in Xinjiang completely contradicted what was reported in the media. We call on relevant countries to refrain from employing unfounded charges against China based on unconfirmed information before they visit Xinjiang. We urge the OHCHR, Treaty Bodies and relevant Special Procedures mandate holders to conduct their work in an objective and impartial manner according to their mandate and with true and genuinely credible information, and value the communication with member states.
