  • was constructed primarily to discipline staff of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (Juntong) – the staff were prisoner there? I can't really follow. Also, this information does not seem to be repeated in the main text.
    • It's in the body of the article, writ "At the top of the hierarchy were Juntong members who had been accused of dereliction of duty or disobedience; according to Mühlhahn, these accounted for approximately 70 per cent of all detainees." They were not prison staff, but staff of the overarching organization.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 10:11, 21 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • The "Description" mixes the description of the original sites with the modern museum, which I thought is confusing. Maybe Auschwitz concentration camp could be a template here; the museum is described in a separate section at the end, which makes much sense to me.
  • Having said that, the "Description" section leaves a lot of questions, and does not do a particularly good job to explain things. What is the relevance of these caves? For what were they used for? Where these two sites effectively two independent camps, or did they had common facilities? From reading that rather short section, I had a hard time imagining how that looked like.
  • The entrance gate identifies the site as the Xifeng Headquarters of the National Government Military Commission,[8] with a further sign reading "Lift Your Head Up" (抬起头来). – OK, but what does it mean? I don't know what to make of this information. Is it currently the headquarters of that commission? What is "Lift Your Head Up" trying to convey? --Jens Lallensack (talk) 09:56, 21 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
