Source conflicts and limitations
The two narratives — retaliation against a whistleblower vs. the official medical account — are irreconcilable on key points (library employment, diagnosis, motive); this archive presents both as reported. The forced-hospitalization date is inconsistently reported (March 2016 vs. 2017). There is no charge, trial, sentence, or release date to document; all detention claims rest on investigative and monitoring-organization reporting. The gambling allegation was never publicly investigated and is not presented as established fact. No definitive medical verdict on Xu’s mental state is asserted.
