Clearharmony — “Former Tangshan Iron & Steel Company Employee Repeatedly Abused at Brainwashing Centres and Mental Hospital” (opened and read in full: https://en.clearharmony.net/articles/a52099-Former-Tangshan-Iron-Steel-Company-Employee-Repeatedly-Abused-at-Brainwashing-Centres-and-Mental-Hospital.html). A male Zhao Xihua of Tangshan, Hebei — a technician detained 1999–2003. Male, different province, different era: definitively a different person. Preserved here only to prevent confusion.
Minghui (2003) — “Dafa Practitioner Mr. Zhao Xihua Is Arrested Many Times and Sent to a Brainwashing Center” (Tangshan, Hebei, reported August 2003: https://en.minghui.org/html/articles/2003/8/26/39529.html).

Source conflicts and limitations
The case rests on Minghui.org’s reporting plus the 维权网 roster. No primary court record, official procedural record, international-media account, or independent NGO coverage has been located; no PRC official source was found. The exact verdict date and the current detention facility are not stated by any source. The 2001–2003 persecution history and the December 2024 displacement are single-source (Minghui) claims and stay attributed. The Chinese characters 赵喜华 are positionally identified from the roster’s own Chinese edition. No contradictory account of this case was found. No consular dimension was established.
