(Reuters) - A worker rakes a spread of drying chilli peppers on a farm in Shihezi, Xinjiang October 15, 2005. The worker belongs to a paramilitary organisation called the Construction and Production Corps, formed in the 1950s. Known in Chinese as 'bingtuan', or military formation, officials say the once secretive group has severed links to the military -- but its members still spend 40 days a year in training, to ensure they can take up a gun again if needed.
