Seems to confirm scale of camps system (1.3 million a year). Journos and scholars got it right. This may also include people put through mandatory "educational transformation" without being confined--the less punitive tier of the huge punitive system. scmp.com/news/china/pol…
Worth noting: PRC only provided free public education (including Chinese language) in Xinjiang countryside since 2014. There might have been a better way to educate than charging subsistence farmers for school for 65 years, then suddenly locking millions in camps. But---
This is not really about education, and never was. It's a form of collective punishment and attempted ethnic assimilation.
Also of interest--this PRC white paper contradicts the faux left, trollish conspiracy folks tweeting that camps don't exist, are all CIA plot. PRC ultimately says they are schools, not punitive internment, but admits their existence and numbers of people involved.
