Monitored, harassed and disadvantaged
Official statements like these have little to do with reality. According to international organizations, members of the Uighur ethnic group are systematically monitored, harassed and
disadvantaged in Xinjiang. The United Nations estimates that around a million Uighurs are in internment camps: without charges and without the possibility of legal recourse. China's state and
party leadership denied the existence of the camps for years, but now euphemistically refers to them as "vocational training centers".
The German ethnologist Adrian Zenz has been researching China's minority policy for years. His latest research shows that China's leadership is increasingly setting up similar centers in Tibet.
