The Associated Press, Wall Street Journal, ChinaFile [0], Foreign Policy magazine [1], Deutsche Welle, Amnesty International, and various academics have all done great independent reporting on the subject, if you care to look. Shawn Zhang [2] has done extensive open-source satellite image analysis to locate and identify many suspected camps.
If you believe in gravitational waves, the speed of light, and DNA, all things whose existence can only (for most) be directly observed and described by trusted experts, then trust the international press when they say something's going very wrong in Xinjiang.

- mrobot 8y agoI just feel like i'm being programmed to be pro regime-change in China. I don't trust Amnesty. Amnesty International co-founder Luis Kutner seems responsible for snitching on Fred Hampton and for his death and US "human rights" organizations seem like they are basically the CIA. Amnesty also published the debunked "Sednaya" report full of lies about Syria. The Xinjiang articles came up all of a sudden, up until just recently i had only ever seen one article about Xinjiang. The new articles seem to suggest Islam is being eradicated or something like that when it's simply not true. Here is another article i've seen that is more pro-china: https://dailytimes.com.pk/238763/how-xi-jinping-tackled-radicalism-in-xinjiang/ https://dailytimes.com.pk/238763/how-xi-jinping-tackled-radi... . It's not a lie that Xinjiang did have a "scourge of extremism".
