> China's policy of transferring hundreds of thousands of Uighurs and other ethnic minorities in Xinjiang to new jobs often far from home is leading to a thinning out of their populations, according to a high-level Chinese study seen by the BBC.
Funny story, this has been going on for decades as a pro-Uighur economic development campaign. Lots of migrant labor in China in general, and it's not always easy to get permission to move to where the jobs are under the hukou system. It's actually a great economic opportunity.
Notice that there's no actual reference to anyone being forced to do anything. They just imply it by working in statements that are against the general concept of forced labor.
