That's not this situation, though. The original report on coercion in the Xinjiang cotton industry doesn't even make the claim that they're enslaved, uncompensated, or forced, although after passing through a dozen media articles it's warped into that. Most people here are seemingly unaware that this is an entirely different set of allegations than the reeducation camps.
Implicit coercion has been used to shift Uyghur people into the market economy. The visible income of poor Uyghurs is in fact the metric that local officials are being evaluated on for performance.
