> recording devices are being put in the homes of these people to prevent passage of oral culture/history to the young

This is the first time I hear of this, but I haven't been paying close attention - can you tell me more about it?

https://www.shahit.biz/eng/ Here is a database of over 5000 video testimonials by people who have had family members disappeared into Chinese "re-education camps". You can spit the database file out as a .xls and text search it. I found four accounts of forced abortions for women held in the camps.

I meant specifically the recording devices in homes. I'm otherwise aware of China's general anti-Uyghur policy.

Not OP; I've only come across this in a Vice documentary - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7AYyUqrMuQ

I don't think the surveillance has the explicit purpose of preventing cultural reproduction, but I can imagine it has a chilling effect.

I’ve also been having trouble getting more information on this

People would ironically prefer to censor my interest at all, or thats how it seems

Planet money had a recent episode that was really good on the Uighers that you could listen to.
