That's a weird word game to play. So you are pointing out that the government supports there own policy? In this potentially makes it not sinister?

Yes, the obviously make an attempt to normalize their policy, just like every government does with every policy. The problem is what they are doing is wrong.

I am surprised that the Chinese government so openly admits to behavior much of the rest of the world finds horrifying.

I was also commenting on how people deny the camps exist even when the Chinese themselves admit they exist.

The chinese government did deny most of the camps for a long time and only after repeatedly confronted with overwhelming evidence to the contrary changed their tune to widespread (re)education camps.

They don't admit it, they whitewash atrocities by saying the camps are for "re-education".

Which, if you look at the history of "re-education", is still horrifying.

Anyone sold by the "re-education" line is not looking at the history.
