Recent interview showed they also round up people for "further education" after releasing them the first time.

Assuming the allegations are true- psychological, physical torture, rape, forced work and so on- is it not reasonable to assume that not all who enter will leave?

People die in prisons too, that doesn't make them extermination camps.

They don't need to be extermination camps to have mass graves, and if I am not mistaken, many extermination camps were thought by outsiders to be prison / work camps until the truth came out.

All of this- on every side- is pure speculation until a trusted independent inspection can be performed. Unfortunately, I am skeptical that will happen anytime soon- I seriously doubt China would see attempts to do so as anything other than a violation of their sovreignty.
