Intel removes Xinjiang references from shareholder letter

Let’s ask the World Bank[1].

> In line with standard practice, immediately after receiving a series of serious allegations in August 2019 in connection with the Xinjiang Technical and Vocational Education and Training Project, the Bank launched a fact-finding review, and World Bank senior managers traveled to Xinjiang to gather information directly. After receiving the allegations, no disbursements were made on the project.

> The team conducted a thorough review of project documents, engaged in discussions with project staff, and visited schools directly financed by the project, as well as their partner schools that were the subject of allegations.

> The review did not substantiate the allegations.

Sorry, but did you read this properly? They could not substantiate that the partner schools abused project funds, but still closed the funding for them, because of too much risk. Probably because reporting standards didn’t match. They do not deny the “situation in Xinjiang” - they say that particular report did not substantiate the purchase of body armor/security gear etc in partner schools.
