China has openly acknowledged these camps, going so far has to request the UN acknowledge their sovereignty:

β€œThe Chinese government officially legalized re-education camps in Xinjiang in October 2018.[422] Prior to that, when international media had asked about the re-education camps, China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that they have not heard of this situation.[423]

On 12 August 2018, a Chinese state-run tabloid, Global Times, defended the crackdown in Xinjiang after a U.N. anti-discrimination committee raised concerns over China's treatment of Uyghurs. According to the Global Times, China prevented Xinjiang from becoming 'China's Syria' or 'China's Libya', and local authorities' policies saved countless lives and avoided a 'great tragedy'.[424][425]

On 21 August 2018, Liu Xiaoming, the Ambassador of China to the United Kingdom, wrote an article in response to a Financial Times report entitled "Crackdown in Xinjiang: Where have all the people gone?".[432] Liu's response said: "The education and training measures taken by the local government of Xinjiang have not only effectively prevented the infiltration of religious extremism and helped those lost in extremist ideas to find their way back, but also provided them with employment training in order to build a better life."[433]

In September 2020, amid condemnation from Western countries, Chinese paramount leader Xi Jinping acclaimed the success of his policies in Xinjiang in a 2-day conference expected to set the country's policy for the next years.[445] The Chinese government published a white paper defending its "vocational training centers," claiming that the regional government organised 'employment-oriented training' and labour skills for 1.29 million workers a year from 2014 to 2019.[446]β€œ

Quoting lines out of wikipedia, the most corrupted source of information for anything geoploticial is not a contribution.

Lets examine these lies.

422. The source is CNN, an American propaganda outlet. Its sources are a Mike Pence speech, two broken links and 3 other CNN articles.

423. A website called foreignaffairs.com, which is "dedicated to improving the understanding of U.S. foreign policy" according to its about page.

424, 425. Not even claiming anything unusual. Education is a good thing, it's more effective than the American response of bombing weddings.

433. What on earth could be wrong with this? This is wonderful?

445. Yeah, he's right?

446. Again, this is amazing. America could learn from this.

Isn't America, the country we're supposed to believe here, a literal slave state with slavery embedded in the constitution and literal black people enslaved to pick cotton? Yes it is. And the home of 20% of the world's prison population? Yes it is.

But for some reason there's no wiki pages about this...

If you don't like Wikipedia, how about the Chinese government's official arrest statistics? https://web.archive.org/web/20180725042225/https://www.nchrd... Just click on the numbers in the table to verify that they match the original Chinese source.

Of course you can choose to believe that the Internet Archive is in on the conspiracy, in which case you cannot be helped.

Or you can choose to believe that Chinese police were exaggerating their arrest statistics to make themselves look good, in which case I have an interesting article for you that mentions the practice: https://madeinchinajournal.com/2019/10/25/punish-and-cure%ef...
