Gulchehra Hoja, a Uyghur American Who Works for Radio Free Asia | National Review
The Chinese government has turned East Turkestan into a wretched, shocking surveillance state. They have set up a network of concentration camps, a gulag archipelago. What goes on in those camps? Brainwashing, drugging, forced abortion, forced sterilization, torture, starvation, rape, forced labor, murder. Children are separated from their parents, placed in their own camps.
One other detail, chilling and revolting: Outside the camps, Han Chinese men are moved into Uyghur homes, to live with the women and children there women and children whose husbands and fathers are in the camps (if they are still alive).
In short, the Chinese government is trying to break the Uyghur people. The government is trying to break Uyghur culture, Uyghur identity, and often Uyghur bodies. Many are calling it genocide, and that includes the U.S. government.
