      absolute minimum is around half a million detainee in total (ccp numbers until 2019), and most outside estimates place the number closer to 1-2 million uyghur detainees.

      Bear in mind that this is not some static equation, mass detainment started almost 10 years ago at this point and has been occurring for a decade. with detainment ongoing and the CCP long having stopped sharing specific information, it’s going to be hard to get specific numbers past 2019(the half a million number) for years to come.

        And where did you get those numbers?

        Source?

        You were able to assert “absolute minimum is around half a million” though, so you must have been able to get those specific numbers somewhere. Where did you get them?

              it’s in Chinese.

              every province in China has a local government, so this is the local government of xinjiang.

              it’s very similar to having a state government in the US.

                Where did you find your link?

                Also I don’t see anything on that link suggesting what you’re claiming.

        You keep dropping numbers like this without sourcing them.

          you’ll have to look through the other comments for the sources, I’ve had to drop that same source like four times now.
