My question aims to know what kind of procedures did the Chinese government (allegedly) take since 2014 in Xinjiang, and why to begin with. And what can we know about the region in the current time, like can a random tourist go and see with their own eyes the truth, and maybe film it ?

There are Youtube videos and a Wikipedia page "documenting" human rights infringements, while China and the Marxist forums deny anything harmful. Now that almost nobody is bringing it up, I want to know what was legitimately documented. Investigating the origins and later developments of the case on my own would be so hard.

First of all there is no slave labor in China. Second of all it hasn’t been kept quiet, or else people wouldn’t be posting about it. And third of all the US is not benefiting from any labor in Xinjiang because it has banned imports from the region in order to cause unemployment in the hopes of rekindling its failed terrorism campaign.

    Aside from the wars in Ukraine and Palestine, i can't think of a single alleged or proven "human rights abuse" story since 2020 that got more western press coverage than Xinjiang and the Uighurs. To say it's being "kept quiet" is a fucking hilarious accusation.
