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.

Darling, the police of a Socialist state are not equivalent to the police of capitalists. They have completely different motivations. Police under capitalism exist to protect private property and nothing else. The function of the police in a worker's state is the same as in that of a bourgeois state: enforcing the class interest of the ruling class. The difference lies in who constitutes the ruling class.

    My dearest. I had a close familly member tortured for months for participating in the anti-nazi underground, by a communist state. I had my father beaten up number of times for participating in a trade union by a socialist state. And I can show you the same socialist state riding tanks over and firing on strikig miners. For the working class there is no difference which regime the police follows. They will always protect the elites against the masses.

    Oh, and if you haven't been; China is as much a capitalist state as any other. Slightly more steered market, less civic freedoms, but not significantly different, only the elites are called "the party". Thats how you go about buisnesses, it's not some alumni club or sect, you join the party for that and repeat the slongas while going about with the exploitation. Working class still works itself to death in miserable conditions, the elites still get disproportionate benefits. But yeah there will be a red flag in front of a international bank.
