There's now substantial evidence - in the Chinese government's own words - that they are detaining Muslims in massive numbers.
403 pages of internal documents have been leaked to the New York Times that describe a clampdown in Xinjiang - a resource-rich territory located on the border of Pakistan, Afghanistan and Central Asia - where authorities have "Corralled as many as a million ethnic Uighurs, Kazakhs and others into internment camps and prisons over the past three years."
The Chinese government has called these camps "Job training centers" to fight Islamic extremism, but the documents seem to confirm the coercive nature of the crackdown in the words of the Chinese government.
The Chinese, who often undertake policymaking under the cloak of secrecy, are certainly not known for leaking internal government documents.
Since 2017, hundreds of thousands of Muslims have been detained in Xinjiang.
One leaked document describes how to handle minority students returning home to Xinjiang in summer 2017 to find that their relatives have been detained.
