US has the highest in prison 655 per capita in the whole world, with another twice more in probation. Far more serious when compared to most developed countries, and China is low at 118. I think US should consider solving its justice problem. Since these camps set up, I don't hear about attacks any more. I think better they learn vocational skills than AK47.

Reply to this commentWe all know Chinese media only Spread fake news which is only beneficial to their communist regime. They don’t care about their people don’t mention other race. They crack down xinjiang because it’s a resource rich region literally you can dig any precious out from that land and also because of its strategic location. Chinese know they invaded and occupied xinjiang so they afraid uyghurs will be independant one day and they could possiblely lose control over that land. The only way to tightly control that Land is to brainwash uyghurs to make them think like Chinese dress like Chinese and act like Chinese. So they came up with this excuse of terrorism (even tho uyghurs are more gracious and morally magnanimous than mainlander Chinese )using their propaganda machine to round up and brainwash uyghurs , if it could not be achieved they will exterminate uyghurs. If you don’t stop Chinese regime . Fate of uyghurs is the fate of other nations one day. May peace be with you

Reply to this commentI’m Christian and unequivocally support the Uighurs. These people are a threat only to the totalitarian ways and goals of Xi Jinping.

Reply to this commentAn anonymous reader below said that these Uighurs look like terrorists. This confirms the racial disrcimination that pervades the Chinese Communist Party & among Han chauvinists. Apparently in China it's OK to jail people based merely on their looks, not their actions. The Nazis called Jews & communists "terrorists" too & locked them up indiscriminately. CCP is waging a war against the Uighur people & their Muslim religion. The world must come together to stop this before it becomes genocide.

Reply to this commentI appreciate your use of “Han chauvinism”, a term coined by Mao to describe his people. It seems nothing has changed.

All told this is very alarming. The Uighur are not permitted to demonstrate their Islamic faith in any way, they must speak Chinese also. The Chinese have a routine of building a road or a railroad to somewhere then moving in the Han in their hordes, as they did about 5 years ago in Xinjiang. Watch for them to do the same on the disputed islands they have built up. They have quantum computing, and hundreds of millions (!) of facial recognition cameras that include features to specifically track all tourists for their safety. They have anti satellite weapons and they are building a fleet of aircraft carriers. They have squeezed Hong Kong lightly since '97 but they could move in lots of soldiers and tanks much more efficiently now they have built a giant 6 lane bridge from the mainland to Macao to Hong Kong. It's perfect for tanks . . .

Reply to this comment"A photo posted to social media by the Xinjiang government in April 2017 shows Uyghur detainees in a camp in Hotan Prefecture."..............All of them look like terrorists. No wonder there are no more terrorist attacks since 18th September 2015 where 50 coal miners were murdered. Good job China, lock them up.

I wonder about the picture. Someone said they look like terrorists. but is this a prison? If you go to any prison in Vietnam, they all be viets, in alabama, almost all black, in xinjiang, most Uighurs. Is this really taken of the camps, why would China allow this?
