    I don't know, this seems like pretty weak sauce. A lot of it is just describing how prisons and incarceration work in much of the world:

    The document is more evidence that the official narrative constructed by China about the camps is false; "vocational education and training center" is a euphemism.

    We call prisons in the U.S. "correctional facilities." Similar names are used in countries that actually put a major focus on rehabilitative work.

    Students are monitored after their release.

    So parole?

    Strictly forbid phones, recorders and other recording equipment from being brought onto the premises; pictures must not be carelessly posted online.

    As you point out, public/press access to prisons is usually pretty limited.


    You could make some prison abolitionist arguments about this, sure. But I don't think it even comes close to how the U.S. treats black people. It's certainly not an actual genocide, and "cultural genocide" has become such a loose term that I don't think it's helpful here either.
