    His estimate was completely separate from the CHRD one. He initially based his estimate of "just over a million" (https://jamestown.org/program/evidence-for-chinas-political-re-education-campaign-in-xinjiang/) off of a Newsweek Japan report (https://www.newsweekjapan.jp/stories/world/2018/03/89-3_1.php) that cites a report by Istiqlal TV, a Uyghur exile media organization based in Turkey that pushes for separatism.

        Can't find a more detailed source that makes it more clear about whether or not affirmative action still applies though.
