Its very important to emphasize that these accusations of "slave labor" and "genocide" are all wildly malicious distortions of whats really going on - rural industrial development and the accompanying disruptions to traditional agricultural life; with the additional context of this taking place during an ongoing, long-simmering US-sponsored Islamist separatist insurgency that recently escalated in the last decade.
So when you see fearmongering propaganda about "cultural genocide" in paving over "Uighur cemeteries" and bulldozing mosques to replace them with with freeways and rail lines, it's just the normal birth pangs of new, rapid infrastructure development. When you see stories about vocational training centers actually being sinister "re-education centers" and "concentration camps", its actually exactly what it says on the tin because the CCP is trying to simultaneously de-radicalize young men whove been radicalized by the intrusion and disruption of modern industry upon their traditional lifestyles while also training these farmhands to adjust to a new regional economy with its accompanying demands. And when you see stories about "slave labor" its actually new factories in the region demanding a large new labor supply and the CCP moving to meet it.
If you read between the lines it's easy to see what's actually going on. Nothing the CCP has done in the region is out of the ordinary when it comes to rapid capitalist development and every new sensational "development" Zenz, the emigres, and the CISC come up with fits fine with this thesis.
Pick and take what you need from it.
