Canada's Parliament just voted to declare it a genocide. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/uighur-genocide-motion-vote-1.5922711 And I've been seeing a lot of conflicting takes on it on twitter and here. From what I can gather from researching the main issue is lack of indication of full on genocide there, but there also seems to be a fair amount of evidence that these camps do exist. I fail to see how that is "good" as people on this site appear to be indicating?

    It seems like the situation is that the US, through the CIA, began the dissolving process of the Uyghur culture by capitalizing on the waning separatist sentiment, training terrorists, and beginning to destabilize the area, sending it on a downward trajectory of tension. And China, in an act of self-preservation, formed re-education camps and forced a small minority of the Uygur population into them, with the aim of restabilizing the area and rehabilitating radicalized terrorists. Is that right?
