Literally just google translate through the "primary" sources US propaganda cites, and strip away any biased analysis. All you'll find is boring leaked CCP policy and procurement documents that states exactly what PRC was doing, big securitization/derardicalization/sinicization project after decades of Uyghur terrorist attacks which has been tracked by global terrorism database. If want to compare this to Israel's situation / antiterrorism framing, that's all the source one needs.
Go through this list, look at the timeline. Look what happens after "Strike Hard" campaign started ~2015 during peak Uyghur/Turkestan/ETIM attacks in the years prior. Click show expanded to see the attack type, all of them explosives/vehicles/knife attacks. TLDR PRC won their war on terror in a few years. MENA leaders who has to deal with the same takes notice and golf claps.
Of course fixing domestic terrorism with extreme prejudice is permissible, so you get all the laundered/reintrepretted propaganda US funded by state department, again headed by we lied, we cheat, we stole Pompeo to disagree and try to paint as genocide. Go to the horses mouth and read state department releases or Zenz garbage on jamestown and see where they allege mass deaths, they don't, just trying to link a few deaths, which is statistically inevitable in project this size to... somehow genociding Uyghurs, as in trying to elimnate a minority. Boring reality if you prase through inscrutable boring CCP technocrat writing intead of propaganda by "sources that disagree" are documents showing heavy handed attempt to filter individuals with high extremist indicators (i.e. systematic targetting not arbiturary, why 11/12 of Ugyhurs didn't get Chinese school camp treatment), throw them in a reeducation centre until they aren't extremist or too scared to be (for most this is few months), and follow up with poverty alleviations program to get idle poor busy/not poor so they aren't thinking about jihad. That's it. No ones being wiped out, even the dumbest US propaganda doesn't pretend so. Uyghurs are being deradicalized/sinicized not liquidated.
Queue a few years ago, most of XJ propaganda stopped. Why, because the campaign ended successfully. Hence all the new tourism propaganda, because region is safe now and most back in society, cowed, but doing their thing. The small % of most recalcitrant got sent to prison for long ass sentences. Then the pivot was to "coerced" labour, that western MSM propagandized into "slave" labour because CCP news was bragging about 500k Tibetans or 1M Uyghurs being sent through the rural labour transfer programs... literally a poverty alleviation program that's been around for 20 years, in most provinces that 10s of millions of Han already went through. There's just too much stupidity to go through on topic. Search rural-to-urban labor transfer studies from before 2010s... lots of academic writings on the initiative, except suddenly when it comes to Uyghurs, it's slave labour, and not giving some rural bumpkin some factory work that pays multiples what they currently make. In case of many Uyghurs/Tibetans, illiterate (as in poor Chinese fluency) that factories normally wouldn't even hire if it wasn't for central gov pressuring them to take on when there's frankly more qualified Han laborers without language barrier. When ~40% of PRC lives on disposable income of 1000rmb per month, these Uyghurs are being paid multiple that. Like even entire XJ cotton smear campaign, where Zenz asserts workers were being screwed (because capitalism) when their take home still ened up being 2-4x local per capita gdp (Awat region).
For family planning, go read up on PRC "family planning policy", i.e. the formal name, not 1/2/3 child policy. Look at how minorities were exempt and then not under new minority policy (under Pan Yue)... TLDR is fusion (after US melting pot assimilationism) model where minorities get treated the same as Han (read: sinicization). Previous policy based on soviet oblast model aka multiculturalism. Which after decades, failed to end seccessionism (including HK). So now everyone gets to be equal with Han, though of course in practice not equitable.
Final final question:
Are you Chinese yourself? If so, have you visited any of these regions (Xinjiang or Tibet)? Do you prefer living China or would you prefer somewhere else?
I’m also curious what things you follow for information usually since it is probably different from mine (like news websites or YouTube channels or whatever).
