What exactly is the situation of the Uyghur in China's Xinjiang since 2014 up until now? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

My question aims to know what kind of procedures did the Chinese government (allegedly) take since 2014 in Xinjiang, and why to begin with. And what can we know about the region in the current time, like can a random tourist go and see with their own eyes the truth, and maybe film it ?

There are Youtube videos and a Wikipedia page documenting human rights infringements, while China and the Marxist forums deny anything harmful. Now that almost nobody is bringing it up, I want to know what was legitimately documented. Investigating the origins and later developments of the case on my own would be so hard.

everyone else here has given detailed and comprehensive answers with multiple sources, and here you are just posting unsubstantiated vibes that only sound true to people who saw that spongebob in china video when they were in middle school and based all their opinions about the country on that
