And we thought we had problems

Presently reading a rather depressing article in the latest number of the NYRB about the large numbers of re-education camps which have been built in Xinjiang, a central Asian province of China, originally colonised by the Qings in a relatively benign way in the 18th century.

Camps which appear to hold more than half a million Uighurs and others. Nearly all adhering to a benign variety of Islam and clearly regarded by the (Han) Chinese as a threat.

Ask your search engine for 'shawn zhang uighurs' or try reference 1. Lots of information about this in obscure parts of the public domain, not least on Google Earth.
