Chinese Government admits Encarceration & Forced Labour of 7,8 Million Uyghurs

Chinese staat: Bijna 8 miljoen Oeigoeren door China in kampen opgesloten van 2014 tot 2019

The State Council Information Office of the People’s Republic of China on September 17, 2020 published a White Paper with the title ‘Employment and Labor Rights in Xinjiang’.

Compilation of the news of Thursday night, Sept. 17, 2020: Uyghurs in Concentration Camps and under Forced Labour in China

It proves the fact, as known by human rights advocates for quite a while, that the Chinese government has jailed millions of Uyghurs in concentration camps and abused for forced labour since 2014. We estimated 3-9 millions might be jailed. Now China stated:

From 2014-2019 EACH YEAR 1,29 million of Uyghurs have been detained and/or were placed into forced labour (=7,8 million, 2020 still missing). The earlier figure of “about 1 million Uyghurs” was not correct anyway because about HALF A MILLION OF UYGHUR CHILDREN also encarcerated, were never added, unfortunately, while also, and especially, childrens lives do matter!

Adrian Zenz:

“In sum, the new White Paper gives no conclusive insight on internment camp detainee numbers, but confirms that there are several millions in different forms of coercive labor in Xinjiang.

THREAD: My comments on Xinjiang’s first-ever effort to counter allegations of forced labor, through a White Paper. Has some interesting new figures.

Keys to getting the most out of it (and avoiding false readings): 1. context, 2. read between lines /1″
