Since 2017, the Chinese Communist Party has been committing a genocide in its far-western Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, traditionally known as East Turkistan. It has imprisoned more than one million of the region's Turkic ethnic minorities in what it calls re-education camps, an act that has been characterized as the largest incarceration of an ethno-religious minority since the Holocaust. It is taking the children of parents undergoing re-education and placing them in state-operated boarding schools, where they are re-educated in many of the same ways. It is forcibly and systematically sterilizing Turkic women, dramatically cutting birth rates. And it has transformed the entirety of Xinjiang into what has been aptly called an open-air prison, where Turkic people are constantly monitored by surveillance cameras and police patrols.
