    The decades-long occupation pretty much never works and just engenders more revolution, so I wouldn’t recommend that route.

    also, the “violent religious reactionaries” is a bit of a leap from the sheer volume of detainees.

    I think the violent ones should be dealt with much differently than the non-violent activists, but they are apparently treated the same.

        absolute minimum is around half a million detainee in total (ccp numbers until 2019), and most outside estimates place the number closer to 1-2 million uyghur detainees.

        Bear in mind that this is not some static equation, mass detainment started almost 10 years ago at this point and has been occurring for a decade. with detainment ongoing and the CCP long having stopped sharing specific information, it’s going to be hard to get specific numbers past 2019(the half a million number) for years to come.

          And where did you get those numbers?

          You were able to assert “absolute minimum is around half a million” though, so you must have been able to get those specific numbers somewhere. Where did you get them?

            you’ll have to look through the other comments for the sources, I’ve had to drop that same source like four times now.

      The decades-long occupatio

      Wdym occupation. Xinjiang (formerly Xiyu) has been incorporated territory of the PRC since its foundation, and part of China since (conservatively) the Tang dynasty.

      Ok, so the violent religious reactionaries needed to be dealt with, but with a more nuanced approach. What should it be? What would be faster and gentler, but also effective?
