China has detained an estimated 1 million to 2 million Uighur Muslims in the region of Xinjiang, and millions more live one step away from detention under the watchful eye of the Chinese Communist Party.
Why it matters: It has been two years since the internment camps first came to light internationally, and a series of reports from Xinjiang have made vivid the scale of the abuses. Yet foreign governments and corporations are content to pretend it isn't happening.
"If right now, just about any other country in the world was found to be detaining over 1 million Muslims of a certain ethnicity, you can bet we’d be seeing an international outcry," says Sophie Richardson, china director for Human Rights Watch.
"Because it's China, which has enormous power in international institutions these days, it's hard to muster any response at all."
"There has been this almost childlike hope that as China gets wealthier and more secure it would change" and adapt to international norms, Richardson says. Instead, China is using its economic clout and influence at the UN to undermine those norms.AND THEN THERE'S THIS:

While China has its own motivations, wonder to what degree they see Uighur and other Muslim / non-Muslim women as a means of remedying China's sex gap resulting from its recently discontinued one-child policy causing tens of millions of excess males?
Short of China engaging in such actions, a large population of unmarried surplus men would be a source of instability as is the case in a number of countries with a significant sex gap.
That would in turn explain the following article below as well as similar articles involving China's bride hunting in South Asia.

Saudi Prince: "Sorry, not sorry."
China is one big open air prison anyway, because it is a Communist nation. And individual cannot even move to a new location without government permission - unless of course - wealthy and a member of privilege in the Communist party.
