    The biggest problem is the number likely being exaggerated.

    The real amount of Uyghurs in concentration camps is completely unknown but guestimated around 30.000 to 100.000.

    The 1 million number is by a single source called Radio Free Asia which does not offer any evidence.

    The American way to spread propaganda is to take something that is true, and then heavily exaggerate it without providing evidence for the most extreme claims.

      It’s likely to be higher than that. Even the proportion of imprisoned Black people in America is higher than that.
