I have learned the number of people who are receiving de-extremism education at vocational training centers in Xinjiang. I am not authorized to disclose this figure. All I can say is that it is much fewer than “1 million or so” speculated by the outside world.

What I find truly remarkable: that Xinjiang’s governor supposedly does not know the number of people in these training camps, but Global Times reporter Hu Xijin said a while ago he was told the figures, but XJ won’t disclose it because it would lead to misuse by Western media https://t.co/2gqRVdXMtu
