Xinjiang papers


Xinjiang papers is a term coined by media and refers to more than 400 pages of internal Chinese documents showing "an unprecedented inside look" at the crackdown on Uyghur Muslims in the Xinjiang region. In November 2019, The New York Times piece that broke the story characterized the documents as "one of the most significant leaks of government papers from inside China’s ruling Communist Party in decades." The documents were leaked to NYT by a source inside the Chinese Communist Party which includes a breakdown of how China created and organized re-education camps in Xinjiang, which were created in 2017.
