Xinjiang papers

Xinjiang papers is a term that was coined by the media to refer to more than 400 pages of internal Chinese government documents which give their readers "an unprecedented inside look" at the crackdown on Uyghur Muslims in the Xinjiang region.[1][2] In November 2019, journalist Austin Ramzy and novelist Chris Buckley joined The New York Times to break the story that characterized the documents as "one of the most significant leaks of government papers from inside China’s ruling Communist Party in decades."[1] The documents were leaked 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.[1]
