Starting in 2017, China carried out a sweeping crackdown in its northwest Xinjiang region under the banner of counterterrorism. It was a harsh campaign to forcibly assimilate the

The abuses drew international condemnation, including accusations of genocide and a sweeping US ban on some imports from Xinjiang.
