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
Uyghur population, a mostly Muslim ethnic minority group native to Xinjiang. Scholars estimate that Chinese authorities detained more than 1 million Uyghurs in centres and re-education camps for periods ranging from weeks to years. The abuses drew international condemnation, including accusations of genocide and a sweeping US ban on some imports from Xinjiang.
