Uyghurs are the native residents of East Turkestan and many of them have vanished; estimates fluctuate between 800,000 and a few millions detained in a vast network of compounds, which the Chinese government calls reeducation centers, or centers for vocational training, while human rights activists around the world call them China’s Concentration Camps.
