Since 2017, the CCP under Jinping has operated a network of [[concentration camp]]s in the Xinjiang autonomous region as part of a [[Uyghur Genocide|campaign of persecution against Uyghur Muslims]]. Between 2017 and 2021 operations were led by [[Chen Quanguo]], a CCP Politburo member and committee secretary who led the region's party committee and government. The camps are reportedly operated outside the Chinese legal system; many Uyghurs have reportedly been interned without trial and no charges have been levied against them (held in administrative detention). Local authorities are reportedly holding hundreds of thousands of Uyghurs in these camps as well as members of other ethnic minority groups in China, for the stated purpose of countering extremism and [[terrorism]] and promoting social integration.
