Description

How and why is China imprisoning millions of Uighurs in their western province of Xinjiang? BuzzFeed News journalists Megha Rajagopalan and Alison Killing join the podcast to talk about how their reporting uncovered a vast network of secret internment camps in Xinjiang.  We discuss how they found the camps despite coverups from the CCP, what life is like for Uighurs and other ethnic minorities in those camps, and why China continues to commit human rights violations in Xinjiang at a massive scale.
