During a visit to Xinjiang, Chinese President Xi Jinping reiterated his commitment to Hardline Policies against the Uyghur population, vowing to maintain social stability and promote the Sinicization of Islam. Since 2017, China has detained 1.8 million Uyghurs and other Turkic minorities in concentration camps, leading to accusations of genocide and crimes against humanity. Uyghur advocates criticized Xi's remarks, stating that they indicated a continuation of repression. The visit is seen as a display of strength by Xi, asserting his policies, but also revealing weakness to international concerns.
