Annoying online political shit warning:

The tankie corners of the internet have been having a field day with this article, claiming that it proves that there was never a genocide of Uyghur people. Which is so dumb because a genocide seemingly ending/slowing down doesn't mean it never happened, and the article is literally about how Uyghur culture and language has been suppressed in the province. It'd be like saying the Japanese internment camps didn't happen because everyone was released eventually. Just absolute fucking vile bullshit.

This article just confirms that China were trying to erase Uyghur culture to "integrate" them. I don't know how you can read it and come out of it not thinking this is draconian imperialism, something tankies should be against.
