Internal documents from the Kunes county justice system from 2017 and 2018, provided to the BBC by Adrian Zenz, a leading expert on China's policies in Xinjiang, detail planning and spending for "transformation through education" of "key groups" - a common euphemism in China for the indoctrination of the Uighurs. In one Kunes document, the "education" process is described as "washing brains, cleansing hearts, strengthening righteousness and eliminating evil".

These have been debunked over and over again, so much so that reddit isn't even buying it anymore. Their source(s) are Zenz, an anti-semitic, anti-abortion, far-right christian fundamentalist, who doesn't speak mandarin, and works for the US state department.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

BBC gets caught doctoring an image from a vlogger in China to make it look depressing, then quietly reverts their change after getting caught.

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
