First of all, I need to explain that I know a lot of information about Xinjiang re education camp and have watched the reports of BBC and New York Times. I haven't received brainwashing, which is often a misunderstanding of the Chinese people in other countries.
First of all, the same event, when you use a different perspective to explain it, will have a completely different impact.
The following news reports about many violent attacks in Xinjiang.All of these incidents happened before the construction of the education camp.

According to the preliminary determination of the police, the "12.15" case of Shufu County in Kashgar, Xinjiang is an organized and premeditated violent terrorist attack. Since August this year, a terrorist gang with 20 members has gradually formed, led by Aishan Simayi. The group has gathered for many times to watch violent and terrorist videos, publicize religious extremist ideas, manufacture explosive devices and guns, conduct trial explosions several times, and premeditate violent and terrorist activities.

At about 17:30 on November 16, 2013, nine thugs, including abraahiti, attacked the police station in Selibuya Town, Bachu county with swords and axes, resulting in the death of two policemen.
Besides these, there are hundreds more. It can be said that these violent terrorist attacks led to the destruction of local people's lives in Xinjiang.
I have to mention two major terrorist attacks. These two things have changed the whole Chinese view of Xinjiang.
1.July 5, 2009 serious violence in Urumqi
Urumqi is the capital of Xinjiang. It was a peaceful day. But many Uighurs began to march on the streets, and then began to kill people and make fire. Even the old people who took the bus to the park for a walk were not spared.
This is a photo recorded by passers-by with mobile phone. The mob did no difference to innocent civilians
The violence killed 197 people, 1721 people were injured. most of them Han. A large number of Han shops were robbed and cars burned down. I once watched a video that the western media never published: those violent people cut at the sight of people, blood flowed on the ground, and then the army came, and they still rushed forward, until the army fired in order to prevent the self-defense warning, they were shot to the ground.
I've experienced Tibetan riots, and I know the horror of religious fanatics losing their think.
I used to have a little bit of hope for them until it happened.
2.March 1, 2014: terrorist attack on Kunming Railway Station
The capital city, which is 4100 kilometers away by train, is a complex railway station where every civilian has been destroyed. The mob carries a pig killing knife. When he sees someone, he will cut it. (this is exactly the same way as the genocide in Rwanda)The terrorist attack killed 31 people and injured 141.
Kunming citizens are praying. The slogan means: don't cry in Kunming
Every Chinese is afraid. Because terrorism has gone out of Xinjiang. Even if they are far away, they will still happen. And all people are afraid of their actions, because they kill people indiscriminately and without reason at all. As a result, almost all citizens choose to support the government to take a stronger approach.
At the same time, through this incident, I have known the double standards of Western media.
On the left is the Kunming terrorist attack and on the right is the London terrorist attack on May 22, 2013.
Xinjiang people are flooded with terrorism. They have received training from Al Qaeda. Most terrorists are only finish the junior high school. They are easy to be incited and kill indiscriminately.
Western media ignored the problem. But it still exists, and if it is not solved, more people will die in the future. So China has set up a transformation camp.
The idea was put forward by the team of Chen Quanguo, a former governor of Tibet. There were frequent violent attacks in Tibet, but he managed it successfully.
The education camp has new and good facilities. They can play basketball and watch movies. In the BBC Documentary, we can see their national dance performances. The government provides them with job training and ideological education to prevent them from being affected by extremism again.
Even after visiting the education camp, many Islamic ambassadors expressed their support for China.
Only the West has been opposed.
I don't deny the problems in the re education camp. If you want to ask me if I have been mistreated, I think there will be, after all, the contradictions among ethnic groups have been intensified. But this is not officially allowed, and abusive managers will be severely punished. The Chinese government does not want to deepen the hatred among nations again. At the same time, these education camps cost a lot of taxpayer money and created a high-pressure atmosphere in Xinjiang. But it's all bitter. We need to swallow it. I don't know if these camps will work in the long run. I think Chinese government officials still need to improve their policies and attitudes and improve their relations with Uighurs. But like most Chinese, I still support the re education camp. When the whole region is in violence, only this measure of the government can protect my safety. I don't want to be cut to death when I go out to eat one day, which happened every day in Xinjiang.In addition, at least until August 2019, Xinjiang has not had a terrorist attack in 23 months.
I believe that security as a law-abiding citizen is more important than the human rights of terrorists.
