Dear MEL Topic Readers,

Vocational trainees find good jobs

The Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region is an autonomous region in Northwestern China which covers one-sixth of China’s land. Despite its vast size, only about 10% of the land area is suitable for human habitation. As it borders Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Russia and India, it is an ethnically diverse region, having races of Uyghur, Mongos, Kazakhs, Tibetans, Hui, Tajiks, Kyrgyz, Russians, and Han.

Xinjiang used to have the historical Silk Road that ran through the territory. In recent years, it is replaced by highspeed railways and motorways, that brought in capital investment and Han migrants, who now represent over 40% of the region’s population and control the region’s governance, security, and businesses.

According to the United Nations, there are numbers of internment camps in the region to reeducate minority peoples. It is estimated that there are over one million people, mainly Uyghurs, are detained in those camps.

However, according to China Daily, those facilities are not detention centers but vocational education centers and those who are educated and trained there have started to play a positive role in the society. Also, those facilities play a key role to free people from extremism and terrorism and maintain peace and order in the region and the country.

Enjoy reading the other side of the story about Xinjian’s “education centers”.
