China increases security spending in Xinjiang

A US think tank report reveals a 213% increase in security-related construction spending in Xinjiang in 2017, linked to the operation of reeducation camps for Uyghurs. Despite a 94% rise in prison spending, formal prosecutions have stagnated, suggesting detentions without trial. China claims these are vocational training centers, but vocational spending decreased by 7% that year.
