The Chinese government and its embassies, including the Chinese embassy in the United Kingdom, insist that the camps are not prison camps, but rather educational in nature; and ambassadors have called reporting on the subject "fake news" and the documents "fabrications".

Among China's Arab and Muslim allies, there is little debating all of this. Many have seemingly vouchsafed either that the camps are not real or are justified in dealing with the "terror threat" in Xinjiang.



In Pakistan, China has sought to spy on Uighurs. Pakistan has also pointedly refused to condemn China's policies in Xinjiang, so has Saudi Arabia. Despite pressure from Uighur activists and domestic opposition politicians, Malaysia and Indonesia mull their options, having not yet decided whether to condemn or to condone.

And as ever, on western social media, a diverse crew seeks newer and more inventive ways to defend the actions of the Chinese state.

Even with all the evidence these leaks have brought forward, straightforward condemnation, or even a rest from disputing the realities of what so many see before their eyes, seem very far from possible.
