The Xinjiang papers are a collection of more than 400 pages of internal Chinese government documents describing the government policy regarding Uyghur Muslims in the Xinjiang region.[1][2] In November 2019, journalists Austin Ramzy and Chris Buckley at The New York Times broke the story that characterized the documents as "one of the most significant leaks of government papers from inside China's ruling Communist Party in decades."[1] According to The New York Times, the documents were leaked by a source inside the Chinese Communist Party and include a breakdown of how China created and organized the Xinjiang internment camps.[1]
In response to the Xinjiang papers' publication, the Chinese government claimed the documents were "sheer, pure fabrication".[3] The leak has led to increased scrutiny and criticism of China's internment camps in Xinjiang.[4][5]
