The takeaway quote from your link:

"Authorities in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in Northwest China relocated 461,000 poverty-ridden residents to work in other parts of the region during the first quarter of the year, in what a Chinese expert on Friday said was a bid to improve social stability and alleviate poverty."

How kind of the government to forcibly separate families and relocate Uighurs to camps where there culture is eradicated, all in the name of poverty alleviation.

Here is another quote, with a link to a longer, more detailed article from a less-biased source (the Global Times is run by the Chinese Communist Party):

"Asked to comment on the camps, China’s Foreign Ministry said it “had not heard” of the situation."

Sure the global times is biased and run by the CCP, but linking it shows that the CPP does not deny such camps.

It denies them in kind, in intent, and in scope and scale.

“Six million Jews have been relocated by the German government for the purpose of poverty reduction.”

And what makes you think they're forcibly separating families? Did you literally just make that up out of thin air?

“At first, Bekali did not want the AP to publish his account for fear that his sister and mother in China would be detained and sent to re-education.

But on March 10, back in China, the police took his sister, Adila Bekali. A week later, on March 19, they took his mother, Amina Sadik. And on April 24, his father, Ebrayem.“

He must have read about the ICE doing that in the US and conflated the two :/.
