From denial to pride: how China changed its language on Xinjiang's camps
From the article:
China’s state broadcaster CCTV last week offered a look inside Xinjiang’s controversial internment camps.
In the 15-minute segment journalists visit the Hotan City Vocational Skills Education and Training Centre where they teach students Mandarin, China’s various legal codes, and job-relevant skills, according to a city official, reciting almost verbatim a description previously given in Chinese state media.

The atheist leaders of China initially denied the very existence of these re-education camps, now they no longer deny that the goal is indoctrination. And the ideas to be eliminated are religious ideas and any sense of ethnic identity.
The goal is erasure of religion and ethnicity. That sounds like intolerance.
