Some of the best, although plenty of others with detailed maps displaying the expansion of monitoring to hundreds of millions of cities and towns (metropolises and cities in our language) of XinJiang.
Some articles are free to read, as you can see below:

You can paste these into google and view the article and the comments, but it's really worth paying a subscription for, plus £1 for a four week trial is a bargain. The quality of articles is worth paying for. The comments section is generally above any other newspaper in the world too.
It seems that allowing Chinese entities to mega dump all university and microsoft collaborative facial recognition research data sources wasn't such a good idea after all, as the CCP are mentally deranged - I mean, you'd have to be to implement such features on your citizens:

I bet you think that the Western media has ignored the WHO's treatment of the Republic of China.Comment

Some useful labelling “Not Made in China” will be helpful.

Interestingly the US with a population of 300 million has 2 million in gulags whereas China has a population 3 times the size with almost half that number in gulags.
Statistically you are far less likely to end up in a gulag in China than you are in the US.
