In case anyone is curious, one of the largest numbers claimed by Adrian Zenz is "1.8 million" in the following article: https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/07/01/china-documents-uighur-...

> Since 2017, up to 1.8 million Uighurs, Kazaks, and other Turkic minority groups in the northwestern Chinese region of Xinjiang have been swept up in what is probably the largest incarceration of an ethnoreligious minority since the Holocaust.



Adding the right minority groups will give you however high number you need, but even he admits it’s not just Uighurs. And the result is still better than US incarceration ratios.

(Or course this about largest incarceration is bullshit too, but hey, he needs to be making money somehow, right?)
