If it's not real, China can open up the region to outsiders, and let workers communicate freely without monitors present or spyware on their phones.

China has opened up the region to outsiders plenty of people have visited it including western news agencies. Here's one example. You're just regurgitating propaganda your regime is feeding you, there is no evidence for it. Meanwhile, we have lots of concrete evidence for precisely the sorts of atrocities US accuses China of happening in US. Maybe focus on what's happening in your own country.

And it’s seen in the fear that was ever-present, just below the surface, on two rare trips to Xinjiang I made for The Associated Press, one on a state-guided tour for the foreign press.

A bike seller’s eyes widened in alarm when he learned I was a foreigner. He picked up his phone and began dialing the police.
