The sources provided by our wormy:

it's in Chinese.

every province in China has a local government, so this is the local government of xinjiang.

it's very similar to having a state government in the US.

sorry, the articles only a few paragraphs along, try to read it a little more carefully.

or look for the older source that directly links to the protectorate, I have a lot of sources to provide.

you want the 2 million estimates?

here's one:

Xinjiang High people's protectorate:

yes, of course.

the kidnappings and detentions are common knowledge in China and at this point affect nearly every part of the xinjiang population.

there's a pretty good report by the economist about the culture of fear, they interview uyghur exiles and family members of detainees:

When talking about the Uighur issue always point out that the US government has spent tens of millions of dollars to radicalize them to terrorist acts. There was a time 2 decades ago where you'd read stories about how some school children died in mass stabbings in "western China" and that is now a thing of the past. At some point China had a moral obligation to take some kind of action to stop these things and they did. Did they set up an investigative branch of their law enforcement to entrap thousands of them in fake plots to "catch" them red handed and then put them away in hardcore prisons for life or deport them to black torture sites around the world like the USA did? No, instead they targeted individuals with a high likelihood for developing extremist beliefs and got them into programs to de-escalate their actions before they got out of hand. Is it perfect? No. In my book China's method is much more preferable to the west's racist torment of Muslims.
