China has expanded its network of detention centres for its Uighur minority despite insisting the "re-education" system was being scaled back, a new report says.
The Australian Strategic Policy Institute says there are 380 suspected facilities in the Xinjiang region - some 40% more than previous estimates.
China says its aim is to tackle poverty and religious extremism in Xinjiang.
But the US has likened the centres to concentration camps.
