Its a very weakly sourced state sponsored media article reporting on their state enemy. You have to be willfully credulous to believe their claims without further proof.

I saw a piece about the shadow police in germany lately. I am sure that the chinese foreign police exists.

I have no doubt, every nation has secret police. I simply doubt they are doing what the article suggests theyre doing. It seems to me the article is interested in explaining why there aren't many uyghur Muslims joining their narrative and why a lot of them are supportive of China and feel their culture is respected.
