There is no access for journalists so far. The last journalist I saw that set foot in the Uighur region was Emily Feng from the Financial Times.
I have spoken with her a number of times. She is of Chinese ethnic origin and has a little bit more leverage to talk with the officials, but for western journalists, I don't think so.
The Globe and Mail representative in Beijing is Nathan VanderKlippe, and I had an exchange with him. It is tough. So far, there are no western journalists who have set foot there.
