The Trump administration's "zero-tolerance" immigration policy, which detains parents and led to the separation of 2,000 children, has been controversial and lead to some changes. But in China, police have been interning hundreds of thousands of adults for offenses like growing a beard or legally traveling overseas, or sometimes no offense at all. There are so many children without parents that orphanages have become overcrowded and children have been moved away to other centers, where their parents may have difficulty finding them. It's difficult to estimate how many people have been detained, but satellite imagery shows a huge boom in detention center construction in the last few years with one center potentially holding 10,000 people. The Trump administration's "zero-tolerance" border policy, which initially led to the separation of about 2,300 children from their parents who were detained for crossing the US border illegally, has sparked widespread controversy and outrage. But an ocean away, China has quietly been hauling off hundreds of thousands of its own citizens with little reason or access to recourse, breaking up thousands of families in the process.See the rest of the story at Business InsiderNOW WATCH: Why the North Korea summit mattered even if it was 'mostly a photo op'See Also:Conservative media insist the 'cages' used to detain migrant children are simply 'fences'China fires back at Trump with tariffs on US goods, says it's time to end 'outdated and regressive behavior'Trump is slapping tariffs on $50 billion worth of Chinese goods — here's the full list of products that will get hitSEE ALSO: China is secretly imprisoning close to 1 million people — but they've left 2 big pieces of evidence behind
