Bachelet's visit has been criticised for failing to secure guarantees of unfettered access to Xinjiang, where a 2019 United Nations assessment said an estimated 1 million people have been detained.

Chinese state media later said Ms Bachelet praised China's track record on human rights on the call - something her office later appeared to deny in an emailed"clarification" of her"actual" remarks. Philip Alston, a law professor at New York University School of Law, said on a Friday webinar that despite the criticism Ms Bachelet's trip was"extremely important" because it put a spotlight on Xinjiang and demanded accountability from China.
