BEIJING—The Chinese regime has appointed a new military commander in Xinjiang where authorities have locked up more than a million Uyghurs and members of other Muslim minorities in what the regime claims to be a “counter-terrorism” campaign.

Lt. Gen. Wang Haijiang will oversee a massive military presence in the northwestern region that borders on several unstable Central Asian states, along with Pakistan and Afghanistan, from which U.S. troops are withdrawing.
