I have read a Chinese blogger analysis that the US (the Anglo Saxon countries) went in extremely hard on the Xinjiang issue because Xinjiang is the starting point of the new Eurasia land route transportation. And this route is away from the container ship sea trade world order and doesn't go near any US military base and carriers. I can see this interpretation being true, since the Rohingya region is also a potential China BRI land route. The only BRI land route that I haven't heard any ethnic minority issue from the Anglo Saxon media is the China-Laos-Thailand railroad project. But this project is not done yet so it's possible there is "genocide" problem coming up soon.

Because they think its about creating an international network of genociding.

there's so much anti-china propaganda out there that suffuses the media it's nearly impossible to break through it without laying down months of ground work outlining new world order conspiracy sounding poo poo. spent half an afternoon trying to explain this poo poo to some friends and it's so depressing how "china bad" is just baked into every argument/evidence. so drat thankful for poo poo like radio war nerd and the gray zone and even c-spam or i think i would be even more depressed about this topic.

There isn’t a easy way out for Turkey at this point beyond devaluation to be honest, Erdogan already spent that cash essentially and Turkish reserves are in the red zone. Raising interest rates are rarely effective in the long term since they usually just stall the economy and construction. Honestly, I think a lot of it is just the hangover from a decade of bad loans. Granted, I could give my interpretation of modern Turkish history etc but i think there will be have to be a “flip flop” between the religious neoliberals and the secularists.

I think AkP may just be killed at the polls this time around. That said, it isn’t going to help the Lira and if CHP calls in the IMF, it is going to be a lost decade.

https://wokeglobaltimes.com/xinjiang has been a good source for me to get a handle on things and https://wokeglobaltimes.com/55a65cd2edac48a3869381242dc6467a is a specific address of adrian zenz in particular. The account's a gay dude working for a consulting shop in DC so obviously he's a CIA plant or whatever but he's also one of the few people I've found online who actually speaks and reads Chinese and can do amazing things like source primary documents or compare the Chinese government's claims at two different times or across multiple platforms in different languages. He also takes into account the different regions in Xinjiang, the different experiences of Uighers across those regions, and other mind blowing acts of basic investigation. the bar is set so low for China reporting it's disgusting.

it's amazing how many people will use the demographics of Urumchi as proof of anything. It was literally never a Uighur dominated city (not since they were nomads who spoke a Siberian turkish language, anyway). If it swells to 100 million Han and the population of Xinjiang province becomes 90% Han as a result, that says little of the situation in the traditional Uighur regions.

Saw this float through my social media feed: Gatestone Institute: China Grabbing Whitsun Reef: 'Sudetenland' in Slow Motion The headline making a reference to Munich and appeasement immediately set off my alarm bells, so I open it up and the author is no one else but ur-China-watcher Gordon Chang I decided to google "Gatestone Institute" since it was a think-tank that I'd never heard of before and even just the wikipedia is a doozy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gatestone_Institute quote:Gatestone Institute is a far-right think tank known for publishing anti-Muslim articles. It was founded in 2008 by Nina Rosenwald, who serves as its president. Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations and former national security advisor, John R. Bolton, was its chairman from 2013 to March 2018. Its current chairman is Amir Taheri.

Myanmar is not going to descent into chaos a la Syria. This is one thing a Theravada Buddhist country is different from countries outside of Asia. In fact the 2021 protest casualty count is pretty similar to the 2007 protest, which is about 10x less death than the 1988 crack down. The main difference between the 21 crack down and 07 crack down is you get a lot more videos coming out of the country. Its a shame that Aung San Suu Kyi is the same civilian government being stomped to the curb and she has not been able to make a different compromise with the army. I am not blaming her for the coup but I kind of wish she has better understanding of the Junta and some how cut a deal without the violence. She had to know the Army still control a lot of business sectors in the country and still had better hand of cards than her NLD party, after the election.

The deaths were described as the pivotal event in the Iranian Revolution that ended any "hope for compromise" between the protest movement and regime of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. no one thought the Irianian revolution would happen until it did. i would not underestimate the people of Myanmar so quickly

The difference between Iran and Myanmar is that during the Iranian revolution the military pretty much handed the power to the cleric. The number of death was very low in world standard of successful coups. And there was a few more killings before and after the coup. I remember there was a theater fire that killed a lot of people, and different factions were using it to point fingers to each other. Actually there is nothing alike between the Iranian revolution and the Myanmar coups, which repeated 3 times already. If you want to compare, compare Myanmar to the Thai coups.
