quote:

His monograph, Terror Capitalism: Uyghur Dispossession and Masculinity in a Chinese City (Duke University Press, 2021), examines emerging forms of media, infrastructure, economics and politics in the Uyghur homeland in Chinese Central Asia (Ch: Xinjiang). The book, which is based on two years of ethnographic fieldwork among Uyghur and Han internal male migrants, argues that Chinese authorities and technologists have made Uyghurs the object of what it names “terror capitalism.” It shows that this emergent form of internal colonialism and capitalist frontier-making utilizes a post-9/11 discourse of terrorism, what he shows produces a novel sequence of racialization, to justify state investment in a wide array of policing and social engineering systems.

Can't believe the Chinese would do Terror Capitalism. That sounds so much more evil than the capitalism we all know and love

No it isn't. 新疆 "Xinjiang", short for 西域新疆 meaning "Western Regions New Frontier", was the name given to it by the Qing dynasty in the 18th century (and happens to predate the name "East Turkestan"). The ROC kept the name, calling it "Xinjiang Province" and the PRC government officially renamed it 新疆维吾尔自治区 "Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region" when they took over.

Call it East Turkestan or Uyghuristan if you'd like, but the name Xinjiang isn't some communist plot to keep the Uyghurs down

I've seen people argue this and it's always incredibly frustrating because it's like there's a few minor mistakes and a few kinda legitimate criticisms and people act like this means you can ignore the main thesis of "the US deliberately terrorized civilians to force them into concentration camps"

If the supposed precedent for this projection happened in 1975, and Three Gorges completed construction 28 years later, assuming it's also going to apply to the Three Gorges is sort of like assuming that Russia is going to have another famine Any Day Now because the Holodomor definitely happened.

I'm guessing it's because they were conscripts because the US military sure as poo poo didn't stop massacreing civilians
