@Callirhoe_ @JuloLaMayo Taiwan is for Chinese to settle, it’s none of your business.

@shangguanluan 房子是用来住的，不应该用来炒的。这点我觉得对任何国家长远来说都是有利的。靠炒作推高房价，尤其没有综合国力的加持，最后都是竹篮都是一场空。国内前十年房价年年翻番本身就是泡沫。

@jiaoxingmeiwai 我在国内的亲戚圈各式各样几十个人，真正996的就一个在华为的，换来的是上海两套房。其他人没有大富大贵的，但还没听说有过的水深火热的。你亲戚里面996的比例有多大？

@satounbd @s34028_s But I suspect that the reaction would be vastly different. If the whites complained, the Japanese would have felt utterly ashamed and mostly apologetic.

@George3ddy @whiteTony99 Indians aren’t leading tech companies, they are managing, more like glorified butlers because they are owned by the west.

@arealmermaid2 @Jerry_grey2002 They're not police. They're security guard for football match. Anybody familiar with China would easily tell from the uniform they wear.

@allysonhorn @abcnews Wow, back in Beijing, and this below is your first "report", smh. https://t.co/sfel3rf44N

1. @allysonhorn from 🇦🇺 State media, @abcnews, reports without irony on 🇨🇳 controlling its information space related to the recent disaster

Who does she cite?

The International Campaign for Tibet (ICT)

I'm typically not one to toot my own horn but I think I may have written the single best article on Xinjiang this past decade.

Never has writing an article taken me so much time: almost two months.

It involved, as amply documented on this platform, a six-week RV roadtrip through Xinjiang during which I posted so relentlessly that I suspect several of you muted me somewhere around day six, and are only reading this now because someone told you the ordeal was finally over 😅

More seriously, I did what unfortunately all too few writers do these days when writing about a topic: I genuinely went deep.

Not only did I travel almost everywhere in Xinjiang and spoke with hundreds of people in the process, but I also spent a further 10 days afterwards in Urumqi - the province's capital - to engage with the local intelligentsia (journalists, university professors, public servants both junior and senior, XPCC/Bingtuan executives, businessmen, etc.) to get as accurate a read on the place as I could.

Meanwhile, when back in Urumqi after our roadtrip, I placed my 2 daughters in a holiday camp with local Uyghur kids - learning as a result something no discussion with an adult could ever tell me: what life is actually like for Uyghur kids in today's China.

On top of all this, I read widely and voraciously. The academic historians - Brophy, Gladney, Rudelson. The UN reports. But also books like Li Juan's wonderful Winter Pasture, a Chinese writer's account of living through a winter with Kazakh nomads in the Altay region.

The end result is an 8,000-word article that, I hope you'll agree, does something no article on Xinjiang has done in a very long time: treats the place and its people with the depth they deserve.

Maybe uncharacteristic for me, I don't shy away from the uncomfortable parts - on either side. I write about the omnipresent police checkpoints and the institutional paranoia as candidly as I write about the breathtaking shallowness and lies of the Western discourse on the topic.

If you're looking for propaganda - whether pro or anti-China - you'll be disappointed. If you're looking for honesty and nuance, however, I think you'll like it.

Enjoy the read here: https://t.co/K39WByvjvG

@DanielGorman20 They ruined animal hospitals too. The one I've been using for decades for my pets was bought 3 years ago and started charging 2-3 time more.

@CarlZha carry a fork.

@felix375 I suspect some Chinese companies still willing to invest in India do it because of some kind of financial scheme to move money overseas.

@gonglei89 With property tax the gov basically is the biggest landlord who can kick you out as soon as you stop paying tax and you have to buy home insurance, pay for maintenance yourself. And if the house price goes up, you have to pay tax based on unrealized gain too.
