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

这位小哥这一波正面回怼，逻辑层层推进，句句直击要害，网友看完纷纷怒赞。。。蛙蛙，青鸟，煞笔和大殖子们，先把逻辑捋清楚。伊朗是神权国家，所以美国就可以打？ “人权大于主权”？这种充满双标和伪善的鬼话，也就你们自己当真。。。别把西方霸权包装成普世价值，更别拿这套来教育别人。说白了，这种逻辑就是又蠢又坏。。。滚粗。。。
