Uighur exiles urge Blinken to demand China close Xinjiang camps

GENEVA (Reuters) - The largest group representing exiled ethnic Uighurs has written
to U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken urging him to demand that Beijing close
its internment camps in the Xinjiang region in talks on Thursday.

Blinken should hammer this issue! Let's see.

Yeah because if he does the CCP will immediately close the camps and compensate the Uighur people otherwise the USA will errr, umm keep borrowing money from China.

Yes, yes, but do you condemn the sexual torture reported by Uyghur women in the BBC report, or are they not to be trusted?

How would it ever be political grandstanding to demand the release of tens of thousands of people detained for no good reason?

If France arrested millions of Muslim men, detained them for years, and prevented journalists from reporting on it or having access to the site, you'd be up in arms about whiteness.

And France suffered far more from Islamic terrorism than China.

Your biases are very exposed, Duchess.

Fiery Start to U.S.-China Talks Shows Acrimony Will Remain

(Bloomberg) -- The first face-to-face meeting between the U.S. and China since President Joe Biden took office was bound to be confrontational. The question now is whether the two sides can find a way to cooperate after unloading so many grievances in public.


whoa boy. Hot and heavy. and this I love:
“It’s not surprising for the Alaska meeting to start with a strong smell of gunpowder,”
said Zhu Feng, a professor of international relations at Nanjing University.

I agree.
The US and diplomacy have never been close allies, but the grandstanding this time is rather obviously not about achieving the release of minorities or the situation in Hong Kong.

However, the reaction by the Chinese delegation was dramatically pompous as well. Oh, they don’t like criticism!

All that being said, it looked like warning shots across each other’s bows.
Warning about what?

Zoom out.
The US (Biden himself) fired the same sort of warning shot at Russia.

The stance being in both cases: we mean business.

One wonders where the US’s eye is roaming to influence the distribution of resources.
Iran? Somewhere in the South China sea?

Indeed.

So what do you think is the US’s agenda in this?

When you are in the business of war which involves hundreds of for-profit corporations and vast sums of money, you need a forever supply of conflicts and wars. If there's a shortage, you create one.
