it's a nice video. Xinjiang is beautiful and his Mandarin is impressive, but I don't get the title.
The popular tourist spots and common light topics of conversation are exactly the China and Xinjiang they want you to see.
This is the Xinjiang they don't want you to see:
What do you propose as the proper way for China to deal with violent religious reactionaries? Maybe they should've focused more energy on a decades long occupation of Afghanistan that accomplished literally nothing except a vast amount of grifting.
The decades-long occupation pretty much never works and just engenders more revolution, so I wouldn't recommend that route.
also, the "violent religious reactionaries" is a bit of a leap from the sheer volume of detainees.
I think the violent ones should be dealt with much differently than the non-violent activists, but they are apparently treated the same.
Ok, so the violent religious reactionaries needed to be dealt with, but with a more nuanced approach. What should it be? What would be faster and gentler, but also effective?
