I appreciate those out there protesting at great risk to their lives however i think the nation needs to grind this economy to a dead stop. It's something everyone can do safely. No spending on ANYTHING but absolute necessities. I understand some shut ins can not do this but very many of us can.

This is really a sad contradiction for us who work on human rights issues in China: as governments commit to countering CCP influence within their borders (a welcome step), they are concurrently adopting measures that make life harder for those who fled the CCP’s persecution.

Guan Heng’s citizen journalist reporting helped confirm remote satelite documenting of the gulag in Xinjiang. It supported reports by Congress and UN. Guan Heng is a legal asylum seeker with a work card and a scheduled hearing. ICE is out of control.

Today, U.S. District Judge Jia M. Cobb ordered a halt to the president’s unlawful deployment of National Guard troops to D.C. This ruling provides an important check on presidential power and makes it clear that when we defend D.C., we defend democracy. cnn.it/483j8VW

Even if they backed off when they were duly warned by the UK govt. But how many such horror cases of selfcensorship by universities go undetected, out of fear?

To be mischievous, here and there I might say, “In the Sinocentric geographical conventions which the Qing court for some purposes adopted, former Ming China was ‘inner,’ and non-Chinese parts recently conquered by the Qing were ‘outer’”

The problem with “inland” is that it already means something else in English: it refers to distance from the sea-the exact opposite of neidi with regard to Xinjiang. Some Chinese writers (especially official sources) translate 内地 as “inland” but they are making a mistake.

For Qing and before, “China” or Sinitic parts of the Qing, vs. Inner Asia or Central Asia. Xinjiang is geographically central (Inner) Asia. Geographical China is eastern Eurasia — a term a lot of middle period historians use to avoid confusion of “China.” Today, “eastern parts of the PRC”

Princeton U P is making the effort to stay engaged, to promote academic exchanges and even to give Chinese authors a platform to publish in English in a respected university press. They do so courageously, at a time when Trump is attacking academe precisely for China exchanges!

PUP is not the first, of course--as the familiarity of the stereotypical comments and images attest. We've seen this Potemkin dog and pony show before. But what saddens me is how PRC just betrayed Princeton U Press, right after giving it an award!

So the Princeton U Press delegation was tricked into helping in the on-going PRC efforts to avoid international condemnation for its repression of Uyghur identity and crimes against humanity (mass internments) from 2017.

Henry's comments set into this propaganda package of course seems to further the CCP goal of normalizing its policies in Xinjiang. But things there are not normal. Intellectuals like Rahile Dawut are still in prison for no reason, as are 100s of thousands of political prisoners.
