WHY ARE THE AUTHORITIES RELUCTANT TO LET WESTERN REPORTERS INTO XINJIANG? Your question has a very simple answer, @KenRoth. A few years ago, China DID allow western journalists into Xinjiang, and even right inside the vocational training camps. They found no corpses, no gas chambers, no industrial death machine designed for millions of people – yet you remember the reports they produced. The coverage was so twisted that it appeared as if they had actually HAD found the nightmarish genocidal “internment camps” they had dreamed up. It was utterly ridiculous. You probably remember – they had some footage of a dance class, and other activities, and framed it as part of a utterly fake “millions in concentration camps” "Uyghur genocide" narrative. . THE CRIME OF CRIMES Remember, genocide is the “crime of crimes” – the ultimate evil. Yet the truth is that the number of Uyghurs has grown in relation to the number of Han in straight numerical terms and in proportional terms. It would be easier to argue that the Uyghurs were "genociding" the Han. To push the lie, women were coached to tell fake stories that completely contradicted the stories they had earlier told. These were circulated on rotation by the BBC. These were so ridiculous that even Gene Bunin of the ferociously anti-China "Xinjiang Database" complained: "You cannot write a news story based on three eyewitness accounts, not all of whom are reliable ...The BBC should know better." Many media printed pictures of schools and municipal buildings mislabelled as concentration camps and all refused to print corrections. I could give you many examples. But look up a book called "Atrocity Fabrications" by A.B. Abrams. . HURTING ORDINARY CHINESE PEOPLE Worst of all (as even his own colleagues agreed) was the BBC’s ultra-harsh John Sudworth. His reports interpreted everything in China so negatively that it made Chinese people as a race and China as a community appear shockingly evil. When asked about the harm caused by this excessively negative reporting, Sudworth admitted it created problems. “Obviously there is a danger that that becomes shorthand not just for the Chinese Government and the Chinese system, but for the sort of place China is, and for its people in general, and I can really see the danger in this. "But in the end these are the stories that the Chinese government don’t want us to tell, and I can’t help but feel that as journalists we will always be drawn to those negatives.” He was unrepentant about the immense harm he had caused to innocent people. You're not very different, Ken. Look at your China team when you were at HRW. Mrs Crovitz. Mrs Kern. People with the interests of the Chinese people at heart? I don't think so. HRW still pushes the research of "Maya Wang". So, does she even exist, Ken? . WISE DECISION After that, the Xinjiang authorities (which are run by UYGHUR AND HAN PEOPLE TOGETHER, and that's been true for decades) made a wise decision. Honest, good-hearted people could visit Xinjiang, and more than 200 million a year took advantage of that, and have done ever since. But known demonizers who print outright lies, like the BBC and other western mainstream media, would not be welcome. . DIRTY MONEY Also unwelcome are people who pretend to play it straight but actually take underhand money from the CIA, the NED, George Soros units, and so on, to demonize the Chinese. The Chinese believe, wisely, that most people are good and honest, and that’s why Xinjiang is an extremely welcoming place, one of the most visited tourist spots on earth. But NOT to the BBC, nor any other people who are happy to take money to demonize a community who don't deserve it. And that’s how it should be. . DECADES IN THE MAKING One last thing. The west’s Uyghur scam has been decades in the making. By March 1992, there had been several terrorist incidents in Xinjiang, caused by foreign forces, in which many innocents had been killed. The Chairman of the Xinjiang Autonomous Region People's Government, at that time, was a man called Tomur Dawamat (not a Han Chinese name, but a Uyghur name). He issued a warning to his people, the people of Xinjiang. “Hostile forces, both at home and abroad, have stepped up their infiltration, subversion and sabotage,” he said. He was right.

When people compare the US and Chinese economies purely based on GDP numbers, as an economist I laugh a little. GDP has become the world’s favorite economic scoreboard because it is politically convenient. But the problem is that GDP often measures activity, not necessarily economic well-being, resilience, or productive reality. A country can have people drowning in debt, paying absurd healthcare costs, juggling three jobs, unable to buy homes, stressed about retirement, and still produce a gigantic GDP number. Congratulations. The spreadsheet is thriving while the population is exhausted. GDP also heavily rewards financialization and consumption. If money changes hands, GDP gets excited. It does not necessarily ask whether that activity improved long-term economic stability, industrial capability, or quality of life. This is why I keep saying that PRODUCTIVE CAPACITY MATTERS. America cannot manufacture everything at scale anymore. China can. Almost everything. From solar panels to drones, EV batteries to ports, textiles to robotics, industrial machinery to high-speed rail systems. That is economic power. Then there is the purchasing power reality people ignore while obsessing over nominal GDP rankings. Many Americans today are working multiple jobs just to survive rising rent, healthcare costs, education debt, and inflation. Many Chinese urban families maintain relatively comfortable lifestyles with one stable job, supported by modern infrastructure, public transportation, lower service costs, and a culture of savings rather than permanent debt consumption. Economists are supposed to analyze systems honestly, not emotionally. GDP is useful, but treating it like the ultimate measure of success is like judging someone’s health purely based on body weight. It tells you something. Just not enough. Real economic strength is about whether your society can produce, build, transport, innovate, scale, afford life, and maintain long-term stability without burning out its population in the process. That conversation is much more uncomfortable than posting GDP charts on social media, which is exactly why we should probably have it more often.

One of the many tragedies of this war is that before the war began the U.S. Intel Community, including CIA, was in agreement that Iran wasn't developing a nuclear weapon & that Iran would target U.S. bases in the region & shut down the Strait of Hormuz if they were attacked by Israel & the U.S. The IC also properly assessed that targeting the Iranian leadership would strengthen the regime and embolden the hardliners. Despite the professionalism & accuracy of the IC, the narrative & agenda spun by a foreign government- Israel, won the argument & forced us into this war. We need to understand exactly how this happened to ensure we are never put in this position again.

A man from Shaanxi suffered a sudden stroke on his way to Hubei to sell apples, leaving a truckload unattended. After the story spread, doctors and locals stepped in and sold all 4 tonnes in just 19 hours — a powerful act of kindness.

🚨 TUCKER x JEFFREY SACHS JUST EXPOSED THE REAL ORIGINS OF THE IRAN WAR 🚨 It’s NOT about nukes. It’s NOT about “evil Iran.” It’s 73 years of American empire revenge + Israel’s Greater Israel project. The official story is a LIE. Here’s the truth bomb they dropped: 👇 🧵 1/12 In 1953 Iran was a peaceful parliamentary DEMOCRACY that hadn’t invaded anyone in over a century. Their elected PM Mosaddegh said: “The oil under our ground is Iranian, not British.” CIA + MI6 overthrew him in a coup. Installed the Shah. Pure oil grab & regime change. Sachs: “Iran had the audacity to say the thing never to be said… Immediately the British Empire came to the new ascendant American Empire and said, ‘We’ve got to overthrow this guy.’”

Most Europeans and Americans have heard of Pearl Harbor, but far fewer know what happened four years earlier in Nanking (Nanjing), China, It was one of the worst atrocities of the 20th century. On December 13, 1937, Imperial Japanese troops captured the then Chinese capital, what followed over the next six weeks is known as the Nanking Massacre, sometimes also called “The Rape of Nanking.” Over 300,000 Chinese civilians and disarmed soldiers were brutally killed, for scale thats more than the combined death tolls of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Tens of thousands of women and little girls (some as young as 8, others very elderly) were systematically raped, Japanese soldiers even held contests to see who could rape the most victims. Entire families were bayoneted, machine gunned, buried alive, or burned to death, soldiers used bound prisoners for bayonet practice. A third of the city was burned to the ground. A small group of Westerners, including an American missionary, a German businessman (who was a also a Nazi Party member), and doctors, created a “Safety Zone” that probanly saved an estimated 250,000 lives while the massacre raged around them. The world watched in real time as American and European newspapers ran front page stories, many diplomats also sent frantic cables as newsreels showed the horrific aftermath. After the war, many of Japan’s top generals were tried and some hanged, but many perpetrators, and even the royal family member who allegedly issued the “kill all captives” order, were never punished. Today the death toll is still debated in modern Japan, some politicians downplay or even deny it, which of course reopens old wounds with China and even Korea every few years. Why does this matter in 2025? Well, Because remembering Nanking isn’t about simply appointing balme, its about understand history and how it shapes modern policy and perceptions. If you only knew about Pearl Harbor from the Pacific War, I hope this informs your thinking on the subject, and most importantly the suffering of millions of Chinese cIvillians during WW2. Up to 20 million Chinese died in that catastrophic conflict, second only to the Soviets. It may also go some way to helping understand how Chinese / Japanese relations are colored by the past. As you now see, With very good reason.

When Niki Lauda delivered one of the most brutal and inspiring speeches in sports history.

First, they say "We'll suffocate #Russia with sanctions" but when oil and gas prices soar into the stratosphere, they suddenly become ardent defenders of free trade and supply stability. It seems the #G7's can give a couple of lessons how to flip-flop.

Lang Lang invited me to his concert in Paris 🤯🎹 After the crazy Piano Battle at Gare de Lyon, we met again on stage at Steinway Paris to play Icarus by @tonyann_ , this time together on one piano, four hands. @lang_lang has been my biggest inspiration since I was a child.

Libya negotiated. Let's be precise about what happened to Libya. In 2003, Muammar Gaddafi made a strategic decision to abandon his weapons programs, open his country to international inspectors, and normalize relations with the West. He paid reparations for Lockerbie. He dismantled his nuclear program. He cooperated with Western intelligence against Al-Qaeda. He did everything that was asked of him. He negotiated. He complied. He normalized. In 2011, NATO bombed Libya for seven months. His own military turned against him with Western backing. He was captured in a drainage pipe. A mob sodomized him with a bayonet while Western officials watched via satellite feed. Hillary Clinton laughed about it on camera. "We came, we saw, he died." The man who gave up his deterrent in exchange for promises of security and normalization died in a drainage pipe while the people who made him those promises laughed at the footage of him being sodomized with a bayonet. And Libya, which had the highest GDP per capita in Africa, free healthcare, free education, housing subsidies, and a functioning welfare state, became a failed state with open slave markets within three years. This is what negotiated security guarantees look like. This is the documented outcome. Not a fringe case. Not a misunderstanding. The most complete, unambiguous illustration possible of what your weapons are worth the moment you give them up. The lesson is not complicated. The only deterrent is a deterrent you still possess. The moment you negotiate it away, you have nothing left to negotiate with.
