@TLNewmanMTL That Uyghur slave labor story is just bull shit made up by US neocons. Millions of foreign visitors visted Xinjiang and they found nothing. Best Spy satellites found nada, zip, x.com/AliFeizi/statu…

A Canadian’s Disappointment: What I Actually Saw on the Ground in Xinjiang vs. What Ottawa Claims As a Canadian, I have always taken pride in my country’s commitment to human rights, due diligence, and evidence-based foreign policy. We are a nation that prides itself on “peacekeeping,” not warmongering; on diplomacy, not hyperbole. That is why I find myself profoundly disappointed—not just as a Canadian, but as a citizen of a country that claims to value truth—when I listen to the Parliamentary Questions coming out of Ottawa regarding Xinjiang. The language used in is alarming. Terms like "concentration camps" are thrown around with a casual certainty that bears no resemblance to the reality I have witnessed with my own eyes. Having made three trips to the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in the last nine months, I have seen a reality that is diametrically opposed to the narrative being pushed by our Members of Parliament. I am not a journalist embedded with a government delegation; I am a Canadian who traveled independently. I went expecting to verify the headlines we see in Canadian media. Instead, what I found was a region vibrant with culture, actively preserved and proudly showcased. Here is what I observed on the ground, and why I believe Ottawa’s rhetoric is not only wrong but dangerously disconnected from the facts. The Cultural Reality I Witnessed During my three trips, I spent time in Kashgar, Urumqi, Tashkurgan and the surrounding areas. The narrative I was sold in Canada was one of cultural erasure. The reality I experienced was the exact opposite. 1. The Old City of Kashgar One of the most striking examples of cultural preservation is the Old City of Kashgar. Canadian politicians describe a region being "flattened" or "assimilated." Yet, I walked through the labyrinthine alleyways of this ancient Uygur city, which has been meticulously preserved as a historical site. The local government didn’t tear it down; they invested in upgrading the infrastructure, running water, natural gas lines, and earthquake proofing, while maintaining the traditional Uygur architecture, wooden pillars, and intricate brickwork. In the evenings, I watched in the alleyways while children ran through streets paved with traditional kuzi bricks. This wasn’t a ghost town; it was a living, breathing historical center. 2. The Grand Bazaar and Livelihoods The Id Kah Bazaar in Kashgar is not only open; it is thriving. I saw Uygur artisans selling hand-engraved copperware, traditional atlas silk, and locally grown dried fruits. Far from being forced into labor, I spoke with shop owners who explained that tourism encouraged by the government’s infrastructure investments had allowed them to expand their family businesses. If the goal were cultural genocide, as some Canadian MPs allege, why would the state invest billions into preserving the mihrabs in mosques, restoring the Id Kah Mosque (one of the largest in China), and promoting Uygur cuisine and music festivals? It simply doesn’t add up. 3. Videos from the Ground I am sharing some videos in my posts to show the reality. In one clip, you can see Uygur dance another a traditional wedding I went too. The Disconnect in Ottawa As a Canadian, this embarrasses me. We claim to be a nation that stands for truth and reconciliation. Yet, when given the opportunity to send independent observers or journalists to verify facts, our government often chooses to boycott or criticize the very invitation for transparency. If our Parliament is going to make accusations as severe as "genocide" and "concentration camps," the onus is on them to provide evidence. My three trips over the last nine months provided evidence of the opposite: a region where Uygur culture is not only preserved but celebrated, and where the so-called "camps" are actually vocational training centres, facilities I drove by I that looked into them focused on giving people skills in Mandarin and industrial skills. #Xinjiang

Israel’s defense minister just said it will occupy Southern Lebanon and prevent 600,000 people from returning home. Even more horrifying he says Israel will demolish their homes just like they did in Gaza. This is blatant colonialism & land theft & it is being funded by the US.

It’s important to understand that the pressure on Israel has never been greater. The US is losing everything it worked decades for all for Israel — allies, bases, reputation, intelligence, decades gone in smoke. That’s how much Israel has cost the US: it’s killing the empire.

Many Americans believe that the war in Iran harmed the Chinese. They are deeply mistaken. Just days ago, the Chinese bought all the Iranian oil that was at sea, more than 1.4 million barrels. The total estimated volume is around 35-42 million barrels of Iranian oil shipped to China in the last 30 days. There are no signs that Iran has stopped exporting to China. Worse still, it is the Chinese who will rebuild Iran, increasing their influence and securing long-term energy and mineral supplies. Chinese weapons and radars destroyed in Iran? None ever existed. The last confirmed purchase of Chinese weaponry by Iran was more than 20 years ago. Recently, we saw rumors about Chinese radars and air defenses , just like the Russian ones, that never actually were confirmed. On top of all that, the Chinese now know far more about American war tactics, formations, and doctrine. No, there was no benefit in this war, only moral, economic, political, and military strategical losses. As I said before, decades of work by successive American administrations were thrown in the trash over a situation that was very close to a diplomatic solution.

China accounts for 17% of the world's population. But China accounts for only 13% of global goods exports. The US accounts for 4% of the world's population. Yet, the US accounts for a whopping 14% of global service exports. Tell me, who's producing something at “overcapacity”?

@pati_marins64 china lost influence in the gulf. The US & Israel decimated Iran. How do u come to such conclusions? There r even US soldiers on the ground in Iran & the Americans dictate what gets bombed next. Also, chinese weapons were shown to be junk. I know u hate the US, but facts matter.

It had been a while since I read something so foolish. The Chinese are happier than ever. They are carefully observing, photographing, and documenting every doctrine and vulnerability of the American navy and air force. They are laughing at the depletion of interceptor stocks that will take 5 to 7 years to replenish, not to mention the guided munitions that will take several more years to replace. They are laughing at America’s impotence in protecting its bases and its allies. But more than that, they are paying close attention to the loss of more than $1 billion just in aircraft. There is no one happier today than the Chinese strategists who are watching from the front row as the false American umbrella, sold at a premium price for decades to several countries, is being exposed. Based on what we have seen in the Gulf and knowing the number of batteries on both sides, I dare say that the air defenses of Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan would be exhausted in 48 hours in the event of a Chinese attack. And there is nothing that can be done about it in the short term. It is time for everyone to adjust diplomatically and stop growling while relying on American dentures, because Trump and Netanyahu have exposed the vulnerabilities of this model and thrown away decades of work.

China is eager to present itself as an alternative to Western partners, but in crisis situations, China is nowhere to be found: "As energy stress spreads across Southeast Asia, governments across the region are asking China to deliver on its pledges of closer energy ​security cooperation by freeing up now-banned exports of fertiliser and fuel. But so far China has offered only vague statements and has yet to even publicly acknowledge the export bans as it focuses on insulating its own economy from the war in Iran." (Reuters) Not expecting this to change anytime soon. 1/2

@MeAnnSel Don't you think the West has the best spy satellites that can capture images of any movement of slaves if it's really that prevalent ? They know all the ammo dumps in Iran, but know nothing about locations of slaves in Xinjiang ?🤡 So far they found nothing.

Makes sense that they would put the slave labor on full display for all to see if they were doing that rather than hiding it. We know it would not be hidden because China is completely transparent about everything they do.

@NorthrnPrspectv That Uyghur slave labor story is just bull shit. Millions of foreign visitors have been to Xinjiang and they found nothing. Go there if you still insist there are slave labor. China has visa free entry for most Western countries now. x.com/AliFeizi/statu…

🚨CAR-NEY CRASH🚨 We are now witnessing a car crash in slow motion as Mark Carney has publicly backed Michael Ma, and refused to directly say there is forced labour in China. But this isn't new. Previously, Mark Carney refused to acknowledge the Uyghur genocide. Not good.
