  1. The Chinese government relies on dancing ethnic minorities to project normalcy. Last year, it brought dancing #Uyghurs to #Japan.

    For @mekongreview.com, my latest unpacks the propaganda of '#Xinjiang Week' mekongreview.com/xinjiang-week/ #China

  2. What an argument. #China, which produces solar panels partly through exploitation of #Uyghurs and their homeland's natural resources, can somehow support the #green transition in a region where #Indonesia is exploiting #Papuans and their resources.

    Another way to put this - #Chinese cheap panels, produced via colonial exploitation, and help Indonesia further its colonial exploitation in #WestPapua

    How is this desirable in any way?

  3. #TNI #TransnationalInstitute is a group that mostly releases great reports, analysis, etc, on #techgiants, #capitalism #resourcecolonialism #labor etc

    But when it comes to #China, they'll somehow willingly publish pro-CCP propaganda-lite, factually dubious BS like this, romanticizing the #Mao era, regurgitating South-South solidarity talk points & of course, ignoring the #CCP's glaring similarities to Israel in its treatment of #Uyghurs #Tibetans & #HongKongers

  4. I meet, in Japan, many people who care about #Ukraine but not #palestine.

    Among too many Asian so-called "leftists," those are care about #Gaza but not Ukraine.

    And, sadly, people everyone who care about either of those situations, but don't care about #Papuans #Uyghurs #Tibetans #Kashmiris or others facing oppression in Asia.

  5. The Collective of Agrarian Scholar-Activists from the South (#CASAS) & the #Europe-based Transnational Institute (TNI) are holding a conference in #China that, among others things, has "#Colonial/#extractive #capitalism across land/labour" & "#feminist approaches" on the agenda.

    Will #Tibet & #Xinjiang #Uyghurs, or #Chinese feminists, be discussed at all?

    Disappointed, especially, in #TNI, whose mission is to built a" just, democratic & sustainable planet."
