Ep 6 Xinjiang: The China problem

Listen on

Episode notes

China stands accused of committing crimes against humanity, and possibly even genocide, against the Uyghur population in Xinjiang. Yet Beijing compares its system of 're-education camps' to the West’s war on terror and says it's entitled to protect its citizens from domestic terrorism. This is the sharp end of the China problem; exhibit A of Xi Jinping's authoritarianism and the west's impotence to defend human rights within China's borders.
