Rather than have the same sort of About Us messaging take up real estate in each newsletter, I thought it would be good to shift the explanatory burden to a short essay that covers a few core ideas, both to explain the point of the project and to provide means by which it can ultimately be measured and judged.
It would be interesting to get your take on current news coverage of purported human rights violations/genocide/imprisonment of Uighurs in concentration camps as reported by much of US media.
So far all that has been presented to corroborate these alleged transgressions are anecdotes from dissidents, grainy images many of which are schools/factories, and poorly translated documents. They all seem to come from a single source - Adrian Zenz, self proclaimed China scholar who doesnt speak Chinese but has been propped up by conservative think tanks as an expert on Xinjiang.
Furthermore the Uighur population has more than doubled over last 30-40yrs which does not align with the genocide narrative.
