As to the other accusations about Xinjiang, that’s a more complicated discussion. I don’t think anybody is claiming that nothing dodgy was happening at all there, there was clearly some pretty heavy handed policing. Some people say it was justified to fight extremism; I don’t agree with that, but I also think that the Western media’s portrayal of it has been so cynical and exaggerated as to basically not resemble the truth at all.
Well I appreciate the good faith there.
