Resource of the Week One of the books that will be important in this series is my little autobiographical work, Unbeaten, which details my arrest, interrogation, and deportation from China in 2018.

This is not only a sin against Christians. It is also a sin against all non-Christians. For the government is brutally and ruthlessly threatening them and hindering them from coming to Jesus. There is no greater wickedness in the world than this. If this regime is one day overthrown by God, it will be for no other reason than God’s righteous punishment and revenge for this evil. For on earth, there has only ever been a thousand-year church. There has never been a thousand-year government. There is only eternal faith. There is no eternal power.” And here is today's (Oct 30) Pray for China profile, which was posted earlier today on X (@chinaadventures): Oct 30 - Pray for Turpan Prefecture in the deserts of Xinjiang Province in far west China, known both as China's hottest and lowest (-505 ft below sea level) region.

Xinjiang Province, China. Uyghur student, Nur, is able to 'pass' as Han Chinese, and exploits this as much as possible in a society where Uyghur people live under constant surveillance.Nur and her mother, Meryem, want to avoid being sent to one of the re-education prison camps, where it is thought a million people - mostly Uyghur - have been detained without trial. But then they are assigned a live-in Chinese 'relative' by the authorities - Auntie Wang Shu - who comes to stay in their apartment as part of a Family Week initiative to ensure lifestyle conformity: "Cook together, eat together, study together, travel together, sleep together!"But Wang Shu has other motives, which involve marrying her son to a Uyghur woman. And she has Nur in her sights as a prime candidate. Any missteps by Nur or Meryem could result in their being sent into re-education. But will Nur play by the rules?A fictional story inspired by real accounts. Writer Avin Shah has drawn on testimonies from the 2021 independent Uyghur Tribunal (chaired by Sir Geoffrey Nice, chief prosecutor on the trial of Slobodan Milošević) and on research by Raminder Kaur, Professor of Anthropology and Cultural Studies at the University of Sussex, who served on the tribunal, as well on interviews with other Uyghur and Chinese cultural and political consultants.Nur......Aruhan GalievaMeryem.....Camilla AnvarGuard and various other roles.....Daniel York LohOther members of the cast have chosen to remain anonymous.It was a BBC Audio Wales production, directed by Emma Harding.

The Chinese Cultural Revolution was launched by Chairman Mao in 1966 and lasted a whole decade until his death. It aimed to purify China of perceived bourgeois elements and reinforce hardline communist ideology. The era left a huge impact on China's socio-political landscape, but despite its seismic impact, it's not that well understood by many Westerners. Today, I'm speaking with Tania Branigan. Tania spent 7 years as the Guardian's China correspondent, and is also the author of a recent non-fiction book called Red Memory, which explores stories that have emerged about the Cultural Revolution and its lingering impact on contemporary China. I read and reviewed it earlier this year, and I was absolutely blown away.  In this episode, Tania and I go deep into her book, Red Memory, the process she went through in writing and researching the text. For those of you who don't know all that much about the Cultural Revolution, don't panic – Tania does an incredible job of covering the basics while also getting into the intricacies of the relevant political history. I thoroughly recommend the book for anyone looking to improve their knowledge of China, especially how this contemporary society is still haunted by many ghosts of the Cultural Revolution. Tania mentioned Sparks, by Ian Johnson (2023), a work of non-fiction which follows “counter-historians” documenting contemporary China. Her favourite book that I'd never heard of was The Memory Police, Yōko Ogawa (1994), a dystopian tale in which a totalitarian regime controls collective memory. Also by that author was The Housekeeper and The Professor, by Yōko Ogawa (2003), which follows an ageing mathematician whose memory is limited to 80 minutes. The best book she has read in the last twelve months was Waiting to be Arrested at Night, by Tahir Hamut Izgil (2023), which is a Uyghur poet's memoir of China's genocide of the majority-Muslim population in Xinjiang Province in Northwestern China. This also reminded her of another favourite with similar undertones, The Appointment, by the Romanian author Herta Müller (1997), which follows the life of a young woman living under a communist regime. The book she would take to a desert island is the collected short stories of Anton Chekhov. On that note, she also mentioned the fantastic book A Swim in The Pond in the Rain by George Saunders (2021), in which the author, a master short story writer, examines four classic Russian short stories, including one by Chekhov. Finally, a book that changed her mind was Heidi Larson's Stuck (2020), which explores vaccine rumours, and how best to deal with people who have different opinions on that subject.

Hosted by Jane Pauley. In our cover story, David Pogue looks at how artificial intelligence is revamping customer service call centers. Also: Lee Cowan talks with Jodie Foster about her new film, "Nyad," and new TV series, "True Detective: Night Country"; Luke Burbank profiles comedian Taylor Tomlinson, host of the new late-night series "After Midnight"; Kelefa Sanneh sits down with Grammy-nominated rapper-turned country star Jelly Roll; and Elizabeth Palmer examines how the Chinese government is rebranding its Xinjiang Province – site of a crackdown on its Muslim Uyghur population – as a tourist destination.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, we meet a family who fled Xinjiang Province, or what they prefer to call East Turkestan, to the US and are now teaching a new generation in the diaspora about Uyghur language and culture. We also meet a New York City restaurateur who is keeping Uyghur cuisine alive.

Please go to this podcast's webpage for links to the actual articles for more company and stock information. Also, some companies might be covered more than once and there are also 4 article links below that time didn't allow me to review them here. ------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Best Hydrogen ETFs And Stocks. Plus… Today, I'm starting with the article 7 Hydrogen Stocks You Better Be Buying on Each and Every Dip, by Ian Cooper, on investorplace.com. Here's some of what Mr. Cooper says about his picks. “1) Global X Hydrogen ETF (NASDAQ:HYDR) It's up to $10 a share and could test $12 a share, all because of the growing demand for hydrogen… as I noted on July 17, with an expense ratio of 0.50%, this one invests in companies involved in all aspects of hydrogen production, distribution and use. 2) ALPS Clean Energy ETF (NYSEARCA:ACES). With an expense ratio of 0.55%, the ETF offers diversification and exposure to companies involved with renewables and clean technology… While it's finding resistance above $50, eventually I'd like to see it test $60 a share again soon. 3) Defiance Next Gen H2 ETF (NYSEARCA:HDRO). With an expense ratio of 0.30%, the ETF invests in companies that generate at least 50% of their revenue from involvement with hydrogen-based energy sources, fuel cell technologies and industrial gases. While it's been volatile, it has a strong history of bouncing back from excessively oversold conditions. 4) Air Products & Chemicals (NYSE:APD) Owns more than 100 hydrogen plants around the world and is involved in more than 250 projects. Air Products & Chemicals [has] a yield of 2.32%. The company is also working on a $7 billion hydrogen joint venture in Saudi Arabia. 5) Bloom Energy (NYSE:BE) Is another one of the hot ‘must own' hydrogen stocks… Analysts at RBC Capital are also bullish… the firm just initiated coverage with an outperform rating with a price target of $24 a share. 6) Plug Power (NASDAQ:PLUG) Has traded essentially flat this year, but it's still a solid long-term bet on hydrogen… Northland Securities analysts just upgraded the stock to ‘outperform' from ‘market perform' with a price target of $22 a share. 7) Fusion Fuel Green (NASDAQ:HTOO) Is still a pre-revenue company, but it has some impressive contracts. For one, it signed a 10-year offtake contract with European developer Hydrogen Ventures for 30 tons of green hydrogen per year.'' End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Best Hydrogen ETFs And Stocks. Plus… Now continuing with the alternative energy theme is this piece titled 3 Alternative Energy Stocks With Multibagger Potential. It's by Faisal Humayun and found on investorplace.com. Mr. Humayun includes these points about his picks. “1) Plug Power (NASDAQ:PLUG) PLUG stock has trended lower in the last 12 months and it's a golden opportunity for long-term investors to accumulate. With the company providing end-to-end solutions in the hydrogen economy, the growth visibility is robust… With significant expansion plans, revenue is likely to increase to $5 billion in 2026 and further to $20 billion by 2030… I believe that PLUG stock is poised for multi-bagger returns. 2) First Solar (NASDAQ:FSLR) stock has surged by 135% in the last 12 months. However, considering the growth momentum, First Solar stock remains undervalued at a forward price-earnings ratio of 27.1. 3) Enphase Energy (NASDAQ:ENPH) stock has been trending lower and I see this downside as a good accumulation opportunity. At a forward price-earnings ratio of 30.5, the growth stock looks attractive with an investment horizon of five years… Enphase identifies itself as the world's leading supplier of microinverter-based solar-plus-storage systems.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Leading Sustainable Agricultural Related Stocks Many investors wonder what sustainable agricultural-related stocks there might be. Well, this article is for you. It's titled Benefits of Sustainable Investing: 3 Companies Leading The Way by Shoshana Weizenblut on finextra.com. Now a few comments by Ms. Weizenblut on her picks. “1) AGCO: Advancing Agricultural Sustainability AGCO integrates sustainability into its core business strategy, emphasizing innovation and technology to make agriculture more efficient, productive, and environmentally friendly. For instance, AGCO's Fendt Vario tractors leverage fuel-efficient designs and advanced technology to reduce environmental impact. The company's Precision Planting solutions help farmers optimize planting and yield, thereby minimizing waste and enhancing food security. 2) ICL Group: Promoting Sustainable Agriculture and Nutrition ICL Group, a leading global specialty minerals company, and one of the largest fertilizer manufacturers in the world, offers another attractive opportunity for sustainable investment. ICL's operations center around producing a sustainable food supply, focusing on soil health, plant nutrition, and food quality. ICL's innovative fertilizers are designed to increase crop yields while decreasing the environmental footprint. They are advancing Controlled Release Fertilizers (CRFs) and Water-Soluble Fertilizers (WSFs), which help maximize nutrient uptake and reduce nutrient leaching, thus protecting water sources. Furthermore, ICL's commitment to recycling industrial by-products into useful resources, such as phosphate, magnesium, and bromine among others, illustrates their dedication to a circular economy and resource efficiency.  3) John Deere (really Deere & Co): Pioneering Precision Agriculture John Deere, a familiar name in agricultural machinery, has been pushing boundaries to make farming sustainable and efficient. The company's focus on innovations to improve machinery efficiency and promote agriculture makes it a promising prospect for sustainable investors. John Deere's smart farming technologies, such as precision ag technology, allow farmers to utilize resources more effectively. This technology involves the use of GPS and data analytics to optimize crop planting, irrigation, and harvesting, reducing waste and environmental impact. Furthermore, John Deere's advancements in electric and autonomous farming machinery reflect their commitment to reducing emissions and promoting sustainability.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 15 Biggest Green Tech Companies in the World And now for your interest and which you might want to investigate are the 15 Biggest Green Tech Companies in the World.

The UN Human Rights Commission released a long-awaited report detailing China's misuse of terrorism laws to subjugate Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang Province. And Sept. 1 marks the first day of school across Ukraine. The day is akin to a national holiday, but this year, schools across the country are trying to figure out how to manage the academic year while the country remains at war. Also, as Russia continues its threats to cut off the Nord Stream 1 pipeline, the near-future of energy security in Germany is up in the air. Plus, renowned Afghan musician Ahmad Fanoos was airlifted out of Afghanistan when the Taliban took power. He tells us his story.

This week, to kick off our summer series on global repression, “Breaking Chains: Fighting the New Global Repressors,” we are taking a deep dive into the surveillance state in the People's Republic of China, namely, the Xinjiang Province. What technology does the PRC have at its disposal? How has this technology furthered repression of the Uyghur minority group? Geoffrey Cain, author of “The Perfect Police State: An Undercover Odyssey into China's Terrifying Surveillance Dystopia of the Future” and award winning foreign correspondent has been on the ground in the region and shares his insights, reporting and assessment of what the future may hold.Like this episode?

No Escape by Nury Turkel. This book is extraordinary – written by a man who was born in a Uyghur “re-education” camp during the Cultural Revolution, about the plight of the Uyghur people living in Xinjiang Province in Northwest China and much of it is simply unbelievable. The area has been turned into a huge open prison and while it's believed there are around 3 million people living inside the actual camps, life's not much better for those outside. China has set up the most repressive surveillance state the world has ever seen and there is constant monitoring and persecution of the inhabitants – who are labelled as potential religious extremists and a threat to the Communist Party's authority. The book is full of first-hand accounts and interviews with Uyghur people who've managed to get out and it's chilling – China denies it all of course but you read this and you know it has to be true. I've got loads of examples but will just give you this one: at 8am every Monday morning there's a flag raising ceremony at which attendance is compulsory. The temperature can get to minus 40 but head coverings aren't allowed because they could be a sign of religious devotion. They have an attendance booklet which needs to be stamped and if you go below 90%, you can be sent off to a re-education camp.   The Improbable Life of Ricky Bird by Diane Connell. Fiction. Ricky Bird is a 12-year-old tomboy who escapes into stories when her real life is turned upside down. Her parents have divorced and she moves with her mother into a London council flat, where she draws unwanted attention from her mum's new boyfriend. Meanwhile, her young brother Ollie has become terribly sick, and her mum is too distracted by the anxieties of that to notice what is happening to her daughter. It's been recommended as a book for people who loved The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time, and Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine – seems to fit right in there with the very, very long title genre! Joan MacKenzie joined Francesca Rudkin.LISTEN ABOVE

Bradley Jardine joins us to discuss his new publication, The Great Wall of Steel - https://www.wilsoncenter.org/book/great-wall-steel For years, the international community has known about China's treatment of Uyghurs within China, particularly in Xinjiang Province.  But here for the first time, the campaign against the Uyghurs beyond China's borders is documented.

Chinese leaders have struggled to develop coherent policies toward Eurasia for centuries. And the work of building a policy for the larger Central Asian region has serious implications for the building of the modern Chinese state. Beijing's efforts to reduce the influence of the Uyghur population of Xinjiang Province is a perfect example of the failing policies of the region. A BETTER PEACE welcomes Zenel Garcia to discuss his latest book China's Western Frontier and Eurasia The Politics of State and Region-Building. Zenel joins podcast editor Ron Granieri in the virtual studio to examine how China has attempted to handle its western frontier through a series of state-building initiatives. Their conversation looks at how China's region-building project in Eurasia has been complicated by the collapse of the USSR, increasing globalization, and the party's professed concerns about terrorism, separatism, and extremism.

The warnings given to the French in 1791 and 1792 by the other European powers were seen as a declaration of war.  The radical National Assembly declared war on Austria.  Prussia soon joined with Austria.  In 1792, the allied forces invaded France.  Despite the French military force's early setbacks in the invasion, they did manage a large victory in the fall of 1792, and stopped the invaders at the Battle of Varmy, France.   By then the Jacobins had joined with other radical factions, such as the sans-culottes, and controlled the nation.  In December of 1792, King Louis XVI was indicted by the radical government for treason and other related crimes.   He was convicted of all the charges in January 1793, and sentenced to death.  He was executed in Paris on January 21, 1793, by the guillotine.In the Spring of 1969, the Chinese and Soviet Union military forces clashed over a disputed island (Zhenbao Island) located in the Ussuri River that separated China and the Soviet Union.  The incident caused both nations to prepare for war.  In retaliation in August 1969, the Soviets attacked into Xinjiang Province, China and seized some of the area.  Both nations narrowly averted a larger war and settled their differences.   Martial law was declared in China and more political purges occurred.   After his arrest, former Vice Chair, Liu Shaoqi, died in solitary confinement in November 1969.  His successor, Lin Biao, had been appointed only a few months before.

A growing number of international brands are facing a backlash in China over their support for Uighur Muslims in Xinjiang Province. H&M, Nike, Adidas and Burberry are among the fashion labels to say they will no longer use cotton from the region, because of concerns about forced labour there. Allyson Stewart-Allen of International Marketing Partners says customers and employees are increasingly calling on companies to take a stand on social and environmental issues.

Never have U.S. atrocity determinations, which are uncommon to begin with, happened against a country as wealthy and powerful as China, lead by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party).

In this latest issue of my weekly podcast, we discuss the current state of the GOP. Last week, ten Republican representatives voted to impeach--and seven Republican senators voted to remove--Donald Trump. That is the largest number of other-party senators voting for removal from office in U.S. history. A day later, Trump excoriated Mitch McConnell, calling into question his leadership. The GOP once prided itself on unity while the Democrats struggled to pull together. Now the tables have turned. The GOP needs Biden to do very badly to have a good chance in 2024--or maybe even 2022.The number of split delegations in the Senate has fallen to its lowest since the direct election of senators began in 1914. Only six states now have senators from different parties; for most of the last century, this number hovered between 10 and 20.Three Covid-19 Mutation Takeaways: 1. The newest variants have become mostly resistant to the sera of people infected with older variants. 2. The newest variants are becoming increasingly resistant to the sera of vaccinated persons. 3. The newest variants clearly mutate in real-time in response to changes in the human environment.Is China committing genocide? In Northwest China, one million Uighurs have been forced into "re-education"/concentration camps. The Uighurs have been forced into factory work with reports of sterilizing the women and separating children from their families. The US and other Western nations have debated whether what is happening in Xinjiang Province is a full-fledged genocide or a (perhaps less sinister?) cultural genocide. This debate coincides with Biden and China clashing over other flashpoints like Honk Kong, Taiwan, and oh yes coup-stricken Myanmar, a "friend" of China that is facing its own genocide charges. **********The content featured here is a small part of Hedgeye’s Demography Unplugged, a game-changing market intelligence product brought to you by historian, demographer and best-selling author Neil Howe.

For the episode #32 we are opening the door to Mark Simon from China. You will learn about his story and his adventure in China and how he is trying to change hockey in China.Mark Simon, from Montreal, Quebec, Canada, has been living in China since August of 2006, beginning this stage of his life as an ‘ESL’ teacher in Beijing. Not even knowing there was hockey to be played or coached in China, he didn’t even bring his hockey equipment until finding the Beijing International Ice Hockey League (the adult, largely-expat league) in the summer of 2007. With hockey being the passion of his life, Simon was now able to see an opportunity to follow this dream by getting involved with coaching and eventually managing one of Beijing’s most successful youth clubs, the Imperial Guard, which he helped lead from 2008-2012. The ‘IG’ is known as one of the elite clubs in Chinese youth hockey history.He continued teaching English half-time and coaching/managing half-time until 2010 when he was hired by Asia’s agent for Canada’s CIMCO Refrigeration, CTC Industries where he headed the rink operations business. This included outdoor and indoor projects in Urumqi, Xinjiang Province, at the Worker’s Stadium in Beijing and in Yichun, Heilongjiang.Shortly after being relocated to Shanghai near the end of 2012, Simon left CTC to become the Hockey Director at the Feiyang Skating Center. In 2 years there, he helped build a kids hockey program, a Learn to Skate program and year-round adult leagues. This employment ended with a mutual agreement in March of 2015.So far in 10 years of Chinese youth hockey involvement, Simon has coached over 700 players between the ages of 6-65 (including weekly adult and girls groups). He has taken teams to tournaments and games throughout China (Beijing, Shanghai, Harbin), Hong Kong (7 times), Taipei, Canada (Ottawa), Singapore, Japan and Korea (including several players from former teams and some from Thailand - one team was recently named ‘Asia United’).Reach Mark Simon:Email: mailto:marksim14@hotmail.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/mark.simon.3382Reach Podcaster: Coach FrenchyWebsite: http://www.coachfrenchy.comEmail: mailto:coach@coachfrenchy.comFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/inthepenaltyboxTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/coachfrenchygreatnessIG: http://www.instagram.com/coachfrenchy10x

President Donald Trump's anti-China posturing and the US China standoff threatens world attention being shifted further away from the plight of the Muslim Uyghurs in Xinjiang Province, suffering under forced labour, mass detention, the removal of children and forced sterilisation.

Welcome back to the Homespun Yak! In this week's informative episode, Nic walks us through what we currently know about the situation for the Uighur population in the Xinjiang Province of China. Under the guise of "cultural re-education", it appears as though the Chinese have rounded up millions of Uighur Muslims against their will in internment camps in order to forcefully eradicate their property, culture and ability to reproduce on their own terms. The guys examine reasons as to why/how this is currently happening in the 21st century, if this is a clear example of a modern genocide, and cite similar examples of these actions throughout history under other communist regimes (Soviet Union). The guys then shift to discuss what it must be like as a Freshman in college after UNC announced all classes going forward will be held remotely online. Reflecting upon their own experiences as wide-eyed 1st year students at major Universities, they can't help but feel for the millions of young folks throughout the world who won't be able to socially interact in a completely new and exciting world. Hopefully by 2021, we will be able to have a safe vaccine that will enable them to ultimately achieve this wonderful experience. Finally, the new "Sports Second" segment is introduced by Kyle as the conversation turns to the unique Semi-Final showdown of the Champions League which includes 2 teams from both Germany and France. Barcelona's massive meltdown defeat to Bayern Munich in the quarter finals now raises serious concerns over the fate of Leo Messi retiring in the Catalan capital, and Kyle speculates where the superstar may end up next season if demands aren't met... A rundown of the NBA Bubble Playoff picture is also discussed in great detail. Tune in and subscribe!

Going Underground’s social media producer, Farhaan Ahmed, speaks to China’s ambassador to the UK, Liu Xiaoming, about Boris Johnson’s decision to give access to UK citizenship to millions of Hongkongers after the National Security Law was implemented by Beijing in Hong Kong. He accuses the US of still harboring a colonial mindset and not recognizing that Hong Kong is now part of China, as well as arguing for why the new law is needed. Next, Afshin Rattansi speaks to the former translator for Chinese Paramount leader Deng Xiaoping and VP of the Center for China and Globalization. He discusses the implementation of the National Security Law in Hong Kong, why he believes the law is needed, the UK’s comments and actions following its implementation, allegations of the law being parallel to US national security legislation, allegations of mass internment and human rights abuses of Uighurs in Xinjiang Province, the treatment of China as an enemy nation, and where UK-China relations go from here. Finally, Afshin Rattansi speaks to Prof. Clifford Stott, the UK SAGE Committee sub-group adviser. He discusses the psychology behind recent mass protests and riots, from the Black Lives Matter global movement, to the mass protests in Hong Kong, how inequality is a fundamental cause of these protests and how coronavirus has only amplified inequality in the minds of people, how different policing responses against different racial groups fosters distrust and discontent, why crackdowns and repression ultimately do not work, and more!

The Uyghur crisis in western China has led to over 1 million – some upwards of 2 million – Muslim Uyghur people being interned in what the Chinese government calls "re-education" centres. They've steadily faced an erosion of their cultural and religious rights, forcible birth control and increasingly oppressive surveillance. Now a shrinking minority within their own lands, Sophie Richardson, China director of Human Rights Watch, speaks to HOPE not hate's Nick Ryan about what's really happening in Xinjiang Province

The original Rum Bunch is back and talking about protests in Hong Kong and oppression in Xinjiang. In this China-focused episode, our band of former Hill staffers discuss what makes these two very important challenges to American values distinct, why the president and Congress treat them very differently, and how the U.S. Republican and Democratic parties see the democracy protests in Hong Kong and China's repression of its own people in Xinjiang Province in basically the same way.

When Joseph Nye, Jr., first used the phrase soft power in 1990 in his book Bound to Lead: The Changing Nature of American Power, China did not factor much into his calculus of world order: It had relatively little military and economic power, and none of the softer “persuasive” or “attractive” abilities that Nye saw as key features of the global domination of the United States. Today, we live in a different world, and though China is achieving remarkable military might and economic dominance, Nye would argue that China has only made stumbling progress in becoming a more attractive brand to most other nations. What are the continuing roadblocks to China’s progress in building soft power? How is Donald Trump affecting the balance of such power between the U.S. and China? Are both countries headed toward an inevitable great power conflict — also known as the Thucydides Trap — in which an established power’s fear of a rising power escalates toward war? And has the meaning of the term soft power changed in the last 25 years, between 1990 and 2015, when Nye published his most recent book, Is the American Century Over? Jeremy and Kaiser spoke with Nye, a University Distinguished Service Professor at Harvard University, at Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government, where he was formerly the dean. Recommendations: Jeremy: “Imagining Re-Engineered Muslims in Northwest China,” a largely visual article by Darren Byler on Chinese propaganda about Muslims in Xinjiang Province. Joe: Is the American Century Over?, his most recent book, which contains a chapter that specifically compares the U.S. and China in soft power. Plus, an upcoming (planned for a mid-September 2017 release) Ken Burns film on the Vietnam War, which should be of interest to anyone interested in Asia, the U.S., or history in general. Kaiser: The collection of Renaissance oil paintings at the Arthur M. Sackler Museum at Harvard University.

Jim Millward is one of the world’s leading scholars on Xinjiang and Central Asia, and the author of many books and articles, including Beyond the Pass: Economy, Ethnicity, and Empire in Qing Central Asia, 1759-1864, and The Silk Road: A Very Short Introduction, published by Oxford. In this week’s Sinica Podcast, Kaiser and Jeremy talk to Jim about the myths and histories of the Silk Road and a continent’s worth of related subjects: Xi Jinping's signature effort to revive the Silk Road through the One Belt, One Road initiative; the mythological bird associated with Central Asia known as the Dapeng (大鹏), or Roc; the argument over the connection of extremism in Xinjiang to global jihadism; the Chinese policy on ethnic minorities; and academic debates over "New Qing History" and a number of other issues that are putting Central Asia back into its formerly central place in the story of the world's past. This episode also features a special outro tune played by Jim and Kaiser. Recommendations: Jeremy — books by Peter Fleming: One’s Company – A Journey to China News from Tartary: A Journey from Peking to Kashmir The Siege at Peking Jim: Rian Thum: The Sacred Routes of Uyghur History David Brophy: Uyghur Nation: Reform and Revolution on the Russia-China Frontier Justin Jacobs: Xinjiang and the Modern Chinese State Kwangmin Kim: Borderland Capitalism: Turkestan Produce, Qing Silver, and the Birth of an Eastern Market Judd Kinzley: Staking Claims to China’s Borderland: Oil, Ores, and State-building in Xinjiang Province, 1893-1964 (book forthcoming) and a review of the dissertation Music video: Silk Road Tour 11 – Urumqi – Abigail Washburn & The Village Kaiser: The Chinese immigrant hub of Flushing, Queens, in New York, as a subject of anthropological or cultural studies inquiry.

Patarida (Lynn) Kiatsamuttara is from Thailand. She began traveling after taking a hiatus from working in the oil and gas industry. We discuss the history and politics of Thailand, living in Xinjiang Province in western China, and traveling in mainland China.

Northwest China's Xinjiang region is energy rich. It has the country's largest deposits of oil and coal and is home to 40% of the China's known natural gas reserves. More than 21 million people live there, almost five times more than did in 1949. Millions of Han migrants from other parts of China have come to join in extracting resources and building cities. In July 2009, horrific riots broke out in the region's capital, leaving nearly 200 people dead, almost 2,000 injured, and millions more too frightened to carry on with daily life. The government dispatched large numbers of security personnel and cut off the region's international phone and internet links. Several of those convicted of violence during the riots were executed. Dozens were arrested. On September Professor Yang Zhongdong, a visiting scholar from Xinjiang University's School of Humanities, discusses these riots. Yang argues against the use of the concept of "ethnic conflict" to describe of the 2009 riots in Xinjiang. He combines a comprehensive analysis of the riots with particular attention to social, economic, cultural, and historical factors with recollections of his own personal experiences in Xinjiang. Professor Yang's research focus is contemporary Muslim communities in Xinjiang Province. Born in Urumqi, the region's capital, Yang is a Hui, a Muslim minority. This background helped inspire his study of the history and the culture of Xinjiang. As a scholar in Hui Studies, a fairly new discipline, Professor Yang emphasizes the importance of the ethnological discipline in his research. Ethnology, according to Professor Yang, incorporates a large amount of fieldwork that is essential to studying one specific ethnicity. The diversity of China dictates that an ethnological approach to studying the Xinjiang people is indispensible. His current research in Los Angeles involves comparing how religion and ethnicity shape the identity of Muslim minorities in the U.S. and China.

In this episode, Kamyar and Rustin parse out the different narratives circulating around the September 22 terrorist attack in Ahvaz/Ahwaz. They discuss Narges Bajoghli's recent article in Foreign Policy, ["Did a Terrorist Attack Just Save the Iranian Regime?"](http://https://foreignpolicy.com/2018/09/26/did-a-terrorist-attack-just-save-the-iranian-regime/). Dr Bajoghli is a friend of Ajam, and has appeared on the Emerging Scholarship Series to discuss her research on the [media and cultural production of Iran-Iraq War paramilitary veterans](http://https://ajammc.com/2015/09/27/emerging-scholarship-bajoghli-paramilitary-media/). Joshua Sooter, a PhD candidate in History and East Asian Studies at New York University joins the show to talk about the ongoing conflict in China's Xinjiang Province. The conversation covers the history of Chinese western expansion and current-day state repression of the Uyghur population.
