Demystifying Xinjiang and the Uighers with Carl Zha
We have been hearing ridiculous rumors, self-serving lies and neocon propaganda about Xinjiang, China. Unfortunately, much of this propaganda bled into the initial coverage of the covid-19 situation, which prevented many western governments from taking it seriously and enacting the measures necessary to contain the virus.
Today, we have Carl Zha to walk us through detailed history about Xinjiang, the Uighers, and their relationship to China.
Xinjiang in 1915
Winter in Xinjiang in 1910

Demystifying Xinjiang and the Uighers with Carl Zha
Hi, I very much enjoyed the episode, it really opened my eyes to the seams in the western media narrative and how often they obfuscate or exaggerate for their own purposes. Do the Xinjiang papers that were just released change your perspective on anything Esha? Thank you and have a good one
The content is excellent and very informative. Carl 's knowledge about the history of Xinjiang brings the audience to a much needed level of understanding about the whole Xinjiang politcal development. One suggestion to the interviewer though, and please don't take it as an offence: if the interviewer can tone down her voice and dont try to be "cute", or giggle at the wrong moments, it will her up her professionalism. I do appreciate her bringing Carl on though. Thanks!
