Defend China and fight for an independent socialist Xinjiang! National oppression in China with Comrade Ray Bishop

Listen to a hayfevery Mansa as she sits down with Ray Bishop, member of the ed board of Spartacist, and author of "National Opperssion in Xi's China: A Trotskyist answer." We discuss how the national oppression of Uyghurs is used by imperialists to go after China and why it is necessary to fight for an independent socialist Xinjiang to defend China. Today, as the US goes belligerent and seeks to asphyxiate the People's Republic, the defence of China is paramount for the international working class, and key to this defence is to make sense of this utterly controversial question that the international left cannot deal with. The article we discuss can be read here: https://iclfi.org/spartacist/en/70/china-natlChina: Do nothing, lose: https://iclfi.org/spartacist/en/70/chinaOpen letter to the Central Committee of the CPC: https://iclfi.org/spartacist/en/2025-cpc-letterCheck out translations of our articles in Chinese here: https://iclfi.org/zhCheck out other articles in the latest Spartacist here: https://iclfi.org/spartacist/en/70Subscribe to Spartacist here: https://iclfi.org/spartacist/en/subscribeFollow us on X @spartacist_ICL and Youtube @Spartacist, and follow our Chinese language X @sibadakepai Get in touch!sparttalk.org | Like the episode and subscribe to the show wherever you get your podcasts, and follow us on X @SpartacistICL, YouTube @Spartacist, or follow Mansa on Insta @punjabibolshevik
