The Terror in Xinjiang

from The World Unpacked · host James Palmer, Jen Psaki

Reports of China's repression of its Uighur minority have been trickling out for years, but recently leaked documents tell the story of sweeping and systematic campaigns of detention, cultural genocide, brainwashing, and forced labor. Jen talks to James Palmer about what he's learned about the situation on the ground, what the example of Xinjiang has meant for the Hong Kong protestors, and what consequences these two crises have had for China on the world stage.

"Technology isn't allowing the repression; it's empowering it - it's taking existing biases and amplifying it on a vast scale"
