wait, did requiring engravings of knives purchased in these areas start before or after the fundamentalist sectarianism?
Hui Muslims also do not completely escape this terrifying inculcation. Which isn't to say it's some inherent feature of Islam, obviously not if these groups have co-existed for so long, but we can't ignore the extent to which a recent narrative of "cultural genocide" gets slathered on these stories.
Hui Muslims are socio-linguistically & historically of Chinese descent. And they are also known to have Salafist & extreme sectarian groups moving in and out of these areas in Xinjiang. Hui muslims have been implicated in Heroin rings & moving those drugs to those Uyghur areas.
To what extent is Daesh and its outgrowths an encouragement for these groups elsewhere & why was the reporter A. Vltchek found dead under suspicious circumstances in Turkey?
Is this global nexus of oil money & militant funding & state surveillance not just a way to encircle China from Central Asia?

education & economic development are not law enforcement issues in the same way as the United States' War on Drugs & racist for-profit prison industry.
you can parse the lasting social benefits & fundamental uplifting aim of one over the other, i am sure of this.
and you're right from one perspective about Turkey, I think, but this topic just gets more interesting & complex the less we accept the "china bad" line.

the way news & sensationalism & outright lies blend so perfectly into jingoism can't be ignored. none of us are immune to propaganda, but I think we can comb through most of these claims about PRC and find very little real or irrefutable evidence.

Wait, what's the solution outside of economically investing in these areas and attempting to bring these far-flung & socially disparate groups into the fold of larger PRC mainstream cultural norms?
I think you discount the extent to which these insurgencies have their origins in Western & Saudi-influenced meddling
deleted by creator
oh right, you know the solution lol... better let Beijing know dude!

cite successful General Petraeus' manual some more
tell us about how thoughtfully the counterinsurgency in Iraq and the Levant turned out
deleted by creator
wrong again

https://www.cnn.com/2015/09/01/politics/david-petraeus-al-qaeda-isis-nusra/
Cite Gen. Petraeus' maniacal worldview some more. That's certainly going to lead to less chaos & more goodwill between these groups
deleted by creator
oh right, the only reality is the Western imperialist one lmfao
deleted by creator
you have nothing to cite nor any information to actually engage with, i get it
"china bad"... "gen. petraeus good", you've already outlined your worldview lmfao
deleted by creator
except you're still playing, only without any actual information or cited sources...
deleted by creator
come with actual information and not just your kneejerk reactions from a Western Islamophobic "White Man's Burden" nonsense perspective
you haven't cited shit
you are LARPing
deleted by creator
oh now it's my tone, and not your bullshit irrelevant opinions on something you obviously have no grounding in lmfao
deleted by creator
you literally said that General Petraeus was right.... that's nonsense
deleted by creator
you're the one making shit up.
Petraeus was wrong, and he was his own worst enemy in other ways.
but the key point is that you think America's global War on Terror is applicable to Xinjiang, and again that's nonsense
deleted by creator
lol, "OH NO YOU'RE NAME-CALLING NOW LET ME MAKE THIS SOME PERSONAL PISSING MATCH & WHINE SOME MORE ABOUT CIVILITY" you're a clown
your baseless claims are still baseless
deleted by creator
likewise
deleted by creator
lmfao, yes I circle over idiotic white Western chauvinist nonsense and feed on the rot... too bad you left this stinking carcass of a baizuo opinion on here for me to dismiss
deleted by creator
you literally said that General Petraeus' manual and American attempts to understand & move against Viet Minh's resistance are applicable for PRC in Xinjiang
that is hot garbage
deleted by creator
right, now you're the victim of state repression
deleted by creator
now you're being unfairly targeted just because you hold the divinely appointed opinion that American approaches to counterinsurgency will lead the Uyghurs to freedom : ( poor bb
deleted by creator
likewise
keep recommending that PRC use American tactics from Vietnam & the Iraq Wars on Xinjiang. That's the biggest brain'd take I've seen all week
deleted by creator
Get actual sources & citations and maybe a grounding in a paradigm other than Western imperialist determinism
deleted by creator
seems like you're still playing and not actually citing information or sources. Instead you insist on blaming the messenger for calling your bird-brain opinions out
no self-criticism from you at all, pretty sad
deleted by creator
I am criticizing your opinions, not you personally. This is where you're getting mired
you still don't get that your opinions are incorrect and would actually be detrimental if applied in Xinjiang
you don't care about the truth of Salafist extremism, and actually said that US-imperialist chaos that created ISIS was a good thing "until Syria" happened or whatever
American stupidity created ISIS & stoked Sunni-Shia sectarianism. If you want something similar to play out in Uyghur areas, you're being facetious
deleted by creator
you haven't argued anything, and instead of engaging in good-faith with the topic, you retreat to this whinging tone-policing bullshit. Instead of treating your own position as fallable and accept new evidence contrary to your own opinions, you revert to a personal pissing contest while pearl-clutching about civility or something silly
then you say you are "done" or "through" or that you're not going to play lol. then you respond again with the same baseless whining without any sources or argumentation
sounds like you don't actually care about Uyghurs or the connections between Western imperialism & the rise of Islamic fundamentalism. you just want to parrot anti-PRC narratives on a leftist platform while pretending that it isn't rooted in hypocritical Western chauvinism
deleted by creator
oh right, now you're abused because your opinions are wrong lmfao
deleted by creator
i just want you to have better opinions on geopolitics & PRC, bubba.
could not care less what you think about others personally, that's your issue
deleted by creator
you haven't convinced anyone of anything... not even yourself lol. I'm still here wondering when you're actually going to be "done" or "through" or to stop "playing"
but I doubt you'll actually engage in self-criticism
