"Why aren't the Islamist head hoppers we have been cultivating for decades biting the targets we want anymore?!" cries the Anglo Imperialist.
The real answer is that China doesn't have troops occupying random Muslim nations nor does it gratuitously insult Muslims while simultaneously pandering to them. It's a simple thing called respect. You can kill a man, but to humiliate is even worse. Liberalisms inability to deal
with sectarianism or it's burdensome Muslim minorities arises from the fact it mistakes symbolism for action. It routinely insults and degrades Muslims because it is unable to truly rule them. Mohammed cartoons and similar stunts are puerile and serve no purpose beyond incitement
"Let's expel all Saudi financed Imams and actually enforce secularization via state power, Francoise"... "Too damn hard Henri, so let's paint Mohammed getting sodomized instead to show what we think of Muslim norms"..."Brilliant idea as always Francoise, that's totally helpful"
"Nooooo but what about Chinaaaaa" cries the Anglo courtier. "Chinaaaaa is your enemy not france, you ungrateful stupid Muslims."

Interesting 4D chess theory of Guo Wengui, Yan Limeng, etc being Chinese double agents to poison the well of American anti-China attitudes. I.e. to attach the movement to a hated and discredited domestic rival, Bannon/Trump which instinctively sets the elite opinion against it as
well as rolling out the most stupid and easily debunked theories so that further revelations is instinctively dismissed out of hand. This doesn't seem very plausible to me because 1) it is a very subtle influence operation and 2) anti-Party Chinese activists are that stupid and
dishonest as a rule. The party isn't good at this kind of subtle propaganda game and more critically isn't isn't particularly useful because the US propaganda game is much more powerful and can shift attitudes on a dime if desired so even if this was a Chinese plot, it is one

This is either incredibly based or incredibly dishonest depending on whether you chose to believe it is true. The reality, like always is a little more complex. The party has publicly been encouraging intermarriages, via financial subsidies for newly married couples.
Inter ethnic marriages had been on a downward trend according to the 2010 census. Uighur-Han interrmarriages are only 1% of household (5% for Kazakh-Han marriages) which had been a substantial decline since 2000. This is emblematic of the attempt at social withdraw from the
wider Chinese state-society by Uighur society as a whole. The reaction by the Party can be seen as an expansion of the state to reabsorb them back into the mainstream, i.e. any attempt at social separatism won't be tolerated. The idea that you can just wander into Xinjiang and

There is this perverse idea that the CCP is putting out anti-Western propaganda among DC China Watchers and their Journalist cum rags when it clearly isn't the case. Party propaganda is always about delivering positive messages about China and the Party itself, i.e. Coronavirus
contained, poverty declining, new so and so. It's intent is first and foremost to signal to the Chinese people the accomplishments of one party rule. Since policy debate is decided internally, there is no need for the entire media farce required in the West to gin up public
sentiment as media shills and policy pundits circle jerk one another to justify whatever. That bit of theater is simply superfluous in the Chinese political system. Thus Chinese media, rather than devious is mostly just staid. If the PRC were to adopt a stridently anti-Anglo push

The map is a composite of age/weight profiles, prior undiagnosed exposure to similar coronavirus, and effective utilization of state capacity in order of significance. A failed check on all three gets you the American (continental) level of casualties.
Mainland SE Asia has the lowest casualties in spite of marginal governance because of no fatties, resistance from previous undiagnosed localized viral sweeps. East Asia, some resistance, but again fewer fatties, strong state capacity geared towards pandemic suppression.
Sub Saharan Africa has no fatties and the youngest demographic profile, so again marginal impact. The America's are the most distant and isolated population from the old world and likely more susceptible to old world diseases, also fatasses everywhere. Rest of the world pass/fail

China's Muslims and Japan's Empire or Liberalism and minority policy; a book review of a sorts. One of the trends in Western China scholarship is what I would call Qing revisionism. New Qing studies is the origin of the term, but the purpose is actual widescale historical
revisionism away from Party historical orthodoxy and towards a "truer" version of history. The reasons for this are partly Western academic trends towards deconstruction, partly younger academics overturning their elders, and a small part quasi geopolitical attack to undermine
in their own small fashion state history and foster historical nihilism. The problem is of course is that the academics fail to comprehend the great utility of little white lies. Speaking of the book, it lays out the opportunistic collaboration of Chinese Muslims under Japanese

Another example of Journalists lieing out their ass relying on reader ignorance to create fictional narratives. In this case though, it's probably the reverse as the Journalists was already wedded to a narrative and just started making up reality to fit it. The Utsul Hijabs that
are depicted in the photo and referred through the article as traditional are anything but. They are normative to the pre-modern middle east perhaps but are completely alien to South-East Asian Muslims. It would be as if claiming the three piece suit as traditional Chinese attire
Hijabs as depicted did not even exist in SE Asia until the latter half of the 20th century, that is how recent they are. Much of the nominally Muslim population women didn't even cover their breasts let alone their hair up into the last century as part of traditional wear.
