2 yr old video by 17yr old #Uyghur girl 安妮古丽 that shows production of #XinjiangCotton in #Xinjiang

Check out her YouTube Channel for more life in #Xinjiang
Before you say this is CCP Propaganda. This video capture on candid camera aspect of Xinjiang life that would nvr be shown in real Chinese gov Propaganda video.

She asked the farmer lady abt price of #XinjiangCotton (5RMB/kilo), farmer lady says farmers' life r hard
Ironically the #XinjiangCotton harvester shown in the video is Made in US John Deere. So US gov know exactly the mechanized level in #Xinjiang via export numbers. Instead they prefer to project historical association of cotton w slavery in US to China
See John Deere export numbers to China 👇

I learned abt Taiwan's National Sun Yat-sen University's "Green rats extermination" project on Dongsha (Pratas) Island in South China Sea. It finally helped me answer some questions abt the Great Leap Forward.

Thread
Taiwan controls Dongsha (Pratas) and Taiping Island in South China Seas. These islands r plagued by rats problem. Sun Yat-sen University's "Green rats extermination" project use ground Corncob flour (no kernels) mixed w peanut butter as rat feed.
rats will bring back these corncob flour "candies" back to their nest to share. corncob flour absorbs water and expand. eventually rats die from dehydration. This solved a question I always had abt the Great Chinese Famine after Great Leap Forward.

開口叫吧　高聲叫吧

Nike's virtue signaling over #Xinjiang "forced labor" really helped Chinese brand Li Ning to hit a home run today. Let's recall how the founder Li Ning conquered 1984 Los Angeles Olympics and got dubbed the Prince of Gymnastics.

Remembering the time when CIA collaborated w Taiwan intelligence to assassinate Zhou Enlai on his way to Bandung conference in Indonesia by blowing up his ride Air India’s Princess Kashmir over South China Sea in 1955. Zhou had emergency appendectomy, missed the flight. 16 died.
Bandung Conference aka Asian–African Conference organized by Indonesian President Sukarno, Indian PM Nehru and Zhou Enlai and the prospect of a coalition of newly independent states of the Global South freaked out US planners that they did everything in their power to sabotage it
Bandung Conference 1955 led the way to Non-Aligned Movement. But 1962 Sino-Indian War as result of increasing tension frm CIA sponsored 1959 Tibetan Revolt, and US backed coup overthrowing Sukarno in Indonesia in 1965 would damp the spirit of Bandung.

Americans have been killing Asians in and out of US for over a century. American boys have been repeatedly sent over across Pacific where they raped, brutalized and harass Asian women then demean them as sexualized objects. Even anti-war movie Full Metal Jacket popularized dis👇
US occupation of Japan, Korea, Vietnam and Philippines spawn entire sex industry catering to American GIs. GI on R&R frm Vietnam War kicked off Thailand's sex tourism industry. This only made American males feel entitled to Asian women's bodies
While American men hypersexualize and fetish Asian women, Asian men are emasculated in American culture. Both Asian men and women caricatured and made fun of. It remains acceptable in US to make Asian jokes in public because there's virtually no consequences
