Wow. Where to begin? These GT pieces keep unintentionally speaking truth. First, "we are just trying to turn them into normal people" (i.e. Uyghurs in re-ed camps.) Now, "Their mind-set is still stuck in the Cultural Revolution." Whose minds, exactly?

I’m sure my Georgetown colleague @madeleine Albright would care about Uyghurs in concentration camps /2 When is it not just about trade @ASB ? You can at least mention the obvious issue even if Trump didn’t.

Handshake wars: someone on Trump’s team should have read Howard French’s book All Under Heaven. XJP always stands on the left to force the other guy into an awkward reach. #天下 @hofrench pic.twitter.com/JhD5jvsqQQ

Fred Hyatt’s concise, trenchant statement of why the greatest damage Trump is doing is in foreign policy, esp re China. Also an outline for how US should respond to more assertive PRC: don’t panic, be our real selves. washingtonpost.com/opinions/globa…

Song and dance, but Uyghurs are playing traditional Chinese, not Uyghur, instruments. Why is CCP so averse to non-Han culture? twitter.com/uyghur_nur/sta…

Indpt judiciary and free press aim to achieve this in democracies: naming and shaming bad citizens, reigning in corrupt officials. If the same Party that the officials belong to collects data and runs social credit sys, Party still protects its own /2 washingtonpost.com/news/theworldp…

PRC social credit system has many local variations. One in Xinjiang deducts points for being Uyghur, for praying, for ever having traveled abroad. That kind of thing make the whole idea frightening. /1 washingtonpost.com/news/theworldp…

At dinner with Xi Trump may not mention 1 million Uyghurs in concentration camps. B/c of trade. Think what that means—for US leader to ignore internment camps and ethnic cleansing entirely. Where exactly is the point where human rights matter? @NYTimes nyti.ms/2DQOjqS?smid=n…
