good luck with that. China will stick them into a blender if they even try, as they should.
Their goal is to create chaos in the Central Asian corridor, which is a main pillar of the Belt and Road Initiative. The empire’s strategy is to create chaos through terrorism to make the Eurasian economic cooperation prohibitively expensive.
unsurprisingly communist analysis predicted this exact scenario many years ago
Often when I listened to prominent academics giving their takes and recollecting history, I thought to myself 'god damn, they're knowledgable' - because it would take me a long time to read up, and understand the conflicts they were speaking of and be able to talk about it.
What I hadn't realised up until recently, is that if you keep up with the news for years on these issues, you too end up with this knowledge bank. These academics didn't necessarily go back and read all the history books - they lived through them in real time, and each day learnt and applied communist perspectives in the face of propaganda.
Similarly, the Marxists of this community repeatedly educated me but being more correct and predictive about things than everyone else until I read more theory and caught up.
It is called the immortal science for a reason
I know they're usually very measured about these things, but they need to erase these guys like they erased the cia proxy force parachuted into Tibet.
they'll erase themselves if they even bother showing up. While they've been off pillaging in Syria for a decade the Chinese government has lifted the standard of living in Xinjiang and tamped down on Uyghur separatism. Typically a would be independence movement needs to, you know, be active in the land and among the people they are purporting to represent.
If these guys think they'll receive a hero's welcome from the locals they'll be sorely mistaken, and the US isn't around in Afghanistan to funnel them support anymore. Hilariously their old friends in the Taliban will probably sell them out to China now for a few drops of aid money. It will look like some bay of pigs shit if they try to return in force. I doubt they will even try to leave Syria
Yeah the PLA mopped up the Tibetan CIA assets quick because they could not hide. Imagine being a typical liberated Tibetan serf seeing some lama failson trying to bring back slavery. Yeah it's reporting time.
Reminded me of this gem from Parentis "Friendly feudalism"
They have a ceiling support of 45% (the percentage of Uyghurs in Xinjiang), so good luck with pulling off a separatist movement. But this is all talk. Put your feet in the shoes of these Uyghur jihadists. They could risk going through Afghanistan to get vaporized by the PLA or they could steal land from indigenous Syrians and set themselves up as Uyghur settlers like their Zionist masters. They're already stealing land since if they decide to squat in a Syrian's home, the Syrian can't exactly say no.
Bay of Pigs 2:
boogaloo.
Afghanistan is an economically devastated pariah state. China should extend a helping hand and get Afghanistan back on their feet by economically and politically helping them. And when China does help them in this way, the Taliban will know what to do when they see a bunch of Uyghur jihadists trying to make their way to Xinjiang.
Pretty much. The best model for anti terrorism is the development of Xinjiang, full stop. Generally speaking people don't like being terrorists and would much rather live regular lives, so if you stabilize a region and give them that option they will choose it.
Not necessarily. Operation Cyclone was about funding and arming the conservative feudal warlords whose power derived from land holding were being threatened by the Afghan communist government’s reforms.
China could do that in Xinjiang because they already have their land reform completed from a very early stage, which abolished the extant power held by the local landlord class.
In order to replicate China’s model in Xinjiang, you need to sever the feudal relations that still exist in today’s Afghanistan. Otherwise any kind of industrialization would be difficult, because the conservative warlords who have their own fiefdoms would want to extract as much as they can from the government for land development, and this makes economic development very expensive if not downright impossible because they might not be willing to give land concession to the government.
Fair, it's a totally different situation, but I think that if nothing else cooperation and development remains provably the best path to stabilization and therefore reducing radicalization. Just imagine fighters coming home from fighting in Syria to find out that the rest of their family is making twice as much as they are while working half as hard, how many do you think will just want to settle down?
Xi's comically large blender
Your programming is a few years out of date, even the UN gave up the ghost on trying to spin that yarn. Tell us about Saddam Hussein's WMDs next
Gotta say, after the last few years, I don't think you people should be allowed to use the word genocide anymore
Have to put it on a high shelf until you understand what it actually means
Western censorship of the plight of the Palestinians was so blatant I'm surprised libs still remember how to spell "genocide."
There is a non-trivial number of people who think China is genociding Uyghurs but Israel isn't genociding Palestinians
Those people legit make my blood boil with rage
Westerners think China killed every single Uyghur
Yeah, there's still people breathlessly repeating that "Russia is carrying out a genocide on Ukraine" and I'm looking at the death counts compared to Palestine and going
Those kind of people are especially stupid.
Libs are very fond of using the word genocide (PuTiN, China, Assad) except when it actually applies (Palestine)
"Everything is genocide except actual genocide, which is fine"
I turned the burner on my stove and shit directly onto it to see if I could make something worse than your post and I failed miserably.
lmao get fucked, lib
