It doesn’t make sense
unlike the united states which relies on non-material religious justifications for its rule
but… it’s manifest… and it’s destiny… you can’t deny manifest destiny!
As in the Chinese and sinicized cultures living there for last 2000 years? How about we search for some Euro artifacts this old in Americas?
fun fact, there’s a variety of mandarin still spoken in central asia, now written in cyrillic
What a crossover
Is anyone other than The Economist actually disputing PRC’s control over Xinjiang?
if anyone is they’re not as big mouthed about it
Can anyone recommend any reading on China and the Xinjiang area or Uyghur nationalist movements?

Once again I have a Chunka Luta book recommendation: Indigenous Paleolithic by Paulette Steeves
Archeology as a discipline in the West functions as a Colonial tool to deny the history of Indigenous peoples. The biggest example is the “Clovis First Theory” (debunked) that posits all Indigenous peoples of the Americas descend from migrations across the Bering Strait during the last glacial maxim. Archeologists who made their careers on this study have bullied and physically harmed opponents to their hypothesis. US settlers over and over have destroyed archeological sites intentionally (and many unintentional as well) and this has been used to deny how long people have been living in the western continents.
This is once again, a projection onto China what the Whites have been doing all over the world.
there are literally living dialects of Mandarin Chinese (as in intelligible to Beijingers) spoken in Kazakhstan. Arguably China’s most famous poet, Li Bai, was born in modern Kyrgyzstan.
They are making it sounds like they are unearthing ancient progenitor weapons to subjugate the population. Man, I knew I should have gone into archaeology.
in comparison to the US “might makes right” justification for its rule on american continent
But Xinjiang is part of China…
