Your point was muddled. You asked do I read everything about Russia annexing Crimea, I replied “yes.” Not that every article about Russia was also about crimea. That isn’t true, nor is it true that every even negative article about China mentions Uighurs.

My bad, fixed my wording.

Do send me an article that talks about something negative about Chinese government but doesn't mention Uighurs if you come across one. I would like to keep it.

My contact information is pretty easy to find.

You don’t really need to look very far, see:

Look at any article that is negative and not about xinjiang. Eg China lending crisis doesn’t mention Uighurs at all. I personally recommend the Economist’s recent article in Tianjin’s current building bust. I mean, I saw derelict skyscraper husks when I first visited tianjin in 1999, that’s still a think in 2018???

I mean sure, if the article is about economics and real estate, then it is unlikely that it would include political stuff.

A more charitable interpretation of my comment would be that I am referring to stories on Chinese politics (human rights, surveillance, etc).

There are plenty of human rights abuses in eastern China against Hans even that get reported without mentioning Uighurs. I’m sure you can find a few those in the current stack of China articles from those sites, they make them easy to find.

Eg they released Liu Xiaobao’s widow today from imprisonment for...reasons. No references to xinjiang: https://www.wsj.com/articles/china-lets-widow-of-dissident-n...

First, that was from last month, before the Uighur issue was blowing up, not today.

Second, that was a positive followup to a negative story, not a new negative story.

[seanmcdirmid]

Only a Chinese could view that as a positive but ok; in the west we consider it negative because it reminds everyone she was imprisoned in the first place, not to mention her husband’s plight.

Sorry, I didn’t look at the time stamp, wsj just doesn’t cover China as frequently as they used to. Here is one from August 2nd on nyt: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/02/world/asia/china-sun-weng...

Oh, and if you consider safe vaccines a human right: https://www.economist.com/china/2018/07/26/a-vaccine-scandal...

Nary anything about xinjiang.
