What did you think of todays' episode?
I've been asked a few times now to do an episode over the Uyghurs or Uighurs. Because my knowledge of Chinese history a part from overall world history and interactions on the international stage is so limited, I was hesitant. But, I did research, and still cannot pronounce a thing.
In this solo episode, I go over the history of the Uighurs--where are they located, their ethnicity, religion, their overall culture--and then their history of interactions with China starting in the early 20th century. Because of how China is with concealing information, it is a consistent conflict over gathering information from that region or China about the long standing history of the Uighurs in the Xinjiang region.
