For example, the use of sex slaves known as comfort women was systematic and widespread in Korea, China, Thailand, and many other countries under the yoke of the Japanese at the time.
Chris StewartHOST
In spite of holding the Western reaches in their entirety since the end of the prior century, it wouldn't even be until nearly a century later, the 1860s and 70s, that the quote-unquote modern transformation of Inner Asia would truly begin.
Chris StewartHOST
They would be kicked off by the Muslim rebellions of that period, both the more widely known Donggan rebellions of the Hui people across the northwestern frontiers of Shanxi, Gansu, and Xinjiang, but also the Panthei rebellion that gripped Yunnan over much of the same period.
Chris StewartHOST
many empires seem to come about becoming, well, empires, in an almost haphazard, Mr. Magoo-esque fashion.
Chris StewartHOST

Chris StewartHOST
For those myriad peoples beyond the frontiers who might still be on the fence about whether they should throw their support behind Kangxi or Galdan, the Qing emperor wanted to be clear that they would be expected to pick a side and that there was only one correct choice.
Chris StewartHOST
As such, he printed hundreds of leaflets and distributed them among the Mongol princes, stressing that Galdan had violated the teachings and ways of the Dalai Lama, invaded the Qing frontier, violated his treaty with the Qing, and tried to use the Mongol princes, Russians, and even the Hui Muslims of oasis towns like Hami and Turfan, quote, in order to plot to conquer China and set up a Muslim as its ruler, end quote.
Chris StewartHOST
This was all, we well know by now, completely made up.
Chris StewartHOST
But it sounded possible, it sounded official, so it must be true, right? To that itself, it quickly became evident, was a situationship all its own.
ClaudGUEST
both in and outside of the deaf community, and maybe because of the restaurant as well.
ClaudGUEST
Um, but we kinda got thrusted into the Hui Muslim community-
BenHOST
That's awesome
ClaudGUEST
... and, you know, it was-
ClaudGUEST
He was just so well-known, both in and outside of the deaf community, and maybe because of the restaurant as well.
ClaudGUEST
But we kind of got thrusted into the Hui Muslim community.
ClaudGUEST
That's
Ben WestenHOST
awesome.
ChenHOST
And that's because of my mom and my mom's family come from Changping District.
ChenHOST
Changping has a huge Hui Muslim population.
ChenHOST
And that's why, like I mentioned before, I'm half Hui, half Manchu.
ChenHOST
Changping, the name, it literally means flourish, peace.
Hans van de VenGUEST
I think the, the creation of a secular Turkey, um, creates a question or creates a way in which, you know, the caliphate is gone.
Hans van de VenGUEST
Uh, so the idea that there's a caliphate to which all Muslims around the world will somehow see that as the supreme Ultimate authority.
Hans van de VenGUEST
That goes away, and you get these debates in Muslim circles about, so, well, if we're going to have some sort of modern Islam that is opposed to Western imperialism but also embraces the state, then you get all kinds of Muslim nationalist movements that have come out of that, and those are quite strong.
Hans van de VenGUEST
For instance, in, uh, Indonesia, very powerfully so, um, as well as in India.
Hans van de VenGUEST
And so there is this...
Hans van de VenGUEST
So I think the First World War has sort of three nodes from which it really impinges on political social developments across Asia.
Hans van de VenGUEST
One is the October Revolution, then there's Woodrow Wilson's speech, Woodrow Wilson's, uh, arguments about self-determination, and then, uh, sort of the, the impact o-on Islam of having a secular state, uh, in which Muslims can find a new future and the kind of debate that that sets loose.
Hans van de VenGUEST
And of course, Islam was very much...
ChenHOST
And then I was like, huh, I haven't done an episode or, you know, a series about this at all so far.
ChenHOST
So far, I've been talking about the landmarks and my own ethnicity, identity, Hui Muslim Quarter.
ChenHOST
They have been very, very fun.
ChenHOST
Don't get me wrong.
