Dan KristosGUEST
They're going to co-opt it and make it their own and it's going to be reflective of their values.
Dan KristosGUEST
So that's I mean, that's what I see, because even in the you know, when you look at the Uyghur text and stuff like that, you see the 12 labor labors basically.
Dan KristosGUEST
And that's repeated.
Dan KristosGUEST
in Hercules and Ninurta, I believe.
Victoria CvitanovicGUEST
I have a book here on my desk that I would highly recommend called The Backstreets.
Victoria CvitanovicGUEST
That is a translation from the Uyghur language about what's happening and what happened to people who wrote this book in China.
Victoria CvitanovicGUEST
And their perspective is one that we don't see translated into English quite a lot.
Victoria CvitanovicGUEST
There's another book called Secondhand Time that is a translation of interviews with people who lived through the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Joe ThomasHOST
Why? When you look around, I mean, it's one thing to go to Darfur, and those people aren't committing suicide.
Joe ThomasHOST
How is it people in an abject—you don't see the Uyghurs committing suicide, and this, to their chagrin, China must kill them because we can't get them to kill themselves.
Joe ThomasHOST
So what are we doing? What is happening? What is Kirk Cobain and these famous people who seem to have, or at least we would think on this consumption end of it, everything they could want? Carrot Top has created a brand that's gone on forever.
Joe ThomasHOST
Isn't brand identity a big deal? Isn't that what it's all about? Apparently not.
Harper ReedGUEST
I think we have to have this idea that, that they, that, that, that, can we can hold some contradictions in our head i think is is important to to have in general to survive in this world does
Leo LaporteHOST
not serve us one of the reasons i was glad to hear about at least a little bit of agreement between the china and the united states is what does not serve us is one of the things that we are doing right now which is making an enemy of china i i understand human rights yeah that's not smart and so so forth but what do you want you want a war with China or do you want peace with China it seems like a very straightforward choice so it's an existential threat we do not want to go to war with China well we would and what would be good to prevent that is to acknowledge our economic interdependence our reliance on one another you know that gives you some leverage in human rights issues like the Uyghurs and so forth that gives you yeah some And coming
Harper ReedGUEST
off of a losing war in Iran, we're ready for it.
Ian ThompsonPANELIST
I hope we are.
Christiane AmanpourGUEST
Or in a world which is not chaos, China's world is not chaos, but for many it's malevolent.
Christiane AmanpourGUEST
Do you want to live in a maximum surveillance world? Do you want to live in a world where you have maybe money and wealth and progress but no personal or political liberties? Do you want to live in a world where a whole segment of society, it's like a million Uyghurs are in concentration camps? Trump 1.0 called it genocide.
Christiane AmanpourGUEST
I don't
Sam FragosoHOST
think they're doing that right now.
Seamus2389HOST
could be worse.
Seamus2389HOST
It could be genocide in the Uyghurs.
dakazuHOST
I suppose.
dakazuHOST
Let's see.
AbbasHOST
It would drive them insane.
AbbasHOST
And one of the things that we've seen, especially in Gaza, right, not to say that the suffering in many other countries around the world, in Syria and in the Rohingya Muslims in, you know, in Myanmar, Burma, and also the Uighur Muslims and what have you.
AbbasHOST
Not to say that they haven't had many people there as well who have been extremely patient through adversity, but we've seen it live on our screens, on our phones, and on our computers, basically, where people in Gaza who are losing
ImranHOST
entire families,
BrianHOST
They don't like to give them.
BrianHOST
And they don't want to hear about the Uyghurs, so they still want to hear about democracy.
BrianHOST
They also want to talk about development.
BrianHOST
They believe in the past that we have tried to hinder their development as a world power.
Joe ThomasHOST
The sizzle reel is what they call this.
Joe ThomasHOST
And everyone, including Netflix, was ready to publish this as long as they dropped the episode about the Uyghurs.
Joe ThomasHOST
Why would the targeting of ethnic cleansing on a community based on their religious belief be against Netflix programming since all the other episodes of Exile were about religious persecution and genocide? Oh, that's right.
Joe ThomasHOST
It's because it's China doing the exterminations.
