      Oh that Darren Byler dude's on there too. He's presented as the reasonable Uyghur advocate but I see he keeps shit company it seems on top of being slightly suspicious anyway.

        I checked some of his talks out before. He's pushing for sanctions as a solution to mistreatment of Uyghurs. When have sanctions ever made a country go "oh you're right we will change our ways"?

        I find it hard to trust someone who proposes that we should try to do what amounts to undermining poverty alleviation efforts in Xinjiang as a solution to anything.
