In a move outraging China, the EU has awarded a defense of human rights prize to a jailed Uighur activist. The Chinese government issued a scathing statement dismissing the prize as irrelevant and calling the activist a terrorist. The Uighur are Chinese citizens, and the majority of them are Muslim. They are therefore both religiously …

They are therefore both religiously and ethnically different from the (officially) atheist Han majority.  China has done this before––it has actively pursued policies that “Sinicize” Tibet, who are both ethnically and religious different from the Han majority. According to the Chinese government, the Uighur––or at …

Former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, resigned his position after Trump announced troop withdrawal from Syria.
