    Two Uyghur/Xinjiang athletes representing China at Olympics btw.




    news-opinion/commentary


    Walihan Sailike in Greco-Roman Wrestling at 60kg, and
    Erbieke Tuoheta in <75kg Boxing.
    So much for claims of China removing or dehumanising Uyghur representation or culture.
    I can see the counter-claims from American Redditors already:

    • "Hur-dur, they are just being forced/family threatened."
    • "Yes that's right, Asian genes and mental strength are so damned superior that you can pluck a guy from a "concentration camp" and force them to compete and they can automatically become an Olympian. It doesn't take years of funding, facilities, support, training and dedication." /s

    More seriously, how many stolen-land Native "Indian" Americans represent USA? Zero.



    Recently I've read about some Uyghurs in the Chinese national basketball or volleyball teams as well.

    Funny enough I just did a quick google and there is an American player in the Xinjiang Flying Tigers team lol. This guy should speak out but he'll probably receive death threats and be condemned as paid shill by the God chosen, God loving Amerikkkans.

    Good old Twitter.

    This is the real reality of the CCP that you so disgustingly worship, Sabang...

    WTA chairman willing to pull out of China if tennis star Peng Shuai not fully accounted for


    The head of the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) Steve Simon has said he is willing to lose hundreds of millions of dollars worth of business in China if tennis player Peng Shuai is not fully accounted for and her allegations are not properly investigated. "We're definitely willing to pull our business and deal with all the complications that come with it," Simon said in an interview Thursday with CNN. "Because this is certainly, this is bigger than the business," added Simon.

    "Women need to be respected and not censored," said Simon.

    Peng, who is one of China's most recognizable sports stars, has not been seen in public since she accused former Vice Premier Zhang Gaoli of coercing her into sex at his home, according to screenshots of a since-deleted social media post dated November 2.

    Her post on Weibo, China's Twitter-like platform, was deleted within 30 minutes of publication, with Chinese censors moving swiftly to wipe out any mention of the accusation online. Her Weibo account, which has more than half a million followers, is still blocked from searchers on the platform.

    The forceful intervention from Simon puts the tennis chief on a likely collision course with authorities in China, which have so far refused to publicly acknowledge Peng's allegations. Perceived criticisms of China, which is also due to host the 2022 Winter Olympics in February, have previously resulted in significant public and political backlash, as well as loss of access.

    Simon said the WTA had been in conversation with counterparts at the Chinese Tennis Association, who had provided assurances Peng was unharmed in Beijing. However,attempts to reach Peng directly had proved unsuccessful.

    "We have reached out to her on every phone number and email address and other forms of contact," he said. "There's so many digital approaches to contact people these days that we have, and to date we still have not been able to get a response."

    Earlier this week, Chinese state-media released an email, purportedly sent to Simon from Peng, walking back her allegations and claiming she is fine.

    The alleged email was released only on English-language platforms and domestic Chinese media have not reported on its contents, despite Peng being a household name in China.

    When asked about the email, Simon questioned its veracity, describing it as a "staged statement of some type," noting he had yet to receive a follow up reply, despite responding immediately.

    "Whether she was coerced into writing it, someone wrote it for her, we don't know," said Simon. "But at this point I don't think there's any validity in it and we won't be comfortable until we have a chance to speak with her," he added.

    Tennis' popularity in China has grown rapidly over the past few decades, with several Chinese players breaking into the global rankings. The women's game, in particular, is a big market, thanks in part to the success of Chinese tennis star Li Na, who in 2011 became Asia's first grand slam singles tennis champion when she won the French Open, followed by a second major title at the 2014 Australian Open.

    In recent years, the WTA has made a big push into China. In 2019, the WTA Finals relocated from Singapore to the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen, entering into a lengthy ten year deal.
    In an interview with the New York Times from 2018, Simon described the arrangement with authorities in Shenzhen, which reportedly includes the construction of a new multimillion dollar tennis stadium, as a "huge opportunity" for women's tennis in China.

    "When you factor in the commitment to prize money and the commitments to the WTA, and you factor in the stadium build and real-estate elements, it's over a $1 billion dollar commitment they have made to the WTA Finals and the WTA," Simon was quoted as saying.

    On Thursday, Serena Williams joined a growing number of international tennis players to voice concern over Peng's whereabouts.

    "I am devastated and shocked to hear about the news of my peer, Peng Shuai. I hope she is safe and found as soon as possible," Williams wrote on Twitter. "This must be investigated and we must not stay silent."

    Tennis superstar Naomi Osaka on Tuesday said she was "in shock of the current situation."

    "Censorship is never OK at any cost, I hope Peng Shuai and her family are safe and OK," she wrote as part of a statement on Twitter alongside the hashtag #WhereIsPengShuai.

    The controversy risks impacting the forthcoming 2022 Winter Olympics, which are set to kick off in Beijing in less than three months. Calls for a boycott have been growing in recent months, owing to concerns over China's alleged human rights abuses. On Thursday, US President Joe Biden confirmed he is mulling a diplomatic boycott of the event.

    The international concern for Peng, who is a three-time Olympian, having represented China at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio, London in 2012, and Beijing in 2008, could now strengthen those calls.

    However, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has distanced itself from putting pressure on Chinese authorities.

    In a response to CNN, the IOC said: "Experience shows that quiet diplomacy offers the best opportunity to find a solution for questions of such nature. This explains why the IOC will not comment any further at this stage."

    Human Rights Watch accused the IOC of being "silent on the Olympian's disappearance." In a statement, the global rights group said it is "astonishing that the IOC would accept the government's assurances, particularly at the expense of a female Olympian making grave allegations."

    Speaking at a press conference Thursday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian said Peng's accusation is not a diplomatic issue and declined to comment further.

    It would be rather amusing if everyone pulled out of the Games. You just know the chinkies would bluster on and crow about how many medals they won, North Korea style.

    The Uyghur Tribunal’s sideshows expose further discrepancies and deceptions

    Among the tribunal’s participants was Omir Bekali, who was also featured in a CNN article report on a supposed former Chinese police officer referred to as “Jiang.” Jiang claims to have taken part in the abuses in Xinjiang.

    The CNN piece was clearly intended to reinforce the narrative that the Uyghur Tribunal seeks to cement in international media. Instead, it ended up producing what were perhaps the event’s most damning and contradictory claims.

    Although CNN called the alleged police officer Jiang, he was referred to as “Wang Leizhan” in the tribunal.

    In his testimony at the tribunal in June, Jiang said that he never participated in interrogations. Further, he stated they took place in an entirely separate facility.

    Yet Jiang was presented by CNN later in October as having not only presided over interrogations, but having carried out specific acts of torture while doing so.

    During the tribunal in June, Jiang claimed never to have witnessed sexual abuse of any kind and never even so much as asked about it. When talking to CNN, however, he discussed various types of sexual abuse he alleges took place, including rape.

    CNN never bothered to explain whether he saw this firsthand, heard it from others, or participated in it directly. CNN also never explained why his claims contradicted his statements during the June tribunal.

    Your 'Chinese detective' is no Charlie Chan. Neither is CNN.


    The ridiculous 'genocide' narrative is being wound back now, even by the western press. Just too damn embarrassing I suppose.

    What, Grayzone is now a Chinese apologist website? You're killing me. Suggest you do some homework.



    Soon, the "Uyghur genocide" will join 'incubator babies', the Gulf of Tonkin 'incident' and 'WMD' in the trash can of history- just occasionally brought up by awkward people like myself to remind gullible people like yourself how easily you are duped. But you will swallow the next blatant round of lies and propaganda like guppies just the same. Thus it has always been. Sigh.

    Oh, I could fill a century thread with all of the assurances about Saddams WMD being real- just by copy and pasting old TD threads! And of course, Saddam being a 911 plotter, and buying nuclear cooling tubes in the Congo. Of course, back then I was a muzzie sympathiser, or a terrorist apologist.

    There is no genocide in Xinjiang- face facts. Or don't, and I will just remind you of how gullible and wrong you were in future threads- something to look forward to.


    This nice Uyghur man must have been driven to drink by Chinese state brutality, e'hh snubs.

    That site is fucking joke, perfect for the anti-seppo conspiracy theorist of course.

    ^^ I lived and worked in HK 1992-2004 boney, met, married and divorced my first wife there- a HK Chinese whose parents had fled China during the Cultural revolution. Been to the PRC more times than I can count- wow, the changes I saw. So obviously I am a Chinese spy.


    ^ Nope, but as always you have introduced the comedy element 'arry.

    What....Honkers! 5555 I am a massive fan, love the island hopping, hiking, bus to Stanley with a 4 pack of cans etc pinned about a dozen notes in the smugglers inn. Yes, I imagine you saw quite a change in the mainland and a expedited change at that. I would have loved to have seen China in the 80's.

    You've seen more than many a visitor mate, they'd come for a 3-5 day shopping trip in HK & TST, maybe a side trip to Ocean Park and the Jumbo restaurant in Aberdeen- so of course now they were 'Old China Hands' LoL! I was a big fan of the islands btw- lived on Lamma for over a year, plus later my mate had a weekender on Cheung Sha Beach in Lantau. Oh, and weekend junk trips- yeh! Great times- pretty special to be there for the Handover too.

    Well my uncle lived there for a good decade and my cousin is still there, so I really had some good guidance from the getgo.

    Lamma and Lantau are wicked places, I think my cousin is moving to one of the two soon. I have a funny joke about Lantau island. The boys at Cathay Pacific all call it district nine because so many of the South African pilots live there. (If you don't get it, check the movie district 9 set in Jo'burg).

    The handover must have been a real moment, shame we don't have it anymore as it is a real jewel that place.

    Anyways, yes I know what you mean and it is a great shame. HK island is obviously an awesome places with all the levels, race track, Kowloon bay and the peak BUT there is so much to be seen around the islands and the ferry system is so good and cheap, you are mad to go there and not take maximum advantage of it. We have a tradition of always going to this place across Kowloon bay, does the best duck wraps in town..heard it's gone down hill now.

    Lei Yue Mun at a guess.
    district 9
    I knows it- good movie. Almost put me off prawns! There weren't that many saffa CX pilots back then actually, mostly pom & aussie, and a rising contingent of locals. Many became rich, by buying HK property with their outrageously high earnings. A good mate (and client) of mine, senior pilot, lived next door to George Harrisons estate in Henley- I kid you not.

    The Hangover (as we called it)- what a party! Glad to see the back of Chris Patten too frankly, wanka. Spent it at a mates place on Mt Butler, overlooking proceedings. One Party two Hangovers!

    Anyway, that's the way to see HK if you're fortunate enough- fall in with a crew of hard drinkin' expats! We certainly lived life to the full.

    I like the lingo, CX indeed!!

    Sounds like you definitely did Honkers the right way and indeed the only way. I have heard some hilarious stories and yes Patten was way too diplomatic but to be honest that was probably the sort of person you needed for a transition, there was nothing else to fight I guess, it was coming and that was it. Yeah one of my clients in London is exactly that type of family. Originally came from Shanghai after the war, made a tonne of money in property in HK, pre 1997 left and took it all to London and made even more, They still have a place in Stanley. I love that place, can't wait to go again!
