The "Xinjiang Police Files" document the scale and brutality
with which the Chinese state oppresses its mainly Muslim Uyghur
minority. The cache's publication comes at a time when many
are thinking — and speaking out — about values-based foreign policy.

German politicians have expressed shock. Foreign Minister
Annalena Baerbock called for a transparent investigation.
Human rights, "which Germany is committed to protect globally,
" are a fundamental part of the international order, Germany's
Foreign Office said in a statement.

In addition to rethinking their policies towards Russia,
policymakers are now questioning relations with Beijing,
with renewed urgency after the Uyghur files were leaked.

China addiction may be a lot harder nut to crack than
Russian energy addiction ....

China is into EVERYTHING at EVERY level. If it's made
it's either Made In China or at least with a lot of
Chinese parts.

The USA seems in an even worse position relative to
China. MORE of our basic stuff and industry totally
dependent on the PRC. No, it was not a Lefty scheme
at all either ... just the natural logic of
capitalism. China made it cheaper, so ......

The other day Joe said the USA would protect Taiwan,
and his WH puppetmasters were walking that back a
mile within a few minutes. The USA is a five-fix
a day junkie so far as Chinese goods and money are
concerned. (and the Puppetmasters LOVE the PRC too
just because it claims to be Marxist/Maoist and
can HURT that horrible awful evil Western Civ)
