Eleonora Aloise told the story of the tennis player Yunchaokete Bu, born in 2002 in Xinjiang, in the Mongolian community of Bortala. According to the author, his original name was Buyunchaokete, written all together, because surnames were not used in the community. Aloise added that the ATP would have derived a surname by separating the name and that he was called Bu or Bert. In her story, Bu's father died before his birth, and after his mother remarried and moved away, the child was entrusted to his paternal grandparents. Pastors who did not know Mandarin and lived with limited means, the grandparents sent him to the SOS Children’s Village in Urumqi so that he could study. Aloise wrote that when Bu was five years old, the youth tennis coach Luo Yong arrived at the center to engage the kids in physical activities. In the post, she attributed the discovery of the boy's talent to Lu Yang: according to Aloise's words, Bu was neither the fastest nor the strongest, but the one who worked hardest. The coach then proposed that he transfer to his sports center in Huzhou, 3,000 kilometers from Bortala, and Bu agreed. Aloise described the journey as a series of coincidences and detours, evoking the legendary names of the region and comparing the opportunity Bu received to a letter from Hogwarts. She concluded by suggesting that his more suitable name could be Jangar, the protagonist of the local epic. #tennis #tennis #storia #sport (translated)
In a report from 2022, the then-UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet spoke of possible 'crimes against humanity' against Uyghurs and other Muslim minorities. #Starbucks #Xinjiang #mensenrechten (translated)
"Every cup of coffee sold in those locations connects an iconic American brand to the brutal campaign of the Chinese Communist Party against the Uyghurs. Starbucks must immediately reverse that decision and close the locations in Xinjiang," said chairman John Moolenaar. #Starbucks #Xinjiang #mensenrechten (translated)
Starbucks is receiving sharp criticism from American politicians due to the opening of new locations in Xinjiang, which is accused of serious human rights violations against the Uyghur Muslim population. #Starbucks #Xinjiang #mensenrechten (translated)
Vandaag treedt in NL het handelsverbod in werking op de invoer, aankoop en verkoop van goederen uit gedeelte van Jeruzalem, Judea en Samaria en de Golan. Deze maatregel is willekeurig en discriminerend. Nederland kiest ervoor om specifiek goederen uit deze gebieden te weren, terwijl producten uit talloze andere omstreden gebieden wereldwijd gewoon welkom blijven op de Nederlandse markt. Neem de Golanhoogte: een gebied met een fundamenteel andere historische, politieke en demografische context dan de Westelijke Jordaanoever. De VS erkenden in 2019 formeel de Israëlische soevereiniteit over de Golanhoogte. Nederland kiest er niettemin voor dit gebied onder dezelfde noemer te plaatsen. Ook de Joodse wijk in de Oude Stad van Jeruzalem, met haar eeuwenoude Joodse geschiedenis, wordt in deze benadering meegenomen. Zolang je wel Turkse dadels kunt kopen uit een land dat al decennia Noord-Cyprus bezet of Marokkaanse producten uit de Westelijke Sahara, en Chinese goederen ondanks de ernstige mensenrechtelijke kritiek rond onder meer Xinjiang en Tibet, is het niet vol te houden dat hier sprake is van een consequent toegepaste internationale rechtsnorm. Als internationaal recht werkelijk de maatstaf is, zou die maatstaf consequent en zonder selectiviteit moeten worden toegepast. Gelijke behandeling betekent dat je dezelfde maatstaf aanlegt voor iedereen. Doe je dat niet, dan verander je het recht in willekeur met een juridisch sausje. Het doet denken aan duistere tijden. Dit selectieve discriminerende handelsverbod zal als een boemerang terugkomen. Mark my words. #handelsverbod #Nederland #internationaalrecht

Four years ago, the OHCHR found that Beijing had committed "serious human rights violations" in Xinjiang that could amount to crimes against humanity. Four years later, there is zero accountability. The High Commissioner has not mentioned the report during Human Rights Council https://t.co/jODDBxqxRC #HumanRights #Xinjiang #Accountability #CN
After years of work, I'm pleased to publish my research method — "Investigative Policy Analysis" (IPA) — in the peer-reviewed journal Qualitative Research (SAGE). This is the method that played a key role in uncovering Xinjiang's atrocities.

Satelitske snimke otkrile su da Kina u pustinji Xinjiang izgrađuje repliku američkog razarača klase Arleigh Burke koja će vjerojatno služiti kao meta za testiranje vojnih raketa, što dodatno naglašava mogućnost sukoba između Kine i Sjedinjenih Država. #Kina #sukob #satelitskesnimke
Satelitske snimke otkrile su u kineskoj pustinji Xinjiang trodimenzionalnu repliku američkog ratnog razarača klase Arleigh Burke, što vojni analitičari smatraju dokazom da KINA intenzivno testira napredne oružane sustave za moguće uništavanje američkih brodova usred rastećih geopolitičkih napetosti. #Kina #ratniBrod #vojnaAnaliza
Kina je u pustinji Xinjiang izgradila trodimenzionalnu repliku američkog razarača klase Arleigh Burke, koja će se koristiti kao meta za uvježbavanje protubrodskih udara, što ukazuje na ozbiljnost Pekinga u pripremama za eventualni oružani sukob sa Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama. #Kina #SjedinjeneAmeričkeDržave #ArleighBurke
Kina je u pustinji Xinjianga izgradila 3D repliku američkog razarača USS Fitzgerald, koja služi kao meta za testiranje kineskih raketa i poboljšanje vojnih sposobnosti napada na američke brodove, čime šalje jasnu poruku o svojoj pripremljenosti za potencijalni sukob. #kina #Tajvan #Razarač klase Arleigh Burke
