Everyone's pretty much on the same page.
I mean, there are extremes who are hesitant to criticize China, but I would say they're the extremes.
But nevertheless, and even though, let's say, the Uyghur issues in Hong Kong gets a fair amount of press coverage, I don't think it captures the imagination of my contemporaries and peers.
Perhaps this is because Uyghur culture is so alien.
This is another thing, maybe one of the reasons why we got so... George Floyd captured the imagination all the way over here, and it's probably about the same, similar distance to how far away the Xinjiang is from here, is because we're so marinated in American culture growing up that it feels like our culture, whereas not only is...
is Xinjiang, a remote province of China, which is completely unfathomable to us.
But China itself, even though it's the biggest country in the world, I don't think it's something we're educated on at all.
Talk about being not educated on communism earlier.
We're not educated on China at all.
I certainly wasn't.
And it's really difficult because the language is very strange.
or like very different to ours.
It's a difficult, complicated, long history.
And so China, generally speaking, I think is something we should all be striving to understand better.
But the Uyghur, that specific ongoing tragedy, I think needs more attention.
And for any guests who are interested in learning more about the Uyghurs, I recommend following Rahima Mahmood, who is in Britain.
She's a Uyghur who, she's also a singer, and she does various performances in which we've been working together, putting on cultural events together in the UK to try and
enlighten or try and show us the other side about Uyghurs that isn't just the horrible things that are happening to Uyghurs.
What is Uyghur culture?
What is Uyghur food?
