Sunday 12 will speak to many voices re the rising of the oppressed and ransacked Uyghurs of East Turkistan (China calls it Xinjiang), such as Nury Turkel, former director Uyghur American Association now director of the Uyghur Human Rights Project, a colleague of Rebiya Kadeer in Washington. Also Leslie Hook, Asia Wall Street Journal, at Hong Kong, re the politics of the suppression of the Ughurs a year after the suppression of the Tibetans in Lhasa. The Uyghurs are 45% of the Xinjiang population, while the Han Chinese are only 40, very different than in Tibet where the Han overwhelm the Tibetans. Will call B. Raman, Indian Intelligence, at Chennai, re the crisis in the CCP, and why panicky Hu rushed home form the G8 (loss of face) to Beijing. Rivalry in unelected leadership cadre? Also will speak to Gordon Fairclough, Wall Street Journal, who was in Urumqi during and after the riots. Mary Kissel, Asia Wall Street Journal, will comment on China, on Indonesia, and the sluggish attention to the critical East Asia by Obama administration.
