I went to Xinjiang, China to find out if America was lying about the Uyghurs. It's weird because American media doesn't seem particularly fond of Chinese people nor Muslims, yet they're incredibly worried about Chinese Muslims.

I'm currently in China and it's not uncommon to see shit.

As a matter of fact, yesterday I saw a beggar with a horrendous wound on his leg and it looks like he will die of infection, or in the very least loose his leg. Unfortunately the state run social healthcare here isn't as lucrative as laying on the street where hundreds of tourists pass by.
