About this episode
Here is part two of Jerm's trip to China, in which he and Carl Zha discuss the geopolitical and cultural history of Xinjiang, the heart of China's Belt and Road Initiative—a massive global infrastructure and economic connectivity project aimed at reviving ancient Silk Road trade routes, linking Asia, Europe, and Africa through railways, ports, and energy pipelines.
They cover talking points around the Uyghurs and other minorities in the province, explaining why the area remains so politically sensitive, with Carl, an American-Chinese journalist, political commentator, and podcast host known for his Silk and Steel Podcast exploring China, history, culture, and politics, asserting there is no Uyghur genocide but that the Chinese government did crack down on what it deemed radical Islam, backed by Western intelligence agencies like MI6.
