Hello!
This week, fabulous guest Darren Byler. Plus, three questions from our very smart listeners.
0:00 \\u2013 Friend of the show Darren Byler returns (don\\u2019t miss his earlier episode, from July, where he discusses his research on Xinjiang with Tammy and Andy) to reflect on what he (and Andy) heard on Mandarin Clubhouse over the weekend. There was a brief burst of discussion among Mandarin speakers of various ethnicities around the world, including many in the PRC, about what\\u2019s happening to Uyghurs in Xinjiang. Clubhouse has since been banned in the PRC, but the rooms continue to operate.\\xa0
Those interested in Darren\\u2019s work should read this recent piece on surveillance capitalism in Xinjiang.\\xa0Darren had also written about the types of stories told by Han Chinese residents of Xinjiang, which are similar to those that emerged on Clubhouse this weekend.\\xa0
39:40 \\u2013 As promised, we answer listener questions about:\\xa0
