Moderate Rebels talks with professor Michael Hudson ... Give someone a fish and they can eat for a day. Teach them to fish and they can eat for a lifetime. Loan them enough to buy a fish and one can then take everything they have. Financial control is the new slavery. "New World Order" is neo-liberalism and Western hegemony (empire) - neo-feudalism.

With Hannah and Ben ... "So happy we decided to make a quick stop in Shaxi on our way from Dali to Lijiang. This small mountain village is absolutely gorgeous. There are so many fun shops, restaurants, and sites to see. If you are a fan of C-dramas, then you can't miss all the sites from the show Meet Yourself, starring Li Xian and Liu Yifei. The best way to get to Shaxi is by private car. If you don't know how to hire a car using Chinese apps, there are a lot of people offering driving services from Dali and Lijiang. We asked at our homestay in Dali and they gave us several recommendations. You can visit most of the old town in just one day but staying the night is recommended." With JHMedium ... "Halfway between Dali and Lijiang lies an ancient town that is more intimate, artistic, and far less commercialized than those two cities. This is Shaxi. Tucked away in Jianchuan County, Shaxi Ancient Town is beloved by artists and craftsmen from all over China but is still relatively unknown to international visitors. I can confidently say this town is a must-visit in Yunnan. We'll experience the local tie-dyeing, learn about the history of the Ancient Tea Horse Road, and explore the arts and crafts of this town. Join us on our trip to this charming little gem."

The XinJiang region, (north) west China, has been under Chinese rule since at least the 18th Century. While bombing Muslims everywhere else, the Uyghurs in China (a Turkic people in XinJiang) are a useful tool for Western attempts to destabilize and break up China. Just like the useful idiots in Hong Kong, and Tibet. The Uyghurs have autonomous regions, yet some fall under the Western spell (money) to push for unjustified 'independence'. The Main Stream Media (MSM), and much of the (often fake) 'independent media', in the West have been pushing a "repression" fable strongly for some time, using every propaganda trick in the book; plus the usual 'human rights' (you're free to do as you're told) and 'democracy' (you're free to choose one of the big money picks) scams. Yet wherever 'color revolutions' and invasions by the West have taken place, real repression followed. The MSM tell an, at first glance, convincing story - it sounds good ("how terrible!"), till one scratches the surface. In reality, the West doesn't really care less about the Uyghurs; it's all about trying to break up China. Emotionally charged lie - repeated ad nauseam. Don't be fooled. Uyghurs, Hong Kong organised crime and murderers extradition treaty 'protests', Tibet, 'trade war', South China Sea islands, etc., are all part of a total (all fronts) war on China. For now, it's predominantly an info war; but also a poke, poke, poke real war. And all because the US feels it has the right to rule the whole world (although it cannot even take care of itself). It's not the will of the American (and puppets) people; just the elite (some of).
