Inflection EP10: More Xinjiang Lies + a Closer Look at China’s Infrastructure

We talk about the Associated Press’ smear piece on China’s security policies in Xinjiang province – a smear piece that contradicts its own reporting from 2017 when Xinjiang constituted a threat to not only China’s national security, but global security.

We also go in-depth on China’s infrastructure and how Beijing’s approach differs from the West – what it means for China and what it means for China’s Belt & Road partners.
