What the Heck?! Thread (Closed)

Maybe short-term, but not long-term because Turkey views Xinjiang as "East Turkestan" and that's a no-go area for China.

It seems ridiculous that Turkey would want a stake in Xinjiang considering that they're separated by a dozen countries.

I saw this a few hours ago but didn't have time to post it then, and had just wanted to post this story now that I have time, which I found to be interesting.

But turns out it is a lot more interesting than I first thought.

All I originally wanted to point out was the hypocrisy of how the media keeps repeating their party line lie that China doesn't have a Uighur terrorist problem and how (always unnamed) western intelligence officials dispute Chinese claims the Uighurs are part of international jihadist terrorists networks, but this development challenges that.

Note that this story was only published 4 hours ago, which would have been 2pm GMT, on a Thursday, so traffic would have been very light as the lunchtime break would have been over and everyone would be back at their desks working rather than browsing the news.

Now, the interesting additional insight this story gives us is how the western main stream media supresses news they don't want the public to see, while still maintain the facade of claiming to not censor news.

Just go to the BBC website and try to find this story without specifically searching for it. Can't find it can you?

I couldnt even find this again after going to all the BBC articles related to the nightclub attack, and none of them links back to this article. Not even the ones this article itself links to.

Unless you just happened to have seen this in the few hours it was featured on the BBC News World home page, like I did, anyone casually checking the news, or even specially researching this attack just simply won't ever see this article.

The only way to find it now is if you specifically searched for it using keywords.

So, the BBC gets to effectively stop the overwhelming majority of its readers from ever knowing about this development, but they have evidence that they did indeed publish it, so Irs very hard to prove what they have done unless you caught them red handed by chance like I did.

The Chinese censors still have a lot to learn from the western media masters.

In "Olympic" of treachery and cunning, BBC and its likes are the undefeatable champions.

But Turkey was doing just that for the past decades, especially recently, Erdogan's "genocide" accusation, "fake" Turkish passport to Uyghur fugitives etc.

Yes, it is ridiculous, but does not surprise me at all. Symptom of over-inflated ego and ambition, not only the person but quite lot in the ruling echelon. It was equally ridiculous that Turkey acted in the way it did against Russia recently. Try to do something in Syria alone is one thing, poking the Russian is totally another thing. If the Sultan and people behind him dare to poke the Russians who is much closer to the Turkish soil, poking China would be an even better deal without the risk of being knocked physically. The Sultan would not be the Sultan if he did not poke China.

Regarding cooperation with China, maybe, that depends of what area. I expect China would not rush, but take some time to watch the Sultan's acts, he is not a person of much trustworthiness, but a perfect opportunist, proven by his acts towards China, Russia, EU and USA.

How common is in China? Crazy stuff boiling a dog alive and laughing about it. I'm not against eating dogs but that seems to be pure sadism.

If you look at it objectively several people happen to be laughing while cooking. Not a big deal and certainly not sadism.

Doesn't look like he can shoot and ride at the same time.

Some people just have too much time and money on their hands!

As for Somebody, This was done by a Company for collectors with the proper licensing IE a concept bike.

Seems that the Turks do not bother to hide although they were pretty loud if not louder in defending these terrorists when they (the terrorists) were in China, and tried so hard to bring them to Turkey from Thailand and other SE Asian countries.

I would have expected that Turkey wanting to hide it more than BBC to avoid the embarrassment.

ISIL are known to use people living in the targeted countries to carry out bombings since they are more inconspicuous. The Turkish government should know that and that this method of using Uighurs is an exception and does not make those living in Turkey suspect. The Uighurs do not have any grievance against Turkey and as long as using Uighurs is not common, we can rule out any standing collaboration between China and Turkey for intelligence on the Uighurs.
