A Chinese court in the troubled western province of Xinjiang has sentenced an ethnic Uighur journalist to 15 years in prison for "endangering state security" by speaking to foreign reporters. Niyaz, 51, gave an interview to a Hong Kong newspaper one month after riots broke out in Xinjiang, leaving at least 197 people dead and 1,600 injured.
Should this matter to us in the West? Yes, in my opinion. Should we be doing business with such a brutal gang? No, in my opinion. Will our leaders care? No, in my opinion. Will it stop them doing business? Definitely not, in my opinion. My conclusion? We live in a World with a bunch of pricks as Leaders.
Does it matter? Does it fuck! BUT IT SHOULD.

The guy was lucky not to get a bullet in the back of his head. Don't let your heart get in the way of business - there's a fortune to be made letting the Chinese coolies do the manufacturing of all the crap sold in Walmarts the world over.
DL can you see the Polis?
Test. I will email the queef.
Scunnert, I don't underestimate the potential of our World leaders to make sure all is rosy with China, when they are spending all over the World and enriching said leaders in turn. It's just not right though.
INCOMING!!!! Yes, and the only strange thing I notice is the fact that he has English script on his jacket. Why would he need that in Xinjiang?
Stoker, welcome to the blog. Tell me how you get on!
Banned, you may have a point there. We've got enough in Scotland, time we pulled up the drawbridge!
