In this week’s episode of China Insider, Miles Yu reviews Xi Jinping’s recent trip to Xinjiang to commemorate the seventieth anniversary of the region’s founding, and the significance of this visit in contrast to Beijing’s ongoing persecution of the Uyghur people. Next, Miles unpacks the latest developments within the Chinese Communist Party’s influence operations and misinformation campaigns against Taiwan, which aim to provoke instability and conflict between the Democratic Progressive Party–led executive and Kuomintang-controlled Legislative Yuan. Finally, Miles discusses President Donald Trump’s recent statements at the United Nations General Assembly regarding the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and what this could mean for China and its perceived role in the conflict.
