"A new state-produced musical set in Xinjiang inspired by the Hollywood
blockbuster “La La Land” has hit China’s cinemas, portraying a rural idyll of
ethnic cohesion devoid of repression, mass surveillance and even the Islam of
its majority Uyghur population.
China is on an elaborate PR offensive to rebrand the north-western region where
the United States and other western nationals and human rights groups say
genocide has been inflicted on the Uyghurs and other Muslim minorities."
Via Glyn Moody, who wrote "go home, china, you’re drunk (on your own
propaganda…)"
