"China's efforts to subdue the turkic-speaking Uyghurs in the Xinjiang region
will be familiar to Techdirt readers. International awareness is increasing,
too, not least thanks to the diplomatic boycott of the Beijing Winter Olympics
that the US and other countries have announced. That presents an interesting
challenge to the Chinese authorities: how to counter the growing evidence of
pervasive surveillance and large-scale arrests of the Uyghurs. Using official
outlets like China's Global Times is one way, but its articles are easily
dismissed as crude propaganda. Much more interesting is the approach described
by the New York Times, which looks at how China is helping Western YouTubers to
report on the country"
