A major story often neglected by the press...

..so John goes there in an unusual way as is his custom.

A TikTok video on makeup application becomes a way to segue into the oppression and even ethnic cleansing of the Uighurs in China. Unlike the mainstream media, John goes there.

I remember during the last century there was a saying - "Never again" - when referencing what happened to the Jews in WWII. But I knew that was bunk. It would only be "never again" as long as it did not inconvenience anybody.

And in this episode John shows that indeed it is happening again, but there is so much money to be made in China, nobody seems willing to talk about it, much less do anything about it.

Highly recommended as the most detailed piece on the subject I've seen.
