Just finished Sinostan, a book about china’s ambitions in Central Asia. I wouldn’t call it an extremely interesting read, but as I feel that these people are our most capable and intelligent adversary, I thought it was worth a read. From that standpoint, it didn’t disappoint. It’s also interesting to see how the Central Asians welcomed China in as a hedge against Russia and how we haven’t really tried to gain influence in this region even though it’s important

It also briefly details how bad the situation is in Xinjiang and how its evolved since Xi came to power. That section isn’t long but it’s very enlightening. In addition, it also touches on what a shit hole Afghanistan is and is probably destined to remain.

Back to Roman history. Just started Sulla, The Last Republican

Haha I was reading your post and thinking, man hes talking about these central asians, does he know they are the nazi asians? Then got to your Xinjang part.

You ever seen satalite photos of their cotton plantations? They bigger than the south. Right next to a prison for Uyghurs the size of the south.

It's one book out of a DIY encyclopedia series. I'll check when I get home.

I meant the Chinese were our most capable adversary

It was an interesting read for a variety of reasons. The picture they painted in xinjiang was essentially North Korea but more sophisticated and the closest thing on earth to an Orwellian society. For instance, you need a QR code to buy gas and the authorities monitor the amount you purchase and your car’s gas mileage and fuel tank size + odometer to make sure you aren’t buying gas to make a bomb

That’s just one example

yeah sounds interesting - we're just behind them. My insurance is trying to sell me on this shit where they monitor my car for a discount when I prove im good at driving. I was like are you friggen nuts!?

Seriously.

Everyone should read it.

I was banned from this forum for linking to it, so be careful.

Guys, thank you very much. Thank you for expanding my list of must-read books.

I've wanted to read more for a long time but never had the time. More precisely, I read but only professional literature on medicine, my work in a company https://www.nursingpaper.com/our-ser...iting-service/ obliges me to do this. To write good articles, I must have a good command of medical terminology. But I promise myself by the end of the year to read more books that change my worldview.
