Great interview! Browder is coherent and articulate.
He makes good points that sanctions work, and how. Putin particularly hates them (and consequently, Browder) because sanctions target his ability to protect the graft he allows and channels in order to maintain loyalty, and consequently, his power.
I used to teach my Asia Pacific students about Han oppression of Xinjiang in the mid naughties and watched The 10 Conditions of Love-2009 coco about Rebiya Kadeer, so the long piece in the New Yorker was not a total surprise. However the extent of technological, physical and psychological control was nothing like the present day. As disturbing and enraging to read as that article was, the fear of appearing 'Sinophobic' in a Sydney university newspaper sends a chill through my freedom-of-speech sensibilities.

I understand keeps abreast of Russian malfeasance must preoccupy WB but any chance of shi ing a light on Xi Jinping ‘s obsession with Uighur?
Yes but in the meantime read the piece in the new New Yorker
