Nouvelle année, nouveau fil de mes lectures (mais cette fois sur Bluesky), histoire de me motiver à lire un minimum. Beaucoup de livres sur la Chine ou sur Taiwan, bien sûr, histoire de ne pas changer.

Everyone knows about Ahmed al-Ahmad, the Syrian Muslim migrant who took down one gunman. Another man, a Middle Eastern refugee, ran into a firefight and kicked the gun away from the other gunman. Police shot him, and bystanders kicked him in the head while he was down, thinking he was the terrorist.

In late 2020 a Chinese man called Guan Heng travelled to Xinjiang with our BuzzFeed map of detention facilities to provide ground truth for our work - he provided the first corroborating evidence for many sites.

He escaped to the US - then ICE detained him.

Shameful move, but also not a fan of how many people (including the Taiwanese government) want to frame this as democratic Taiwan and Israel vs undemocratic China and Palestine, what with China being a major economic and defence partner for Israel and barely lifting a finger for Palestine in decades

they were happy about the Blatter case because it seemed like a clean up and didn't realize that much more systematic reform was needed in order to remove the incentives to corruption and the structure that produces corrupt leaders. c.f. every Chinese anti-corruption campaign.
The world's wealthy liberal democracies looked the other way on FIFA's corruption for years because they didn't think corruption in sports was a big deal or worth addressing, and now find themselves looking at FIFA as a powerful, increasingly-integrated part of the far-right anti-democracy movement.

Huntington's thesis is relevant not because of meaningful analytical insights, but because it offered a template for contemporary reactionary civilizationism - not a clash, but a convergence in racial-civilizational discourse. btw I wrote a thing
