On July 27 I was delighted to host a discussion with Dr. David Tobin of the University of Sheffield (UK) through the New Lines Institute for Strategy and Policy.

In our discussion, I asked David a series of questions about his his April 2022 report “The ‘Xinjiang Papers’: How Xi Jinping commands policy in the PRC”, in particular trying to tease out precisely how the leaked documents he analyzed implicate the highest levels of PRC party-state leadership in atrocity crimes in the Uyghur Region. We also discussed Xi’s July 2022 visit to the region and what it might portend for the future of party-state policy there.

There’s a little something for everyone here, regardless of level of expertise. Watch the full video here:
