Looking forward to reading from The Casualties in Stockholm next week. Event details here.
The ‘perfect police state’
Two very good pieces from Xinjiang this week – one, a look at the securitisation of Xinjiang by Tom Philips in The Guardian (in which I am quoted), the other a nice piece of reporting from Bortala in Xinjiang by Edward Wong from the New York Times.
The China Journal
Thanks to Timothy A. Grosse for his generous review of China’s Forgotten People in The China Journal.
Coming out in September

I wrote a piece on Ian Johnson’s remarkable book about the rebirth of religion in China for Literary Review.
