Thanks to Allah the almighty Jihad is still an allowed surname in the EU. I guess it is a sign of the health of the economy of the EU.

  They are deep in denial here on cultures whos main job it was to guarantee continous existance and not technological advances. Nice try.

China is an export driven economy. If a crash were to come, it would be because of a sudden lack of trade (e.g. 2008). Chinese companies are already heavily levered.

The xinjiang things are fully justified. Serious problems with terrorism, random knifings, random needle injections, etc. Very bad stuff. As long as china doesn't allow the han population to carry defensive weapons they have no choice but to suppress the murderous muslims there. You want to go to a restaurant or a store? Metal detector and xray machine for your bags. (My wife is originally from there and she has relatives who live there now).

  Maybe there are legitimate grudges the "murderous muslims there" have which are not addressed by the state? Like the right to political self-determination.
