Summary
The Uyghur militant group Turkistan Islamic Party (TIP), which played a role in toppling Syria’s Assad regime, has vowed to take its fight to China.
In a propaganda video, TIP fighters declared their mission to “liberate East Turkistan” from Chinese control, referencing cities in Xinjiang.
TIP has been active in Syria for over a decade, aligned with Islamist group HTS.
While their capabilities remain unclear, TIP’s rhetoric signals potential threats to China’s global assets. Beijing may push for their extradition, raising challenges for Syria’s new government and regional stability.
Well, we know the ML and hexbears are against this.
I literally saw this as a hexbear thread first. Somehow this is America doing this, and the only possible reason they could have is that America put them up to it, and as a result China needs to be more aggressive because they’re too passive and kind right now.
Hehe. That’s the spin they would use.
It’s nice to step out of the bubble every once in a while
Hey there! I was hoping one of you all would hop in to tell us how this is all western propaganda and how China isn’t mistreating anyone.
Gonna side with China or agree genocide and “reeducation” is wrong?
I’m not in the business of telling you how to think
But you could actually answer their question rather than obviously avoiding it.
I’m in the business of asking how you think. So how do you think? Wink twice if you need to be saved.
Lol, I live in the west. All I get is western propaganda. Seeing and hearing the other side feels nice.
The other side is what?
Average western news enjoyer
Still on that 80 year old East v West cold war propaganda stuff, eh?
So much for class solidarity 👉👈
You can get back to your war crime apologia now.
You’re gonna need more support from people in China.
Syrian rebels has the advantage of the people supporting the overthrow of Assad, there’s no widespread dissatisfaction with Xi, separatist movements would just get crushed (unless you had foreign intervention ahem USA Support), you need can’t just secede and get your freedom, you have to literally overthow Xi and the central government in Beijing, doesn’t seem that likely to me. Xi also has nukes which Assad didn’t.
That’s not the only way for them to win. They can also just take over a territory and perform gorilla warfare that costs China so much that they have to just give up. Is that likely to succeed? Probably not. It’s a lot more likely than trying to overthrow the entire Chinese government though.
