China Uighurs: A model's video gives a rare glimpse inside internment
"Holding the camera with his right hand, he reveals his dirty clothes, his swollen ankles, and a set of handcuffs fixing his left wrist to the metal frame of the bed - the only piece of furniture in the room."

"sharing just a handful of plastic bowls and spoons between them all.

"the long arm of Chinese censorship – powered by vast economic incentives – has also reached deep into Hollywood, shaping perceptions, inculcating sensitivities and reshaping the bounds of what can be shown, said and told"

"Should access to Hong Kong and the mainland Chinese market ever be cut off, experts warn that HSBC would suffer an existential crisis."
