My thoughts today:

Chinese government messaging about Xรญ Jรฌnpรญng ไน ่ฟ‘ๅนณ in Xinjiang has continued unabated since Friday. Todayโ€™s top story on the English website of Xinhua News Agency is titled โ€œXi Jinping’s inspection tour of Xinjiang,โ€ and it sets out quite clearly official thinking on the province and the different ethnic groups who live there. In brief:

Minorities must assimilate, and the province must become an economic hub on a new Silk Road.

Our word of the day is: Heavy rain has hit several areas (ๅคšๅœฐ้ญ้‡ๅผบ้™้›จ่ขญๅ‡ป duล de zฤoyรน qiรกng jiร ngyว” xรญjรญ).
