Editor’s Note for Monday, July 18, 2022
A note for Access newsletter readers from Jeremy Goldkorn.

My thoughts today:
Chinese government messaging about Xรญ Jรฌnpรญng ไน ่ฟๅนณ in Xinjiang has continued unabated since Friday. Todayโs top story on the English website of Xinhua News Agency is titled โXi 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 (ๅคๅฐ้ญ้ๅผบ้้จ่ขญๅป duล de zฤoyรน qiรกng jiร ngyว xรญjรญ).
