Adrian Zenz is a fundamentalist Christian from Germany who is the foremost western expert and the source for most information on the "Uyghur genocide", despite having never visited China.

He's certainly the most cited in mainstream news because he's so sensationalist with his bullshit, but on Uyghur repression and Uyghur identity in China studies there's a range of left wing scholarly work published over the last 3 decades. You just don't see any of it because most of it is paired up with either strongly critiquing global capitalism, or the US war on terror.

You can check out the work of James Millward, Mark Elliott, Dru Gladney, Pamela Kyle Crossley, Rian Thum, Gardner Bovingdon, Judd Kinzley, Darren Byler, Sean Roberts, Ildikó Bellér-Hann, David Brophy, Justin Jacobs, Rebecca Karl, and Elise Anderson.

Do you have any plans for the july 4th NSA protests?

It's more common to skip in specific classes than a grade. I'm your age and in high school but take a few college courses. A lot of districts have a weird no grade skip policy which makes people like me end up with half highschool half college. We do have the option to do dual hs and college jr. And senior year though.
