    Wow the market place was quite an adventure. Islamic influence while they also spoke Chinese. The food selection was quite something too. Big bootie sheeps and those T shirts totally topped it off. 😂... Americans like Katherine makes America great! Keep up the good world Katherine, sharing China to the world.

    Fun fact - those are not "boxing pillows" or "Xinjiang hand pillows" - they are indeed, oven gloves for slapping naan on the wall of the oven :). That hand gesture the old man demonstrated with the "pillow" wasn't a haymaker punch. It was the movement of slapping on the naan.

      important? especially with usa govt officials & media keep demonizing slander bad mouthing China. Round up multiple groups of allies to surround & contain China. Trade war, sanctions and the latest, trying to ban or force takeover of tiktok as its the biggest social media now with the decline of mete/fb, tweeter, IG, google etc. Stiring military tension with north korea, taiwan, South China seas. Very good & important building relationship indeed. very american way.

    I hope Katherine don't feel too bad about what the guy said about Americans, I was there in 2009 talking to some locals and they did tell me they didn't like Americans, mainly because what happened in Iraq, Iran and later Afghanistan, some even celebrated after 911, we (the whole western countries) do have very bad reputation in Islamic world, and not even because "Chinese government" told them so, or "they lost their jobs due to the new act".

      @tubsy101 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      @@123-h5i5y The act establishes a 'rebuttable presumption' of forced labor, which is slightly more nuanced than you are stating. Basically, goods can be imported from the region if they meet some level of assurance that they weren't produced through forced labor. It puts more bureaucracy into the supply chain in this case. Is the act politically motivated and will it unfairly affect people from the region? Unfortunately, I would have to say yes to both these points. It's a tricky political situation even outside the current tensions between the countries. Once you have established in law the credible evidence of forced labor, politicians in both parties will claim it is establishing an unfair competitive advantage to cotton trade from other countries that have a higher overhead by not using forced labor, thus leading to unethical competitive practices.

    Telling the little kid Americans are bad - Hahahaha, you made my day. It's got to reach a wider USA audience. LOL
    Seriously, thanks again for this viewing experience. I wish I could go there after the pandemic. After all, it's not like you can see so many big bare butts in a single day. I had been to a NZ salesyard before. I remember the smell and the slurry underfoot. The Kashgar yard is definitely way more interesting.

      Apparently, Xinjiang lamb doesn't have the very smelly lamby taste. I learned this after watching an Uyghur influencer visiting Shanghai and not able to handle the strong lamb taste there. She said, it's too smelly. I guess there is just something special about Xinjiang lambs.

    This kind of livestock market was (is still?) common in my hometown when I was a kid, but it was for pigs and bulls. The animal smell is very strong, so I have been there for only a couple of times during my childhood.

    Those "butts" are storage of fat and is highly valued in nomadic societies. Its generic name is 'sheep tail fat' and is used in cooking, as home remedies and in beauty products.
