The situation for Uighurs is horrific and for other minorities caught up in struggles against similar ruthless super powers. All of that for her daughter being photographed in France waving a flag banned by the Chinese government.

China's actions within China and the immediate surrounding areas and its influence over its neighbours and attempts to export this power and influence world-wide is very worrying.
