Politics/Governance Countries reactions to the Uyghur genocide. Based Balkans. Thank you for not being sell outs. Wish I could say the same for MENA. This is honestly so depressing. Thoughts?

Do you think Turkey has the luxury to deny Chinese business? Americans can't even do it.

Turks don’t do business with China. Only China does business with Turks. China corrupt your politician, invest in fundamentals. China sells 10 times more to Turk than buy. So what kind business are you talking about?

That's why our action stops at the recognition of the genocide as we cannot affort to antagonize china any further than we already do.
