Tomorrow we plan to hold our China Weekly Hangout on the global aspirations of China's internet companies. (Here is our initial announcement.) 
Confirmed guest for tomorrow are Steven Millward of Tech in Asia (aka @SirSteven) and Paul Denlinger of the China Vortex. 
We are working on a few others, and if you want to join the official hangout, raise your hand at our official event page. Both here and at our event page, you will shortly before the start of the event (10pm Beijing time, 3pm CET and 9pm EST) see the YouTube link to the hangout. If you have questions or remark, please put them at our event page.
Moderation is done by Fons Tuinstra of the China Speakers Bureau.
Tomorrow's China Weekly Hangout will be split in two: in the first section we give an overview of the developments up to know, in the second we will focus on the likely strategy and discuss how Chinese companies can avoid the mistakes US internet companies made when they entered China. Each section is expected to last between 10 and 15 minutes.

Next week is planned the delayed China Weekly Hangout on nuclear power in China. Expected guest are Chris Brown of the Asia Cleantech Gateway and Richard Brubaker, Adjunct Professor of Management, Sustainability and Responsible Leadership at China Europe International Business School.

Uyghur: very little impact on US agenda - Howard French

The Uyghur, the Turkish minority in Eastern western China, have very little impact on the US agenda towards China, says former China correspondent and journalism professor Howard French on the website of UNPO.org.

UNPO:
  “I don’t think that they [Uyghurs] will have a decisive impact on American foreign policy towards China,” said Howard French, a China expert at Columbia Journalism School. Realpolitik dictates foreign policy priorities, and human rights are not on top of that list, he said. With volatile issues at stake from North Korea and Iran to Syria, where the US needs China’s cooperation, many observers suggest America would be reluctant to alienate China... 
But that does not mean China should ignore the grumblings of the Uyghurs, French said. “If this was a human being and we are talking about medical terms, we would say that it is a chronic condition,” he said. “It’s not going away.”
