I don't believe that I've ever tried to pronounce this word. But thank you for the lesson. Just goes to show, you learn something new every day.

I know a man who used to teach German/English at various Chinese universities for about ten years. He now lives in the Villages and is retired. This was about twenty or more years ago that he was in China but he has a lot on interesting stuff to say about China.

The guy I know is very worried about it. He met a good number of these people twenty or so years ago and says most of them are probably in re-education camps. What you should know about China’s minority Uighurs | Uighur News | Al Jazeera
