Regarding China’s crackdown on the Uighur minority in Xinjiang Province… my father-in-law and mother-in-law are actually traveling there this weekend to visit a cousin who lives there (from the part of the family that was effectively separated from them on the China side of the border during the Sino-Soviet split decades ago).

When asking other Mongolians who visit there frequently about any potential problems, they were told to tell the Chinese border officials that they’re going shopping in Urumqi… and NOT to say they’re visiting family. Apparently that’s a big red flag that can create problems for travelers and their relatives in China, even if they’re not Uighurs or Muslims. I’ll definitely be asking them what it was like there…. I’ve seen the large numbers of security cameras and notable security presence in other parts of China, but I’ve heard the security environment in Xinjiang is on a WHOLE other level….

Steven Harris recommended the Xtar VC2 in his bugout bag video. It can charge usb devices from an 18650, in addition to acting as a regular charger. Check out bugout1234.com
