"Wherever men or women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must – at that moment – become the center of the universe."

Good read. Labor concerns related to China haven’t gone away, but the business leaders present at the conference don’t deal/touch anything Uyghur (mostly financial services and industrial company ceos.)
