Brinkmanship and the Iran Nuclear Deal (Video)
Will the J.C.P.O.A. Survive?
President Trump unilaterally withdrew the United States from the nuclear deal with Iran and imposed crippling economic sanctions as part of a "Maximum Pressure" campaign. The goal was to seal off the Iranians from the global economy, particularly the oil and financial sectors. Secretary of State Tony Blinken, appointed by President Biden, has advocated for a "longer and stronger" re-written nuclear deal. So far the Iranians have stalled the negotiations and proceeded to ramp up Uranium enrichment. The survival of the J.C.P.O.A. is at stake. What, if anything, can be done to save it? Mr. Kahn will provide an answer.

The Uighurs of Xinjiang (Video)
Enemies of the Party-State?
The Chinese government has reportedly interned over one million of its Muslim population in so-called re-education camps. Most of those involuntarily detained are ethnic Uighurs who are from Xinjiang province in Western China, practice Islam, and speak a Turkic language. These people undergo brainwashing techniques designed to invalidate their Muslim-Uighur heritage, emphasize acquiring Mandarin, and political loyalty to the Chinese Communist government. Uighurs are also subject to forced labor in locales far from their home province and their families. Some American corporations in China have cooperated with the Chinese government in this effort, by employing forced labor Uighur workers at very low wages. The lecturer will highlight what efforts are being made to counter Uighur exploitation and bring their plight to the world's attention as a Human Rights issue.
