Milkshake Consent | Forced Labour in Xinjiang and Uyghur people

This week we catch up and rant about how bad the government's response to the crisis of sexual harassment and the need to have CONSENT education in high school. The Xinjiang and Uyghur's forced labour is also this week's topic, as we want to present the story and open up the awareness of individual choices in consumption, how a super power like CCP can utilise capitalism to eliminate ethnic culture and language.
