The Chinese Communist Party hosted a “carnival celebrating diversity” late Wednesday in Beijing featuring Party-approved performances from the likes of Jackie Chan and Andrea Bocelli.
The show was a stark contrast to efforts to eradicate Uighur identity and the Muslim faith on the other side of the country.
The carnival gala culminated the Conference on Dialogue of Asian Civilizations (CDAC), an event hosted by Communist Party leader Xi Jinping to promote the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), China’s plan to control all of the world’s major transportation hubs. Xi delivered a speech praising the diversity of Asian cultures and urging greater communication among the continent’s peoples, specifically through participating in BRI projects.
