Australian MPs Denied China Visas and Uyghur Muslim Detention

The Chinese embassy suggested they could visit if they "repented" for their mistakes. The hosts discuss the growing international focus on the detention of one million Uyghur Muslims in re-education camps, noting it has become a significant geopolitical "meme" used to pressure the Chinese government.
