It's about values. Most Muslim nations don't value human/individual rights, which is why they're not as upset with China rounding up the Uyghurs. Howwever, they do value religious sanctity and purity above all else, which is why burning the Quran or unflattering depicitions of Mohammed rile them the most. This runs in direct contrast to the Western-liberal value of free expression.

>They never ask themselves that if Deng was such a genuine reformist, then how the hell did things become so much more conservative with Xi?

Are you suggesting Hu wasn't a genuine reformist?

All of the leaders have some kind of blood on their hands, but the run from Deng to Hu was promising. It's a massive shame what has happened in China

Yeah, but it's still an elected congress, right? What he "had" to do is recognize he does not have the support he needs to the things he wants and try to make the best of the situation. Not break the system to remove opposition.

But I'm just an outsider, so there could be more I'm missing.

Israel recycle 80% of it’s water, and give it back to the agriculture sector to use as grey water. And the Israeli agricultural sector is by far the smartest in it’s use of water, developing water management tech and technics. Israel has the least amount of water lost to leakage because it developed a way to track the pressure in all the pipes in the country and find the exact location of water leaks and fix them immediately. The water being misused in countries that has more renewable energy is at least as big of problem as Israel not using enough renewable energy.

At the time of his attempt Castillo had already faced 2 impeachment attempts and the 3rd led by the powerful Congress specifically the allies of Keiko Fujimori were gearing up for 1 more but lacked the support. Probably when Castillo realized he will never be able to accomplish anything without removing a Congress who clearly hates him
