It was for the most part decent, but I think there were some liberties taken, in that Kate's belief that it is harder for Uyghur divorced women to remarry or reintegrate into society is based on her personal experience and not the result of even simple study. Anyone who has been close to Chowzhou families, and traditional village families see the exact hardships placed on women there. I think that Daniel is right in that outsiders misinterpret what is doing on in some of China's initiatives to help the poor, women, or just improve the standard of living. But the nuance is that if we supplement the USA or "the west" for China he and others label it as imperialism or colonialism. I am not trying to start an argument, i just find it interesting. I think Daniel is far better a vlogger than he thinks. It comes across less prepared more truthful on the streets/out in the fields. If I watched the video without the preface, I would have enjoyed it far more.
For a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural society or country, a common language is very important to help the different races and culture communicate effectively and grow. We, in Singapore, totally understands this. It is bewildering to see some people saying that China is forcing the Uyghur to learn Mandarin in order to wipe out their culture and language but it actual fact, it helps them be able to take part in the modern economy and improve their lives. I use to live in a village/slump when I was a kid in Singapore back in the 1970s. When we moved to a government subsidised public housing, it was a huge upgrade and change in life. If a person had never used a squat toilet with two planks and a bucket underneath and then upgraded to a proper sit down toilet, don’t be talking about these government provided modern housing as having “no character” bullshit. Great video Daniel. Thank you for making these videos.
People want to see genocide? Go visit a native American reservation. It's extremely sad. They live in poor conditions. To think that America used to be theirs is sad especially when you see how they live now.
Singapore is also subject to the biased accusations from the West, but it is more developed and therefore more able to fight back. China still needs time to get a grip on its voice
The West should learn from Singapore on how to eliminate racial discrimination, as all they do is chant slogans while widening the gap between different races. Singapore has made it a requirement for all races to live together instead of forming mono-ethnic ghettos as in the West, and Singapore has done a good job of eliminating racial discrimination, but the West is blamed for it.

This is what Deng Xiao Ping meant by "crossing the river by feeling the pebbles". Each region and village requires tailored made solution. it means that the decisions are made by people on the ground, learning by doing and from feed-backs. This video is not a tourist guide to the area and that is why it is so good. What is interesting from your video are the ordinary things that the rest of the world takes for granted. Good access to education, re-creation and work opportunities. Everyone is given the chance to make good of what they have. Choices are left to those the government is trying to help to better their lives. Self-help is the mantra!
Nice! Xinjiang is such a diverse place. The Kyrgyz are just another super interesting Chinese nationality and it’s great you showcased them in your video. Keep up your good work! Lots of love to you!
While the Western MSM are constantly churning out negative reports on China, your channel has become precious for those of us who want to know what is truly happening on the ground of China. I wish you will develop your channel into a news network. I am sure you will get all kinds of support from ordinary people (not any government) around the world (not just Chinese).
Thank you Daniel. You are doing a great job. For most people who visit Xinjiang, they just go to tourist sites, as they don't have enough time or the opportunities or the awareness to have deep conversations with the locals, to know what they think, how they feel. But you have really explored this place and the people. I really appreciate your work.
Thank you Daniel for sharing the experience of your recent Xinjian trip. You are doing fantastic! The truth and your gut feeling are more important than a well tailored Vlog. We all created unequal, we all try to do the best we can. The minor set back could only make people stronger. We are the survivors.
Agreed. Some people think lifting people out of poverty is easy, but when only when they visit the ground site will they see the challenges faced in trying to bring prosperity to impoverished regions.
The Chinese government asks people to leave their original rough place and compensate with a better living place is not novel. My hometown had that happened 20 years ago. Thanks Daniel for sharing the video!
From a global perspective, it is very novel. How many other countries are doing this? In my country, so many people still remain dirt poor, 2 or 3 generations later.
This is brilliant, China is encouraging agricultural development for their food needs while also alleviating the poverty of this village. Watching your channel makes me want to move to China, the culture just seems like a nice fit for my personality.
the place you went would be a concentration camp when someone from BBC tilt his camera,set up a special filter and deliberately lower their interviewing voice and edit with a funeral BGM.
Yes, remember the most hyped and stupid American movie ‘Blair Witch Project’, it plays with our fear and imagination, bam! IT SELLS! Never underestimate ‘the power of suggestion’, it doesn’t take much to play with people’s psyche.
It's crazy how people in the US are so easy to believe the 'swamp', the far left NBC, the far right Fox News, the 'fake' mainstream media. But when it comes to China.... their news agencies are the best and most factual in the world. I don't get it.
Great insight into daily life for the local populations in the Xinjiang region - thank you so much for caring enough to investigate and research this, I only hope more people in the west would actually be open minded enough to see through the misconceptions and bias they’ve been taught against China
Right on, Mike. I'd go one further: Unless and until we acknowledge that the root of this insanity is Sinophobia, it will not abate. I dunno on which side of the imaginary line called "the Canada-US border" you find yourself, but both sides have a rich tradition of hatred toward Chinese. And hey, the "Hong Kong freedom" types who fan the flames of anti-Chinese sentiment will suffer the consequences of that shit, or I should say, their relatives over here will. Ditto non-Chinese East/Southeast Asians...just like Sikhs were beaten and killed after "nine eleven"!
What the Western Governments have done in Xinjiang are not caused by misconceptions, they are deliberate lies. The Western Governments, especially the USA, have been playing the same lying game against each other and the other countries for a very long long time.
As everywhere else, when you trek into truly culturally traditional areas (say, to meet indigenous people in the Amazon) you must prepare learning the language and customs. You wouldn't want to offend someone because of your ignorance.

You words carry a lot of weight than the Chinese government when combating the smear campaigns from the west. Keep doing what you think is right and don’t let the darkness overtake the brightness in the struggle for truth and justice.
Thank you Daniel, and a special thank to the lady who translated for you. She is a Uyghur lady, right? Her English is not perfect but she did a great job.
Yeah... I've seen something like that, people complaining that the locals don't live in those pittoreske mountain villages anymore. There was a prestigious photo magazine some years ago complaining about African women using plastic buckets to fetch water in the river... They lamented that it was much more photogenic before when the women carried those old heavy ceramic pots on their heads... It wasn't authentic enough anymore...
US is very smart though. From the government approval numbers from statistics, you can tell improving living standard actually gained Chinese government approval from many Chinese, they know a better living standard in Xinjiang would mean the opposite of what US want.
As expected, someone here is sore about the truth. Especially those w**** trash will be very sore about the truth, and will rebuke by saying Daniel is being bribed by the CCP. 😆
imagine when Daniel gets 1m subs! The main stream media will be simply destroyed. for this particular video, 27k views but already 900 comments. What a vigorous group we have here!
I’ve toured Xinjiang twice and they both have been really fantastic traveling experiences. Food was amazing since it’s a melting pot of different Chinese ethnic groups, and all I can say is those distinct flavors from various cultural backgrounds mixed very well. Locals are incredibly friendly, and a casual walk around the Bazaar at Urumqi is nothing short of a sensory overload. Definitely going back for a third time.
At the start when you walked around the farms and entered the tomato farm, I misunderstood and thought that was where they lived. My first impression was those houses were a little shoddy with exposed bricks without paint, but figured they must at least be better than what they used to have in the remote mountains. I was most impressed when in the later part you visited the actual apartments where these villagers lived. These are likely considered upper middle class living conditions in many developing third world countries. It's a shame none of these real stories make it to the western mainstream media.
Wow that is a huge plot of land allocated for flats and even for farming (means of earning a living).... Kudos to the government really invests in infrastructure for the people.
China had gone through some tough lean years. it was the older generation who laid the ground work, through trials and errors that get the country to where it is today.
Thanks Daniel for showing us another( unbiased) side of Xinjiang . It must be painstakingly hard work, trying your best to understand the real situation over there and explain to your viewers.
This is a relative big community development at south of Akto County, which is to the southern side of Kashgar. When looked at the place through historic images by Google Earth, one can actually see the green houses and residential areas though the years. Also seeing changes from desert land to oasis bit by bit around near by areas also. Thanks Daniel for bring us a closer look at the latest development on both the land and the people living there. Thanks...
Very insightful reporting Daniel. This is a topic that needs to be exposed more so the western media can see for themselves how life is in the poor part of China. I learned a lot from watching this video. Keep up the good work you're doing here on your channel.
for ppl donot speak Chinese, this community is called 昆仑佳苑Kunlun Jiayuan(means Har Goolun Beautiful Garden) locates in Akto county to the southwest of Kashgar city. u can search this on maps like Google, or Baidu maps.
Wonderful message Daniel. Seeing the old village houses, one can image how life was, the hardship etc especially during winter and rainy season. What the new village have now is a magnificent gift from the government. Thanks.
All media is propaganda. The questions we must always ask ourselves are, who's making it? And why? This is why Pootoob stifles people like Daniel: Because he wears his heart on his sleeve, has no financial interest in propagandizing, and isn't shy to criticize PRC when he sees something off-putting. In short, he's above the reproach of China-haters...and they fckin' hate that!
Different ethnic groups live together in harmony in Xinjiang; while in USA different ethnic groups and races fight with each other... This is the difference between China and USA~
Those mountainside homes remind me of Petra, easily one of the coolest historical sites in the world. But of course, they didn't have to deal with mudslides in Jordan, so they built a whole damn city in there.

Daniel, on your comment on a common language. Here’s an interesting phenomenon on how time’s relationship to culture and language. My family’s been in Canada since the coolie days. And in those days 95% of the Chinese in North America came from the Toisan region, so the dialect my family speaks was over 100 years old. Today when I go to Chinatown in Vancouver and talk to some of the recent immigrant merchants from Toisan, their Toisanese is heavily influenced with a Cantonese accent and they would not understand some of the “pure” Toisanese that we use. So their Toisan dialect today in China is not the “pure” Toisan but with confluence of Cantonese, but what’s interesting is when they speak Cantonese they have a heavy Toisanese accent. Now even more interesting is that when they speak Mandarin, they have a Cantonese accent without any Toisanese inflection. So the moral of the story is that if you want to find the original Toisanese dialect you wouldn’t find it in China but in North America.
Toishanese used to be the lingua Franca in Chinatown, NYC. my cousin, an ABC speaks perfect Toi-Shanese because my late aunt refused to converse with him in English. 😊😊
There are many taisaneses in China. All taisanese speaks differently with different accents depending which town/city they come from. Taishan, fushan, kaipin and many other regions speaks the same dialect but with a different accent. Cantonese is a "language" designed for Cantonese speaker who live in the region (guang ding province) meanwhile mandarin is the national language encouraged by the country (so that ppl can communicate to each other). You can speak whatever you want as ppl can handle mutli languages and dialects.
To have women working, and economically independent, along with others measures actually Women and Equal Movements: to free women and make them gaining proper social status. Study and general education would be essential in this process. Learning Putonghua and / or Chinese scripts equally important as this makes them competitive and stronger ...
Learning Mandarin will help them all along the BRI... especially in Central Asia, President Erdogan said about the Uyghurs of Xinjiang: “Residents of various ethnicities living happily in the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region thanks to China’s prosperity is a hard fact, and Turkey will not allow anyone to drive a wedge in its relations with China” (Al-Araby, July 3, 2919) The Chinese are everywhere in the House of Islam.... From Timbuctoo to Samarkand! And they are SAFE. Not so in the West! All Asians are now experiencing HATE in the West from San Francisco to Leicester Square, London. And they say Muslims are violent.
Also, having a common language helps the people of different culture and ethic background be able to communicate and understand each other’s culture. It promotes racial harmony.
Daniel, thanks for the detailed and honest work. As a Han Chinese, when I see the country is leading not only US, but also our minority brothers and sisters into the new century of life, it always makes me emotional. In the future, there will be great artists, scientists, atheletes, EVEN maybe astronauts from there, no one will be left behind. That's why the government has my cordial support. As a.Chinese studied and worked in the US, I can certainly drew comparisons and see.through the lies.
Thanks daniel ,you are a true reporter, telling the true story happening in the ground. Trust no body like living in the mountains, especially during the winter in xinjiang....
Religion in American politics wanted the franchise for this work and the cash flow. I am glad to see the rest of the story, knowing there was more. Thankyou!
Thank you for your hard work!! We can see the steady steps that having been taken place in Xinjiang to lift people of all ethnicities from poverty. Some people may not like their new lives, but overall the whole region is moving to prosperity.
I have image in my head already how the greenhouse and embroidery workshop will be presented as concentration camp and forced labor sweatshop through BBC lens
Meanwhile, people in Canada work in greenhouses for minimum wage, and only if they either own a car to drive out of the city, or are "temporary foreign workers" (who are often scammed on the "company store" model by crooked "recruiters")...all with the blessing of federal, provincial and municipal governments!
This is a very good documentary film, so real and vivid and so down to earth about lives in the remote region of Xinjiang. I am so proud of China especially the government. They really care about their people and know how to spread the wealth among their citizens. The major problem of social unrest of any countries, whether it is communist, socialist, democratic, capitalism etc., is wealthy/poor gap. China has been addressing this issue continuously and people feel proud of their country. The West will only report the bad side of China but will never endorse the achievement they have done for their people. I beg you BBC/CNN will never allow your video to be shown in the West. This video really touched me after I watched the Oscar winner movie Nomad Land and compare to what is happening in China. I feel sorry for the Americans being fooled by their government and media. The Americans should really wake up now!!!!
This really puts America's treatment of its Native American / First Nations people / reservations to shame. Hell it puts all people living in poverty, in America, their treatment, the UN visited them and said it was 3rd world living conditions, all of that to shame.
100%, yes. If you're interested to learn more, I can't recommend Pam Palmater, Kanahus Manuel, UnistotenCamp, Russ Diabo, Let's Talk Native TV and Real People's Media (YT channels) highly enough.

there are Tajiks, Mongolians, Russians, Persians, Uzbeks, Tibetan, and Hans in Xinjiang. Xinjiang is where the old silk road used to pass through.
@@willengel2458 Yep!
Thanks for showing what's really happening on the ground!
We knew everything what done Chinese with Uyghur people!
While the Western MSM are constantly churning out negative reports on China, your channel has become precious for those of us who want to know what is truly happening on the ground of China. I wish you will develop your channel into a news network. I am sure you will get all kinds of support from ordinary people (not any government) around the world (not just Chinese).
Good idea. Fingers crossed.
Thank you Daniel. You are doing a great job. For most people who visit Xinjiang, they just go to tourist sites, as they don't have enough time or the opportunities or the awareness to have deep conversations with the locals, to know what they think, how they feel. But you have really explored this place and the people. I really appreciate your work.
Thank you Daniel for sharing the experience of your recent Xinjian trip. You are doing fantastic! The truth and your gut feeling are more important than a well tailored Vlog. We all created unequal, we all try to do the best we can. The minor set back could only make people stronger. We are the survivors.
China is doing a really hard job, it is very amazing.
Agreed. Some people think lifting people out of poverty is easy, but when only when they visit the ground site will they see the challenges faced in trying to bring prosperity to impoverished regions.
@@Shenzhou. Yep but don't worry those people who judge are the one who won't do shit to help others.
The Chinese government asks people to leave their original rough place and compensate with a better living place is not novel. My hometown had that happened 20 years ago. Thanks Daniel for sharing the video!
I have traveled all over China and I have seen many projects like the one mentioned in this video for MANY years.
From a global perspective, it is very novel. How many other countries are doing this? In my country, so many people still remain dirt poor, 2 or 3 generations later.
This is brilliant, China is encouraging agricultural development for their food needs while also alleviating the poverty of this village.
Watching your channel makes me want to move to China, the culture just seems like a nice fit for my personality.
the place you went would be a concentration camp when someone from BBC tilt his camera,set up a special filter and deliberately lower their interviewing voice and edit with a funeral BGM.
我同意的说法
Accurate xDDDD
Mustn't forget _dubbing over Uighur voices_ into English, and deliberately changing their original words to a more negative opinion.
Yes, remember the most hyped and stupid American movie ‘Blair Witch Project’, it plays with our fear and imagination, bam! IT SELLS!
Never underestimate ‘the power of suggestion’, it doesn’t take much to play with people’s psyche.
It's crazy how people in the US are so easy to believe the 'swamp', the far left NBC, the far right Fox News, the 'fake' mainstream media. But when it comes to China.... their news agencies are the best and most factual in the world. I don't get it.
Common language is exactly a must for each and every ethnic groups.
Great insight into daily life for the local populations in the Xinjiang region - thank you so much for caring enough to investigate and research this, I only hope more people in the west would actually be open minded enough to see through the misconceptions and bias they’ve been taught against China
Right on, Mike. I'd go one further: Unless and until we acknowledge that the root of this insanity is Sinophobia, it will not abate. I dunno on which side of the imaginary line called "the Canada-US border" you find yourself, but both sides have a rich tradition of hatred toward Chinese. And hey, the "Hong Kong freedom" types who fan the flames of anti-Chinese sentiment will suffer the consequences of that shit, or I should say, their relatives over here will. Ditto non-Chinese East/Southeast Asians...just like Sikhs were beaten and killed after "nine eleven"!
What the Western Governments have done in Xinjiang are not caused by misconceptions, they are deliberate lies. The Western Governments, especially the USA, have been playing the same lying game against each other and the other countries for a very long long time.
It would be interesting to see the mountain life as a comparison
Matt, if I remember correctly, you experienced a similar confab atop the Himalayas with a semi cosmopolitan group speaking in different idioms.
Mountain village must be seriously dangerous if even locals dies every now and then lol!
As everywhere else, when you trek into truly culturally traditional areas (say, to meet indigenous people in the Amazon) you must prepare learning the language and customs. You wouldn't want to offend someone because of your ignorance.
@@barquerojuancarlos7253 Kyrgyz and the Amazon
Poles apart... this is the land of Samarkand and Bukhara! These are the People who codified the Sayings of the Prophet PBUH. Probably Arabic Grammar... They were also the ones who produced two Islamic Empires .. The Seljuks and the Ottomans.

Really appreciate your video to let the world know what is happening now in XinJiang, China. This should be exact what western medias need to do ---just fly to XinJiang and take a close look there. Thanks Daniel! We are so proud of you as a Canadian.
Xin Jiang is going to be incredibly rich and prosperous once the BRI gets fully going.
Agreed. I showed people this short *3-min video of Urumqi,* Xinjiang's capital in China and many couldn't believe this is actually Xinjiang! th-cam.com/video/oPuFMooKLaA/w-d-xo.html (Suggestion: Watch in HD Fullscreen for best experience)

Thank you Daniel, and a special thank to the lady who translated for you. She is a Uyghur lady, right? Her English is not perfect but she did a great job.
No ads in this video, but I will watch your other videos and commercials. Thank you for showing us the real Xinjiang.
Yeah... I've seen something like that, people complaining that the locals don't live in those pittoreske mountain villages anymore. There was a prestigious photo magazine some years ago complaining about African women using plastic buckets to fetch water in the river... They lamented that it was much more photogenic before when the women carried those old heavy ceramic pots on their heads... It wasn't authentic enough anymore...
US is very smart though. From the government approval numbers from statistics, you can tell improving living standard actually gained Chinese government approval from many Chinese, they know a better living standard in Xinjiang would mean the opposite of what US want.
Well then tell Daniel to stop complaining about US sanctions.
@@tubbytuber Looks like someone's butthurt about the fact that Daniel's right about US sanctions. lmao

What a vigorous group we have here!
I’ve toured Xinjiang twice and they both have been really fantastic traveling experiences. Food was amazing since it’s a melting pot of different Chinese ethnic groups, and all I can say is those distinct flavors from various cultural backgrounds mixed very well. Locals are incredibly friendly, and a casual walk around the Bazaar at Urumqi is nothing short of a sensory overload.
Definitely going back for a third time.
You've done a great job. Many thanks to you that we get to see what's really on the ground. Just fantastic!
I really like watching his unbiased videos about the real life of the Uighurs in Xinjiang.
At the start when you walked around the farms and entered the tomato farm, I misunderstood and thought that was where they lived. My first impression was those houses were a little shoddy with exposed bricks without paint, but figured they must at least be better than what they used to have in the remote mountains.
I was most impressed when in the later part you visited the actual apartments where these villagers lived. These are likely considered upper middle class living conditions in many developing third world countries. It's a shame none of these real stories make it to the western mainstream media.
Never dream in my lifetime could witness such a government for people. CCP gotto salute ya.
Humanity real deal.
Bravo.
Wow that is a huge plot of land allocated for flats and even for farming (means of earning a living).... Kudos to the government really invests in infrastructure for the people.
Xinjiang is big. so is Mongolia and Tibet.
Whatever China touches become Gold. Happy to see the vids. Keep doing what you do !
Indeed. while whatever Amerhaha touches become Blood and Ash.
They work hard for it
Whatever US and Trump touches dies
And if it doesn't become gold, it gets re-educated!
China had gone through some tough lean years. it was the older generation who laid the ground work, through trials and errors that get the country to where it is today.
Thanks Daniel for showing us another( unbiased) side of Xinjiang . It must be painstakingly hard work, trying your best to understand the real situation over there and explain to your viewers.
Thank you Daniel, great video! Looking forward to watching the next one.
Thank you Daniel🙏🙏🙏I appreciate your effort to show the true Xin Jiang to the world. You are a man with a good honest heart👏👏👏👌👌👌👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
Too short!! Wanted hear more. Wonderful insight to how these people's lives have been transformed.

This is a relative big community development at south of Akto County, which is to the southern side of Kashgar. When looked at the place through historic images by Google Earth, one can actually see the green houses and residential areas though the years. Also seeing changes from desert land to oasis bit by bit around near by areas also. Thanks Daniel for bring us a closer look at the latest development on both the land and the people living there. Thanks...
Thank You, Daniel!
Thank you for sharing your experience! Really appreciate your effort!
Very insightful reporting Daniel. This is a topic that needs to be exposed more so the western media can see for themselves how life is in the poor part of China. I learned a lot from watching this video. Keep up the good work you're doing here on your channel.
Greetings from Toronto Canada, I subscribed and enjoy your videos and your narratives, keep up the great works, thanks Daniel.
for ppl donot speak Chinese, this community is called 昆仑佳苑Kunlun Jiayuan(means Har Goolun Beautiful Garden) locates in Akto county to the southwest of Kashgar city. u can search this on maps like Google, or Baidu maps.
Wonderful message Daniel. Seeing the old village houses, one can image how life was, the hardship etc especially during winter and rainy season. What the new village have now is a magnificent gift from the government. Thanks.
Thank you for making these videos, Chinese people will remember your efforts.
Thanks for your tour. It's always exciting to meet people from different cultures. It enriching.
You mean meeting the Danny the Canadian is a new experience for you . You can drop the hilariously fake avatar , "Chang".

Glad to see someone telling the truth instead of being on some kind of propaganda payroll
All media is propaganda. The questions we must always ask ourselves are, who's making it? And why? This is why Pootoob stifles people like Daniel: Because he wears his heart on his sleeve, has no financial interest in propagandizing, and isn't shy to criticize PRC when he sees something off-putting. In short, he's above the reproach of China-haters...and they fckin' hate that!
Thank you Daniel for showing us the real Xinjiang to people like me from Singapore!
Thanks Daniel, you did a great job.

The people in Kyrgyzstan are very famous for their dances. So I am not surprised that Kyrgyz people in China are also famous for their dancing and dances in China
Daniel, on your comment on a common language. Here’s an interesting phenomenon on how time’s relationship to culture and language. My family’s been in Canada since the coolie days. And in those days 95% of the Chinese in North America came from the Toisan region, so the dialect my family speaks was over 100 years old. Today when I go to Chinatown in Vancouver and talk to some of the recent immigrant merchants from Toisan, their Toisanese is heavily influenced with a Cantonese accent and they would not understand some of the “pure” Toisanese that we use.
So their Toisan dialect today in China is not the “pure” Toisan but with confluence of Cantonese, but what’s interesting is when they speak Cantonese they have a heavy Toisanese accent. Now even more interesting is that when they speak Mandarin, they have a Cantonese accent without any Toisanese inflection.
So the moral of the story is that if you want to find the original Toisanese dialect you wouldn’t find it in China but in North America.
Toishanese used to be the lingua Franca in Chinatown, NYC. my cousin, an ABC speaks perfect Toi-Shanese because my late aunt refused to converse with him in English. 😊😊
There are many taisaneses in China. All taisanese speaks differently with different accents depending which town/city they come from. Taishan, fushan, kaipin and many other regions speaks the same dialect but with a different accent. Cantonese is a "language" designed for Cantonese speaker who live in the region (guang ding province) meanwhile mandarin is the national language encouraged by the country (so that ppl can communicate to each other). You can speak whatever you want as ppl can handle mutli languages and dialects.
Loving these vlogs in Xinjiang, keep it up.
A beautiful place, totally transformed from what's before. Excellent video. Thank you Daniel for shooting such a wonderful vlog.
This video deserves 20 million viewers
Honest reporter with conscience! We truly appreciate.
I love these reports, Daniel. So sensible.
bravo!!! amazing!!! u r not even a journalist but doing a job way better than most of them. Thanks Daniel.
Correct, he's a propagandist for the CCP dynasty that blocks youtube and all other outside media.
It seems like your way of using 3-point lighting is quite hypnotizing
To have women working, and economically independent, along with others measures actually Women and Equal Movements: to free women and make them gaining proper social status.
Study and general education would be essential in this process. Learning Putonghua and / or Chinese scripts equally important as this makes them competitive and stronger ...
Learning Mandarin will help them all along the BRI... especially in Central Asia,
President Erdogan said about the Uyghurs of Xinjiang:
“Residents of various ethnicities living happily in the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region thanks to China’s prosperity is a hard fact, and Turkey will not allow anyone to drive a wedge in its relations with China” (Al-Araby, July 3, 2919)
The Chinese are everywhere in the House of Islam.... From Timbuctoo to Samarkand! And they are SAFE. Not so in the West! All Asians are now experiencing HATE in the West from San Francisco to Leicester Square, London.
And they say Muslims are violent.
Also, having a common language helps the people of different culture and ethic background be able to communicate and understand each other’s culture. It promotes racial harmony.
Daniel, thanks for the detailed and honest work. As a Han Chinese, when I see the country is leading not only US, but also our minority brothers and sisters into the new century of life, it always makes me emotional. In the future, there will be great artists, scientists, atheletes, EVEN maybe astronauts from there, no one will be left behind. That's why the government has my cordial support. As a.Chinese studied and worked in the US, I can certainly drew comparisons and see.through the lies.
Thanks daniel ,you are a true reporter, telling the true story happening in the ground. Trust no body like living in the mountains, especially during the winter in xinjiang....
Religion in American politics wanted the franchise for this work and the cash flow.

I have image in my head already how the greenhouse and embroidery workshop will be presented as concentration camp and forced labor sweatshop through BBC lens
Meanwhile, people in Canada work in greenhouses for minimum wage, and only if they either own a car to drive out of the city, or are "temporary foreign workers" (who are often scammed on the "company store" model by crooked "recruiters")...all with the blessing of federal, provincial and municipal governments!
I think we can say Your work means a lot for the justice of our world.
Thank you very much for your effort to show the truth to the world. If more people like you to tell the truth, the world would be a much better place.
The families that still in mountains is a good point. Thanks for your in depth research.
This is a very good documentary film, so real and vivid and so down to earth about lives in the remote region of Xinjiang. I am so proud of China especially the government. They really care about their people and know how to spread the wealth among their citizens. The major problem of social unrest of any countries, whether it is communist, socialist, democratic, capitalism etc., is wealthy/poor gap. China has been addressing this issue continuously and people feel proud of their country. The West will only report the bad side of China but will never endorse the achievement they have done for their people. I beg you BBC/CNN will never allow your video to be shown in the West. This video really touched me after I watched the Oscar winner movie Nomad Land and compare to what is happening in China. I feel sorry for the Americans being fooled by their government and media. The Americans should really wake up now!!!!
This really puts America's treatment of its Native American / First Nations people / reservations to shame. Hell it puts all people living in poverty, in America, their treatment, the UN visited them and said it was 3rd world living conditions, all of that to shame.
100%, yes. If you're interested to learn more, I can't recommend Pam Palmater, Kanahus Manuel, UnistotenCamp, Russ Diabo, Let's Talk Native TV and Real People's Media (YT channels) highly enough.
