Listen to this man carefully: "It's not really that I stand up for China, it's I stand against people who are wrong about China." What an honest, righteous gentleman! My respect and appreciation.
There are so many people who are "wrong " about China, and only a few like this man who know about the Chinese and their way of life. News about China today is completely twisted, warped and fake.. There are so many good people in China, the West would be, again, so jealous! Cooperation is so much better than war! We all must do that, go in that direction, there is no other way. The Chinese are least belligerent...
@Murdoch Ravenhill I take exception to your comment that " if China wasn't so unwelcoming to foreigners ...." There is a large number of videos on utube posted by foreigners who live and work in China. The following are a few 1. Blondie in China ( Australian ) 2. Barrett ( Brits ) 3. Nathan Rich ( American ) 4. Nico ( Brits) 5. Cyrus Janssen ( American ) 6. Gweilo 60 ( Canadian ) 7. the Jayoe Nation ( American ) 8. numuves ( Canadian ) 9. Daniel Dumbrill ( Canadian ) 10. China Teacher Brand ( Columbian ) I don't live in China but these videos gave me some idea how hospitable or inhospitable China is to foreigners. Most of these expats seem happy with their lifestyle and some are permanently settled in China. Naturally, I can't confirm they are not all paid by the CCP to post their videos. And of course no one is claiming China, or any country, is perfect.
@Murdoch Ravenhill judging from your other comments on China related vids. Shall we just stop pretending you are giving some kind of honest observations? Haters' gonna hate. Why not just tell us this is who you are? It is really pointless to have any meaningful discussion with someone generalising 1.4b ppl in such a way that Chinese are homogeneous, oppressed, lack of independent thinking and some kind ideology freaks (my takes after reading your post). If you are not happy with 1.4b, you tell me if it is your problem or their problem? Perhaps you should start with being not narrow minded. I've been places, never for once did I judge locals by my own standards/experience or crying why they are different from what I think they should be; let alone generalising the entire population. My advice to people like you: stop being obsessed with something you find it hard to enjoy, leaving each other alone is a better way to manage your frustration.
Xinjiang is huge and has incredible nature and scenery, definitely worth the extra security. Last visited Xinjiang in the spring of 2019 to visit my ailing father inlaw, aside from the extra security we enjoyed the visit. To the contrary we felt much safer because of the security. Jerry mentioned that Xinjiang is multi ethnic and that is part of the attraction, the Uyghur restaurants, food shops and people are wonderful. The Uyghur are thriving and it was amazing to see the changes since my last visit in 2013, they seem to have moved up the economic ladder like the other ethnic groups and Han. Jerry didn't mention that the security forces are also multi ethnic and have many Uighars that are often in senior positions of authority. Sadly, like Jerry I've had family and friends literally attack me when I speak of China honestly. I had to endure some very nutty abuse on the phone where they would yell vitriolic hatred towards a country they have never visited and call me brainwashed. Why were they hurling abuse towards me is even more sad, it was early March and I was warning them to take the pandemic seriously and sharing the success of the Chineses authorities pandemic measures and Grid Management. My goal was simply to help them avoid getting very sick or dying. Sad to lose friends and family to the non-stop hate propaganda doing its work in west.
Years education of bias does root well. They choose to believe whatever media said instead of going there and see it themself. No difference than zombies
the sad reality is when people are bombarded with years and years of lies upon lies . it became truth in their mind. weak mind can easily be brainwashed.
Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Province is the heart of the belt and road initiative the CPC has invested billions into Urumqi, Turpan, and other cities in Xinjiang to better the lives of all citizens regardless of ethnicity or religion. Today Xinjiang has modern infrastructure and is absorbing massive investments from many countries abroad.

Even after years, I can't stop my tears when I watched the vedios that terrorists were attacking people in Xinjiang and Kunming, stabbing them with knives regardless genders, ages and ethics. Think about how the western hurt by 911. It is really hard to get the point that how security measures and reeducating extremists violate human right. People live in Xinjiang know what is for their best. FB provided the platform to terrorists and refused to close their accounts when the tragedy happened, but no one critized them for human rights? Thanks to the efforts the Chinese government has done, my parents travelled around Xinjiang last year and they felt Xinjiang is the safest place in China now. My friend spent three years in one of the poorest village in the south Xinjiang, away from his new married wife and families. He taught the Uyghurs Mandarin and also learnt the local language for better communication. He helped them to build family farms and shown them how to sell farm products via internet. This is what the so called CCP young men are doing in every single poor village right now. But what have the US government done for poor people here? Why can't they leave the other countries alone and do their own job given we have thousand people die everyday and I have been stuck in the room for half a year !
Those terrorists have been killed on spot, jailed, their organs were sold to Saudi "Halal" organ transplants. China did not respects its laws when putting so many innocent people without any judicial processes. Those innocent people are living in torturous environment. .

It's important to debunk the lies from the West. It's going to get worse. Aim to create conflict and division although it will not prevent sanctioning of Chinese companies - this has to be addressed differently.
I have been to Xinjiang three years ago to see the fall colour. I share similar experience. I saw no repression of the local people. In fact, I feel indebted to the hospitality of the local people.
What's your proof, Western media? No, I haven't been to Xinjiang yet, but I have been to Beijing, Jinan, Nanjing, Shenzhen, and several other places that welcome the Muslim community...in fact, I cannot wait to go to Xi'an as the man in the video mentioned, which has an amazing Muslim community. How about you, have you ever even set foot in China? If you have, you'd see lots of lies are told in western media about China purely for political and economic gains. Anyway, my proof is here: www.workers.org/2019/12/44963/amp/ ; thecommunists.org/2019/12/31/news/blatant-hypocrisy-usa-lies-about-china-uighur-muslims/ ; thegrayzone.com/2018/08/23/un-did-not-report-china-internment-camps-uighur-muslims/ Bear in mind that these articles don't need to provide citations, as these are quite well-established facts, unlike the arbitrary, unfounded allegations about "concentration camps" in Xinjiang.
David Thomas is just like Trump pand Pompeo, derived from the blood anti-asia. Promote liberal democrazy that failed to protect and rescue the USA people from suffering covid-19. Remember 165.000 USA citizens have died because of covid-19, because democrazy.
He said something very enlightening regarding the Muslim language situation. Its very true in the west you would learn the national language ( in this case English or in Xiajiang would be Mandarine ) in school however they are free to speak their own language outside of school. This is a way to ensure ( as they all live in china ) a way for them to work and prosper in China, out of poverty or get a good job in various places outside of Xinjiang. So its not entirely about Language suppression rather ensuring their young to be competitive.
I remember my ESL teacher used to fine me $5 every time I speak mandarin in a Canadian secondary school. I didn't realize it was a concentration camp according to ABC BBC CBC CNN blah blah media. It is so harsh.
I live in both country for 18 years each. You misunderstands what he meant. He’s saying school classes are taught in mandarin and text book are written in mandarin but he didn’t express that correctly. There is no limitation what language you want to say just like in US. Why I know that? Because I was one of the minority in those schools. The only time I was told to not speak chinese was actually when I was in ESL class in US.

List of mosques in China: This is a list of notable mosques in China. A mosque is a place of worship for followers of the religion of Islam. The first mosque in China was the Great Mosque of Xi'an, built during the Tang Dynasty in the 8th century CE. Today there are over 39,000 mosques in China, 25,000 of these are in Xinjiang, a north-west autonomous region./WIKIPEDIA
The mosque is under strict oversight and the Islamic symbol has been removed. In addition, the preaching by Imams is regulated and the use of Arabic script in public is prohibited. Muslim Muslims living in Henan Province in central China and in Ningxia in the northwest have been hit hard. 2019-10-11 Wang Ichi
@@森田和義-k6u Many media and scholarly accounts of terrorism in contemporary China focus on incidents of violence committed in Xinjiang, as well as on the Chinese government's counter-terrorism campaign in those regions. There is no unified Uyghur ideology, but Pan-Turkism, Uyghur nationalism, and Islamism have all attracted segments of the Uyghur population. Recent incidents include the 1992 Ürümqi bombings, the 1997 Ürümqi bus bombings, the 2010 Aksu bombing, the 2011 Hotan attack, 2011 Kashgar attacks, the 2014 Ürümqi attack, and the 2014 Kunming attack. 2014 Kunming attack Inside the Kunming railway station in Kunming, Yunnan, China, at around 21:20 on 1 March 2014, a group of knife-wielding terrorists attacked passengers at the city's railway station. Both male and female attackers pulled out long-bladed knives and stabbed and slashed innocent passengers. Four assailants were shot to death by police on the spot, and one injured female perpetrator was captured. The assailants killed 31 civilians with injuring more than 140 people.

Speaking of security checks... I have been to India many times for business since 2011, all the hotels I have stayed are equipped with x-ray baggage scanner, walk through metal detector, and one channel for men, one channel for women, for the handheld metal detector check- don't remember if they also do the pat-down. They check the vehicles, trunk and underneath, with the help of explosive detection canine. (It's so hot in many places the poor dogs have to wear shoes.) You go to big shopping malls, security check required too. Hotels in Manila are the same. So, such measures are pretty normal, and needed, for places that experienced bad terror attacks.

Mr. Jerry Grey, thank you for taking your time to speak the truth. wish you and your family good health, love Hong Kong. I wish people can cross check facts through trustworthy sources, in the case of Xingjing, people like yourself a former police officer from UK and World bank report on Xingjing, etc. The Western government in particular the US government have supported terrorists and try to separate Xingjing from China but fail because Chinese government implement tough securities thus peace is now been restored. US also back some political parties and organisations in HK which promote independence of HK and caused over 1,000 riots in 2019, thus China had to implement security laws to protect HK. While Western countries also have such security law and in US the penalty for separatist movement with highest punishment is death penalty which HK is just life imprisonment. US basically don’t want to give up their bulling dominance of the world because of the raise of China and they want to destroy China at all cost. This is a bad decision that US think tank have chosen to attack China, China will not allow US to destroy China because China is no longer the China of old and it will surely put up a fight because US wants to destroy China like they destroy Britain and Japan. A better solution or a wiser solution is for US to accept China and work together for the benefit of the world, if one understand China, China wants peace and harmony and not war or occupy others, beside how long does an average individual live on this planet? Why not set up a good system for your children and grand children to enjoy. Why waste so much money on military? Instead, utilise the money on your people to better their lives. Win win situation.

Well Jerry Grey, thank you so much for this briefing. America is so inclined in stopping or slowing down China from displacing them as the world leader nation, that they've gone wild in spreading misinformation around the world, sanctioning allies if they don't abide by their rules. So it's refreshing to get a positive view from an Australian ex-cope who casually travels there.
The Anglophile agenda is more than just slowing China's growth. It is part of an active strategy to contain China by surrounding China with unrest and chaos. It's not just the instigation of Xinjiang but one should also look at it in the context of actions in Hong Kong, Tibet and the ASEAN nations
Thanks Francois, Appreciate the comments. I have a friend visiting there at this very moment, I think there will be more videos and blogs dispelling the myths soon
Few years ago, a group of Indonesian clerics from the national highest Islamic authority were sent by the government to Xinjiang to see the situation in the region. When they returned, they reported what they saw which is favorable and claimed no oppression or discrimination there. Some hardliner group called them liars and they were bribed by Chinese government. Those clerics only answered "We can't lie and tell people what we didn't see there"
Western countries will never give up their attempts to discredit China on Xinjiang issue. In July 2019, around 50 ambassadors to the UN at Geneva signed a joint letter to the president of the UN Human Rights Council and the Office of UN High Commissioner for Human Rights to voice their support for China's governance in Xinjiang.
We visited Urumqi, Xinjiang in September 2018. Our experience there concurs with what Jerry Grey said. We saw local people carrying on their lives no different from any other part of China. Buisness was as usual at the Urumqi Erdaoqiao International Grand Bazaar, where one can get all kinds of Uighur food, cultural and essential products. Children were everywhere, so it is hard to believe that there is genocide going on as claimed by western media. Security was indeed tight and check points were set up on hightways to prevent the type of bombing attack that took place in 2014 again. It baffles me people will believe what they want to believe without questioning the authenticity of all the negative claims.
The reason the US government refuses to send its "human rights" watchdogs into Xinjiang is because these "human rights" watchdogs are controlled and run by the US government and their job is to make up stories about human rights violations against countries that the US government wants to destroy because these countries refused to follow orders sent out by the US government. Because these countries continue to run their country in a way that would mainly benefit themselves and their citizens instead of running their country in a way that would benefit the US only they were invaded by the US military and their governments were destroyed and overthrown by the US government. Once the US government has finished destroying these countries it then picked new leaders (Puppets) who would follow every order that the US government tells them to do. The US has destroyed countless countries that refused to follow its orders and play by its rules. For example, the US invaded Libya because Colonel Gaddafi refused to bowl down to the US's demands that he must privatize his oil reserves so that the US's corporations could own them one day, he must stop his close ties with Russia and other Middle East and African countries that the US did not like, and he must not avoid using the US dollar in his trading with other nations. Gaddafi refused to follow all of those orders and that was the reason the US invaded his country and had him murdered. It had absolutely nothing to do with human rights as the US government had alleged for the US is responsible for nearly all of the human rights violations and human sufferings that have happened within the last 77 years since the end of WW2. The US uses these "human rights" BS excuse to invade and destroy countless countries throughout the world. Some have estimated as many as 95 countries have been destroyed either directly by the US or with the US's involvements in some capacity.
The problem is blaming each other, tit for tat doesn’t work, no one likes criticism, the only way forward is to talk to each other, accept each other and work towards a better future. 🤝
I tried but could get very little detailed information from this guys stories about traveling in Xinjiang. Where did he go? What did he see. What did he photograph? There were no exhibits of his photography. Nothing about where he went. To comprehensively travel through Xinjiang, if it is indeed almost as large as Alaska in the US, would require many months of travel and still you could not see it all on a bicycle.

Thanks! It’s very reassuring to listen this serious and reflective discussion about China.The explanations were lucid and cogent with revealing examples from the field.
It is indeed encouraging to see more and more righteous men, like Jerry Grey, raising their voice for honesty and truth. “Prejudices, it is well known, are most difficult to eradicate from the heart whose soil has never been loosened or fertilised by education: they grow there, firm as weeds among stones.” Wrote Charlotte Bronte, English novelist and poet. What Charlotte didn’t tell us is that prejudice can also be, and often is, the result of decades of propaganda, of miseducation, indoctrination and proselytisation. It is patently clear that many mainstream western media are not free from prejudice or bias, nor are they free from the propensity to deliberately disseminate untruthful or selective information. In fact, the dissemination of bias or fake news are often intentional, calculated at misleading readers, or to justify a certain narrative bias; and often with malicious aim - to demonise and to destabilise China.
Love your sharing. I always like those who has travelled widely and sharing their stories. Xinjiang, i believe is a nice place, and it has been developing very fast. There are several local xinjiang youtubers very popular in youtube and i have been following their daily life stories. Very interesting to me. In the video, i have noticed many ethnicities intermingled happily with each other.
That s not true where you can use youtube in China. Only propagandists are allowed to use youtube for their purpose. Also beautiful place has nothing to do with Uyghurs living conditions! Also Han Chinese dont mingle with Uyghurs unless they need women and sex!

Many thanks - it was a tough day that lives with me still. I do know what terrorism looks like and how it affects people, believe me, there is no terrorism in Xinjiang now and the people there are MUCH better for it - even the Uyghurs
Thank you to tell the truth! I have been to Xinjiang for 3 times in recent 7 years, my observation and experience are the same as you! And, what's wrong requesting a Uyghur (a Chinese national) to learn Chinese? So the Western propaganda is for those who don't understand China to believe. They tried to separate Xinjiang from Mainland China, they want to present Xinjiang is a separate country from China.
Respect to this gentleman for speaking the truth about his experience in Xinjiang even though he would be subjected to hate by anti China people who actually have never been to china but are quick to judge others. One of the sad things is that even though there are people who live or visited Xinjiang and speak the truths, these opinions get suppressed by youtube/western media algorithm that do not show these on searches. Its good that people continue to speak out and hopefully more people have the ability to travel to Xinjiang and tell the truths.

I am an expat from Taiwan , so I wouldn't give unnecessary credit to any wrong doing of the current CCP government. I can attest to the words from this Australian gentleman. I have been to Xinjiang in 2019. I toured the northern part of the province for a full week as a foreign passport holder and an expat of Taiwan on the passport. If there was anything to hide from me because of my supposedly adversarial political standpoint, I would have been restrictive in my freedom of movement. But I wasn't. So were not the other six members of my group who were all Taiwanese.
This man knows what he's talking about. I have been to Urumqi and Turpan, yes there is security but there is no restrictions to where you want to go, great place,
UK police had, for some time since terrorist attacks, the power of stop and search. But in its colonies, Britain had draconian powers such as the infamous Internal Security Act under which anyone under suspicion could be arrested, interrogated (tortured in many cases), and jailed indefinitely. The power of deportation was often exercised in places where Britain allowed migrants into its colonies in order to exploit the natural resources.
I’m from America and agree with Mr. Jerry Grey. Even in America, some schools in poorer neighborhoods have barred wire fencing to prevent crimes in school- so according to BBC definition we also have detention and re-education centers!
As an average Han Chinese, it has never come to my mind that our fellow Uyghur Chinese are the same as those terrorists, not in the slightest way. We were educated the way that 56 different ethnic groups were the same, Uyghur was one of them, Uyghur people were good at singing and dancing, their traditional food was exceptionally delicious and Uyghur people were religious and never serve them pork etc. All other 55 ethnic groups other than Han have had all these different benefits from the government because the government wants them to have better opportunity to improve their lives which I have never heard any Han people being angry about other than a bit jealous.
The problem is blaming each other, tit for tat doesn’t work, no one likes criticism, the only way forward is to talk to each other, accept each other and work towards a better future. 🤝

A brother was there at the Hyde Park bombing. It was his first, and last, night as a qualified paramedic. He still cannot get the smell out of his mind. Terrorism affects more than just the targets and has long lasting problems. I wonder if my brother and Jerry Grey shared any words that night. It tested even the most hardened first responders. Terrorist attacks need to be prevented. The question is how.

You're so right - I received one request for an interview from an Australian news outlet - they asked one question only: Was I misrepresented or edited heavily? My answer was no, I wasn't misrepresented and yes, it was edited, they took out a lot of my more positive aspects - the interview was over an hour but the video only 15 minutes - after the journalist knew he wasn't going to get a story from me expect confirmation of what I've already said, he finished the interview
Loved to see a British tells main steam media blinds the truth, or just shows whatever they want to say. It happen to my American husband too, his American friends think he may arrest to jail soon since he lives in Hong Kong
Using lies, like the west and China bashers are doing can never be justified. Using sloppy "research" such as that claimed by Adrian Zenz is as bad as using false witness for a prosecution. China makes no secret of re-educating many Uyghurs to de-radicalise them as well as to equip them to have a trade to make a living. As for teaching Chinese, all countries teach their citizens the official or National language.

I don't live in China but these videos gave me some idea how hospitable or inhospitable China is to foreigners. Most of these expats seem happy with their lifestyle and some are permanently settled in China. Naturally, I can't confirm they are not all paid by the CCP to post their videos. And of course no one is claiming China, or any country, is perfect.
@Murdoch Ravenhill judging from your other comments on China related vids. Shall we just stop pretending you are giving some kind of honest observations? Haters' gonna hate. Why not just tell us this is who you are? It is really pointless to have any meaningful discussion with someone generalising 1.4b ppl in such a way that Chinese are homogeneous, oppressed, lack of independent thinking and some kind ideology freaks (my takes after reading your post).
If you are not happy with 1.4b, you tell me if it is your problem or their problem? Perhaps you should start with being not narrow minded.
I've been places, never for once did I judge locals by my own standards/experience or crying why they are different from what I think they should be; let alone generalising the entire population.
My advice to people like you: stop being obsessed with something you find it hard to enjoy, leaving each other alone is a better way to manage your frustration.
Xinjiang is huge and has incredible nature and scenery, definitely worth the extra security. Last visited Xinjiang in the spring of 2019 to visit my ailing father inlaw, aside from the extra security we enjoyed the visit. To the contrary we felt much safer because of the security. Jerry mentioned that Xinjiang is multi ethnic and that is part of the attraction, the Uyghur restaurants, food shops and people are wonderful. The Uyghur are thriving and it was amazing to see the changes since my last visit in 2013, they seem to have moved up the economic ladder like the other ethnic groups and Han. Jerry didn't mention that the security forces are also multi ethnic and have many Uighars that are often in senior positions of authority. Sadly, like Jerry I've had family and friends literally attack me when I speak of China honestly. I had to endure some very nutty abuse on the phone where they would yell vitriolic hatred towards a country they have never visited and call me brainwashed. Why were they hurling abuse towards me is even more sad, it was early March and I was warning them to take the pandemic seriously and sharing the success of the Chineses authorities pandemic measures and Grid Management. My goal was simply to help them avoid getting very sick or dying. Sad to lose friends and family to the non-stop hate propaganda doing its work in west.
Years education of bias does root well. They choose to believe whatever media said instead of going there and see it themself. No difference than zombies
the sad reality is when people are bombarded with years and years of lies upon lies . it became truth in their mind. weak mind can easily be brainwashed.
It was long time ago. Uyghur families, businesses, social cohesion, social system, have been systematically ruined.

There is no unified Uyghur ideology, but Pan-Turkism, Uyghur nationalism, and Islamism have all attracted segments of the Uyghur population. Recent incidents include the 1992 Ürümqi bombings, the 1997 Ürümqi bus bombings, the 2010 Aksu bombing, the 2011 Hotan attack, 2011 Kashgar attacks, the 2014 Ürümqi attack, and the 2014 Kunming attack.

Inside the Kunming railway station in Kunming, Yunnan, China, at around 21:20 on 1 March 2014, a group of knife-wielding terrorists attacked passengers at the city's railway station.
Both male and female attackers pulled out long-bladed knives and stabbed and slashed innocent passengers. Four assailants were shot to death by police on the spot, and one injured female perpetrator was captured.
The assailants killed 31 civilians with injuring more than 140 people. On 3 March, police announced that the six-man and a two-woman group had been neutralized after the arrest of three remaining suspects. /WIKIPEDIA

Mr. Jerry Grey, thank you for taking your time to speak the truth. wish you and your family good health, love Hong Kong. I wish people can cross check facts through trustworthy sources, in the case of Xingjing, people like yourself a former police officer from UK and World bank report on Xingjing, etc. The Western government in particular the US government have supported terrorists and try to separate Xingjing from China but fail because Chinese government implement tough securities thus peace is now been restored. US also back some political parties and organisations in HK which promote independence of HK and caused over 1,000 riots in 2019, thus China had to implement security laws to protect HK. While Western countries also have such security law and in US the penalty for separatist movement with highest punishment is death penalty which HK is just life imprisonment. US basically don’t want to give up their bulling dominance of the world because of the raise of China and they want to destroy China at all cost. This is a bad decision that US think tank have chosen to attack China, China will not allow US to destroy China because China is no longer the China of old and it will surely put up a fight because US wants to destroy China like they destroy Britain and Japan. A better solution or a wiser solution is for US to accept China and work together for the benefit of the world, if one understand China, China wants peace and harmony and not war or occupy others, beside how long does an average individual live on this planet? Why not set up a good system for your children and grand children to enjoy. Why waste so much money on military? Instead, utilise the money on your people to better their lives. Win win situation. God bless humanity.
We know that Chinese people live in harmony and security for everyone living in China 🇨🇳 no matter what religion or ethnicity they are!!!

Well Jerry Grey, thank you so much for this briefing. America is so inclined in stopping or slowing down China from displacing them as the world leader nation, that they've gone wild in spreading misinformation around the world, sanctioning allies if they don't abide by their rules. So it's refreshing to get a positive view from an Australian ex-cope who casually travels there.
That is your story and you are sticking to it right?
The Anglophile agenda is more than just slowing China's growth. It is part of an active strategy to contain China by surrounding China with unrest and chaos. It's not just the instigation of Xinjiang but one should also look at it in the context of actions in Hong Kong, Tibet and the ASEAN nations

Few years ago, a group of Indonesian clerics from the national highest Islamic authority were sent by the government to Xinjiang to see the situation in the region. When they returned, they reported what they saw which is favorable and claimed no oppression or discrimination there. Some hardliner group called them liars and they were bribed by Chinese government. Those clerics only answered "We can't lie and tell people what we didn't see there"
The clerics couldn't see it. Because they were all in concentration camps.

Western countries will never give up their attempts to discredit China on Xinjiang issue. In July 2019, around 50 ambassadors to the UN at Geneva signed a joint letter to the president of the UN Human Rights Council and the Office of UN High Commissioner for Human Rights to voice their support for China's governance in Xinjiang.

@@panzerfaust3366 , You got this from Falun Gong? The CIA financed lie tellers?
We visited Urumqi, Xinjiang in September 2018. Our experience there concurs with what Jerry Grey said. We saw local people carrying on their lives no different from any other part of China. Buisness was as usual at the Urumqi Erdaoqiao International Grand Bazaar, where one can get all kinds of Uighur food, cultural and essential products. Children were everywhere, so it is hard to believe that there is genocide going on as claimed by western media. Security was indeed tight and check points were set up on hightways to prevent the type of bombing attack that took place in 2014 again. It baffles me people will believe what they want to believe without questioning the authenticity of all the negative claims.
The reason the US government refuses to send its "human rights" watchdogs into Xinjiang is because these "human rights" watchdogs are controlled and run by the US government and their job is to make up stories about human rights violations against countries that the US government wants to destroy because these countries refused to follow orders sent out by the US government. Because these countries continue to run their country in a way that would mainly benefit themselves and their citizens instead of running their country in a way that would benefit the US only they were invaded by the US military and their governments were destroyed and overthrown by the US government. Once the US government has finished destroying these countries it then picked new leaders (Puppets) who would follow every order that the US government tells them to do. The US has destroyed countless countries that refused to follow its orders and play by its rules.
For example, the US invaded Libya because Colonel Gaddafi refused to bowl down to the US's demands that he must privatize his oil reserves so that the US's corporations could own them one day, he must stop his close ties with Russia and other Middle East and African countries that the US did not like, and he must not avoid using the US dollar in his trading with other nations. Gaddafi refused to follow all of those orders and that was the reason the US invaded his country and had him murdered. It had absolutely nothing to do with human rights as the US government had alleged for the US is responsible for nearly all of the human rights violations and human sufferings that have happened within the last 77 years since the end of WW2. The US uses these "human rights" BS excuse to invade and destroy countless countries throughout the world. Some have estimated as many as 95 countries have been destroyed either directly by the US or with the US's involvements in some capacity.
I think we will face more problems going to US and Australia than Xinjiang.

I have travelled widely in Xinjiang on a number of occasions. Your observations concur with mine.
This guy explanations is very clear and straight to the point. Respect this guy.
I tried but could get very little detailed information from this guys stories about traveling in Xinjiang. Where did he go? What did he see. What did he photograph? There were no exhibits of his photography. Nothing about where he went. To comprehensively travel through Xinjiang, if it is indeed almost as large as Alaska in the US, would require many months of travel and still you could not see it all on a bicycle.
I started going to China in 2002, after that I will go there once a year or twice a year. Been to different parts of China. Like a lot of people that never step into China, I rely on information from the media.
I have my doubts and worry about going to China. What I didn't expect is the culture shock and how fun it can be. So far people I met are friendly and helpful.

Thanks! It’s very reassuring to listen this serious and reflective discussion about China.The explanations were lucid and cogent with revealing examples from the field.
It is indeed encouraging to see more and more righteous men, like Jerry Grey, raising their voice for honesty and truth.
“Prejudices, it is well known, are most difficult to eradicate from the heart whose soil has never been loosened or fertilised by education: they grow there, firm as weeds among stones.” Wrote Charlotte Bronte, English novelist and poet.
What Charlotte didn’t tell us is that prejudice can also be, and often is, the result of decades of propaganda, of miseducation, indoctrination and proselytisation.
It is patently clear that many mainstream western media are not free from prejudice or bias, nor are they free from the propensity to deliberately disseminate untruthful or selective information.
In fact, the dissemination of bias or fake news are often intentional, calculated at misleading readers, or to justify a certain narrative bias; and often with malicious aim - to demonise and to destabilise China.
Love your sharing. I always like those who has travelled widely and sharing their stories.
Xinjiang, i believe is a nice place, and it has been developing very fast.
There are several local xinjiang youtubers very popular in youtube and i have been following their daily life stories. Very interesting to me. In the video, i have noticed many ethnicities intermingled happily with each other.
That s not true where you can use youtube in China. Only propagandists are allowed to use youtube for their purpose. Also beautiful place has nothing to do with Uyghurs living conditions!

I still remember that day. I also remember how the buses and tube stations were bombed in 2001. London has suffered her unfair share of bombings.
Thank you to tell the truth! I have been to Xinjiang for 3 times in recent 7 years, my observation and experience are the same as you! And, what's wrong requesting a Uyghur (a Chinese national) to learn Chinese? So the Western propaganda is for those who don't understand China to believe. They tried to separate Xinjiang from Mainland China, they want to present Xinjiang is a separate country from China.
Exactly and we can see in the TH-cam, many incidents where the Americans (Whites) are shouting at the minorities for not speaking English.
You mean forced a Uyghur to speak mandarin? There's no language called chinese. SB
Respect to this gentleman for speaking the truth about his experience in Xinjiang even though he would be subjected to hate by anti China people who actually have never been to china but are quick to judge others. One of the sad things is that even though there are people who live or visited Xinjiang and speak the truths, these opinions get suppressed by youtube/western media algorithm that do not show these on searches. Its good that people continue to speak out and hopefully more people have the ability to travel to Xinjiang and tell the truths.

I am an expat from Taiwan , so I wouldn't give unnecessary credit to any wrong doing of the current CCP government. I can attest to the words from this Australian gentleman. I have been to Xinjiang in 2019. I toured the northern part of the province for a full week as a foreign passport holder and an expat of Taiwan on the passport. If there was anything to hide from me because of my supposedly adversarial political standpoint, I would have been restrictive in my freedom of movement. But I wasn't. So were not the other six members of my group who were all Taiwanese.

UK police had, for some time since terrorist attacks, the power of stop and search. But in its colonies, Britain had draconian powers such as the infamous Internal Security Act under which anyone under suspicion could be arrested, interrogated (tortured in many cases), and jailed indefinitely. The power of deportation was often exercised in places where Britain allowed migrants into its colonies in order to exploit the natural resources.
You're talking about Britain from another generation, are they not allowed to improve or change their world view since then ?
I’m from America and agree with Mr. Jerry Grey. Even in America, some schools in poorer neighborhoods have barred wire fencing to prevent crimes in school- so according to BBC definition we also have detention and re-education centers!
I agree! I been there, it's a beautiful place!
As an average Han Chinese, it has never come to my mind that our fellow Uyghur Chinese are the same as those terrorists, not in the slightest way. We were educated the way that 56 different ethnic groups were the same, Uyghur was one of them, Uyghur people were good at singing and dancing, their traditional food was exceptionally delicious and Uyghur people were religious and never serve them pork etc. All other 55 ethnic groups other than Han have had all these different benefits from the government because the government wants them to have better opportunity to improve their lives which I have never heard any Han people being angry about other than a bit jealous.

China makes no secret of re-educating many Uyghurs to de-radicalise them as well as to equip them to have a trade to make a living. As for teaching Chinese, all countries teach their citizens the official or National language.
