China's ambassador denies abuse of Uighurs in Xinjiang during Andrew Marr interview

- China’s ambassador to the UK has denied reports of abuse of the Uighur population in the Xinjiang region, as he was confronted with footage of shackled prisoners being herded on to trains. Appearing on the BBC's Andrew Marr Show, Liu Xiaoming said: 'I do not know where you get this videotape,' adding, 'sometimes you have a transfer of prisoners, in any country.' Xinjiang is home to China's Uighurs, a predominantly Muslim ethnic group that has been subjected to religious and ethnic persecution by Chinese authorities in recent years.

thanks for the link
We are in interesting times.
@Magna Carta Why don't you comment on the topic at hand, which is the human rights abuses by China, rather than getting stuck in this left/right paradigm of your own local country? Don't you think there are bigger issues at stake than whether or not you buy a particular newspaper? I might agree with your politics, for sure, but I think you really are missing the point.

WHY IS THE NEWS NOT TALKING AB THIS IN THE US?? ALL I EVER SEE IS COVID AND TRUMP
Mainstream news has relations to China so they cover this up.. A lot of conservative news cover this. Trump is currently enforcing harsher policies on china
@@catballsefv34 Yeah and Pompeo is blasting big tech and Hollywod for helping the CCP for many years
Cause mainstream media is misinformation and distraction. Orange man bad for 4 years instead of reporting real news.

If it is being talked in the US. It will be labeled as Trump’s attempt to blame China for his re-election.
Do you ever get the feeling that it was maybe a bad idea to move all production to China....

Not based on this evidence, no. Why could it not be transferring prisoners?

The ambassador is just making excuses to protect his neck when he gets back home
Trust me, he is part of the Chinese political polite. He's one of the gang that do the chopping, not get chopped. He benefits massively from the oppressive regime.

Interesting. This is literally Left wing Tyranny yet people still speak of right wing Tyranny to refer to it
It should be in every nation's interest to be as self sustained as possible. Reliance on any authoritarian dictatorship undermines our own strength and safety.
But having your economy closely entwined with a great power minimises the chance of war with that power
Self-sustaining nations are generally not very strong nations only through cooperation can we become stronger and more resilient. Of course it does open up vulnerabilities as well.
Mmm, not really. Obviously, china is now a threat to the whole world. But countries need to work each other. You should know that not even a single country could have all the things they have if they wouldn't work with others. There are many examples like trades of food, technology, etc. If you search a little bit, not even China could make a single smartphone by their own. They need a lot of technology that they don't have but other countries have.

"Any country has prisoners"
Classic
But here in the US it won’t be covered because it supports Trump’s position on China yet seeing people being put on trains and killed for their organs should not be a political issue.
I'm sure they are """""”""""""""""""""""''"''""prisoners'"""""""""""""""""'""''''''''''
Even if they were prisoners, so what? Every country would transfer their prisoners thru train or bus.
what is their crime ? Anti Han race crime ?
まぐろマグロ Any prisoners could be from a minority race. They could break the law. Anyone who was not familiar with the background (why they broke the law, why they was transfer, and etc) could not say this is concentration camp or similar thing. Is it right or fair? If I had a video that the prisoner bus in a certain country was filled with Asian, black or Latino prisoners, i would comment that the country is racism. What do you think?
@@xiwenli9696 We have no idea because China won't let us know of our legal status. Whereas every prisoner in the US has their legal and case status as a matter of public record, and are tried in a court of law. Nothing wrong with locking up people as long as they are proven guilty and given due process, but China doesn't do that
They ate going on forced holidays in 5 star resort. Obviously

@安喜 *Username checks out.*
The interviewer asked about the population of Uyghur people, but the Chinese ambassador answered the population growth of Xinjiang as a whole.
The population growth is mainly due to Han Chinese migrating to the region, not because of Uyghur people giving birth.
The ambassador was very dishonest and deceptive.
You think he would have all the stats to hand....true, he should have just said he doesn't know.
the same type of invasion was done to Tibet.
No, the Uighur population really did double since Mao (5 mio in 1982, 10 mio in 2010) but that doesn't debunk the interviewer's claim that births have significantly decreased in the Uighur population in the last couple years.
@Daniel McGrath I didn't say there's nothing wrong with the developments in Xinjiang. I merely pointed out misinformation
If the situation in Xinjiang is not getting better, there won't be anybody migrating there. Han is the major population in China, so they naturally contribute most to the increasing population.
He is that homie in the gang who ain't a snitch.
this man has no shame
he's like a lawyer for china, they defend serial killers but i'm sure it's not really 'personal'.
If he wants to be honorable to keep his face, he will lose his head. Not only that, CCP will make sure, his family will get lobotomized, have organs extracted and their carcass preserved for body exhibition. So no, he can't have his personal opinion. What we see in this video is how the terror is effectively controlling Chinese society.
because he is chinese
The whole country has no shame.....they are killing their own people and enslaving the rest aka cheap labor.
It's his job. Ambassadors are the whipping posts for other countries. He plays dumb and takes the criticism while staying true to the party line. That's how it's always worked. Still disgraceful.
Once you get past the genocide, it's a beautiful place.
So, he’s admitted the Uighurs are the prisoners, and that’s why they’re blindfolded and tortured and out into concentration camps. It doesn’t take the interviewer to say a few more words to get this out of that flagrant ambassador
Why would chinese torture these people... Smh. 🤦♂️

In full ver. China's ambassador says populations are double in 40 years in Xinjiang and denies ethnic cleansing ,but this increasing is by settlement of Han Chinese. Chinese government sends many Han Chinese to Uighur's land. It is a social increase, not a Uighur's natural increase.
Same was done to Tibet.
You misunderstood him: He referred to the Uighur population that doubled in the last 40 years. You're talking about the total population which has tripled in the same time (the han population increased from 5% to 40% since 1949).
Xijiang is not only Uighur’s land. Han Chinese settled in Xinjiang 500 years before Uighurs.

China ambassador didn't denied anything. He wasn't informed about the fact that it's a video about the movement of Uyghur separatist inmates. They aren't trainees, like all the people that wear the blue outfits and usual length hair inside a school protected from ETIM attacks. The difference is blatant, but it's hardly noted by small minded people, like that so called journalist.
Utterly disturbing 😳

Show full interview
There was a ~1:30 version that has been removed / made private. I watched it earlier today. During the later part of the video, the ambassador threw out a stat that the population of that area had grown from 4 to 11MM. The host pushed back saying that, "although that may be true, the Uighur population specifically had decreased by 80%" (if my memory serves). The ambassador obfuscated and just reiterated that the general population had grown by > 2x as if to prove there was no genocide taking place. I just tried to show my wife the video about half an hour ago and it stopped halfway through with an error message saying the video had been made private. Insane.
@Kyle Westwood Correct. I left comments and now video is gone.
You can watch the full video on the BBC website, it's nothing much though. The ambassador constantly tries to change the conversation and says the Chinese-governments own statistics on Uighur population decline is untrue ( which I doubt ).

"Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth. Sooner or later that debt is paid."
I am not surprised. Andrew asked a simple question yet the ambassador is clearly more concerned that he has managed to source the video.
