The speech and the action, why do westerners only emphasize the complete freedom of speech, but keep silent about the complete freedom of action? For example, I want to cross an intersection at any time, but traffic rules and traffic lights limit this action freedom. here Im not against traffic rules, I just want to say that all the logic of the existence of traffic rules can be completely applied to speech. In other words, speech also needs a set of "traffic rules and traffic lights."
In comparison, I think freedom of thought is more important. Not being bound by various religions is much more important than complete freedom of speech.
also the framing of the whole video from the point of clintons speech, and especially when he showed again what Clinton said about conrtolling the internet "good luck". Also the clip of naiiling jello to a wall was a very nice touch
WTF are you talking about? Social media is filled to the brim with criticism of Israel. I watched 6 videos openly criticizing them this week. People trash them all over social media. Criticism of the Hanification of China is non existent on Chinese social media. Go and say free Hong Kong and see what happens.
You can't? I've seen tons of videos very critical of Israel in social media recently on TH-cam. You just have to type a few words but they will absolutely appear. 🤔
@@abbasuccess3155 The anonymity and anti-human aspect of the internet inherently makes it spread evil and delusional ideas faster than good ideas. A lie makes it around the world 7 times before the truth ties its shoelaces.
Anytime you hear DeepSeek, CCP, Taiwan, Tiananmen in the same sentence you know they’re getting desperate and despaired. A lot of people are losing a lot of money.
damn skippy, they just xpose themselves. Nobody cares about a tiny color event that happened 30 years ago other than people who got paid to say those things. These same ppl are often awfully quiet about certain other events in other parts of the world, that are considered a BILLION times worse. But not a single word about those. But always the same "haha see gotcha, they censor u" . As if anyone cares about a failed colorful protest. All they have left, is to regurtitate events from over 30 years ago! let that sink in, the pure desperation
In a democracy or we can say wanna be democracy. There is a 50% chance of you speaking your hearts content. But in a communist country you get no speaking rights, like none.
People need to stop assuming the internet is necessary to generate social movements. They have existed for thousands of years before the internet was invented, the only thing we do by fetishizing the internet as a social cohesion tool (which arguably divides more than it unifies) is to generate more conformity.
Without liberalism then any grassroots movement is basically dead on arrival. If its too radical then it will quite literally be dead on arrival, with the Gestapo or KGB knocking on your door. You have no leverage on the powers above you besides some soft advocacy (like how Putin tries to appeal to the communists in Russia). Or like Deng Xiaoping who was convinced to open up China to the global market. Dictators are only swayed by positive reinforcement
Do you often socialise in disguise while shouting behind a hedge? Most of us aren't in our daily lives. Internet, to serve its purpose for democracy, has to adapt to social norms. Sadly undemocratic America is controlling most of its social aspects as of now and it's a nation that isn't able to comprehend that freedom doesn't come without responsibility. But fundamentally the world just has 'a sociopath problem', no matter which side of the firewall you are.
If you ask OpenAI about Israel- Palestine it will give you a “it’s too complicated’ answer, which shows American bias. If you ask Deepseek the same question and ask it to stick to facts you get a much more balanced and truthful answer.
Then you're just bad at asking questions. My whole job revolves about OpenAI and llms. OpenAI doesn't actively censor controversial american events, despite it being an American company in America. Openai attempts to start more neutral, but you can force answers out of it by asking follow up questions. Ofc there are biases due to training data, but you can definitely make GPT talk negatively about either side with ease.

underrated comment. misinformation/disinformation/censorship are all adversaries of freedom-of-speech. pretty much anything that artificially manipulates the true value of information... which can also be measured as convenience.
The video criticizing China's internet control presents a one-sided view, framing it as inherently negative. However, it fails to consider the broader context, particularly when comparing China's approach to the unchecked "freedom" of the internet in the United States. While the video portrays China's internet regulation as oppressive, it overlooks the consequences of a completely unregulated digital space, which has contributed to the U.S. sliding toward a more authoritarian, expansionist, and fascist regime In my view, China made the right decision to protect its internet from American influence. It is evident that China today is far more democratic than the U.S., if we understand democracy as ensuring the well-being and will of the people, rather than merely voting for a president. It’s worth noting that China also holds elections, though not for a president, and has never imposed its system on other countries. Meanwhile, the U.S. claims for democracy while its policies increasingly benefit only the billionaire class, not the working population. For instance, China's minimum wage has doubled over the past decade, while in the U.S., it has remained stagnant for over 20 years. Meanwhile, the wealth of American billionaires continues to grow at an alarming rate, fueled by exploitation and inequality. As someone from South America, I can attest that the U.S. has no moral authority to speak about democracy. Historically, the U.S. has financed and supported dictatorships and fascist groups across Latin America, and this interference continues to this day. This is well documented in history books and evident in the struggles of our region. The so called "freedom" promoted by the U.S. comes at the expense of Latin America's exploitation and suffering In conclusion, contrary to what the video suggest. that the lack of protests in China is due to internet control under an authoritarian regime. I believe that can be ONE reason but the real reason is that the lives of Chinese workers have consistently improved. This progress fosters social stability and reduces the need for widespread dissent. The video’s narrative overlooks this crucial point, instead framing China’s policies as purely oppressive. In reality, the Chinese government’s focus on improving living standards and ensuring economic growth has created a society where the majority of people see tangible benefits, which is the true foundation of stability.
as Chinese I need to say the people who uses vpn to access Google youtube Twitter is not a big deal.despite It is illegal the government did not enforce the law strictly so that probably one hundred million Chinese people surf on the international Internet without any misgiving. the government probably want to establish a threshold to protect the kids.but adult can jump across the great fire wall
if they really wanted to shut off the VPNs the Chinese government could do so on a whim, as it happens on occasion during big political events. It makes sense now seeing how the media has been used as a psyops weapon against under educated or easily influenced populations to destabilize target nations.

Good video, but with some inaccuracy. The Tiananmen Square massacre wasn’t exactly a protest for democracy, much more over education and corruption, some of them were there also for democracy, but didn’t started for that. Also the lack of major protests isn’t exactly as correlated to the censorship as you imply, It is much more correlated to the social and economical improvements of the last 20 years. The Chinese had a much more positive attitude to the future compared to the west. Good video, but focus to much on the understanding of the world by an American perspective, not a Chinese one
Yes the inability think wider or intentional purpose to missinformed his viewer. American gov already known for their ability to install regime friendly to its interest. Imagine if they succeeded, western bankers will crazy rich exploiting China now bc according to their rule you only can to get credit with high interest with foreign lenders. All your profitable industry,real estate,mines must sell to wall street. Ask Iraq,Libya, Latin America they know live is getting better bc American influence😅😅
Just to add, the Tiananmen massacre was a myth. No denying that there were casualties in the 1989 uprising. The number of casualties varies dramatically depending on the source. A state report published in the Government Gazette of the State Council about a month after the riots, cites at least 200 "non-soldier casualties," while other reports show higher numbers. For example, a New York Times field correspondent estimated 400 to 800 deaths shortly after the clashes. Some sources, such as a secret diplomatic cable released in 2017, have cited 10,000 killings in the events surrounding the Tiananmen uprising, but reporters present in China at the time generally doubt this figure. There are no reliable estimates about how many people were killed in those events, not only in Beijing, but also in other cities, and not only protesters but also onlookers. But the fact that the army killed scores of unarmed people is beyond question. Lastly, the term ''Tiananmen Square Massacre'' is often used by US officials like the US Foreign Ministers over the years.

Bill Clinton misjudged the situation by believing that China would start respecting WTO rules once it joined. He allowed China to become a member despite its non-market economy status and continued disregard for WTO trade rules. In my view, the Great Firewall is more an example of market protectionism and a non-WTO market economy than censorship. The reality was that America was eager to access China's vast pool of cheap labor, underestimating the long-term consequences. Fast forward 20 years, and the situation has evolved. Initially, the struggle was to compete with an endless supply of cheap, educated labor in mega supply chain cities, where workers lacked rights and faced no manufacturing disruptions. Now, the challenge is to compete with the Chinese market and its enormous new middle class.

This is the truth most opinion pieces on China's firewall miss. If it cared that much to control certain narratives they'd be more aggressive (like VPNs) but they don't because it isn't the main goal
Its not like the Americans respect the WTO rules either, they massively subsidize farm exports, to make them more competitive.. Now that manufacturing has tipped in China's favor they have started sanctioning countries which help china or impose massive tariffs on Chinese companies, Chinese companies would wipe the floor with American car companies if not for the sanctions, its funny how hypocratic the US can be...
Funny how many parallels you can draw to China's approach to policing internet discourse to the UK's handling of internet discussion it deems harmful. Rather than the West influencing China, it seems to have happened the other way around in a lot of cases.
i feel like hate speech is different to critique of the government. the uk only censors hate speech, which is directly harmful to the people it affects.
As a Chinese using VPN,I trust gobal communication is great,but we need time to adjust,we cannot let it ruin our country.After all,the internet was only born for 35 years.
Global communication is great but it's fully of misinformation, disinformation, anti-China propaganda and biases. Be very very careful. Don't think the rest of the world is as free as the western media tells you, it's not. It's full of lies and one sided narratives out there.

It's weird that common Chinese citizen voluntarily justify those shit actions made by CCP. GROW UP!! It's never gonna ruin China, only would ruin someone's power to control everything.
He was both right and wrong - yes Chinese users can use VPNs, and the internet is a great place to hide for those who want to. But, on the other hand, China has shown that it can effectively prevent the internet from being used to forge a mass movement - and in the end, who really cares about a scattered few dissidents when you successfully control the society as a whole?
It is obviously a constant arms race. One VPN is blocked, another ten crops up. Doesn't change the fact that the Chinese "Internet" is not isolated no matter how much the party would like to think so. If you want to get outside of it, it is not a difficult task.
No, what truly matters is the literacy standard of voting population, because it's the people who make demands for certain changes. Does not matter how many parties there are, they will have to listen to people who have knowledge up to date with technology and current affairs
I'm Chinese and I think the Great Firewall has certain benefits: 1. Google's exit from China was not due to any so-called democracy, but because its Chinese search function was inferior to Baidu (a Chinese Internet company). 2. The Great Firewall gives China the opportunity to cultivate its own Internet companies and become the country with the most developed Internet industry in the world after the United States. 3. The Chinese government does not care about ordinary people using VPNs to bypass the Great Firewall, and it is not considered a crime. In fact, there are many free and paid VPN software available for download on the Chinese Internet. Those who can't even download a VPN software are truly of low cognitive ability and are more likely to be deceived by various low-intelligence anti-China videos on the English Internet. For those who can bypass the Great Firewall, they at least have some ability to judge the authenticity of information.
Yeah, I'm also Chinese and a middle school student. Gov has ability to close all websites, servers, nodes of VPN if they truly cut off foregin wide. But they have didn't do that
🤣.. so that means you know what's happening in south east asia and the Chinese Casino doing human traffic on fellow chinese citizens and chinese women , to work in Chinese Casino in Cambodia, Myanmar and Thailand, and the CCP isn't doing anything to help??....

Have you been to china and on chinese social media? Do you speak and read mandarin? Please dont make a video about a topic which you dont know anything about. People dont want democracy in China - and there is so plenty of criticism of chinese gov on chinese social media - how u think the covid protests happened? Also you can call 12345 to report issues to local gov and usually they take care of the problem pretty quick. The only thing you cannot do is plot a protest to overthrow the gov. If you are true journalist go to china talk to the people on the street inside of posting these poorly made propaganda videos.
As a Chinese person, I can share my perspective on this issue. On one hand, the U.S. has used various methods to promote what it calls a "democratization process" in China. However, their true intention isn't to genuinely help China become democratic, but rather to manipulate the public and push for the overthrow of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). For decades, they have used this strategy to encourage regime change in ways that benefit their own interests. On the other hand, the CCP does conduct large-scale censorship, especially targeting discussions about Xi Jinping. For example, on social media, any comments about Xi or the CCP are not allowed. The government imposes strict control over news, such as when Xi visited a market in Shenyang last week, and a suicide bombing occurred there three days later. You won’t find any related information on Chinese websites, and comments will be deleted. The CCP is extremely sensitive now. As the video mentioned, they fear people gathering-whether it's for Halloween cosplay in parks, or large groups riding bikes on the street. Even if there are police maintaining order, simply gathering to sing is unacceptable to the CCP. They fear crowds, opinions, and any foreign influence, so they choose to ban all of it. In summary, the CCP is afraid that the public might be misled by false information or foreign forces, so they’ve built the Great Firewall. They also fear any challenge to their authority, which is why they carry out extensive censorship to remove any dissenting voices. Finally, I want to mention that successful Chinese products like TikTok, DeepSeek, and games like *Black Myth: Wukong* and *Genshin Impact* have no direct connection to the CCP. The government usually only takes notice of these products after they’ve succeeded. I hope this doesn’t make you dislike these products or games.
Chinese are too nice to the American and the west I should say (I'm not saying you guys should be rude to them but be careful of what they are trying to do to you China!). You guys need to know more about the true intention of the west, you will be surprised and you should really be worried of the west. Like you said, USA trying to spread democracy in China is not for the good of the Chinese people but rather for the interest of American empire and how they can easily manipulated and destabilized your country using the excuses of democracy and overthrow your government. They have overthrown many democratic government and installed dictatorship or authoritarian or puppets government in countries like Iran, Ukraine and many countries in Latin America. It's never about democracy vs Communism. It's all about maintaining US hegemony over the world. Remember the 'China hundred years of humiliation' in the hands of western powers. This should give you a clue that if China let the west manipulate the Chinese internal affairs and politics, China will suffer another 200 years of humiliation. Brutal history lesson should be taken seriously as the west is trying to play out the same playbook to destabilized China. The west, US in particular, can't seem to wait for China to collapsed and it's people to suffer like in the past. Be careful.!

I’m an ex-IBMer used to visiting Shanghai hub every month up to just over 10 years ago…. Actually” China’s great firewall” was designed and sold to CCP by IBM and CISCO as joint project to the order from CCP because of China had no technology to do so by themselves about over 20years ago. And we IBM started to call it “China’s Great Firewall” internally when we saw that CCP started to use it cutting off their own people from rest of the world on internet. IBM and CISCO closed almost all offices and fired many Chinse employees in the last year China… Such a change of CCP China after Xi became their chairman, it seems like they are going back to behind of the bamboo curtain again like pre 1970’s.

Criticism of the Hanification of China is non existent on Chinese social media. Go and say free Hong Kong and see what happens.
You can't? I've seen tons of videos very critical of Israel in social media recently on TH-cam. You just have to type a few words but they will absolutely appear. 🤔

Anytime you hear DeepSeek, CCP, Taiwan, Tiananmen in the same sentence you know they’re getting desperate and despaired. A lot of people are losing a lot of money.
damn skippy, they just xpose themselves. Nobody cares about a tiny color event that happened 30 years ago other than people who got paid to say those things. These same ppl are often awfully quiet about certain other events in other parts of the world, that are considered a BILLION times worse. But not a single word about those. But always the same "haha see gotcha, they censor u" . As if anyone cares about a failed colorful protest.
All they have left, is to regurtitate events from over 30 years ago! let that sink in, the pure desperation
He mentioned Tiananmen like 10 times in this video, lol. Too lazy to even research China to criticize a real problem that average Chinese care about.
还说天安门是违禁词，笑了，他们知道天安门的原始含义吗？连汉字都看不懂的人说天安门是违禁词，有种智障教书的美。说64是敏感词还有点道理，说天安门就是搞笑的。另外，中国普通人有几个谁关注64啊，批评共产党都批不到点上。但凡你说个996、农村养老金，我都当你真的了解过中国现状。sb西方人以为整天复读天安门就能让中国人造反，我只能说他们的脑子🧠该治治了。

People need to stop assuming the internet is necessary to generate social movements. They have existed for thousands of years before the internet was invented, the only thing we do by fetishizing the internet as a social cohesion tool (which arguably divides more than it unifies) is to generate more conformity.
Communication is key , faster means greater chances of revolution
Faster can mean great chances of misinformation too. And you know how politician and riches control internet.@@programmersdiary6859
Without liberalism then any grassroots movement is basically dead on arrival. If its too radical then it will quite literally be dead on arrival, with the Gestapo or KGB knocking on your door. You have no leverage on the powers above you besides some soft advocacy (like how Putin tries to appeal to the communists in Russia). Or like Deng Xiaoping who was convinced to open up China to the global market. Dictators are only swayed by positive reinforcement
Do you often socialise in disguise while shouting behind a hedge? Most of us aren't in our daily lives. Internet, to serve its purpose for democracy, has to adapt to social norms. Sadly undemocratic America is controlling most of its social aspects as of now and it's a nation that isn't able to comprehend that freedom doesn't come without responsibility. But fundamentally the world just has 'a sociopath problem', no matter which side of the firewall you are.
How does the internet divide more than it unifies?
If you ask OpenAI about Israel- Palestine it will give you a “it’s too complicated’ answer, which shows American bias. If you ask Deepseek the same question and ask it to stick to facts you get a much more balanced and truthful answer.
Then you're just bad at asking questions. My whole job revolves about OpenAI and llms. OpenAI doesn't actively censor controversial american events, despite it being an American company in America. Openai attempts to start more neutral, but you can force answers out of it by asking follow up questions. Ofc there are biases due to training data, but you can definitely make GPT talk negatively about either side with ease.
@@LAKD I asked OpenAI a political question about Israel, and it said, "Error, the word country, region and so on is not supported." I changed the country to China and asked the same question, and it answered smoothly. I don't care about Israel, what gets under my skin is to see people publicly double standards. You definitely have your own narrative.
@@LAKD no, because american actually dont own the country. The real power is willing to hide behind the scence. There is no diff between China and America.
@@lianghao7128 No, you didn't. I've done exactly that, and it gives long, detailed answers that honestly felt more pro-Palestine than anything.
I cannot stand this propaganda. Like, do you think no one will question what you say?
@ Give me your question, you can write it down, let me see it.
Actually, misinformation and disinformation are worse than censorship.
like a chinese slang says：a lie told one thousand of times is truth
No it’s the other way around.
The speech and the action, why do westerners only emphasize the complete freedom of speech, but keep silent about the complete freedom of action? For example I want to cross an intersection at any time, but traffic rules and traffic lights limit this action freedom.
Here Im not against traffic rules, I just mean that all the logic of the existence of traffic rules can be completely applied to speech.
In other words, speech also needs a set of "traffic rules and traffic lights."
In comparison, I think freedom of thought is more important. Not being bound by various religions is much more important than complete freedom of speech.
underrated comment. misinformation/disinformation/censorship are all adversaries of freedom-of-speech. pretty much anything that artificially manipulates the true value of information... which can also be measured as convenience.
@ why 😇
The video criticizing China's internet control presents a one-sided view, framing it as inherently negative. However, it fails to consider the broader context, particularly when comparing China's approach to the unchecked "freedom" of the internet in the United States. While the video portrays China's internet regulation as oppressive, it overlooks the consequences of a completely unregulated digital space, which has contributed to the U.S. sliding toward a more authoritarian, expansionist, and fascist regime
In my view, China made the right decision to protect its internet from American influence. It is evident that China today is far more democratic than the U.S., if we understand democracy as ensuring the well-being and will of the people, rather than merely voting for a president. It’s worth noting that China also holds elections, though not for a president, and has never imposed its system on other countries. Meanwhile, the U.S. claims for democracy while its policies increasingly benefit only the billionaire class, not the working population. For instance, China's minimum wage has doubled over the past decade, while in the U.S., it has remained stagnant for over 20 years. Meanwhile, the wealth of American billionaires continues to grow at an alarming rate, fueled by exploitation and inequality.
As someone from South America, I can attest that the U.S. has no moral authority to speak about democracy. Historically, the U.S. has financed and supported dictatorships and fascist groups across Latin America, and this interference continues to this day. This is well documented in history books and evident in the struggles of our region. The so called "freedom" promoted by the U.S. comes at the expense of Latin America's exploitation and suffering
In conclusion, contrary to what the video suggest. that the lack of protests in China is due to internet control under an authoritarian regime. I believe that can be ONE reason but the real reason is that the lives of Chinese workers have consistently improved. This progress fosters social stability and reduces the need for widespread dissent. The video’s narrative overlooks this crucial point, instead framing China’s policies as purely oppressive. In reality, the Chinese government’s focus on improving living standards and ensuring economic growth has created a society where the majority of people see tangible benefits, which is the true foundation of stability.

as Chinese I need to say the people who uses vpn to access Google youtube Twitter is not a big deal.despite It is illegal the government did not enforce the law strictly so that probably one hundred million Chinese people surf on the international Internet without any misgiving. the government probably want to establish a threshold to protect the kids.but adult can jump across the great fire wall
if they really wanted to shut off the VPNs the Chinese government could do so on a whim, as it happens on occasion during big political events. It makes sense now seeing how the media has been used as a psyops weapon against under educated or easily influenced populations to destabilize target nations.

.China's social stability and development are evident. The Chinese enjoy democratic rights, freedoms, and a high - quality life. False smears won't succeed.
.The 1989 events in China are different from anti - China lies. China follows the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, promoting development and harmony.
.China's network management, like the "firewall", safeguards network security, citizens' privacy, and national security. Filtering content maintains a healthy network, not suppress free speech.
.Claims of "state - backed hackers" are baseless smears. China defends network security and combats cyber - attacks.
.Ground News spreads misinformation and is an anti - China propaganda tool.
.There's no large - scale news censorship in China. The media environment is diverse, and Western outlets often spread false info.
.China's network management is for legitimate reasons like security and rights protection, not criticism suppression. Illegal VPN use violates laws, not for "circumventing censorship".
.The idea of using language for "anti - censorship" is baseless speculation.
.The claim of thousands arrested for online criticism is a lie. China punishes illegal acts, not legitimate criticism. So - called "dissidents" trying to undermine stability are dealt with legally.

.Blocking foreign social media protects national security, etc. Domestic platforms grow on user - centered services, not as "knockoffs".
.Censorship in China ensures a healthy network, in line with public interests. Tech firms' content review follows laws and ethics.

Good video, but with some inaccuracy. The Tiananmen Square massacre wasn’t exactly a protest for democracy, much more over education and corruption, some of them were there also for democracy, but didn’t started for that. Also the lack of major protests isn’t exactly as correlated to the censorship as you imply, It is much more correlated to the social and economical improvements of the last 20 years. The Chinese had a much more positive attitude to the future compared to the west. Good video, but focus to much on the understanding of the world by an American perspective, not a Chinese one

Ask Iraq,Libya, Latin America they know live is getting better bc American influence😅😅
Just to add, the Tiananmen massacre was a myth. No denying that there were casualties in the 1989 uprising. The number of casualties varies dramatically depending on the source. A state report published in the Government Gazette of the State Council about a month after the riots, cites at least 200 "non-soldier casualties," while other reports show higher numbers. For example, a New York Times field correspondent estimated 400 to 800 deaths shortly after the clashes. Some sources, such as a secret diplomatic cable released in 2017, have cited 10,000 killings in the events surrounding the Tiananmen uprising, but reporters present in China at the time generally doubt this figure. There are no reliable estimates about how many people were killed in those events, not only in Beijing, but also in other cities, and not only protesters but also onlookers. But the fact that the army killed scores of unarmed people is beyond question. Lastly, the term ''Tiananmen Square Massacre'' is often used by US officials like the US Foreign Ministers over the years.

Bill Clinton misjudged the situation by believing that China would start respecting WTO rules once it joined. He allowed China to become a member despite its non-market economy status and continued disregard for WTO trade rules. In my view, the Great Firewall is more an example of market protectionism and a non-WTO market economy than censorship.
The reality was that America was eager to access China's vast pool of cheap labor, underestimating the long-term consequences. Fast forward 20 years, and the situation has evolved. Initially, the struggle was to compete with an endless supply of cheap, educated labor in mega supply chain cities, where workers lacked rights and faced no manufacturing disruptions. Now, the challenge is to compete with the Chinese market and its enormous new middle class.

Its not like the Americans respect the WTO rules either, they massively subsidize farm exports, to make them more competitive..

I'm Chinese and I think the Great Firewall has certain benefits:
1. Google's exit from China was not due to any so-called democracy, but because its Chinese search function was inferior to Baidu (a Chinese Internet company).
2. The Great Firewall gives China the opportunity to cultivate its own Internet companies and become the country with the most developed Internet industry in the world after the United States.
3. The Chinese government does not care about ordinary people using VPNs to bypass the Great Firewall, and it is not considered a crime. In fact, there are many free and paid VPN software available for download on the Chinese Internet. Those who can't even download a VPN software are truly of low cognitive ability and are more likely to be deceived by various low-intelligence anti-China videos on the English Internet. For those who can bypass the Great Firewall, they at least have some ability to judge the authenticity of information.

@@Harkax_ It also censors even pre party events, that it sees as negative. Try asking it about dzungar genocide for example.
@@dogon9005 hahahahaha you are right , I am Chinese.Nothing bad about the Chinese government can be found
Currently watching from Hainan on Astrill. Thank you VPN for existing!
Take a look behind you, the CCP Police is coming.
I assumed the content on this channel to be high quality journalism like Vox, Johnny Harris, or even Channel 5. But boy, this is like the laziest content (despite the fancy animations) that doesn't inform you anything new at all, and it's been like this for the past few videos. I wish the content actually goes more in-depth, not just surface level info that honestly doesn't need a 10min video. But, I might just not be the target audience if I'm not learning anything new I guess.
It's hard decipher exactly what you are complaining about. You better go off to Vox then since you complaint is so vague.
I agree the videos need to dive deeper
Jello? On a wall? Nailed? This is the kind of chaotic brilliance I live for!
Great content!!! Can see the hardwork embedded
Bill Clinton: Goodluck
China: Aight bet
轻轻松松，随便找个VPN就行
You shouldn't have to do this in the first place.
China is garbage
@@Reveal_City 不，现在很多中国年轻人都有VPN，这没什么，这在中国甚至不是什么不能谈起的话题了，当然，我们需要注意自己的言行
Great 👍 I'm fascinated by China's success can you tell me about on ground reality is it same as I imagine ?@@藤溨
@@Reveal_City maybe your country is the reason, ever thought bout that?
Remember when this channel was supposed to be about sports?
Have you been to china and on chinese social media? Do you speak and read mandarin? Please dont make a video about a topic which you dont know anything about. People dont want democracy in China - and there is so plenty of criticism of chinese gov on chinese social media - how u think the covid protests happened? Also you can call 12345 to report issues to local gov and usually they take care of the problem pretty quick.
The only thing you cannot do is plot a protest to overthrow the gov. If you are true journalist go to china talk to the people on the street inside of posting these poorly made propaganda videos.
Mate they literally protested for democracy???
India 🇮🇳: Talk talk talk💬, being so full of themselves. Bragging all day.
China🇨🇳: Do Do Do💪, being humble about it.
As a Chinese person, I can share my perspective on this issue. On one hand, the U.S. has used various methods to promote what it calls a "democratization process" in China. However, their true intention isn't to genuinely help China become democratic, but rather to manipulate the public and push for the overthrow of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). For decades, they have used this strategy to encourage regime change in ways that benefit their own interests. On the other hand, the CCP does conduct large-scale censorship, especially targeting discussions about Xi Jinping. For example, on social media, any comments about Xi or the CCP are not allowed. The government imposes strict control over news, such as when Xi visited a market in Shenyang last week, and a suicide bombing occurred there three days later. You won’t find any related information on Chinese websites, and comments will be deleted. The CCP is extremely sensitive now. As the video mentioned, they fear people gathering-whether it's for Halloween cosplay in parks, or large groups riding bikes on the street. Even if there are police maintaining order, simply gathering to sing is unacceptable to the CCP. They fear crowds, opinions, and any foreign influence, so they choose to ban all of it. In summary, the CCP is afraid that the public might be misled by false information or foreign forces, so they’ve built the Great Firewall. They also fear any challenge to their authority, which is why they carry out extensive censorship to remove any dissenting voices. Finally, I want to mention that successful Chinese products like TikTok, DeepSeek, and games like *Black Myth: Wukong* and *Genshin Impact* have no direct connection to the CCP. The government usually only takes notice of these products after they’ve succeeded. I hope this doesn’t make you dislike these products or games.
Chinese are too nice to the American and the west I should say (I'm not saying you guys should be rude to them but be careful of what they are trying to do to you China!). You guys need to know more about the true intention of the west, you will be surprised and you should really be worried of the west. Like you said, USA trying to spread democracy in China is not for the good of the Chinese people but rather for the interest of American empire and how they can easily manipulated and destabilized your country using the excuses of democracy and overthrow your government. They have overthrown many democratic government and installed dictatorship or authoritarian or puppets government in countries like Iran, Ukraine and many countries in Latin America. It's never about democracy vs Communism. It's all about maintaining US hegemony over the world.
Remember the 'China hundred years of humiliation' in the hands of western powers. This should give you a clue that if China let the west manipulate the Chinese internal affairs and politics, China will suffer another 200 years of humiliation. Brutal history lesson should be taken seriously as the west is trying to play out the same playbook to destabilized China. The west, US in particular, can't seem to wait for China to collapsed and it's people to suffer like in the past. Be careful.!
哈哈哈，前面我还认真的在看，后面就开始搞笑了，我都不知道你是真黑还是串子。
Is it me or the title is so inaccurate that it is borderline a clickbait?
I live in China and to watch this video I need VPN😂
Are you a Zim or a SAn?
1:20 - 1:35 this part was such a great introduction ima sub 😂
I have been censored by search party for voicing for being very one sided and still is. I am waiting for Deepseek video for them now. I want to know the truth from both spectrum for us to make a decision rather than forced to one side. Quality matters.
It's the Johnny Harris strategy, only accept criticism from those that are actively aligned with the US
Nice touch on wrapping up with the jello on the wall!
If we being honest in the USA they filter what we see and have access to as well
Their government can rule their country however they like.
89学潮没能像东欧一样和平演变中国，真的让一些西方人耿耿于怀。嚼烂了的老梗反复提起，真的就没活了。其实中国大陆人翻墙的不在少数，这并不违法。可以说中国人对西方世界的了解要远远高于西方人对中国的了解。而且，让缺乏独立思考能力的未成年人接触大量不良信息绝对是一种戕害。不同的文明有自己不同的路，希望到达路的终点时，大家都不会后悔。
惊了，别洗了，党国拿未成年人说事也就罢了，自己还信了
其实不止是未成年，成年人也一样很多看到啥就信啥的低能，只能说是民智未开@@ShowingZhang
@@没有标识名 这种论调从洋务运动以来已经太多年了，到哪年哪月算开？当年识字率只有5%以下，大家都很绝望，说民智未开情有可原，现在可是识字率99%以上，义务教育普及了啊。事实上不放手让婴儿自己走路跌跟头是很难习得「民智」的，有研究说基层民主实践是培养民主理念的最佳方法，对新闻的判断力也一样，需要有大量成熟的新闻机构和公民社会对冲，大家自会更快习得对新闻的判断力
@@ShowingZhang 你怎么保证进来的是成熟新闻机构？我就不说其他，单单就本频道做的视频而言错漏百出，这种频道你在油管随便一抓都一大把，即使是bbc cnn也在中国某些方面的报道有失偏颇，毫无营养的垃圾信息永远比真信息多，你是忘了新疆的恐怖袭击吗？一旦放开社会秩序混乱的代价最终还不是我等在中国生活的普通人来承受？你能有这样的观点我只能判断你大概率不在中国工作生活，但是像我这样还要过日子的大部分都是希望社会稳定
I knew he was going to nail the jello
5:04 this coded language is really clever
Like the content so far but this one felt like it was unfinished. So much more to explore on this topic
A video about China building military islands in the South China sea, would also be very interesting. Don't know if there is much new news about this subject tho. love the video's btw
We may just have that coming up soon
@@SearchParty waiting for it
They're building islands in the South China Sea. End of story. What do you expect from a search party video? He turns a couple-worded title into a 8 min nothingburger. Easily searchable on your own. This video was a waste of time, basically just tells you China has censorship, everybody knows this unless you're in 7th grade
@@SearchParty why not offer a response to any of the other comments pointing out the glaring issues with this video? ...If you're going to criticize China for censoring their internet, you should at least mention that the U.S. has a strategy of using the internet to topple regimes U.S. leadership wants to overthrow. And if you don't acknowledge the censorship by google/meta in the U.S., all the anti-China stuff is hard to take seriously.
so why tik tok is banned by free Usa
Tesla is the only foreign company that still thrives in China.
And BYD is starting to make short work of them.
For Now
And only because they agreed to transfer some technology and train workers lol
There are over 75000 foreign-funded enterprises in Shanghai alone, but you only have Tesla in your eyes!
I’m an ex-IBMer used to visiting Shanghai hub every month up to just over 10 years ago…. Actually” China’s great firewall” was designed and sold to CCP by IBM and CISCO as joint project to the order from CCP because of China had no technology to do so by themselves about over 20years ago. And we IBM started to call it “China’s Great Firewall” internally when we saw that CCP started to use it cutting off their own people from rest of the world on internet. IBM and CISCO closed almost all offices and fired many Chinse employees in the last year China… Such a change of CCP China after Xi became their chairman, it seems like they are going back to behind of the bamboo curtain again like pre 1970’s.
不，你讲的不对，中国的防火墙不是习近平上台后才出现的，是在facebook拒绝中国政府让他们停止对疆独恐怖分子提供联系平台的要求后建立的。
The video couldve dived deeper. Seems very rushed and lacks clarity or story telling.
The arrogance of our American brothers. 'Goodluck'

The US: Internet!
China: No, it’s an INTRAnet.
Weird to be watching this in Mainland China using VPN, and experiencing everything that's talked about in thia video.
Thanks for this info
Through the subject matter and all, your videos are done + edited so well. Really enjoy just watching them
Fantastic interesting content and your style is gripping. Nicely done.
Love the video and your channel! Sports and geopolitics are right up my alley and I love the style of your videos! Keep up the good work 👍
Joke's on Clinton 😂
Im sorry, but isnt it the same us and europe are doing, with all the censorship they have on the internet ? Against all bad about then 😂
Good content. Hoping to see more like this but, in a more lengthier timeframe and more defined.
Ya I was hoping for a bit more meat and potatoes. I kinda thought this was more or less common knowledge and would be jumping off point to real updates on something new they’re doing.
Instead of nailing the jello they changed the jello content, first at home and now all over the world. Not for the better.
The point isn't to censor everybody, the point is to control what everybody sees. It doesn't matter what one guy says on his personal facebook page, what matters is what goes viral
The Tiananmen guy was not ran over, like the US media tries to imply. The full video shows the guy walking away very much not ran over.
Jello was indeed nailed on the wall
"Thousands of Chinese citizens arrested for posting criticisms online"
I hear China isn't alone in doing that
cough....UK
