The opinions expressed in this video are those of individual interviewees alone and do not reflect the views of ASIAN BOSS or the general Chinese population. We tried our best to get balanced perspectives but it wasn't easy. In fact, doing these street interviews in China is super difficult for us because we NEVER ask for permissions from the government and aren’t registered as journalists. So we hope you guys at least get something out of it. Also check out our street interview on how Taiwanese people feel about China if you haven't already: ruclips.net/video/C0YGLDafG1o/видео.html
Thank you for always trying to get the truth. It can be really hard when people know there are consequences to their opinions and they can't truly express them sadly.
Thanks for the effort…some of the answers were not fake but well rehearsed by the government agent. Most people on street interviews don’t talk for so long due to busy lives.
Glad to see that are you asking regular people about their opinions. There will always be people who won't believe what you are reporting (or say that the people can't say what they want). They can make their own judgement but from what I can see, the people in China are as opinionated as anywhere else in the world. I really enjoyed the opinions of the guy with the dyed hair. LOL
Exactly! Which is why I don't really like any country politically because everyone in the end does everything for their own interests and money and they will almost always hurt someone/people/country on the way. I'm egyptian and live in America but don't like either country's government.
Stephen, Kei and the Asian Boss team - never stop what you are doing. Your subscriber count does not represent the true impact you are having bringing multiple issues and voices to light. Never, ever stop.
WOW !! I really wanted to hear that , The people remind me of the people in the movie , " The Matrix " They have all taken the RED pill. BUT Starting with the virus going wild in China, and the flooding, the crashing economy, and the CCP constant lying to them,etc; I think a lot of Chinese are taking the RED pill now !!
PS I believe the only way the people will revolt is when the standard of living becomes unbearable, I don't see the CCP saving its self this time, Its doomed, we just have to wait it out,
@@TOMAS-lh4er you mean your western government constantly lying to you? Assange, Snowden, Iraq war, Daniel hale and so on. Now they wanna lie about China.
@@TOMAS-lh4er the peoples of China wants to revolt for what ?! - to be sleeping homeless in the streets, be mugged/raped/shot when alone on the streets at night, to see their infrastructures neglected/decaying, freedom to lie/slander others, to go on wanton destruction/murders of weaker countries, etc ? Look, the peoples of China are way more smarter/morals intact & don't buy your separatist/religious extremist propaganda nonsenses. Or you have wet dreams of China permanently stuck in the Opium Wars era - they must slave away their labor/intelligence submissively/obediently and you just reap/enjoy the fruits of their harvest just shaking your legs & solely by virtue of your skin color? It's because of people like you & your self-serving ideology that leaves China with no choice but to enable & ensure their defences militarily/technologically are way more advance then your most offensive weaponry. There will be no tomorrow for you first before there is any further "Opium Wars".
I share his frustration there at the beginning. I am 4th generation Chinese in born Thailand, currently studying in Australia and I can't help but empathise with Chinese people. Always all the lies and they claim people in China are brain washed, I don't even live in China and they say I'm brain washed lol. Btw love your vids, keep them coming! We need more cultural understanding instead of assumptions.
I've been a fan of this channel ever since I discovered it a few years ago. I appreciate the effort it takes to interview regular citizens on the streets, ask them hard-hitting questions about sometimes controversial topics, and then sub and edit the videos. Thank you for always trying to produce honest, unbiased videos that reveal how similar we all are as humans, regardless of where we live or how we look. I can imagine how frustrating it is to put so much heart into producing these videos only to have viewers saying it's staged or the interviewees are brainwashed or afraid to tell the truth. Not only do people tend to see what they want to see, they are also always going to have their own stereotypical opinions on certain communities, topics, nationalities, etc - and there's no way to make them all see the truth, or want to seek out the truth, unless they themselves choose to open their hearts and minds. Some people would rather sit in their echo chamber and never try to understand those who view things differently from them. But hey at least you're trying, and those who appreciate it will appreciate it.
could you tell me where do you come from? Because I know there are some foreigners like you who can read Chinese comments on Chinese websites, so I tried not to say anything bad on internet to criticize American people.. I don't want to spread hatred anymore
@@zhua2964 just like there is people in America who deny anything bad that america has done or is doing there is Chinese people who deny the negatives of their country. In America it's not as one sided but more divisive cause our 2 parties have very different views and beliefs. America has it's News problems, capitalist agenda, lying on both political parties. And china has it's news problems, all the news is controlled by the govt party which is only 1 cpc. That one woman clearly was being bery careful with her words and laughing from nervousness
Never stop doing in what you believe in. No matter how many people tell you that what you do is pointless/worthless. You could say that the water is wet, or that earth is round and you'd still have people telling you that you are wrong. So just do keep trying to bring people closer together because we need it more than ever. Thank you for all your hard work.
Truth only exists within the range of the missile, and dignity only lies on the blade. This is the truth. When China is three times stronger than the US, We can also use the reasons of American genocide against blacks, Indians, aliens, Iraqis and Afghans to beat the US into Afghanistan
This is the first time I see Stephen so passionate in an intro! I hit like because of that, before I even watch the video. Stephen has a point! People, DON'T TAKE MAINSTREAM MEDIA AS YOUR ONLY INFORMATION SOURCE!
@@dompdompdomp these arent journalist videos so much so as street interviews. theres a difference. News broadcasting and interviews are two completely different things, and i didnt know about the approval thing from CCP. Care to share where you got that from>

Hey Stephen, From your opening monologue, you seem frustrated by the responses the internet has for your work. Wanted to express my appreciation for the hard and valuable work you and your team do - I appreciate the opportunity to get to hear from people in different countries, and to get perspectives and experiences from the dynamic and emerging asian countries. Keep up the great work!

_"Our mission is to bring people's voices together"_ Yes agree, this is the essential point of journalism. Bring out the report, not judge. AB Boss has done so many impressive works for us to keep curious and enrich our knowledge from various perspective. Whether you like it or not, all people have the rights to raise their own voices. After you listened to those all, then it's your job to filter or select which one with your very rational thinking.
Western journalism pont of journalism is to create shock sensation to get the most views though (Capitalistic approach). They'll create the most sensationalist news to poke you to get reaction. That's why America is becoming more divisive.
I will partially agreed about the western journalism. But Chinese Government journalism and media is propaganda & censorship for the Chinese government.
I recomend you to watch ADVChina to get unfiltered real news about china. Asian boss got ccp backing becouse it is elegal to do street interviews without it in china...
@@Erik3E ADVChina? Pfftt... Hahahah... Most of people here are well-updated and already got tired of western elite politics and media hostile bhavior toward China. It doesn't mean I stopped watching westrn media at all. Their documentaries are great. But when it comes the topic about China, I would rather see more objective news like CNA Singapore.
As an American I fully support you and your team. I want to hear citizens voices. I want the citizens of ALL countries to know Americans are not all bad, don’t agree with American politics, and that as normal citizens we are all in the same position. We have to listen to each other and give support even if we disagree. We all have such different experiences and no one’s experience invalidates anyone else’s.
Sadly what America says ppl listen and If we chinese tried to be rational wumao and ccp spy us gonna come out their mouth and tiamen square is all they can say 🏈
@@αιη-τ5φ its not all American people... its the media!? Please, research those who own the main media outlets. Both the investors and owners. It's these few creatures that have an agenda, certainly not me here in cold and grey Manchester, nor any of the other billions of innocent people around the globe. My only agenda is to have friends all over the world and to learn from them.. not the crap delivered on TV!! 🌍❤
I think videos like these are vital. To be able to hear directly from everyday people offers perspectives that lend us deeper context and greater understanding. I appreciate that Asian Boss moves beyond concocted and inaccurate mainstream media tropes about China and Chinese citizens that lead to anti-Asian Racism here in the US and beyond. I am proud to support Asian Boss.
@@jeja6801 because filming people on the street is illegal in China, you need a licence from the CCP and they have to approve all content before it's posted, saying anything against the CCP is illegal and with a channel this big I'm positive the CCP has taken full control over it.
@@mrgummygod hi. I am Chinese in German.. I am agree with most of opinions from them.. Maybe u will say 'brainwashed' ..by the way I travelled in the whole Xingjiang 5 times and 2 times from Sicuan to Tibet with my friends from German, UK, Australia France Italy with RV,, only the military restrict area we couldn't make photos and remain their, we talked to local people and to Muslims restaurants..we never heard and saw concentration camp and genocide in their.. Only after happened 'The July 2009 Ürümqi riots'.. Later several years we saw more policees on the streets incase happens again.. U know before when I lived in Beijing, I was afraid of Uyghur from Xingjiang,, most of them sell Xinjiang Nut Cake along the street with Tricycle, they have special treatment don't need pay any tax to government, this cake needs a big and long knife cut this cake.. Even I heard before people said stay along with them if u don't want by and ask the price otherwise they will hurt u and look they always have big knife,,these nut cakes are expensive, but i really so curious how is the testing,, so once I took my courage ask can I buy little pieces for first testing ,, ok,, he used the huge knife cut thin piece,, but oh my god too big, I spent one week to finish it, I was student, for me nut cake expensive, u can search the photos of Xingjiang Nut CAke..From first contact with Xinjiang I was little nervous. After travelling their several times I like there so much. Aslo my friends when we talked about our experience there,, u always remember the nice people, delicious roasted lamps and Xingjiang bread. Also Tibet, we invited by local people to their home and drink yak milk and talk to them, not organizied by someone. the only one thing we don't like from Tibet,, is the local people who managed the scenic point. About the history and politics of them,, we are both not witnesses, about Chinese government sure they make some mistakes faults, problems,hope their new generations people can bring more 'fresh air'. In China most people don't care about democracy o one communist party, they more believe which is more useful, I f one day they realize Ccp doesn't work anymore,, even u guys don't say nothing,, they will overthrown it, just as old KMT. Many years o even now some of Chinese still like infighting, but if other countries touch their limited line and they will unity together to against the enemies. I don't want to say u are wrong, I am right, just different angles.
I wish there are interviews with ethnic uyghur Chinese. My uyghur friends are all quite patriotic, if not sometimes even more patriotic than the average Chinese.
Sure, patriotism alone does not invalidate the reports on human rights abuses. Many Hewish Dermans were and still are highly patriotic. Many brits are patrioric but hate British royal family, the conservatives, or british socialism. Patriotism can not be viewed in a vaccuum.
@@morejoy5188 But how do you know human rights abuses are happening when you haven't even met the Uighurs who live in Xinjiang?Without a single piece of hard evidence to confirm one thing, I would go so far as to say that Biden is lizard man.
The interviews on your channel are authentic. If westerners have friends in Asia they would know that. You have my support. Appreciate you and your team’s dedication!
China is as propagandized as Americans and this video shows it. Yes, there is definitely a human rights issue regarding the Uyghurs. And yes, the United States should be the last country preaching about human rights. However, that doesn't mean the issues don't exist.
@Pearl Tan hahaha, as if the CCP do not watch youtube. Authentic my ass, no one of the people interview would even dare to think to say something that goes against the party narrative.

@@AUMINER1 sometimes I wonder if there are actual real thinking people behind comments like these, or is this just an aggressive AI bot that spent too much time on 4chan
There is no media in the world that can report the news objectively and impartially, no one! Therefore, it is wise to listen to the voices of the media from different positions as much as possible, and if possible, visit by yourself. But because of language problems, Chinese voices are rarely heard. Thank you Asian Boss
Unfortunately, however, you will only ever get to hear from the "elite class" 0.1% who have connections in the PRC when it comes to issues like this. MOST of China is not so rich they are spending 30K RMB on a pair of jeans, or 4.7k USD as shown for example... in fact, the poverty is so bad that in order to APPEAR they had kept their plan of completely eliminating it, they reduced the poverty line to $400 annual income. Total. Also... if you have a trusted friend who can translate this for you? The subtitles might as well be from a completely different video. But... maybe that was the point? Apply them to this, because who can tell? Who is able to understand/translate but will speak out? Who are we but a nobody the crowd will instantly silence and call a dissenter/traitor/etc? Well, as the one interviewee said... shabu do...
@@阴暗埃文足够阴暗 So why would we believe any of them? Edit: To be fair, Asian Boss did sort of mention this in their post: "...do not reflect the views of ASIAN BOSS or the general Chinese population" Exactly. Not the general Chinese population. Which is why I wish they wouldn't present it as such in the video, as that was the implied veracity of the claims.
I watch most Asian Boss videos and this was the most thought-provoking so far. Really appreciate the candid nature of this video. I hope more people can watch it and find some common ground.
The spirit and essence of journalism is here. Asian Boss, you never disappoint on your interviews and perspectives of others. Thanks for all your hard word.
It’s still rare to find sources where the Chinese people’s perspectives are represented without them being changed to fit some agenda. This one showed lots of varying perspectives so I feel it’s a good source. And it’s not really pushing an agenda here.
@@ethant2582 At which point in this video did you experience that? They might have talked freely, but everything they said proofed that they don't get free access to informations regarding controversies. If all you get fed is political agenda, how could your opinion not reflect exactly that.
I appreciate how people (that are being interviewed) are saying 'I don't know enough about this topic' rather than giving inaccurate judgement, it's what a lot of people(including myself) lack nowadays.
@@wxm422 The western media have talked to Uyghurs who have lived in Xinjiang and still have family living there. I say that voice means something more than some American who has never set foot in China. You also need to understand that the reason why no one in the west knows anything about what is happening in Xinjiang is because China isn't letting anyone in to see it. From what I have seen and heard what we have here is the classic 'he said she said' situation. The west said they know of the locations of these so called concentration camps in China so why not let independent people come and see for themselves to get the facts.

@@wxm422 in my opinion, people need to cautiously discern in the news, and from that, come up with their own opinion of the event after they've reasoned it out themselves, so that they do not base their opinions entirely on the media.
The real reason for not letting the UN get involved is that we think this is China's internal affair and the UN has no right to intervene. In addition, the United States launched the war on the grounds that Iraq was developing weapons of mass destruction, but there was no such thing. Did the United Nations say that it would investigate the United States? Do they have a warrant out for any Government officials?
@@donnieraczynski572 I don't hate the UN, I just want to point out that the UN is just a tool for the big powers to rule the world, and when this tool doesn't work, the big powers will use other means to achieve their goals, like the US did in Iraq, like Russia did in Ukraine
Also because we don’t want 莫须有 (framed accusation). The US or the west have demonizing China for so many years. They are not doing the investigation for the people of XinJiang, they are just looking for an excuse to make up some “evidence” to bash China again. Nothing new. Same old trick. You are not welcome to our country!
I immediately followed your channel because your interviews were really good. I'm sick of the hateful content corporate media constantly churns out and calls it "news".
I was wondering about sth to do with "hateful" news: one interviewee said that foreign media always reports negatively about China and that he therefore thinks it's biased propaganda. I was wondering this: isn't negative reporting what all non-government media outlets do? -> The commercial news are super sensationalist and always dig up all to cruellest or most spectacular crimes or people or weather events etc. to talk about. -> The public broadcasters' news always criticise institutions and people in power, no matter where they are from. When have I last heard anything good reported about Germany by German media? That's right! It practically never happens! I also never hear anything positive reported about the US, about Great Britain, etc. It's always: "corona is bad", "police struggle to contain antivaxx protests", "increase in violence against police", "inflation is bad", "there is a threat of war", "inaction of German goverment in face of climate crisis might doom us all", "failure of government in taking stance in Ukraine conflict", "economy complaining about sth.", ... The list goes on. It seems like nothing is ever going well. So, to summarize: I wondered if this person in the interview simply noticed a general difference between Chinese state propaganda and public broadcasters.
@@IceQueenaliasIQ Look up two NYTimes articles on the same day: "China May Be Beating the Coronavirus, at a Painful Cost" and literally 20 minutes later "As Coronavirus Spreads South in Italy, Top Official in Rome Tests Positive". One attacks China, the other praises Italy for prioritizing human lives. There's a stark contrast and one example out of many. Maybe you're too biased yourself to see reality.
@@jondoh9414 maybe also too. Every mainstream media is the same, with interests. Shame that everything that comes from china is from the CPP, wish they have private medias.
@@jondoh9414 There is a pay-wall! T_T But thanks for the information anyways. I don't think I'm too biased. If what you say about the articles is true (and it sounds plausible), I don't agree with this type of reporting. I think it's more probable that my media consumption behavior is such that I don't come across such reports often. I mainly watch news reports by various broadcasting services. And my experience is like I described above. Maybe I should start reading the newspaper though... To check out the situation there myself.
@@IceQueenaliasIQ I'll give you a few more examples just to highlight how ridiculous the propaganda against China is. Forbes article: "Part 1 Beijing Is Intentionally Underreporting China's Covid Death rate" (according to the article "Its official statistics understate the Chinese Covid death rate by 17,000% according to The Economist's model") The New York Times: "China's Zero-Covid Policy Is a Pandemic Waiting to Happen" Tweet from Washington Times journalist Bill Gertz: "Two years ago today a US MQ-9 Reaper drone strike killed Iran's Suleimani. To deter war with China, the US should declare the same fate awaits senior Chinese Communist Party leaders if the PRC and its military arm, the PLA, launch a war on the US." Foreign Policy article: "Time for America to Play Offense in China’s Backyard" NYTimes: "The Army of Millions Who Enforce China’s Zero-Covid Policy, at All Costs" "As the troubled lockdown in Xi’an has shown, many Chinese people remain willing to work diligently toward the government’s goal of eliminating the virus, no matter the consequences." (It gets better, the article compares China's Zero-Covid policy to the holocaust, yes really.) "China’s early success in containing the pandemic through iron-fist, authoritarian policies emboldened its officials, seemingly giving them license to act with conviction and righteousness. Many officials now believe that they must do everything within their power to ensure zero Covid infections since it is the will of their top leader, Xi Jinping. For the officials, virus control comes first. The people’s lives, well-being and dignity come much later." “The banality of evil” is a concept Chinese intellectuals often invoke in moments like Xi’an. It was coined by the philosopher Hannah Arendt, who wrote that Adolf Eichmann, one of the chief architects of the Holocaust, was an ordinary man who was motivated by “an extraordinary diligence in looking out for his personal advancement.” There's tons more. I remember one that really made me laugh was some western reporter calling CPC member showing a minority kid how to brush their teeth as 'cultural genocide'.
Oh Lord, Stephen's intro is MAD GOOD P.S. I'm Russian and I love watching this channel's videos because you guys work in many different countries, you take interesting interviews that resonate with current issues and you give the viewer the right to listen and think.

Kinda want to know how many interviewees were subsequently pulled aside by police and questioned in a room at the local community center for speaking to foreign publishers (then offered hush money, made to sign an NDA, etc to prevent revelation of such), because that's a power Chinese authorities can use at will.
@@yanzionly This is not typical of Chinese. This is a typical person influenced by hip-hop culture. He said that his Xinjiang friend is also a very popular rapper on the Internet tiktoker
@@dorawang5451 Yep. America sanctions them. Even some American companies, like Apple are refusing to hire Uyghurs because America will sanction them. America doesn't want to help the Uyghurs, they want to incite more civil unrest in Xinjiang. Why? Xinjiang has very valuable oil deposits and is a key connection in China's BRI. America is trying to pull another "MUH IRAQ HAS WMDS!!!!! LOOK AT THIS 14 YEAR OLD GIRL WE PAID OFF TO SAY THAT THEY HAVE THEM!!!!" and a fair amount of their population just believes it. Unfortunately for them, China is much more powerful and cannot be bombed to ashes like the Middle East without consequence.
They are based in Shanghai and all their interviews are done there. But there are many vloggers based in Xinjiang and have done extensive street interviews and showcases of daily life there.
I’d always appreciate your Videos because I know how authentic and informative they are and I know every video I see are true to the bone and the interviewers always ask good and logical questions so I’ve believe in everything they have to say and the particular person they are interviewing as well. If there is one thing about this company that most new outlets do, is that they go to the meats of the bone to give us exclusive behind the scenes on what really goes on in most parts of Asia and always takes feedback very seriously. So I’m glad at everything they do and I hope they will continue this for years to come

@@billyminer398 Well the Chinese will whine about the government on all kinds of problems, but when it comes to Taiwan, Xinjiang, etc. people holds the same opinion.
The whole point of these videos is to give Western audiences the Asian perspective and educating the younger generation on Asian culture and politics, and they have been doing just that. So thank you, Asian Boss for making these videos, it really is incredibly eye-opening.
I saw a thread from US or Australia, titled why it was so easy for people to wear masks in previous pandemics. Even medieval doctors could wear raven masks. But when covid came, no one wanted to wear their masks. The answer is Because the Chinese were the first to wear masks.
@@徐翔-q9s ?????? Its because in the WEST most of all the deadly viruses are dead in east-asia something like bubonic plague or the Black Death is widley spread among the rural areas like in Mongolia where 4 Farmers died because they ate rats that where infected with the virus so was it with SARS or CBN. That only emerged in the east-asian sector. Thats a fact!
4:57 „China is ducking awesome“. I somehow like his guts to say that, nothing wrong with it. But having the freedom to express that without getting all that criticism and sometimes hate from Westerners, I really envy him. I myself cannot say that, which is kinda sad, maybe I should just state my opinion and not care about what other think about it.
As a Chinese American who pretty much lived in the West for my entire life, I feel you. People from every country can be proud of who they are, wear the flag of their country as a representation of their ancestry, except Chinese. We can't even be proud of our ancestry without constantly getting some sort of racist comments or comments about being a communist. We are kind of forced into being ashamed of being Chinese.
@@cakeyummy6608 If I ever lived in Taiwan for even a year or 2, that wouldn't sound like a bad idea. Maybe a flag of the Qing Dynasty works too, but no one will have a clue what the hell that is.
I loved the intro, people need to realize that our everyday news can be extremely biased, just like all major news outlets in the world. We need to understand that there’s different perspectives and views out there, and that we should listen to them and not be stuck in our own little bubble. Hearing more people’s opinions can broaden our own opinions and mindset, people shouldn’t be so reluctant to hear another persons view that might be different.

@@iseetruth4917 Well, brainwashing comes from both sides. Chinese state media cannot be fully trusted as much as any state media. Thankfully, Asian Boss is one of the few unbiased media because they're independent and funded by viewers, afaik.
Until the Chinese people can speak freely without the threat of death you are only hearing biased opinions unless you have been to China and experienced Communism yourself. Remember Hong Kong?
As a fully Canadian citizen who was born in China, I feel like I have the qualifications to say that this video accurately represents the opinion of the Chinese people of today. 20 years ago the Chinese people did not have negative views of America. We tried to learn whatever we could from them and take whatever we could to develop our own country. At that time, the West thought of the Chinese as third world citizens and turned their nose up at our poverty, but we were too busy trying to get out of that poverty to care. 10 years ago, China came onto the stage as a major economy. At the time the Chinese people were very proud of what they had created. The West saw China as an opportunity and this was the time when our teachers would tell us that it's time to learn Chinese, because it is going to be the economy of the future. Chinese people started to see the West as a place where they could spend their newly acquired wealth on. Now, the West hates China. I can't mention the slightest positive thing about China without fearing that I will be attacked. I feel unsafe in Canada, the "peaceful" country, because I don't know when my neighbors will turn on me for being Chinese. Meanwhile, Chinese citizens in China are starting to develop radical nationalistic ideas since they're tired of being slandered by the West. I don't know what the future will bring, but I am very frustrated and angry that the West has caused the Chinese people to become toxic. I am not optimistic that relations will get better. I may have to leave this country (and all Western countries in general). I just hope that people will realize how bad war is before it comes to their doorstep.
I am not seeing the relationship with the west getting better anytime soon… just look at how the media in the west portrays China nowadays… everything is negative.
Chinese nationalism isn't just caused by western antipathy, the Chinese communist party had legitimized their power with communist one party ideology of the people, but when china became richer it abandoned communism in favor of free market capitalism thus losing its means to legitimacy, instead it now employs nationalism for legitimacy, the CCP projects itself as powerful and willing to stand up against the west which has led to both provocative aggressive behavior and as you mentioned increased nationalism and radical ideas among ordinary people.

My roommate went cycling in Xinjiang last summer for half a month. Guess what? He’d like to revisit those beautiful landscapes and work as a volunteer teacher there. Unfortunately, too many college students were competing for those volunteer teaching positions in Hami of Xinjiang that finally he got notified that he didn’t made it.🤪
This is such a valuable video to be shown to the people in Western countries. Here in the Netherlands the mass media is getting increasingly biased and people can't help but being influenced by it. Wish I could do something like this to show the Dutch people here also...
I understand what you're saying, but we have to keep in mind that the general Chinese population are brainwashed and taught that their "conversion camps" are for good.
@@feather9115 this is BS!!! why you are not talking about so many of children at US border detention camp??? they are condition is much worse than xinjiang!! there had been so many terrorist attacks in XinJiang, that is why terrorists need to be reeducated and these "camps" are more like boarding school, students condition are much better than American border detention camps!
@@mingli5040 I'm not american. I completely agree that the detention camps there are disgusting. That doesn't change the fact that China is keeping thousands of muslims in camps and basically torturing them and forcing them to convert.
@@mingli5040 There is no point arguing with a population who are brainwashed, that is the scary part, you will never see it how the rest of the world does.
@@feather9115 Hi Feather, the scariest part is that you thought you have all the access to transparent information, but actually, you don't. And you are the one being brainwashed by the western media like most of the westerners who have never been to China. I'm a Chinese living in Europe, what I have observed these years, is that the western media are extremely biased and negative about China. Social media like RUclips, Instagram are restricting videos or posts which are in favor of China, blocking the accounts for those who speak up for China. Some Chinese are brainwashed that's true, but most young Chinese people are using foreign social media, reading news on abroad channels, have access to all the information. Whereas all you got are worthless, faked, biased, and incomplete information pieces that serve the Western Propaganda.
I have to say, it’s been a frustrating couple of years to be a Chinese American. Hearing perspectives from both sides about general topics, there are assumptions/claims made from both parties that are wrong or reaching. There are things that China does better than the US. And there are things that the US does better than China. And I always wish both countries could learn from each other and become better together. I feel like it’s a perspective more and more people don’t have - like more people nowadays have a us against them perspective. And it’s sad. There are fellow Americans who will react negatively to me if I say anything positive about China. And there are Chinese people who will say I’m too influenced by western media. But I don’t make criticisms because I don’t like a country - it’s because I love it and I want it to improve for the better. I always loved technologies for its ability to bring more information and perspectives around the world. But now I feel like people just surround themselves with likeminded thoughts and don’t want to see what else is out there.
I agree with you 100%. During this time of the pandemic and war, everyone should be coming together. I still never understood why the heck didn't all the governments gather to solve Covid, rather than just keeping to themselves while everyone was suffering. We all went through this and still are going through this together, so therefore why not work with each other? I love China and her culture. I always have, but that doesn't excuse the bad things that's happened in thanks to them. If you criticize something you love, it only means you know it can do better. You're not choosing which is best and which sucks. Everyone has their own issues and shouldn't be too proud to admit them. There's nothing wrong with admitting you're a human being that makes mistakes. How on earth can everyone have this "us" and "them" mentality, when all of us suffer from the same pains? I'd rather stand with you in wanting folks to stand tall next to one another, rather than choosing to divide for no other reason than "you're not like me".
Thought? Censored thoughts? The fact that he and his team cannot get permission and would likely face considerable consequences if captured, this doesn't sound alarm bells? The fact that the majority of these Chinese citizens can't even watch this on youtube: the subsequent perspectives dont become tainted or biased at all? The sanctions for their actions against Hong Kong and their ACTIVE genocide is just easily downplayed away?
I wonder where the Chinese journalists, who tried to speak out about the seriousness of covid in the earliest weeks, went to? They seemed to disappear for some reason....
What a sweet peaceful comment. Almost makes you forget that one country is running concentration camps and the other isn't. One country's biggest critics are in that country and living freely. The other country's biggest critics are dead, in exile or inprisoned.
From one Chinese American to another, I agree with you 110%. Unfortunately, of the other comments here only seem to reinstate your (our) thoughts, they completely gloss over the point you are trying to make to emphasize the only thing on their minds - “concentration camp” and whatnot. Forget about the ridiculously efficient infrastructure projects, forget about our (the US’s) own internal struggles with healthcare… despite this video, they focus on what makes them feel superior about their own antagonism. Of course, on the flip side, it’s the same when trying to talk about things the US does well with Chinese friends, such as copyright law or civil activism. There’s a whole lot of “whataboutism” and not enough “_constructive_ criticism”. Sidenote: Of course, I’m not sitting here denying that there’s important problems in Xinjiang. But if China’s growth in the past 20 years is any indication, Xi may be a lot of things, but he isn’t stupid… at the very least, not stupid enough to follow on Hitler’s footsteps. There are SO many easier ways to erase the cultural identity of a small minority than physically wiping them off the map, and focusing on the Xi=Hitler narrative is no more useful than trying to put your kid to sleep with boogeyman stories.
That was the best introduction to any video I have ever seen on RUclips ever! Enjoyed the interviews with the Chinese people in Shanghai! Overall, this is something that we Americans have to learn about more to then make an informed opinion on the subject. Some of the Chinese people had knowledge of the subject, some showed off their patriotism (which is good bc he sees that things are going well in China), some were annoyed bc USA are poking nose in China's affairs, and other expressions on the topic. These interviews offered a view from the inside with everyday Chinese living their lives, which is much better than biases and assumptions from the US. Don't get me wrong, I don't agree with certain Chinese government policies, but an open line of communication between the two countries is better than the alternative.
Besides the fact that the human rights allegations made by the West remain unsubstantiated, the US regime or the western countries has no right to interfere into the internal affairs of another independent and sovereign country. Would the IS regime and those western slanderers of China; of human rights or whatever; happily accept other countries' interference into the long list of human rights abuses of them as well. The hypocrisy of the US regime and many of its acolytes should never be tolerated, much less accepted by any independent and sovereign country. The US regime, by consistently resorting to state terrorism against other countries, has not qualification or moral standing to lecture and to pontificate to other countries when you consider what they themselves has committed in the past and also presently, in regards to human rights, freedom or even democracy. Weaponising those values to try to hold on to its hegemony, dominance and primacy can no longer work in the current time and age. As an aside, what has the US to say about itself as the enabler of the gross abuses of the human rights and freedom of the Palestinian and Saudi Arabian peoples?
@@stephenlock7236 Many countries have human rights abuses at some point, whether it be China, US, Canada, UK, Australia, Russia etc. All superpowers interfere with other nations, whether it be political or technical (China & US are the worst botnet countries in the world). Most countries spy on each other. US comments on China. China comments on US (you can check out government channel CGTN tweets for evidence of that). US falling behind was inevitable, over the years politicians have failed to agree any infrastructure plan or increase manufacturing both of which China are good at. This is why China is called "factory of the world" because this is what they are good at. China may be able to export its goods but not its politics. Every country must still adhere to the UN Declaration of Human Rights, I understand both US and China have signed onto it. Besides the politics regular every day people can still get on, no matter where they are in the world, scientists do that, always communicating through political barriers to solve important world problems, medical or otherwise.
@@stevendrowe Unfortunately, communication with medical scientists in China has been a bit of a problem really as of late.😓 It’s nice to speak all high and mighty about it when you take political control out of the equation. China hasn’t allowed any real evidence and freedom of information since this whole bloody Covid mess started.
@@danielwhyatt3278WHO has arrived in China to investigate the origin of Covid-19. When can they go to the United States to investigate white lung disease?
that intro! exactly, few people question mainstream media's agenda. But an independent news outlet that is trying to give voice to less heard opinions and diversify the conversation is the problem? I love what you guys do, it's not a matter of just accepting everything as true from whatever media you consume. That¡'s not how it works. What you should do is receive new information and make up your own judgement after hearing different people involved in the issue.
The real problem is nobody in China can question mainstream media or any media for that matter. I'd much rather try and figure out the "truth" on my own when different media outlets have different narratives than to be told what to think by state run media
@@jerrkyd the problem is that NYTimes, CNN, BBC, TIME, even Fox News, etc. are not truly “different” media outlets because they all roll up to the same set of owners. If you want a truly multi-faceted perspective you have to also consume Russian, Chinese, and Iranian state media.

@@jerrkyd Well, CBC up here in Canada is a state run media. I would venture that privately owned media has even more biases since it's designed to make money. You ARE the product, so any way that they can manipulate you is ok by them. I lived in South Korea during dictatorship when media was severely censored by the gov't, so supplementing mainstream media with various independent media is probably a better way to go than just consuming one type whether it's CNN, state run Chinese media or Fox.
By the tone of the intro I think you probably expected the comments to accuse you of being one-sided and whatnot, but as a Chinese I can say this is genuinely quite representative of people's views. I hope you would continue doing interviews in China in the future because the content is valuable and contributes to the agenda you have outlined

I really can't believe that people can watch these interviews and say it's all bogus and fake. You can tell, if you actually PAY ATTENTION, that the people interviewed are expressing what they feel, what their own opinions are, and aren't just saying stuff for the camera. Asian Boss has some of the most interesting, thought-provoking interviews and subjects I've ever seen. I do watch it to try to get a feel for what regular people in Asian countries think and feel. Anyone who says otherwise has the kind of closed mind that wouldn't listen to ANY opinion that doesn't mirror their own. Keep going, Asian Boss staff! You do great work! Hello from Ohio, USA
So you will trust a few clowns who perform in front of the camera instead of those ordinary people living in Xinjiang? Do you believe the accusations of several people who are hostile to China, and do you really believe the true expression of the billions of Chinese people? There is no separation wall at the border of Xinjiang. It is a place where people can go in and out freely. You don't trust thousands of Chinese who live there, but you trust a few guys who play politics. I regret your independent judgment.
Yeah it's obvious that they are expressing what they feel. Whether it is 100% accurate, I do not know, but it's clear that they really mean what they say.
Now, this is what people call real journalism. Reflecting the facts as they happen (ie taking and reporting untampered feedback from the interviewees) without adding any pre-existing stance (ie anti-China or pro-US)!. Bravo! Good Job!
@@taleliew1 Of course they can. There are thousands of Weibo accounts that criticize the government without consequence. Freedom of speech in China is the same as in the US: In both countries, you can say whatever you want as long as you aren't important enough to be viewed as a threat. Just look at Julian Assange.
@@CES_2005 Can anyone criticise XJP in China like how Americans criticise Trump or Biden in the US? How about criticising the CCP for being very corrupted or ask the CCP apologies for 8964? Just look at what happened in HK! Good that you mentioned Julian Assange should be released as well as Jimmy Lai!
@@taleliew1 What happened in HK is what happened on Capitol Hill, only instead of a protestor being shot and killed (USA), the HK government let the rioters loot and leave on their own.
Buddy - I don't know who is complaining about your work but - forget about them. You have something awesome here. I watch your videos exactly because they cut out the mainstream media middleman. I want to hear directly from people just like me in other places. You should have a branch in every country. Love your passion and please keep up the great work - it is appreciated.
I don't know about others but I'm the one who is complaining because they make biased videos especially supporting Uighurs genocide and all but they want to show the drama of Kashmir, India.
@@ashaypallav4158 I dont see how they are supporting uighur genocide*. The questions were not biased but rather open and informative. Youre one of those people who want to push the agenda on other issues eg uighurs in china in order to hide the issues in your own country
I share your frustrations in your intro. I tell my Australian colleagues and and friends about what Chinese are really like and their thoughts. Most Australians think Chinese are either brainwashed or too afraid to criticize the government. My experiences from visiting China are consistent with all the people being interviewed. Keep up the great work Asian Bosses, I really enjoy watching your contents.
Keep spreading the word. I also had the same experiences too visiting China. A lot of Americans are really gullible and will believe anything in their news as representative of the truth. It's the same type of rhetoric that once led Nelson Mandela to be a hated man in the US & UK and labelled a terrorist, supposed weapons of mass destruction (where they butchered innocent families and children by sending airstrikes based on a pack of lies), and justification of slavery on the rhetoric that African Americans were inferior. Look at all the largely one-sided rubbish they put out on Eileen Gu making her hated by so many.
@@GalacticNovaOverlord watching LIVE STREAMS of Hong Kong protestors being shot in the head with rubber bullets by mainland Chinese police....hard to spin that into western media propaganda. Watching liberal and conservative factions who DESPISE each other, come to consensus to proceed with sanctions against China for their actions towards Hong Kong and the Uyghurs, hard to spin that into JUST propaganda. Multiple news foreign sources with satellite images and photographs within the concentrations, hard to spin that. Multiple people from different walks of life who don't all know each other all have the same negative experience with you. China: no it's not me, is them.
The US isn't boycotting the Beijing Olympics. A month after the annoucement, the US govt turned around and applied for 18 visas for their delegates to attend. They later applied for another 40 and Beijing graciously granted the US delegates admission. The MSM just refused to disclose this information.
I don't understand being angry at people answering from their own perspective and bias. At least most of these interviewees had the final thought that we need to come together again somehow and I don't think you'd get that same answer if you asked Americans on the street how we should move forward...
It’s because it doesn’t confirm their beliefs. The people who are angry are the same who think that they’re the good guys and that their opinion is the only one that matters. Seeing so many common people just like them with different beliefs is difficult for some to accept
It's not their own perspective or bias. It's the CCP's perspective and bias. You can live in the U.S. and have any opinion you want and post it anywhere on the Internet. You hate the current/prior U.S. president? Don't agree with policies/mandates? Etc. Only thing you can be punished for is hate crimes. Watch this. Yo, Xi JingPeePee looks like Winnie the Pooh. Also 1989 Tianamen Square massacre "never occured". Now switch countries. A quick Google search shows that Chinese citizens are getting severely punished for simply critically thinking about anything the CCP has done. Think about that. If we were in China right now, (assuming RUclips is legal in China), my comment can land me in prison. Also, you scare me. The "Chinese" people claim they want unity, when they don't even know what's happening outside of their country. That Belt and Road initiative seems to be falling apart really fast. The Democrats in the U.S., especially Sleepy Joe, claim they want to unify the country and the whole world. The fact that both parties goals are almost mirror images of each other... Well, history will repeat itself. Except, it won't be as simple as The Battle of Athens of 1946. It's going to be on an insurmountably larger scale. I expect 20% of the world's population to be reduced before we all wake up.
@@magno172 I guess in every country, there're thing people can't talk. See what happens to Trump, J.K.Rowling, etw.. I've lives in 3 countries include us. I can't see any difference. Of course there're ways to criticize politics in China, in a proper way. The american way of dirty language and curse of the president does not help a little bit! I've know people in US have the right to vote, still no money to go to the vote station to vote, really pathetic. Every countries way is chosen by it's people. It's difference, we have to accept that. Otherwise we'll become a wise and stupid like you.
It's very clear that Stephen is rlly furious and frustrated on some comments. These guys want to change the perception of Asia to western world yet some people cry by saying Asian boss interviews are "Biased". Keep it up team, your courage to speak against toxic MSM is really appreciated.
Westerners think that everyone should have the same opinion as them, otherwise you are brainwashed or biased. This is "white man's burden" all over again.
To be fair, the reporter presented the baseless accusations of human rights violations and the misrepresentative lie that China prevented people from going to Xinjiang as fact. First of all, there is no proof of any human rights violations in Xinjiang. Secondly, China repeatedly invited the UN to come to Xinjiang, it's the US that told people not to go.
Stop asian hate. On news I found majority of crimes targeting asians are committed by black american. Asians, black americans are both minority ethnicites in US, we should unite against discrimination instead of killing each other
There is no way to actually guarantee that it really is their true perspective since they don't have freedom of speech and this video had to be pre-approved by the CCP before it could even be filmed and posted.
@@fusong1111 the Chinese gestapo is smarter than that, they’ll literally keep tabs on where you’re staying in China, inspect the place if their suspicious, they don’t need any warrants to search tings I’m pretty sure. They have police or public volunteers in the streets that will for sure intervene in public interviews if need be, just look at some of the Olympic reporters. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a ‘public service volunteer or sum shxt right behind the camera when they’re filming the interviews ready to pounce on the camera if something is filmed they don’t like lol.
@@Sonof_DRN2004 Kinda like the US CIA don't you think? Can you guys let Julian Assange tell the world the atrocity commited by the US already? Free speech and all that?

First of all, there is no proof of any human rights violations in Xinjiang. Secondly, China repeatedly invited the UN to come to Xinjiang, it's the US that told people not to go.
I visited Xinjiang multiple times and many of my family members are living there. The US never provided any real evidence about their claims about Xinjiang. You may argue that the Chinese government "covered" the whole thing, but in 2022 and everyone has access to the Internet, it's impossible to cover something like a genocide. Nowadays things like a video clip showing a man beating his wife would stir up anger from millions of Chinese on social media and the man was arrested. From 2000 to 2020 the Uyghur population increased from 8 million to 12 million. What does genocide mean? The sad fact is, when a lie was repeated a thousand of times, people tend to believe it. But it's not that hard to use your common sense. In 2003 Colin Powell lied to the UN by showing a tube of detergent as the evidence that Iraq had "weapons of mass destruction". What do you think the US would do if they have real evidence about Xinjiang? The scenery and food and people in Xinjiang are amazing. Plan a trip if you have the chance and I promise you it will be great :)
What about the survivors and their families from those camps? What about all the evidence. It is beyond political motivations on part of the U.S. There are actual people suffering. Please open your eyes and research the hard evidence out there. I am happy this is gaining attention, it means this horrific act (one that has at this point surpassed the holocaust numbers!) can be brought to people's attention. Please do not simply say suffering doesn't exist simply because you or your family were not victim to it. It silences the voice of the victims. There is documented evidence of forced sterilization being done on Uhyhur females, as well as forced marriages to Chinese nationals to Muslim Uyghurs. There is so much video evidence out to wipe out your denial in one shot. It is truly horrific. Something doesn't cease to exist if we simply bury the blanket over our heads and tell ourselves it can't be possible. The first thing we can do is educate ourselves about it before speaking. The next is to spread awareness and not assure people with platitudes when we can't speak for what is happening. There is evidence and footage of children being kidnapped, actual torture committed on male and female Uyghurs. People are imprisoned for simple things as practicing their faith in the open. I hope you take a look at all the evidence out there and not try to sweep other people's suffering under the rug. An evil will only be stopped when many people are paying attention to it. It is posts like yours which sink the Ugyhurs pain into nothingness.
Colin Powell? The only reason you know that is because the US government investigated and western media exposed it! You say he lied but ignore the fact that we found out he was lying and exposed him. In the west the truth comes out because we have free information and journalism. The Chinese government lies all the time and their people don't have any way to know because they're brainwashed and have no freedom of information. If you had common sense you'd realise that your government would never tell you about anything they've ever done wrong, like Tianmen Square or the Panama papers!
@@lucky5714 ol….. As a native of Xinjiang, I tell you that the only threat to the lives of people in Xinjiang is the terrorists of East Turkic. And my classmate's family is all Islam.

I am sure you are an internet troll, but there are people who actually believe your words. This is something very serious. Your audacity is astounding. Go look at the videos and proofs of actual instructors in those concentration camps who witnessed the forcing of alcohol, pork, sterilization, torture, and forced marriage of women. Um terrorism, yes that what they said as they arrested and detained people for praying, wearing hijab or any other outward signs of faith. Your words are so ignorant that I have no wish to indulge you anymore.

What did u think you'd accomplish by claiming that something so horrid doesn't exist and then making up lies to support it. Truly despicable.
The one thing I've learned about talking to people all over the world is that we all have our biases, including myself. Some of them is from personal belief, but much of it ALSO has to do with political manipulation and propaganda. Usually it's best to start with things that people can agree on like basic dignity, personal honour and respect for others. Most people hate bullies and backtalk or underhanded methods. We all have to give our own respective governments a degree of trust because it's where we live... but it's good to have a healthy distrust of political motivations for any political party. It's also become increasingly difficult, especially for democratic countries, because one of the pillars of a democracy is a free and truthful press, something that has been heavily maligned in the last 10-15 years. Yes, some news outlets tend to be mouth-pieces for competing political agendas... but I think most people would agree that injustice and corruption is bad and should never be tolerated. I learned a lot from talking with American and Arab friends, especially that they are more similar than they would expect or would probably like. You notice that when the question of "why would you mistrust Western media... the standard authoritarian arguments to not trust ANY media comes up, but isn't applicable to their own state run media (and that the most respected investigative journalism outlets get mentioned, like the BBC.) It's very curious!
I'm from Xinjiang for three generations. Genocide and forced labor are nonsense. Those Uighurs who go to the west just perform for a green card. This is a good play in the West again and again,BBC is funded by the British government. It is not the so-called independent media at all. CNN is the same. The west is rotten

There were even leaks from mass arrests from chinese people in xinjiang and then they got arrested for leaking it. Please inform urself, a bit atleast. I'm from germany and we don't have any media which is controlled by our state. They critize our politic and politic of other states. Independent media exist.

Thank you for doing this one. I can see alot of hate brewing cause it is a surprise to alot of the western audience as to really how the Chinese really think about this matter. I 100% support your work and hope you make many more like this one!
We honestly think it’s a stupid lie created by the western media. The cultural genocide accusation is even stupider like how it’s even possible lmao. In big cities all across China we go to Uyghur restaurants commonly and we celebrate Xinjiang culture with our Uighur friends. So that’s why we literally take western media’s coverage like jokes. The real cultural genocide happened in America where they forced the indigenous population to speak English and give up their customs and religions.
@@wendiqiu3225 lol I'm chinese myself but brought up in the west. However since young I have been to China and HK every 2 years to visit family.

But in saying that everyone around completely believes the propaganda cause their first hand knowledge about China is their own western media sources. There is no way for them to check if it is true or not. This must have been how the muslim felt after 9/11 and they had it worst since they had zero voice unlike us.

Actually it’s this is useless, they should’ve conducted these interviews in Xinjiang not in Shanghai. The fact that they didn’t do it in Xinjiang answers the question
@@Easy.Stocks.arabic.english The thing is, if they interview people in Xinjiang and get very positive responses, the RUclips algorithm will suppress this video because it goes against the western propaganda.

I would HIGHLY recommend Asian Boss to interview the Uyghur people on the street of Xinjiang while protecting their identity. I appreciated being able to hear what the public think in Shanghai. But that simply doesn’t tell me anything about what is really happening in Xinjiang. Go to Xinjiang and talk to the local, like what you did in the episode about HK and Taiwan.
I agree but this is still risky and scary. Asian Boss will have to not only cover their faces but also change their voices. After all, they have been monitored for a long time so it won't be difficult to identify them
Always been a fan of your guys' work for years so thank you for all you have done. Now that I live in Asia I always appreciate your teams work even more and the range of topics and countries you reach and give people a platform and voice to stand on is inpsiring, keep up the good work!
Damn i appreciate ur work Asian Boss Team! Btw the background brings me tears i have not been back to Shanghai for 2 years, and the place u guys are filming at brings me So much nostalgia
even though i'm from the united states and this issue is being talked about a lot here, i didn't really know much about it. of course i care about human rights issues and i'm sure many of the people watching this do too, but this was an interesting opportunity. whether i agree or not with the points made by the interviewees, i learned so much about WHY and HOW they arrived at their conclusions. this is why your channel is so important. regardless of agreeing with each other, every citizen of the world who cares about making it a better place should watch videos like this. not everyone lives the same life, people arrive at different conclusions that can result from their upbringing, their education, their life circumstances (not excusing hate by any means btw). thank you for such an informative and honest insight to the thoughts of real chinese people. your work is appreciated.
@@taleliew1 random people on the street can only say as much as they know. objective “truth” is not the goal, but understanding how people came to form their opinions is. they could be terribly wrong (or right, i don’t know) but why are they wrong? why do they believe what they believe? what factors are involved? if we aren’t at least curious about these things then what meaning does anything in the world have? nothing will ever be accomplished if we don’t understand why we think what we think. we don’t have to be empathetic but we have to be reasonable.
It's frustrating in any country to hear anyone say young people aren't interested in politics. It's THEIR future that they need to live in after old politicians are long dead.
The people in power today were the 'young people' back then, nothing changed, their parents also made comments about them like millennials get painted with.
I think more and more young people are getting interested in politics nowadays. It's just that they don't open it up much especially to older people like their parents or relatives because most of the time they'll just get the typical response "You're too young for this kind of topic."
Did China refuse a visit from the UN? When I google that I actually get that they will allow a visit after the Olympics, but nothing about them rejecting a visit.
@@seferdi4439 Brainwashed people or bots, I suppose... If you check under comments you will mostly find chinese accounts commenting aggressively on this topic, and the funniest thing is that their government banned youtube...
@A What you say is true, however, there are nuances. China did invite them for a guided tour, but they (EU and UN) refused because they have their own idea about what the tour should look be. So you can say that China did reject a proposal for visit but at the same time also invited them for a visit. In my personal opinion, China is right on rejecting others that just want to have unfettered access to a country. The US and EU won't allow it then why would any truly sovereign country allow it. To put it simply, would you allow a strange to have unrestricted access to your home after accusing you of misdeed that you vehemently denied? Very unlikely.
Thank you Asian Boss for standing your ground. F* those who only watch content they agree with and listen to false narratives. Love the strong intro. Keep going strong in 2022 !!!
chain'ya is a threat to the safety and security of the human population, the gov is 100x worse than 1984, they lock people up and organ harvest anyone who speaks out. all the pro chain'ya comments here are from WUMAO military gov ccp trolls who lick the butt of winnie the poo
I'm a big fan of this channel and I think this is important work, but when I look at the comments I have the feeling a lot of people still see the world in black and white, only that they have exchanged the sides. If you - for example - criticize the "mainstream media" in the west, which is definitely a valid thing to do (although a bit undifferentiated), the logical conclusion is not: China and the Chinese media is right! In fact, there is no logical conclusion because the world is not that easy to comprehend.
I lived in Xinjiang for 10 years in my childhood, when Xinjiang topic suddenly burst in western countries, i saw how those medias described it. I was like: Did i live in a fake city?????😂
Wonderful content. Powerful. Stephen and the rest, you have my absolute respect. But the translation still can be better. 6:54 She said "如果我们纯粹地从……哪怕不从学术上，从新闻的真实性的角度来看，仍然是存疑的。" Which I believe would translate into "If we take it purely from... It is questionable, even if not technically, from the point of view of the authenticity of the news." 8:35 Minor problem: she said "打砸抢烧" which means beating, smashing, looting and burning," not exactly mentioning "shooting." (Sorry for the Simplified Chinese if you'd take offence.) Also I just want to say... before Stephen brought this up (with swear words) I barely knew some people would say those about AB's content, and how hard it must have been for the team. I guess this really is a divided world. We do need reminders like these. Keep it up!
Thank you Asian Boss for the great content! It's always interesting to hear and see voices from others that we normally would not have the opportunity to have a conversation with. I will admit, the gentleman in the green jacket raised a good point, there are some places here in the states that you would think twice about walking late at night, sad but it's true. Violence and crime have increased :(.
@@almightysauerkraut6165 Hardly. I’m in the UK and we view a whole load of the US as being unruly. I think when can put education and over-policing and lack of local help for prevention as being the biggest causes of this.
As a Chinese, and I have worked in Xinjiang for some time in the past, I want to tell my friends from different places In Xinjiang or Tibet, what is most needed is schools, hospitals, roads, airports and modern cities, the Internet, and power grids, rather than so-called religious or spiritual advancement Herders and monks in temples are very poor and short-lived More of them would prefer to be doctors, engineers, scientists and teachers than poor shepherds all their lives, as opposed to religion Americans want Xinjiang to be poor forever, so that more conflicts and wars can be created
We don’t need any of your so called modernization road or unwanted facilities which it’s not even basic human need … as human beings we need freedom and basic human rights we don’t need your sympathy or empathy we were happy and free people so, stop abusing our culture and religion and most importantly don’t dare to take our identities.
I'm not sure how the US plays any part in Xinjiang being poor or wanting them to be poor. That's ridiculous. Their government should be allocating funds to fix those issues, yet they aren't. They're apparently thriving so much, why aren't they solving these issues in the dilapidated and impoverished parts of the country? The same can be said of the US, but that's also on OUR government to fix. Not any other's. If the US wanted to cause conflicts and wars due to another countries poverty, they wouldn't be sending aid to the DPRK, another country with which we have conflicts, when they've requested it.
And as a Tibetan, I've to tell you that your red govt ILLEGALLY OCCUPIED an independent Tibet. You know what they've done? They murdered millions of Tibetans. Your govt has been destroying our identity, language, culture, environment, religion, fundamental rights, and basic freedoms since 1949! I know telling these are not helpful since u will refuse to believe the TRUTH. Or r u just some CCP paid commenter huh?
@@morganmariex The Chinese government is doing their hardest to lift the poor and the uneducated in the far flung regions out of poverty by teaching them skills to achieve economic freedom. The question is how to do it without seemingly like a overbearing regime. The western propaganda machine is grossly exaggerating some of the growing pains, while deliberately censoring all positive news from being seen be the western population. Our US government is in deep fear of China because our society is crumbling while the poiliticians are too busy getting rich from the corrupt power structure they seem to hold on forever. They are trying to make China look like hell so we the people can not demand better.
@@pemadolker985 Road, schools, communication infrastructure aren't needed? Freedom and Human Rights are important, but they don't exist in the vacuum of a backward poor society. Lifting the population out of poverty should absolutely be considered as providing the economic freedom that people needs. Take US for example, where crime and incarceration is sky high for the economically impoverished minorities. People walk in fear of their safety and have no future other than a minimum wage job, drugs, and structural racism.
I feel like not involving an actual Chinese uyghur in the interview is like not asking a black, Hispanic, or Asian person about political matters that concern them and asking a White person.
China has 56 ethnic groups totaling 1.4 billion people, 55 ethnic groups account for 8% of the population. Uighurs number about 10 million, mostly in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. The odds of you picking a Random Uighur off the street are pretty low.
@@yt23333 as a Hmong/miao american, i choose to believe western media instead of Chinese media. why, well maybe cause the reason why i dotn live in china is because my ancester was face with genocide by past chinese government in their attemp to assimilate all teh minority group and fade out their blood and culture. i rather be carefula nd have families in china to move asset offshore just in case thign turn sour, they can get out.
A lot of the interviewee are quite level headed and logical, they're not afraid to say that they didn't know some things and speak only from what they knew, of course there's some outliers but overall this is a quite good interview. I wondered if you ever interviewed chinese citizens about the conflict of interest in South China Sea, I think it would be an interesting watch.
Learn media literacy: Who is telling me this? Why are they telling me this? Why are they telling me this right now? Who are the sources? Do the sources have a conflict of interest? What does other media say? for example, Saudi Arabia, US ally, country that pushes Salafaism to achieve their geo-political goals does not condemn China, you would think if anyone would, they would. What about other Muslim countries? Are there other Muslims in other parts of China? Are Uyghurs participating in the Syrian civil war? Why was ETIM taken off the US terrorist list in 2014? Etc. Everything is connected. You might not get the truth but the bigger picture would not hurt
I stopped watching and relying on American news, because I am really sick and tired of their loaded vocabulary and rhetoric. They only care about stirring up my emotions just to get me invested into their stories.
Theyre dividing the country rather than bringing it together. Its a really toxic outlook and it will only allow china to surpass the US in all aspects. If the country worked together and started to understand each other, the US would develop at a much faster pace than it is now
US mainstream media and social media are untrustworthy, they just generate billions in profits. Try researching your news and try to study the history.
No, you need to talk to Chy-knees who have escaped the satanic CCP and are not scared to tell the truth for fear of their own safety and that of their family komrade.

Just FYI: 1. VPN is not the only tool. Even my 60-year old father knows where to purchase a special TV cable so that he can watch hundreds of TV channels around the world... 2. Yea it’s law but it’s not strictly enforced... so what’s the point of focusing on the legal form but not the real substance... or what’s the point of making comments on things not happened yet - e.g. the government will enforce it strictly one day... 3. the info of Chinese people may be restricted in some degree... but how do you know the info revealed by western media is 100% true... I have seen people recommending some channels to let us Chinese know more about ourselves. Most of the videos are dubbed and blurred, which just don’t look reliable... Please just don’t act like you know everything better than us............It’s a 1.4 billion population, there must be someone smarter than you.......and most of them get chances to go aboard but you don’t.......
Exactly! It's just utter nonsense. Contrary to what's reported in Western media, VPN is perfectly legal in China - I was on RUclips throughout my time visiting friends in China. When you point this out, they always respond with something along the lines of.... Why do Chinese have to use VPN in the first place? To which I respond well just why not? All China is doing is prioritising their own social media content over Western-centric ones like RUclips that contain mostly Western-centric views that the Chinese can access anyway anytime if they prefer to YT, like I did, but the reality is that Chinese people don’t want to use YT, they would rather choose their own equivalent of YT and Chinese apps where many, I should also point out, are banned in the US. It's just ridiculous and some Westerners are so self-centred that they can't see that they are imposing onto the Chinese which apps, content they should or should not consume and what values they should align with. It's the same self-righteous, sanctimonious ‘I know better’ saviour mindset that has led to colonialism, war crimes and atrocities (including the deaths of millions of innocent Iranian families and children) in which the US and UK own the most.

The opinions expressed in this video are those of individual interviewees alone and do not reflect the views of ASIAN BOSS or the general Chinese population. We tried our best to get balanced perspectives but it wasn't easy. In fact, doing these street interviews in China is super difficult for us because we NEVER ask for permissions from the government and aren’t registered as journalists. So we hope you guys at least get something out of it. Also check out our street interview on how Taiwanese people feel about China if you haven't already: ruclips.net/video/C0YGLDafG1o/видео.html
Thank you for always trying to get the truth. It can be really hard when people know there are consequences to their opinions and they can't truly express them sadly.
Thanks for the effort…some of the answers were not fake but well rehearsed by the government agent. Most people on street interviews don’t talk for so long due to busy lives.
Glad to see that are you asking regular people about their opinions. There will always be people who won't believe what you are reporting (or say that the people can't say what they want). They can make their own judgement but from what I can see, the people in China are as opinionated as anywhere else in the world. I really enjoyed the opinions of the guy with the dyed hair. LOL
Don't worry there are thousands of white ppl who also post videos of unregistered videos about China some has been edited though
Tbh it's sad for this interview some won't believe white ppl gonna be making dumber excuses
There is no friendship between countries, only interests.

WOW !! I really wanted to hear that , The people remind me of the people in the movie , " The Matrix " They have all taken the RED pill. BUT Starting with the virus going wild in China, and the flooding, the crashing economy, and the CCP constant lying to them,etc; I think a lot of Chinese are taking the RED pill now !!
PS I believe the only way the people will revolt is when the standard of living becomes unbearable, I don't see the CCP saving its self this time, Its doomed, we just have to wait it out,
@@TOMAS-lh4er you mean your western government constantly lying to you? Assange, Snowden, Iraq war, Daniel hale and so on. Now they wanna lie about China.
@@TOMAS-lh4er the peoples of China wants to revolt for what ?! - to be sleeping homeless in the streets, be mugged/raped/shot when alone on the streets at night, to see their infrastructures neglected/decaying, freedom to lie/slander others, to go on wanton destruction/murders of weaker countries, etc ?
Look, the peoples of China are way more smarter/morals intact & don't buy your separatist/religious extremist propaganda nonsenses. Or you have wet dreams of China permanently stuck in the Opium Wars era - they must slave away their labor/intelligence submissively/obediently and you just reap/enjoy the fruits of their harvest just shaking your legs & solely by virtue of your skin color?
It's because of people like you & your self-serving ideology that leaves China with no choice but to enable & ensure their defences militarily/technologically are way more advance then your most offensive weaponry.
There will be no tomorrow for you first before there is any further "Opium Wars".
I share his frustration there at the beginning. I am 4th generation Chinese in born Thailand, currently studying in Australia and I can't help but empathise with Chinese people. Always all the lies and they claim people in China are brain washed, I don't even live in China and they say I'm brain washed lol.
Btw love your vids, keep them coming! We need more cultural understanding instead of assumptions.
I've been a fan of this channel ever since I discovered it a few years ago. I appreciate the effort it takes to interview regular citizens on the streets, ask them hard-hitting questions about sometimes controversial topics, and then sub and edit the videos. Thank you for always trying to produce honest, unbiased videos that reveal how similar we all are as humans, regardless of where we live or how we look. I can imagine how frustrating it is to put so much heart into producing these videos only to have viewers saying it's staged or the interviewees are brainwashed or afraid to tell the truth. Not only do people tend to see what they want to see, they are also always going to have their own stereotypical opinions on certain communities, topics, nationalities, etc - and there's no way to make them all see the truth, or want to seek out the truth, unless they themselves choose to open their hearts and minds. Some people would rather sit in their echo chamber and never try to understand those who view things differently from them. But hey at least you're trying, and those who appreciate it will appreciate it.
As somebody who lived in China for a couple of years, these people do represent the opinions of the Chinese pretty well.

Only after happened 'The July 2009 Ürümqi riots'.. Later several years we saw more policees on the streets incase happens again.. U know before when I lived in Beijing, I was afraid of Uyghur from Xingjiang,, most of them sell Xinjiang Nut Cake along the street with Tricycle, they have special treatment don't need pay any tax to government, this cake needs a big and long knife cut this cake.. Even I heard before people said stay along with them if u don't want by and ask the price otherwise they will hurt u and look they always have big knife,,these nut cakes are expensive, but i really so curious how is the testing,, so once I took my courage ask can I buy little pieces for first testing ,, ok,, he used the huge knife cut thin piece,, but oh my god too big, I spent one week to finish it, I was student, for me nut cake expensive, u can search the photos of Xingjiang Nut CAke..From first contact with Xinjiang I was little nervous. After travelling their several times I like there so much. Aslo my friends when we talked about our experience there,, u always remember the nice people, delicious roasted lamps and Xingjiang bread. Also Tibet, we invited by local people to their home and drink yak milk and talk to them, not organizied by someone. the only one thing we don't like from Tibet,, is the local people who managed the scenic point. About the history and politics of them,, we are both not witnesses, about Chinese government sure they make some mistakes faults, problems,hope their new generations people can bring more 'fresh air'. In China most people don't care about democracy o one communist party, they more believe which is more useful, I f one day they realize Ccp doesn't work anymore,, even u guys don't say nothing,, they will overthrown it, just as old KMT. Many years o even now some of Chinese still like infighting, but if other countries touch their limited line and they will unity together to against the enemies.

Edit: To be fair, Asian Boss did sort of mention this in their post: "...do not reflect the views of ASIAN BOSS or the general Chinese population"
Exactly. Not the general Chinese population. Which is why I wish they wouldn't present it as such in the video, as that was the implied veracity of the claims.
I watch most Asian Boss videos and this was the most thought-provoking so far. Really appreciate the candid nature of this video. I hope more people can watch it and find some common ground.
The spirit and essence of journalism is here. Asian Boss, you never disappoint on your interviews and perspectives of others. Thanks for all your hard word.
Journalism uses objective sources. Neither 'big media' nor Asian Boss really do this much, the founder's rant aside.
It’s still rare to find sources where the Chinese people’s perspectives are represented without them being changed to fit some agenda. This one showed lots of varying perspectives so I feel it’s a good source. And it’s not really pushing an agenda here.

I appreciate how people (that are being interviewed) are saying 'I don't know enough about this topic' rather than giving inaccurate judgement, it's what a lot of people(including myself) lack nowadays.
so how about Western media, they know almost nothing about China Xinjiang, that does not prevent them from popping up endless fake news about Xinjiang
@@wxm422 The western media have talked to Uyghurs who have lived in Xinjiang and still have family living there. I say that voice means something more than some American who has never set foot in China. You also need to understand that the reason why no one in the west knows anything about what is happening in Xinjiang is because China isn't letting anyone in to see it. From what I have seen and heard what we have here is the classic 'he said she said' situation. The west said they know of the locations of these so called concentration camps in China so why not let independent people come and see for themselves to get the facts.

The real reason for not letting the UN get involved is that we think this is China's internal affair and the UN has no right to intervene. In addition, the United States launched the war on the grounds that Iraq was developing weapons of mass destruction, but there was no such thing. Did the United Nations say that it would investigate the United States? Do they have a warrant out for any Government officials?
un is useless
un lets russian oligarchy invade ukraine and they do nothing about it
un lets us invade Iraq and again they do nothing

@@donnieraczynski572 I don't hate the UN, I just want to point out that the UN is just a tool for the big powers to rule the world, and when this tool doesn't work, the big powers will use other means to achieve their goals, like the US did in Iraq, like Russia did in Ukraine
they did, and when they had such idea they got sanctioned by US immediately. (not UN as a whole, but some individual)
Also because we don’t want 莫须有 (framed accusation). The US or the west have demonizing China for so many years. They are not doing the investigation for the people of XinJiang, they are just looking for an excuse to make up some “evidence” to bash China again. Nothing new. Same old trick.

@@booaks2980 有啥好怕的
@@booaks2980 Those pathetic brainwashed trolls
I immediately followed your channel because your interviews were really good. I'm sick of the hateful content corporate media constantly churns out and calls it "news".
I was wondering about sth to do with "hateful" news: one interviewee said that foreign media always reports negatively about China and that he therefore thinks it's biased propaganda.
I was wondering this: isn't negative reporting what all non-government media outlets do?
-> The commercial news are super sensationalist and always dig up all to cruellest or most spectacular crimes or people or weather events etc. to talk about.
-> The public broadcasters' news always criticise institutions and people in power, no matter where they are from.
When have I last heard anything good reported about Germany by German media? That's right! It practically never happens! I also never hear anything positive reported about the US, about Great Britain, etc. It's always: "corona is bad", "police struggle to contain antivaxx protests", "increase in violence against police", "inflation is bad", "there is a threat of war", "inaction of German goverment in face of climate crisis might doom us all", "failure of government in taking stance in Ukraine conflict", "economy complaining about sth.", ... The list goes on. It seems like nothing is ever going well.
So, to summarize: I wondered if this person in the interview simply noticed a general difference between Chinese state propaganda and public broadcasters.
@@IceQueenaliasIQ Look up two NYTimes articles on the same day: "China May Be Beating the Coronavirus, at a Painful Cost" and literally 20 minutes later "As Coronavirus Spreads South in Italy, Top Official in Rome Tests Positive".
One attacks China, the other praises Italy for prioritizing human lives. There's a stark contrast and one example out of many. Maybe you're too biased yourself to see reality.
@@jondoh9414 maybe also too. Every mainstream media is the same, with interests. Shame that everything that comes from china is from the CPP, wish they have private medias.
@@jondoh9414 There is a pay-wall! T_T
But thanks for the information anyways.
I don't think I'm too biased. If what you say about the articles is true (and it sounds plausible), I don't agree with this type of reporting.
I think it's more probable that my media consumption behavior is such that I don't come across such reports often. I mainly watch news reports by various broadcasting services. And my experience is like I described above.
Maybe I should start reading the newspaper though... To check out the situation there myself.
@@IceQueenaliasIQ I'll give you a few more examples just to highlight how ridiculous the propaganda against China is.
Forbes article: "Part 1 Beijing Is Intentionally Underreporting China's Covid Death rate" (according to the article "Its official statistics understate the Chinese Covid death rate by 17,000% according to The Economist's model")
The New York Times: "China's Zero-Covid Policy Is a Pandemic Waiting to Happen"
Tweet from Washington Times journalist Bill Gertz: "Two years ago today a US MQ-9 Reaper drone strike killed Iran's Suleimani. To deter war with China, the US should declare the same fate awaits senior Chinese Communist Party leaders if the PRC and its military arm, the PLA, launch a war on the US."
Foreign Policy article: "Time for America to Play Offense in China’s Backyard"
NYTimes: "The Army of Millions Who Enforce China’s Zero-Covid Policy, at All Costs"
"As the troubled lockdown in Xi’an has shown, many Chinese people remain willing to work diligently toward the government’s goal of eliminating the virus, no matter the consequences."
(It gets better, the article compares China's Zero-Covid policy to the holocaust, yes really.)
"China’s early success in containing the pandemic through iron-fist, authoritarian policies emboldened its officials, seemingly giving them license to act with conviction and righteousness. Many officials now believe that they must do everything within their power to ensure zero Covid infections since it is the will of their top leader, Xi Jinping.
For the officials, virus control comes first. The people’s lives, well-being and dignity come much later."
“The banality of evil” is a concept Chinese intellectuals often invoke in moments like Xi’an. It was coined by the philosopher Hannah Arendt, who wrote that Adolf Eichmann, one of the chief architects of the Holocaust, was an ordinary man who was motivated by “an extraordinary diligence in looking out for his personal advancement.”
There's tons more. I remember one that really made me laugh was some western reporter calling CPC member showing a minority kid how to brush their teeth as 'cultural genocide'.

@@dorawang5451 are u from Uyghur?
@@dorawang5451 Yep. America sanctions them. Even some American companies, like Apple are refusing to hire Uyghurs because America will sanction them. America doesn't want to help the Uyghurs, they want to incite more civil unrest in Xinjiang. Why? Xinjiang has very valuable oil deposits and is a key connection in China's BRI. America is trying to pull another "MUH IRAQ HAS WMDS!!!!! LOOK AT THIS 14 YEAR OLD GIRL WE PAID OFF TO SAY THAT THEY HAVE THEM!!!!" and a fair amount of their population just believes it. Unfortunately for them, China is much more powerful and cannot be bombed to ashes like the Middle East without consequence.
Not many Uygurs in Shanghai, they would have to go to Xinjiang, which is entirely up to them.
They are based in Shanghai and all their interviews are done there. But there are many vloggers based in Xinjiang and have done extensive street interviews and showcases of daily life there.

@@iseetruth4917 Well, brainwashing comes from both sides. Chinese state media cannot be fully trusted as much as any state media. Thankfully, Asian Boss is one of the few unbiased media because they're independent and funded by viewers, afaik.
Until the Chinese people can speak freely without the threat of death you are only hearing biased opinions unless you have been to China and experienced Communism yourself. Remember Hong Kong?
As a fully Canadian citizen who was born in China, I feel like I have the qualifications to say that this video accurately represents the opinion of the Chinese people of today.
20 years ago the Chinese people did not have negative views of America. We tried to learn whatever we could from them and take whatever we could to develop our own country. At that time, the West thought of the Chinese as third world citizens and turned their nose up at our poverty, but we were too busy trying to get out of that poverty to care.
10 years ago, China came onto the stage as a major economy. At the time the Chinese people were very proud of what they had created. The West saw China as an opportunity and this was the time when our teachers would tell us that it's time to learn Chinese, because it is going to be the economy of the future. Chinese people started to see the West as a place where they could spend their newly acquired wealth on.
Now, the West hates China. I can't mention the slightest positive thing about China without fearing that I will be attacked. I feel unsafe in Canada, the "peaceful" country, because I don't know when my neighbors will turn on me for being Chinese. Meanwhile, Chinese citizens in China are starting to develop radical nationalistic ideas since they're tired of being slandered by the West.
I don't know what the future will bring, but I am very frustrated and angry that the West has caused the Chinese people to become toxic. I am not optimistic that relations will get better. I may have to leave this country (and all Western countries in general). I just hope that people will realize how bad war is before it comes to their doorstep.
I am not seeing the relationship with the west getting better anytime soon… just look at how the media in the west portrays China nowadays… everything is negative.
Chinese nationalism isn't just caused by western antipathy, the Chinese communist party had legitimized their power with communist one party ideology of the people, but when china became richer it abandoned communism in favor of free market capitalism thus losing its means to legitimacy, instead it now employs nationalism for legitimacy, the CCP projects itself as powerful and willing to stand up against the west which has led to both provocative aggressive behavior and as you mentioned increased nationalism and radical ideas among ordinary people.

@@feather9115 Hi Feather, the scariest part is that you thought you have all the access to transparent information, but actually, you don't. And you are the one being brainwashed by the western media like most of the westerners who have never been to China. I'm a Chinese living in Europe, what I have observed these years, is that the western media are extremely biased and negative about China. Social media like RUclips, Instagram are restricting videos or posts which are in favor of China, blocking the accounts for those who speak up for China. Some Chinese are brainwashed that's true, but most young Chinese people are using foreign social media, reading news on abroad channels, have access to all the information. Whereas all you got are worthless, faked, biased, and incomplete information pieces that serve the Western Propaganda.
I have to say, it’s been a frustrating couple of years to be a Chinese American. Hearing perspectives from both sides about general topics, there are assumptions/claims made from both parties that are wrong or reaching. There are things that China does better than the US. And there are things that the US does better than China. And I always wish both countries could learn from each other and become better together. I feel like it’s a perspective more and more people don’t have - like more people nowadays have a us against them perspective. And it’s sad. There are fellow Americans who will react negatively to me if I say anything positive about China. And there are Chinese people who will say I’m too influenced by western media. But I don’t make criticisms because I don’t like a country - it’s because I love it and I want it to improve for the better. I always loved technologies for its ability to bring more information and perspectives around the world. But now I feel like people just surround themselves with likeminded thoughts and don’t want to see what else is out there.
I agree with you 100%. During this time of the pandemic and war, everyone should be coming together. I still never understood why the heck didn't all the governments gather to solve Covid, rather than just keeping to themselves while everyone was suffering. We all went through this and still are going through this together, so therefore why not work with each other? I love China and her culture. I always have, but that doesn't excuse the bad things that's happened in thanks to them. If you criticize something you love, it only means you know it can do better. You're not choosing which is best and which sucks. Everyone has their own issues and shouldn't be too proud to admit them. There's nothing wrong with admitting you're a human being that makes mistakes. How on earth can everyone have this "us" and "them" mentality, when all of us suffer from the same pains? I'd rather stand with you in wanting folks to stand tall next to one another, rather than choosing to divide for no other reason than "you're not like me".
Thought? Censored thoughts? The fact that he and his team cannot get permission and would likely face considerable consequences if captured, this doesn't sound alarm bells? The fact that the majority of these Chinese citizens can't even watch this on youtube: the subsequent perspectives dont become tainted or biased at all? The sanctions for their actions against Hong Kong and their ACTIVE genocide is just easily downplayed away?
I wonder where the Chinese journalists, who tried to speak out about the seriousness of covid in the earliest weeks, went to? They seemed to disappear for some reason....
What a sweet peaceful comment. Almost makes you forget that one country is running concentration camps and the other isn't. One country's biggest critics are in that country and living freely. The other country's biggest critics are dead, in exile or inprisoned.
From one Chinese American to another, I agree with you 110%. Unfortunately, of the other comments here only seem to reinstate your (our) thoughts, they completely gloss over the point you are trying to make to emphasize the only thing on their minds - “concentration camp” and whatnot. Forget about the ridiculously efficient infrastructure projects, forget about our (the US’s) own internal struggles with healthcare… despite this video, they focus on what makes them feel superior about their own antagonism. Of course, on the flip side, it’s the same when trying to talk about things the US does well with Chinese friends, such as copyright law or civil activism. There’s a whole lot of “whataboutism” and not enough “_constructive_ criticism”.
Sidenote: Of course, I’m not sitting here denying that there’s important problems in Xinjiang. But if China’s growth in the past 20 years is any indication, Xi may be a lot of things, but he isn’t stupid… at the very least, not stupid enough to follow on Hitler’s footsteps. There are SO many easier ways to erase the cultural identity of a small minority than physically wiping them off the map, and focusing on the Xi=Hitler narrative is no more useful than trying to put your kid to sleep with boogeyman stories.
That was the best introduction to any video I have ever seen on RUclips ever! Enjoyed the interviews with the Chinese people in Shanghai! Overall, this is something that we Americans have to learn about more to then make an informed opinion on the subject. Some of the Chinese people had knowledge of the subject, some showed off their patriotism (which is good bc he sees that things are going well in China), some were annoyed bc USA are poking nose in China's affairs, and other expressions on the topic. These interviews offered a view from the inside with everyday Chinese living their lives, which is much better than biases and assumptions from the US. Don't get me wrong, I don't agree with certain Chinese government policies, but an open line of communication between the two countries is better than the alternative.
Besides the fact that the human rights allegations made by the West remain unsubstantiated, the US regime or the western countries has no right to interfere into the internal affairs of another independent and sovereign country. Would the IS regime and those western slanderers of China; of human rights or whatever; happily accept other countries' interference into the long list of human rights abuses of them as well. The hypocrisy of the US regime and many of its acolytes should never be tolerated, much less accepted by any independent and sovereign country. The US regime, by consistently resorting to state terrorism against other countries, has not qualification or moral standing to lecture and to pontificate to other countries when you consider what they themselves has committed in the past and also presently, in regards to human rights, freedom or even democracy. Weaponising those values to try to hold on to its hegemony, dominance and primacy can no longer work in the current time and age.
As an aside, what has the US to say about itself as the enabler of the gross abuses of the human rights and freedom of the Palestinian and Saudi Arabian peoples?
US is the source of world commotion
@@stephenlock7236 Many countries have human rights abuses at some point, whether it be China, US, Canada, UK, Australia, Russia etc. All superpowers interfere with other nations, whether it be political or technical (China & US are the worst botnet countries in the world). Most countries spy on each other. US comments on China. China comments on US (you can check out government channel CGTN tweets for evidence of that). US falling behind was inevitable, over the years politicians have failed to agree any infrastructure plan or increase manufacturing both of which China are good at. This is why China is called "factory of the world" because this is what they are good at. China may be able to export its goods but not its politics. Every country must still adhere to the UN Declaration of Human Rights, I understand both US and China have signed onto it. Besides the politics regular every day people can still get on, no matter where they are in the world, scientists do that, always communicating through political barriers to solve important world problems, medical or otherwise.

that intro! exactly, few people question mainstream media's agenda. But an independent news outlet that is trying to give voice to less heard opinions and diversify the conversation is the problem? I love what you guys do, it's not a matter of just accepting everything as true from whatever media you consume. That¡'s not how it works. What you should do is receive new information and make up your own judgement after hearing different people involved in the issue.
The real problem is nobody in China can question mainstream media or any media for that matter. I'd much rather try and figure out the "truth" on my own when different media outlets have different narratives than to be told what to think by state run media
@@jerrkyd the problem is that NYTimes, CNN, BBC, TIME, even Fox News, etc. are not truly “different” media outlets because they all roll up to the same set of owners. If you want a truly multi-faceted perspective you have to also consume Russian, Chinese, and Iranian state media.

@@jerrkyd Well, CBC up here in Canada is a state run media. I would venture that privately owned media has even more biases since it's designed to make money. You ARE the product, so any way that they can manipulate you is ok by them.
I lived in South Korea during dictatorship when media was severely censored by the gov't, so supplementing mainstream media with various independent media is probably a better way to go than just consuming one type whether it's CNN, state run Chinese media or Fox.
People in China have nothing to question because they can not see the Media outside of China.
By the tone of the intro I think you probably expected the comments to accuse you of being one-sided and whatnot, but as a Chinese I can say this is genuinely quite representative of people's views. I hope you would continue doing interviews in China in the future because the content is valuable and contributes to the agenda you have outlined

I really can't believe that people can watch these interviews and say it's all bogus and fake. You can tell, if you actually PAY ATTENTION, that the people interviewed are expressing what they feel, what their own opinions are, and aren't just saying stuff for the camera. Asian Boss has some of the most interesting, thought-provoking interviews and subjects I've ever seen. I do watch it to try to get a feel for what regular people in Asian countries think and feel. Anyone who says otherwise has the kind of closed mind that wouldn't listen to ANY opinion that doesn't mirror their own. Keep going, Asian Boss staff! You do great work! Hello from Ohio, USA
👍
So you will trust a few clowns who perform in front of the camera instead of those ordinary people living in Xinjiang? Do you believe the accusations of several people who are hostile to China, and do you really believe the true expression of the billions of Chinese people? There is no separation wall at the border of Xinjiang. It is a place where people can go in and out freely. You don't trust thousands of Chinese who live there, but you trust a few guys who play politics. I regret your independent judgment.
Yeah it's obvious that they are expressing what they feel. Whether it is 100% accurate, I do not know, but it's clear that they really mean what they say.
Now, this is what people call real journalism. Reflecting the facts as they happen (ie taking and reporting untampered feedback from the interviewees) without adding any pre-existing stance (ie anti-China or pro-US)!. Bravo! Good Job!

My experiences from visiting China are consistent with all the people being interviewed. Keep up the great work Asian Bosses, I really enjoy watching your contents.
Keep spreading the word. I also had the same experiences too visiting China. A lot of Americans are really gullible and will believe anything in their news as representative of the truth. It's the same type of rhetoric that once led Nelson Mandela to be a hated man in the US & UK and labelled a terrorist, supposed weapons of mass destruction (where they butchered innocent families and children by sending airstrikes based on a pack of lies), and justification of slavery on the rhetoric that African Americans were inferior.

The US isn't boycotting the Beijing Olympics. A month after the annoucement, the US govt turned around and applied for 18 visas for their delegates to attend. They later applied for another 40 and Beijing graciously granted the US delegates admission. The MSM just refused to disclose this information.
Yep, would have been hilarious if they denied all of em. I mean you wanted to boycott right? Why bother showing up lol
I don't understand being angry at people answering from their own perspective and bias. At least most of these interviewees had the final thought that we need to come together again somehow and I don't think you'd get that same answer if you asked Americans on the street how we should move forward...
It’s because it doesn’t confirm their beliefs. The people who are angry are the same who think that they’re the good guys and that their opinion is the only one that matters. Seeing so many common people just like them with different beliefs is difficult for some to accept
People can't accept the answers they did not expect
It's not their own perspective or bias. It's the CCP's perspective and bias. You can live in the U.S. and have any opinion you want and post it anywhere on the Internet. You hate the current/prior U.S. president? Don't agree with policies/mandates? Etc. Only thing you can be punished for is hate crimes. Watch this.
Yo, Xi JingPeePee looks like Winnie the Pooh. Also 1989 Tianamen Square massacre "never occured".
Now switch countries. A quick Google search shows that Chinese citizens are getting severely punished for simply critically thinking about anything the CCP has done. Think about that. If we were in China right now, (assuming RUclips is legal in China), my comment can land me in prison.
Also, you scare me. The "Chinese" people claim they want unity, when they don't even know what's happening outside of their country. That Belt and Road initiative seems to be falling apart really fast. The Democrats in the U.S., especially Sleepy Joe, claim they want to unify the country and the whole world. The fact that both parties goals are almost mirror images of each other... Well, history will repeat itself. Except, it won't be as simple as The Battle of Athens of 1946. It's going to be on an insurmountably larger scale. I expect 20% of the world's population to be reduced before we all wake up.

First of all, there is no proof of any human rights violations in Xinjiang. Secondly, China repeatedly invited the UN to come to Xinjiang, it's the US that told people not to go.
I visited Xinjiang multiple times and many of my family members are living there. The US never provided any real evidence about their claims about Xinjiang. You may argue that the Chinese government "covered" the whole thing, but in 2022 and everyone has access to the Internet, it's impossible to cover something like a genocide. Nowadays things like a video clip showing a man beating his wife would stir up anger from millions of Chinese on social media and the man was arrested.
From 2000 to 2020 the Uyghur population increased from 8 million to 12 million. What does genocide mean?
The sad fact is, when a lie was repeated a thousand of times, people tend to believe it. But it's not that hard to use your common sense. In 2003 Colin Powell lied to the UN by showing a tube of detergent as the evidence that Iraq had "weapons of mass destruction". What do you think the US would do if they have real evidence about Xinjiang?
The scenery and food and people in Xinjiang are amazing. Plan a trip if you have the chance and I promise you it will be great :)
What about the survivors and their families from those camps? What about all the evidence. It is beyond political motivations on part of the U.S. There are actual people suffering. Please open your eyes and research the hard evidence out there.
I am happy this is gaining attention, it means this horrific act (one that has at this point surpassed the holocaust numbers!) can be brought to people's attention.
Please do not simply say suffering doesn't exist simply because you or your family were not victim to it. It silences the voice of the victims.
There is documented evidence of forced sterilization being done on Uhyhur females, as well as forced marriages to Chinese nationals to Muslim Uyghurs. There is so much video evidence out to wipe out your denial in one shot.
It is truly horrific. Something doesn't cease to exist if we simply bury the blanket over our heads and tell ourselves it can't be possible.
The first thing we can do is educate ourselves about it before speaking. The next is to spread awareness and not assure people with platitudes when we can't speak for what is happening.
There is evidence and footage of children being kidnapped, actual torture committed on male and female Uyghurs. People are imprisoned for simple things as practicing their faith in the open.
I hope you take a look at all the evidence out there and not try to sweep other people's suffering under the rug. An evil will only be stopped when many people are paying attention to it. It is posts like yours which sink the Ugyhurs pain into nothingness.
Colin Powell? The only reason you know that is because the US government investigated and western media exposed it! You say he lied but ignore the fact that we found out he was lying and exposed him. In the west the truth comes out because we have free information and journalism.
The Chinese government lies all the time and their people don't have any way to know because they're brainwashed and have no freedom of information. If you had common sense you'd realise that your government would never tell you about anything they've ever done wrong, like Tianmen Square or the Panama papers!

@@lucky5714 Where are you? Have you seen these things happen in Xinjiang? Why are you lying?
The one thing I've learned about talking to people all over the world is that we all have our biases, including myself. Some of them is from personal belief, but much of it ALSO has to do with political manipulation and propaganda. Usually it's best to start with things that people can agree on like basic dignity, personal honour and respect for others. Most people hate bullies and backtalk or underhanded methods. We all have to give our own respective governments a degree of trust because it's where we live... but it's good to have a healthy distrust of political motivations for any political party.
It's also become increasingly difficult, especially for democratic countries, because one of the pillars of a democracy is a free and truthful press, something that has been heavily maligned in the last 10-15 years. Yes, some news outlets tend to be mouth-pieces for competing political agendas... but I think most people would agree that injustice and corruption is bad and should never be tolerated. I learned a lot from talking with American and Arab friends, especially that they are more similar than they would expect or would probably like. You notice that when the question of "why would you mistrust Western media... the standard authoritarian arguments to not trust ANY media comes up, but isn't applicable to their own state run media (and that the most respected investigative journalism outlets get mentioned, like the BBC.)
It's very curious!

In my personal opinion, China is right on rejecting others that just want to have unfettered access to a country. The US and EU won't allow it then why would any truly sovereign country allow it.

If you - for example - criticize the "mainstream media" in the west, which is definitely a valid thing to do (although a bit undifferentiated), the logical conclusion is not: China and the Chinese media is right! In fact, there is no logical conclusion because the world is not that easy to comprehend.
Wow a comment I really resonate with.
That's right. Just because one side is wrong does not make the other side right by default.
The problem is that people are predisposed to give credibility to Western sources and predisposed to disbelieve anything from Chinese sources
This is the only comment that I totally agreed with
This is everything.
I lived in Xinjiang for 10 years in my childhood, when Xinjiang topic suddenly burst in western countries, i saw how those medias described it. I was like: Did i live in a fake city?????😂
Wonderful content. Powerful. Stephen and the rest, you have my absolute respect.
But the translation still can be better.
6:54 She said "如果我们纯粹地从……哪怕不从学术上，从新闻的真实性的角度来看，仍然是存疑的。" Which I believe would translate into "If we take it purely from... It is questionable, even if not technically, from the point of view of the authenticity of the news."
8:35 Minor problem: she said "打砸抢烧" which means beating, smashing, looting and burning," not exactly mentioning "shooting."
(Sorry for the Simplified Chinese if you'd take offence.)
Also I just want to say... before Stephen brought this up (with swear words) I barely knew some people would say those about AB's content, and how hard it must have been for the team. I guess this really is a divided world. We do need reminders like these.
Keep it up!
Thank you Asian Boss for the great content! It's always interesting to hear and see voices from others that we normally would not have the opportunity to have a conversation with. I will admit, the gentleman in the green jacket raised a good point, there are some places here in the states that you would think twice about walking late at night, sad but it's true. Violence and crime have increased :(.
I felt the same way toward his answer tbh

@@almightysauerkraut6165 Hardly. I’m in the UK and we view a whole load of the US as being unruly. I think when can put education and over-policing and lack of local help for prevention as being the biggest causes of this.

As a Chinese, and I have worked in Xinjiang for some time in the past, I want to tell my friends from different places
In Xinjiang or Tibet, what is most needed is schools, hospitals, roads, airports and modern cities, the Internet, and power grids, rather than so-called religious or spiritual advancement
Herders and monks in temples are very poor and short-lived More of them would prefer to be doctors, engineers, scientists and teachers than poor shepherds all their lives, as opposed to religion
Americans want Xinjiang to be poor forever, so that more conflicts and wars can be created
We don’t need any of your so called modernization road or unwanted facilities which it’s not even basic human need … as human beings we need freedom and basic human rights we don’t need your sympathy or empathy we were happy and free people so, stop abusing our culture and religion and most importantly don’t dare to take our identities.
I'm not sure how the US plays any part in Xinjiang being poor or wanting them to be poor. That's ridiculous. Their government should be allocating funds to fix those issues, yet they aren't. They're apparently thriving so much, why aren't they solving these issues in the dilapidated and impoverished parts of the country? The same can be said of the US, but that's also on OUR government to fix. Not any other's.
If the US wanted to cause conflicts and wars due to another countries poverty, they wouldn't be sending aid to the DPRK, another country with which we have conflicts, when they've requested it.
And as a Tibetan, I've to tell you that your red govt ILLEGALLY OCCUPIED an independent Tibet.
You know what they've done? They murdered millions of Tibetans. Your govt has been destroying our identity, language, culture, environment, religion, fundamental rights, and basic freedoms since 1949!
I know telling these are not helpful since u will refuse to believe the TRUTH. Or r u just some CCP paid commenter huh?
@@morganmariex The Chinese government is doing their hardest to lift the poor and the uneducated in the far flung regions out of poverty by teaching them skills to achieve economic freedom. The question is how to do it without seemingly like a overbearing regime. The western propaganda machine is grossly exaggerating some of the growing pains, while deliberately censoring all positive news from being seen be the western population. Our US government is in deep fear of China because our society is crumbling while the poiliticians are too busy getting rich from the corrupt power structure they seem to hold on forever. They are trying to make China look like hell so we the people can not demand better.
@@pemadolker985 Road, schools, communication infrastructure aren't needed? Freedom and Human Rights are important, but they don't exist in the vacuum of a backward poor society. Lifting the population out of poverty should absolutely be considered as providing the economic freedom that people needs. Take US for example, where crime and incarceration is sky high for the economically impoverished minorities. People walk in fear of their safety and have no future other than a minimum wage job, drugs, and structural racism.
I feel like not involving an actual Chinese uyghur in the interview is like not asking a black, Hispanic, or Asian person about political matters that concern them and asking a White person.
China has 56 ethnic groups totaling 1.4 billion people, 55 ethnic groups account for 8% of the population. Uighurs number about 10 million, mostly in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. The odds of you picking a Random Uighur off the street are pretty low.
Yea

@@yt23333 as a Hmong/miao american, i choose to believe western media instead of Chinese media. why, well maybe cause the reason why i dotn live in china is because my ancester was face with genocide by past chinese government in their attemp to assimilate all teh minority group and fade out their blood and culture. i rather be carefula nd have families in china to move asset offshore just in case thign turn sour, they can get out.
A lot of the interviewee are quite level headed and logical, they're not afraid to say that they didn't know some things and speak only from what they knew, of course there's some outliers but overall this is a quite good interview. I wondered if you ever interviewed chinese citizens about the conflict of interest in South China Sea, I think it would be an interesting watch.
yeah their opinions regarding the 9 dash line would be interesting to hear.
@@Otter-Destruction Most people would say it's China. They even show it as a part of China on their maps.
Most will say “自古以来，南海就是…” hhh
They know more than you.
level headed and logical? Did you watch this video? All criticism about China was fake news according to them.
I’m really thankful for this channel, I don’t know what to believe from the US media anymore
Learn media literacy: Who is telling me this? Why are they telling me this? Why are they telling me this right now? Who are the sources? Do the sources have a conflict of interest? What does other media say? for example, Saudi Arabia, US ally, country that pushes Salafaism to achieve their geo-political goals does not condemn China, you would think if anyone would, they would. What about other Muslim countries? Are there other Muslims in other parts of China? Are Uyghurs participating in the Syrian civil war? Why was ETIM taken off the US terrorist list in 2014? Etc. Everything is connected. You might not get the truth but the bigger picture would not hurt
I stopped watching and relying on American news, because I am really sick and tired of their loaded vocabulary and rhetoric. They only care about stirring up my emotions just to get me invested into their stories.
Theyre dividing the country rather than bringing it together. Its a really toxic outlook and it will only allow china to surpass the US in all aspects. If the country worked together and started to understand each other, the US would develop at a much faster pace than it is now
The fact that uighurs are in camps rn is not something invented by the us.
US mainstream media and social media are untrustworthy, they just generate billions in profits. Try researching your news and try to study the history.
Love the frankness and passion expressed at the beginning of the video. Need more of this.
No, you need to talk to Chy-knees who have escaped the satanic CCP and are not scared to tell the truth for fear of their own safety and that of their family komrade.

Just FYI: 1. VPN is not the only tool. Even my 60-year old father knows where to purchase a special TV cable so that he can watch hundreds of TV channels around the world... 2. Yea it’s law but it’s not strictly enforced... so what’s the point of focusing on the legal form but not the real substance... or what’s the point of making comments on things not happened yet - e.g. the government will enforce it strictly one day... 3. the info of Chinese people may be restricted in some degree... but how do you know the info revealed by western media is 100% true... I have seen people recommending some channels to let us Chinese know more about ourselves. Most of the videos are dubbed and blurred, which just don’t look reliable... Please just don’t act like you know everything better than us............It’s a 1.4 billion population, there must be someone smarter than you.......and most of them get chances to go aboard but you don’t.......
Exactly! It's just utter nonsense. Contrary to what's reported in Western media, VPN is perfectly legal in China - I was on RUclips throughout my time visiting friends in China. When you point this out, they always respond with something along the lines of.... Why do Chinese have to use VPN in the first place? To which I respond well just why not? All China is doing is prioritising their own social media content over Western-centric ones like RUclips that contain mostly Western-centric views that the Chinese can access anyway anytime if they prefer to YT, like I did, but the reality is that Chinese people don’t want to use YT, they would rather choose their own equivalent of YT and Chinese apps where many, I should also point out, are banned in the US. It's just ridiculous and some Westerners are so self-centred that they can't see that they are imposing onto the Chinese which apps, content they should or should not consume and what values they should align with. It's the same self-righteous, sanctimonious ‘I know better’ saviour mindset that has led to colonialism, war crimes and atrocities (including the deaths of millions of innocent Iranian families and children) in which the US and UK own the most.
