      When Katherine, an American blogger, visited the city, local people sniffed at her when they heard that she was an American. The main reason is that Uighurs are very disgusted with the United States for using them as tools. In fact, the Uyghur people love China very much. Before the Uyghur athletes participated in the Beijing Winter Olympics, many Uyghur people rode horses and held the national flag to bid them farewell, because everyone hoped that Uyghurs could bring glory to their country.

      对了,作为中国人,强烈建议西方游客来玩,绝对超值。如果是美国人...额,也可以来玩,但是,哈哈哈哈哈~不要来操纵议题,不要带着高高在上的有色眼镜,不要带着偏见和独断专行,我想,新疆人民,自然是热情好客的。

    Hi Josie! As a college student in xinjiang ,it is of great pleasure to discover a foreign vlogger traveling to xinjiang telling the whole world how prosperous this place is. I do think that a large sum of rumors may be eliminated under your effort.😊😊 China is such a vast country that it is just like an encyclopedia waiting for you to explore.we’ve got different climates,landscapes,ethnicities etc. embracing our foreign friends.🎉🎉🎉
    But what is even more important,I’ve notice that some people had stolen your video to bilibili and douyin (chinese tiktok ) without your permission. Maybe you can register a Chinese official channel in bilibili or douyin to protect the copyright and share your upload with Chinese fans officially and directly. (You can take the English RUclipsr jackandpaige as a reference )This is a genuine suggestion from one of your Chinese fan ,hope you could notice 😢

      Please note that foreigners, especially, must see this information, because it is very important for you to understand China, Xizang and the West's smear and falsification of China's history. Firstly, let me tell you the difference between the Republic of China and the People's Republic of China. The Republic of China was a government group mainly composed of warlords and slave owners, led by Chiang Kai shek. During the period of the Republic of China from 1912 to 1948, over 92% of Chinese people were slaves of warlords and slave owners. In order to resist the enslavement and oppression of the warlord government of the Republic of China, a group of teachers, students, workers, and farmers led by Mao Zedong and other Communist Party members formed a team to resist the oppression of warlords and slave owners, called the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, which is now the name of the People's Republic of China army: the People's Liberation Army. The Communist Party's army is composed of workers, farmers, and students. The army led by Mao Zedong, consisting of workers, farmers, students, and teachers, and the army led by Chiang Kai shek, consisting of warlords, slave owners, and some capitalists, engaged in a 28 year civil war struggle. In the end, the army led by Mao Zedong, consisting of workers and farmers, achieved victory and drove the warlords and slave owners led by Chiang Kai shek to Taiwan. Mao Zedong established the People's Republic of China, which was founded on October 1, 1949. This historical background is very important.
      The People's Republic of China, led by workers and farmers, resisted the oppression of warlords, landlords, and evil gentry. In the end, the Republic of China was driven to Taiwan, and The Communist Party, workers, and farmers led by Mao Zedong achieved victory . When you understand that the Communist Party led by Mao Zedong, the founder of the People's Republic of China, was a political party of workers and peasants, while Chiang Kai shek, the leader of the Republic of China, was a warlord and slave owner government that oppressed and enslaved the Chinese people, you will know that the Chiang Kai shek warlord slave owner group, which was driven to Taiwan by the Chinese people, was anti communist. This is also in line with the Western anti communist intentions. Therefore, Taiwan and the West united to lie and smear the Communist Party in Western media, which has caused many foreigners to have deep misunderstandings and distorted their understanding of China.
      The Chinese army liberated Xizang in 1951. Note that it is important here: Before Xizang was liberated by the PLA in 1951, they were all slaves. This historical background is very important. They are all slaves. It is the people's army composed of workers and farmers led by the Communist Party: the People's Liberation Army, which has saved the people of Xizang and Xizang. All the people here have been saved from the oppression and enslavement of slave owners from generation to generation. Before the Communist Party came to Xizang and Xizang, the people here were all slaves of the slave owners. After the Communist Party liberated Xizang and Xinjiang, the people here were saved from the slavery of the slave owners. The Communist Party helped the people of Xinjiang and Tibet to plow and build roads together. The Communist Party gave farmland and other fields to Xizang and the people of Xinjiang. They have shared the land and obtained the land resources that can feed their families. In addition, the Communist Party and the people in Xizang have worked together to build roads and cultivate fields, which has won the support of the people of Tibet and Xinjiang. If someone has a deep understanding of Xizang, especially the older generation of Xizang's elderly and old families, you can also see that their homes are hung with "Mao Zedong" photos. Because they regarded Mao Zedong as a bodhisattva who saved the world.
      Many elderly people in Xizang have a head portrait of Mao Zedong. There are also many local folk songs of Xizang and Xinjiang, which are songs of thanking Mao Zedong. Why should we thank Mao Zedong? Because Mao Zedong let the Chinese army liberate Xizang in people in Xizang. The Tibetan people are no longer slaves, but the masters of the country. The PLA and the people in Xizang in Xinjiang built roads together, and distributed land to the people of Xizang in Xinjiang. The people thanked Mao Zedong. In Western media, it is all about smearing and reversing historical facts. The biggest villain is the Kuomintang of the Republic of China. This group of people is a vested interest group that oppresses and enslaves the people. They are warlords, landlords, and evil gentry who have oppressed the Chinese people for generations. It was Mao Zedong who led the Communist Party and saved the Chinese people. Therefore, Mao Zedong is like a bodhisattva and savior in the hearts of the Chinese people. Without Mao Zedong, there would be no Chinese people today. Hope, foreigners, if you are fortunate enough, you must purchase a set of "Selected Works of Mao Zedong" on Taobao.This set of books used to be the best-selling book in the world, so be sure to buy both Chinese and English versions because it is convenient for foreigners to read the content clearly. We can better understand the CPC and China's past, and better expose the Western smear on China. Thank you very much for reading it. We look forward to more foreigners coming to China for in-depth investigation and research. Finally, a reminder to foreign friends: Do not believe the rumors and smears about China spread by Western media and certain Chinese media on platforms such as RUclips, Twitter, and Facebook. They are all bad people who have been driven away by the Chinese people, and most of them are descendants of warlords, landlords, and evil gentry.

    It's sad to see the U.S and EU government doing everything they can to destroy Xinjiangs economy by banning all imports from that region which affects their livelihoods. Luckily China is such a large country and population that they can support Xinjiangs economy themselves through tourism and modernization.

    Josie is such a lovely and sunny girl. Welcome to China. Just for your reference, in 2009, some bad thing happended in Xinjiang, some riots rushed to the steets, attacking and killing....Since then, policeman was assigned every corner of the street to make sure the safety. But you don't have to worry it at all.

      I’m from enping and taishan is about 1ish hr away from us. We speak different dialects and I have an extremely difficult time understanding their dialect despite being basically neighbors. However, we can communicate with each other in Chinese mandarin or Cantonese. The western media has always twisted the government intention to unify the country with one common language. The government doesn’t forbid us from speaking our native dialect. The government requires us to learn one additional language so we can all communicate with each other.

    Urumqi, as the capital of Xinjiang, has a population of only 4 million, while Kashgar has a population of 4.5 million. Moreover, over 90% of Kashgar is Uyghur, making it a tourist destination as many people visit to experience the most authentic Uyghur culture. Most of the local government officials and police are Uyghurs, and this is also the largest gateway city to Central Asia. Many young people are fluent in Chinese and can also speak some simple English, making communication with them easier.

      ​@@josievlogsthings I completely agree that Xinjiang is different from other Chinese cities - it has a unique charm all its own - in the sense of how the city looks and feels. What I was trying to express earlier is that I wonder if part of your reaction was influenced by what you might have heard or expected before going there. It’s such a fascinating place, and I felt that my own expectations were challenged in a positive way by seeing the reality there. I didn’t mean to suggest that Xinjiang isn’t unique, just that sometimes our reactions can be shaped by what we’ve been told beforehand.
      I really appreciate the positive impact you're making through your vlog. It's something I wish I could have done myself. What you and Michael are doing is fantastic. Let's keep spreading the word and encouraging more people to visit and experience the beauty of this region firsthand.
      You might notice that in China, people sometimes push through crowds or smoke in places where smoking isn’t allowed. It can seem inconsiderate or rude, but it's actually tied to the competitive nature of society (69 times larger population than Australia) and the fact that considerate smoking is still being promoted and not fully enforced (or educated) yet. Similarly, in Australia, customer service can sometimes come across as laid-back to the point of being dismissive. It’s common to hear "there is nothing I can do" or be told to "wait on the side" while the staff don’t seem very active. This isn’t necessarily rude but reflects a more relaxed attitude toward customer interactions.

    XingJiang is supposed to be in a different time zone geographically. However, China is a centralized country so Beijing Time applies to every city. People don't need to calculate the time difference when doing business. I traveled to XingJiang for business and found people there started working around 11-12 pm and off work at 9 pm.

      @CaidenUs 3 месяца назад

      The Western countries want to suppress China's rise. Under the banner of freedom, the West is actually limiting your freedom. In China, apart from the lack of internet freedom, everything else is more free than in the West, and it's safe and reliable. The West uses slander and lies to smear China, but there are atrocities everywhere, and China is relatively the safest. Do you remember the Olympics? Led by the West, American athletes claimed to have asthma to get access to stimulants, yet they unjustly criticized China. Is this what a free country looks like?
