As an Asian(Chinese) American citizen listening in this program, my answer is I feel not safe in USA. My life has changed to staying home more; afraid to go out like before. It is unfair for USA politicians, especially former President Donald Trump saying "All Chinese are spies"..!
Why not move to China or Singapore. I am a Canadian and moved to China 23 years ago. Best decision ever. The word asian american is so far away from me now and their issues are actually becoming more alien to me even though I am still Chinese Canadian. When I live in Canada, some people don't treat me like their own. Now in China, everyone treat me like local even though I am actually a foreigner. Live with dignity and respect. You should be proud of your heritage and identity and should never fear going to public places. If you feel afraid and cannot do anything to change it, then move to a better place where you will be respected. China will always be for the Chinese people no matter what nationalities you have. Now it is much easier to get permanent resident permit in China.
Exactly. It’s a form of colonialism. The UK use the judicial arm of HongKong government to facilitate its interest in China. It’s not new. Many European countries still run key departments of their formal colonies in Africa and South America. For example France controls the central bank and treasury of many western African countries. These countries don’t even have their own independent currencies. This setup helps France continue to steal Africa’s resources. And while Europe blame African leaders for their economic problems.
At the root of such sweeping, blanket hate lies racism. Are ethnic Chinese who hold US citizenship demonstrably less loyal to their country than people who hold dual citizenship? I heard that there are officals in the White House and lawmakers in Congress who hold dual citizenship.
My post saying ethnic Chinese citizens are no less loyal than people who hold dual citizemship was swiftly censored by UT. I wonder why people shouldn't know this.
Because many of them are brainwashed and have developed anti China stances as well. Many of them don't know anything about China and are completly Americanized culturally and way of thinking.
American Chinese* Cmon they will never accept you like they accept other nationalities such as white British and Australians. They’d be fine with Russians too but they would never see an Asian man as their own.
all good Chinese Scientists based in the US should go back to China and contribute to its growth. China today is different from many years ago. You won't have to look over your shoulders all the time. you will also make more money. good luck..
Many have done just that. The "spy" episode mentioned happened some years ago. Many scientists & other Chinese got the message & got out. China happily welcomed them home.
The root cause of this issue is that USA cannot accept the rise of China. But Americans probably do not know China has been the world number one in military, economy, technology, infrastructure, etc. for thousands of years. Obviously there were ups and downs throughout these long years. For the last 150 years till 1980s, China was at its weakest time but in the past 40 years, China has come back and become strong again. This is the natural progression of China.
According to World Bank data, China's GDP growth rate in the 1970s (1971-1980) was 11%; From 99.8 billion US dollars (1971) to 306.2 billion US dollars (1980) From 1950 to 1980, China's annual GDP growth rate was 8%; This is still a result of the sanctions imposed by the United States and the Soviet Union on China.
The following article is written by Ismail Bashmori, he is an Egyptian China watcher. The truth is that China is the greatest country on the face of the earth. It makes all other countries look insignificant and contemptible. It is the most brilliant, most industrious, most ambitious, most educated, meritocratic and technocratic, most modern, sophisticated, and civilised, and best-governed by far. . It is the first non-white, non-Western country to reach this status since the 1600s. The determination of this country is indescribable. Supernatural. There is no force that can stop it from accomplishing anything it wants to do. It doesn’t matter who we are. Egyptians, Syrians, Pakistanis, Indians, Africans, even Americans. Next to the Chinese, we are pathetic. We can’t do what they do. We would have a mountain, an Everest of changes to make, and we would whine and bicker and fail at every one of them. China’s story since the 1980s has been one of an almost divine metamorphosis. Next to China the entire Western world from Alaska to New Zealand has stagnated. Next to China the entire developing world from Brazil to Madagascar has progressed only at a crawl. China is the mother of all gargantuan bullet trains. Every day it manages to create something new and astonishing. And unlike the United States, unlike the British Empire, unlike the French, Dutch, Germans, Spanish, Portuguese or any other Western nation that had its turn at being a superpower in the past four centuries, China doesn’t need to run anybody over or take something from somebody else, to rise majestically. China is also standing up to the West all by herself. The West can’t believe their four-hundred-year-old global supremacy is being challenged. They hoped that the more China developed, the more it would submit to their influence, interests, and leadership. That didn’t happen. So now they will do anything possible, short of a nuclear war, to make China end. Their goal is to destroy this country. That’s why, although the United States has killed several million people and turned several regions of the earth into hellscapes. China is the worst fear of our planet’s Western masters. They want you to despise and dread a country that’s done nothing to you, that hasn’t invaded anyone, bombed or sanctioned anyone, that hasn’t overthrown any foreign government, or used its military on anything since 1979. China is the only major country in the nonwhite developing world, to stand up to the West. To look it in the eye when challenged or threatened. The Global South are simply Western puppets who submitted long ago. Even the most powerful ones. Saudi Arabia, Brazil, India. The 1500s-1000s BC were Egypt’s time. Antiquity belonged to the Greeks and Romans. The 1700s belonged to France, and the 1800s to Britain. From 1945 to the present, the world has been under American overlordship. And they call it the Pax Americana but there isn’t much Pax in it. There’s plenty of Pax if you’re in Europe or Australia. But the Middle East? Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Iran and Yemen in the past 20 years. Latin America? They’ve destroyed that part of the world beyond any hope of recovery. Africa? It’s only been spared because of disinterest. The US sees Africa as nothing. The whole West does. But in the twenty-first century, we are witnessing the rise of China. We are decades away from China becoming the greatest power on earth. This will be China’s time, and there’s nothing anyone can do about it. Attack China all you want, curse her and monger rumours and hysteria - but the truth is that none of your accusations are backed up by evidence. The Western press is under the thumb of Western governments that want to stay on top of the world for eternity. And the truth is that China is not affected by the noise and maneuvers of her enemies. For her first thirty years, from 1949 to 1979, China was basically blockaded and isolated economically and politically by the West. It didn’t even have a seat in the UN General Assembly. And it was dirt-poor in those days, barely a speck of the global economy, a tiny fraction of Japan’s or Germany’s GDP - not even able to prevent famine. And it still didn’t submit to pressure or take any orders. Why on earth would it do that now? China will be the next global power. There’s nothing that can be done about that. The first stage is that its economy only needs to grow at 4.7 percent per year to become the world’s largest by 2035. That means the usual, historical bare-minimum of 6 percent is already overkill. The US can build as many bases as it wants, slap as many sanctions as it wants, recognise whatever bogus genocides it wants. That’s what it’s been doing all along. Has any of it made a difference? China can adapt to any situation. It took China a mere ten years to go from being barred by the US Congress from participating in the “International” Space Station, to building its own Space Station from zero.

If you haven't already, please read Edward Snowdon's book - ' Permanent Record' it is an eye opener. Poor Edward is being hounded like a rabbit for truth telling.
Excellent programme, and so factual. My interpretation of the anti China issue (which is based on over 77 years of first hand fact & knowledge) is that for many years, China was always seen as a backward country, one which didn't recognise patents and produced cheap copies of anything you can mention, to the world. Fortunately, it's working it's way out of that scenario now. However, when it comes to the positive side of things, no mention is made (by the US primarily) of the Chinese achievements in this world. Just in the US, the Chinese built the Western section of their Transcontinental railway. The most difficult part through the mountains from the West Coast through to the great deserts beyond. More recently, Chinese built the new Bay Bridge in SFO, underquoting almost a dozen other bidders, (who pulled out when they heard of the Chinese bid). That bridge was built under time & under budget, yet no plaudits are given to the Chinese who built it. In my country, (New Zealand) which is very much influenced by the US propaganda machine, Chinese were very involved in the mining of gold in the early years when no-one else wanted to do it. After WW2, many chinese were brought to this country to farm our market gardens, which they did so successfully, when no NZer wanted to do it. The list goes on. I think that today, the US has realised that China is smarter than they are in so many ways, that their position as (self appointed) world leader is under threat & the only way they can best overcome that, is by verbally denigrating them. President Trump did possibly the most damage with his constant China bashing while he was in power. And through the influence of US backed world media, we and other nations followed suit. Anyway, congratulations on a great posting. New subscriber..
Asian Americans play a significant role in US science and technology but are way under-represented in American politics. Many are leaving the US for places like Singapore and China. Anti-China hate is a bipartisan affair. Even the few Asian American representatives in Congress are too meek to pushback against the hate.
Our hearts go out to you all from the Global South and our unending support. Stay strong guys. Hatred which is evil in nature has no long term life. The Chinese people as I know have great resilience and will always surmount and come out smarter and stronger in the face of any types of injustice. God bless you all 🙏

Thank you for sharing the state of affairs of American Chinese in the USA. Oppression by a so- called democratic country…laughable. I dread visiting USA as a tourist…
Brilliant program, I hope that its objective of promoting peace and friendly relationship between US and China is achieved. Unfortunately, the historical position of the hegemon that US holds precludes it from allow this to be the case as it sees China as its only rival to dethrone it.
I've noticed since 2020, so many Chinese Culture centers around this country have shut down, it's very sad, as they were community centers as well. It also says so much that FARA is used to go after US nationals who want to make relationships between Chinese American community with Chinese consulate. There's been stuff in AAPI community going like "we're asian but we're also american!! we're american!!" trying to garner acceptance into wider American populace, but then there's this, right. You can't have relationships with other Chinese people, you're American, you're MINE, we own you, you're us, you're not them, if you have any relationship with actual people from your heritage land, you're a spy 🙃
Another great video, as we look forward to many more such pro China videos being created by other similarly well informed and committed youtubers ! Almost like the continuation of the Chinese Exclusion Act, us overseas Chinese with today 's ascendant Motherland emerging as an economic superpower and viewed as a perceived threat, we need to rally Together much better and faster knowing full well that it is Only by uniting as a stronger body can we hope to counter this constant and growing Asian hatred in the US and its allies. That way , the defenseless persecuted victims can hope for some justice and compensation too, even ironically in a land that supposedly upholds freedom and equality! Yes, Chinese / Asians' lives matter too ! In sharp contrast to the lengthy international uproar for George Floyd, the deafening silence and the very absence of any major demonstration condemning such repeated brutal and senseless racist murders on Asians are disheartening !
The national security law does not mean HK has less freedom and democracy. Every country has national security laws. USA's laws are more draconian. UK's laws are more draconian. China's law is pretty mild by comparison. HK should still be #1 for freedom and democracy.
There was an interesting video clip that put two pictures side by side of US Olympic athletes and Chinese. On one side are the US swimmers with purple faces. One of the US swimmers is an Asian American(possibly Chinese American) yet still with a purple face. While the other picture shows both Chinese swimmers without the purple face. Now the content creator of that video clip says that the purpuling of the face of the US swimmers. Is due to the use of performance drugs. Which the efforts of swimming causes the purpuling of the face. Now I don't know the facts of this claim of the content creator. But if it's true. Then it definitely answers who is the baddies of this whole China cheating projection narrative. As to the anti China BS ramped up by Trump and further antagonized by Biden and others. I remember clearly having people tell me to get the F out of their country. I also remember being asked by a white Dunkin Donuts employee, if I was legal. Along with other passive aggressive insinuations to open racist hostility. I am a naturalized Korean. Adopted when I was 7 years old. Therefore my name after adoption.
Latinos, Middle Easterners and Africans must also be aware of prosecution and harassment from our government. Sady, things have gotten worst as our economy fails its people and scapegoats are needed. Thank you for an excellent video - important and informative.
I write about semiconductor research - most these days comes out of China. And the research from the rest of the world (especially US) have author lists with about half of the names being from the Far East.

This happened in Australia as well. People who have been promoting relationship between students in universities and Chinese cultures were blackened as spying and coercion. Chinese people who work as lobbyists in Australian government promoting Chinese businesses and projects were suddenly seen as foreign agents (especially if they had prior or current membership in the CCP) and any Australian politician working with such people would be treated as traitor and defamed or lose their jobs. It was on a roll. Every week there was a TV feature on some Chinese spies. Front page news every alternate days. Australia got served with an ice cold shoulder from China but Australia got furious and humiliated. To this day the Foreign Minister is trying to renew the business deals and return trade to previous levels. This episode was frustrating but also laughable now that everyone saw the impact of that cold shoulder! Australia can't afford to fight China, but it's following its big brother US. When will Australia realize that US can't save them when things go bad?

Before the revolution, Cuba was a very racist society. Remember, Spaniards are/were European and had African slaves. Cuba and the US were very much alike.
Racism doesn't require Anglos. 😂

China is kicking Tesla’s EV ASS!
THE PRICES UNBELIEVABLE TOO
Many BYD cars here in Thailand, very nice looking cars
Bullshit. China EVs are trash, nowhere near Tesla's quality
@@kathylloyd8367 You can't believe it because, you correctly believed, it must cost them more in parts, more money to just make the car than it sells for. You are correct. The cars are massively subsidized by the Chinese government. This of it like this: every time one of those cars is sold, China loses a pile of money. Or, you can say they are paying you to buy the car. paying you with money that could go to bowls of rice for their people but instead you're taking it from them.
Stiffer competition.
BYD is backed by Berkshire Hathaway of Charile Munger and Warren Buffett - not just in vehicle manufacturing, but also in semiconductors, auto parts, PCs and related products and more recently, contract manufacturing where it recently captured Apple as its biggest foreign client 😊😊😊😊
As an Asian(Chinese) American citizen listening in this program, my answer is I feel not safe in USA. My life has changed to staying home more; afraid to go out like before. It is unfair for USA politicians, especially former President Donald Trump saying "All Chinese are spies"..!
Same here, I basically live in my own bubble, hardly stepping out of my neighborhood unnecessarily. The good news is my family is moving back to Asia.
why not consider moving back to your country of origin?
Why not move to China or Singapore. I am a Canadian and moved to China 23 years ago. Best decision ever. The word asian american is so far away from me now and their issues are actually becoming more alien to me even though I am still Chinese Canadian. When I live in Canada, some people don't treat me like their own. Now in China, everyone treat me like local even though I am actually a foreigner. Live with dignity and respect. You should be proud of your heritage and identity and should never fear going to public places. If you feel afraid and cannot do anything to change it, then move to a better place where you will be respected. China will always be for the Chinese people no matter what nationalities you have. Now it is much easier to get permanent resident permit in China.
Go home and join PLA
Than return to China, your country isn0t occupied.
Julie is so right 👍 Thank you!
Why the F British judges are still allowed to work in the court? It's outrageous 🤬
And their pay is over the top 720k and doesn’t have to speak the language.
Absolutely ridiculous 😠
Exactly. It’s a form of colonialism. The UK use the judicial arm of HongKong government to facilitate its interest in China. It’s not new. Many European countries still run key departments of their formal colonies in Africa and South America. For example France controls the central bank and treasury of many western African countries. These countries don’t even have their own independent currencies. This setup helps France continue to steal Africa’s resources. And while Europe blame African leaders for their economic problems.
I think it's because China respects the retrocession agreements under one country two systems.
It won't be long before they be out of work when Shariah laws take over UK!
The true face of USA, it's glorious isn't it?
USA ! More like the United Zionist republic.
At the root of such sweeping, blanket hate lies racism. Are ethnic Chinese who hold US citizenship demonstrably less loyal to their country than people who hold dual citizenship? I heard that there are officals in the White House and lawmakers in Congress who hold dual citizenship.
My post saying ethnic Chinese citizens are no less loyal than people who hold dual citizemship was swiftly censored by UT. I wonder why people shouldn't know this.
Glorious? More like being despicable really.

IF ALL Chinese Americans relocate to China. That would be devastating to the US Sci, Tech, and economy.
Because many of them are brainwashed and have developed anti China stances as well. Many of them don't know anything about China and are completly Americanized culturally and way of thinking.
@@buymecola1They may be forced to with all this racism
Already ongoing.
American Chinese* Cmon they will never accept you like they accept other nationalities such as white British and Australians. They’d be fine with Russians too but they would never see an Asian man as their own.
Don't worry.... There are always Indians waiting to take those jobs... 😂

Wow I love this idea. The China report! Excellent addition Breakthrough News! 👍

all good Chinese Scientists based in the US should go back to China and contribute to its growth. China today is different from many years ago. You won't have to look over your shoulders all the time. you will also make more money. good luck..
Yes, but some of them hate China.
Many have done just that. The "spy" episode mentioned happened some years ago. Many scientists & other Chinese got the message & got out. China happily welcomed them home.

The root cause of this issue is that USA cannot accept the rise of China. But Americans probably do not know China has been the world number one in military, economy, technology, infrastructure, etc. for thousands of years. Obviously there were ups and downs throughout these long years. For the last 150 years till 1980s, China was at its weakest time but in the past 40 years, China has come back and become strong again. This is the natural progression of China.
According to World Bank data, China's GDP growth rate in the 1970s (1971-1980) was 11%;
From 99.8 billion US dollars (1971) to 306.2 billion US dollars (1980)
From 1950 to 1980, China's annual GDP growth rate was 8%;
This is still a result of the sanctions imposed by the United States and the Soviet Union on China.
The following article is written by Ismail Bashmori, he is an Egyptian China watcher.
The truth is that China is the greatest country on the face of the earth. It makes all other countries look insignificant and contemptible. It is the most brilliant, most industrious, most ambitious, most educated, meritocratic and technocratic, most modern, sophisticated, and civilised, and best-governed by far. .
It is the first non-white, non-Western country to reach this status since the 1600s. The determination of this country is indescribable. Supernatural. There is no force that can stop it from accomplishing anything it wants to do.
It doesn’t matter who we are. Egyptians, Syrians, Pakistanis, Indians, Africans, even Americans. Next to the Chinese, we are pathetic. We can’t do what they do. We would have a mountain, an Everest of changes to make, and we would whine and bicker and fail at every one of them. China’s story since the 1980s has been one of an almost divine metamorphosis.
Next to China the entire Western world from Alaska to New Zealand has stagnated. Next to China the entire developing world from Brazil to Madagascar has progressed only at a crawl.
China is the mother of all gargantuan bullet trains. Every day it manages to create something new and astonishing. And unlike the United States, unlike the British Empire, unlike the French, Dutch, Germans, Spanish, Portuguese or any other Western nation that had its turn at being a superpower in the past four centuries, China doesn’t need to run anybody over or take something from somebody else, to rise majestically.
China is also standing up to the West all by herself. The West can’t believe their four-hundred-year-old global supremacy is being challenged. They hoped that the more China developed, the more it would submit to their influence, interests, and leadership. That didn’t happen. So now they will do anything possible, short of a nuclear war, to make China end.
Their goal is to destroy this country. That’s why, although the United States has killed several million people and turned several regions of the earth into hellscapes.
China is the worst fear of our planet’s Western masters. They want you to despise and dread a country that’s done nothing to you, that hasn’t invaded anyone, bombed or sanctioned anyone, that hasn’t overthrown any foreign government, or used its military on anything since 1979.
China is the only major country in the nonwhite developing world, to stand up to the West. To look it in the eye when challenged or threatened.
The Global South are simply Western puppets who submitted long ago. Even the most powerful ones. Saudi Arabia, Brazil, India.
The 1500s-1000s BC were Egypt’s time. Antiquity belonged to the Greeks and Romans. The 1700s belonged to France, and the 1800s to Britain. From 1945 to the present, the world has been under American overlordship. And they call it the Pax Americana but there isn’t much Pax in it.
There’s plenty of Pax if you’re in Europe or Australia. But the Middle East? Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Iran and Yemen in the past 20 years. Latin America? They’ve destroyed that part of the world beyond any hope of recovery. Africa? It’s only been spared because of disinterest. The US sees Africa as nothing. The whole West does.
But in the twenty-first century, we are witnessing the rise of China. We are decades away from China becoming the greatest power on earth. This will be China’s time, and there’s nothing anyone can do about it. Attack China all you want, curse her and monger rumours and hysteria - but the truth is that none of your accusations are backed up by evidence. The Western press is under the thumb of Western governments that want to stay on top of the world for eternity. And the truth is that China is not affected by the noise and maneuvers of her enemies.
For her first thirty years, from 1949 to 1979, China was basically blockaded and isolated economically and politically by the West. It didn’t even have a seat in the UN General Assembly. And it was dirt-poor in those days, barely a speck of the global economy, a tiny fraction of Japan’s or Germany’s GDP - not even able to prevent famine. And it still didn’t submit to pressure or take any orders. Why on earth would it do that now?
China will be the next global power. There’s nothing that can be done about that. The first stage is that its economy only needs to grow at 4.7 percent per year to become the world’s largest by 2035. That means the usual, historical bare-minimum of 6 percent is already overkill. The US can build as many bases as it wants, slap as many sanctions as it wants, recognise whatever bogus genocides it wants. That’s what it’s been doing all along. Has any of it made a difference? China can adapt to any situation. It took China a mere ten years to go from being barred by the US Congress from participating in the “International” Space Station, to building its own Space Station from zero.

I wonder why so many Chinese people come to the border, if that is the case.
If you haven't already, please read Edward Snowdon's book - ' Permanent Record' it is an eye opener. Poor Edward is being hounded like a rabbit for truth telling.
Thank you for drawing attention to these matters which are not covered by the popular press.
Good information...thanks
Excellent programme, and so factual. My interpretation of the anti China issue (which is based on over 77 years of first hand fact & knowledge) is that for many years, China was always seen as a backward country, one which didn't recognise patents and produced cheap copies of anything you can mention, to the world. Fortunately, it's working it's way out of that scenario now. However, when it comes to the positive side of things, no mention is made (by the US primarily) of the Chinese achievements in this world. Just in the US, the Chinese built the Western section of their Transcontinental railway. The most difficult part through the mountains from the West Coast through to the great deserts beyond. More recently, Chinese built the new Bay Bridge in SFO, underquoting almost a dozen other bidders, (who pulled out when they heard of the Chinese bid). That bridge was built under time & under budget, yet no plaudits are given to the Chinese who built it. In my country, (New Zealand) which is very much influenced by the US propaganda machine, Chinese were very involved in the mining of gold in the early years when no-one else wanted to do it. After WW2, many chinese were brought to this country to farm our market gardens, which they did so successfully, when no NZer wanted to do it. The list goes on. I think that today, the US has realised that China is smarter than they are in so many ways, that their position as (self appointed) world leader is under threat & the only way they can best overcome that, is by verbally denigrating them. President Trump did possibly the most damage with his constant China bashing while he was in power. And through the influence of US backed world media, we and other nations followed suit. Anyway, congratulations on a great posting. New subscriber..

Asian Americans play a significant role in US science and technology but are way under-represented in American politics. Many are leaving the US for places like Singapore and China. Anti-China hate is a bipartisan affair. Even the few Asian American representatives in Congress are too meek to pushback against the hate.
It's good for China if the Chinese return to China too bad for America because they lose all the talented people
You doing a great job
Our hearts go out to you all from the Global South and our unending support. Stay strong guys. Hatred which is evil in nature has no long term life. The Chinese people as I know have great resilience and will always surmount and come out smarter and stronger in the face of any types of injustice. God bless you all 🙏

CHINA IS NOT THE PROBLEM CHILD !
It's the so-called US think tank/politics/organisations, mass media and mostly ignorance of the masses. This applies to Australia, the lapdog.
they are not ignorant but rather paid henchman to serve their master hegemonic goals.

READ: “A History Of Central Banking And The Enslavement Of Mankind.”

Goodson also produced it as a documentary for RUclips.
Goodson explains in detail how the Central Banking family from Frankfurt conspired to control the global economy. From the Roman Empire to the Napoleonic Wars to modern times.

we are Asian in one Asian is our territory we support with China, because no territory nato, u.s. in asia and no our territory in u.s.
Thank you for sharing the state of affairs of American Chinese in the USA. Oppression by a so- called democratic country…laughable. I dread visiting USA as a tourist…
Brilliant program, I hope that its objective of promoting peace and friendly relationship between US and China is achieved. Unfortunately, the historical position of the hegemon that US holds precludes it from allow this to be the case as it sees China as its only rival to dethrone it.
I've noticed since 2020, so many Chinese Culture centers around this country have shut down, it's very sad, as they were community centers as well.
It also says so much that FARA is used to go after US nationals who want to make relationships between Chinese American community with Chinese consulate. There's been stuff in AAPI community going like "we're asian but we're also american!! we're american!!" trying to garner acceptance into wider American populace, but then there's this, right. You can't have relationships with other Chinese people, you're American, you're MINE, we own you, you're us, you're not them, if you have any relationship with actual people from your heritage land, you're a spy 🙃

Another great video, as we look forward to many more such pro China videos being created by other similarly well informed and committed youtubers !
Almost like the continuation of the Chinese Exclusion Act, us overseas Chinese with today 's ascendant Motherland emerging as an economic superpower and viewed as a perceived threat, we need to rally Together much better and faster knowing full well that it is Only by uniting as a stronger body can we hope to counter this constant and growing Asian hatred in the US and its allies.
That way , the defenseless persecuted victims can hope for some justice and compensation too, even ironically in a land that supposedly upholds freedom and equality!
Yes, Chinese / Asians' lives matter too !
In sharp contrast to the lengthy international uproar for George Floyd, the deafening silence and the very absence of any major demonstration condemning such repeated brutal and senseless racist murders on Asians are disheartening !
Thank you for this video.

The national security law does not mean HK has less freedom and democracy. Every country has national security laws. USA's laws are more draconian. UK's laws are more draconian. China's law is pretty mild by comparison.
HK should still be #1 for freedom and democracy.
There was an interesting video clip that put two pictures side by side of US Olympic athletes and Chinese. On one side are the US swimmers with purple faces. One of the US swimmers is an Asian American(possibly Chinese American) yet still with a purple face. While the other picture shows both Chinese swimmers without the purple face. Now the content creator of that video clip says that the purpuling of the face of the US swimmers. Is due to the use of performance drugs. Which the efforts of swimming causes the purpuling of the face. Now I don't know the facts of this claim of the content creator. But if it's true. Then it definitely answers who is the baddies of this whole China cheating projection narrative. As to the anti China BS ramped up by Trump and further antagonized by Biden and others. I remember clearly having people tell me to get the F out of their country. I also remember being asked by a white Dunkin Donuts employee, if I was legal. Along with other passive aggressive insinuations to open racist hostility. I am a naturalized Korean. Adopted when I was 7 years old. Therefore my name after adoption.
Latinos, Middle Easterners and Africans must also be aware of prosecution and harassment from our government. Sady, things have gotten worst as our economy fails its people and scapegoats are needed. Thank you for an excellent video - important and informative.
I write about semiconductor research - most these days comes out of China. And the research from the rest of the world (especially US) have author lists with about half of the names being from the Far East. If these researchers are benched thru concerns about their loyalty, the west will suffer a further fall-back in science and engineering. [I am sorry if this feeds into the STEM stereotyping of Asian people.]
Those people are 100% come from all over the world, they for got where they came from repect all the racists.
All Asian should arm up to protect yourselves and communities.

My 9 years old daughter, 10th birthday today 15 August, has been thinking how to infuse life on the moon surface, we’ve thought of rock lichens, polar bacteria and microscopic algae, thinking on how to trigger a biological process we know it would take millennia, hoping it can enrich the very thin lunar atmosphere to include oxygen enough for supporting forms of vegetation… eventually animals in a far away future. Life would have a better chance to endure and spread in the vast universe.

This happened in Australia as well. People who have been promoting relationship between students in universities and Chinese cultures were blackened as spying and coercion. Chinese people who work as lobbyists in Australian government promoting Chinese businesses and projects were suddenly seen as foreign agents (especially if they had prior or current membership in the CCP) and any Australian politician working with such people would be treated as traitor and defamed or lose their jobs. It was on a roll. Every week there was a TV feature on some Chinese spies. Front page news every alternate days. Australia got served with an ice cold shoulder from China but Australia got furious and humiliated. To this day the Foreign Minister is trying to renew the business deals and return trade to previous levels. This episode was frustrating but also laughable now that everyone saw the impact of that cold shoulder! Australia can't afford to fight China, but it's following its big brother US. When will Australia realize that US can't save them when things go bad?
CIA buys the press, the entire Western media, anti-china propaganda campaign is $500 millions a year.

Never thought Canadian Bacon would be so accurate. Its shameful that the history it was describing is repeating yet again.
I only come across Chinese nationals in online gaming , apart from amusing translation difficulties , it is clear that the Chinese as a whole are a friendly and proud of their achievements people without the resources and colonial robbery the west enjoyed . Year in year out for decades things have improved for the average person living in China and their positivity is catching . Personally i love the ebike components they export , brilliant stuff and great prices .
