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: czcams.com/video/C0YGLDafG1o/video.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.
Totally agree
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.
That's true

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

@@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. You are not welcome to our country!
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.

I've been to Xinjiang in 2013. The first minute I arrived there I was stunned by how many signs on the street were in Uyghur language. The banks, restaurants, post offices are all bilingual in Uyghur and han language. There were a lot of Uyghur restaurants on the street so I can order Uyghur traditional food like barbecue lamb and naan. The Uyghurs have there own house and store. As a Han Chinese it was a great experience for me to see different cultures.
Later I went to Winnipeg, Canada for work from 2016 to 2021. Canadians said Winnipeg is the city with the highest indigenous population. But during my five years there, I've never seen any indigenous languages signs on the street. I've never seen any indigenous people operating a restaurant or a grocery store so I couldn't try their food. The only time I saw indigenous characters was at the "Canadian museum of human rights". I have met many indigenous people in the city. Most of them were homeless or live in a slum while suffering from alcohol and drug abuse issues. Their life condition were much worse than the Uyghurs.
Therefore, with my experience I found the western governments and media are bunch of hypocrites and untrustworthy.
Correct me if I am wrong, I had a look at Canadian money (notes) And there's no representation for their minorities, same with USD. If you look at Chinese money, they have the Uighur language, Tibetan, and other dialects on the note.
The indigenous people of Canada have no written language. They had no written language when Europeans arrived.
a slap in the face, well said, brother, well said.
@@COCO-bl4ig The US has had several coins with images of native peoples, including the Sacagawea Golden Dollar and the penny. In addition, an older $5 bill had a native American depicted. Famous native Americans like Will Rogers, Red Cloud and others have been commemorated on US coins and stamps.
@@MrCarlGW tell me how many population left in USA and Canada. Do they still able to speak their ancestors language?
Lol....
It's funny because whenever a UN country proposes an investigation in the US, they get sanctioned.
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
well the statement is ture but not only apply to medias, it is ture on everyone, so is your suggestions
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...
@@ArtemisKitty Both apply to America and China
@@ArtemisKitty I can understand Chinese and subtitles are 99.8% accurate.
@@user-lg8gd8bl5i 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.
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

Best intro ever. Love it! It’s ALWAYS worth listening to people of another country no matter your preconceived notions about its government.
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.
That was a very stirring and inspiring intro Stephen! Love and appreciate what you guys do
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.
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 🏈

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 CZcams algorithm will suppress this video because it goes against the western propaganda.

@@jumpvelocity3953xinjiang is a hot travel place….
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.
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
I'd love to see an interview with uygher people if possible. I think their perspective would be interesting about the boycotts
After US boycotts the Xinjiang Cotton and products, the Uyghur people is more angry with US than Han. US really hurt the Uyghur's wallets.
@@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.
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.

@@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.
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.
then leave dawg

_"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 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.

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.
yes i agree about this one
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
It would be very difficult. Watch Vice’s undercover investigation on the Uyghur people.

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.
In times like these, the world needs people like you guys. Keep up the amazing work! 👍
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 CZcams 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 you got the point
@@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!

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 CZcams 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 CZcams 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.
That intro really hit me. I'm in a fdr with my partner still in China. What for others is either just memes or unrelatable global politics is the very future to me. Every time the West and China start provoking and pushing each other around, I just pray it's not going to actually have a lasting impact and that these tensions soon can start to relax again. People and government aren't aware what impact these things have on some of our lives. For us having connections that cross the fronts, it's just been a neverending gauntlet with no ending in sight...

As a British guy that moved to China three months ago that has been vlogging the journey, my thoughts are similar to some of the people in this video. China is thriving, it's people are enjoying a better and better quality of life. I couldn't walk the streets back home at 4am without at least having my guard up. Here in China, even in Shanghai, a city of over 25million people I feel 100% safe at all times.
Comments coming from china feel a bit rich don’t they? I know that you cannot really say anything against the C p while being in china
@@yadneshchaudhari4208 I mean I could, there’s nothing stopping me. I understand why you’d think that way though, because that’s what you’ve been continually told. I thought that way myself before I moved here 🤷♂️
@@yadneshchaudhari4208 it’s a funny feeling for me being a British citizen having only been exposed to Western media their entire life, to be now living in China and seeing what it’s really like. I can’t say one positive thing (not even to my friends back home) about China without it being second-guessed. So I understand why people online would think comments are fake, I guess it’s good to be cynical. But I’m being honest - I feel safer (much safer) walking through China at 4am than I do walking through London back home at midday
@@yadneshchaudhari4208 Also, if a Chinese citizen feels safe airing their thoughts about China to strangers on the street, like in the interview above, then why wouldn’t I feel safe as a British citizen giving my honest thoughts as a CZcams comment? Surely that alone is evidence that people can speak about China without fear of reprehension… something to think about perhaps
@@Harveyinchina look I’m not arguing that quality of life in china for normal Chinese person is getting better everyday. As far as I’m concerned, you might even be having a better life in china than the uk. But you cannot deny that china really is very secretive and is really good at lying to its people. The amounts of human rights violation by that CCP is insane. And no, I do not have to be in china to know that. Also, it’s completely fine to disagree with me. I’m not expecting you to agree with me in this comment section (that’s because you might get into trouble if you do so, for your own good) (yes, if the local police spikes suspicion on you, then they can spy on your profiles and accuse you for being anti china just because of this comment section, yes this has happened a lot of times)

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!

@@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.

From what I have seen and heard what we have here is the classic 'he said she said' situation.

News has come out that covid has the dna signature that is patented by Moderna…
China’s government is currently committing plenty of human rights violations. The boycott is because there are roughly one million Uyghur Muslims in concentration camps, where they are being forcefully worked, sterilized, and “re-educated”. This doesn’t even cover their treatment of Hong Kong, their censoring of the MeToo movement, and the thousands of journalists and doctors who have disappeared after criticizing the Chinese Government. The people in this video have been brainwashed because all their news comes from the government.
@@lornam1142 your claim of "one million uyghur muslims in concentration camps" is false. if ccp is really committing genocide, why the hell did they exempt minorities like uyghurs from the one child policy until recently? if there is genocide, why haven't the chinese population started any riots? those concentration camps are for terrorists. does that ring a bell? probably not, because the west has intentionally overlooked the terrorists that entered china through xinjiang.
where is your proof for "thousands of journalists and doctors who have disappeared after criticizing the chinese government?" they are definitely alive and well.

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.

@@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 CZcams, 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.
From Canada, thank you Asian Boss. It's sources like you that I turn to for authenticity and an objective finger on the pulse of the people. Here in Canada, trust in our leaders and certainly our media are weak. It's a shame that we now find ourselves outsourcing our information for a more accurate view of what's really going on.
Keep up your great work please👍
This is awesome Adian Boss!!! Getting people's true thoughts on serious matters.
thank you Asian boss for all your hard work
I also just want to point out the question at 16:07
China did invite the UN and even the EU to Xinjiang to investigate.
But the UK (or was it US) demanded "unfettered access" to the country which is completely nonsensical. No country would ever accept to let other countries have "unfettered access" to theirs own.
Just recently China invited the UN to come to Xinjiang again after the Olympics, while the EU says "they need preparations".
I don't think it's true to just say that China refused the investigation when they've even allowed the biased media like CNN and BBC into their vocational schools that the Western media dubbed "concentration camp".
This reply shall be pinned on top to compliment additional justice to the interview.
They thought PRC is ROC lol, they want us to be like them to announce same demand to them so they can accusing us trying to interact their affairs.
If they have nothing to hide, why would they not want to quell all the rumours by allowing unfettered access. A bit like when WHO went to investigate the wuhan lab and were given a guided tour and told what they were to report.
@@allomony4010 Because China is a sovereign country, and no sovereign nations will ever willingly grant another country complete open access that ignores its own laws and regulations. It is for a similar reason that the US would also not grant Russia unfettered access to, say, Texas if the Russians had some accusations or claims about Texas that Americans think is untrue.
@@auburntiger6829 Of course I get that. But unfortunately that's why the lies, innuendos and falsehoods remain. it just a matter of which side of lying and unfetted access would resolve the issue. Unless of course you have something to hide.
Bravo Stephen, your message couldn't be clearer about your mission and goals of Asian Boss. I wish great success to your team in 2022 and congratulate you for your hard work !!!

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.
I don't know, I do know Muslim countries(that aren't even Chinese allies) went there and said there are no abuses
@A how can such a blatand misrepresentation of reality have 12 upvotes?
@@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.
@@mikimosky4109 Sounds like you're just in denial.
I haven’t even watched the part of actual street interview, but already hit by Stephen’s introduction - so true and well said! Love Asian Boss!
Same intro to every vid since first backlash.
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.

@spicygal red pepper after getting fed daily propaganda you'll always think you're right. But in reality you're just another sheep
As a Chinese who currently lives in Shanghai, I would say such results are not surprising at all. Stop saying that Chinese people are afraid to speak the truth because of the censorship of the Communist Party. In fact, the vast majority of Chinese people are very much in agreement with the Communist Party and are very patriotic. You could say that China has done a great job of patriotic education since 1989, as demonstrated in William A. Callahan's China: The Pessoptimist Nation. But even without the Communist Party, the Chinese would probably be just as patriotic. This is because such patriotism or nationalism flourished 100 years ago already when the Kuomintang ruled China - a narrative closely related to the Chinese people's ”hundred years of national humiliation“.
But as for Xinjiang, my position is that I don't trust either Chinese or Western news reports. I did read on the Internet that some ethnic minorities in Xinjiang mentioned that they are often subject to various kinds of censorship and surveillance, and generally speaking these people are dissidents. The Chinese Communist Party has always seen stability as the most important factor in maintaining the country, especially in ethnic minority areas. So that's not a surprise. But you'd probably be unfair to say that the CCP is committing genocide against ethnic minorities.
China's ethnic minorities are in one sense discriminated against because they are treated as "singing and dancing peoples" to be watched at various national events. But in other senses, they are respected, and China has some preferential policies for ethnic minorities. This is actually somewhat similar to the colonialists' transformation of the indigenous people.
Of course, in this process of assimilation, there were actually more complications than the outright erasure of minority cultures - some minorities organically combined their own culture with that of the Han Chinese, giving rise to a new culture. This is why I think this was not a massacre or complete assimilation against the minorities.
I also saw some comments that the Chinese were very racist like the video exemplifies. I wish I could defend myself on this issue, most Chinese are not, especially if you can recall that Shanghai used to take in a lot of Jews refugees during World War II - a time when many low-income citizens in Shanghai had to deal not only with the crowding of resources brought by these refugees, but also with the Japanese They were even worse off than these Jews, but they still did not envy or reject them. At the same time, I would like to remind some people that Chinese people have received white supremacist discrimination overseas along with other people of color. However, I find that some people try to distinguish Chinese people from other people of color by portraying them as racist, so as to maintain their white supremacy by creating conflicts in people of color. I wish you would learn more about Chinese people before commenting, and please don't show your arrogant attitude on the internet.
🥱
this is actually quite well written and insightful thank you
The CCP is a notorious censor of the internet and news media. They only tolerate subjects that cast them in a good light so it's no wonder that people don't hear about human rights violations as a result of CCP activity. A perfect example is tennis player Peng Shuai saying she was sexually assaulted by that official - the post on Weibo was almost immediately deleted and Peng was forced to go on this fake PR tour saying that she didn't mean what she said. We all know what is going here. I'm all for being patriotic for your country - I am of mine, the problem is when your patriotism turns into nationalism at all costs. When you begin to make excuses for an extremely corrupt government (CCP officials aren't elected, their fathers know a person who knows a person, and when they commit crimes they are swept under the rug) and begin to obfuscate what is really going on within your own borders. Another example: the CCP warned the doctors that first broke the news of the Corona virus to pipe down since it was making China look bad on the world stage - now look at what the virus has done to the world. I have unlimited respect for the Chinese people, however I have no respect for the CCP and it's deceptive facade.
Ok
I wish people paid this much attention to others when they want to get along. I don't know why China's become such a hot topic of discussion seemingly out of nowhere. When I was growing up, I never watched the news, but never did I hear anything too brutal of China and her people. Other than declares of war and what's goin on with the other Asian countries, what the heck has changed so much that all foreign people seemingly do nowadays is talk about China?
You guys do have some guts! Great salute to Asian Boss team
What guts…
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

Fantastic work Asian Boss. Thank you for being impartial on all the controversial issues. How I wish I could be interviewed by your team one day! I live in Shanghai and I'm glad to offer help if you need any.
Dear Asian Boss,
Amazing introduction.
I'm so glad I found this channel last year. Your content often gets saved in my "the real deals" playlist. Keep going, doing what you can. I appreciate it. I hope we can thrive in peace.
You are right. And I think we need more reporters like you, and less of the things that are bailed out yet unpopular. I thank you for sharing your experiences. It's hard when you stand firm in the middle and the straight path, as both sides around you will sometimes see you as enemy, other times see you as a comrade.
I don't wanna fight. I want to have BBQ and rice together. Seriously.
And apart from the message, you do very enjoyable and professional looking videos, too.
Sincerely game on,
-A mixed race indigenous Canadian.
Just so your aware, this a CCP run propaganda channel
@@mrgummygod It's most definitely not! This channel is not run by any State nor any Country!
@@lenitaa7938 you need a licence from the CCP to do interviews like this and the CCP must approve each video, it's incredibly illegal otherwise. And with how big this channel is I can positively assure you the CCP is aware and controlling it's content. Positively scripted. That's the unfortunate reality, and with this channels reach it has proved to be a fantastic tool for creating propaganda for the west to see.
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'.
Hope everyone is able to warm & healthy over this winter season. Always appreciative of these interviews!
Shanghai in fact cannot represent the whole opinion of China, I hope AB could do more interview in more small cities or rural areas.
No big differences. I am very sure as I have been to some tier 3 or 4 cities in China at the peak time of the trade war with the US and before the pandemic outbreak, talking with quite a few people around there about the ongoing trade war. People reacted almost the same way as against the US even though on a different topic.
The opening was very passionate, thank you very much. Each time I look in the comment section I get so enraged lmao
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.

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.
The Western people are like "flat earthers". You cant change their mind.

I'm watching the Closing Ceremony of these Olympics right now. Couldn't care less about 'frendship between countries'. Friendship and the sense of unity between citizens of the countries from all around the globe - coming from different cultures, geopolitics, belief systems etc - that's what matters to me the most. I won't deny I am easily moved by those kind of things - oh well, I've been told numerous times these are unrealistic leftist views/expectations. This doesn't mean I am blind nor oblivious to any acts of discrimination. Which, as pointed out, happen all around the world since the very beginnings of civilizations. I choose to look beyond the divide.
Lots of love for Chinese brothers, sisters and whole Asian Boss community ❤
The Chinese are actively committing an ethnic cleansing in the Xinjiang region and they have some of the worst ultra-nationalistic and racist views in the world, but sure, let's all hold hands and sing Kumbaya! 👍
But let's not equivocate "discrimination happening around the world" with straight up violating human rights. Treating discrimination against black people in the US versus sending people to "re-education camps" with constant surveillance in Xinjiang is completely different.
@@tymiller176 Just a quick mention that I've not seen too many clear-cut instances of discrimination against Black people, just police interactions that went wrong for so many different reasons, to the point where police can't even do its job anymore due to those severely unsubstantiated accusations of discrimination.
And I also find it quite ironic that China accuses the USA of discrimination, while the Chinese themselves are openly racist against every foreigner!
@@suspendedtwice4sayingrasis261 As a black man, I can absolutely attest to the discrimination the public gives, unfortunately though. It happens and it's everywhere.
@@tymiller176 I suggest you pay China a visit, you might appreciate the discrimination in the US a bit more after it. 😄😁
Such a well made video and the intro really spoke to me.
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."
the young people just young girls.....
This is China. Unless you’re recruited into the party, you have almost no license for political activity.
It's irrelevant for Chinese people to care about politics since they live in a fascist dictatorship.
Damn, I’m excited to see how this goes. I hope journalism like this can soldier on, it’s interesting, and can feel slightly risky.

truly appreciate about your work and ethutic interviews! now it`s becoming even more challenge to hear the true voice from each side (east vs. west) and ppl should eventually realize that we`re living in the same world
That was the best introduction to any video I have ever seen on CZcams 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.
@@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.

@Straight facts😱 come on, Peng Shuai is very well at her home in Beijing . You are blinded not to hear the truth. Just go to goggle for the truth if you are not blinded.
@Straight facts😱 Peng Shuai is in Beijing and there are CZcams videos about her explaining the whole issue after the accusation.

@@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.
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.
I can legitimately tell he is mad at people's comment on CZcams. Lol
@@junsun7230 I mean, i would too if i'm working hard to be unbiased as possible but some r-tards accusing me for being CCP mouthpiece
@@lil_jong-un6668 anyone friendly to China is a ccp bot or wumao and is brainwashed. Little do they know they are the ones being brainwashed by those anti china mainstream media. sheep's life xD
@@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?
I just wanna say THANK YOU. I love the Asian Boss Channel & appreciate your work a lot!!! Remember that the people who have something negativ to say are the loudest (most of the time) I hope you never stop making these videos, because you show us different perspectives and I`m here for it! 💕 We have all individuell thoughts and opinions and it isn´t often "black & white" (what a strange saying...) like the mainstream media sometimes present us things...
I hope I got my point across, english is not my first language, but I think you understand what I wanted to say!
THANK YOU & now I watch the video :)
Appreciate what you are doing!
