- In this China vlog about living in Beijing as a foreigner, these are my reflections after visiting Urumqi in Xinjiang. I experience the Uyghur Autonomous Region Museum, the People's Park, and various other locations, including ethnic dancing in the civic square.

A vast number of people here keep talking about the lies of western media, etc, but people can read the United Nations human rights commissioners report on xinjiang directly. It’s only 200 pages.
United Nations…😂
@@ForAllLifesAdventures as usual, you are unable to offer a cogent argument.
@@ForAllLifesAdventures yes, United Nations, of which China is a member, and whose human rights commissioner china had invited to come to xinjiang to conduct an investigation.
@@ForAllLifesAdventures you asked me to provide non-flimsy evidence about the situation in xinjiang. I pointed you to a 200 report filled with footnotes and references written by the United Nations human rights commissioner, which was written after a personal visit to that province. You refuse to read a word of it and your only response is “United Nations”, followed by an emoji. Sounds like you have made up your mind not to take in any information that contradicts your beliefs.
And who controls the UN? The fear of US sanctions if you stray from the U.S. agenda
I was in Xinjiang for 14 days in March this year and I made a round trip by van for a total of 4,000km in Northern Xinjiang starting from Urumqi to the Altai Mountain area, Turpan, Karamay, Sayram lake and more. I enjoyed the trip very much and I cannot find any concentration camp or mass graves of genocide victims. Rather I encountered a lot of very friendly and warm people in Xinjiang. God damn all the western media for their lies. Especially BBC and ASPI the lackey of U.S.A.
Thank you for adding your incredible insights and I am so jealous of your journey. Amazing trip 👍
Happy holidays! Did you look? God damn people like you with your childish attitudes and immaturity.
我从来没听说过种族灭绝还要给少数民族很多政策和福利。也从没听说过种族灭绝这个民族的人越来越多。。抹黑新疆种族灭绝的原因就是 一带一路的起点 美国要破坏中国的一带一路。要引发中国内乱甚至内战，然后进来抄底中国优质资产，分裂中国领土，颠覆中共政权扶持一个美国控制的政权不断吸中国人民的劳动成果。这就是真相。。

@@arthurlincoln9093 that has never happened to me.., but I can tell you about using my passport to travel and book into hotels in the west and using my credit card to confirm my stay and set aside a possible spend….
That’s how dumb you are, everything is being tracked, everything… but you being you (the dumbest person to leave comments on my videos) doesn’t get that.
My friend, you are delusional and given that you are obviously an establishment plant…. or a wee boy in your mother’s basement hacking away on your keyboard like a little neb, then I would have thought, you would have known how easy it is to be tracked.
But nope. There you are… sheeplike in your commitment to something that would wash you away in an instance.

“Controversial” can be a misleading adjective, “most lied about” may be more accurate.
Yes, for example, many Chinese and Panderbears lie about some imaginary thing called 'The West' accusing China PRC of Genocide. Nobody has accused them of Genocide.
Thanks, great feedback. I did ponder on that and may change it - I did want more people to click into the video that would typically ignore the video and I wanted that so more people could learn a deeper understanding of the area. I do get your point though. good feedback. Thank you.
Well said. I get Iain's point totally though
@@ForAllLifesAdventuresYou could easily have gone for more provocative titles to achieved your objective. e.g. Thoughts after visiting China’s forced labour region. I have seen youtubers pander to those anti-China audience hoping to enlighten them with such provocative titles.
But beware of the nasty remarks in your comments section if you use such titles.
JUST one insignificant lie of the reptoid in the WEST.
As long as you personally go to Xinjiang, anywhere in China, you will find how outrageous the reports about China you see in Western media are! China is a very safe, beautiful, and technologically advanced country!

I was sharing what I experience and some insight into the research I did... and it debunks a lot of what I was told via the media in the west...
Yes the UN report and leaked police files show how much of a disgrace forced camps are.

Please note that the the West lack creativity on how to accuse others.
They accused the things in China were all crimes they had once committed or are being committed.
Because they have obtained a lot of wealth and resources through cruel means such as plunder, killing, colonial and racial extinction.
China can develop without relying on these brutal methods, which is what they are most unacceptable.
I was left with some very deep thoughts and reflections from the trip to Xinjiang. It slowed me down… I will get back to sharing more of china but I had to pass comment on what a great city Urumqi was and how much i enjoyed the trip.
Thank you for sharing 🙏

Very well said. Peace and development instead of violence and destruction.
In the meantime Blinken still saying Uyghur genoc***. That guy is so shameless.
Due process and no forced camps. Are you sick?

Thanks Iain for showing us the real Xinjiang. It's a beautiful place to visit, no doubt. The western lies actually makes me wanting to spend my money traveling there in support of Xinjiang's tourism. And, yes, I will choose to buy Xinjiang cotton products over others.
I recommend it, I loved the city. It was fascinating and the food, culture and music was magical.
This season is the most beautiful time in Xinjiang, but I advise you not to come now, because May 1 is a labor holiday in China, and during these seven days and some time after, you will not see any scenery except people.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@yingxu7908 You are a complete imbecile.
@@yingxu7908 I don’t agree with the U.K. government polices - but I haven’t been oppressed, just not given the full picture or accurate information because the government doesn’t represent the people… and currently has an approval rating of 20%
Great video, especially for the Xinjiang tourist industry.
There is no Oppression in Xinjiang from Beijing. What the videos show us who watch your videos is that Xinjiang is stronger for being part of China & China is stronger for having Xinjiang.
I am sharing what I see, experience and my reflections and I recommend everyone that can go, to go and experience a wonderful area and city. I loved it.
Yes oppression is in Xinjiang you absolute disgrace to humanity,So no due process and being forced into camps isn’t oppression?
I cannot say no , but it is not that horrible like what western media say , discrimination and prejudice exist in China like in many countries but in general, Xinjiang and Uyghur people are having ok life in China compare to many minorities in other part of the world !

It is difficult to persist, but in the end, the real truth will win.
@@hwahwa2008 and that my wee friend. Is the truest word you have ever said… the truth will come out!! I hope we can meet up in Beijing or China… and discuss further?
I visited china in 2008 and fell in love with the people and the country. They where already a head of the west in many ways then., especially in social issues.
It has changed a lot since then and it keeps pushing further advances - it has its challenges, but I can see that there are other ways to live as a society and not just the western way. 👍
Thanks for sharing the fact Bro
Thanks for watching and for taking the time to leave the encouraging comment - very much appreciated.
Conrad Hotel. It is an American brand isn't it? Shouldn't the US Congress investigate the hotel for forced labor?
Haha good one
It is that, it is a brand from the Hilton Hotel empire.

Thank you for showing everyone outside of China the cultural diversity of my homeland. I wished more people would go to visit as many countries as possible to learn about one another as the world would be a better place and less likely of brainwashing from western media.

@@ForAllLifesAdventures It's been increased to USD$380 million now - last I heard,
Very enlightening, I would love to visit and see that region for myself.Good narrative.
I would recommend a trip to see and experience it for yourself.
Welcome to Xinjiang! I might say some things not so nice towards the West. If anyone minds, please do not continue reading. I am a Chinese studying in the West, and there's a lot of truth in the saying that one should see things in person. From a young age, we were taught that Western countries are economically developed and technologically advanced, so it's natural to assume that their lives are much better than ours in China. However, experiencing it firsthand, I saw how homelessness, drugs, and immigration issues severely damage social justice and order in the West. The foundations of society such as safety, order, and fairness are not ensured, the government operates inefficiently. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, my perceptions of developed countries would have been hard to change, too.
For every other country outside of the West, you'll only see the good stuff in the West.
For every country outside the West, they (the West) will only see the bad stuff.
So yes. It's important to see it yourself in person.
A great insight… thank you 🙏
Top nations globally for safety are all western. More homelessness in China than US and EU combined. 1.77 million.
Do you mean US?
Very good points.
I really hope there will be more ppl like you, we need truth not propaganda
I think more and more people see through the clouds 👍
This is pure one sided propaganda, and proves nothing. Treatment of these people was and is oppressive. That’s a fact. Camps are oppressive. They are sick, You are clearly sick with no regard for human rights. Under the Geneva convention its other countries rights to call it a disgrace.
There have been many terrorist attacks in Xinjiang before, which is why the control in Xinjiang is stricter. As a Chinese, I have been taught since I was a child that "all ethnic groups are one family", and I also like to travel to Xinjiang, it is a beautiful place. So when I heard about the so-called "genocide" in Xinjiang, I didn't believe it at all. In addition, China has many preferential policies for ethnic minorities, such as extra points for ethnic minorities in the college entrance examination. As a Han Chinese, I have always envied it.
In addition, religion is free in China. There are many mosques in Xinjiang. Even in Beijing and Shanghai, you can see many halal restaurants.
Yep, 👍 I now know that what is delivered in the western media is not accurate at all.
@@ForAllLifesAdventuresmaybe one day be specific. Tell us articles to read that are false.
@@BinyiHao One of the biggest mosques in the world is in China.
And they were always allowed to have more children to boost their population whilst Han families were only allowed to have one child.
Thank you for your video, as an international student from Xinjiang now in a US college, your understanding and words are objective and true about my hometown.
Thank you for taking the time to watch the video and for your comment. It has helped me realise that trying to add some context to the situation from my experience on the ground is the right thing to do. 🙏
Thanks Ian for not only the video, but for reminding us of what is really important!❤
I absolutely agree - the most important thing is to fight for our communities and our PEACE.
Tourism is more important than human rights?
Hope and prosperity reign over Xinjiang, part of the People's Republic of China.
I think it is the only way to tackle the challenges in that area (and other areas like it) - HOPE and PROSPERITY.
Thanks Ian. Good video. People have to realize how far Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region has come in the last 1/2 century. In 1981 Xinjiang was one of the poorest regions of one of the poorest countries in the world with a GDP/capita of 450rmb (about $200US in 1981$), 50yrs later, Xinjiang's GDP per capita was $68,600rmb (about US$9,500).
Contrast that with Xinjiang's next-door neighbor, Afghanistan. In 1981, the US CIA was already pumping $millions of dollars & weapons to the Mujahideen forces in Afghanistan, a country with a GDP/capita then of US$312. 50yrs later in 2021, when US forces finally fully withdrew from Afghanistan, their GDP/capita was only US$356.
Thank you John, an excellent comparison 👍
SHAME
How much money does the central government pump into the province every year?
Fascinating video and also some lovely camera work!
Thanks for watching and the comment Marcus. I hope you are doing good and I hope the flooding didn't affect you too much.
Am planning to visit Urumqi. Thanks for some tips
I hope you enjoy it as much as what I did, I loved the city.
Ian, I failed to mention…really great video. Very different from your usual, and getting many interested as you are pointing out the flaws in the mainstream media!!! Keep up the good work!
Thank you, I had to take some time to reflect on the trip differently as I so enjoyed the city. 👍
lovely thoughts and perspectives. if we have more people like you, open minded and curious about the world, more people wouldn't be scared into conflict. I can't speak for your country but I can tell you from what I can see here in the us, corporations have hijacked american democracy and policy is pushed for their benefit. just recently, 95 billion was approved to fund the continued 'war for peace and justice' in various parts of the world. if you been to downtown areas in pretty much any major city in the usa, that kind of money would go a long way domestically. the sad part is we have no say because both parties are owned by interest groups so there is no lesser evil choice.
Yeah, I don’t get the American way now and I will possibly do a comment video on the money interest and what it’s doing to America!!
I am glad that you are the one of the few could see the picture from a well observer's eye. The history, the geographic location make this region more vulnerable to the ill intention people. China is not perfect by all means, but it is working towards a better place for all inhabitants of this region. May be the improvement is inching forward to some, nevertheless, a long journey has been beginning; hopefully one day we all get there!
Thank you, I would rather seek to understand more than just accept the simple narrative that is ‘given’
China is the heaven for those who love peace and safe.
It is very peaceful ☺️
Pretty safe . But still over 6000 yearly murders, forced camps(evil), endless paedophiles, scams everywhere, yearly large mass stabbings…….
Ok, and over 5 million modern day slaves

One question is, have you had experieneces with your own family or friends where you have to enlighten them to the truth and how difficult was it?

That’s what I seen - people enjoying themselves in many ways!!
Why are Uighurs always dancing in the Han Chinese imagination? Why aren’t they ever studying or reading the Koran?
Xinjiang is almost 3 times the size of Ukraine.
It's massive.The area is varied with many cultures sharing this cross roads
And it has historically been connected with China since Han times before Christ.
Most western critics see the nation state as ethnocentric where bc of its size and despite its Han majority, China sees itself as multiethnic emphasizing a shared historical relation rather than as an ethnocentric state
This is exemplified in clear language representation of minorities as in Xinjiang.
Contrast say a similar size country like the US where everything is in English. Spanish is not even taught as a second language despite the obvious size of the population, never mind representation of the original natives.
UK people should understand this. Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales in theory (according to West propaganda) should have a cause for independence.
The double standards of US narrative is for the mentally ill...complaining about a mythical Xinjiang Gnocide whilst abetting Gaza. Sick.
Aye independence is always "encouraged" in other countries , if oil & resource rich Alaska were to call for independence let's see how magnanimous US will be.

If anyone remembers the old ASPI report, just go look at the map they used for Xinjiang (and the rest of the world lol). It's all colored in drab brown or dull olive, ostensibly to give that gloomy oppressive atmosphere. Go on google map and voila, you have snow capped mountains, green valleys and the various shades of agricultural plots. But it's all brown on ASPI's map.
And they will want you to believe that China builds detention camps, in full view of towering condominiums, and next to massive private villas owned by Urumqi citizens. Oh and the detention camp is filled with cars. Does no one play simcity anymore?
p/s: They still have a link to the so called Xinjiang Police Files, you know the one that claims Chow Yun Fatt and Andy Lau were Xinjiang police in cahoots. (They are megastars in the Chinese music and movie industry)
Genocide backed CNN also shown a map of a small town in Guangdong Province where they had also mis-identified as Xinjiang a few years back as a hit piece.
Yeah, so much disinformation that just doesn’t make sense and some of it is so flimsy under scrutiny 🧐
@@ForAllLifesAdventures Exactly. Its fine if one or two points are not accurate. But if you could poke holes in every single claim they are pushing, that tells you a lot about the credibility of the accusations.
Sadly, many are taken up in the rhetoric and would rather let their irrational hate/racism take over the wheel. On a darker note, Palestinian would kill and let themselves be killed to enjoy even 10% of what the Xinjiangers got.
So what you really object to is the color scheme, not the actual content? Which detention camp is filled with cars? Many of the 385 detention camps in the report are in remote areas. Also you are confusing two different files, the one containing hk actors are released by a group known as Xinjiang victims database. The Xinjiang leaked police files contain information about the victims.
Xinjiang looks very different from Gaza. If there isn't a genocide going on in Gaza, then the West really have to try way harder to convince the world there's even such a thing happening in Xinjiang.
They own the media platforms except Tiktok😂

Great video! Many thanks for showing us the truth
Thank you for watching and for the comment 👍
welcome to here, my buddy
Thank you, I loved it. 👍
Urumqi is not really reflective of most of Xinjiang or Uighur because it geographically is abit "wetter" than most of the region and allow a more urbanised society. check out the basin to see "older" Xinjiang indeed.
Turk nationalism is originally promote by Russia during the great game to try and annex chinese territory, then when PRC was founded, Russia ended support for it. it was however pick up by Turkey as they still dream of pan Turk nationalism, and obviously this raise alarm in alot of countries because there is alot of states between China and Turkey, so everyone is like asking what up with that, is Turkey going to go mongol on central asia? it is only a recent thing that English media repurpose those old propaganda to create a narrative.
the issue is of course more complex. what should be noted is the old nationalist movement occur only in a very small part of Xinjiang, they do not dispute the whole of Xinjiang because Xinjiang is a chinese concept and alot of Xinjiang is not Turk majority, they are going interested in their own area. so it is very easy to spot people who don't understand the turk nationalism, if they just use the Xinjiang map it means they don't understand nor care about that the issue really is, they are "fake crusaders" who are clueless. personally i don't think it even worth the time to entertain them seriously if they don't understand what the actual disputed region is.
why English media has a sudden interest I feel is because of the failure of Afghanistan, failing to flip Afghanistan over to NATO means Central Asia is now open to China, so they are trying to create hate between the muslim and chinese to prevent cooperation. but while their propaganda may work at home, it is rejected by most muslim states, it is unlikely that the english media have enough influence to torpedo the new silk road. its just too obivious what they say is not true.
Than you for an awesome comment and for adding clarity and insight. I learned for your comment and that I the one thing I am always trying to do. ✌️
So called Western media has a so called sudden interest in XJ because there is a cultural genocide happening there on a scale not seen since WW2.
Politics is extremely complex and sometimes its difficult to really reach a simple verdict of who is right or who is wrong. From my non partisan Asian point of view, if you compared Urumqi, Kashgar and a few other cities like Hotan to what it was in the 1960s , you will see a drastic change. The standard of living has been dramatically improved in terms of education, transport and hygiene. Has the region been forcefully Sinicized? Yes, I would think so but it was since the Qing dynasty & well before the CCP came to power. Even if ROC were in power today , the situation is still likely the same. Is it any worse than US occupation of Philippines? I don't think so. Xinjiang GDP is 244 billion USD (~26 million people) in 2022 vs Philippines 404 billion (115 million people). GDP/Capita Xinjiang 9385 vs Philippines 3513. There are still a lot of poor kids in Manilla running on roads selling stuff and plenty of mestizo adults fathered by runaway American GI fathers. With change comes difficulty, there will always be fundamentalists & traditionalists who want to hold on to their own tribal power at the expense of improving life for their own people. Do not mistake them as martyrs. How is leaving the native Americans living in poverty a good thing? As an Asian I truly believe in tough love, true statesmen improve the quality of their people and better their lives.
Thanks for your insightful and comparable comment. It has added more context to the discussion 👍
讲的非常好，你是正义的
Thank you for watching and to take the time to leave the kind comment - comments like yours are always motivating, thank you. 🙏
Law and order, safety for citizens is paramount. Multiple stabbings today in North East London, shoplifting decriminalised for under £200 in UK! Can you check in China what happens to shoplifters??
Shoplifters are jailed, fined and often bring shame to their families and community…
新疆人挣钱可不少，少数民族一直是被保护的
No , not always. That’s a blatant lie. Treatment of many has been horrific

Xinjiang folk musics,so great.
Cool video, I am from Shanghai (6gen), but according to my family book, my ancestors came from Persia during Tang dynasty. They were stationed in modern day Xinjiang against Arab Muslim invasion. I guess they must have done a pretty good job, and they were awarded with governorship of Ningbo, an ancient city majority of Shanghainese originally came from.
Thank you for watching and for leaving the comment… it is a very interesting Region to explore and to trace back all the activities that happened along the trade routes etc. 👍
Xinjiang, Xizang, Inner Mongolia, Guangxi and Ningxia are all "autonomous regions" rather than ordinary "provinces".
Ordinary people are more concerned about their quality of life than about grand historical power struggles.
After independence, the ruling class can gain greater power, but ordinary people may not necessarily live a happier and more prosperous life. If Xinjiang had developed independently from China since the second half of the last century, it would only be a large country like Kazakhstan or Mongolia today at most.
In history, China's borders were separated due to the decline of the central government, but not today.
It's ridiculous to compare Xinjiang with Palestine,
👍
Agreed, seems some of the supposedly rock solid things taught or popularised might not be what it seemed after all... Quite shocking once ones eyes open to reality.
Once you open your eyes and see, it cannot be unseen. 😬

Well said!
Iain, correct me if I am wrong, but are you saying the Kunming attack was not reported back in the UK? It was, as was May 22nd market attack, likewise the Urumqi train station incident & the big one of 2009.
Yeah. It was reported.
When I was in China 20 years ago, there was a huge push to develop Western China. Seems that he's seeing the fruits of that massive investment.
Development is good 👍
14 years in China have visited this area many times, the only genocide I have seen is in GAZZA. Cheers for the VID
It is a great area to visit 👍
In fact, I see my government work their ass off helping Xinjiang develop the tourism and industry, only prosperity can solve terrorism. I've always been disappointed with Western's news narratives.
I see that too… 👍
Actually Turkic tribes span from Xinjiang to modern Turkey. Modern day Turkish people look European due to migration, immigration and conquests. Turkish refers to the modern population of Turkey and Turkic refers to the tribal migration group. Original Turkic people looked like the people you see in Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Central Asia, Xinjiang etc. The ancient Turkish population would have been apart of this migration group before looking more European. This is just in response to the comment about Spanish people leaving. It was the Turkish that left. But I love this video, thanks for visitinf Xinjiang.
Thank you for giving me more insight, I really appreciate all the help and information I can get - always trying to learn ✌️ thanks for watching 👍
Xinjiang is in much worst state than Gaza from America's viewpoint 😂
It is an odd view they have…
A key golden gateway for China's belt & road initiative. Bringing peace prosperity to Xinjiang Uyghur automonous region & the rest of Eurasia as well. A major threat & fear for US hegemony.
👍

Thank you for taking the time to watch and for leaving the comment ❤️
Xinjiang is not a controversial area in China. It's just one of the unfortunate victims of western lies.
I agree… I have it that title to lure people in to discover that too. 👍
It's real name is "East Turkestan", and it's not a part of China! If you don't believe me, ask the Uyghurs and Tibetans!
it belongs to India, you liar@@sekainohana
@sekainohana It's real name is xiyu
The west thinks Xinjiang got no terrorism,drug addicts and criminals,any jail for criminals under this category was presumed to be genocidal 😂
As if over1 million were terrorists. You’re also a disgrace. Most were innocent . Read the UN report and police files. Sick
Mass forced abortions are………
You are a disgrace . How dare you say all those in the camps were those types of people.
Yeah, that is insightful and true. 👌
16:06 the fact that you can just recite these figures is amazing. Did you memorize them?
Aye
Ok, if you say so.

Welcome to China and thank you for debunking the Western lies! The world deserves the truth!
In China, you don’t have the Freedom to criticize CCP. Other than that, you have a greater degree of Freedom to talk about anything openly without worry being cancelled. No activist will jump you if you prefer to hangout with your own color. You have the freedom to drink beer on the street, freedom to walk in the park after dusk, freedom to drive an e-scooter without license nor helmet, freedom to defend your property.
Actulay yes chinese can critisize their Gov ,thats how things get improved 😂
You can criticize CCP, but
①not overtly. For example you can do that on Wechat(Whatsapp in china). But if you make a video and publish it on Bilibili(youtube in China), it may be deleted. (While mild/satirical criticism is ubiquitous)
②you are not supposed to be a public figure. If you are a celebrity (especially working for government or government-led institutions), you may get fired.
In u.s., you can't criticize united states of I s r e a l.
@@WANDERER0070 CCP controls the GOV. It’s life-threatening if you talk bad about CCP. CCP is the biggest Mafia of all time. Sometime, Mafia rules a nation way better than a woke liberal GOV.
@@andrewlim7751 In america, you can criticize all you want but nobody's listening. They just let you march, shout and destroy property all you want to make you feel good thinking you are doing something, and when everything dies down, they do their thing anyway.

Always remember rumours, lies n propaganda r carried by haters, spread by fools n accepted by idiots
Oppression in this region is a fact . You….
Stop whining, baby.
Yes idiots. Like all the people on here defending no due process and children being forced from home into camps. Sick
I would like to visit one of the "cultural " centres in Xinjiang. Just provide me any contact data.

Thks for debunking the lies about Xinjiang
Thanks for watching the video and for leaving the comment.
Perhaps to reminding your readers that Tsarist Russia attempted to annex Xinjiang into their empire while The British invaded Tibet after consolidated their their rule over India as their Colony!
Thanks for more insight 👍
Really buddy, make sure you stay safe when you get back to the UK as your on the ground reporting on Xinjiang rips apart the whole western lie. And the reality of the ongoing Palestinian genocide they turn a blind eye to, the shameless double standard is sickening!
Yeah, I can imagine my view wouldn’t be popular with some who have things to hide!! ✌️
