3 Unbelievable truth about China: 1 Ethnic minority in China can have multiple children while the han nation had one child policy(now two children policy). 2 Ethnic minorities can have 5 to15 additional points to their university entrance exam while han nation doesn't have. It means with the same exam note, Ethnic minority can go to a better university(you should hear about the competition of Chinese Gaokao). 3 Even Muslim account for only 0.8% of chinese population, EVERY university over China is MANDATORY to have a Muslim restaurant offering non porc, halal meals.
what most people don't realize is that Urumchi is not Uighur land, You want to experience Uighur culture go to thier homeland in southern xinjiang eg Kashgar, hotan etc. Urumchi was built in Dzungaria and its real Natives are called Dzungar Oirats.
I’m Chinese. I just saw on the comment section that many people were surprised by the mosque by the streets of the city. We were taught to respect different cultures and religious beliefs. For instants, do not eat pork in front of Muslims. There are many Muslim restaurants in the big cities like Guangzhou. Muslim people can wear what they want and walk in the street freely.
Yes, I have lived in Guangzhou for 11 years. When I first came to Guangzhou, many colleagues and friends would tell me that if you go to lanzhou restaurant and Xinjiang restaurant, don't talk to them about pork, because they don't eat pork. This is their belief, so we should respect their belief

I was last there in 1987. This place bears no resemblance to what it looked like then. The only multi-storey buildings were some hotels, that were only 3 stories high anyway. There were loads of street vendors and virtually no shops. The scariest bit was the flight from Beijing and landing at Urumuqi airport in a Boeing 707.

Because it's a lie. Just google "site:genocidewatch .com china" and you'll see that they do categorize what's happening in Xinjiang as acts of genocide.
China is not democratic. Ya can't open ya mouth on China as easily as ya can on USA,India or EU. Their Uyghur genocide near Kyrg border is only in videos n foreign news reporters due to Fear of detention by CCP Authorities n ruffians aren't able to report it well

You should visit china to see for yourself.
Aaaaand once again (several times just today) I see a video about a city in China I've hardly heard of, look at the Wikipedia article and am astounded by the size of the place. I'm from Miami, FL, this is bigger than Miami-Dade country, and over half the size of the whole Miami metropolitan sweaty hell hole area. Dang! I'm a little confused here because I watch so many food/travel videos I expect to see some noodles or someone baking bread or something in the first minute of the video. Well. Looks like a Major Metropolitan Area, doesn't it?
My God! This city is so clean, well built, organised, modern, multicultural Need we say more? Oh I see persecution & misery ! So much for Chinese 'oppression !' How's the American Freedom & Liberation trail doing so far in Afghanistan, Yemen, Libya, Iraq, Syria...... Democracy works wonders in America too! 😅😅😅
Good propoganda... since when the US and the West is interested in protecting the Muslim rights? I am a Muslim from Kazakhstan my relatives are doing well in Xinjiang. They have a new house built by the Chinese government under the national poverty alleviation program 🙏🤗
In fact, people in Xinjiang get a high average salary because of abundant gas and patrol resource. Lots of supercar flagship stores like Lamborghini or Ferrari in Xinjiang ang Inner Mongolia...
this is real and good - twist and turn by the west is absolutely ridiculous - we should learn to enjoy the prosperity together instead of trying to outwit the next person. there's abundant wealth which can be shared by humanity. the west should stop bullying non white nations. no one is superior over the other . we are all equal and let's do everything together --- one planet one world one humanity
If you have lived there for so many years, you are supposed to know this place very well. This is Int'l Grand Bazar in Er Dao Qiao. China is a great country. I wish her every success.
@@creepybastard1988 But in this video, I saw many uygurs. I could even hear the language at the background. Maybe the person taking the video forced them from out of the concentration camps to work as actors?
the han and Manchu built urumchi, the Area was taken from the dzunger oirat people who have absolutely nothing in common with uighurs. Every Uighur in urumchi came as a migrant into what was a han/hui/manchu city.
China has 39,000 mosques, 25,000 of them are in Xinjiang, whereas the United States has 2,106 mosques nationwide. Muslims are still minorities in China, but our number of mosques is already comparable to some major Islamic States like Iran 47,000, Saudi 94,000, UAE 9,000.
I want to make it VERY clear that Urumqi is a CHINESE/HAN city and NOT a uyghur city. Urumqi was basically founded by the Chinese/Han in mid-1700s and thus TODAY the population of Urumqi IS 75% Chinese/Han and 10% Chinese/Hui and less than 13% uyghur. Though the Han/Hui and uyghurs are both "migrants" to Urumqi (uyghurs are NOT native to the Dzungar Basin WHERE URUMQI IS LOCATED), URUMQI WAS FOUNDED AND CREATED BY THE CHINESE/HAN. *LIKE I SAID: Urumqi IS A CHINESE/HAN CITY.*
It seems like everybody knows for what purpose he's filming for. US and West should be ashamed of themselves. These people now feel insecure that people judge them for a genocide and they might feel bad that they are being accused of such a big crime.
You know if you don't put Xinjiang in the title, the western media isn't going to have any idea where Urumqi is...
They do not care where Urumqi is as they don’t give it a damn on their alleged human rights.

And in China, there's at least one muslim cafeteria in each university for muslim students. But many Han and other ethnicities also love muslim food. These cafeterias are very popular.
*Hermosa ciudad de Urumqui en Xinjiang China, con razón China es un pais del primer mundo.*
*Y las placas de los carros omnibuses todos están en escritura o alfabeto latino bien.*
*Saludos desde Lima Perú.*
Where is Urumqi, it looks very free and prosperous
It’s in concentration camp
@@啦啦啦玩魔兽的妹纸 its in Dzungaria, northern xinjiang, the ancestral lands of the oirat tribe of mongols
Such a beautiful and prosperous city! This is the real Xinjiang!
1. no homeless like LA. 2. no BLM looiting
no homeless because they're locked up or killed in prisons. no looting because there are surveillance cameras everywhere and theres no chance of escape
@@bigbill327 em...we chinese lock up or kill homeless ppl. so this is why you dare not come to china. i see...lol
@@bigbill327i cant even dignify that with a response if you truly believe this lol
@@vint6102 what about it is not true? surveillance cameras everywhere or the police actively keeping homeless people off the streets in cities?
@@bigbill327 surveillance cameras is not unique to china. look at democratic asian countries like singapore, they are everywhere. that is why asia is safer than the west. Whether you agree or disagree is irrelevant, eastern cultures value safety at the expense of certain personal freedoms.
I've never heard of china locking up homeless people and especially killing them in prison lol. its not some dystopian universe where laws and rules dont apply. You should visit china to see for yourself.
Safety and security is good for all.
Aaaaand once again (several times just today) I see a video about a city in China I've hardly heard of, look at the Wikipedia article and am astounded by the size of the place. I'm from Miami, FL, this is bigger than Miami-Dade country, and over half the size of the whole Miami metropolitan sweaty hell hole area. Dang! I'm a little confused here because I watch so many food/travel videos I expect to see some noodles or someone baking bread or something in the first minute of the video. Well. Looks like a Major Metropolitan Area, doesn't it?
Now we want a street tour of Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Jemen after attacks of the Americans
This city is much better than Mumbai and Delhi.
What a Modern City. 👍👍👍
The Chinese government did a great job making this another safe, clean and nice city in China👍👍👏👏
The streets here are much better than the streets in the capital of my country 😂😂😂😂😂 is this called “ concentration camp streets “ 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It looks like in Turkey or some modern European city.
Because of the red brick and trees on the sidewalk and so much space I thought it was New York, cleaner version and more Muslim
post more please
This city looks more beautiful than any western city
Beautiful and great city. Very clean.
I’m sure this video cant be from January , in jan usually it’s full of snow and I miss it. Daimmmm
west china has more desert land
The street are clean compares the one in downtown LA. Keep up the good work guys 👍
January is very cold n Xinjiang?
10 degrees below zero
Ruochen Yang or even lower.
Beautiful and lively city.
Wah what a nice outdoor jail
Se ve tan tranquilo las calles y es muy bonito
@2:25 the baby boy cried so hard, wasn’t it a solid proof of Chinese oppression?
yeah, even a piece of trash on the side of the road in China could be a proof of Chinese oppression.
This is nice city. And peace
I also want to be oppressed like that!! 😭😂😭😂
My God!
This city is so clean, well built, organised, modern, multicultural Need we say more? Oh I see persecution & misery !
So much for Chinese 'oppression !'
How's the American Freedom & Liberation trail doing so far in Afghanistan, Yemen, Libya, Iraq, Syria......
Democracy works wonders in America too! 😅😅😅
Was there a special event or is there always that many Chinese flags everywhere, on street poles and store fronts?
@lamlamla lam 🙏
It looks very modern even far away from the capital or from big city like Shanghai, Macau etc. thank the government for really working for its people
Does Xinjang looks a genocide and or force labor happens? No
Good propoganda... since when the US and the West is interested in protecting the Muslim rights?
I am a Muslim from Kazakhstan my relatives are doing well in Xinjiang. They have a new house built by the Chinese government under the national poverty alleviation program 🙏🤗
An operator of China’s first aircraft carrier is a Kazakh girl, she’s really powerful and beautiful.
Another Chinese it cell
Much more developed and cleaner than Afghanistan, Syria, Libya (Post Gaddafi), Iraq and Yemen..
I see BMW and Mosque and China flag
Audis and MBs too. Jeez. China pls oppress me
In fact, people in Xinjiang get a high average salary because of abundant gas and patrol resource. Lots of supercar flagship stores like Lamborghini or Ferrari in Xinjiang ang Inner Mongolia...
Such a peaceful and flourishing city, with the government's support.
Look at all these oppressed people with their big SUVs.
It's safe, peaceful, serene and clean. No homeless people here unlike a street in Los Angeles.
in wester eyes, xinjiang should be like middle east
多少度？
I love it 😻
Как я скучаю по Урумчи, по еде))
Beautiful
Those mosques are closed or open? please visit any mosque
Closed.Azaan is forbidden and prayer is forbidden too.
this is real and good - twist and turn by the west is absolutely ridiculous - we should learn to enjoy the prosperity together instead of trying to outwit the next person. there's abundant wealth which can be shared by humanity. the west should stop bullying non white nations. no one
is superior over the other . we are all equal and let's do everything together --- one planet one world one humanity
Is the author of this video German? His English has a German accent.
Compared to LA Xinjiang is literally heaven.
It’s so developed and beautiful city. Only fools will deny it and claimed that there’s genocide and force labor.
Looks like any other city in the world 🤷🏾♀️
Please put Xinjiang in your title.
Which part of urumqi is this ? Because I have lived there for 8 years and have never been to this place.
By grand bazaar
fake 8 years
If you have lived there for so many years, you are supposed to know this place very well.
This is Int'l Grand Bazar in Er Dao Qiao.
China is a great country. I wish her every success.
嬴齊滄 朋友，你知道中国的地方对外国人来说很混乱，因为到处都是一样的
连TM巴扎都不知道，还住了8年？你该下地狱8年，真主会惩罚你这个说谎者
سنکیانگ کا دارلحکومت ارومکائی ہے۔۔۔۔۔کیا یہ معلومات درست ہیں؟؟؟؟
yes
This can't be true. They don't look oppressed at all. Where did China find all the actors?
Because most of the people in Urumci are Chinese nowadays.There are not many Uyghurs left in the city.
@@creepybastard1988
But in this video, I saw many uygurs. I could even hear the language at the background.
Maybe the person taking the video forced them from out of the concentration camps to work as actors?
the han and Manchu built urumchi, the Area was taken from the dzunger oirat people who have absolutely nothing in common with uighurs. Every Uighur in urumchi came as a migrant into what was a han/hui/manchu city.
Uighurs have never been native to northern Xinjiang where urumchi is
看，这里的车全部是新车，都挂“新”字的牌子。
Kkkkk
China has 39,000 mosques, 25,000 of them are in Xinjiang, whereas the United States has 2,106 mosques nationwide.
Muslims are still minorities in China, but our number of mosques is already comparable to some major Islamic States like Iran 47,000, Saudi 94,000, UAE 9,000.
Reminds me Xinjiang uncles lied a simple cloth on the ground and started selling ice pops on it, during -20ºc winter.😂
Shouldn't these people be in the camps? How can they walking around and do their shopping?!
According to my "educated" friends this isn't suppose to be Xinjiang.
Snake like you always tell lies.
@@cheekiat8362 Stay awesome.....
@@cheekiat8362 I think he was just being sarcastic
@@serpentzachary1340 LOL your account name brought that to you ,for sure
I want to make it VERY clear that Urumqi is a CHINESE/HAN city and NOT a uyghur city.
Urumqi was basically founded by the Chinese/Han in mid-1700s and thus TODAY the population of Urumqi IS 75% Chinese/Han and 10% Chinese/Hui and less than 13% uyghur.
Though the Han/Hui and uyghurs are both "migrants" to Urumqi (uyghurs are NOT native to the Dzungar Basin WHERE URUMQI IS LOCATED), URUMQI WAS FOUNDED AND CREATED BY THE CHINESE/HAN.
*LIKE I SAID: Urumqi IS A CHINESE/HAN CITY.*
@shemusechin only in a Uighurs wet dreams are dzungaria and urumchi "Uighur "
@shemusechin Urumqi is a place name in Mongolian. If it is the land of Uyghurs, why is it named in Mongolian?
Beautiful city.
Beautiful city
It seems like everybody knows for what purpose he's filming for. US and West should be ashamed of themselves. These people now feel insecure that people judge them for a genocide and they might feel bad that they are being accused of such a big crime.
Most people are Uighurs. I have thought they were in camps.
It's a metropolis. If you lived there, you could be forgiven for thinking it was the centre of the world
