i cannot imagine the hatred that sparks and grows inside you, when you realize your partents send you to prison, because the cannot handle conflict like adults.
I guess it's the delusion of people telling themselves they do it because they love their kids but in reality it's because they're lazy. I guess the same could be said about belting and spanking your kid vs rationalizing an incentive structure.
@@gold-818 I think it's really not laziness but simply them genuinely not knowing what to do. Not everyone has the education to know how to raise kids, especially in a country like China that still has a lot of poor and uneducated people. So, they remember their own youth and parents instead and try to raise them as they were raised. That's probably not going to work though, but the parents simply don't know any other way of raising children. And from all the headlines and news they will genuinely think that their child is in actual danger and they have to stop them. To them it must sound like their child goes to hang out with drug addicts or something like that. So when the government then comes around with this program that has proven success (allegedly) and will make their child into a good citizen (allegedly), wouldn't they be bad parents if they didn't send their child? Again, don't forget how severely limited the access to the outside world is for most Chinese, especially if they are from the generation that doesn't use any internet.
@@lubue5795agree, these parents tried way too hard for their children so that none of them realized what are the actual correct solutions for those problems. Chinese education system is experiencing similar problems, the entrance to colleges is strictly guarded by a national exam for high school graduates, and the only way to get into a top university is to get a high score. The exam itself was aimed to test students’ abilities, not necessarily their abilities to *do the questions*. But unfortunately Chinese educators deem the exam is the only true goal, so they developed a system that forces students to spend 13 hours a day (middle-schoolers) and perhaps 15 hours in high school to learn answering exam questions. That’s a deviation from the original purpose of the exams and it ended up in a negative strengthening cycle which only makes the students get more and more schoolwork over time. I believe it is one of the most important problems for Chinese people, and they will solve it soon (at least in a decade). Unfunny facts: Some students drop out of their windows due to extreme pressure. (literally, this is not funny, I don’t want to use that word)
imagine being taken away from your escape from reality, and instead of being put into reality youre put into a torture camp where reality is used against you, and then youre expected to somehow NOT want to escape reality anymore. shits crazy
@@realbosstakea That is a VERY bold assumption. Every experience regarding abuse is very different depending on the person and family. Sometimes it's not even a grudge that people hold over their parents. They could understand and forgive. But even then they just don't want to associate or even contact with them because some wounds are just not able to heal as long as you are aware that you can meet that person and potentially hurt yourself again. Grudge is not the only thing that eats you alive. It's the constant collision of conscience between wanting to make peace with your past and wanting peace with your present.
I'm a Chinese kid who was put in a place like this when I was 10. After I was allowed to leave, I had trouble adapting back to society for YEARS. Then, everyone in the outside world, (who never experienced trauma) saw that I behaved autistic and bullied the crap out of me... There is no sympathy in this cruel world.

@@ImSkippingClass2Play I'm American. I'm also deaf too. I communicate to people in the outside world online instead of in the real world. I was not in the same situation as you, but at 10, I nearly did something that would have reversed my life but I changed somehow. Whatever trust I had in people, especially those who exhibit terrible personalities or are manipulative, I often reject and avoid. Being friends with them are a time waster.

Traditional parents who typically call their children rebellious almost always view their children as a robot with a flaw, rather than as a human being.
They always enforce discipline so they can get a specific type of child and so they can get the pre-conceived responses they want and they use all that to inform themselves on who the child is.
They’ll enforce a programmed set of desirable responses that they wanna see out of their child and anything unexpected or not in the responses makes them condemn the child, even if the response was a fundamentally good one, they will condemn them because it wasn’t the programmed one. It wasn’t the one they wanted and they do this to even extremes. Let’s say, for instance, a child wanted to be a police officer, but their parents predestined them to be doctors. For simply having an interest in being a police officer instead, they’ll likely reinforce behaviors that lead to being a doctor and condemn behaviors that even remind them of a police officer and they’ll do this for the rest of your life without any sincere attempt to empathetic understand, communicate, or hold anything other than an egocentric bias.
I am living through this, currently. Why can people be so psychologically stubborn? Why? Most people, upon reaction, will only say one or two things. And they forget. So easy do we forget. We all shut up and overlook everything. No one cares. No one's brave enough to do anything about anything and it results in never-ending pain for all. I am sure I have PTSD by now. I am not diagnosed, but I keep remembering. I haven't forgetten what has happened to me, even if what has happened is a far cry from what is shown in this video. I haven't forgetten what happened to others. And I hope I will never forget.
From what I understand is that it can be a trigger word for ppl with suicide ideation sensitivity. "Murder" on the other word well I don't think a lot of ppl out there will get overwhelmed by an urge to go on a rampage just by hearing it. But it might not be the case I'm no expert.

I can't even blame the kid who let his mother starve to death after being sent to one of those camps. How could someone ever trust their parents again after such a breach of trust?
Pretty sure that she (child) had the right idea. The phrase "with friends like these, who needs enemies?" comes to mind, though, there isn't really any "enemies" equivalent for "parents". If parents are to provide safety and stability for their child, then, well, this mother was providing the diametric opposite, and... with her out of the way, the kid was probably better off.
As a Chinese, I really don’t understand why many parents think that success must be linked to suffering, so they create suffering even if there is no suffering, and the more suffering there is, the better the outcome will be. However, they never think about whether suffering is really linked to success and maturity.
I believe it comes from their own experience of suffering. They suffered at the hands of their own parents and of their times; yet in the end they turned out okay and perhaps even became successful in life. They then rationalise their trauma through the logic that "what doesn't kill me makes me stronger," so they believe that suffering is necessary for self-growth and success. These parents then want to replicate the conditions of their own success with their children, after all, being successful in life is universally good.
I'm half Chinese (that side's lived in Taiwan for several generations), and I've seen that. Although I also think it's the Chinese government's example with the Uighur concentration camps, and more recently how their buddies in the Kremlin are treating Russia's minorities. Except worse, because it's parent-child rather than aspirations towards the empires of yore.
As a chinese person, i told my mom if she would send me to one of those places and she broke down in tears thinking about it. These programs are truly fucked up and should be stopped worldwide.

These types of "behavioral schools" for "troubled" kids also exist in the U.S., kidnapping/abuse and all. I'll never understand the reasoning behind sending your kid to a place like this no matter what they do. I feel like it's just people refusing to admit they're not good parents.
And your feeling is correct. The parents can't handle conflict with their children or they don't like that their children are independent and don't want to be brainwashed into their parents believes.
For anyone curious, I cannot recommend Joe vs. Elan (elan. school)enough. It’s a comic by a former „inmate“ at one of those „wilderness schools“ and it’s horrifying
They call it an addiction just because they don’t like it, by that logic surely you could call anything an addiction, “grid mindset addiction” “going to work addiction” “studying and getting good grades addiction”
That's the thing... They would rather you get addicted to studying and working than playing games because at least it would "do you good" My parents would rather see me exhausted from studying, get nosebleed because of stress rather than see me play games because: Studying> top grades> get good college/university> get rich> would be thankful for parents> repay parents for everything> retire and have a good life
well actually everything can be an addiction, except for some things (eating and breathing for example from the guy before me) but addiction most of the time is hard to define and not every addiction is just as bad as the other
China is a communist country. They don't believe in freedom. The government tells you how to live your life. If you disagree then they put you in a labor camp. Just a gulag by another name. Same in every communist country. I don't concern myself with the hell that happens in China because there is nothing we can do about it. My worry is the people who want to bring that kind of system to America. Communist sympathies are growing among young people but they have no idea what they are getting themselves into. American far leftists need to be educated about what will happen if communism takes root in America.
I'm Chinese and used to live in China. I wanna add one more side note to this whole thing, the most infamous "doctor"/facility owner is Yang Yongxin, he is also the original inspiration for Dead By Daylight's Killer "Doctor" as thousands of gamers in China wanted to have him forever remembered as a killer. For people who are interested in what he did you should google it, but I believe most of the detailed context will be in Chinese results, still, even just by scratching the surface with limited English results, you'll get a good idea on how fucked up it is.
I know somebody who was sent to one of those troubled youth camps here in the US. Place called Diamond Ranch Academy, they were tossed into simulated homelessness and forced to sit in the grueling desert sun with no water. They suffered many atrocities all the while their website showed green pastures, horse riding and more. When their parents came to visit they were mortified and thankfully pulled them out despite the camp pushing against it. Many people who were sent there wound up commiting suicide later in life and the Ranch itself has recently shut down after several kids have died due to neglect/abuse. There are many more places like that in the US however and they are truly some of the most vile and disgusting places on the planet! Torturing and absuing troubled youth in need of help for profit. does it get any more deplorable than that.
It does, when organized and funded by government like in China and most likely NK too. God forbid if tyrannic regime in my country survives long enough to establish something similar.
And there they are chinese nationalists . This is projection and nothing will change in your country , when you don't recognise this your country is doomed.
Yeah but it's better for views to do propaganda against China than the US. For anyone actually informed, they realize both countries are more similar than the opposite.
It’s so sad that a bilibili content creator and his team who dedicated their time and effort on debunking these schools had come out to say that a lot of his friends were sent extreme death threats from the school (like funeral equipment to their doorstep) and some even took their own lives. This deserves to be spoken up about.
@@vikibg-wt2to Ha. You should do some research into the Chinese Internet. The CCP has complete authority over the entire internet. All social media platforms require their users to submit their real names and identification as proof to make an account. Anything that can be even remotely be construed as anti CCP no matter how small or insignificant is immediately shut down and wiped from the internet, and the person who posted it can expect a knock on the door from CCP goons. Often times leading to them being disappeared for ever.
As someone who probably actually has an internet addiction, it enrages me that the problem was rightfully recognized so early in China, yet that they proceeded with the worst way possible of dealing with it
There is a well codified process on diagnosing issues so that they don't pop up again, but too often people don't follow up on it either because it takes up too much work or it would lead to the discovery of some very uncomfortable truths that might end up implicating the one who asked. It's used a lot in manufacturing because failure to do so means very expensive cleanup and repair bills for the company. Yet in society, people tend to not realise what the costs of not regularly implementing root cause analysis are. Internet addiction at its base, is but a symptom of larger societal and psychological problems that need to be addressed before the symptom of Internet addiction goes away, just like any other kind of addiction. But in the context of Chinese society, trying to get down to the root causes would have you run into some of the hardest questions that people, especially politicians, would be embarrassed to have asked of them, so it is often not done.
I think Chinese people consider internet addiction something much lighter than what American parents say internet addiction is. Addiction is not something that's easy to define precisely. Same may think addiction starts at 3 hours a week while others say it's 10 hours a day. Considering the insane amount of strictness of asian parents those teens are not in danger of the internet probably. Or to put it in other words doing anything but studying is dangerous there, internet is just one activity that some of them can escape with from the harsh long hours of constant concentration.
@@Kepitano I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess stuff like human rights abuses like the right to privacy, freedom of expression/information, freedom of religion, right to protest against the state, non-existent health and safety regulations, worker's rights, institutionalised corruption, mass censorship/propaganda, wealth inequality, housing crisis, population crisis (eg one child policy; gender gap), economic uncertainty, tofu dreg construction 😅
This is almost IDENTICAL to The Elan School in Maine, USA. Actually insane it continued for so many decades with parents paying huge fees for the torture of their own kids.
@@qq84yeah I was in a family too broke for the wilderness therapy, so I was just shuffled from psych ward to psych ward. I was often starved or locked into rooms screaming for mercy. I was forced to take medications I was allergic too not once, but twice. when I denied them they just injected it. Horrid.
I studied piano with Juilliard as a teenager and then entered a torture environment later on that had a keyboard in the "community room." I was playing Schumann's First Loss, which might be the saddest piece of piano music ever written. Suddenly, I was charged at by a gigantic young male who had a video game fixation. He ran directly at me (I am very small) and nearly knocked me off the piano bench, throwing me into the wall. Then he stopped and informed me that I "must stop playing" because he had to play video games. He required that the entire room be empty and refused to share space with anyone, insisting that he owned the entire art/exercise/music/movie room. It snowballed and was an absolute nightmare.
As a chinese, this shit is actually true. YangYongXing (which is the organizer for the electroshock torture camp) is still not being captured or sued and was living normally for the rest of his lives, and didn't face like any consequences. Which i think its really fucked up; This is scary because, still in china, there are these teen camps that captured those teens without their own will. Some of the organizer pretend their the "military" or "cops" and capture the teens offline through brutal force. And many teens are being electroshocked and faced inhumane torture, and are locked up like in prisons. There are many people actually trying to report these things to the cops, but sometimes its just effortless work. I really think this shit shouldn't occur in my country, which i'm really sad of it (sorry if this is confusing; my english is kinda bad, i did my best :( )
Your english is good mate. Don't pressure yourself. Contempt culture sucks in general. What should gain you respect, is how good you treat others, not how bad you let others treat you. The best way to help someone is the way you are both comfortable with, not the way it is required by anyone else. Don't follow pride, follow what you think and feel is good.

They had a metal rod and they would whip misbehaving students with it and often shout and humiliate students. after long years stay at Australia, i went back to china for a holiday, and they decided to put me into the schools at china again for a few months. my mental health dropped so low that they got worried that i was gonna get a bit suicidal so they never put me back into Chinese schools again after that holiday. now just imagine what the camps are like.

I still doesn't know what happened to him during his stay at that place, but he changed so much and left my friend group.

As a citizen of an Asian country, I can confirm that education is very very competitive in most countries of Asia. Most Asian parents think that engineer or doctor is the only future for their child. If someone wants to do some business or online things, it is mostly considered failure by Asian parents. This kind of competitive education has destroyed many child's young ages and they are now just nothing but some heartless robot.
And the suicide rates are sky high and life satisfaction is Abysmal. Yet the brain dead government and parents blame videos games instead of a cancerous work culture.
for a 16 year old girl to let their own mother starve to death after being sent to one of those camps is insane, if the girl was that emotionally scarred and abused to do that to her own mother then that just shows how abusive these camps are. and the fact this is supposed to cure “internet addiction” is off limits when they literally torture kids and even adults to the point where they literally are scarred for life and defeats the purpose of curing anything when it makes more problems. Conclusion; these “rehabilitation” camps are just glorified prisons you get sent to for playing games for a bit too long, oh and i forgot to mention they also mentally and physically abuse you for months on end for no reason when just prison alone is already enough to traumatize any kid for life, let alone this dystopian bullshit they employ to these poor kids.
I’m so happy I don’t live in china. The closest experience I have to this has been spending a month in the psych ward which that alone traumatized me for life and this is in America. With fascism and authoritarianism on the rise in this country, I really hope the USA doesn’t go down the same path as China. The trauma they’re experiencing is unbelievable and I’m so grateful that I live here for now.
I have been to one of these boot camps. I lived in China 10-15 years ago and was taken to one as part of a group outreach/volunteer thing. It was the middle of winter and they had no heat at all in any of the rooms other than a very small coal burning stove in the office for staff only. This was on purpose - either to save money or torture the kids, probably both. They had no hot water and in fact only had running water a few hours a day. They had to spend long hours standing or running in the courtyard - and I truly mean _hours._ If one kid got in trouble they all were punished in this way. Kids would sometimes escape but it was on a mountain in a remote area so they'd always be caught and brought back before they got anywhere. Aside from punishment, the rest of their time was spent in the classroom; they got no free time at all. And this was all because they were supposedly addicted to the internet. Some of the other foreigners in the group I was with decided to volunteer weekly to teach the kids English, reasoning that they were the only little bright spot in the poor kids' week, at least they could try to bring a little bit of happiness to them. I, however, refused. I was furious that the group even organized the trip. That trip was basically used as a photo opportunity for the owner to get good press. And I felt like between that trip and the others going regularly, the owner would use that as a big selling point to parents. At that time and in that area of China having actual Americans, Brits, Australians, etc. teaching at your school was very prestigious. So while they might be bringing a little bit of happiness to the kids, in the long run they were enabling the school to continue to exist and attract more parents to send their kids there. I don't think I'd ever been so furious as I was on that trip, seeing the conditions the kids had to live in and knowing my presence was just going to help the owner torture more kids.
Unfortunately, you get it wrong. What you attended was a high school "军训 military training" that the Chinese government used as a nominal substitute for military service. Junior high school, senior high school and university students are required to undergo military training for one month when they just enter school. The leader of the school you taught at may have had a problem in his mind when he invited a group of foreigners to observe military training with the connotation of national defense education. In those days, many people liked to show "international" their organization are by just adding some random foreigners in their photos.
@@williamwan3712 Yeah, no. They were specifically there because they were "addicted" to the internet or video games. Many of them had been there for months/years, they were of various ages, they did not do any military trainings or wear any military uniforms, many of them had been tricked or basically kidnapped and brought there. I have also seen the military training students go through and this wasn't that. Try not to speak about something you honestly have no clue about - it really speaks volumes about your intelligence, but unfortunately not in a good way.

Something similar happened to me in Mexico when I was a teenager.

It was like psychological torture camp with sprinkles of religion, very traumatic.
This is also an extended, and unintended, consequence of the infamous One Child Policy. When your only kid just wants to have fun, the parents often panic, because literally their ONLY lifeline to financially support the family and continue the family into the future is NOT working. Compounding this issue is the GaoKao, the university entrance exam that literally determines your entire future. One shot. No redos. Finally, these parents are from the generation that grew up through the Cultural Revolution, which was a brutal 10 year period where all societal trust was shattered, leaving the adults of today with terrible emotional regulation, trauma, and a sad willingness to want to use violence to enforce control over what they have. Put these three things together, and you have an entire society that runs on extreme anxiety and low empathy. I don’t get along with my parents most of the time, but I’m still grateful we left China all those decades ago so that I can build a less stressful future for my family in the West.

Words can't describe how disgusting and horrifying these camps are, I feel so bad for every one of the victims subjected to them. Even for the genuinely internet-addicted people, they deserve proper medical care, not whatever this nonsense is.
Had anybody else ever felt in their youth that their parents would rather blame everything else than themselves? "Get off your phone, go out, do something productive" - They punish kid's desires, yet rarely provide alternatives appealing enough to interest their child. "Don't touch that egg, you'll break it" - Kill the curiosity, to save something cheap and abundant instead of encouraging the kids to experiment. This goes on and on. Then comes the school and something that should have been fun is turned into a stressful, life-sucking competition. "do well or else..."
Or in my case never let me outside yet complained I was overweight antisocial and had no friends outside of school Never let me have a school sport or club and I never stayed for detention because I wasn’t allowed so I’d have marks on my record for skipping detention despite not having permission Then when I’m an adult I’m chastised for having “poor social skills” even though he’s the ONLY person who has an issue with it, and tells me I should’ve stayed in the autistic speech class even though I never had autism and they taught barebones speech excersizes that made me feel like a kindergartener rather than a high schooler.
Why do you need to break an egg for yourself to understand that it will break? Do you need to go to space yourself to believe it exists? Do you need to create an engine yourself to know it will power a vehicle? Do need to drown to understand that you cannot breathe underwater? Almost everything you know is second-hand. Why highlight this random specific thing?
@@KonglomeratYT Because if you have a kid that's a couple years old, you want them to experiment, touch things, see things, feel them, learn how they work, get interested. Yet people would rather tell their kids "don't touch it or it will break" rather than give them the said egg and guide them through something like boiling it and making a sandwich. They would rather save a few damn cents like they're made of gold than support the curiosity of their children. That's how you end up with a janitor dissinterested in life, rather than an architect, an artist, a scientist or literally anything productive.

I just couldn't imagine being sent off to torture by your own parents. The ones who are supposed to love you, shelter you, and nurture you. That stinging feeling of betrayal is what I believe would hurt even more than the torture itself.
The unending feeling of the world being inherently unsafe is worse than either of them, especially when you're surrounded by people who insist the world is good.

i think the issue with gaming addiction in china isnt that kids nowadays are just that lazy or that games are THAT addicting (although they can certainly suck you in) but its that these kids these PEOPLE are so incredibly stressed by the outside world in a way that they themselves might not even recognize, that the fun escapism that games are meant to provide basically becomes a heaven for them. the fact that their standard for whether someone is addicted to games is that they prefer games over studying, immediately demonizing computers and computer games, without even trying to understand the person or the technology is very telling of how that society thinks. addictions are not just physical, they are also emotional. they use games to help themselves feel better, but because the problem is still there and never fixed, they can only want more and more of what is pleasing, which is why they get addicted to games the same way someone who's very stressed might get addicted to drugs, tobacco/nicotine, or alcohol. the problem is not games or the children. the problem is a society that is expecting more and more, wanting these people to be better than perfect and for them to act like robots. they're now so desperate to escape those expectations that the emotional pleasure games give them are comparable to the pleasure you feel from taking actual drugs.
Exactly. It's the same like the drug epidemics in the west. Instead of fighting the reason why people abuse drugs in the first place they just fight the drugs. That's like ignoring a broken leg and only swallowing painkillers instead of taking care of the broken leg. This makes me assume that it's not really about health but submission. To create obedient worker drones that serve the government's interest, even if the worker drones die in the process.
@@laaaliiiluuu i genuinely dont think its a conspiracy like that, but i certainly do think that the parents just have absolutely NO clue what is actually wrong since there is so much misinformation that is pushed by nearly all other adults, government and professionals included. parents want their kid to be healthy, but fail to realize that the real issue is not a mysterious hypnotizing computer game, but the horrific conditions of stress that these children are subject to. and they think this because they're constantly engrossed in the idea that studying harder is ALWAYS good, so unless something big happens to truly open their eyes, they refuse to think of the possibility that the insane academic pressure is the real issue. the obsession with academics is a deep rooted cultural and historical thing too, so i can understand why this would be the case, and so i hope that chinese society can open their minds to a deeper understanding of our problems soon, and not let this kind of thing haunt us.

@@delta-1 nope! or well, its not that simple at least. imo, the misinformation isnt spread maliciously, at least not in the vast majority of cases. however, people do try to capitalize off of the issue, BUT this is often because they themselves are also misinformed people who truly believe in that kind of stuff, so much that they get very cruel with their methods of "fixing" these children. the misinformation issue is very serious in east asia, likely because iirc this technology comes from the west, and bc people don't understand it and also don't want to take the westerns' word for some things (much of the older generations think westerners are stupid, etc and thats why they think how they do) they instead treat this tech and the reactions to it with some level of paranoia. bc they don't think anything can be wrong with their own society (cognitive bias), they instead assume that stuff like video games are some sort of horrible "magical drug" that has ruined their children and even many adults when really it IS the societal norms that are at fault here.
also Yang and his "experts" alluded to a possible outcome of internet influence being murder then refers broadly to increased crime rates as support for his claims. a lot of crimes are small things where whether or not they are prosecuted is left to the discretion of the supposed victims which means it is influenced by the victims' perceptions. now imagine 2 people commit the same crime but 1 is an athlete and the other is constantly on the internet. which one do you think will be reported by these adults who have a negative opinion about the internet. if he wants to bolster his claims then he should narrow the crime stats to the murder rates or at least to felonies where law enforcement always takes it seriously then we can see if it is really worse.
I'm really interessted where China will be in 10-20 years when all these traumatized children have become adults and are the ones deciding how things should be.
there are enough people in the country who havent gone to these camps that these troubled adults could easily just be forgotten by society. china is big enough that ccp elites who run the gov won't be affected at all and there will still be more than enough people who haven't had their lives destroyed in the camps to be picked to become lower party members who carry out the orders and rise through the ranks
These kids most likely will not get to decide on anything. There's always rich second gens that get political powers through nepotism. Possibilities are almost completely closed down on regular people.
Unfortunately, it really happened to me half a year ago, but it destroyed everything and caused me immense pain. I reported it to the police while I was in the internet addiction treatment school, but they chose to ignore it. After I got out of the school, I also reported the school to the police, but they still chose to ignore it and threatened to detain me, forcing me to delete the videos I took of the school and warning me not to post them online. When I needed help, the Chinese government chose to ignore it and prevented me from revealing the truth. I firmly believe that such a government will eventually perish.

that's how Christensen who was a TA or professor killed a student. pretended to be an authority figure when he wasn't and got a girl to get into his car. he tried this twice or more until he succeeded. pretending to be a police officer or making a false police report is a crime. the first target knew this and called in a report.

To clarify and add on, "Uncle Yang" 羊叔 is a derogatory title to Yang Yongxin. It literally translates to "sheep uncle, " coined because the character for "sheep," yang, has the same pronunciation as his last name. He has a similar nickname 羊叫兽 (Yang Jiaoshou)，which sounds exactly like "Professor Yang," except jiaoshou here doesn't mean professor, but "noisy animal." The majority of the Chinese netizens today refer to him as a devil, which is even noted on his Baidu page (think of it as the Chinese version of Wikipedia). I am extremely disappointed that he managed to get away with everything he has done. Justice has not been served, and I can only hope that one day I'll see him pay for his actions.
It is worth mentioning that this kind of facility is in completely different states in different regions of China. I live in Beijing, and none of my classmates have ever experienced this kind of thing. However, in less developed cities, you can even see advertisements and advertisements for "Internet addiction treatment agencies" on the streets. In addition, this video has been translated and uploaded to Chinese video websites, and the comments on both sides are surprisingly consistent this time🤣
This is why, as a student of fully Chinese descent living in China who performs above average, I spend my free time learning German, with the aim of - you guessed it - legally studying and living in Germany (or Switzerland). It's no secret that good grades are the key to success in China. So what do I do with mine? Try to be successful, of course. By leaving, and only coming back when the time is right. Viel Glück wünsche ich noch allen, die dieses ebenfalls versuchen. Viel Glück wünsche ich ebenfalls meine chinesischen Landesgenossen, die in einer solchen Zukunft leben müssen.
Thousands of children are in programs like this in the US as we speak. There are frequent deaths and claims of abuse, yet somehow they're allowed to legally operate with little to no oversight from the state. Parents are lied to, often not allowed to communicate with their children for months at a time, and many children come out permanently traumatized and end up homeless or in prison. Look into the troubled teen industry, it is beyond sickening that this type of shit is legal.
@@santaclaus5411 essentially they send "troubled teens" to wilderness camps where they are starved and abused for years and come out horribly traumatized (or don't come back at all)
@@santaclaus5411 There's a Webcomic called "ELAN School" where someone who was placed in one of these 'troubled teen' facilities wrote about his experience, it's a hard read, but probably the best insight you could get into it.
We had this in Britain when I was young. They were called borstals. The men in charge were often very violent and engaged in sexual abuse and a lot of physical abuse. They treated you like an animal and the punishments were intended to degrade and frighten you
When I was at a UK university, I wrote an essay which argued that counter to the major academic claims, there is no great faceless 'machine' that disappears people, instead there exists vast swathes of complicit human beings who wilfully organise the torture of their own; suggesting there is a deep, cultural problem with the Chinese people that if left unchecked, would create torture and concentration camps to come into existence. My professor, a witness to the Tiananmen Sq. massacre, who was known to be heavily sponsored by the CCP, said the the theory was nonsense, my viewpoint was colonialist and that such travesties would never happen in the modern age. Watching this documentary and looking at what is happening in Xinxiang, I've never been happy to have been proven right and still, that professor has never changed her stance.
There is a book/movies called „The wave“ (Die Welle). It‘s fictional, but touches on dangerous social dynamics and how they can take on a life on it’s own. Basically a home room teacher is faced with somewhat dismissive students when teaching about WW2. They can’t really empathize with why people would have followed Hitler so easily, never really spoke up about the concentration camps and don’t think this would ever be possible today. So the teacher decides to do an experiment in which he re-creates similar social dynamics used during the reign of The Third Reich and of course it takes on a life on it‘s own. Basically first establishing an „us“ vs „them“, then introducing incentives to belong to the „us“, and then slowly punishing „them“ for not being like „us“. People who followed the NaZi Party and where part of organisations like the Hitlerjugend benefited greatly from social mobility and a sense of directions and belonging while people wo spoke out against the regime or even helped the jews/foreigners/cripples were punished or „disappeared“ themselves. So yes, in that sense, humans create and enforce their own „imprisonment and torcher“ by being complicit. But it also raises the moral/ethical question of: how much is it actually a choice? At what point can complicity still be considered a choice if the (perceived) alternative is social (and/or literal) death??“ And I think that‘s the point here: the actual or perceived alternative a person THINKS they have. And that is often directed by a „faceless dark entity“ aka fear. This idea really applies to both, the prisoners (the ones in good standing helped punishing the ones in bad standing to stay in good standing aka they were conplicit to avoid punishment themselves) as well as the parents (parents decided to turn a blind eye thinking ‚what is a short amount of pain for my kid’ vs. the (perceived) alternative of being a decade long outlier to chinese society. Not trying to excuse the parents behavior here, but there can be an argument made that if the system (aka faceless entity) were different, parents would not fear suffering under Chinese society and the incentive to send their kids to camps like that would not exist. Not sure if that touched at all on your essay. My point is that simply because Humans „decide“ to create their own prisons, it does not mean that there is not a „faceless entity“ pulling the strings willing them into action.
It's unthinkable what kind of atrocities are going on even today in every country there is. Great interview and video overall. Even though it highlights an issue that shouldn't be here in the 21st century, it makes my blood boil. Thank You for shining a light on this.
@@sandwich5344 Yeah, but I van't stand worrying about other countries' problems when my nation has its own. It's just going to add to my ever-growing cynicism.
I'm from Goa, my case was a bit different. My grades were fine and all and there were no issues at school. It was just that my parents felt it was their right to control every aspect of my life and I did not comply. They initially sent me to a psychiatrist to see if anything was wrong and when they did not get the results they wanted they took matters in their own. It was mental torture at first, began with public belittling, insulting beating with almost anything they could get their hands on especially metal rods. When this didn't work, they being the religious nuts that they were put me through more than 3 hours of exorcism, where they bound me to a bed and had those catholic priests carry out their crap. After this they even tried hypnotherapy. I survived through all this torture, but was transferred to boarding school in another state where they made sure to have full control of my life without my knowledge. After finding out, I made a vow that I would never forgive them even if they were dying in front of me. Later I managed to escape that hellhole by getting accepted in the UK to complete my masters.
Been thinking this the whole time, these camps are so frustrating to me because wow, almost like treating people so subhuman isn’t gonna help them grow and change or whatever. real shocker indeed (sarcasm)
They will know but they can't speak about it. They have their own way of pointing out fraud when they witness it on their state ran social media platforms. But they can't ever speak the truth...
Honestly the girl who starved her mother for that is completely valid, imagine sending your own child to a prison camp instead of raising your kid properly
Why is it always bad treatment with kid problems? If you suffer from drugs or gambling addictions, depression, disability or whatever else, it will be treated well, but if it’s something mostly kids do, like puberty, gaming, social media and others, it is fought so harshly? I understand that it is more significant when you’re a child, but it’s still insane
Uncle Yang literally sounds like a Hydra doctor. The whole administering electro shock on a person for thirty minutes at a time literally sounds like what Bucky went through in the Winter Soldier. It's very unfortunate that teens are being tortured just for being on the internet.
@@David-mj4gwDid you not see the point? The point was that the torture was so depraved he thought it was something that only happened in movies and not something an actual living human would actually do to another human.
@@Moonstone-Redux I do see the point but it’s such a limited world view. If the video covered someone who was comically evil I’d understand but dr Yang and the other camps are more depressing than shocking. It’s all in good faith though
My girlfriend is an MTF. She once had to go through this institution where she endured all sorts of torture. They kept her awake for days, deprived her of food, and wouldn't even let her drink water. There were so many other victims there, but they only provided a small amount of food, so most people went hungry. For other reasons, they forced my girlfriend to take massive doses of androgens and growth hormones. This messed up her hormones badly, causing ulcers to break out all over her body. If I remember correctly, they even executed a victim in front of many others in that place. When my girlfriend got out, she was left with severe PTSD, depression, and anxiety. The horrors she went through still haunt her to this day.
People that stay inside just playing games and browsing the internet most of the time don’t produce anything that governments deem useful, so this isn’t surprising at all, especially when talking about a dictatorial government…
@@lordlofty9689 actually no, these camps exist in america; kidnapping included, however they're set up as "wilderness bootcamps" or youth correctional ranches. Even up until recently conversion "therapy" torture camps were common, and still are legal in some parts of the US. So you don't get a fair trial, but if you have the money you might be able to sue after the damage is already done. If I remember correctly, these style of youth camps happened in the US first.
*Su1c!de has been overly simplified and exaggerated as commonplace. What results in that is a lack of people TRULY understanding it (🤐or differentiating when the government makes to happen). MOST people who say they have "*Su1c!de al" thoughts are NOT completely honest, or committed to the process, and may be using it for attention (justified or not) Having the actual condition which goes beyond emotion is very very VERY sad. Anyways I have no ****idal thoughts - i sincerely hope no one in this comment section does either.
Born and raised in China. Fun fact: These concentration camps still exist in the disguise of "Traditional Chinese Schools". And yes, about 60% of the elder generation that I know still thinks that the Internet ruins their kids' future. I'm currently 18 and got admitted by a T10 school in US for undergrad. When my dad shared that news to my relatives, their common reaction was, "WHAT? HOW! HE PLAYS VIDEO GAMES SO OFTEN! HE SHOULD SUCK AT STUDYING! I THOUGHT HE COULDN'T EVEN GET INTO A COLLEGE! " .......bruh. I don't know whether I should be angry or sad about their statements. It just feels like all of my grind, sweat and tears are being written off only because I play Counter Strike and Valorant, and I can't even get mad about it since I have to "respect the elderly". People just have the tendency to believe that once you play video games, you will be a failure.
Congratulations on making it to the school, but I’m sorry that your own relatives think that you are a failure just because you play video games. 😢❤ KEEP ON GOING!! You are not a FAILURE🙏🏼🙌❤️
Disclaimer, as a Chinese, my English may contain grammar mistakes, point it out and I'm willing to correct it ；D Many Chinese parents would rather send their poor kids to these "totally legitimate compounds" rather than claiming their wrong way of education (Extremely high study pressure) casuing their kids to a point where the children tried to escape reality (through playing games). The parents would rather their kids to be corrected the most brutal way possible in the camps than having a talk with their kids and acknowledge their difficulties. What a shame... For those who are more interested in this topic, there is actually a game named "Breakout13", which it's Chinese name is translated to escape from room 13, with it's style like Detroit Become Human, perfectly explaining the dark truth behind. 10/10 for those who are willing to explore on this topic more, it is also shown in the end of the video for a second, easy to miss it. This "cure" is just pure chaos after all.
Very interesting to hear from a chinese! I cant imagine how chinese teens survive school, its already hell for me in school. And a little mistake I found "The parents would rather *let* their kids...". Your english is very good compared to most people!
When you say "Concentrated Camps" do you mean a prison-like place for people who aren't criminals? What are the Chinese characters for what you translated as "Concentrated Camps"? Here in the West those places are generally called "concentration camps" or "internment camps". Unfortunately many people here say "concentration camp" to mean "execution camp" (a prison-like place that intentionally kills/murders their inmates) so the meaning of "concentration camp" can get a bit confusing at times.
@@gjvnq Oh I see, thanks for correcting me first, what I meant by concentration camps I do wanna mean like the place which imprison teens for whatever reason and make them suffer. Really sorry to confuse you. I will correct it now.
the west is really biased against China. There is only one voice--an anti-China one--in the west now, but any other voice is banned, and anyone who said such kind of words is punished. French professor Christian Mestre at the University of Strasbourg once visited Xinjiang in 2019. He conducted independent investigations in many places there, talked with many Uyghurs, and later concluded that it was important for the Chinese government to take such measures to fight against terrorism. He also said that terrorism is a very serious problem in France and that France should learn from China to take such measures. He said so two years ago, but the professor recently had problems. Journalist Jérémy André Florès at “La Opinión” complained Prof. Mestre of saying so. Why does Mr. Florès accuse Prof. Mestre of supporting China? Because Prof. Mestre is currently serving as the ethics officer for the Eurometropolis project in which the city of Strasbourg is involved, and the city is debating whether to allow Huawei's 5G project to deploy in the city. See? In order to stop Huawei from entering the European market, Mr. Florès brought up the past to take down Prof. Mestre. Western people often say that there is no freedom of speech in China, but is there in the western world?
Bro how the hell is this allowed to be legal? Why do people think to raise a child you must be violent towards them, this is a whole other level. I'm glad fern managed to make this video, this is such a traumatizing thing to go through. These parents are just continuing this chain of suffering and turning their children into heartless robots.
Whats even crazier is that this happens in the US too. Some wilderness programs are absolutely nuts. Wilderness goons take you in the night into the middle of nowhere, asking you to strip naked in front of them and then throwing you into a camp.
There are well-documented cases of death, abuse, and other potentially traumatic situations associated with or caused by wilderness programs, including the following cases: February 1990 - Three teenagers drown at Convict Lake whilst enrolled at Camp O'Neal.[18] Camp director Bobbi Trott, who was in charge during the teenagers' death, would go on to found Crater Lake School[19] and be a founding member of NATSAP.[20] May 9, 1990 - Michelle Lynn Sutton from California dies from dehydration whilst enrolled at the Summit Quest program.[21] 1990 - Kristen Chase dies three days into the Challenger Wilderness Program.[22] January 15, 1995 - Aaron Bacon dies from acute peritonitis whilst attending the North Star Wilderness Program.[23] 2001: The New York Times reports that there have been 31 deaths at outdoor camps for troubled youths in 11 states since 1980.[24] May 27, 2002 - Erica Harvey dies from heat stroke and dehydration.[25] July 15, 2002 - Ian August dies during a hike whilst attending the Skyline Journey Wilderness therapy program.[26] August 2002 - 11 teens are found in distress at a wilderness therapy program camp and taken into protective custody by Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services child and family services division.[27] September 18, 2002 - William Edward Lee suffers damage to vertebral artery after being restrained.[25] October 14, 2003 - Charles “Chase” Moody asphyxiates and dies after staff improperly restrains him at the On Track wilderness program in Texas.[28] March 23, 2003 - Cory Baines dies after a tree limb falls on his tent during the Catherine Freer Wilderness Therapy program.[25] August 28, 2009 - Sergey Blashchishen dies from dehydration and hyperthermia whilst at Sagewalk Wilderness Therapy Program.[29] November 23, 2014 - Alec Lansing dies from hypothermia and broken femur whilst trying to run away.[30] December 2015 - Six students are evacuated from Open Sky Wilderness Program and flown to Denver, Colorado with frostbite; the Open Sky Wilderness Program is accredited by Outdoor Behavioral Healthcare Council, Association for Experiential Education, and the Department of Human Services for Colorado and Utah.[31] February 2024- A 12-year-old boy was found dead at a camp located in Lake Toxaway, North Carolina. He had arrived at the camp less than 24 hours before he was found dead by camp staff. [32] Days later, a woman files a lawsuit alleging she was sexually assaulted by a fellow camper at age 12 at the same camp. [33]
It's always miserable to be made aware of the ignorance of the masses and the government. Even more frustrating is how superficial the idea of "success" is in the mind of adults; how it is only reflected in grades and later the salary, social standing or work position of a person.
As a Chinese, I'm glad somebody finally make video about this topic ,revealing this darkness 感谢你做这个视频，做的挺好的 Thank you for making this video, its pretty good
Such a bad idea for parents. Even if you force the kids into behaving differently, that doesn't mean they are going to be happy with you about it. When you are old, why will they take care of you after that mistreatment?
As a teen who struggled with mental health issues in the 2000s, I used computers and video games a lot as an escape. I didn't have today's Internet back then, and I wasn't into multiplayer games, but it was still bad. I could've been one of these unfortunate teens; I seriously doubt I'd survive. I did get treatment later in college. While it wasn't as bad as this, it was still rough. I bumped into "bad apples" in the psych field outside of these camps that could do more harm than good, and educating my Filipino parents was (and still is) tough. But I'm gotten thru it and gotten better. And I now advocate for not just proper and accessible MH treatment but also MH education, which I think would resolve/prevent a lot of problems.
My best friend (now adopted sister) got sent off to a extreme religious school for "Soul Therapy" for questioning their families religion by asking the harder questions in the bible, thats was it. It was not a boarding school like her parents told her, it was a compound in a different state. But luckily it was escapable one but if she left she would be excommunicated instantly. She had managed to hide the phone she had in secret, she had it for a long time then as the situation with her church was turning sour long ago an this cellphone was her lifeline. We had planned once her brother turned 18 we were going to get them both but then this happened an tossed a wrench into things but we still got her brother later on. The evil things she an her brother went through they still struggle telling us to this day. The things they went through was insanely abusive and that's before she ever got tossed in the torture school. But they are with us and actually thriving an I am so grateful to have them as family.
When faced with your child who is "acting out," do you 1) Get on their level, connect with them, and try to understand their behavior, or 2) Just hire someone to kidnap and traumatize them into doing what you want? The answer isn't quite so obvious!
I was wondering what type of torture methods the doctor was using in room 13. Electoshock therapy definitely caught me off guard. Then to hear that it was done for minutes with no anesthesia really got me. Those poor kids that had to go through that. Electroshock therapy can be known to leave the patient with serious side effects in some cases. One of the side effects is memory loss, which is kinda ironic. You worry about your kid spending too much time on the computer and not studying. To then send him to a juvenile detention center (what they really are) where they can end up with brain damage, which could permanently affect their learning and memory. Fear really makes you do illogical things.
You seem to have misunderstood. This matter is well known in China. The reversal of the verdict was made in the past 10 years, because 20 years ago, children did not have the ability and status to speak out for themselves. At that time, the entire society was not interested in emerging things like the Internet. They all expressed disgust, which is still common even now.
"You tired of parenting? Here, let a doctor do it instead! Surely that will work better!" What is happening is parents lacking common sense, falling prey to predators and paying for the privilege literally and metaphorically.
i cannot imagine the hatred that sparks and grows inside you, when you realize your partents send you to prison, because the cannot handle conflict like adults.
Chinese parents often think they are just doing the right thing for their children and are too stubborn to listen to them
I guess it's the delusion of people telling themselves they do it because they love their kids but in reality it's because they're lazy. I guess the same could be said about belting and spanking your kid vs rationalizing an incentive structure.
When the child act more like an adult then the actual adults
@@gold-818 I think it's really not laziness but simply them genuinely not knowing what to do.
Not everyone has the education to know how to raise kids, especially in a country like China that still has a lot of poor and uneducated people. So, they remember their own youth and parents instead and try to raise them as they were raised.
That's probably not going to work though, but the parents simply don't know any other way of raising children. And from all the headlines and news they will genuinely think that their child is in actual danger and they have to stop them. To them it must sound like their child goes to hang out with drug addicts or something like that.
So when the government then comes around with this program that has proven success (allegedly) and will make their child into a good citizen (allegedly), wouldn't they be bad parents if they didn't send their child?
Again, don't forget how severely limited the access to the outside world is for most Chinese, especially if they are from the generation that doesn't use any internet.
@@lubue5795agree, these parents tried way too hard for their children so that none of them realized what are the actual correct solutions for those problems.
Chinese education system is experiencing similar problems, the entrance to colleges is strictly guarded by a national exam for high school graduates, and the only way to get into a top university is to get a high score. The exam itself was aimed to test students’ abilities, not necessarily their abilities to *do the questions*. But unfortunately Chinese educators deem the exam is the only true goal, so they developed a system that forces students to spend 13 hours a day (middle-schoolers) and perhaps 15 hours in high school to learn answering exam questions.
That’s a deviation from the original purpose of the exams and it ended up in a negative strengthening cycle which only makes the students get more and more schoolwork over time.
I believe it is one of the most important problems for Chinese people, and they will solve it soon (at least in a decade).
Unfunny facts: Some students drop out of their windows due to extreme pressure. (literally, this is not funny, I don’t want to use that word)

Traditional parents who typically call their children rebellious almost always view their children as a robot with a flaw, rather than as a human being.
They always enforce discipline so they can get a specific type of child and so they can get the pre-conceived responses they want and they use all that to inform themselves on who the child is.
They’ll enforce a programmed set of desirable responses that they wanna see out of their child and anything unexpected or not in the responses makes them condemn the child, even if the response was a fundamentally good one, they will condemn them because it wasn’t the programmed one. It wasn’t the one they wanted and they do this to even extremes. Let’s say, for instance, a child wanted to be a police officer, but their parents predestined them to be doctors. For simply having an interest in being a police officer instead, they’ll likely reinforce behaviors that lead to being a doctor and condemn behaviors that even remind them of a police officer and they’ll do this for the rest of your life without any sincere attempt to empathetic understand, communicate, or hold anything other than an egocentric bias.

From what I understand is that it can be a trigger word for ppl with suicide ideation sensitivity.
"Murder" on the other word well I don't think a lot of ppl out there will get overwhelmed by an urge to go on a rampage just by hearing it.
But it might not be the case I'm no expert.

I can't even blame the kid who let his mother starve to death after being sent to one of those camps. How could someone ever trust their parents again after such a breach of trust?
"Breach of trust" is quite the understatement in all honesty.
Pretty sure that she (child) had the right idea.
The phrase "with friends like these, who needs enemies?" comes to mind, though, there isn't really any "enemies" equivalent for "parents". If parents are to provide safety and stability for their child, then, well, this mother was providing the diametric opposite, and... with her out of the way, the kid was probably better off.
Right?

As a Chinese, I really don’t understand why many parents think that success must be linked to suffering, so they create suffering even if there is no suffering, and the more suffering there is, the better the outcome will be. However, they never think about whether suffering is really linked to success and maturity.
I believe it comes from their own experience of suffering. They suffered at the hands of their own parents and of their times; yet in the end they turned out okay and perhaps even became successful in life. They then rationalise their trauma through the logic that "what doesn't kill me makes me stronger," so they believe that suffering is necessary for self-growth and success. These parents then want to replicate the conditions of their own success with their children, after all, being successful in life is universally good.

I'm half Chinese (that side's lived in Taiwan for several generations), and I've seen that. Although I also think it's the Chinese government's example with the Uighur concentration camps, and more recently how their buddies in the Kremlin are treating Russia's minorities. Except worse, because it's parent-child rather than aspirations towards the empires of yore.
The Chinese government is communist; they hold similar if not the exact same beliefs the Soviet Union once did about hard work and effort.

China is a communist country. They don't believe in freedom. The government tells you how to live your life. If you disagree then they put you in a labor camp. Just a gulag by another name. Same in every communist country. I don't concern myself with the hell that happens in China because there is nothing we can do about it.

I know somebody who was sent to one of those troubled youth camps here in the US. Place called Diamond Ranch Academy, they were tossed into simulated homelessness and forced to sit in the grueling desert sun with no water. They suffered many atrocities all the while their website showed green pastures, horse riding and more. When their parents came to visit they were mortified and thankfully pulled them out despite the camp pushing against it.
Many people who were sent there wound up commiting suicide later in life and the Ranch itself has recently shut down after several kids have died due to neglect/abuse. There are many more places like that in the US however and they are truly some of the most vile and disgusting places on the planet! Torturing and absuing troubled youth in need of help for profit. does it get any more deplorable than that.
It does, when organized and funded by government like in China and most likely NK too. God forbid if tyrannic regime in my country survives long enough to establish something similar.

As someone who probably actually has an internet addiction, it enrages me that the problem was rightfully recognized so early in China, yet that they proceeded with the worst way possible of dealing with it
There is a well codified process on diagnosing issues so that they don't pop up again, but too often people don't follow up on it either because it takes up too much work or it would lead to the discovery of some very uncomfortable truths that might end up implicating the one who asked. It's used a lot in manufacturing because failure to do so means very expensive cleanup and repair bills for the company. Yet in society, people tend to not realise what the costs of not regularly implementing root cause analysis are.
Internet addiction at its base, is but a symptom of larger societal and psychological problems that need to be addressed before the symptom of Internet addiction goes away, just like any other kind of addiction. But in the context of Chinese society, trying to get down to the root causes would have you run into some of the hardest questions that people, especially politicians, would be embarrassed to have asked of them, so it is often not done.
It's not the addiction they care about, it's submission.
I think Chinese people consider internet addiction something much lighter than what American parents say internet addiction is. Addiction is not something that's easy to define precisely. Same may think addiction starts at 3 hours a week while others say it's 10 hours a day. Considering the insane amount of strictness of asian parents those teens are not in danger of the internet probably. Or to put it in other words doing anything but studying is dangerous there, internet is just one activity that some of them can escape with from the harsh long hours of constant concentration.

I was playing Schumann's First Loss, which might be the saddest piece of piano music ever written. Suddenly, I was charged at by a gigantic young male who had a video game fixation. He ran directly at me (I am very small) and nearly knocked me off the piano bench, throwing me into the wall. Then he stopped and informed me that I "must stop playing" because he had to play video games. He required that the entire room be empty and refused to share space with anyone, insisting that he owned the entire art/exercise/music/movie room. It snowballed and was an absolute nightmare.
As a chinese, this shit is actually true. YangYongXing (which is the organizer for the electroshock torture camp) is still not being captured or sued and was living normally for the rest of his lives, and didn't face like any consequences. Which i think its really fucked up; This is scary because, still in china, there are these teen camps that captured those teens without their own will. Some of the organizer pretend their the "military" or "cops" and capture the teens offline through brutal force. And many teens are being electroshocked and faced inhumane torture, and are locked up like in prisons. There are many people actually trying to report these things to the cops, but sometimes its just effortless work.

I have been to one of these boot camps. I lived in China 10-15 years ago and was taken to one as part of a group outreach/volunteer thing. It was the middle of winter and they had no heat at all in any of the rooms other than a very small coal burning stove in the office for staff only. This was on purpose - either to save money or torture the kids, probably both. They had no hot water and in fact only had running water a few hours a day. They had to spend long hours standing or running in the courtyard - and I truly mean _hours._ If one kid got in trouble they all were punished in this way. Kids would sometimes escape but it was on a mountain in a remote area so they'd always be caught and brought back before they got anywhere. Aside from punishment, the rest of their time was spent in the classroom; they got no free time at all. And this was all because they were supposedly addicted to the internet.
Some of the other foreigners in the group I was with decided to volunteer weekly to teach the kids English, reasoning that they were the only little bright spot in the poor kids' week, at least they could try to bring a little bit of happiness to them. I, however, refused. I was furious that the group even organized the trip. That trip was basically used as a photo opportunity for the owner to get good press. And I felt like between that trip and the others going regularly, the owner would use that as a big selling point to parents. At that time and in that area of China having actual Americans, Brits, Australians, etc. teaching at your school was very prestigious. So while they might be bringing a little bit of happiness to the kids, in the long run they were enabling the school to continue to exist and attract more parents to send their kids there. I don't think I'd ever been so furious as I was on that trip, seeing the conditions the kids had to live in and knowing my presence was just going to help the owner torture more kids.
Unfortunately, you get it wrong. What you attended was a high school "军训 military training" that the Chinese government used as a nominal substitute for military service. Junior high school, senior high school and university students are required to undergo military training for one month when they just enter school.
The leader of the school you taught at may have had a problem in his mind when he invited a group of foreigners to observe military training with the connotation of national defense education. In those days, many people liked to show "international" their organization are by just adding some random foreigners in their photos.
@@williamwan3712 Yeah, no. They were specifically there because they were "addicted" to the internet or video games. Many of them had been there for months/years, they were of various ages, they did not do any military trainings or wear any military uniforms, many of them had been tricked or basically kidnapped and brought there. I have also seen the military training students go through and this wasn't that. Try not to speak about something you honestly have no clue about - it really speaks volumes about your intelligence, but unfortunately not in a good way.

When your only kid just wants to have fun, the parents often panic, because literally their ONLY lifeline to financially support the family and continue the family into the future is NOT working. Compounding this issue is the GaoKao, the university entrance exam that literally determines your entire future. One shot. No redos. Finally, these parents are from the generation that grew up through the Cultural Revolution, which was a brutal 10 year period where all societal trust was shattered, leaving the adults of today with terrible emotional regulation, trauma, and a sad willingness to want to use violence to enforce control over what they have. Put these three things together, and you have an entire society that runs on extreme anxiety and low empathy.

It’s a bit of a different culture in China. One that values conformity and collective responsibility and such

i think the issue with gaming addiction in china isnt that kids nowadays are just that lazy or that games are THAT addicting (although they can certainly suck you in) but its that these kids these PEOPLE are so incredibly stressed by the outside world in a way that they themselves might not even recognize, that the fun escapism that games are meant to provide basically becomes a heaven for them. the fact that their standard for whether someone is addicted to games is that they prefer games over studying, immediately demonizing computers and computer games, without even trying to understand the person or the technology is very telling of how that society thinks. addictions are not just physical, they are also emotional. they use games to help themselves feel better, but because the problem is still there and never fixed, they can only want more and more of what is pleasing, which is why they get addicted to games the same way someone who's very stressed might get addicted to drugs, tobacco/nicotine, or alcohol. the problem is not games or the children. the problem is a society that is expecting more and more, wanting these people to be better than perfect and for them to act like robots. they're now so desperate to escape those expectations that the emotional pleasure games give them are comparable to the pleasure you feel from taking actual drugs.
Exactly. It's the same like the drug epidemics in the west. Instead of fighting the reason why people abuse drugs in the first place they just fight the drugs. That's like ignoring a broken leg and only swallowing painkillers instead of taking care of the broken leg.
This makes me assume that it's not really about health but submission. To create obedient worker drones that serve the government's interest, even if the worker drones die in the process.
@@laaaliiiluuu i genuinely dont think its a conspiracy like that, but i certainly do think that the parents just have absolutely NO clue what is actually wrong since there is so much misinformation that is pushed by nearly all other adults, government and professionals included. parents want their kid to be healthy, but fail to realize that the real issue is not a mysterious hypnotizing computer game, but the horrific conditions of stress that these children are subject to. and they think this because they're constantly engrossed in the idea that studying harder is ALWAYS good, so unless something big happens to truly open their eyes, they refuse to think of the possibility that the insane academic pressure is the real issue. the obsession with academics is a deep rooted cultural and historical thing too, so i can understand why this would be the case, and so i hope that chinese society can open their minds to a deeper understanding of our problems soon, and not let this kind of thing haunt us.

@@delta-1 nope! or well, its not that simple at least. imo, the misinformation isnt spread maliciously, at least not in the vast majority of cases. however, people do try to capitalize off of the issue, BUT this is often because they themselves are also misinformed people who truly believe in that kind of stuff, so much that they get very cruel with their methods of "fixing" these children. the misinformation issue is very serious in east asia, likely because iirc this technology comes from the west, and bc people don't understand it and also don't want to take the westerns' word for some things (much of the older generations think westerners are stupid, etc and thats why they think how they do) they instead treat this tech and the reactions to it with some level of paranoia. bc they don't think anything can be wrong with their own society (cognitive bias), they instead assume that stuff like video games are some sort of horrible "magical drug" that has ruined their children and even many adults when really it IS the societal norms that are at fault here.
Uncle Yang: "I want to resolve a major problem that leads the youth to violence"
also Uncle Yang: *encourages youth to be violent to each other*
also Yang and his "experts" alluded to a possible outcome of internet influence being murder then refers broadly to increased crime rates as support for his claims.
a lot of crimes are small things where whether or not they are prosecuted is left to the discretion of the supposed victims which means it is influenced by the victims' perceptions.
now imagine 2 people commit the same crime but 1 is an athlete and the other is constantly on the internet. which one do you think will be reported by these adults who have a negative opinion about the internet.
if he wants to bolster his claims then he should narrow the crime stats to the murder rates or at least to felonies where law enforcement always takes it seriously then we can see if it is really worse.

I'm really interessted where China will be in 10-20 years when all these traumatized children have become adults and are the ones deciding how things should be.
there are enough people in the country who havent gone to these camps that these troubled adults could easily just be forgotten by society. china is big enough that ccp elites who run the gov won't be affected at all and there will still be more than enough people who haven't had their lives destroyed in the camps to be picked to become lower party members who carry out the orders and rise through the ranks
Itll probably still suck because the CCP has that 1984 shit going on.
they will join army.
Nah, they could only decide nothing
These kids most likely will not get to decide on anything. There's always rich second gens that get political powers through nepotism. Possibilities are almost completely closed down on regular people.
Unfortunately, it really happened to me half a year ago, but it destroyed everything and caused me immense pain. I reported it to the police while I was in the internet addiction treatment school, but they chose to ignore it. After I got out of the school, I also reported the school to the police, but they still chose to ignore it and threatened to detain me, forcing me to delete the videos I took of the school and warning me not to post them online. When I needed help, the Chinese government chose to ignore it and prevented me from revealing the truth. I firmly believe that such a government will eventually perish.

To clarify and add on, "Uncle Yang" 羊叔 is a derogatory title to Yang Yongxin. It literally translates to "sheep uncle, " coined because the character for "sheep," yang, has the same pronunciation as his last name. He has a similar nickname 羊叫兽 (Yang Jiaoshou)，which sounds exactly like "Professor Yang," except jiaoshou here doesn't mean professor, but "noisy animal." The majority of the Chinese netizens today refer to him as a devil, which is even noted on his Baidu page (think of it as the Chinese version of Wikipedia).
I am extremely disappointed that he managed to get away with everything he has done. Justice has not been served, and I can only hope that one day I'll see him pay for his actions.

Thousands of children are in programs like this in the US as we speak. There are frequent deaths and claims of abuse, yet somehow they're allowed to legally operate with little to no oversight from the state. Parents are lied to, often not allowed to communicate with their children for months at a time, and many children come out permanently traumatized and end up homeless or in prison.

When I was at a UK university, I wrote an essay which argued that counter to the major academic claims, there is no great faceless 'machine' that disappears people, instead there exists vast swathes of complicit human beings who wilfully organise the torture of their own; suggesting there is a deep, cultural problem with the Chinese people that if left unchecked, would create torture and concentration camps to come into existence.
My professor, a witness to the Tiananmen Sq. massacre, who was known to be heavily sponsored by the CCP, said the the theory was nonsense, my viewpoint was colonialist and that such travesties would never happen in the modern age.
Watching this documentary and looking at what is happening in Xinxiang, I've never been happy to have been proven right and still, that professor has never changed her stance.
Sounds very interesting. Can your essay be read anywhere?
This is not unique to China as you know.
@elizabethsohler6516 tfw America did the same shit a couple years back and it's a "deep, cultural problem with the Chinese people".
There is a book/movies called „The wave“ (Die Welle). It‘s fictional, but touches on dangerous social dynamics and how they can take on a life on it’s own. Basically a home room teacher is faced with somewhat dismissive students when teaching about WW2. They can’t really empathize with why people would have followed Hitler so easily, never really spoke up about the concentration camps and don’t think this would ever be possible today. So the teacher decides to do an experiment in which he re-creates similar social dynamics used during the reign of The Third Reich and of course it takes on a life on it‘s own.
Basically first establishing an „us“ vs „them“, then introducing incentives to belong to the „us“, and then slowly punishing „them“ for not being like „us“.
People who followed the NaZi Party and where part of organisations like the Hitlerjugend benefited greatly from social mobility and a sense of directions and belonging while people wo spoke out against the regime or even helped the jews/foreigners/cripples were punished or „disappeared“ themselves. So yes, in that sense, humans create and enforce their own „imprisonment and torcher“ by being complicit. But it also raises the moral/ethical question of: how much is it actually a choice? At what point can complicity still be considered a choice if the (perceived) alternative is social (and/or literal) death??“
And I think that‘s the point here: the actual or perceived alternative a person THINKS they have. And that is often directed by a „faceless dark entity“ aka fear.
This idea really applies to both, the prisoners (the ones in good standing helped punishing the ones in bad standing to stay in good standing aka they were conplicit to avoid punishment themselves) as well as the parents (parents decided to turn a blind eye thinking ‚what is a short amount of pain for my kid’ vs. the (perceived) alternative of being a decade long outlier to chinese society.
Not trying to excuse the parents behavior here, but there can be an argument made that if the system (aka faceless entity) were different, parents would not fear suffering under Chinese society and the incentive to send their kids to camps like that would not exist.
Not sure if that touched at all on your essay. My point is that simply because Humans „decide“ to create their own prisons, it does not mean that there is not a „faceless entity“ pulling the strings willing them into action.

I'm from Goa, my case was a bit different. My grades were fine and all and there were no issues at school. It was just that my parents felt it was their right to control every aspect of my life and I did not comply. They initially sent me to a psychiatrist to see if anything was wrong and when they did not get the results they wanted they took matters in their own. It was mental torture at first, began with public belittling, insulting beating with almost anything they could get their hands on especially metal rods. When this didn't work, they being the religious nuts that they were put me through more than 3 hours of exorcism, where they bound me to a bed and had those catholic priests carry out their crap. After this they even tried hypnotherapy. I survived through all this torture, but was transferred to boarding school in another state where they made sure to have full control of my life without my knowledge. After finding out, I made a vow that I would never forgive them even if they were dying in front of me. Later I managed to escape that hellhole by getting accepted in the UK to complete my masters.

I understand that it is more significant when you’re a child, but it’s still insane

My girlfriend is an MTF. She once had to go through this institution where she endured all sorts of torture. They kept her awake for days, deprived her of food, and wouldn't even let her drink water. There were so many other victims there, but they only provided a small amount of food, so most people went hungry.
For other reasons, they forced my girlfriend to take massive doses of androgens and growth hormones. This messed up her hormones badly, causing ulcers to break out all over her body. If I remember correctly, they even executed a victim in front of many others in that place.
When my girlfriend got out, she was left with severe PTSD, depression, and anxiety. The horrors she went through still haunt her to this day.

When my dad shared that news to my relatives, their common reaction was, "WHAT? HOW! HE PLAYS VIDEO GAMES SO OFTEN! HE SHOULD SUCK AT STUDYING! I THOUGHT HE COULDN'T EVEN GET INTO A COLLEGE!

Disclaimer, as a Chinese, my English may contain grammar mistakes, point it out and I'm willing to correct it ；D
Many Chinese parents would rather send their poor kids to these "totally legitimate compounds" rather than claiming their wrong way of education (Extremely high study pressure) casuing their kids to a point where the children tried to escape reality (through playing games).
The parents would rather their kids to be corrected the most brutal way possible in the camps than having a talk with their kids and acknowledge their difficulties. What a shame...

Average Sinophobic comment:
the west is really biased against China. There is only one voice--an anti-China one--in the west now, but any other voice is banned, and anyone who said such kind of words is punished.
French professor Christian Mestre at the University of Strasbourg once visited Xinjiang in 2019. He conducted independent investigations in many places there, talked with many Uyghurs, and later concluded that it was important for the Chinese government to take such measures to fight against terrorism.
He also said that terrorism is a very serious problem in France and that France should learn from China to take such measures.
He said so two years ago, but the professor recently had problems. Journalist Jérémy André Florès at “La Opinión” complained Prof. Mestre of saying so.
Why does Mr. Florès accuse Prof. Mestre of supporting China? Because Prof. Mestre is currently serving as the ethics officer for the Eurometropolis project in which the city of Strasbourg is involved, and the city is debating whether to allow Huawei's 5G project to deploy in the city.
See? In order to stop Huawei from entering the European market, Mr. Florès brought up the past to take down Prof. Mestre.

Unfortunately we live in a world where many children are seen as an investment or an object that the parents decide the fate of.
Thanks for making these awesome videos for us Fern. So excited to watch it and learn more. Always a pleasure! :)

This show you that the government never knows better.
This is a private company though.
It's always miserable to be made aware of the ignorance of the masses and the government. Even more frustrating is how superficial the idea of "success" is in the mind of adults; how it is only reflected in grades and later the salary, social standing or work position of a person.

As a Chinese, I'm glad somebody finally make video about this topic ,revealing this darkness
感谢你做这个视频，做的挺好的
Thank you for making this video, its pretty good
Yeah it’s dark
Such a bad idea for parents. Even if you force the kids into behaving differently, that doesn't mean they are going to be happy with you about it. When you are old, why will they take care of you after that mistreatment?
So the troubled teen industry is worldwide…
I see you fellow ace 💪😤

Fern, the world is a better place with your videos. Thank you.
As a teen who struggled with mental health issues in the 2000s, I used computers and video games a lot as an escape. I didn't have today's Internet back then, and I wasn't into multiplayer games, but it was still bad. I could've been one of these unfortunate teens; I seriously doubt I'd survive.
I did get treatment later in college. While it wasn't as bad as this, it was still rough. I bumped into "bad apples" in the psych field outside of these camps that could do more harm than good, and educating my Filipino parents was (and still is) tough. But I'm gotten thru it and gotten better. And I now advocate for not just proper and accessible MH treatment but also MH education, which I think would resolve/prevent a lot of problems.
MH?

My best friend (now adopted sister) got sent off to a extreme religious school for "Soul Therapy" for questioning their families religion by asking the harder questions in the bible, thats was it. It was not a boarding school like her parents told her, it was a compound in a different state. But luckily it was escapable one but if she left she would be excommunicated instantly. She had managed to hide the phone she had in secret, she had it for a long time then as the situation with her church was turning sour long ago an this cellphone was her lifeline. We had planned once her brother turned 18 we were going to get them both but then this happened an tossed a wrench into things but we still got her brother later on. The evil things she an her brother went through they still struggle telling us to this day. The things they went through was insanely abusive and that's before she ever got tossed in the torture school. But they are with us and actually thriving an I am so grateful to have them as family.
Whewie.. All why do parents of my religion have to be so messed up? If you dont know, you dont know. They were being very pissy. :/
As a Kid In the Internet from the Philippines, I am fortunately safe from what’s happening at China and enjoying my time here
Same here from Texas
@@sgujuhgftyyuyy You just have good parents. If your parents wanted to, they can just throw u in a troubled teen camp and get the same treatment.

You kinda being ROMANTICAL here, “buddy”
There is lots of child trafficking video about Philippines.
This is one of the best channels on the platform you make insanely high quality vids thank you so much for all of this thank you to the fern team
When faced with your child who is "acting out," do you 1) Get on their level, connect with them, and try to understand their behavior, or 2) Just hire someone to kidnap and traumatize them into doing what you want? The answer isn't quite so obvious!
I was wondering what type of torture methods the doctor was using in room 13. Electoshock therapy definitely caught me off guard. Then to hear that it was done for minutes with no anesthesia really got me. Those poor kids that had to go through that. Electroshock therapy can be known to leave the patient with serious side effects in some cases. One of the side effects is memory loss, which is kinda ironic. You worry about your kid spending too much time on the computer and not studying. To then send him to a juvenile detention center (what they really are) where they can end up with brain damage, which could permanently affect their learning and memory. Fear really makes you do illogical things.
This shows why the freedom of press is so important
This happens in Utah, USA as well!
There isn’t any in the west
Which is why Assange was locked up for 12 years and Snowden is still in exile 😂
@@Bell_plejdo568p nice try wumao
You seem to have misunderstood. This matter is well known in China. The reversal of the verdict was made in the past 10 years, because 20 years ago, children did not have the ability and status to speak out for themselves. At that time, the entire society was not interested in emerging things like the Internet. They all expressed disgust, which is still common even now.

I was in Jinan recently and I actually was able to see this school as well as the international school. The contrast is huge.
"You tired of parenting? Here, let a doctor do it instead! Surely that will work better!"
What is happening is parents lacking common sense, falling prey to predators and paying for the privilege literally and metaphorically.
