Would love to hear hear your thoughts on this...
The Hui (回) 'ethnic minority' are basically 'ethnic Han' Chinese who are Muslim. I said 'ethnic Han' Chinese because not not all Han Chinese who consider themselves Han are actually Han. E.g. the Yue people of the south or the Xianbei people (matriarchal line of Tang dynasty emperors) of the north were sinicized hundreds of years ago. Ethnicity in China is complicated because of its long history.
The Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) are instruments of power and rule - they are logically constructed heresies. A solitary god (YHWH, God, Allah ...) is a fictional figure - a personification of the light energy and with that you can of course say anything and persuade the common people to be a collective superego. "Light energy (God) is everywhere and created everything." But actually it was and is about baiting people, leading people, shaping them and keeping them intellectually small - it's about creating ingroups and using these groups of people. The common people are lured with festivals and this instrument of power and rule is sold to the common people as something good. Let us remember: Millions of people died because of these logically constructed heresies (Judaism, Christianity, Islam ...) ... history has been falsified, knowledge censored ... and so we are currently still living in this induced collective madness and do not realize that it is a perfidious instrument of power and domination.

I’m from Inner Mongolia and living in New Zealand now. Since I was little I remembered it was the government’s rule that all the stores have to have Mongolian language as well as Mandarin as signs. The government wants all people to be able to communicate in one language but still protecting minority’s language and legacy.

Of the millions of Muslims in China that Barret could choose to interview, why would he select Abby given all her political baggage? Afterall Abby's real name is Xinmeng Yang and works for the Chinese state media CGTN. It's right on her Linked-in profile! This means she must abide by the Chinese government narrative as mandated by her employer. Just hearing her American accent (as oppose to a mainland Chinese accent) should be a dead giveaway that she is not your typical Muslim in China. I checked Abby's Facebook page, Instagram, Twitter and Linkedin and found that she lived in the US from 2014~2020 and graduated from Syracuse University in upstate New York and once worked for ABC News! She even did a news report on a Walgreens and CVS in New York during the pandemic! Her pictures shows she travels all over the US and China including celebrating Chinese New years with dumplings (usually made with Pork). Such information really discredits Barrett's interview as she's nowhere close to being a typical practicing Muslim in China. I'm sure there are many other qualified Muslims that Barrett could have selected to interview instead.
My university roommate is a very devout Muslim. She prays in the dormitory and spends Ramadan. We do not disturb each other and live in harmony. Everything is natural because we understand each other. I am from Gansu, China

@Eric PengFrom your comment alone, l I feel like you don’t know much about the Muslims in China. I would suggest you watch some videos of Chinese Muslim youtubers or vloggers to learn more about them.
To be honest, you really don’t understand China, and I can’t blame you. After all, you have never been to China. You are welcome to travel to China. Going to see it will change your current opinion. I don’t want to refute you. Let’s talk about dumplings. , Chinese dumplings have different fillings, the most common ones are pork filling, shiitake mushroom filling, leek filling, cabbage filling, and there are many other materials you want to mix. You can go to your local Chinese supermarket to inquire about this. knew. So, you really don't understand China. I am also a minority, called the Shui nationality, with my own culture and writing. The country has established an intangible cultural heritage to protect the writing and inheritance of our Shui nationality. An old lady of our Shui nationality was personally interviewed by Mao Zedong. So China is better than any other country in protecting the traditional culture of ethnic minorities. My hometown is Sandu Shui Autonomous County, Guizhou Province. You can check it on Baidu or Google.
If compare the Muslim’s situation in the US and UK, Chinese muslims are really well protected and respected by the Chinese government and common people. Thank you Lee for this wonderful interview👍
The trouble of some minority of the muslim community. Here in EUROPE .
1】 They try to halalized others, by demanding, to ban non halal food in the school cantine, or informing non muslim community,≈ the host community, that they should embrace islam as a way of life.
2】 Even during an AE= Accident Emergency cases, they demands, that the examination diagnosis should be carried out by a women doctor, in case of physical cum ckinical examination of their daughters or wife. I am an EA doctor during my internship....
Barrett, as a Chinese living in Hong Kong we really appreciate all the video you do for China to help more westerns to know the true China is.! Thank you so much and wish you all the best. Thank you 🙏🏻
Agree 😉
And as a Brit living in Hong Kong, same. Really appreciate everything Barrett does for standing up for the truth and against the rhetoric
@Eric Peng why don't you do this interview with these millions of Muslims, instead of repeating the same accusations we've heard on mass media without any substantial and verifiable proof? Doesn't it bother you that you have one finger always pointing at others while four other fingers pointing at you? I think most people like you are only projecting their inner mindset on other people.
Prior to visiting China, I also had a wrong impression about China, but after my visit, it became apparent to me that our western governments are merely spreading propaganda. Free your mind and find your humanity once again, it will help you and the entire world to promote peace and co-existance.
@Eric Peng It may not be the perfect choice. But it doesn't legitimize the message in this video. The very fact that she is a Muslim and works for CGTN speaks a lot. It is important that she speaks the truth from the point of view of a Muslim living in China, in respect to what kind of work she does. I guess that Lee chose her because of the convenience of the location (together in a conference) and ease of communication (she is fluent English speaker)
in China，not only Mandarin is taught in every school，but also English，why the BBCs not blaming on that？
Yes you can go anywhere in the world and get by with English but not mandarin ,where ever I travel in the world English is used,you are very wise learning English at school as a second language, and the combination of English and mandarin will help I'm sure in your career 👍
@@tww5719 not the case why he mentioned. The thing is the west is blaming China of teaching Chinese to minorities. Why they don’t blame Chinese schools also teach minorities English? Use your brain
@@tww5719 Learning Mandarin allows you to travel and make a living easier all over China. Not everyone in China works abroad, travel is not the centerpiece of every single civilian's everyday life. By the way, Mandarin is a bridge between all Chinese dialects. Even the Beijing dialect is different from proper Mandarin.
@@Richard-dd3mm use my brain,use yours and understand what my comment was about,nothing to do what was said on the vid or the political side ,it was my opinion or am I not allowed an opinion
In China, Mandarin is national language. It just normal to teach national language. Mother tongue could be a subject specific to the kid interest..

Hi Barrett, among all your amazing videos, I love this the most. I am also a minority (not Islamic though) in China and grow up in northwestern China. My family and I have all kinds of minority friends, and we just get along with each other. Even more interesting regarding the Mosque, there are many in my hometown. During the pray day, since there are so many believers, the government block a road to take care of the overflow of people. Not only don't we destroy Mosque, but we also think they are landmarks of the city~! People, seriously, if you have not been to China, do not judge us~! If you have to judge us, at least do your duo diligence to visit China so that you can judge us on the right spot~!
I am from Yanji city Jilin province China,my city speak Korean language and Mandarin as well.We have no problems at all.We are really really happy .We are proud of being Chinese.
Tell me. China is not attacking muslims
@@stella6901 Yeah ,our city have many Muslim people .Some of them are my friends or classmates .They are happy.And we are not living in the 500years ago .Close mind.Why we are attacking each other for what ?Just one thing is common that you know I feel the big city’s people they most feels like they are more confidence than us .Cause we are from small city not rich as them …but I guess this happens everywhere all over the world .always the big city people feels some advantages.But it is not the religion issues.Someone try to made up some shit trying to make problems.I don’t like it .We have more important thing to do .Besides we are all Chinese .For no reasons to judges other people ‘s religion.China is a open religion country .Trust me when I leave this comment here will definitely have lots of people attacking me .But Believe me or not .whatever they think I am talking bullshit .When the borders open,come to China have a look .Everything will be in front of your eyes to prove I am talking the truth or not .Thank you

@@stella6901 Lol where you see this. Just show evidence. You think if West had concrete truth they would not show real video evidence of proof of it. Instead of hearsay from questionable sources.
China prides itself with its ethnic minority policies. When the one-child policy was introduced in 1979, the 55 ethnic minorities in China were exempted from it, and were allowed to have more than one child, while the majority Han under the policy was only allowed one child. The ethnic minorities are allowed a lower score for university intakes than the majority Han. There are 5 self-autonomy provinces, 77 self-autonomy states, and 705 self-autonomy counties in China. In these administrative regions where there are substantial number of minorities, the chief officer has to be one from the local ethnic minorities.
Street signs have to be written in both Mandarin and the local languages. In schools, the ethnical languages are taught along with Mandarin.
Now, where are the lands of the Pueblos, Navajo, Hopi, and Mojave tribes in North America? And who rule the states of the aborigines in Australia?
The world should learn how to protect the ethic minorities like China!
Great in-depth knowledge, thanks Ms Abby for telling the world but the west choose to ignore the real facts of China. They don't want to understand that China one child policy only for the Han Chinese. The other 56 minority enjoys extra privileges. This Western world have a failed so call democratic system. Yet they want to force it on to other countries. They always shout about human rights, they have killed , murdered millions and millions of people including women and children on all the countries they have invaded. They also shout about Xinjiang force labour. China should bring them to ICJ for their Atrocities and Genocide for their " "FORCE DEMOCRACY" on to others.
USA , UK, CANADA, AUSTRALIA and those western COLONISERS should be trial for genocides.👺👿👹☠️

笑了，中国这种自贱式的民族政策恶心自己就算了，还想恶心别国？宪法规定民族平等，你所自豪的这些都是违宪法的。从政策和法律上歧视主体民族，會得到短暂的道德优越感，但对国家长久来说是动乱的根源。
That’s why I never believe that the western media reported that the Chinese government genocide the minority in China

The main reason why the USA western media falsely accuses CHINA of mistreating Uyghur Muslims is because they want to prevent the 1.6 Billion Chinese worldwide and 2.0 Billion Muslims from working together. Both these groups have been discriminated by USA and the WEST for decades and are more likely to work together. Chinese & Muslim nations working together will lead to US losing its dominance of the world. Plus this will gain Asia, Russia, Eastern Europe and African support too including the rest of the world such as Latin America.
@@jameslim3850 Exactly!!! The USA regime is Islamophobic and Sinophobic. They should just admit it.
My wife's home is just living next to Ox street(牛街）. And there is a mosque on the street and a muslim academy next to which is a Buddism temple 法源寺(And all these are located in the city center of Beijing). So harmoniusly! It wont happen in west, right? Just imagine, can you find a mosque and a mosque academy and other religion school located equally in the center of London or DC or Paris？

I live in Australia and have a Chinese Muslim friend from Qinghai China, I asked her about the treatment of the Muslim in China, she said the Muslim are teated better than the Han people, they get free education, free health and allowed to have more than 1 child.
Be more accurate: These policies depend on the ethnicities and regions, not religions.
I had Muslim class mates in all schools I attended in China, some of these Muslim classmates I still keep in touch on wechat. They are just having normal life like Han Chinese except I remember as minority they did get some special financial benefits from government as well as extra points when applying for university. They were indeed allowed to have 2 children during the time of one child policy. Since we were in primary school we were told that all ethnic groups in China were sisters and brothers and were equal. Western media are not telling the truth, they are so powerful and successful in telling lies and brainwashing people on the Muslim issues in China, this world is just mad and unbelievable.

In China all ethnicities are equal. But some ethnicities are more equal than others.
When I was in Panjin, Shenyang, I was drawn to this huge beautiful mosque so my wife and I went for a closer look. There were two older attendants inside. I asked one of them how the building was paid for. He told us there were only 35 Muslim families in the city and the Chinese government paid for construction. How is that for suppression of the Muslims?
When I was a child, I lived in a small town. There has a street are Muslims, we study in a same school, there's several Muslims in my class, we get along well, we don't think there's any problem at all.
Now i still have Muslim friends, when we go out to eat together, we just go to Muslim restaurant.
Having ethnic minorities in our daily lives is NEVER an issue. It is just a normal thing to have. That idea of distinguishing the “minorities” vs “majority” on daily basis (or even become someone’s most important identity) is so foreign and un-natural. I’ve had Miao 苗, Hui 回, Uighur 维吾尔，Chaoxian 朝鲜, Meng 蒙, Man 满 classmates through out my school years, never had anyone made a fuss about it. We all knew about it, and respect their respective cultures, but this aspect is never a centrepiece (or anywhere near to it) of any of our relationships. It seems to me that Western countries (US especially) love to projecting their own social problems on to China. They have the tendency of splitting ppl into different categories (whether it is the race, the religion, or anything else), so they maybe thought, “oh, China must be also doing this!” It is just absurd.
Appreciate your sincerity,. I was in Taiwan for many years and the attitudes their are the same as you describe... Thank you!
they want to split up the identities and create unrest within china due to weakened unity. HK is a prime example.
The west have been known to use divide and conquer technique for centuries on lands that they colonized. They know they will not succeed if the people of the land unite against them. There are so many examples though out the mankind history. And US is using the same method again. They tried to create problems in HK, and Taiwan and Xinjiang. They will not stop for sure.
growing up in China, I had no thoughts about ethics minorities. The "difference" between han and others were not even a topic. The equity mindset is deep in Chinese mind. However, until I traveled and studied aboard I realized there is such thing called "racism" in other country. To me, it's already very ignorant and childish and uncivilized to even make it a topic to discuss.
没错，中国人不管哪个民族都是兄弟姐妹一样相处的
In 1980s, I've been to Xian, Beijing....I find lots of Muslim resturants there. It's interesting to me, cause I've never seen one in Hong Kong.
Also, I find lots of muslim books in the bookstore, I've brought one which was some teaching and advise to the daily life of Muslims, to maintain ones health, harmony in family and society, and peacefulness in ones mind. It was scientific, kind and mild. My knowledge and respect to Muslims was started in China.
May be partly because Hong Kong was a British colony?
There are at least 3 mosques in HK. Used to be a few thousand Chinese Muslims few decades ago. Seems that the newer generations became more and more assimilated.
Hk has quite a few islam noodle shops, they are delicious.
@@DukeLM , I have a friend whose grand parents are Miao people (苗族） from southern China, their family was Muslim.
HK has them but they are not that obvious since they are more like HK Muslim not Muslim restaurant. And nobody cares except the food.
I lived in Beijing. There is a street name is "cattle street" "牛街”. Most residents are "Hui". "Hui" is a general name for Muslim's in Chinese . My familie still go to the street to buy lamb sheets for hot pot. We believe the lamb sold over there is the best.
I grew up in a court yard in Beijing and have a neighbour lived at our next-door, they are Hui. We are still friend. I still remember my mom put vegetables on pork top to cover it when she was back from shopping pass their door. I still remember what my mom said when I asked why: " Show respect to their religion. Hui doesn't eat port. Carrying pork in front of them is not right. respect others, others will respect us". That is how Chinese respect each other even they have different belief.
Wow, your mom is so respectful! She must be great teacher for you too. Love and respect for the kind lady.

She is so pretty! In China, almost every university has dedicated restaurants and dining halls for Muslims since their eating habits are completely different with other groups of people, like they typically don't eat pork.
Yes, you are quite right. When I was in college, there is an islamic canteen for muslims. The working stuff of that canteen also are muslims. It's allowed nonmusilms to eat inside and totally respect their habits eg. no outside food taken inside and no pork.
Actually. Most Han people like Muslim foods.
And they also cant drink alcohols
My kids were grownups in France,but I have never heard if there were an muslin canteen in there school or colleges!
I'm Hanging. I love Islamic food. I ate too often in the Islamic canteen of my college. I made so many Muslim friends because of that.
Minorities in many countries are “encouraged” / “forced” to give up their culture and practices. In China, minorities are encouraged to continue with their cultures and practices and are well respected by the Han Chinese and the government. That’s how minorities should be allowed to live.
Canada finally admitted to genocide of their native people. In the most recent disclosure, more than 200 children were taken away from their parents and placed in a school where they were abused, raped and died under white colonialists.

There was never a concept of Han vs. other ethnicities until the West came in and started this anti-China campaign. We are all just Chinese.

One of my wife's best friends is a Mongolian Muslim from Inner Mongolia, Hohhot, she speaks exactly the same way as Abby and has exactly the same experiences - She's currently back in Hohhot, but next time she's in Zhongshan, I will sit down and put the camera on her for a similar discussion. Like Abby, for her it's more dietary and lifestyle rather than religion but she did confide in me once that she hopes she can marry a Muslim man too.
On our travels through Ningxia and Gansu we met Hui Muslims every single day. In fact Ningxia isn't even a province its properly called the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region and there are mosques in every little town and village.
I didn't know there were Muslims even in inner Mongolia!
@@autumnicleaf Indeed there are many, the Northern border of Ningxia, which is a Hui Autonomous region, and the Southern border of Inner Mongolia is a very fluid area people from both regions mix and mingle. Our friend is ethnically Mongolian, I would assume a convert from several generations back, but I've never asked. I will when I see her next.
@@jerrygrey5606- If you do ask her, please post your finds. So little is known about Chinese, now Mongolian Muslims to the outside world. Despite being a minority, they played a major part, as far as I know, in critical phases of Chinese history. I believe, at least 3 of 4 Chinese generals who led the Ming army against the Yuan, were Muslims; but their were many Muslims who also fought for the Yuan. Many fought in the Boxer rebellion also, and great admiral Zheng Hu (Chung Ho) was also a Muslim.
I will
@@jerrygrey5606 - Thank you so much.
Chinese are generally tolerant as they cherish the country's diversity.
1989 Tiananmen Square ? Oh wait sorry 😂😂😂😂😜😜😜😜😜😜💀💀💀💀💀💀
@@chuggynation8275 haha. Tell me about how many black lives dead past decade years? No one country is perfect.China definitely did good job better than other countries. It’s a pity you didn’t have much knowledge about whole picture what happened in the world
So proud of her in hearing she said she's proud to be Muslin Chinese. Whereas in the West and States some of the Chinese are refused to acknowledge their roots, so as the little HK and Taiwan, so sad. BTW, this interview should be broadcasted by major medias like, BBC and CNN, don't you think? Great job about this interview, keep up the great work!
2 days ago on BBC there was a report on western vlog doing disinformation for ccp, and Barrett was identified as one of the vlog.
@@oberstleutnant787 It’s true but was not properly explained by the BBC. Barrett has said in other videos that he and his son receive money for travel, accommodations, and activities from organizations that are 100% funded by the CCP. Sure, they may not have an agreement that forces them to praise China. However, if they say some that’s critical Barrett and his son will receive no money going forward.
Of the millions of Muslims in China that Barret could choose to interview, why would he select Abby given all her political baggage? Afterall Abby's real name is Xinmeng Yang and works for the Chinese state media CGTN. It's right on her Linked-in profile! This means she must abide by the Chinese government narrative as mandated by her employer. Just hearing her American accent (as oppose to a mainland Chinese accent) should be a dead giveaway that she is not your typical Muslim in China. I checked Abby's Facebook page, Instagram, Twitter and Linkedin and found that she lived in the US from 2014~2020 and graduated from Syracuse University in upstate New York and once worked for ABC News! She even did a news report on a Walgreens and CVS in New York during the pandemic! Her pictures shows she travels all over the US and China including celebrating Chinese New years with dumplings (usually made with Pork). Such information really discredits Barrett's interview as she's nowhere close to being a typical practicing Muslim in China. I'm sure there are many other qualified Muslims that Barrett could have selected to interview instead.
Wow! I'm a Muslim American, and will admit, as much as I distrust the mainstream media, I bought a bit into the 'Chinese Anti-Muslim' narrative. We know ALL groups of people have some bad doing things, so there could be some areas where there is mistreatment, but they are trying to make it seem like it's all of China. I feel much better hearing this woman's story. I think deep down, most of us are able to co-exist with each other, even while disagreeing, because we all want similar things in life! Happiness, good health, wealth, safety, and freedom to worship what we choose. Thanks for sharing this! (I do have to mention that I was questioning why all of a sudden the Western powers were so worried about Muslims with this specific coverage? lol)
穆斯林真事逼，你了解中国吗就在这造谣，美国人怎么不死啊。傻逼东西，祝愿美国穆斯林全部癌症晚期出门被车撞死。
Very easy. Xinjiang’s oil fields are of great interest to the US. Follow the oil trail and you will find the answer. Easter Ukraine has oil and when Donbas region voted for independence in 2014, it led to regime change and the bombing of this part by subsequent regimes and esp during Zelensky the comedian’s watch he did not hesitate to systematically bomb out this part. After Russia stepped in, Zelensky immediately signed oil fields away to Exxon Mobil and large swathes of properties to Black Rock. In Xinjiang, US sponsors 4 terrorist organisations to destabilise Xinjiang while using MSM disinformation to malign China. Ever wondered why the great Muslim nations in Middle East including UN have all gone to Xinjiang and found no evidence of ethnic oppression.
Thank you Barrett for giving such great information to the world.
The truth can and will demolish.untruth and lies eventually. Yours is a heartwarming effort in promoting race and religious harmony.
Race and religious harmony while the graves of the dead are dug up. Nice humanity. I am not Muslim, and I am very angry. because you people who believe this are sub human.
@@leealan6416 Keep being brainwashed by western news Muslim's aren't opressed in China
@@leealan6416 As a Chinese, a world citizen, I wish you allow yourself to seeing China with your real eyes, and giving your mindless speech with the real data! Please
I am Man Minority （满族）、 and I got 10 score on my college entrance exam. Our government gave and is giving us lot of priority policy to the minorities. Somehow they even encourage us to be more stronger. I have been to Xinjiang and Tibet several times, our government really helps them lot, I am very jealous why I am not born in Xinjiang or Tibet.

Great interview Barrett !!! Let more people know more and the TRUTH !
That was very enlightening Lee. Nice interview!
I’m struggling to see the ethnic genocide I read in the papers and we debate in NZ parliament…. I think our politicians need to travel to China and see for themselves before accusing them of human rights abuses.
I traveled to Gansu 5 years ago and had such a great time eating halal food. The Muslim minority there seemed to be well integrated. I had no worries mingling with them.
I fully agree what she said. I grew up in Tianjin, I had many Muslim classmates, they were all as happy as we did, and they all enjoy extra privilege.
This video has really opened my eyes regarding the minority community in China.
Yes, there were a couple of classmates of mine in university who are Muslims, also we have Halal restaurants in campus. I still recall the tasty lamb soup and beef pancake of the halal restaurants even 20 years past.
我印象里西安一个非常有名的地方就叫回民街吧，里面都是以清真穆斯林的饮食习惯做小吃来吸引游客的。西方说中国政府迫害穆斯林在我看来真的是非常荒唐的一件事。
回族很神奇，他们有穆斯林的习俗，但是有汉人的名字。比如，马，杨之类的。不知道哪里来的。😂😂😂
哪个城市基本都有回民街
@@user-il1tr1jq4z 很正常，古时候，外族迁徙到中原很快就被同化了
西方说的种族灭绝在我们14亿中国人听来是件及其荒唐的事情！

Love your videos Barrett! Regarding minorities, I would like to share something: because the policy is preferable, quite a lot of Chinese choose to register as a minority instead of Han when they are qualified for both. One example being my best friend from uni, she is 1/4 minority (a group called Man) and she chose to register Man as the race in her ID card. Also her parents, as a Man family, have three children, while Han family like mine only has one. Therefore I was shocked when some western media says China “genocide” the minorities. It is just so insane that I don’t know where to start the correction.
So happy knowing my muslim brothers and sisters have a good and beautiful life with another communities.
Thank you for presenting China for who she really is. Hope more Westerners can visit China and explore the culture & business opportunities
China's ethnic policy is the best in the world, not one of them. This policy is not a temporary remedy or bribery, but to promote the understanding and integration of various ethnic groups. This stems from China's long history of national exchanges and integration, and the West is still very barbaric compared to Chinese civilization. It's normal to be unable to understand and face up.
在出国以前，我从没有种族歧视的概念，少数民族在中国有各种优惠政策，我还羡慕呢。包括高考，任职，当官，生育，连工资都有特别补贴。
说的太对了，我在国内的时候从小到大都没注意过少数民族这个事情，因为实在觉得是很平常一件事，就算班级里有少数民族同学，也都没特别注意到过有啥不同呢！感觉就都是中国人有啥可特别注意的！知道到了加拿大才知道原来种族竟是一个问题需要大家讨论！有的时候真觉得其实一个国家过度关注和尊重种族问题，反而才是一种歧视.因为刻意的要把不同种族刻意的区分出来，给予额外的关注和优待，或者在社会环境里格外的注意回避讨论少数种族人种，这本身就有意无意的区别化别的种族！如果从一开始就不灌输这些区别化的东西，那都是人类有啥可特别在意的！
@@noyayay5820 多数国家都有民族问题，只是中国的民族政策优越，这不仅是共产党的能力，也是中国数千年总结的少数民族的相处经验。你没有意识到问题本身正是民族政策的成果。

You and Abby telling the truth to the world, thank you.
Thank you for this interviewing!
And evertime videos like this can give more insight. I hope this can bring everyone more together.
Lee, thank you so much for your effort to show these facts about China to the rest of the world. Keep up the good work, much appreciated.
Thanks for filming from Barrett channel. This message is valuable material.
A great interview to get things clearer!!
I belong to "Tujia" minority of China, our ethtic group no more than 5 millions . I can't belive there is another country where the gov which is able to treat minority as good as Chinese. I have no any fear or shame to say that I am a minority in any public place. I spent 10 year in France as a student and clerk, now living in Shanghai. I know exact how is the minority or muslin situation in EU... They care about Chinese Muslin not their owns... WTF
Very true I live in the Netherlands they are always killing Muslims all over the world together with the USA but somehow they care about chinese Muslims that they also bomb in Afghanistan and locking them up in Guatanamo bay its just sad. I wish I can get to China and live there instead in a country that hates me.
Well. It is lucky to be minority in China. The government treat you well and the western even worship you especially if you are Chinese muslim. Muslim slighly outside of China, they better to take cover when seeing drone..
They DON't care about Chinese Muslims! That is their trick to cheat the world. If they are really concerned about the Muslims, why were they still supporting Israel when Israel was killing the Palestinians in the recent battle? The West is just selfish and hypocritical.
You live in Shanghai? You do know you are breaking Chinese law by being on youtube yes?
@@imperialviking2817 Since you know Chinese law so much, cite your reference, will you?
I was surprised when I first learned these in the late 90s when I was working there in Chengdu for 5 years for a Chinese State owned company
The mulism Cafes in my undergrad university has much more delicious food than other general cafes. Non-Muslim students went to eat there as well.
Thank you Barrett, for your willingness to speak the truth via your channel. The world needs more people like you, whether is from the West or the East, to make the world a better place for all of us.
One Day, Western cultures will learn more and more about China and its minorities. The truth, not lies from western media. One day~
She said the truth, I am Han. When I was young, I wish to be HUI.
You should unify under your nation but dont deny your roots.. The roots are real not social constructs.. China should embrace the different abilities of the ethnic groups under one banner, you can do that because you do have a collective struggle right now. And I believe the security state in Xinjiang seems too paranoid lol.. But tbh I have no real clue whats happening on the ground
@@nadjiguemarful We HANs wished that we were HUIs when we were little because, first of all, Hui's lunch sometimes taste better than our Han's at school. And secondly, HUIs gets an extra 5 points in the College entry exam, I know it might not seem like a big deal to you, but the truth is in Beijing, a 5 points difference would distinguish you from others by a lot, for example, if I scored 601 points, I might rank at around 10000 in Beijing, and if I scored 600, I might rank at 12000, one point might mean the difference of 2000 or more people. btw, Barrett has a video where he interviewed a foreigner who just came back from a trip to Xinjiang, I think his name is Noel. He went there with friends and they travelled to Urumqi, Hotan, Kashgar etc., it's quite an informative video even for me as a Chinese (haven't been to Xinjiang in a decade).
@@aprilshimengg.3821 That is a big deal to me. It is unjust and Hans have a great history I was reading ghengis Khan History and he did not attack China until the Han emperor died, he was a subject for you. But then the emperor was replaced by a weak nephew so the Mongols attacked China. Any way I love your History. They need to change these treatments in China. NEVER EVER FEEL LIKE YOU WANT TO BE SOMETHING ELSE. Have proud in your own heritage and insha Allah I hope all of your people will be in harmony and benefit eachother. I know maybe chinese dont like Islam, but in the Quran it says "We have created the different nations that they might compete in good works, and know eachother".. I love Han I want to learn about you, and be proud of yourself! God bless
@@aprilshimengg.3821 I am not against Chinese people by the way lol, I even have criticism for my own government.. its just discussion
@@nadjiguemarful of course, I did not feel that you are against the Chinese in the slightest way, Xx. I'm just explaining my own experience growing up wishing that I was born as a minority. I used to think it's cooler to be a Minority when I was a kid because it's a rare thing, I guess I wished to be special lol. And of course, we Chinese have complaints when it comes to policies in China as well, the most recent case in point was the 3rd-child policy, there have been loads of discussion online, mostly criticism to be honest.
Thank you for your enlightening posts!
Thank you for a very informative video. Your guest speaker is very articulate.

She’s super smart open minded girl.
My biology teacher was a Muslim, but I did not know it until one day I visited him at home at Niujie.
I then realized that he had deeper eyes and a higher nose.
Very knowledgeable man. He taught biology, but he could teach math, physics too.
Muslims are smart
Thank you for the conversation 👍👏
Eid Mubarak Sister and all the Muslims out there, thanks Barrett's for the video. 👍
Thank you for making this video! Great content as always
I love Chengdu! Love hotpot Sichuan style. And it is also okay to love China too. :)
Yes cheap good food in Chengdu.
Great interview!
Great interview 😃
When I was in Xinjiang I saw mosques, heard prayer calling and halal restaurants are everywhere
What a wonderful interview to get to the truth out ! Great Job !
Great interview. I hv learned a lot from you💕
Great content! Keep it up!
I like watching your video very much. I feel that you are a very upright and friendly foreigner. I hope that all foreigners are willing to treat all things in China equally and friendly like you. I hope that more and more people will watch your video.Although I am in Taiwan, I am very concerned about the development of the mainland. In recent years, China has made great progress in the field of scientific and technological innovation. As a Chinese, I feel very proud!

Nice interview!
为这位回族女孩子补充一下。中国共有10个穆斯林民族，分别是：
维吾尔族
乌孜别克族
柯尔克孜族
哈萨克族
塔塔尔族
撒拉族
东乡族
保安族
塔吉克族
回族
还有锡伯族吧
我只知道有这些族名，不知道他们都是穆斯林，谢谢分享。
直接说他们是穆斯林不太准确，应该说这些民族“主要信仰伊斯兰教”。
并不是，最早萨满教是由哈萨克族传到中国的，上面几个民族你可以描述为部分信仰伊斯兰教，但是实际上他们很多是同时有很多种信仰，从语言习惯的词汇也可以看得出来有很多种宗教的影响。某些程度上他们信仰好几个教派，比如佛教某些理论与他们是穆斯林不冲突，这个文化现象也是非常奇特了。

The Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) are instruments of power and rule - they are logically constructed heresies. A solitary god (YHWH, God, Allah ...) is a fictional figure - a personification of the light energy and with that you can of course say anything and persuade the common people to be a collective superego. "Light energy (God) is everywhere and created everything." But actually it was and is about baiting people, leading people, shaping them and keeping them intellectually small - it's about creating ingroups and using these groups of people. The common people are lured with festivals and this instrument of power and rule is sold to the common people as something good. Let us remember: Millions of people died because of these logically constructed heresies (Judaism, Christianity, Islam ...) ... history has been falsified, knowledge censored ... and so we are currently still living in this induced collective madness and do not realize that it is a perfidious instrument of power and domination.
@@investiereninhongkongaktie1283 Shut up wumao!
To say it’s a misconception is an understatement, rather it’s a deliberate attempt to twist and lie in order to undermine your competitor.
Actually people just need to bear in mind that, China is focus on People first, Country first policy.. It doesnt discriminate on any parties as long as you dont challenge the authority.. Especially with issues like Races and Religions.
Great video 👍👍Thank you
希望多些西方國家的人民可以看到，從而了解到事實，谢谢Barrett👍👍👍👍👍👍
Minorities in China are very well taken care of, unlike those in the West.
Nice interview, Barret.
I grew up in Hui minority district as a Han person and was confused of why I could not find pork in the supermarket. Then I got many minority friends, Hui, Manchu, Oroqen (鄂伦春), Korean, Yi, Uyghurs, etc and got a Manchu wife. Until watching this video, I didn't even realise they are actually minorities. lol
