I interviewed 10 random Xinjiang locals, this is what they told me 

Thanks for watching our Xinjiang Series! What’s your biggest impression from the 3 videos? Any thoughts or feelings you’d like to share with us? Welcome to comment below! We will read every comment!

U.S destroyed Middle East muslims, now they want to help Xinjiang muslims. Nice joke.

You present the story and convey your message in such a calm manner. You blend yourself with the locals in such a natural way. Very impressive and admirable! Last but not the least, thank you for showing the world in its normal state! You are a great man!

I can't wait till China opens up more visa applications for foreigners. Xinjiang is going to be the first place I'm going.

Hope there's more. Really enjoy your vlog.

Sensacional ! Saudações do Brasil !

为司机点赞..你讲出了百姓的心里话..

又是看的我热泪盈眶。。。。我自己也不知道流泪的原因。

发型师姐姐让我笑抽了: 外国没有互联网吗？ 互联网倒是有，但是很多人没脑子你说可怕不

Excellent video! I've been in Nanning since 2004 with my Chinese family. l've grown to understand and feel that western governments purposely create untruths about anything... especially when they can't compete or understand! We've traveled throughout China for over 5 years and it's almost impossible to dislike anything that we've been around! I returned stateside and couldn't believe it was America! Not the same place that I grew up! Tent cities, millions waiting foreclosures, many businesses closed forever, the government trying to teach people to be lazy and welfare dependent, the lost of the American Dream !! China deserves the place it works hard to maintain. Have a great day!

That barber lady gave a pretty important message: "This is what 'people who haven't seen the world' would say."

I have been a business manager in west of China in my former company for 7 years. Every year I went to Xinjiang for at least 3 times. I have been to Urumqi, Turpan, Ili, Shi He Zi, Kuitun, Altay, Karamay, Kanas, Tarim, Tianshan Mountain, etc. Never heard of and witnessed any racism and forced laboring. In fact, in Xinjiang, Uyghur language is on top of Chinese on each signboard of stores, restaurant, school, building and etc. Local government builds a lot of apartments for Uyghur people for them to stay in winter time. In summer, they back to grassland to feed their flocks. No one forces them. I have a lot of friends in Xinjiang, most of them are local Chinese and they tell me they have many good friends are Urghur and often gather and drink together. I went several times to the free market and Musilm restaurants and really enjoyed shopping and foods there. Not being fooled, the best way is to go and take a look. Bias stop truth.

Thanks Raz for sharing. This is exactly what I saw in Xinjiang when traveling there in Sep of 2019. But unfortunately this is also exactly what BBC, CNN and other west media don't want the world to see.

amazing story, showing the normality of people's life in Xingjing! real journalism, you won't find it in BBC and CNN.

“Normality is the best way to fight against demonization. “ I really like how you conclude the video, wise people don’t trust and spread rumors.

20岁过来，现在都当妈妈了～ 高情商：所以你现在21岁吗？ 低情商：所以你小孩现在20岁了？

很感动。我一个中国人都没有去过新疆，以前也没有看过人家拍的新疆日常的生活。竟然要靠美国人造谣诋毁我们新疆，才会重视新疆，才会特别关注新疆。感谢播主，也感谢新疆人的辛勤劳作。

Hey guys! Just wanted to tell that everytime I look for this channel it doesn't appear me, luckily I found it again, dunno if youtube is somehow hiding it😪

赞真实，中国到处都是努力奋斗的人

I miss this kind of normalcy in our streets... I miss a country that does good for its people... BTW, google researches are filtered locally and by each language... Here in Brazil, if we search "China" the first hits or the first sites that they show is about politics and how china is being a "evil regime"... it is incredible. You need to search in English... and then, even if you search in the "news" section, the matches that they show is more or less the same as those fake news outlets (China genocide and blablabla). It is becoming disgusting the way they started to "control" the flow of information

我是中国内蒙古的蒙古族、没去过新疆、谢谢您的发声，用最真实的街坊呈现出来当地人最真实的生活。让世界人了解中国了解新疆。让西方另有所图的一些政客的谎言不攻自破！三种语言翻译字幕很棒！谢谢。

I work as a takeaway delivery driver in Bromsgrove Worcestershire UK last month I earned about £700 after deducting my fuel costs (I drive a 13 year old Fiat Panda not a scooter) - The Guy on the Scooter in Xinjiang earns about the same as me - and this is in the poorest province of China - I bet his housing food and utility bills are lower than mine - I am jealous!

The truth will set you free...... Thank you for telling the truth.... I have been to Xinjiang and I found the place peaceful and prosperous. You need peace to achieve prosperity. Wars , civil strife won’t achieve anything but poverty and more poverty. Vicious cycle.... Hate and more hatred. Break the cycle .....please.

They would rather believe the BBC clips than see real interviews with local people.....What a shame!

Uyghur scripture seen literally everywhere. Doesn’t seem like something a country would allow if they’re trying to destroy uyghur culture

You gotta love the Arabic subtitles that Raz put under the video! You really rock Raz! Edit: ok someone said it’s Uighur.

My former colleague, a native of Xinjiang, told me that she has never experienced any racism, let alone oppression. She said in school, the teachers were very nice to Uyghurs & the minorities.

人的内心是平和的时候，说话的语速神态也是平和怡然的。

Shalom! Thank you for your vlogs which allow ordinary Xinjiang folks to express what they think. You exploded the myth that foreigners cannot move freely there and film their conversations with the people. You showed how contrived those BBC reports were which purported to show "fearful, oppressed" Uyghurs and "concentration camps".

Those foreign friends who have not been to Xinjiang but believe in BBC and CNN should watch this video. These are the lives of ordinary Xinjiang people, this is the real Xinjiang.

normality is the best way to fight against demonization👍

I had been to Xinjiang in 2018 & 2019, what I saw was exactly the same that you showed us here, people there live a normal life just like us.

This will offend the sensitivities of the West, who shall not rest until these good Muslims become desperate refugees.

It's time the West govts put serious efforts to solve their own worsening social problems. If not, what the lies they telling their citizens about China will become reality in their own country one day.

Thank you. I was touched when you say every person have a story. And you can say it again, the best thing to fight the stigma is people’s normal life.

为了能够让更多人看到，我想为了关于新疆的视频添加法语字幕，但是貌似这个功能还没开放。也有可能是因为会影响到视频观感。 不管怎么样，歪果仁研究协会为改善中国的负面印象做了很大的贡献，真的非常感谢你高佑思！

Happy people living in Xinjiang. It is nice to travel. I am from Mongolia

The last part made me cry. Living a normal life is the best way to fight back all the demonization.

The lady in the hair salon asked ”they have internet abroad right?” somehow made me laugh

好感动，新疆加油！日子越过越好！

Actually, the group of people of which the population proportion is declining in China is Han(from 91.99% to 91.59%). According to Chinese law, the ethnic identity of the babies could inherit from either his/her mom or dad. And there is another fact, in China, all people except Hans can get extra scores in the college entrance exams, which means being a minority can have more chances to have better education. Well, who doesn't like privileges after all XD? In fact, many Han people are willing to marry a minority ethnic, and their kids can inherit a minority identity, mostly married to Hui, the vastest spread minority ethnic in China, also the biggest Muslim ethnic in China too.

Raz: Have you read the foreign evaluations of Xinjiang? Local Xinjianger: They are all imagined out of thin air, fabricated out of thin air, without any basis. I grew up here since I was a child, I have never heard of forced labor. Me: Thank you so much, Raz, for showing us the truth and the peaceful prosperous life in Xinjiang.

ep1: Hello wife ep2: Are those your sons? ep3: So you're 21 now? GOOD JOB RAZ!

The world is a better world without CNN, BBC etc.

哈哈哈，歪国人辛苦了！居然又到了阿克苏，那可是我出生的地方。只是六岁就离开了这里，现在只有一些模糊的记忆。能在你的视频里看到这么好，这么现代化的边疆城市，由衷的高兴！在您的视频里看见新疆的繁荣稳定，人人安居乐业，城市的建设和发展一点都不落后，让我好想回去再亲眼看看阿克苏越来越美丽的巨大变化*^_^*

Thank you so much for traveling to XinJiang and recording all the real stories of the local people 👍🏻

剪頭髮那個姨姨真的很贊，那些亂說的要麽就是沒互聯網，要麽就是沒見過世面的🤣🤣🤣 ，被中國新疆居民嫌棄，那些新聞作者真的有出息了

Thanks for sharing your experience in Xinjiang. Hope more Americans can see this.

Much thanks and respect for what you do Raz. This is what everyone on the world should be doing, showing their positivity and culture and bridging differences between people and cultures.

只有国内洗头发能很少钱享受按摩💆‍♂️ 。 国外洗头很贵

Sending the real China to the world, thank you

今天优衣库在报纸采访都说了，这根本不是人权问题，更多的是政治因素的考量。 人家根本不在乎你吃了几碗粉，他只想把你肚子打开，为什么，因为你是好人。还是个有钱的好人。

When you watch the facts, you will have always a smile in your face. I have seen too many lies since I studied abroad and really don't want to live in this dirty west anymore

Thank you，带世界看到一个真实的新疆！

视频很好，但不相信的人还是不回相信，他们就算亲自去了新疆也觉得是假的😅

What a peaceful Xinjiang so much diffirent from what western propagandist media and their govt described it to be. Thanks Raz for showing us the real Xinjiang. Keep up the good work.

Xinjiang is a place with prosperity and amazing scenery. It's not isolated and it's like any other province in China. If you want to see how Xinjiang looks like, you can buy a high-speed railway ticket like Raz. The current train is so convenient and no one will stop you. So many foreigners have been to Xinjiang and enjoyed the picturesque scenery there. Why there still some haters say that these videos are sponsored by the government? So, can only the West slander China and China can not make the truth public? This is not fair. On the contrary, I think these haters are the persons who have been sponsored. Xinjiang is not reachless. If you want to know what Xinjiang actually looks like, buy a ticket and go there with your own eyes, and enjoy the prosperity and beauty there. Then, come back and talk about the truth.

謝謝你給我們拍攝現實的新彊環境,你說得對~活得好好的就是打破歧視和抺黑的最好證明。

People in Xinjiang will just continue to live their normal lives. And that is the best way to fight against demonization indeed. Best way is to make Xinjiang as prosperous and developed as the Eastern provinces. People there are full of ambition and full of optimism. Keep investing in Xinjiang!

人要是心里有墙，给他们放啥他们都不会看，过好自己比啥都强

Thanks so much your videos showing the real life of real people in xinjiang! Your videos slap the face of anti China groups .

I am a Chinese living in the Middle East for many years. Here in the arab muslim world, nobody trusted the western propaganda about Xinjiang at all. In 2019, the Saudi officials already sent people to investigate the area and said everything looks fine in Xinjiang. It's just fake rumors from the west, they said. I am surprised the whole thing is politicized to this level suddenly in 2021. And I am so shocked that many people (who have never visited Xinjiang and blindly trusted the western media) believe in such xinjiang stories!

It makes you feel good that in the video everyone has a goal for his/her life.

Very good perspective to show real xinjiang, thanks~

Dude, that taxi driver is so cool! Thanks for sharing the real people, the real lives !

Little Boy (00:07): “（BBC，CNN)，你过来嘛，你过来，真的，我不打你，我不打你。”

I can only thank you for your honesty and hard works, but I have to point out that you lack a lot of skills for Main Stream Media reporters (BBC, CNN, Sky News...), here are some suggestions for your reference, which can help you to improve: Instead of travelling long distance and talking with so many people, "talented" MSM reporter should be able to immediately point out the locations of concentration camps on a A4 size world map; Talking to one million people who don't lie is not helpful, there must be one from 10 million people who always complains and lies, just talk with her, you can get piles and piles of shocking stories which can definitely catch more eye balls and can be widely used by politicians of the West World; Video editing skills can be improved, look at BBC, when did you see clear sky of Xinjiang in their report? but they are so popular!; you should always think outside of the box, when reporting China, you should always bear in mind that everything you see is not normal, there must be something dark hidden.... You are still young and still growing, if you can learn anything aforementioned, coupled with your potential, you will have a much "brighter" future, anything is possible, there is a good example: A Germany Scholar, Adrian Zenz, who has been nobody, who has never been to Xinjiang, while with all the tricks I told, he suddenly wrote hundred pages of research papers on Xinjiang and scientifically named the things there is "genocide" ( which was only used on WWII Nazis Holocaust), look at him now: he is the leading expert on Xinjiang human rights, he is invited to give lectures all over the world, he enjoys such unbelievable fame that if he says there is human rights violation on Mars, 99.9% of western politicians would swear their testimony for him. Anyway, you have a much higher IQ than he has, there is no reason you can't "succeed" like him...

Western countries don’t want their ppl to know about real XinJiang☝️

高佑思用亲身经历完美诠释了什么是“造谣一张嘴，辟谣跑断腿”。还染上风寒。

在国内时满心对社会和政府的各种不满，到了国外生活一些年后真的觉得国内社会和百姓生活没有海外媒体报道的那么坏，政府也没有他们报道的那么邪恶。反观国外的社会也各有各的问题，而反观国外媒体道貌岸然的所谓民主所谓正义姿态，倒是觉得中国在被集体霸凌。

理发店老板:“这个,国外也有互联网吧?” 哈哈哈哈,笑死我了,让我想起当初我第一次来美国留学之前,我姥姥曾经很担心的问我:“那美国,都有电吧?能有24小时热水吧?老师同学是不是都是外国人?” 我和姥姥说:“不,老师同学都是本国人,我是外国人...” 哈哈哈哈

拍摄视频很辛苦，感谢你让外国人了解新疆，你值得我们的尊重 Shooting the video is very hard, thank you for letting foreigners know about Xinjiang, you deserve our respect

Highly agree with you that showing the peaceful life in Xinjiang is the best way to fight against demonization.

every person has story,every one has bright future

Support XinJiang from Malaysia

Chynes just continue living their life. No matter what you say...

thats exactly what westerners should do to learn what XinJiang is, thanks

I enjoy this video so much. Thank you for bringing us the real Xinjiang and the lives of the ordinary people there. They are lucky and happy peoples living under the rules of China.

感谢歪果仁仗义执言，非常感谢。也请大家为歪果仁点赞👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Individual and real stories. Life is going on in Xinjiang and totally normal. The unity of China is of utmost priority and no western interference will change it's inseperability of China. It would be interesting to see how successful China tackled terrorism with a variety of projects. Let's take for example the unity of ethnicities (民族团结一家亲）. This shows how well ethnicities intact with one another. Would be interesting if you could show this

I love that, thank you for normalizing, and dispelling stigmas and stereotypes and sharing these stories through your video.

这个洗头的感觉，好怀念，隔着屏幕都觉得很舒服

老板那一句“外国也有互联网吧”真是灵魂拷问哈哈

👍👍👍仁哥(高思佑兄)，謝謝您介紹真實的新疆給香港同胞認識！新疆同胞真是親切善良，生活輕鬆又舒適！😊😄😁

Thanks so much for the truth! Really appreciated what you've done for China, most people prefer to trust a foreigner rather than a Chinese. Anyway, me personal always believe "事实胜于雄辩"!! 帅哥，辛苦了！

i want to go to xinjiang .it is beautiful and peaceful

BBC and CNN: all the people in this video are forced to hanging around and smile and pretend to be happy, including the dog, period

The Real report guy Raz!

BBC:不合格！重做！

I am a minority in china , there is no such racism thing.actually, if your parents are not same ethnic groups, like HAN and other minority, most kids will choose minority written on the ID card.

新疆人民：我tm过得好好的，你非要说我过得不好，那我就不能忍了

好想吃新疆羊肉串，特别想烤羊肝，过上一层薄薄的油膜，外焦里嫩

I can already imagine foreigners saying all these ppl are paid actors if they see this video

Thank you so much for showing the world how real life in Xinjiang is! Much appreciated.

Raz's expression sums it up when the woman said "they have Internet right?".

Whenever I hear the word 'Uyghur' , I immediately think of Dilraba Dilmurat and Xilinayi Gao (Curley Gao), 2 of the most beautiful Uyghurs that I know of. 😳💖

Raz 你让我看到了祖国的新疆 太感谢你了 中国是个爱好和平的国家 善良和美丽的民族 在欧洲的华人华侨始终相信国家，相信美丽的新疆

作为在新疆生活15年的人，感谢呈现真实的新疆！

Raz, the ASPI(Australian strategic policy institute) just make a report of you and other RU-vidr who dare to speak the truth about Xinjiang. So you are officially a "communist poppet" controlled by the Chinese government now. This means two things, first congrats on your videos, you just make enough noise to make them attack you to discredit your work. Second, you are and will be a victim of their propaganda. Keep on doing your great work, make them fear you. Don't worry about their attack, we the Chinese people will support you. We will crash them even in a democratic way. 1.4 billion people will win in any election.
