Kenneth Hammond | Myths & Facts about genocide: What’s happening in Xinjiang, China - 6/12/21 

I think it is right for the Chinese government to support the other ethnic groups and encourage your children to go to university, have lots of children and help them with housing, cost of living etc. This is how to get a harmonious China. I am very upset that so many people, media, government spread lies about how China is harming the people of Xinjiang.

I am a resident in China for 19 years already. Please give more details on how the government helps minorities. This is a very important part of debunking so-called "minority oppression". I know that students get help with points for entrance exams. When you go to hospital do you get discount or do you have to go to a specific hospital?

@@mariomastadon7650 1. all the autonomous regions for minorities are not good at developing economies, which means that for the past 70+ years, they cannot generate enough for their own expenditure, so the central gov has been subsidizing all those areas for all those years--and their infrastructures are funded by the state and run at a loss; 2. minority get extra subsidies at work/school, and many universities/places have special canteens dedicated to Muslims, they may enjoy extra holidays than Han; 3. they have special independent legislative power (to enact law/regulations applicable to their region/ethnic minorities); 4. minority enjoys special preferential guidelines for sentencing, i.e., lower or no sentencing; 5. preferential right to procreate (they were never subject to one child policy); 6. easier access to education, university entrance exam, professional training schools, post-graduate schools all have preferential policies by adding points for them, and they also enjoy extra minority allowances throughout their time at school; 7. preferential treatment in finding a job, e.g., a certain percentage of state owned companies/institutions must have a certain percentage of minorities. If you grew up in CN, in the old days when food was scarce and rationed, each Han resident in cities/town got 250 grams of meat, 250grams of cooking oil, 250 grams of sugar, and limited cloth, limited amount of grains (only a small portion of which is rice) each month by way of coupon, but ethnic minorities used to have a lot and lot more food/oil/meat/sugar and cloth and grains than Han--when food was not enough, this was a big deal...but Han ppl accepted it, and never complained or became hostile against ethnic minorities. Ppl who grew up in China all know ethnic minorities have always been treated better than Han (and all Han ppl accepted it), they'd say so if they are not trying to smear CN deliberately out of their own political agenda. The only kind of ethnic minority that is not tolerated are terrorists/criminals, but Han terrorists/criminals are not tolerated either, and sentenced much more harshly and severely than ethnic minorities.

@@mariomastadon7650 some of those minority have their own writing language, in this case, central government support their publish system to publish minority language publications, without subsidies, those publications won't survive just because the quantity is not big enough.

@@dancerinmaya6813 That's helpful. I knew some of them already, but you gave me some new ones. THX

oh, my god you must be brain washed. ahah, Just a joke.

Thank you for your comments. It's a shame that main stream media will never report basic facts about China. The fewer their audience know about China, the easier they can mislead them. It's possible that their journalists are also brainwashed to believe by heart they are manipulating the information for the sake of Chinese people, which may help them to overturn the 'evil' Chinese gov.

@@Jeffreyuk The journalists are _literally_ paid to write according to the narrative of the people that own/operate the media outlet. Wonder if you could call that bias?

Consistent with mine too. Malaysian in China since 1998.

Its because western media intentionally demonize China

The good professor should migrate to China and see for himself.

There are still people of who believed in truth and not just dirty politicians propaganda.

Jealous countries or dirty politicians do things for their political gains and so they always enjoy smearing dirty propaganda against China! Fortunately there are thousands of foreigners living in China that know what game is being played by anti China countries who are constantly creating fake stories against China!

Ppppp

@@everythingandmore5537 ppppppp

Glad that you explain the situation clearly to people outside of China. Unfortunately most people and politicians in some countries choose to believe in the U.S. version about genocide and imprisonment. Even more absurd is that many countries portrait China as a threat to their country even though, unlike the U.S , China has never invaded or bombed any other country under the disguise of democracy.

Sad to say the US (especially), UK, Australia, some EU countries are still weaponising Xinjiang till now despite their many allegations have been DEBUNKED by so many independent and investigative foreign journalists/content producers so many times. They just pretend they did not know and kept propaganding Xinjiang to attack China. See how they use it to Boycott the Winter Olympics. Really SHAMEFUL as they lied, lied and lied and stoop so low to do that. We over in Asia/SEA believe they know the actual situation but just pretended not to.

@@jessyjames9242 Investigative foreign journalists were stopped every time they were trying to report on the situation in Xinjiang. The whole region is very tightly controlled. The government only allows news to get out that supports their propaganda.

@@sabinereynaudsf Not really. I have checked on this issue, too. Of course, Xinjiang which have been a target of hundreds of TERRORISTS attacks from 1997 to 2015 have to be very tightly controlled. That's the right thing to do as its for the security of everyone. I visited our Customers with my colleagues in 2016 and again in 2017 and they shared with us all the happenings before that (there was no attacks from 2016 onwards) Even all the airports have strict checking which we were happy as we find that they are very serious with security. Its just like in US and almost all part of world the after 911. Every entry points were very strict controlled and there were so many checkings. In US even worst as I have a group of friends who are PR in US who often share with us the restrictions there. How can any country be lax when come to protecting lives?

It is absolutely NOT true that the Xinjiang region is tightly controlled and not accessible to foreigners. Anyone can go to Xinjiang. The Chinese government has been promoting Xinjiang as a tourist destination for foreign tourists for a looong time! You can easily find yt travel vlogs on Xinjiang by foreigner tourists that go as far back as more than a decade ago to the present. Stop spreading disinfo!

Plenty of real tourists traveling in Xinjiang and Tibet to show real China on RU-vid

Those US law makers are not exactly ignorant. They are just racist China haters for their political convenience and benefits.

Whereabouts. Prove it! Show some pictures. Tell your story. Don't bother you're full of it.

@@morejoy5188 why are you so sure?

It's impossible... CNN BBC FOX etc are the most trusted medias in the world. 😉😂

There are halal options in my college in the US

@@frankfang1932 All universities in China will have a Halal restaurant. It is guaranteed that the way those foods are processed is also halal.

the halal noodles, the one with beef, tastes so damn good and so do the cantaloupe in Xinjiang.

There are halal options everywhere my guy China are trying to look good stop falling for it

@@arkanstigers6007 you lie.

What a fair and objective talk by a brave professor.

@@stephenchan7398 kind sad we call him brave

I had this reading when I was majoring in east asian study in college. Required reading, very good.

@@zikewang9670 kind of deluded more like it. I guess that you presume western academia to be similar to the oppressive state of Chinese academia. Or more likely that you know nothing of higher learning.

@@abbotsful oppressive that we have to call him brave for speaking out the truth in the west where """free speech""" is so lauded. Don't make me laugh.

Hey this is the problems across the world unfortunately, 99% of the world population don’t or lazy to do their own research and study and wholly depend on what media tell them🤣🤣🤣

remember this campaign has gone on for 4-5 decades . Where do people get their news?

The same people that fell for the Iraq WMD narrative have fallen for every other false narrative peddled by the US' global media propaganda machine. Keep in mind that 81% of Americans believed in the Iraq WMD narrative back in 2003. That is a lot of useful idiots being indoctrinated by the media. I don't expect that to change any time soon. Fortunately, it appears that the West is gradually fading into irrelevance, so there is hope for a more peaceful future regardless. P.S. I am a Western person myself. I have come to view our braindead warmongering ways with deep disgust.

@@thechloromancer3310 The mainstream media narrative on Syrian government attacking its citizens using bio-chemical weapons had been debunked too. So did the narrative on the once richest African country - Libyan government mass killings of over a hundred thousands of its citizens. That's not all, the list goes on... Such narratives are used to demonize these countries in order to justify the attacks on these countries. Over the last few years they have targeted China... I hope it won't end in hot wars.

@@thechloromancer3310 I completely agree with you, after researching Canadian history, I'm becoming pretty disgusted with the stupid, vile, evil things our government has done, some at the behest of America, but some on our own as well.

American exceptionalism should mean that they excel at bringing "freedom" to people. Destroying their livelihoods.

Americans and Europeans government have been high jacked by some evil people who just serve small group rich people and their Agenda . They don’t even care about their own people, how can they care about other country.

Iraq never denied WMD, and consider they did used banned chemical weapons against Iranians, the reason for war is not none (and of course bad intelligence). Are the reason enough to start a war? I don't think so, but that doesn't eliminate the difference between war and genocide. Just don't muddle with words.

A doing something bad doesn't make something else bad done by B good.

@@asdfasdf-rv1wv A doing something bad would not give A credit to say anything about B doing bad

Far before the Tang , during the Han around the 200 BC , Xinjiang was part of China. This was well before the region(a small portion of xinjiang in the south ) became Islamic. Because the northern part were Buddhist.

imperial administration. collecting taxes and policing was probably how they dealt with other ethnicities.

We can see people Sing and dancing in the square. Singing and dancing and paraded for tourists. How nice. People know that is fake and has nothing to do with day to day life.

​@@sabinereynaudsf No, it's related to life, and it's real. Unlike the special performances in scenic spots, you can learn about "广场舞", which can be seen in the park in the morning and evening.

​@@sabinereynaudsf they really dance because they like dancing.

"How about innocent people killed in ..." A decade or so ago they were referred to as "Collateral damage". As someone else once said; One death is a tragedy, a million is a statistic.

it would be useless. The politicians in that room only shouts out what they want. The others are nothing to them, including the truth.

@@pharspe corruption, lying manipulation lining their own pockets with money are the key traits of the American government. Agree with you no point because all of that is normalised, it’s normal to do all that in America. The truth isn’t sexy. How sad and pathetic the state of affairs in that country. More and more people are seeing through that BS.

The truth has no votes, the truth will only be accused of taking money by the opponent, and then lose the election

@@funglee6051 eventually people will get so tired of the constant BS and lies that I pray they see sense.🙏

Hi Lisa E. very well said. I can not agree with you more.

Can't agree more but I am pessimistic and believe we will see more evils coming from USA and some Western countries to preserve their dominance.

Unfortunately, they will never apologize because of their arrogance. As HW Bush once said, “I will never apologize for the United States of America, ever. I don’t care what the facts are.” - Vice President George H. W. Bush, Newsweek, August 15, 1988 Note, he said, "I don't care what the facts are". Even if USA is in the wrong, there will be no apology. This is their arrogance. Reminds one if some American religionists, "I know what I believe. I don't care what the facts are".

The same way they used Christianity to colonize the world and invade..

That apology will never happen. Whatever the Western Countries do, they are above the law. Even with hundreds and hundreds of native Indian children buried around Canada, any justice? Any accountability? Only just a few mention in press and then silence. No constant media coverage on such horrific human rights violation. No reparation to the Indians.

There are expats who are vlogging about their travels. And even @Alex from Xinjiang on RU-vid too

Xinjiang minorities didn't have to have only one child, exempt from the One Child Policy imposed upon the Han majority living in the big cities. Rural areas followed exceptions to the principal rule, also.

Errata: Principle, not principal!

Thank you Sairen for providing this information, I have a curiosity about China. I fully understand that the US media has an agenda to make the Chinese government look bad and will never report anything that undermines their feckless propaganda.

@@jossdionne9810 Minorities now need to follow family planning, which is why there is a sudden drop on their birth rate.

Just rubbish! Uyghurs have been robbed by each level of Chinese government for 100 years, now. This is third mass killing and robbing of elites. The mass killing and confiscation of Uyghur wealth people, land and properties owners, happened 192-130s, 1950-1970s and 2016-current. Talking about vendors who earns bare nothing. What a joke!

Not just! Tibet has been connected to inland areas by train since 2006.

no wonder why people are so easily misled by media, it's just a simple google search

@@xy8661 And the Chinese government is building a railway from Tibet to Nepal. As Nepal is a landlocked country with no trading coast, Nepalis desperately need this railway to lower transport costs and sell their goods to China or the world.

@@xy8661 That was the "normal" train. Now 2021 itz been replaced with bullet trains that exceed 400km per hour easily making the trip shorter.

@@ftd7435 not exactly. There are two different routes. The finished one is from Qinghai to Lahsa. The new one is from Chengdu to Lahsa. The second route is not done yet. It is only partly finished and in operation. The whole route is planed for 2030. There has never been a more difficult project and definitely will not be another for long long time like this one. 81% of the route is in tunnel or on bridge. I watched a documentary, so impressive.

I subscribed you.

Hence, the PRC sands for Peoples Republic of China.

For Morrison and his allies, whether the genocide is true or not is not important at all. He might even know that there's no such thing. It's all about whether these politicians have any virtuous bottom-line. If all they care about is thier polotical stability, they will find all ways to twist and turn, with eyes wide open!

For Morrison, only the words coming out from US government is the truth....

Morrison is like the canary in the coal mine, how dumb. Thanks to him that we lost our trade with China and off course the US export to China has increased.

Yes now Han can also have more than one baby lol

His revelation will rock the entire Capitol Hill and the WH and the House of cards in the US will collapse indefinitely..

When the going gets tough, the Western MSM will get shamelessly creative on alternative "facts".

Ethnic Europeans, mainly in the W Europe are also declining in most of their own countries. I suppose that could be argued as genocide since that too is a result of policy.

MF G: Han people have NOT ruled China for almost two thousand years. China is ruled by minority groups. Mao, Deng, Hu and Xi were/are not Hans.

@Nova Flares I wonder why just in past 3 years? PRC was formed 70 years ago, and Xinjiang has always been part of PRC in those 70 years.

@@elliekwong3180 Learned your history again. Han dynasty has ruled over 400 years. Only after Jin, there was 270 years, North China was partially ruled by minorities. Then Tang, Song, Ming dynasty were Han Chinese.

Do you call making people sing and dance in the square for tourists preserving the culture? Also, clearly when you are a foreigner living in China you have to promote China, any critical reports can get you in trouble. They all know what happens to people like Zhang Zhan, who was sent to prison to 4 years in prison for her social media posts.

Sabine Reynaldo Have you visited Xinjiang? Food, costumes, songs and dance are part of what made up an ethnic culturally identity! If you talk about Zhang Zhan, then what about Assange, Snowden, Pr. Manning, David Hale?!!! Try going to any country in the world and promote schism or insurgency…..Try that and see if you’ll be thrown in jail…. Go to Thailand or Saudi Arabia as examples and criticise & talk s*it about their royal families, you’ll definitely be thrown into jail! You truly have this amazing blinkers on when it comes to China…. Can’t blame you as I was an MSM sheeple too, but have since remove my blinkers once I found out about fake WMD in Iraq which was used to justify war and to loot their oil….

The goal isn’t to eliminate ethnic minorities. The goal is Chinese government control. If minorities stay nice and play well with the government, they do not care. The CCP cares far more about the land under the Uygher’s feet than it does about the Uyghers themselves. After all that’s the critical area in China for export to the rest of Eurasia for the belt and road initiative. Regardless classic Uyghur traditions do not align well with the government intentions for the land. Therefore the Chinese government moves to “civilize them,” by force if necessary.

@@storyls Do you know who made up ccp? Who is eligible to join ccp? Whose interests does ccp represent? The answer is that any Chinese citizen who loves China and is willing to dedicate everything to this country and people can join the ccp. They can be ordinary farmers, supermarket employees, factory workers, construction workers, students, doctors, soldiers, police, teachers, taxi drivers. It can be Han, Korean, Mongolian, Tibetan, Manchu, Xibe or Uyghur. It can come from Xinjiang, it can also come from Tibet, Heilongjiang or Hainan Island. The government must ensure national security, not allow terrorist attacks, and control social order. This is a manifestation of the government's ability to govern. Compared with the United States detaining terrorists without trial in Guantanamo and torturing them everyday, Xinjiang’s probation center teaches them work skills and allows them to reintegrate into society. Don't you think this is a better and more humane approach？

@@storyls US governing is so desperate to go into another war so that they can get all the money they could by these blood thirsty pentagon officials. Where's the "weapons of mass destruction" in Iraq? Isn't that was the very reason you went and invaded Iraq? Killed hundreds of thousand of innocent muslims children and elderlies? You love Muslims so much that you went and killed them all, right!! Where's their weapon of mass destruction as you claimed? You liars!! You are so blood thirsty you can't wait for another war aren't you. You killed children and elderlies in Afghanistan for 20 years is not enough for you, because you so love the muslims!! America loves muslims so much that they sell billions and billions worth of military weapons to the Saudis who used them to kill hundreds of muslims in Yemen, right!!

@@storyls Look up your own country's history before you try to lecture others because you should have set a president as a good example. But there is NONE to be found, isn't there?
