Big thanks to Noel for coming onto the show and sharing his story of going to Xinjiang. We're going to Xinjiang pretty soon. Are you looking forward to the Barrett Xinjiang content? 🤔 Follow our Twitter account to keep up with what we're up to! twitter.com/BarrettRU-vid
you will find Xinjiang is so large and beautiful ,and the people live there are very kind ,as well as the other chinese in this country . Have a good travel！
It's really understandable for me as a Mongolian ethnic girl who grew up in Qinghai-Tibetan plateau and now staying in Singapore.Thank you for speaking the truth.❤️And yeah i have visited my cousin sisters many times there in Xinjiang(They both got married there)..Xinjiang is such a beautiful place ❤️people there are living happily just as the same as my hometown's..Love China,love truth. And thank you two again
I am Singaporean. I just visited Xinjiang, in September of 2019. Beautiful province of China in September. Must give it a go, especially Urumuqi, Hemu, Kasgar. Do watch the world famous cultural dinner performance show there.
Damn, I have a feeling that the western media is doing a promotion of Xinjiang, a place few people have heard of before, I can't imagine that May is the tourist season in China and Xinjiang will be full of tourists
I am south east Asian chinese. I already planned my next vacation destination will be xinjiang. For two reasons:genuine tour and to see it myself to debunk the west accusations.
Love to visit Xinjiang too. My brother and his friends from Malaysia went there in 2018. They loved the place. People are friendly.The tour guides were Uyghurs and they got invited to their homes.
I didn’t know xinjiang has become so developed and yet so pretty with the natural sceneries still so well preserved until this cotton thing, but i have always known about their exotic fruits. Then I learned that the Flaming Mountain from the Chinese Classic Journey to the West really existed and is located right in Xinjiang. My next trip to China will be XinJiang
@marie sandal my thought exactly. I wasn't a great fan of China made phone - had Nokia Asus, until US brought the world focus on Huawei. I next bought a Huawei and now on Huawei - great phone.
@@JonROlsen whenever someone on RU-vid channel talking about descent things about China, most of the times they'll get labeled as wumao…… also, same for talking about WHO being truthful upon results of corona virus research……
Just like a couple who are arguing, they need time to calm down,like Us and China,they need to have a cold wall to separate each other until they can talk again.
@@graceliang2227 Your example is totally wrong! The US should stop spreading rumours, propaganda, slandering China to achieve their goal to attack China to divide China sovereignty.
The West is literally fabricating negative stories to demonize China over Xinjiang “genocide”, forced labor and concentration camps. It’s a big joke. I was in Xinjiang 4 times. All the accusation from the western MSM are really pure BS. Shamelessly created so many fake news, again and again. To brainwashed the world like what they did to other targeted countries like Iraq, Iran, Syria, Afghanistan, Russia, etc... Till they legitimized themselves to invade. For their oil and other resources, and selfish agendas.
Yup totally right on regarding language. I realised that when i spoke to a friend from China. Singapore's English is like China's Mandarin.....the official unifying language so that everyone from different places or ethnicities can communicate. It's pragmatic and logical.
UK , usa and the 5 eyes nations historically have been more professionally in carrying out genocide on people of natives and minorities before seizing all the land from natives in nowadays their countries of the five eyes !! That is why population of natives have been decreased from more than 50 millions down to now less than 5 million now during the period of europeans landings and total occupations through invasions. On the contrary, population of Uyghur minorities in China has increased more than 100 times during the same period. Now Out of incompetence and jealousy by the west about China's remarkable progress economically and almost complete eradication of absolute poverty during past 20 years in China. Instead of equal competition, the narrow-minded and incompetent west starts to use dirty and devil tricks to keep fabricating fake reports and news against or discredit China and other countries under the devil guise of bullshit human rights with their own context. For China To save time to clarify each rumor and fake news fabricated by the west frequently, China should learn from the west by enactment of criminal laws through NPC in criminalizing anyone or even any nation who fabricates fake reports or news against any people or nations and then legally intercept these devil people when passing through PRC Customs formalities for formal charging elsewhere in PRC or worldwide with mutual extradition treaties. Then these devil politicians and media from the West will no longer dare to make groundless and fake news and reports repeatedly against other nations to achieve devil political aims unless they want critical prosecutions punished by life imprisonment !! Apart from ongoing sharing military killings experience/intelligence on civilians with devil australian armies in Afghanistan and other countries , usa , the five eyes nations and the west govt had better spent more time to protect natives and minorities in their own countries instead of fabricating fake reports against China and other countries . Hypocritically keep bullshit democracy and freedom, however not a single state or province of the five eyes nations are administered by native or minorities in the five eyes nations, so the 5 eyes nations had better learnt from China to have more favorable Govt policies towards minorities and act like China let half of its territories being administered by natives or Chinese citizens of minorities . Stop bullshit hypocritical democracy and freedom all the time but done nothing good to natives and minorities. God is watching your devil acts and these devils will surely be condemned now or in due course soonest!!! Just watch youtube titiled:" Western media's disinformation ", then you would understand BBC and other west media or politicians have been constantly making fake news to Discredit/demonize other countries to gain political profits of all kinds! Wishing all These devil people and nations making fake news will be punished by God soonest !!
I don't think it's entirely appropriate to equate these situations. Because in China, no matter where you are from, no matter which dialect you speak, everyone writes in Uniform Chinese (referred as traditional or simplified Chinese, most people can read both, but simplified Chinese is certainly easier to write and less time consuming because it's characters are simplified), so for people in China, their "mother tongue" is basically a dialect not a entirely different language, whereas in the case of Singapore, the official language is English and people's mother tongues are Malaise/Chinese/Tamil etc., and these are entirely different languages and are written differently. BTW, in northern parts of China, different dialects sounds quite similar to Mandarin and as someone who was born and raised in Beijing, I could easily understand dialects from many places in Northern China. And us from Beijing don't really speak perfectly standard Mandarin either, there are certain vocabularies/slangs that are unique to us, and we tend to add an /er/ at the end of some words when we are talking.
Really encouraging people visit places they have never been. The world is not as dangerous as the media mentioned. Just like how I visited Ecuador before, friends said how dangerous it was. No! It’s safe, people are friendly. We all should see the world from our eyes! Thanks for another good show 👍🏻👏🏻🙏🏻
I like Barrett and Noel's talk about Xingjiang. Thank you. What is important for me is the truth or what you see, but not what you imagine. The situation can be good or bad, but only be true. I hate lying. I hate lies. And l hate liars.

@@jimilindley4422 It seems you are the one who don't want to listen to the truth or opposite voice. If there's really something called freedom of speech, why can't you accept opposite opinion?
@@happyhappy2164 no I was just making a joke. I looked into this guy's channel and he's literally paid by a CCP media relations arm. All scripts are pre-approved or written by this CCP organization. I'm not joking look into it. He even discussed a BBC article calling him out on this channel.
@@jimilindley4422 Sorry to say BBC has lost it's reputation completely. I'm from HK but I really hate the west media to speak for those rioters to ruin HK. When the same riot happened in UK and US, why these media are silent?
I’m from Hong Kong and staying in Shanghai nearly 20 years. I also been traveling to XingJing Urumqi since 2004. I feels safety there, of course except few years of the riots happened. I’m going to open few retail stores in Urumqi recently.
@@chikeungcheung9329 香港從古至今都係中國的地方，你話你唔係中國香港人，請你離開中國香港！ Hong Kong has been a place in China since ancient times. If you are not a Hong Kong Chinese, please leave Hong Kong, China!
The same thing in Indonesia, we have over 250 different languages, Not dialects. On 28 October 1928 was declared that Bahasa Indonesia as national language, so we have to speak Indonesian language as our National language, otherwise javanese, sundanese, wouldnt understand balinese and many other races in Indonesia has different mother tongue 💞
Noel's opening statement: "I want to be qualified to speak about it." His closing statement: "If I don't go there, I don't have the right to talk about it." Of course there are tons of people who have never been there but were willing to or voting for "genocide" bill. What a world are we living in?
What can you say? The Weterners advocate the freedom of speech and that include lies. How can one who has not been to XinJiang could commission a report that has been used widely by the US, Canada, UK, Australia and Japan to discredit China? Really unimaginable.
Noel might not be famous as Adrian zenz . But he definitely more convincible than Adrian Zenz who possibly has never been to xinjiang but just fabricates “eyes catching “ news to feed cunning western politicians. I followed Adrian Zenz’s tweet, in one video he even used google translate tool to single words out to fit his hypothesis . Like the factory ‘s work labor in Chinese, he took it as forced labor... purposely let you think of Uyuger being force to work. Not even close to it’s original meaning( Chinese is my mother language, I can read directly)it made me really think that Adrian zenz better learn some Chinese before dive in Chinese websites! Mandarin is not a language you just use google translate word by word added up to understand the meaning .
It is simply Westerners who is just jealous the manner China progress. They can't accept that China and its chinese people are improving their standard of living.
Yeah, Ollie Barrett recently learned what a Buddhist swastika is and that tea came from China after years of extensive on the ground China experience. Legend.
@@lennifrost2006 Ollie Barrett is still young, and there's so much of China to take in, he can't be expected to know everything about China in just a few years.
@@Shenzhou. Knowing what a Buddhist swastika is or that teas comes from China is hardly high level knowledge especially from someone who claims a level of expertise on China far superior to all the "Western" media journalists. There are even sayings in the U.K such as "not for all the tea in China". While the Buddhist swastika is a ubiquitous religious image across Asia. It would be like me claiming to be an expert on Italy with years of on the ground experience living in Italy. Only to walk into a Catholic cathedral and have a complete spin out when confronted with a plaster image of Christ being crucified.
@@Shenzhou. just ignore this troll who just opening account here to stalking others. This troll is only 3 month old, but wont be surprised it will be incarnating more troll accounts from this sad dude
How come there’s no picture or video of xin jiang given he’s already traveled there? It’s wired in the digital age. I just realized there’s almost no pictures or videos about xinjiang nowadays in the western. Xinjiang is as mysterious as North Korean now
Been to Xinjiang a few times on expedition tours. Last time we drove through the Lop Nor and went all the way to Tashkent. Very challenging terrain, nice people.
@@lkkoh777 There are some Singaporeans who are anti-China. I spoke Mandarin in Singapore before and some of them could hear the mainland accent and started treating me coldly. But when I open my mouth and speak English, many Singaporeans started warming up.
@@Shenzhou. Yes this does happen. Firstly, some S’poreans might be brainwashed by western influences (heavily promoted) to think western values are superior than eastern ones and also some have bad experiences dealing with mainlanders through scam calls and not to mention the negative stereotype promoted by western MSMs. Secondly, some S’poreans are not so competent speaking in Mandarin and coupled with the above reasons, they will appear to behave in a way you have mentioned. Hopefully, with the rise of China and a better understanding of each other’s culture (even though we’re ethnically similar) such behaviour will disappear. Of course, this does not mean there are no a$$holes in S’pore.
Xinjiang is a huge province in China, I visited the place in 2018. My impression of the place is good, people are friendly and love singing and dancing. I can imagine they are a bit nervous to see westerners because they tend to use their interview video to create fake news like the BBC did. No one wants to get into trouble there. Yes, the security there is very tight therefore it is very safe.....Urumqi is far more developed than I imagined when you think of the location of the province.
@@jacksonbrown4112 maybe some day you find out,it was all wrong,what you took from the west media. I am sure your comment came out of love for righteousness, but what if! What if it could be used to charge the wrong people! Have you ever thought about that.
The west extracts people (young people) out of Xinjiang train them arm them and smuggle them back in to create trouble. Afghanistan is just next door where actual genocide of Afghans is going since last 20 years by US forces by bombings, drone attacks, missile strikes. A very humane way to deal with “terrorism”.😉 dropped 7423 bombs in 2019 only.
hello，Lee and Oli，l want to say thank you ！ 我注意到有些粉丝开始为你们担心了 事实上我也有这样的担心 因为你们妨碍了西方媒体的企图 所以他们一定会想要消灭你们的 请你们一定要注意安全！ 我虽然没有去过新疆，但是从小就了解新疆的风俗文化，学习新疆的歌舞音乐，我们喜爱新疆和其他所有少数民族，可以断言中国不存在种族歧视！虽然某些地方因为语言、经济发展的原因发生一些矛盾冲突是难免的，但政府是想方设法去化解这些矛盾，绝不会去做加深矛盾不得民心的傻事的。 什么“集中营”“种族灭绝”之类的陈词，简直是天方夜谭！真让我见识了西方媒体人的智商，太可笑了！ 我现在生活在日本，日本人也是和他们同出一撤，脑子被洗得不可救药了！我说什么他们也不会相信，只有像你们这样的人才能够帮助他们了💦 期待看到你们亲自去新疆的视频哦💕 祝健康！
I’m from Singapore. Thank you guys for doing a very important job of sharing what’s real Xinjiang like to the rest of the world. Otherwise we will be listening from BBC (British Bigotry Channel) and MAGA (Make American Garbage Again) news again!
Lee, your friend’s young daughter’s multiple languages is very common in Shenzhen. I’m one of them. I’m Hakka (Kejia) , of course we speak Hakka at home, outside I speak Cantonese to my Cantonese friends and Mandarin to my northern Chinese friends. If they are like me trilingual, we just speak 3 languages/ dialect in one sentence. Haha 😂 lots of fun!
Thanks a million for sharing your video and experience in Xinjiang, China. This is so refreshing to see and hear about the real Xinjiang and not the fabrication and disinformation about what is going on in Xinjiang from bias Western media.
Thank you two soooo much for sharing this on RU-vid. Really feel angry when western media sending those unreal information about Xinjiang without shame....
I am a Chinese. And I real like going to xinjiang because of the wonderful landscape and xinjiang is the most famous place to ski in China. The snow in xinjiang is very good, u can ski there until April. Most young people in China like to ski there.
I was travelled most part of Xin Jiang 20 years ago. I always want to go back one day. People were nice and friendly. There might be labor camp in Xin Jiang but it is not just for minority. Why don’t make the criminals useful so they can adapt to the world easily when they come out?
I am a Chinese living in Australia. Thank you for telling the world that any city in China is real and beautiful!We don't need to exaggerate and lie about our country. What kind of country is China now? I hope you have a chance to see and feel it! Not through the western media to present untrue and slander China! China welcomes you all at any time
thanks for all the effort to make the world a more peaceful place. With all the wealth and tech advancement, I see no reason why countries should be at odds with one another but to live in peaceful collaboration for the benefits of mankind. There should not be another hyped up cold war when there is none.
You're in China, should be learning chinese.your native tongue you learn at home or in extra schooling like everyone else does. So it's nothing wrong with asking people to speak one dialect for the whole country like these lads said.
In May 2019, 14 of us American born Chinese cousins went to Xinjiang on our own organized tour group. Most of us are senior citizens and cannot speak Chinese. Our guide was a lovely Uyghur woman with green eyes who spoke her own language, Mandarin and perfect English. Yes, there were cameras and tight security at public / tourist places like hotels, shopping, and museums. We visited mosques and talked to local people with our limited Mandarin. They were curious about us because we looked Chinese but we did not speak Mandarin among ourselves. Their curiosity was satisfied when we explained that we were 4th and 5th generation overseas Chinese and that we spoke English. Many of our friends in Southern CA have made this trip to Xinjiang as part of organized Silk Road tours offered by tour agencies. So, yes, you can go to Xinjiang and see for yourself. Of course, a short tourist trip does not make you an expert and you are not shown any prisons or camps. You do see local people working and living normally like any other place.
@@Birdylockso No, our Uyghur tour guide was quite free to take us to (I guess you would say “approved” tourist places ). She never seem to afraid or worried she would be swept away by authorities. We talked to elderly men at the mosques, grandmas taking care of their grandchildren, vendors at a huge wholesale nut and fruits market, and locals at community fairs. We went to several different locations in Xinjiang and people seem to be living normally. They were out and about just like in any other cities. There were ominous public signs in Chinese and in their native languages that warn of “dark elements “ , meaning authorities will crack down on criminal activities like sedition and terrorism. These signs were not in English or any Western languages.
imagine doing nothing but photo urself and got questioned by police, I can't think of any place that would have the same thing. Xinjiang police clearly treating everyone as a criminal and no respect no trust at all.
I went there a few weeks ago. Had my camera taken away from me! I was so upset. I got so many great pictures of people dancing and eating! Not a lot of people outside away from the tourist areas.
Actually, there are a few megacities in China. Which is Bei, Shan, Guang, Shen. 北京，上海，广州，深圳。 Other cities do not look like these 4 of them. But I think, other cities also will develop soon. It's easy to make development for China. It was a nice talk chat. 👏
@Triple Mutant Indian Virus Kumbh Mela I am Turkish. But I live in China. So I can see many things with my own eyes. People in Turkey, They can only read or watch the news. I never speak politics. But in my opinion, there is some plan outside in China. Because they know, China is a superpower now and They are trying to stop it. They don't have another excuse. I mean, I am Muslim and in Many countries, They didn't really care about Muslims until now! As I said, I don't like talking about politics. I like to watch people talk about it But I don't really like to talk much about it. I am trying to stay on the positive side! Thanks for asking my opinion.
What about ethnic minority of Tripura, Assam, Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim in India and ethnic minorities of Chittagong and all northern parts of Bangladesh? Why all western countries pretended to see nithing?
As a Chinese who is living in Singapore, especially traveled to Xinjiang in 2016, I appreciate that you and Noel can help to show the truth to the world from the foreigners’ view. Xinjiang is a great and beautiful place to enjoy the sightseeing, foods, fruits, culture, even the special flight experience that fly over the dozens of quite high mountains. Although it seems not as developed as many east or south coast provinces, all of there are still changing and developing, people there want to earn more money by their working hard to upgrade their lifestyle as well as any other people in the world. Government is supporting the strategy and financial help to set up the foundation, just like the Mandarin that you mentioned, especially for the Uyghur, the higher salary level and more convenient educational authority even make me, a Han Chinese, envy a little bit.
Noel and Mr. Barrett thank you for this wonderful video. I really appreciate it. I am from India Xinjiang lives matter. Chinese government done a great job to boycott H &M, Nike etc. ...... Muslim or other religions living in China is safest and happiest in the world ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏 ....
For a short stay there's limited stuff you see, thus little things you can talk about. Still better than those that never been there before but have made so many accusations.
making the whole world speak English is fine, China making Chinese, or Chinese influenced people to learn Chinese is wrong.. everyone stand up applaud the west.. the gift that keeps on giving.
