Jerry’s take on China

Two huge myths about the Xinjiang narrative, now that the United Nations have been there and found there are no Human Rights abuses and the US are acting illegally and potentially abusing the human rights of Chinese people in the region whether they by Uyghurs or not.

There is big news coming from the region that no one in Western media is talking about.

The United Nations sent a Special Rapporteur to the region and she found no evidence of any human rights abuses, what she did report was that many people had lost jobs and were subject to economic coercion by the USA – which act illegally by placing arbitrary sanctions and refusing to allow the presumption of innocence – they go one step further by refusing to accept evidence that companies in the region present which prove they are not using forced labour in their supply chains.

But this video is not about that, this is about the two biggest myths:

Myth one, China admitted there were re-education camps

And

Myth two, the United Nations said there were up to a million Uyghurs in camps

Both are NOT true, although both have been extensively reported as being true and are widely believed to be true, they’ve become an accepted part of the narrative based on the old adage, if you repeat a lie a thousand times, it becomes the truth

Here’s the real truth if we read carefully behind the headlines, if we take just a moment to establish sources and check them we can learn that what I’m saying is correct, what media are telling us is not.

The Chinese government admitted there were many schools, vocational colleges being built, almost 100% of which were both voluntary and many of which have now been closed. They also admitted a program of deradicalisation for people who had been convicted of a crime and then those people, after serving their sentences, some were also vocationally trained. That must be better than sending them home with a brown paper bag and no future

It was only Western media which called this a crime against humanity – if you believe what western media tells you then I’m wasting my time talking However, if you’re smart enough to question this – you can go online and find out it is actually true.

China dropped no bombs, it ethnically cleansed no towns, cities or suburbs, it created no refugees and in doing so it lifted an entire region out of poverty, turned agricultural regions into high tech zones, automated jobs which in some countries are still being done by prisoners under forced labour conditions and effectively eliminated the root cause of the problem.

The entire thing is not a secret, you can find out all about it on the State Council Information Office website and, to help you, I’ve linked it.

Now for the other one: the “million incarcerated”. The Grayzone reported this but I’ve also written about it myself independently but won’t cross reference, or circular reference my own work, it’s not hard to find that I never believed this to be true.

What the Grayzone did was to ask someone from the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights if they had said this and they said no – it was a question that was raised in a non-UN meeting, by a non-UN person, to others in the meeting who were not UN either. Unfortunately, a Reuters journalist was in the room and the rumour was born.

The truth is far more embarrassing, a certain German researcher, after conducting 8 interviews, extrapolated the information into a figure of at least 800,000 people incarcerated. And this is how misinformation is twisted so far from the truth.

An Albanian Muslim, Olsi Jaxexhi went and saw for himself, he asked the question can these people go home, the answer was, yes, they go home on Friday every week, he also asked, are they allowed to worship and the answer was yes, at home they cn, in schools in China there is no religion of any sort allowed. Olsi then went to the European Parliament and lied about it, not because he had evidence because, by his own admission in an interview with me, he said he didn’t believe the answers.

The reality, as the United Nations now knows, is that there are no abuses, they is no persecution, Muslims are free to visit mosques and practice as they wish, Xinjiang workers are all over China, Xinjiang food is available all over China and if you go to Xinjiang, you can listen to local radio stations speaking their language, you can meet with kids who speak it freely and you can even watch locally made TV shows in exactly the same way you can in Guangdong where my local TV station and radio stations broadcast in Cantonese.

Of course, if you have already been so badly misinformed that you think China is evil and you hate the place and the people, you might cover this hatred with platitudes such as I like the place and the people but hate the government

But unless you’ve been here and asked people who live here in China what they think, you won’t have a real picture because all the information you are likely to read is misinformation and when they aren’t misinforming you, they are omitting to tell you

Unsurprisingly, everyone who does visit China starts to slowly turn around, at first you think people won’t answer you honestly and they only say the like the CPC because they’re afraid but then you realise that this isn’t true, they love the CPC.

After a while you will remember what the Chinese did in 1911 to a government they didn’t like and then again in 1949 to another one they didn’t like, they overthrew them – then you start to understand why the CPC works so hard to meet the needs of the vast majority of people – they would be overthrown if they didn’t.

We westerners need to stop thinking of Chinese people as mindless and brainwashed but as the intelligent, diligent and hard-working people they really are, start planning your trip to see China, meet with them talk with them and open your mind

Alternatively, live with your ignorance and watch as this nation deals with the rest of the world and leaves the US and its cronies behind. Because that really is what’s happening now.

Totally agree. Went to Shanghi in 2014 with my wife & spent just over 3 weeks there. What a total knockout –so tech savvy & the building & other infrastructure is absolutely first class. People looked happy & going about freely. Saw very few policemen.
