    it’s a nice video. Xinjiang is beautiful and his Mandarin is impressive, but I don’t get the title.

    The popular tourist spots and common light topics of conversation are exactly the China and Xinjiang they want you to see.

    This is the Xinjiang they don’t want you to see:

      The Xinjiang they don’t want you to see is someone being walked in cuffs?

      Yeah, literally no other country in the world imprisons people. How dare.

        actually, literally all other countries imprison people.

        Detainment is a much wider problem than you think.

          Yes, I was being sarcastic. Sorry, I thought that was obvious.

      Looks like a jail or prison of some sort, they have those in every country on earth so idk why you think they would care particularly who sees it, also no way for us to know where the pic was actually taken so kinda pointless for you to post it like this

        this is one of the Xinjiang “reeducation” camps.

            not really, they’re indefinite detainees whose families are scared for them.

            like 1 in 6 people in the region.

            it’s not very cool.

        about 1 in 6 uyghurs are or have been detained in prison camps.

        this video isn’t showing “xinjiang normalcy”.

    Great video, isn’t the first one I’ve seen about the region, probably won’t be the last. I always love how in every one of these type of videos if you go and talk to regular people everyone is pretty nice no matter what country you are in. Kinda just proves the the majority of the world’s problems are not the construction of the average person, but a select few individuals who make the world a challenging place to live in.

    Anyways, videos like these make me want to live or at the very least visit China so very very badly! I’d need way more time than I have because China is HUGE!
