Chinese state media, the Global Times, conducted a poll across 16 cities in China to ask Chinese people what their favorite country was. Canada was the worst. I also discuss where other countries fell on the poll, as well as whether or not China faked the entire thing. ◘ Support me on Patreon to talk to me directly and support my work – http://www.patreon.com/laowhy86 ◘ Donate and support this channel through Paypal http://paypal.me/cmilkrun Crypto support ◘ Bitcoin – bc1qrvvga0c4kn69rlte47q0tzrhugn9pf4

China is a strange country. When couples wanted to have multiple children, the State told them that they couldn’t have more than one. Now, that the State wants couples to reproduce more children, couples are saying- no, one child is enough for us.

The US and Taiwan have a lot in common—both are democracies, both have rule of law, and both share a common enemy: China. Despite their similarities though, the US and Taiwan have had a fraught relationship. In this episode of China Unscripted, we take a deep look at the US-Taiwan relationship, explore the possibilities were the two countries to become closer, and reminisce about Taiwanese beef hotpot. Joining us in this episode is Ian Easton, the senior director at the Project 2049 Institute and author of

This year, Xi Jinping’s career is on the line. He wants to be made the Chinese President for an unprecedented third time, and it is yet to be seen whether the CCP will be courteous enough to give him what he wants.

The Chinese growth rate is down. China itself says that its Gross Domestic Product slowed to 4 percent in the fourth quarter of 2021. But in a country where Presidents fudge their swimming speed records, can we really trust the growth numbers?

China is facing yet another wave of Covid, and in its infinite wisdom, the Communist Party is trying to fight Covid the same way it struggles against political dissidents: by locking it up. Watch this episode of China Uncensored for more on China’s insane lockdowns, how some of the CCP’s Covid policies could be making things worse, and how the CCP has dealt with the pushback.

The Chinese regime has likely understated the Covid-19 death rate by as much as 17,000 percent in a systematic data suppression campaign aimed at sustaining its political image across the world.

Like mainland China, Hong Kong is still clinging to the “zero covid” pipe dream. While the lockdowns haven’t squelched the virus, it could do serious damage to Hong Kong’s economy. In this episode of China Unscripted, we discuss the strict measures Hong Kong has adopted to stop the spread of the virus, how China’s response to the virus influenced the rest of the world, and Hong Kong officials are being quarantined after breaking covid rules.

China is trying to crush the Omicron variant with an iron fist. Its aggressive measures have triggered ‘rare criticism’ on Chinese social Media. Palki Sharma gets you 5 videos of China’s crackdown.

Xi Jinping has apparently vapourised his “best friend” and the number 3 in the CCP on the charges of being implicit in anti-Jinping activities. Watch this video.

China’s zero covid policy has zero chance of succeeding, which is why they’ve changed the definition of zero covid. You know how it is when you stake your reputation on a policy that just doesn’t work. In this episode of China Uncensored, we discuss the extreme measures China is taking to prevent the covid from spreading, why it’s so hard to report positive cases in China, and what Beijing is doing to protect the 2022 Beijing Olympics.

Have you heard people say China has lifted millions of people out of poverty? How about that China is a “developing” country? Or that the CCP has never invaded another country? In this episode of China Uncensored, we debunk some of the most common lies that China has told the world.

Distress with properties is mounting when it comes to China’s offshore debt market. Credit stress climbed to its highest level in December, according to Bloomberg’s Credit Tracker. Bloomberg’s Rebecca Choong Wilkins reports on “Bloomberg Markets: China Open.”

Chinese authorities locked down after discovering two cases of omicron in Anyang, a city of 5.5 million people about 300 miles outside Beijing. It’s the third Chinese city now in lockdown and comes less than a month before the Beijing Olympics. These lockdowns are tests of China’s zero-COVID policy, which authorities have called a success. But critics ask: at what cost? Nick Schifrin reports.

China has been telling the world that its brutal lockdowns in service of reaching zero covid cases have largely been effective. But China is also changing the definition of the “zero” in zero covid to better align with the uncomfortable reality that covid-19 cannot be arrested or suppressed into extinction. In this Just Us episode, we also discuss Elon Musk’s relationship with China, a new Xinhua propaganda spoof making fun of the US and UK, Wall Street waking up to China investment risks, Chinese backing o

The U.S. says it won’t be deterred by China’s latest sanctions. Beijing recently penalized four American officials serving on a religious freedom commission. The move came after the U.S. levied its own sanctions. China plans to keep a steep tariff in place for at least another year. The tax impacts a certain U.S. product–and dates back to the Trump era. Stay away from Chinese meats. That’s the suggestion Germany’s Anti-Doping Agency made to athletes, as they venture to Beijing for the Winter Olympics. T

Xi’an is a city of 13 million people located in the west of China. Since December 22, the city has been locked down because of a new round of covid outbreak. The Chinese authority claimed victory this week in its fight to contain the community spread. They used a new method called societal zero out that means the government moves all close contacts to the infected people to quarantine centers outside the city, thus those left in the city will be safe and a zero-covid status can be reached. In this episode,
