The Philippines elected Ferdinand Marcos Jr. in the spring of 2022, and some hoped this would usher in a new era of the Filipino-China relations, specifically the Philippines sticking up for itself in the South China Sea. However those hopes have been dashed after Marcos Jr’s recent visit to Beijing. In this episode of China Uncensored, we talk about the Philippines’ history with China, what came out of the meeting in Beijing, and why the deals the two countries struck aren’t what they seem.

Thousands of #protesters are clashing with #police in a COVID-19 test kit plant in China—with boxes and stools flying. But what are they fighting for?

China’s swift reversal of its draconian COVID eradication policy following unprecedented protests in major Chinese cities last November appeared to be the first instance of public dissent that authorities acknowledged. The Washington Post reported a different story is playing out in police departments across the country. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is taking advantage of the surveillance systems they have built up over the past decade and have used adeptly during the pandemic to suppress activists an

#SpotlightOnChina #China #ChinaInsights A man surnamed Liu was arrested in Beijing for carrying over 280 pounds of fireworks in his car trunk. According to Chinese mainland media, Beijing police found the man transferring something from his car trunk into a house. After a quick investigation on the scene, police seized different types of fireworks, firecrackers and other decorative items for the Lunar New Year. ——————- #SpotlightOnChina #China #ChinaInsights

#Chinainsights#Chinayouth Comments under the footage are rather interesting. One Chinese wrote: “Xuchang fired the first shot against the ban on fireworks”, another wrote: “The experts were disappointed to see it! Some wrote: “Experts are disappointed to see this! Will they secretly call the police?” Others wrote: “Fireworks drive away all evil! Others jokingly wrote, “Those behind the organization and incitement will eventually be brought to justice.” The “White Paper Revolution” has planted the seeds of n

China likes to blame other countries for the global spread of Covid-19. While we may never know exactly how Covid started, what we do know is that China discovered it, covered it up, and then tried to keep other countries from protecting themselves from it. In this episode of China Unscripted, we explain why China should be held accountable for Covid, how the CCP (at all levels) covered it up, and how it withheld critical information that could have helped other countries protect themselves.

On January 4, Miles Yu, director of the China Center at Hudson Institute, in a commentary in the New York Post, writes that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) not only kills with brutality like other totalitarian regimes, but it also kills with “incompetence and stupidity.” ——————- #SpotlightOnChina #China #ChinaInsights

There are many people who would like to help China and see the Chinese people thrive and prosper. But to some, that means helping the Chinese Communist Party, which is the biggest threat to the Chinese people’s wellbeing there is. In this episode of China Uncensored, we look at what we keep getting wrong about China and the Chinese Communist Party, why conflating China with the CCP is problematic, and what things might look like for China without the CCP.

China are buddying up with another equally oppressive regime. The Taliban! A match made in heaven!

Last year, under the pressure of the CCP’s brutal tech crackdown and ailing economy, big industry firms had no other choice but to cut the workforce and reduce operating costs. According to a recent South China Morning Post report, Jack Ma’s Alibaba slashed nearly 10,000 employees in the June quarter. Meanwhile, gaming giant Tencent laid off 7,300 staff between April and September. The outlet noted these layoffs took a toll on the expensive property market of Chinese tech companies.  ——————- #

After Xi Jinping secured a third term in office, a lot of China watchers were quick to pin him as China’s all-powerful leader. But if there’s anything we can learn from Chinese Communist Party history, it’s that no one—no matter how powerful—is safe from their enemies. In this episode of China Unscripted, we talk about Xi Jinping’s rise within the Party, the power struggle between him and former Chinese leader Jiang Zemin, and whether Hu Jintao, another of China’s former leaders, was publicly purged by Xi.

The COVID-19 pandemic in China is getting more and more serious. According to spreading information, the situation in Shanghai hospitals recently has become very critical. There are hospitals with corpses piled up in the emergency hallway because there are no empty beds, and people are lining up from midnight to get a number.

Chips are the intention of the technological competition between the United States and China. The country is reported to have been preparing a support package for its semiconductor industry. However, it’s pausing the plan because of COVID’s resurgence. According to Reuters, China’s been working on a 1 trillion yuan (almost $146 billion) support package. However, as Bloomberg quotes sources familiar with the matter, top officials are debating how to move away from costly subsidies.

As many of the pandemic-era restrictions are lifted in China, the Chinese Communist Party continues to cover up the facts on the ground. A US plane has a close encounter with a Chinese jet that flies dangerously close to it. Taiwan has sent military equipment to China, the country that wants to invade it, to be repaired. Watch this episode of China Uncensored for that and more of this week’s China news headlines.

China’s draconian “zero-COVID” policies have delayed medical treatment and caused many deaths across the country since the COVID-19 outbreak. A Taiwanese businessman told the Central News Agency (CNA) one word to describe the COVID prevention campaign was “tragic.” Moreover, it’s hard to find a person who isn’t infected. ——————- #SpotlightOnChina #China #ChinaInsights

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) continues with its plan to increase its military strength to exert more significant influence in the global geopolitical framework. In June 2022, the largest Chinese-built warship, the Fujian aircraft carrier, was launched. As the final stages of construction continue at the Shanghai shipyard, its captain, Qian Shumin, announced in an interview with official Chinese media that the ship will begin its first sea trials this year.

Recently, a senior journalist based in China wrote an article saying that a pandemic in China should be regarded as a political disaster for the Chinese government. The party is down to levels that he has never seen before. According to Howard French , a columnist at Foreign Policy, China was a self-inflicted “victim” of COVID-19, but times changed. Now, the Chinese can obtain more information, and it is impossible for Beijing to render soldiers as “victims” through falsehoods like in the Tiananmen Square
