The #battle for the future is now. While #microchips are king of our current lifestyles, acting as the brains of our electronics, what’s the tech of the future? Many are pointing to AI. As artificial intelligence seeps into different aspects of our lives, the questions now are: Will AI make the human brain obsolete? What will our future lifestyles look like? And which superpower is leading in that race? 00:00 Intro 01:00 Hearing: AI Could Spur Bioweapon Development 05:43 Pre-Birth Organ Matching? China’s

As part of the AUKUS deal, Australia will get nuclear-powered submarines to counter China’s ambitions in the Indo-Pacific. According to China, AUKUS violates the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). Beijing has argued the transfer of nuclear weapons materials from a nuclear-weapon state to a non-nuclear-weapon state was a “blatant” violation of the spirit of the pact. Currently, no party to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty other than the five countries the NPT recognizes as weapons states — the US,

There is no doubt that the decline in sales in the Chinese market has an increasing impact on Hyundai Motor Group’s global presence. In 2022, excluding the Chinese market, Hyundai’s sales would increase by 4.2% year-on-year, while if the Chinese market is included, it would only increase by 1.4%. So, what makes Kia and Hyundai so unpopular in China? Compared with the good performance of Japanese cars in China, is China going to completely abandon Korean cars? OK, that and more is exactly what we are going

In our first topic today, I talked about Xi Jinping’s biggest fear. As a matter of fact, he has another big fear, which is the Chinese economy. In this video, I won’t talk about those boring and perhaps meaningless economic figures. Instead, I will show you some raw clips from China, from jobless workers and small business owners. Let’s talk about what they say and feel about the Chinese economy. After you watch them, I believe you will get a much better idea of the true situation in China, and how it coul

The alliance was formed to share intelligence between English-speaking democracies that more or less share the same values. However there have been calls to have New Zealand removed from the organization over its ties to China. In this episode of China Uncensored, we look at Australia’s cozy relationship with China going back decades, why New Zealand is so afraid to stand up to C

Foreigners can no longer withdraw their money in mainland China This is not a joke, folks. Even investment guru Mark Mobius is unable to withdraw his cash from HSBC in Shanghai. Mobius, who has been investing in China for 30 years and has a wide network of connections in China, personally told Fox host Maria Bartiromo that he’s unable to get his mitts on his own money. The amount of money he cannot withdraw is only 3 million yuan, not billions of capital. If someone as well-connected in China as Mobius ca

Why are people shouting “China must go” on the streets of Kenya?

Due to the transfer of the industrial chain and a significant reduction in export orders, factories in the Pearl River Delta Economic Zone and the Yangtze River Delta Economic Zone, which are the most active economic regions in China, have been forced to close down, relocate or reduce production on a large scale. This has not only led to a large number of manufacturing workers losing their jobs but also caused a downturn in surrounding industries. On March 6th, large numbers of rural workers gathered at Gu

Xi Jinping often dances around the edges of naming the United States when he looks for a scapegoat for China’s problems. But recently, his attacks haven’t been so veiled—and everything is America’s fault. In this episode of China Uncensored, we discuss Xi Jinping’s use of cold war rhetoric while blaming the US for having a cold war mentality, how China accuses the US of doing what it’s really doing, and what promises he made to Chinese citizens about protecting them from the terrible US.

Matsu island is part of Taiwan, but lies just off the coast of mainland China. The residents of the island have been cut off from the outside world since their internet cables running under the sea were cut. Taipei has refrained from directly placing blame, but some officials believe that Beijing cut the cables.

#TikTok is feeling the heat. Over half of U.S. states have already banned the app on government devices. But what about a total ban? #Washington seems to be moving in that direction, with the White House saying it’s backing a Senate bill that aims to do just that—and it’s not confined to TikTok. It would cover foreign-based tech that poses a national security threat. India has banned TikTok since 2020, with a smattering of countries following suit. This latest push comes amid growing concerns about data co

Chinese made #cranes on American ports are coming under scrutiny. That’s over fears they could be used for #spying. But what information could Beijing get from them? And how does data on what Americans are moving in and out of ports relate to national security? Besides that, what if China shuts down the cranes remotely? Would we run into the same snarled supply chains that popped up during the pandemic? 00:00 Intro 00:38 Pentagon Worried About Chinese Spy Cranes 04:16 Apple Supplier Shifting Production to

Joining us in this episode is Terry Glavin, a Canadian journalist who writes a column for the Otta

China’s facing a food crisis, and it doesn’t look like it’s going to go away any time soon. In this episode of China Uncensored, we look at why China’s arable land is shrinking, what China’s doing to increase the food supply, and why food security is so linked to the CCP’s legitimacy.

China warns of catastrophic consequences if the “US doesn’t hit the brakes”. The joke is, China’s brought this on itself.

If China’s freshly appointed foreign minister Qin Gang is to be believed, the answer is: yes – China and the US could be headed for an all-out confrontation. At his first press conference in the post, he slammed Washington’s approach of “competition without conflict” and warned that the current dynamic threatened global peace. Speaking on the sidelines of the National People’s Congress – China’s rubber stamp parliament – Qin defied those expecting a more reconciliatory tone after the recent spy balloon inc

Ah, good old TikTok. This app is definitely not linked to the CCP, and we also saw a pig flying past our window!

Gordan Chang, columnist, lawyer and author of “The Coming Collapse of China,” said China’s new budget is fascinating because it’s getting a larger portion of the regime’s resources.

When you see Chinese companies like Temu and Alibaba selling things new that are cheaper than what you’d pay at a thrift store, you know there’s something shady going on. That shadyness is making it almost impossible for non-Chinese companies to compete with Chinese companies, which is how China takes over whole markets. In this episode of China Uncensored, we look at what gives Chinese companies their advantage, how China takes over whole markets, and what the real cost of cheap Chinese goods is.

Taiwan Defence Minister Chiu Kuo-cheng has warned that China’s increased military spending this year suggests the island faces a greater military threat from Beijing. He added that the island has to be on alert for a “sudden entry” by the Chinese military into areas close to its territory. Mr Chiu said it could be as close as 12 nautical miles from Taiwan’s coastlines, which would be considered a serious threat to the island’s security. He added that Taiwan would exercise restraint, but has made preparation
