China recorded a drop in population for the first time in six decades, an outcome of its One-Child Policy. It is the first country to “get old before it gets rich”. It is a problem that President Xi Jinping has noted in several speeches. Even if the government is successful in encouraging Chinese citizens to have more babies, it will still face an aging population in the short and medium term. Already, the country is experiencing a shortage of workers in some industries. Could external and internal migr

After OpenAI released ChatGPT to the world last November, the race was on in China to create something a Chinese version of it. Several Chinese companies began working on their own models, but it was Baidu’s ERNIE bot that beat all the others to the finish line (or at least kind of). In this episode of China Uncensored, we look at why China was so slow to develop its own AI chatbot, what responses a socialist ChatGPT gives on sensitive topics, and China’s proposed regulations for generative AI.

Australian Strategic Policy Institute Director Bec Shrimpton says China is giving everybody reason to be “very concerned” about a threat of war. “There’s no transparency, there’s no reassurance in their military build up and it’s huge, it is by far the biggest in the world,” Ms Shrimpton told Sky News Australia. “The warning time has been reducing for quite a while … we don’t have time, we’ve got to move now.”

The current President of the Federated States of Micronesia, David Panuelo, wants the country to recognize Taiwan and de-recognize China. However he lost the last election, so he’s only going to be in office till May. He’s talked to Taiwan about what he would need to make the switch, and Taiwan has been supportive.

Saudi Arabia & China JUST SHUTDOWN All Oil To The US With Oil Sanctions Collapsing The US Economy! Saudi Arabia and China’s ties seem to be getting stronger whilst the relationship with the US continues to loosen as Saudi Arabia’s cabinet recently approved the decision to join the China-led Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO). This could be a signal that Riyadh, with all its energy reserves, is choosing sides in the Ukraine war. Saudi Arabia, in part stung by US president Joe Biden’s refusal to deal wi

What the Guizhou government did was very unusual. The rule of the Chinese Communist Party CCP officialdom has always been to report the good news but not the bad. The provincial research center, according to the usual procedure, should report to the provincial government first and then address the matter in private. However, what happened was before it officially reported to the central government, it posted an article publicly to expose its own scandal, saying that the province wasn’t able to solve the pro

Recently, China’s General Administration of Customs released its import and export data for March. Surprisingly, exports increased by 14.8% YoY, almost exceeding everyone’s expectations. However, Chinese ports did not appear to be busy, with empty containers still piling up, which is not consistent with the surge in exports. Additionally, there has been a flood of news online about foreign trade companies relocating out of China or going bankrupt, as well as a wave of massive unemployment. So, what is the r

There’s still a debate about whether Covid-19 escaped from a lab in China. But even if China has managed to scuttle investigations into its origin and create uncertainty about whether it was man made, what’s clear is that China has all the right conditions for a contagious and deadly virus to leak and create a pandemic. In this episode of China Uncensored, we explain why China will be the reason for the next pandemic, what Chinese media say about poor conditions in Chinese biolabs, and why the whole world s

#chinainsights The Chinese Communist Party actively supports Macron’s concept of “strategic autonomy.” Beijing officials constantly refer to this concept in their dealings with European countries. According to French officials, Macron and CCP leader Xi Jinping have discussed the Taiwan issue “intensively.” According to a press release issued by the Chinese Foreign Ministry, on the Taiwan issue, Xi stressed that “anyone who expects China to compromise and back down on the Taiwan issue is delusional.” Macro

When the US fails to give support to like-minded countries, China comes knocking to offer itself as an alternative. China’s help is especially welcomed by countries that are similarly corrupt, which is why US neglecting its role as an international watchdog is a threat to the the current international order. In this episode of China Unscripted, we discuss the case of Daniel Suidani, a China critic in the Solomon Islands; the Chinese Communist Party’s 3 warfares, and why the US needs to stand its ground with

Where did #COVID19 really come from? A Senate report is shining the spotlight on #Wuhan’s infamous virology lab, concluding there could have been not one, but two virus leaks. But key data points are still missing, and the U.S. intelligence community is holding back. Meanwhile, Beijing is firmly denying the lab leak theory. 00:00 Intro 00:45 Senate Report Finds Two Wuhan Lab Leaks 03:50 U.S. Arrests Two for Chinese Police Station in NY 07:34 Uyghur Lawyer Condemns Chinese Police Outposts China Uses Embassi

Before the official start of the outbreak, in November 2019, Chinese researchers may have started manufacturing two Covid vaccines, according to a US senate report. The allegations are contained in a 300-page report that said the pandemic was most likely caused by a lab leak and was the outcome of a “research-related incident” in Wuhan. The “presumption of accuracy” was no longer warranted, it was claimed, for the hypothesis that Covid-19 changed from an animal to a human in a market. #covid #pandemic #cov

ChatGPT, the artificial intelligence chatbot developed by U.S. firm OpenAI, has caused excitement around the world. Now Chinese technology giants are rolling out their rivals to ChatGPT. Baidu is testing its chatbot called Ernie Bot, while Alibaba is rolling out Tongyi Qianwen.

The Chinese Communist Party is in many ways like the Italian mafia. It’s violent, insular, and overreacts to everything with extreme force. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the CCP and the Italian mafia have teamed up. In this episode of China Uncensored, we look at China’s history in Italy, how the Italian mafia works with Chinese triads with the blessing of the Chinese government, and how criminal proceeds are laundered through China.

How to solve the problem of unemployment? Officials in Guangdong Province, located in the Pearl River Delta, have come up with a solution, that is, to send young people to the countryside.
