The world is watching closely, now that Chinese leader #XiJinping touched down in Moscow for a meeting with Russia’s #VladimirPutin. Ukraine is on the table, as well as whether Xi Jinping can broker a ceasefire before the west. But on the backdrop of China’s reported weapons sales to Russia, questions arise. Will the meeting really call for peace? And what about the arrest warrant for Putin over alleged war crimes in Ukraine? 00:00 Intro 00:45 Xi & Putin: What the Three-Day Moscow Visit Means: Analysts 02

The Chinese Communist Party has been vacuuming up US user data for years, and there’s no telling what all it’s doing with it. A mainland Chinese blogger who is a member of the CPPCC said a resolution he put forth creating a Taiwan hit list was passed this year. It’s not clear if that’s true, but if it is, it wouldn’t be far fetched to think China is creating a US hit list as well. In this episode of China Unscripted, we discuss China’s timeline for invading Taiwan, the Biden administration’s policies towar

In early March, the Hubei province joined forces with many car companies to launch a government-enterprise subsidy policy, which means that whilst enjoying the price reductions from car companies, car buyers can also receive government subsidies ranging from RMB$5000 to RMB $90000. According to the Chinese media, many car companies in Hubei province are participating, with Wuhan-based Dongfeng Group, China’s second-largest car manufacturer being the main supporter. The Citroen C6, originally priced at RMB$

The lifting of pandemic restrictions, quantitative easing, and national policies favouring economic rebound – any of these can be great news for a marketplace. But when combined, they can be even more powerful. With these benefits in mind, the Chinese government hoped that its real estate market would quickly rebound. Bank loans were also eased to encourage people to buy housing. How could the housing market in China not prosper? However, the situation is the opposite of what was expected. Numerous homes h

China’s new Foreign Minister Qin Gang, who used to be the ambassador to the US, warned that if the US continues down its current path, there will “surely be conflict and confrontation”. Chinese leader Xi Jinping said something similar in a recent speech, calling out the US by name for suppressing China. In this episode of China Unscripted, we discuss whether this is an escalation or just more of the same, the Biden administration’s approach to China versus the Trump administration’s, and what it means that

China says it’s trying to crack down on money laundering, and in some cases it might be. But it’s also a true that China is a hotbed of money laundering that’s totally approved by the Chinese government. In this episode of China Uncensored, we look at how criminals and drug cartels use Chinese banks to launder money, how Chinese trade is also involved, and how the Chinese government has responded to money laundering investigations.

Experts are asking whether China is measuring #pollution or preparing for war, following its use of green #laserbeams over Hawaii. While the satellite is for monitoring pollution, questions arise: why measure pollution so far away? And what other kind of information can they get? Experts point to American military bases in Hawaii, as well as the fleet of submarines in the sea. 00:00 Intro 00:43 China’s Green Lasers Map More Than Pollution: Experts 04:04 DeSantis Warns About Biden’s Aid to Ukraine 05:53 Ta

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 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

New Zealand is part of an intelligence sharing network called the Five Eyes, which includes the US, Australia, the UK and Canada.

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

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.

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.

#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?
