The thing with Trump thinking he had North Korea under control was hilarious. Not sure how he expected to control another country if he can't run his country or one of his businesses.

In episode 11, Wilmer Valderrama called him Zazu. So yes, it was already established by this point.

Does anyone know why we've hardly been hearing about Uyghurs over the past year or so? I remember it was covered frequently in media and talked about all over on SNS until around October 2023 or so.

@Airdrifting 3 ай бұрын

Because it's a nasty lie from the start. Let's talk about concentration camps, One that can house millions, has to be at least the size of Gaza (which is a modern day concentration camp for comparison), easy to spot on a satellite map, you see any pictures of so called "Xinjiang concentration camps?" China basically gives out two weeks free VISA to many western countries since earlier this year, and tons have gone to Xinjiang and guess what they found? Obviously KZbin won't give those videos any views.

@moogle68 3 ай бұрын

@@heiskanbuscadordelaverdad8709 I don't think it's fair to say that "no on wants to do anything about it." I think most people, including those in power that _can_ do something about it, _want_ to do something about it, but can't because it is a complicated situation, and the unfortunate truth is that persecution of a minority group is not bad enough on it's own to justify a *war* with China, which is likely what would follow if any nation decided to do something about it by force. Nothing is more dangerous than a dictator that knows how to take advantage of nuance and plausible deniability (as well as how to leverage it's colossal role in the global economy). China would have to be caught red handed doing some holocaust level shit for any country to be willing to take matters into their own hands, and even then it would have to be a country with a fairly assertive leader, imo.

I think not so many are free to leave the province now. Live in mainland (southern) for my whole life just can't see Uyghurs often in recent years.

@williambrasky3891 3 ай бұрын

Because china’s economy is doing badly, and that gets more views? Well, that and the crackdown on foreigners (especially journalists) that happened during/ after COVID. Also, they have since gone to greater lengths to cover it up and create room for plausible deniability. Plausible working hard. Whereas before 2020, it was done more or less openly, now it all happens under the guise of the penal system. They have continued build/ expanding prisons in the region to this day. All we have now is first/ second hand accounts. No more footage. Too risky now.

The stuff on China in this episode is about 70% inncorrect. I am a US journalist who has been living in China for 12 years. Just some examples of what Oliver's team got wrong: Winnie is NOT banned in China. You can buy a Winnie doll in most Malls, Disneyland in Shanghai and his cartoons are on TV. The Belt and Road has 154 countries not 60. There is ZERO evidence of the use of torture in China. China's economy is not 'slowing.' This is a western perspective. China's economy is adding a trillion dollars a year. There is no 'social credit system' in China. Just a credit system, similar to the one in the US based on if you've paid your bills on time. Go to any church in China and you'll find statues of Jesus. I've NEVER seen pics of Xi in a Church, Mosque or Temple in China. There are more lies about China here, but this is enough to make any reasonable person realize this episode is completely bias, incorrect and devoid of value. Not sure if Oliver is just completely ignorant or has a CIA mouthpiece on his staff feeding him lies.

@kakamamakaka1086 3 ай бұрын

"Winnie is not banned" Is that actually true? I play a bunch of chinese Mobage where any version of the name "Winnie" is not allowed or a few cases got my account banned. Just in case you think it was for profanity or something, these games have no in-game communication in it. There is also a wikipedia page on the winnie the pooh ban

@emiliskog 3 ай бұрын

Winnie was mentioned as temporarily banned, this episode is 6 years old so the number of countries as part of the belt and road was likely less then, of course there's zero public evidence of torture do you think any country engaged in it wouldn't try to hide it very well and when the leader is authoritarian it's a lot easier to hide things, slowing is a relative measure I don't know the actual economics but say it was even faster before and now growing slower that would still be considered slowing also once again 6 year old data, and the church part is mentioned as a specific region and again it's 6 years old
