I’ve creating contents about #Xinjiang for more than 2 years and I’ve come to a conclusion that “very few people genuinely wanna know what’s going on in Xinjiang and really care about the well-being of XJ people.”
Most of those who “stand up for the Uyghur” are just attention seekers and opportunists. They either side with western MSM accusing “China’s brutal oppression in XJ” or side with Chinese state media claiming “everything is perfectly fine in XJ.”
Both are not true, people in XJ know the real situation is far more complicated and nuanced. We can only rely on our own to make XJ a better place, those who live in thousands miles away might be able to offer some help but mostly they just make things even more complex.
At this point, you may wanna ask me “how about you? Aren’t you shilling for the CCP?” Well I’m just an ordinary Chinese citizen, I’ve done my best. I wanted to do more but then realized that I may complicate things more like the others.
Anyhow, I’m beating around bush now😓. Hope you’ve got the idea.

For those of you who genuinely interested in Xinjiang and its rich culture, I recommend you to watch these videos of mine, they often get much less views compare to my political videos:

This was me years ago when I was traveling in India, notice the "save Tibet" shirt with snow lion flag? I got it in Bylakuppe which is the second largest exile-Tibetan settlement in India. Yeah, I used to be a anti-CCP lib who stood up against CCP's "oppression" in #Tibet.😂 &1 ImageImage
In short, I was brainwashed by anti-#China media and "overseas #Chinese democracy activists". I had exposed to tons of videos, articles about Tiananmen square protests and "human rights abuses in Tibet". I had also read Dalai Lama's biographies and firmly believed that Tibet &2
should've been freed from the CCP. Although I had been to Tibet, I had seen people's living conditions were relatively well and I had seen the extraordinary Qinghai-Tibet railway. That said, another voice in mind constantly reminded me that "they need freedom and democracy". &3
