FYI for those skeptical about pro-China propaganda online: Chinese channel with fake videos about how there is not really a genocide going on in Xinjiang: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5hykSm2o7oRpOyFrMYjeBg https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5hykSm2o7oRpOyFrMYjeBg This girl is actually responding to a video exposing these ridiculous videos, trying to make the argument that the criticism is actually anti-China propaganda: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYUmBDJPX6k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYUmBDJPX6k Random white monkey guy trying to make the same argument: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvEdUm4yIzw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvEdUm4yIzw Keep in mind that in mainland China and especially Xinjiang, YouTube is inaccessible.

Remember when the pushed those "criminals"-confession videos? So hyper-creepy. Like here western media are a thousand people confessing to crimes at gunpoint, that proofs that all we do is okay. Not a single mention of that episode in all of western media. A flag of truth, hammered into the no-mans land of the western culture wars. Like seeds of a pomergrenade, we shall identify cringy propaganda by the slogans shoved into it ;)

  Not really, he and serpentza has gone in the opposite direction I.e. grifting. Which is sad cuz their experience is one of a kind.

    Grifting how? I havent seen them do much beyond the regular shilling for nordvpn and asking for patreon donations that come as standard for most youtubers who have bills to pay.

      Their rhetoric about China has often time been very loaded deliberately or out of ignorance. Compared to how they were during their stay in China especially serpentza saying how he "gets" why talking about politics is so important while very obviously barely cares about it (zero interest in his current country's politicsfor instance). Or their weird "we are the true journalists" shtick like with covid or agood example being their claim of being the first to report illegal fishing by China when news outlets reported on it a week before.

        I can kind of sympathize with their sudden hyperpoliticization given what happened to them. I sincerely hope they dont start talking about america. What would be the point?

  Used to be while he was actually in China. Apparently he had some trouble with the authorities, falling on the wrong side of some rules that apply to journalists, and left the country in a hurry. After that it seems that he found that he could get more clicks/money with sensationalists anti-China content. Not nearly as good as his prior content.

  I am not exactly sure why every time he comes up on HN those who praise him are downvoted - I don't know about the situation with him and serpentza - I have only seen his videos.

    Probably mainland Chinese immigrants. They're often notoriously snippy about hate they see as being directed at China and those two really hate the CCP.
