Leave Your Questions for Me (Part 2)
I hope you've enjoyed these past few weeks where I've answered viewer questions at the end of YouTube episodes. I notice that there's a small number of people asking a large number of questions. And while this is great, I also want to make sure to answer new patron's questions. There's more than 2,000 of you...so no excuses. Leave your questions for me.
Leave questions right here in this post, and/or beneath the videos in future episodes.

Hi Chris, I my wife and I enjoy your videos very much. Why did you shave your mustache? Are the Chinese State economists calculating GDP with a giant abacus, and do you believe they have managed their economy so precisely that, unlike all other economies with quarter-to-quarter volatility, that that nice, straight line of GDP is "fer real?"
Hi, Chris. Google is silencing a number of youtube channels that create anti-chinese contents across the world. Why do they are always so anxious not to hurt the feelings of China? Just for money?
Hello Chris, I just wanted to ask you if you know about the situation in Venezuela, they owe more than 60 billion dollars to China, it's the same situation you've been talking about in the latest videos, but the difference is that we are talking about south america. really close. do you think It might be a menace to the US in the future? thanks for the opportunity to express some of my concerns.
Do you think Trump is planning to invade China's ally Iran, Chris? I love it!
Hi Chris. With Xi Jinping promoted to president for life, does he now have enough power to take down Jiang Zemin in his anti corruption campaign?
Dear Shelley, Matt and Chris. What are yours thoughts on EU - China relationships?
Will you ever come to Canada?
What would China do about future mass unemployment; possibly caused by the breakdown of trade relationships with their (current) Western partners? Can China implement a social security system to address this problem? Or will this never be an issue for a centrally planned economy like China's?
Is there anything happening in China at the moment that isn't a prelude to the Apocalypse? It all seems rather gloomy of late...
Hey Chris
Hey Chris! What would be a possible South China Sea conflict? Will Vietnam, Malaysia, Philippines, and Indonesia unite to confront China? In such case, what would the US react?
Do you think there is a nefarious plan to fill the ghost city's with displaced people. And build over abandoned villages?
What are the most dangerous countries to be living in right now near and around china? By dangerous I mean danger from the communist party of chinas influence or potential military threats.
Have the people in Xinjiang, actualy posed a threat when it comes to terrorism? Is there another side to the storie or has the CCP made up this story?
With the United States announcing it's USSF or United States Space Force, do you think China will follow suit? I mean they already have a freakin laser in the works... Is this just wishful thinking for someone who wants to join the space Marines?
Chris do you think Ghengis Kahn caused the Chinese people to be "over educated"??
I'm told that Ghengis Khan, in order to help educate the Chinese,taught them how to pick up one load with two sticks and two loads with one stick! He said to practice those skills and he would come back and teach them more useful things............he never came back!
Hi Chris, Shelley and CU team, From what I understand a large part of all of China's actions has been for internal political stability under the Communist Party. What are the main comments the Chinese press is receiving from the Communist Party about the escalating trade war with the US? Also I would imagine S.Korea and Taiwan must be freaking out. Are the Philippines still orbiting closer to China now? Thanks CU, I have been wstchihg a couple of years now.
Chris, while in Hong Kong I saw a few semi-permanent protests. One for Falun Gong and against the CCP and another immediately next to it protesting against Falun Gong's disgraced leader. Both finished "work" at almost exactly 5pm which makes both sides seem less genuine than I had hoped - especially from the Falun Gong side. I know New Tang Dynasty (your affiliated station) has been linked to Falun Gong for funding. This is the only thing I get hung up on. Please spell out the political agenda for Falun Gong and the New Tang Dynasty. Thank you!
Hi Chris, there is a rationale among many Chinese that since China is so large and diverse, implementing American style democracy on its political system right away will only bring about chaos, like what happened in Iraq or Syria, if not worse. I'm wondering if you want to comment on that? Thanks and keep up the good work!
Do you think our assumptions of universal truth that everyone strives for maximum freedom and limited government intrusion maybe false. Would there be people that prefers being ruled in a system of a totalitarian state? (I assume it is universal truth that it would be enjoyable being the high echelon of top ruling class in a totalitarian state instead of being ruled in one) How would you explain all these western Chinaphiles that are living in China and chose that place as there home?
Bill Clinton once commented about rising China - if US-led west can hold off China's rise until 2050, China would subsequently become less powerful due to their demographic bomb of aging population (ie getting old before getting rich) and a lack of immigration. Do you think Bill Clinton's point is valid and if you think the west can hold off until then?
It would be cool if you could make some episodes about 20th century Chinese history. It would help bring context to today's news. It would be interesting to learn when and where certain presidents were established.
That would be realy cool.
Hi Chris I am a big fan of China Uncensored and your hosting charm. Do you think the Chinese economy will fall like the Tower of Babel? The CCP is exploiting Capitalism to keep the Chinese people complacent. I am strongly dis-incentivized to purchase Made in (Mainland) China now that I know fueling Chinese globalization only helps dictators in power.
sir
WE love u.
Christopher - YOU are risking your life, and for that WE are immensely appreciative. I see no humanity in the CCP of what was China. But then again, was there ever a humane regime there. Think not. Hence, my next commentary: Stay true, worry not. We believe in China Uncensored. Tell the fuckin world. Never give in.
Christopher -
Hi Chris, have you read “How the Specter of Communism Is Ruling Our World”? If yes, can you please tell us what you think about it? If not, please read it, it's amazing!
Is there any hope left for a real Hong Kong democracy?
hey Chris, what's the situation on the indian - chinese border ?
Hey Chris, I have a question. Chinese high tech companies are well known for collecting private data from people inside and outside China through their high-tech products. Some of them have been banned. Do you think Chinese Communist Party, CCP, is behind this privacy data collection? If so, do you think such data collection links to helping Made in China 2025 initiative such as AI research?
Chris, between CCP touting China's economic growth and Western media claiming China's economic slowdown. What might be an accurate indicator of how China's economy is really faring?
Chris, what inspired you to cover the CCP and who are your mentors?
Chris, which flavor of tea would you highly recommend for others to taste?
Oh, and I have a question about the health of your venture. How are you all doing? Are you growing at a steady pace? Many YouTube views? I hope so!
Another interesting episode might be to look at the trajectory of China as a rising world power through the following historical comparison: The two cotton producing nations of USA and Egypt were in a similar place during the early industrial revolution. One nation fizzled and the other succeeded in monopolizing cotton and becoming the current hegemon. Noam Chomsky credits this difference to Egypt being under British "rule" and the USA very independently imposing massive tariffs to ignore free trade and develop our own textile manufacturing. So if China can withstand a trade war with today's "British Empire" and continue with their economic agenda of One Belt and made in China etc.... that could set the stage for the unseating of the USA.
Why do you say "Chinese Communist Party" out in full every time? Wouldn't it be easier to just say "Chinese government?" Seems more time-saving and doesn't confuse new viewers who don't know what the CCP is.
You're either unaware of the subtleties between the CCP and the idea of a Chinese government OR you're trying to get our boy Chris here to admit that the CCP and its military wing are truly and simply the Chinese government (which is partially a falsehood) What i mean to say is the CCP is only the defacto Chinese government
Along the same lines as this and referencing the Hudson Institute speech from Peter Navarro re/the coming Trade war (June 28th, <a href="https://youtu.be/eRnIse9v_jc):" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/eRnIse9v_jc):</a> Apparently the "Made in China 2025" policy has been censored in China (!) due to the sudden need to hide the intent of the policy, thanks largely to Navarro's quantitative details of China's foreign trade policy. I'm curious if anyone has seen any other reactions of fallout from that report?
Is it possible that the CCP's Belt and Road Initiative will encourage manufacturing production to move to countries with a lower (labor) cost?
Given the impending trade war, I wonder what the comparison between companies that chose not to do business in China such as Google will be to companies that based their growth on business in China. Maybe a comparative study would make a good episode.
Have you ever eaten "Stinky" Tofu? Does it really smell as bad as they say?
SC1809: The paper castles of New York and London have artificially suppressed the 'price' of gold and silver for almost a hundred years. Our disastrous and warped mark to model theories in the west are only bested by the pure command economy gangster lunacy spewing from Beijing. Without making a thesis here, what keeps the new Saudi Aramco IPO from occurring on China's new 'paper castle'? Their oil for remembi exchange followed along with their first oil futures 'market' put them in a real position to short the petro dollar. Would this not be some type of national security concern for the United States / the free world? <a href="https://www.corbettreport.com/update-china-to-start-paying-yuan-for-oil/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.corbettreport.com/update-china-to-start-paying-yuan-for-oil/</a>
you make some valid points but take a chill pill dude ;)
What are the trends in overseas Chinese education and post doctoral research? Has there been a shift in Chinese students from Western to Asian colleges? Has bilingual training in China seen a change away from English to other non-Mandarin? languages? Or has westernization accelerated?
I have two questions: 1. Should the US pressure China (PRC) more when it comes to religious freedom, human rights and trade? 2. Should the US recognize the independence of ROC (Taiwan)?
I'm a big fan of your stuff, was curious on what do you think will happen between the EU and China since, the US has import duties on european countries too. (Worried that we'll sell out too much, greetings from Switzerland, and waiting for my credit card to arrive so I can start supporting too!) If you need any other form of help, feel free to reach out, big fan of your show(s)
