Channel Title: Reports on China Channel Description: China is a complicated place, and there is definitely a lot of content out there that I don't think accurately or fairly represents this huge country of 1.4 billion. Hi there, I'm Andy Boreham (安柏然), a New Zealander living and working in Shanghai, China. I make videos for a more critical and open-minded audience. I speak Mandarin and have a masters degree in Chinese Language and Culture from Fudan University, which I think helps me dive a bit deeper in my content. This channel features my series Reports on China, where I analyze Western media reports and also occasionally present longer-form, in-depth reports on China topics. I also post other content here, including my China Decoded series which looks deeper into certain aspects of contemporary China that don't necessarily fit into news and current affairs. If you're ready and willing to see the "real" China, at least according to me, then come along for the ride! <video> Will Chinese tech be celebrating US admission of failure? Description: US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo has admitted that trying to stop China's technological development is a "fool's errand," but Adjunct Professor Warwick Powell doesn't think this will be cause for celebration in China – rather, it will be a moment of recognition, and impetus to keep working hard. #china #tech #shorts </video> <video> Why is Japan stealing videos from China?! #japan #shorts #china Description: Beautiful videos from #China are being stolen by #Japan lovers and passed off as having been filmed in Japan. Why?! #shorts </video> <video> Why does the U.S. allow Japan to look good and not China? #japan #china #shorts Description: Have you ever wondered why Japanese and South Korean pop culture are allowed to be popular in the West, and Chinese entertainment products are not? Well, it's because #japan and #southkorea are vassal states of the U.S., and they have given up their autonomy to Washington. China has not, and will not. #shorts </video> <video> China DEFEATS U.S. tech sanctions Description: Outgoing US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo has been forced to admit that Washington's tech sanctions on China have been an absolute failure! #china #usa #shorts </video> <video> Melissa Chen: EXPOSING an anti-Chinese Chinese reporter / activist Description: “Often, the most vehement anti-China journalists and activists in the West are of Chinese descent.” That was a comment on Twitter after anti-Chinese Chinese reporters came out in force following the sudden popularity of Chinese social media app Xiaohongshu yesterday, with so-called “activist and journalist” Melissa Chen using the anti-Chinese slur “ching chong” to describe the app. A little digging found that she’s used that slur very often, once referring to herself as “Ching Chong Barbie.” But it gets worse! She said she not against using even worse anti-Chinese terms, and that “context matters.” I wonder if she feels “context matters” for Asian women randomly beaten to death by strangers on the streets of New York? Today, I’ll take a closer look at the phenomenon of Chinese reporters in the U.S. embracing anti-Chinese racism. This is Reports on China, I’m Andy Boreham in Shanghai. Let’s get reporting! #xiaohongshu #china #cnn </video> <video> Stopping China is "fool's errand" – will Trump agree? Description: US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo says trying to stop China's development is a "fool's errand," but she's on her way out – will the #Trump administration agree? #china #shorts </video> <video> U.S. forced to admit: We need to compete with China, not try to kneecap them! Description: U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo has admitted that trying to stop China from innovating is a "fool's errand," and that the only way the U.S. can compete is by working harder and doing better. #china #tech #shorts </video> <video> Washington is MAD! TikTok ban forces Americans to download new Chinese app, Xiaohongshu Description: With the January 19 deadline for the U.S. TikTok ban fast approaching, ordinary Americans have given the out-of-touch politicians in Washington a huge middle finger, downloading ANOTHER Chinese app, Xiaohongshu, en masse, sending it to the number one spot on the US app store! American soft power has taken a massive hit. So what is Xiaohongshu? Will it be banned next? And will the politicians on Capitol Hill come to regret biting off their nose to spite their face? Today, I’m joined by special guest, Professor Warwick Powell, to discuss. This is Reports on China, I’m Andy Boreham in Shanghai. Let’s get reporting! #tiktok #xiaohongshu #china </video> <video> Why is the U.S. gov't so scared of China succeeding? Description: The U.S. government seems terrified of the idea of China succeeding and developing. Adjunct Professor Warwick Powell calls their fear "displacement anxiety." #shorts #china #usa </video> <video> China has defeated "Sanction Witch of the West" Gina Raimondo! Description: Outgoing US commerce secretary Gina Raimondo has been defeated! The woman behind Washington’s failed attempt to stop China’s technological progress through international sanctions, which spectacularly backfired and sent China’s own tech prowess ahead in leaps and bounds, has come out recently and admitted defeat, saying that holding back China’s technological progress is a “fool’s errand.” And she’s finally admitted what I’ve been saying on this show for years: instead of doing the Tonya Harding and trying to smash China’s kneecaps, the only way for the Washington to compete is to work harder and make the US better. Amazing! Today I’ll chat with Professor Warwick Powell about this extremely satisfying development. This is Reports on China, I’m Andy Boreham in Shanghai. Let’s get reporting! #technology #tech #china </video> <video> Professor Jeffrey Sachs: Is there hope for U.S. democracy? Description: With President Donald Trump about to enter the White House for a second term next week, U.S. politics and governance are once again on everyone's minds. From the outside looking in, U.S. politics is a mess. Political violence, factions, assassination attempts. What is going on? Today I will ask my special guest, Professor Jeffrey Sachs from Columbia University, to shine some light on the situation. This is Reports on China, I'm Andy Boreham in Shanghai. Let's get reporting! #trump #jeffreysachs #politics </video> <video> Ürümqi, Xinjiang: Walk and Talk with Daniel Dumbrill Description: Is there really geno**de in Xinjiang? Are the Uygur people really forced to work as slaves? Well, of course not. WANT TO BUY ME A COFFEE? http://www.buymeacoffee.com/andyboreham Come with me and my special guest, Canadian geopolitical commentator @DanielDumbrill, for a snowy walk around the capital city of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Ürümqi, as we discuss those hideous, U.S.-led claims about the region, the negative effect they're having on ordinary Uygur people, and why people like Adrian Zenz and the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI) should be thrown in jail. #xinjiang #china #uyghur </video> <video> Why is Japan stealing videos from China?! Description: It’s been a busy few days for Japan-lovers online, using videos of China and passing them off as Japan to rapturous applause from Westerners who don’t know any better. A video of delicious street food taken in China’s Hubei Province went viral and received 97,000 likes on Twitter. Only problem? It was passed off as coming from Japan! And the same account also went viral recently posting video of a Metro station in Japan, which has nearly 10 million views. Westerners were drooling: "Japan is so amazing!" But wait, what’s this? That’s not Japan! It’s Xi'erqi Station in China’s capital, Beijing. What on earth is going on? Today, I’ll investigate. This is Reports on China, I’m Andy Boreham in Shanghai. Let’s get reporting! </video> <video> I went to Washington D.C. for the Trump inauguration Description: Is America dangerously divided? Is their form of "democracy" on the rocks? What do ordinary Americans think about Trump, TikTok, and relations with China? I went to Washington D.C. to find out! What I found was that the USA is divided, and people are mad. Come with me as I navigate the capital city of the United States of America during Trump's 2025 inauguration. #trump #documentary #china </video> <video> Why hasn't China's Macau had the same violence as Hong Kong? Description: Wanna buy me a coffee? http://www.buymeacoffee.com/andyboreham Today is the 25th anniversary of Macau returning to Chinese administration, after more than 400 years being managed by Portugal. In 1999, the small island area of just 33 square kilometers returned to the Chinese mainland as a Special Administrative Region (SAR) of China, meaning it is part of the People's Republic of China while retaining its own system of governance and law. Hong Kong is China's other SAR, but their stories are completely different, with Macau's return to China completely smooth and not at all controversial. Macau hasn't witnessed any of the violence and upheavals Hong Kong has been through. Why? I visited Macau recently and interviewed six locals, from politicians to journalists, to find out more. #macau #hongkong #china </video>

Description

China is a complicated place, and there is definitely a lot of content out there that I don't think accurately or fairly represents this huge country of 1.4 billion.

Hi there, I'm Andy Boreham (安柏然), a New Zealander living and working in Shanghai, China. I make videos for a more critical and open-minded audience. I speak Mandarin and have a masters degree in Chinese Language and Culture from Fudan University, which I think helps me dive a bit deeper in my content.

This channel features my series Reports on China, where I analyze Western media reports and also occasionally present longer-form, in-depth reports on China topics. I also post other content here, including my China Decoded series which looks deeper into certain aspects of contemporary China that don't necessarily fit into news and current affairs.

If you're ready and willing to see the "real" China, at least according to me, then come along for the ride!
