So Embarrassing! - China Was Forced to Respond to Us - Episode #253
02:12:10 Share

I remember you

Hey, hey, hey! How's it going, guys? Welcome to episode 253 of The Real China Show. We shouted out the wrong area code last time. Who were we supposed to shout out? Last time was episode 252, so we should have shouted out...

Crap, what is it again? Washington, D.C.? No, no, no. North Carolina. We should have shouted out North Carolina. Okay. But we shouted out 253, which is today's episode, which is Washington State, not D.C. Which is the best Carolina? Well, I'd say North Carolina has more prestige in cities like Charlotte and stuff. It's more up and coming. South Carolina has better beaches. Oh, okay. Yeah.

So I guess it's whatever Carolina you like. It's if you want cities, North Carolina. If you want beaches, South Carolina. Sounds good. That's what I'd say. All right, guys, we've got quite the show for you today. We're going to be talking about a very interesting thing that happened, but let's just saunter right into it with what's new, where we talk about everything that's new, specifically with regards to China. And, well...

I'd like you all to put the secret GPS coordinates into your Google Maps. Do we have a new one today? Yes, we do. While you do that, I just want to say that we have actually forced China to change. Yep. And that's not clickbait. It's not. It's actually so funny. We were dying laughing when we saw it happen. Yeah. I won't spoil it, but...

At the same time, I thought about it in retrospect. I was like, that's actually very scary. Well, yeah. I mean, that's the whole topic. Yeah. We're going to get right into it. But, you know, I had a question, by the way, just so you guys can get the coordinates. You know, if you barbecue or grill or braai or whatever you want to call it, and if you are using a propane tank...

You know what I mean? Yes. Okay. Well, I know in South Africa, we normally make an actual fire. Oh, gotcha. Yeah. Usually in America, we use propane. With coal or wood or whatever. Yeah, use propane. But if you're using a propane tank, have you ever been curious? What would happen if you just took the tank and you just opened the valve and set it on fire?

No, but now I am curious. I'm curious too. I mean, I've always like, from me, it's more a safety thing. I'm like, what would happen if the system failed and, you know, it caught fire? Sure, now I'm curious, yes. Well, wonder no longer because China has done an experiment for us right here. Oh, okay. Yes, where we'll be able to actually see that. Go, go, go.

Whoa! I like how the people are barely getting wet. Yeah. You see the one guy? He, like, got close to her. He was trying to stop it. He had to stop it. Yeah. I mean...

yeah that's pretty interesting again okay i'll do it again one thing i'd like to know is you know like propane propane seems to last forever right have you noticed that like you're like when is this gonna run out yeah because you like go and bring it back to lows or whatever yeah to get it changed out yeah but you're like i don't want to start my barbecue and it runs out like yes and you keep pushing it you keep pushing it and it's like but it never runs out it definitely runs

But it's always at the worst. And it's always like when you have people over. You have people over, we're going to have a big, you know, braai or cookout or whatever you call it here. Anyway, let's take a look at it again. I'll get us out of there. Mics are super low apparently. Oh, okay. Multiple people have said that. Our mics are low. Mics are low. Hmm. You know, I really can't stand that. That makes me mad.

yeah they do look low it's weird i'm gonna try to boost them just give me a second do a little boost yeah they are low what's going on yeah let me see i'm gonna have to like artificially boost them how do i get that properties here yeah everyone says your mics are quiet our mics are quiet okay please bear with us while i try to deal with this is it that dang thing we did yeah it must have been because we did uh we did a crossover the other day i shouldn't have affected this

You know how this stuff works. This can be quite annoying. Is there like a master? Do you know how to boost this? You've done this before. Yeah, but I have to go to like advanced audio properties or something. Advanced auto parts. Yeah, that's balanced. Oh, here we go. I should be able to force a much higher decibel. I wouldn't go like much higher. I'd go like... Hello, testing, testing. It's like... It's getting a little, but it's still not high. Okay.

What? Keep going. Keep going. Testing, testing. Is it going higher? Testing, testing, testing. Yeah, it's good. Testing, testing. Okay, that's okay. Dude, I had to like boost it by 5.8 decibels. Does it sound okay, guys? Sound good now, guys? All right. Mike is perfect. Apologize for that. Let's please carry on with the show. Okay, let's look at this one more time. Let's go. See this guy? Yeah. He's just like... Yeah, yeah.

All right. So did we embarrass China into doing this? I think so. Yes. Let's explain this real quick because this has happened before. Yeah. So we're one of the only people out there that put out these leaked clips of what's really happening in China. The ones that get censored, the ones that get blocked, the ones that the Chinese government doesn't want to get out. Yeah. One thing they've rarely paid attention to is like fires and like local stuff.

Because it has no political consequences, right? They only care about people rising up against the CCP. The thing is that the fires and accidents and stuff now are directly related to the government because it's people setting factories on fire. It's people sabotaging the economy. It's all the things that the Chinese government is dying to not happen. Yes. So the most important thing to them is that it doesn't spread. There's no more incidents like this. Correct. So they don't want people to get those clips out.

But what's the easiest and best way to do that? Well, let's just make sure they don't actually film them. Yeah, so we're going to show you a clip here. And let's take a quick look. All right, let's play it. And this is a supermarket. This is a supermarket in Anhui that's on fire. Okay, you can see this happened, what, two days ago? Sorry, five days ago.

Four days ago? Sorry. Okay, this many days. It was two days ago. Wow, dude. Oh, I'm looking at the month. Two days ago. How many times am I going to get this wrong? Okay, apologies. It says R. Yes, sorry. I thought it was Sun. Okay. So I'm sorry. This just has to happen.

Oh boy. Let's get back to it, okay. Now, this happened two days ago in Anhui. This big shopping center supermarket thing caught fire. Somebody says, we get it, you vape. Exactly. Oh yeah, alright, alright. Let's see what happens here, because it's kind of important. Okay, so you've got this fire. Everybody's milling around. They're all filming it. Okay, now hold on.

That is a policeman. He's filming everyone. He's filming the crowd. Yes. And he says, Do not film the fire. I 110% agree.

I guarantee this is a top-down order because of us. I'm not joking. It's because of us. I might agree with you. Yes. I might agree with you. Because we keep showing this stuff, and everyone's like, no one's showing this on the news. This is crazy, right? Yeah.

And what is the normal reaction of the Chinese government? Just stop the people filming. Not only stop them, document who's doing it. Yes. And then they can find out who's leaking these clips and then they can get arrested. Isn't that crazy? I mean, can you imagine? Instead of stopping the fire. Yeah. Instead of, you know, helping. Yeah. You're a policeman there. Yeah.

Instead of helping the people that are near the fire, in the fire, you know, because look behind these people, you can see in the distance, there are tons of people close to the fire. Instead of maybe going there and getting them out of the way to safety. Yes, that's their job. Yeah, or instead of like maybe documenting the fire, they're filming the people who are filming the fire and telling them, don't film the fire. It's insane. Imagine. Imagine.

You're in America, right? Let's say you're in Times Square, okay? Okay, yeah. And there's a little fire in a shop, right? I just said a big fire in a shop. And people are like...

like, I guess, standing behind the barricades or whatever, filming the fire and the police are like, don't film the fire and then start filming. The people would literally laugh. They'd be like, what are you actually going to do to me? You can't do anything. The people have more rights than the cops. They could be like, you can't film me. I thought since they really don't want anybody to see the fires that are happening in China, I thought, how about this?

How about we show you guys a quick montage of some of the fires that have happened over the past week and a half? Because, you know, we've been showing you fires every time. Yeah, so if they're... This is a good way to put this. How about we do this? Yeah. We're not going to punish... We're not going to punish the people. No, of course not. What we're going to do is punish the Chinese government. For trying to censor it. Not just trying to censor us. Mm-hmm.

We're trying to censor the people, just trying to film the disasters around them. Because there is nothing wrong with that. Yes. So this is for the people. This is for the people. Getting the footage out. Everybody, we're giving you the footage that you don't see anywhere else. Nobody makes these footages like we do. Click like for these brave people that get these clips out. Absolutely. Let's take a look. Shout out to the people on the ground. Shout out. Let's do it. Really? This is the best week. Yeah, past week and a half. Wow. Don't film the fire. Don't film it.

We didn't film. We shared it. Don't. Stop. Stopping. By the way, these aren't even accidents. They're trying to stop the societal reasons for this happening. The Chinese government's like, no, I'm going to film and throw people in jail. You may not share it. Like, it's a film.

Yeah. Yeah. I think they're about to learn what the Streisand effect is. Yes, we do. I just got to find it. It's here somewhere. I do have it. There it is. I know the Chinese government is absolutely terrified that showing, um,

showing ruination or the intentional destruction of China is going to affect foreign investment in China because their top-down leadership is like, we, at all costs, must make sure that people invest in China from abroad. Yeah. So they really don't want this out there. Because, I mean, that could be your factory. That could be your business. Yep. And that's not facetious. No, it could. It's actually happening. Yeah, and it has happened. Every week. Here's the thing.

Just think about the amount of fires you've seen on this show over the past three episodes. And those were, like, that's weekly stuff. It's weekly. It's insane. This factory is burning down weekly. Yeah, not just factories, but shops and residential places and all kinds. Tourist attractions, one of them in there. And look, there was a lot more. I actually cut the montage short because it was getting a bit long in the tooth. Sure. But yeah, that's...

That's what China wants to do is it wants to hide these situations rather than do things about them. Yeah, that's crazy. You know what I mean? Well, let's move on, shall we? Okay. First, though, we have a word from our very, very favorite food source. Foods. Foods.

I'm glad to hear it. Yeah. All right, cool. Now it's Slopaganda time, guys. And the first part of today's Slopaganda is quite funny.

Chongqing has now apparently become a 9D magic city. Well, it started as 3D, which is crazy because I thought all cities were 3D. All cities are. Then it became 5D. Yes, 5D is actually the most used phrase. Yes.

It's a 5D city. Because there are other dimensions in Chongqing. Well, remember, when it comes to China, they take something like a trendy word or just a word of something, and then they always try to up it. Like, remember when MP3 players came out? Yes. Then you got MP4 players. Okay, and you can say, okay, maybe MP4 is okay because, you know, MP4 is a format. But then they made MP5 players. Yes, I remember that. Which could, like, play games and stuff on it as well. But it's like, come on. They don't understand.

The MP3 is a file format. It's a format. It's not like the version. Exactly. It's a compression format. Yes. It's not like there's one day we will have MP9. No, it doesn't work. Anyway, so Chongqing is now a 9D magic city. And we like this comment, which said, help, video is in 2D, so I can't see the other seven dimensions. 9D. But here's another thing that I really found quite hilarious is

This is New York City in 1934. Okay. Does that look familiar? It looks very familiar. Could that be a train going through a building? Oh my gosh, how did they ever pull it off? I know, right? Wow, living in the future. More like living in 1934. In 1934. It's just bad- You dumbass! Metro stations inside of apartment building.

The only train in the world that actually goes through a building is what he said. Not true! By the way, every train station is a building. I just had to throw it out there, you know? Like, you know when it pulls into the station? That's also a building. You know. Every single train that has a train station.

Yes. Goes through a building. Correct! Hey guys, I just saw the famous train that goes into the building. It's the monorail we just took into that building. Oh, here's the train. We don't want to miss the train! Wooo! Into the residential building!

China living in the future. Welcome to the station where a train is running. You dumbasses. I know, isn't it dumb? This is, you know what this is? It's mass psychosis. It is mass psychosis. You know what's interesting is the building looks very similar, doesn't it? It's almost like China looked at that picture and was like, let's recreate that. Don't you think? It literally does. It looks like a train movie. Where a train runs through an actual residential building.

That's psychosis dude. That's psychosis like you were saying.

Everyone says it's impressive. Everyone has to continue saying it. Trains, yeah. It's crazy. Trains pass through. Yeah. If I asked one of those people if they were not involved with this or they weren't getting paid to do this or they didn't get their script or whatever, and I asked them in isolation, they had never heard of this, be like, oh, what do you think of this? They'd be like, oh, all right. I guarantee you, no one would have this crazy response. Yeah. Because it's not actually that impressive. It's not. Yeah.

You know what's quite impressive is, you know, Japan's got a highway going through a building.

You know, if you wanted that whole cool looking... At least it's not residential. Yeah. That's dystopia. This is dystopia. Yeah, exactly. I mean, I'm pretty sure there's a reason why they don't have that train going through a building in New York anymore. Yeah, because it sucks. Yeah, because it was like bad planning and they're like, this is rubbish. You know what I mean? Residential buildings. China has a train that runs through a building and we're about to witness it right now. What?

That's insane. It's going through a 19-story building. Ooh. Here's New York City in 1934. Oh, wow, we're living in the future. There's a train that actually goes through a building, except you need to say it in transcontinental or whatever it is they call it. What is that called? There's a train going through a building. It's 1934 in New York City. We're living in the future as we witness this locomotive going through the building.

Yeah, pretty much. Anyway, I just wanted to put that out there because I'm so sick and tired of this because it keeps coming back up. I'm sorry, but y'all are dumbasses. That's the stupidest shit I've ever seen in my life. I'm sorry. I know. I mean, there are quite a few examples of trains going through buildings, but for some reason, all these influences that go on these fluff pieces, which are... Stop being an NPC. Yeah. They somehow think it's very impressive.

It's something that was in New York in 1934 is living in the future. You know what I'm saying? Anyway, hopefully that puts that to rest. Now to move on to the real slopaganda, which is about robots. Or I should say Roberts. This is a good one. Yeah, let's take a look. Let's take a look. Get us out of here. Yeah, let's do it. Roberts.

Look! A group of dancing grannies are enjoying their relaxing time. But did you notice? A special friend joined them today. A friend! Look at this what this friend does. Whoa! Dude! Dude! A friend! A friend! A friend! A friend! Yeah, exactly. Dude, it got... That's actually creepy. It got aggressive. Yeah, now this... As you can see, they're wearing the same cotton jackets as the ones in the performance. This was part of all the New Year festivities, okay?

And so they brought this robot out to, you know, show off as usual and try to headbutt the audience as you saw. That was actually scary. You know when like, you're like, hold me back. You got to hold your friend back. Yeah, exactly. Hold me back. I'm going to hit him. That's what that looks like. Yeah. I want to play that one more time. Okay. A friend. Yes. Dude, that's scary. A friend. A friend. A friend. A friend. A friend.

She ain't no friend. Nope. And then they had to help it up the stairs because it sucks. It's true. Dude, it sucks so bad. Dude, Chyna got... Can I pause for a second? Yeah. This is another thing. Mm-hmm. This is... You're going to see Chyna... You know how we made them say, don't film the fire? Yes.

They're going to respond about this too because they are going apeshit about this robot thing. They are like putting all their eggs in the basket about China's robotics. That's why they're pushing all these gala things and all this stuff. They're convinced that it's like great soft power. Yeah. Not on my watch, my friend.

I'm sorry, but your robots are mad regarded. Yeah, they're not very good. You know, the thing is, of course they're improving and they've got some pretty impressive stuff, but it's nothing that hasn't been done before and nothing that hasn't been done better by companies like Honda and Boston Dynamics, obviously. Anyway, let's continue because this isn't over yet. Click like on the stream if you think these robots are regarded.

What's that? No, like you know the robots just it can speak you didn't know that I don't really know what it said. It's speaking Cantonese It's a Cantonese robot. You don't know

You're so incompetent! Don't you have a finger?

You don't fuck your friend. Stop it. Pause it. It definitely said F-U-2, F-U-3. It's possible. Who knows? Who knows? I couldn't really decipher it because it was Cantonese. You know, my Cantonese isn't that good. Anyway, let's... Is it Ding Ligo Fire? I don't know. Maybe. Maybe. It's possible.

I don't think it's saying anything nice. I think it doesn't want to be there with the grannies. Yeah. Yeah. It's a swear word. It gets easy. And then it actually says English swear words. It's just, it's not happy. What a bad, bad robot. I know. What did this Robert thing? Okay. Yeah. Sorry. That was too funny. All right. The Robert thing? I don't know. Let's, let's see. We'll do it again. Yeah.

Various types of robots Various types of robots have already become common in the business sector and in real life. This is one of the new press conferences, right? Today, we're diving into a Chinese mineral robot company. Hoping to explore and answer some questions. Oh! It's not a controlled environment.

Hoping to explore and answer some questions, we all wondered: Why are we creating human-like fabrics? What exactly can they do? What capabilities do they have that can surpass humans?

These things suck! Yeah, they're bad. They're trying to convince the whole world they're at the top of robotics with this crap? Yep. And this is stuff that was probably made in the 80s in America, you know? Like animatronics labs. Oh yeah, similar.

They're so crass. Yeah, what bad robots. Well, that's how they get away with it. Because, you know, China's trying to, I get it. China's trying to promote the robot industry, right? Yeah, yeah. But if they call them robbers, they get away with all this bad behavior. Correct, correct. So let's see what's going to happen next here, okay? Because she's like coming into Unitree, which is the leader in China, okay? The Cantonese dub is probably my favorite thing this year. It's pretty funny, yeah.

Alright, anyway, let's see. Wait, it can also shake hands. Hey, did you know that my water bottle can also shake hands? Here, try.

It doesn't make sense. It's not even shaking hands. You can say that about anything. It's like this, and she goes and grabs his arm. That's like saying, did you know a tree can hug? Yes, but then you hug it. Exactly. What the heck? This spoon can feed you. Yeah, exactly. Technically, my hand's holding it, you dumbass. It's so silly. Anyway, sorry. She shook its head. Yeah, she shook its head. Take a look. What?

It's a bit of a different feeling. OK, so what am I about to show you here? I thought we'd do a little thought experiment. They were having a conference where they're showing off China's high-tech stuff. And so these guys came, you can see they're wearing the lanyards, they came to show off this...

humanoid robot okay and it's walking around in the parking lot and falls over okay okay man it seems like there's a lot of this footage of these things just effing up well that's the problem is they're in real life when they're not in like controlled environments they're actually pretty bad right and they're still working out the bugs yeah they're like toy level a lot of them and unfortunately you put them out in the public people are going to film yes

and that stuff gets leaked. But okay, take a look at this. So it fell over. So I thought we'd do a little experiment here and see how long it takes for them to sort this problem out. So I put a timer. There's one thing that they say here that I want us to listen to. So...

So this has fallen over. Yes. People are laughing. Yeah. Okay.

No rain. So there's no rain. So I think they're saying like, why did this happen? There was no rain, so it couldn't have got wet. So many of them broke. What is it? Oh, is that the remote control? He's like, no, really. I've seen a lot of videos recently of them breaking, you know, because it's true. There are a lot of videos of them falling over. And guess what happens when those videos get shared?

They get removed. They get removed, yeah, exactly. It's crazy because they're private companies, but the Chinese government's protecting these private companies by removing content for them. There are no private companies in China. You are true. They actually all belong to the Chinese government. You know what? Secretly, when you said, I want you to listen carefully, I was hoping it was going to come with a gift. Man, I missed an opportunity. I missed an opportunity. I want you guys to listen carefully.

No, no, maybe next time. But one thing that one of these guys says over here, take a look. Isn't that what you did to the Americans? I don't know what that's supposed to imply. Like, isn't it like you're supposed to knock the Americans over maybe? I feel like it's got something to do with that. I couldn't hear it properly, so maybe the subtitles are wrong. Yeah, no, but he definitely does say that. Okay.

Anyway, we'll look at it later. Our monitor has barely any audio coming out of it. Let's fight. He'll do it himself. Okay. So we're still going on here. Yeah, I mean, you know what that lines up with, though? What? The whole, like, what I've been hearing from Chinese people is that the robot industry is what's going to destroy America. That is, like, in the zeitgeist right now. Yeah, at least take over America. It's now at eight times speed. Okay.

All right. Just because otherwise we'd be here for quite a while. Sure. To be honest. Okay. So come on guys. They're trying their best. By the way, they do eventually get it going. Oh, okay. Um,

um only for a little little while though you can see the bag in the background this is part of a big like an expo on right technology and stuff there you see it's walking walks about i don't know like 10 meters and then it crouches down and stops working again you know what i think is so crazy about this what is that this and you got you guys can cut it and slow it down if you want to read all the subtitles and you can post it on your own thing yeah um

The thing I think that's so crazy about this is that people are talking about this like it's not just a toy. Like, this particular one is supposed to be China's revolutionary robot, right? Yeah, yeah. The H1. Unitary H1. Yeah, it looks like this. It's got a remote. Yeah. I mean...

You're using a remote. Why is this any different than a remote control car from like 50 years ago? Sure. Yeah, sure. You know what I mean? Yeah. Anyway, look, it's going to get put into its box now because they're like, okay, it's not going to work. But I'm sure you've noticed by now that we're already like up there close to 10 minutes now. It's almost eight minutes of them messing around with this thing. But now's the fun part. Let's see them pack it away. These are the guys who are supposed to be demonstrating it, right? So you'd think they'd know how this thing works.

It's kind of frustrating to watch, to be honest. So now it's at four times speed. I'll put it down. This is driving me insane. Yeah. So they're like, okay, what do we do? Twist it around. It's like Hippo Hub. It's like Hippo Hub, yeah. All right. So the guy who's filming this, you'll see him in a second, he's having a laugh at this because he can see that they're really struggling here, right? It's funny.

Now let's go eight times speed just for the box part here. How long is it going to take them? Because that was 10 minutes, by the way. You know what's sad is the poor guy filming this didn't realize he's going to get in trouble. Yeah, exactly. Isn't that sad? Absolutely. Because he's not doing anything wrong. No. By the way, is this not one of the most frustrating... This is so hard to watch. They undid everything. Yeah, exactly. All the progress is undone. Right here. It's like...

He's like, oh, let's twist around. No, this way. No. Oh, so you reset the timer. I did reset the timer because I only had a 10 minute timer. Oh, okay. I gotcha. So now you're going. They had to take it all the way out again. Oh my gosh. By the way, they called someone to ask how to do it. Did they? Yes. There we go. They took it out again. This is so bad. Oh, I don't want to watch this. It's like, okay. All right. Are we going to get it this time?

Yes, they did it. They got it. Put it away forever. That took close to 20 minutes. Okay. Just so you know. Right. So I had to speed it up. Otherwise, we would have been sitting here for 20 minutes while they figure out their lame robot toy.

Robert. I can't get the Robert's voice out of my head. Yeah, anyway. Yeah, that's what they're pushing for. This is the secret treat. You guys, this is really, really cool. Yeah, you know... Did you put this in? Yeah. Last time we showed you that interesting like antibody thing. Yes. Right?

And I thought it was kind of an interesting thing for us to do on the show is to look up secret things, not every time, but sometimes. It turned out to be a biopharmaceutical lab. Yeah. So I was like, what else can I find? So I'm like, let me just look around. And I was on Google Earth looking around and I found this. I hope some of you have opened this up and actually seen what it is. This is pretty cool. It's in the Gobi Desert. Okay. So in your mouth, Julia? Yeah. Yeah.

And here it comes. Northern China, northwestern China. Okay.

Okay, and this is it. It's a triangle. Okay. Okay, but what's really interesting about this triangle is it has like a wiggly tail. Okay. Like a sperm. Yeah, something like that. I was like, what is this? And look at the shapes. It's like there's something very odd. And then it leads to what I thought was a mining operation, like a mine dump or something. But then you see they've got little structures in there. Is that water around it? Yeah, it's a moat. Wow, that's interesting. But then there's more triangles. And I was like...

Okay, that's really weird. There's another triangle. What the heck? Yeah, so I was kind of like weirded out by this and then I noticed something. It says there 四号山 which means mountain number four, which is one of the most like communist sounding mountain names ever. Yeah. Right?

Where are you vacationing this month? Mountain number four. So I tried, well, what about like mountain number two? Or mountain number, I think I put mountain number five. And then this came up. And I'm like, hang on a second. So these number mountains have these weird moat water facilities. It's a moat and they've got structures on them. And it looks like buildings that have been long since abandoned and fallen apart. But they all have these like triangle structures.

I don't know what you'd call them, but they're connected with like a little tail. Weird. Yeah. So I was like, this is kind of interesting. This is weird. Yeah. And it's not near main roads or? No, they're in the middle of nowhere. All of them are like far away from civilization, except for one. One of them, which I think might be the next one coming up here,

One of them is the second mountain, so Arhausan. Okay. Is close to some sort of civilization. Not like a big town or anything, but there's like a small thing near it. Okay, so Arhausan is not... And this one has writing on it. Oh, yeah. It's got characters. Yes. Prepare for war with a strong enemy and every inch of land must be defended. That's so cool. Yeah, so I did some digging.

And I figured out what these were. Okay. And I found about, I think I found nine of them.

Hold on, pause it because I want to read some of these. So people are like fake launch site, nuclear waste, blah, blah, blah. Some people were saying, oh, it's just some sort of dump site, right? Yeah. But you wouldn't do that. You wouldn't do a sewage dump site or something if it said like protect every inch of land, prepare for war. Exactly. You know what I mean? Yeah. That's cool. I did quite a lot of digging here. You can see this one actually has like some facilities nearby. Yeah.

And it also has those triangles, although some of the triangles have been kind of covered up. Oh, interesting. You will also find some of these. There's one with a triangle. There's like a road going, like a highway goes right through one of the triangles. Right. And it's been obviously just put over the triangle. So it's like this is really weird. And these like weird tails are connected over here. Uh-huh. So...

Here you can see what looked like military trucks all kind of over there. I did a lot of digging and I found out what these were. Okay. These are artificial mountains. Okay. Which makes sense, right? Right. And they were built in the mid 60s. And here you can see there's the, over there's the number one, number one mountain, mountain number one, mountain number eight, mountain number six, mountain

It's quite fascinating. I mean, it's a bit of a challenge. You guys can go see because the actual amount of these things, I couldn't find out how many were made. That information doesn't exist anywhere. Okay. So there could be a lot. I found about nine. You know, if they hadn't cut off our USAID funding, we'd probably know more. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, get some intelligence on this. But yeah, there's like the number four. Mm-hmm.

which is the first one I found. And then, you know, we've got the number three and number nine, sorry, number two, number nine. Anyway, so what these were was during the 60s. Yeah.

China and the Soviet Union actually had a war. Yes. Okay. Why does no one talk about that? Yeah, exactly. Russia and China hate each other. They were fighting. Lives were lost. A tank was captured from Russia. There's a little island that was fought over. There was a war between the Soviet Union and China because they had a falling out. Yes. And Mao Zedong was so paranoid that he dug tunnels underneath Beijing for evacuation. You can still go see it. Yeah. Yeah.

And one of the things they did was they went out into the desert. Lin Biao, the general, he went out in the desert, in the Gobi Desert, at these strategic areas where he thought the Soviets would come bring their heavy armor and built these fake mountains, these artificial mountains. I could just imagine how crappy the conditions must have been for the people building these things. You're basically starving in the sun. They're definitely dying. Like Mao used to just let people.

die in doing his infrastructure projects. Correct. So building this crap out in the desert, building moats around them. Yeah. I don't know how there's water in some of those, by the way, because they're abandoned. Yeah. But build these moats around them. And then those triangular things you see were artillery positions. Yes. And I guess those like sperm tail looking things were trenches. Oh.

Oh, interesting. I'm guessing so you could get to them from the main mountain area, which was the actual army station thing. Oh, interesting. And then they had artillery spotters on the top of the mountains. So from the artificial mountains on the top, you'd be able to see if there was Russian tanks coming down. Oh, interesting. And then those different little pads or whatever also had moats around them, those triangular things. And that's where your artillery would be to shoot at the tanks. Nice. So that's what they were. So they're anti-Russia...

Yes, they're anti-Russian installments. Interesting. Now, I managed to find some on the ground photos of the Arhow, the one that's near that kind of built up area, because it was still used up into the early 90s as a training ground. And you can see this guy, I found his Weibo post or whatever, because he used to serve there. So he went there to like reminisce and take some photos.

And so these are some on the ground photos of that one where you saw the characters. But I thought it was quite an interesting find. That's really cool. I like these little coordinates things that you've been doing. This is nice. Yeah, it was fun. I hope you guys found that interesting. I found it interesting. Next week, let me dig one up. Yeah, you dig one up. Yeah. So yeah, let us know if you enjoyed that segment. We can include more in the future. Yeah.

But I thought that was kind of interesting. That is cool. Also a massive waste of manpower and time. You know, like even if that's history, we might even discover some stuff that, you know, we have no explanation for. It could be kind of cool. Yeah, exactly. It was very difficult to find information on that. That's cool that you does get sleuthing.

Thanks. All right. Soft Power Hour, guys. This is where we talk about how China tries to change your mind and something that has been very near and dear to my heart. And I think everybody in the whole world should be concerned about this, the Chinese illegal fishing fleets. Look at that. That's brighter than North Korea. Yeah, it is. Now, this guy's name is A Petit or A Petit. Who knows?

You know, I'm not sure exactly how to pronounce his name. We're not endorsing the verb action of that. Of course not.

Or maybe he's a pet tit, like a tit mouse or a tit bird. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. This is getting serious. Okay. Now, his father apparently is on the International Space Station. Yeah, exactly. Father, a friend. His father's on the International Space Station and is an avid photographer and takes these amazing photos. By the way, if you're just interested in astrophotography and like star trails and stuff, go check out that at astropetit over there. Okay.

I would say petite. Petite, yeah. But you would need an E on the end, wouldn't you? No. Okay, right. Then petite. I mean, I don't know. Who cares? Yeah, okay. Go check it out if you like astrophotography. So he took this image from the ISS last month. Okay. Okay, this is a Chinese fishing fleet. And it's very concerning for a couple of reasons. We'll build up to it. But the Argentine Coast Guard actually has to fly patrols at night.

to make sure that these guys don't come into their waters to decimate the fish stocks. Look at that! Doesn't it- It's a freaking army! It looks like a city.

Doesn't it? Just looks like a skyline. And you know what that is? It's because they like squid jiggers and so on. They like to use, well, they have to use these very bright lights to attract the squid and whatever things they're catching. So it's kind of like an unfair cheating kind of way of fishing because they're attracted to that, right? So you shine this incredibly bright light into the water and all these creatures come towards it and then you nab them and it's real easy and they just jig them up, you know?

This is very recent footage, okay? So they actually have to patrol to make sure these guys aren't coming into their waters to destroy the fish stocks, right? What? Yeah. They also appear as walls of green and blue above otherwise dark open waters in these star trail photos, okay? Look at this extension of green light off the coast where it should be pitch black.

These fleets are a force so great they become their own photographic artifacts. And that's because they use green lights as well for attraction. Okay. You know, like on the ship. But yeah, this is supposed to be pitch black, but what you're seeing down there is a fishing fleet from space. Wow.

Yeah. Wow. It's so bad. We'll get into it a little more. I mean, they're just making the seas extinct. Yeah. Absolutely. They're driving the seas extinct. They are. And the Chinese government's controlling this. Yes, they're completely emptying the seas and at such an alarming rate.

You know, it's hard to explain. You know when you're a kid and you hear about the Amazon rainforest? So they cut down a football field a day or whatever, and you're like, oh my goodness, that's so terrible. It's nothing. Nothing. You could cut down the whole Amazon rainforest every day and it wouldn't be as bad as what's going on here. This is bad. This is real bad. It's insane. Okay? I've got to show you. I'm going to bring the receipts in a minute. But first we have to go to the annoying smoking couple's living room so that we can look at their TV. What? What?

It's important. We have to go to the annoying smoking couple's living room. What is the annoying smoking couple? They're annoying and they smoke a lot. Interesting. I don't know them. Yeah, but we have to use their TV. Why is she smoking a little cigar? I don't know.

When a vast Chinese armada of more than 300 ships appeared outside the Galapagos Marine Reserve in South America earlier this year, Ecuador's government had reason to be suspicious. In 2017, a Chinese ship was boarded inside the Galapagos Marine Park by Ecuadorian authorities. Inside, they found this gruesome haul: over 6,000 shark carcasses illegally caught.

Okay, so the reason why I'm showing it in the annoying smoking couples... Yeah, I'm like, what are you doing? ...is because it'll stop the copyright. Oh, maybe. You know, because it's got smoke and, you know... Maybe. No, well, they invited us over to watch. Oh, they invited us over to watch. They're like, yeah, you can come... And we're commenting. Yeah, you have to put up with the horrible smoke. Okay, I got you. But... But, okay. I like it. Now...

This is a little documentary put out by Australian News in 2020, five years ago. There's a reason why I'm showing this five-year-ago thing because it'll be relevant in a minute. I just wanted to show you this one, just this one that they caught in 2017 in the Galapagos area, you know, the protected area. Mm-hmm.

Had, what did they say? 6,000 sharks? 6,000? And there were hammerhead sharks and protected sharks. 6,000. It was bycatch or that was on purpose? What do you mean? It's on purpose. It's only sharks. Because you know China. Yeah, exactly. You know China shark fin soup and all that. Yes.

Do you understand how China takes the piss? There's no... I mean, there's no balance. There's no catch and release. There's no, like, sustainable fishing. It's take everything. Now. Take it all. Before our competitors get a little piece of it. This is their...

the way China works with everything. It's take everything now. It's an analogy for everything in China right now, the way it works under the current CCP and under the current government is that you have to destroy and take everything now and not worry about the consequences because that's the only way they're going to get ahead. Yeah, because the consequences aren't your problem. Yes.

And, I mean, can you imagine you've got a protected species in the Galapagos and one Chinese fishing vessel goes in and takes 6,000 of them without any care. This is just the one that got caught, by the way. The one. The one. There are something like 17,000 fishing vessels from China. I'm getting angry. Yeah. Okay. So let's keep going. All right? Okay.

The crew was jailed and the owners fined. Although this year the fleet appeared to remain outside the marine park, the sheer size of it sparked concern. I want you to pay attention. Do you see how close they are to the edge? Oh, they know. Well, of course. Well, I mean now, because that's the EEZ. That's the, like, protected zone. What you'll find out later...

is that they actually turn their transponders off at night and go into the zone. And you can't track them. When they turn off their transponders, you can't track them anymore. So they just go in there and they fish anyway, but they do it in a sneaky way.

So you can see them like dancing around the edges, but that's when they've got their transponders on and then they turn them off, go in, shh, and like fish come back out, that type of thing. Also, come on, fish don't know borders, right? So if you've got protected species over there, they're just going to swim out to where the lights are or whatever and get caught. You know what I mean? Anyway, let's carry on. China is a fishery superpower. With the world's largest fishing fleet, the mainland now consumes around 38% of total global fish production.

and hauls in 15.2 million tonnes of marine life a year, or 20% of the world's entire annual catch. The Chinese government says its distant water fishing fleet numbers around 2,500 vessels, but other estimates put it as high as 17,000. In comparison, the US has around 300. Okay.

300 is what they're saying. That are following the rules, by the way. Like to a T. Yeah. Oh, and by the way, you know how they say, oh, we only have 2,500. Okay, riddle me this. You and I both visited fishing villages in China. Yeah. I think we saw 2,500 in a day. We did. Yes, in one place. Busy in one port. Let's be honest. We know that there's more than 2,500 what they claim. Yes. Because remember when we went to that Rongcheng or whatever? Yeah.

Where they had all those and we flew the drone over all those fishing vessels. There's hundreds of them there. Yeah. And that's just one. And those are the ones in the port, not the ones out at sea. And down in Huizhou and Huidong and all these other areas we went to, we saw so many fishing boats. It's ridiculous for them to claim that there's only two and a half thousand. We've seen with our own eyes more than that. Yeah.

The thing is, I think the documentary is great, but I don't want people to get confused. They're not just doing this outside of the Galapagos. It's the whole world. The whole world. Okay, so...

Africa has a huge issue because they work with the corrupt officials there and they fish right inside all of the African coast there. That makes sense. In my own country, South Africa, they've decimated the seas just off the coast. That's what they do. South America, of course, is one of their biggest places they go. So that's why Argentina and the Galapagos and Ecuador and all this stuff. But they go everywhere, everywhere. They fish in North Korean waters. Yes.

Which they're not supposed to. They fish near the U.S. Yeah, they do. Near Alaska.

They fish everywhere. Everywhere. Everywhere. And they just go out there in these huge, it's like a city, goes out wherever it wants. And it's much more sinister than that, which we'll get into in a minute. China, more than any other fishing fleet in the world, travels further, stays at sea longer, pulls up more fish than any other fleet. Around the world, Chinese vessels are routinely and aggressively entering national waters. ♪

China insists it is working to ensure its fishing fleets are acting sustainably and legally. It announced a partial moratorium on squid fishing in South America. And Beijing's 2020 white paper on fishing says... See, this is the important part. Remember, we showed you that shot from space earlier.

Is now. Now. That was like a week ago. Yeah, so it's good to look back at 2020 to see what they promised. This is 2020. Five years ago. Let's see what they promised. They put out a five-year plan and this is what they promised. It will, in its next five-year plan, commit to severely crack down on IUU fishing activities, strictly regulate fishery behavior, and promote the high-quality development of offshore fisheries. Oh, shut up. They've only increased.

Yeah, exactly. If only increased. Doesn't it show you everything the Chinese government says is a lie. And it's just there to placate people so they can continue to be bad. That's why there can never be deals with China. You can't strike a deal with China. You can't, you can't say, let me hear your side of the story. Yeah, we'll, we'll trust you if you put this, uh,

Order in for protecting the environment in five years. Nothing comes to fruition. China's a liar. It's a cheat. It's a horrible, horrible government. It is. And I mean, this is proof. They put in their five-year plan. Oh, we're just going to crack down on this. We're going to do sustainable, whatever. No. Look at how much bigger those offshore fleets have gotten. Look at they're still doing it. They're still at the Galapagos. They're still doing everything they were. Yes.

Experts are skeptical. And in China, unfortunately, illegal fishing is still seen as just an administrative matter. China is also accused of using its fishing fleets to assert its sovereignty around the world. Another reason a new Chinese-funded fishing development in Papua New Guinea has raised eyebrows in Australia.

The Chinese in many cases are using their fishing fleet to assert presence in the South China Sea to bolster those sovereignty claims that China is making. And in some cases, it seems as though some of these fishing vessels aren't even fishing. And so they're likely to be maritime militia vessels which are getting paid to just assert some kind of presence in the area and not necessarily needing to fish. Without proper oversight and with many fisheries around the world in decline,

China's massive fishing fleets will continue to venture further and deeper in search of their next catch. Okay, so remember that was 2020. And it's true, if you do illegal fishing in China, it's like you might get an administrative fine.

That's it. You're more likely to get congratulated. Yeah, you're going to get like a medal. Yes. They'll be like, well done. Yes. Well, because they're militias. Yeah. But, okay, it gets a little bit more in-depth. So I thought we'd go through this because this is the last year, 2023. Okay. Sorry, two years ago. It shows you, well, it's December. Okay, so two years ago. Oceania analysis shows China's fishing fleet swarms Galapagos and disappears from sight.

A new Oceania analysis released today shows that China's massive distant water fleet flocks to the water surrounding the Galapagos Islands, then frequently disappears from public view by appearing to disable public tracking devices. Oceania's analysis shows that in the area surrounding the exclusive economic zone, that's the protected zone around the Galapagos Islands,

Vessels flagged to China primarily fish for squid. The country's fishing fleet was identified by the National Oceanic blah, blah, blah for illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing. That's what IUU fishing means. Illegal, unreported and unregulated and human rights abuses. The United States imported more than $686 million worth of squid from China and Hong Kong over the past five years. Now, this is where you might actually be complicit in this.

And I don't want to be one of those guilt guys. I'm not trying to put guilt on anyone because people aren't aware. Here's the thing. When you go to the shopping mall or whatever, your supermarket, and you go buy seafood, if it says product of China, don't buy it. Never buy product of China. In fact, I watched some fish YouTube channels. I literally watched the canned fish files, which is a guy that reviews canned fish. It's the best channel on YouTube. I'm not even joking. All right.

He, you know, when he looks at it, sometimes he'll point out like where it's from. And I started doing that myself. I look around when I buy any sort of fish or seafood products and make sure it's not product of China. Number one, it's going to taste like shit if it is because the quality is poor. And it's probably canned in like a terrible place. Candy practices are bad. Yeah. Yeah.

And number two, it's completely unethical. Yes, because you are fueling this demand for them to go out and strip the seas because when they fish, they do it in a very unethical way. And there's no way for you to prove that that whatever fish you've bought from the supermarket wasn't illegally caught within the Galapagos protected zone or whatever. Yes.

Correct. Anyway, I did want to read this. I put this up here so we can read it together and just go over it. Okay. The Oceania's analysis shows that in the surrounding areas around the Galapagos, vessels flagged to China's primary fish... Okay, okay, we did that. Sorry. In addition to vessels flagged to China disabling their tracking devices, their analysis documents China's fleets engaging in potential encounter events with other vessels known as transshipments. Now, this is super important. Okay. Okay.

So this

This is one of the biggest problems is that China sends out a big refrigerated cargo ship to those cities on the sea. So normally what will happen is you'll have a fishing vessel goes out, does its trawling, catches a bunch of fish, and then goes back to port to unload. Correct. Okay. And during the time it goes back to port, it kind of gives the fish a little bit of time to recover. Right.

At least breathe a sigh of relief and be like, okay, let's breathe a little bit. Let's try to procreate, whatever. You know, let's repair. But not with the Chinese fishing fleets because they never go back to port. They stay out on the sea nonstop. And when these big refrigerated things come out, they resupply them. They take their entire catch, take it back to China while they continue to fish. And then they come back again.

And as you'll see in this report, I'll just skip forward. One of the vessels that these guys were tracking actually stayed out at sea for...

Where was it? Like two years, more than two years. 637 days. See, it says one squid jigger flagged to China appeared to participate in multiple encounter events that allowed it to stay out at sea for almost two years. 637 days. The vessel had 25 potential encounter events with carrier vessels during this period. So imagine that. Staying non-stop fishing for two years.

While you just keep being resupplied and they keep taking your fish. There's no chance for that area to recover. No. It's nonstop. It's almost on purpose. It's like I want to delete. It's like loot and plunder from Captain Planet. It is. It is. And, I mean, I just wanted to, again, let everybody out there know that the way China does things is in an unsustainable manner like this. Yes. It's like strip mining. Yes. They just want to take everything and they use those bright lights to attract the fish, grab them all up. Yep.

Fill their hold up with their squid or whatever. The big tanker thing comes. They've loaded up and continue to fill up. It's nonstop, nonstop. And it's in these protected areas around the Galapagos because they've already outfished all of the marine life around China. And in Asia, they've decimated Vietnam's fish stocks and all the Philippines. Everywhere around there is suffering. You're next. You're next.

And around Africa too. The local fishermen in Africa, the little dudes who get on a little raft and go out there and throw a net or whatever. Just to stay alive. Yeah. They're screwed because a big tanker pulls up next to them and just trolls everything up and there's nothing left. Yeah. They're raping the world. It is so bad. I've made multiple videos about this, but everybody just seems to ignore this issue. I'm curious. Yeah. Do you have any more material here? Because I have a couple solutions. Yeah. I mean, I might have one thing that I wanted to show here. Yeah.

China's colossal distant water fishing fleet is monopolizing the world's oceans. This fleet is emptying the waters surrounding the Galapagos of marine life, disappearing from the public eye and fueling unregulated fishing practices beyond the horizon.

The United States imports a significant amount of seafood from China, and there's no guarantee that what reaches American plates came from safe and responsibly sourced practices. In fact, there's no guarantee that it was not caught through unscrupulous activities at sea. China's intense fishing operations around the world not only raise serious questions about the fleet's impact on the oceans, but also on the United States' tacit participation in supporting potential human rights violations and IUU fishing activities."

I just wanted to put that out there, not as a guilt trip, but maybe just a little bit of education so people can not participate in this. So my solutions. Yes. Don't buy product of China. You should know that if you're watching this channel, but if you're new, don't buy product of China, especially when it comes to anything involving animals. Yes. Especially sea life.

Number two, Greenpeace and international organizations that do environmental work, get on this. Yes. Get on this. What the hell's wrong with you guys? What are you doing? Get on it now. They're like, oh, this cow fart or something, and they're like giving some shit to a Dutch farmer. Well, that's not demeaning. Maybe they are doing some good. Priorities, man. Priorities. Here. Priorities. The earth will die. Yeah.

Number three, administrations around the world that consider China an adversary. This is a good point to latch on to. Yeah. This is a good... If you want to put some pressure, deal with this. Yeah. This is a moral victory that could win you a lot of points. Number two, it would save the world. Yeah. And number three...

I think there should be something, a humane way to do this, where you go out there and you warn the fishermen. Yeah. If they are not warned, you retrieve them off the boat and you sink the boat on site. Artificial reef. You sink the boat on site. It's the only way. You get them, obviously, remove the person. Yes. Arrest them, put them on the boat. Sink every last one of these things until the world can heal.

Yeah, I agree. Sink them all. That's a great idea. It really needs to happen. I mean, take a look at this one statistic here. China is by far the world's largest fishing nation per recent Oceania analysis with a distant water fishing fleet comprised of more than 11,000 vessels. Definitely more than that.

that appeared to fish more than 9.9 million hours worldwide between January 1st, 2021 and August 31st, 2023. The sum of the next four fleets, the largest fleets, Taiwan, South Korea, and the United States and Japan is still less than the total number of distant water vessels flagged to China. I mean, the whole world combined fishes less and has less of an impact and has a smaller fleet than China's fishing fleet. It's huge.

Out of control. Right.

Just like China builds all these coal power plants all the time and everyone's just ignoring that because they say, oh, green tech. We'll do it later. You saw how their five-year plan, we'll make it sustainable. No, they didn't. You increased it. This is in 2023. The end of 2023 was this report to show you how much worse it is. And now you're seeing the pictures from the International Space Station. It's worse and it hasn't gotten better. And China lied like it always does, like it said that it would leave. And it always will.

It said it would leave Hong Kong alone. It said that it would protect the world against COVID and that COVID didn't come from China. It also said it wouldn't militarize the islands in the South China Sea that it built. That's now our bases. Yeah. I mean, come on. China always lies. The Chinese government has never, ever kept its word. No.

You are true. Anyway, enough of my grandstanding, but guys, please, that is a huge issue, and I think we should all be paying attention to that. I agree. At least raise awareness about it. You can go look up those articles. You can maybe talk about it with your family. I don't know. Next time your mom goes to get groceries, tell her don't buy the thing, or next time you go to get groceries or your dad or whatever, say, hey, listen, if it says product of China, leave it on the shelf. Support your local fishermen. Agreed. Totally agree. Anyway.

World view. This is where we talk about the world specifically with regards to China. And I've been talking a lot since your turn now. It's all right. It's just some good articles I wanted you guys to check out. Okay. It says China is secretly worried that Trump will win on trade. So with these tariffs coming in, China is absolutely throwing a fit. And we saw that through the foreign ministry, actually. Yeah.

This is where some serious threats started coming out. It's the puppet man. It's the puppet man. Yeah, exactly. It's like Saul, remember? We've got to find that picture. Maybe we have that fantastic picture one you guys made for us. It's so good. China's foreign minister condemns the U.S. imposition on tariffs at two-phase. So really pissed off because what, you know, the be-all and end-all make this super simple. China needs the U.S. a

a hell of a lot more than the U.S. needs China. Always has been that way. I don't care about your Timu goods. I don't care that you're going to pay five cents more for some item or whatever. That's something you can deal with yourself. You go sort that out yourself. That's your own problem. Yeah. The reality is...

We don't need China. China needs us here in America. That's just the hard truth, right? So when you put economic pressure on China, it really hurts them, right? Especially if you've moved global supply chains away from China in preparation, which is kind of currently happening.

So they're starting to bare their teeth again. We've seen about a year where the wolf warrior tactics kind of went away. They're kind of trying to play the whole Mr. Nice Guy on the official level and have their little minions around the world do the evil wolf warrior stuff. But on the face of it, the Chinese government's been acting kind of nice. Those teeth are being bared again. We're starting to see the wolf come out. The wolf is emerging again. And we've actually seen some serious threats. I think you put it in here, right?

Yeah. Yeah. In fact, it just was like a couple of days ago. A couple of days ago, we had a very... China pretty much threatened war. Yeah. What did it say? Well, the fentanyl issue, because this is why the current government has put a 10% tariff on China is because of fentanyl. And let's be honest, it all comes from China. And I mean, this is a bit of a hot take, but knowing China, I fully...

that this whole fueling of fentanyl, making these chemicals available and easily shipped to America and sending them to America is some kind of misguided revenge against the opium wars. Some kind of misguided revenge against what China calls a century of humiliation. If you live in China, you'll hear about the century of humiliation a lot. They teach it to kids. They talk about it all the time. And they're like, oh, the rest of the world really, you know,

really messed us up, you know? Oh, they took advantage of us and look at our poor us and they won't shut up about it. And I understand it was a traumatic time during the two opium wars, but don't take it out on America. They had nothing to do with that. That was the British. Yeah, but America is the current problem for China. Yeah, and again, like foreigners are foreigners, right? Yeah, that's true. And it was just all about the foreigners. Chief woman, woman, so this is like, honestly, I...

I know, deep down in my heart, that the top level CCP guys are sitting there and wringing their hands and saying, yes, it's revenge for the freaking century of humiliation. Anyway.

That's besides the point. I just wanted to put that out there. You can quote me on that. If it insists, I'll go ahead. The fentanyl issue is a flimsy excuse for US to raise tariffs. The root cause is the US itself. If it really wants to settle the issue, the US should consult with China. If it insists on waging a tariff war, trade war or whatever war, China's ready to fight to the end. China, you said the quiet part out loud.

Yes. Whatever war. The whole fentanyl thing, it's interesting because they kind of use that as the catalyst for trying to say this stuff. It's basically saying that we did this on purpose. Yeah, because it said if you want to settle the issue, you should consult with China. Yeah. So, yeah, it is an issue. Oh, it's an issue that you made. Yeah, it's an issue. And if you want to stop it.

Talk to us. It's basically a bargaining chip that they've created. So that if China or if America doesn't want to deal with this anymore, they can be like, all right, we'll give you what you want, China, if you can stop this fentanyl thing. Yes. That's how I see it. I would like to point something out here. This is an official tweet from Twitter, from a Chinese official. Yeah. China is using X, sorry, not Twitter. Whatever. That platform.

to basically threaten war against America. Why are Chinese officials allowed to go on a Western platform, an American platform, to threaten America with war? A platform that abandons... Is that not crazy? Do you think that the U.S. government can go on... Like on Weibo. The Secretary of State can go make a Weibo account and then post, we are going to kill you in a war. Yeah, exactly. It's like, if you want a war, we're ready for any war with you.

Would never happen. I mean, that's insane. Why is this allowed? Number two, why is a country allowed to speak like this? Yeah. Diplomatically. Yeah. I mean, all these days. Yeah. Well, these days it looks like all that diplomacy is out of the window. Say what you want, you know? But yeah. Why is this? Why are they allowed to do it on our platform? And in Chinese and in English. Get out of here. Yeah. Roll away.

Yeah, Gwyn. I just wanted to point out the absolute hypocrisy of this, that China's allowed to threaten the US with war on its own platforms. Yes. You know what I mean? Yeah. Stupid. Grow a spine, Elon. Get rid of them. Anyway...

You wanted to talk about this. This is pretty important. Oh, yeah. This is crazy. We talked about this before. Remember that iSoon thing? It was that basically hackers for hire thing that was happening in China. So basically the government in China was hiring hackers to this company. It was making like $75 million or whatever. I can't remember a month or year or whatever. By hacking people abroad that they found to be enemies, right? So there's actually a list of people that they went after. So this company, go ahead. Yeah.

This company ended up being contracted by the government. So it says, so there's, by the way, there's a reward out right now. Good. The Justice Department, U.S. alleges that these individuals helped carry out a wide-reaching Chinese espionage campaign that targeted U.S. government agencies, state governments, news services, universities, defense contractors, law firms, and critical infrastructure. Okay.

So this is the hackers for hire thing. Go ahead. Yeah. Okay. The Chinese MC didn't respond to this, by the way. But I wanted to show some of this. This is interesting. I soon is believed to have worked with at least 43 different bureaus of China's Ministry of State Security and Ministry of Public Security across 31 provinces and municipalities, according to the FBI. The

The company also charged the agencies between $10,000 and $75,000 for each email inbox if successfully hacked. So the government would be like, we need you to go find this guy in New York, right? Yes. American. Sure. Hack his email inbox and we'll give you between $10,000 and $75,000. Right. And they're like, okay, let's do it.

Sometimes the iSoon worked at the direction of agencies and other times it would conduct its own hacks and sell either the network access or data stolen from those targets to the Chinese government. iSoon would train Chinese government employees to hack on their own and it sold various tools to help them carry out their attacks. One of these products gave customers the ability to write phishing emails, create malware, lace files, and clone websites.

Reality, but we don't need the reality check. We live in reality. Don't worry. Sure. Thanks, Axios. I want to go through and show a couple of these things. Go ahead. I want to show a couple of these screenshots. This is what's creepy to me. So this is right here. This is from the FBI indictment. As one of iSoon's products was a software called the Automated Penetration Testing Platform.

I soon advertise the platform's ability to send email phishing attacks to create files of malware that could provide access to victims' computers if open and clone websites of victims in order to induce them to submit personal information. An image of the interface is below. So it's like a wizard. Yeah, I mean, they made these tools to sell to the government. Yes. So the Chinese government goes and contacts this company. It's like, hey, we need to go hack this guy's computer. And they're like, cool, let me open up my little...

program on my desktop. Yeah, exactly. You think it's going to be some like ones and zero like matrix code? No, it's this. Well, in case you guys are wondering how they would do this is they would send an email to you with like a bogus PDF file. That's in there, yeah. Yeah, or some sort of thing like that. It's in there? Okay. Yeah, at least alludes to it. Mm-hmm.

So the one way they accomplished this was through spear phishing emails. In a typical Isun spear phishing campaign, the malicious actor sends an email or other online message to the victim, which message attempts to trick the victim into clicking a link and will download malicious software. I like these rules. Isun developed a list of rules for its employees to keep in mind when spear phishing. The rules were designed to keep Isun's employees to have

to help trick the victims into providing access to computer systems. For example, the first rule stated: "No batch sending. No batch sending. No batch sending." Spear phishing emails are easier to detect as malicious if they are sent repeatedly. The second rule emphasized social engineering: "Don't send an interface link in the first email. Send an interface link after email chats. Please refer to the provided successful cases."

Similarly, the seventh rule stated strategy is very important. The purpose should not be so obvious. Must chat with the target first before giving the link. So they had all these rules. So you have to get a reply. So you'll send it out and say like, and we've received lots of emails. Oh, yeah. A lot because they target us specifically. For sure.

And we'll get something that looks like it comes from YouTube or something. It's like, hey, there's been a copyright claim on one of your videos. And they spoofed the address and everything. And we're like, hmm. And they want you to engage too. And then they're like, click here to find out more type thing. And you can tell it's rubbish because we get official ones from YouTube. So you can see it's a little different. But they're very good at cloning it. It looks almost real.

So they do tailor make it for their specific target. And they'll be like, hey, look, there's a meeting coming up. Please check it out. Can you sign in here or something? They were doing this on a mass scale with this company, this iSoon company. By the way, this was found out because somebody leaked all their internal stuff on GitHub.

And then I guess the FBI and a bunch of people like put it together like sleuths and figured out what was going on. This is crazy. Like there needs to be retaliation from the U.S. government for this. Yes. Again, why? They targeted infrastructure, government officials, human rights people. Telecommunications. Everything, right? Look at this. This is another screenshot of one of the products. Yeah.

this is software specifically designed to target victims accounts on a variety of computer systems and applications, including outlook, Gmail, uh, X and a cell phone operating systems, Android, uh, computer operating systems like windows, Macintosh and Linux. Yep. Uh, that's how they advertise it. For example, on outlook, I soon sold software, the ability to generate a spear phishing, uh, link and get them to download the content of the victims outlook mailbox. If the victim clicked the link, um,

It was further able to bypass multi-factor authentication in some cases and could manage access to multiple victims' accounts at once. That's the interface there. It wasn't just Outlook. It was on Gmail. They found ways to get past authentication on Gmail. It goes to my phone number. That's my authentication. It doesn't matter. This is so robust, it didn't even matter at that point. Yeah, and I know how they could do that, actually. Oh, interesting. Yeah.

So here you can see this is like the list of the client email addresses that they've hacked, right? Just on their software. Yeah. It's crazy. Oh, yeah. I mean, look, we all know China hacks all the time. And it really annoys me that there's never any real pushback. We've just found out that they recently hacked Verizon, AT&T, all these big companies. Everybody's had their thing hacked by China. And yet...

There's no real outrage. Everyone's just like... Well, that's why we're trying to get the message out. Everyone's basically like, oh, they hacked my phone and everything. Don't ban TikTok. Yeah, yeah. Like, the response is crazy, right? It's like, what? What? Another example with respect to Gmail, which I think most of you guys have, right? Yeah. They sold the software with the capability to send a victim a spear phishing link and then obtain access and control over the victim's Gmail account.

The software had the capability to download the contents of a victim's Gmail account, including messages in the victim's inbox, messages previously sent by the victim, and draft emails in the victim's account. Once it gained access to a Gmail account, iSoon Software was able to bypass multi-factor authentication defenses. So this was not only on Outlook, they could do that on Gmail as well. This is their Gmail client. Yep. I guess there's like a multi-million dollar reward to get these guys. But they found out who they are. Yeah, they found out the guys, yeah.

uh twitter as well yeah twitter was a massive problem x it looked like it was quite i don't see why they need to hack twitter because they can just use it anyway well they want access to people's dms yeah true well they could probably just ask their asset for that stop just saying anyway smoking gun photo shows how u.s soldiers sold military secrets to china this is straight off the press this is like from today yeah um

And this is a big issue is when you have, you know, people that are sympathetic towards the Chinese government, which it's so difficult because of the brainwashing and the education and the way people are brought up in China.

If you grew up in China and you went to school in China, there's a huge chance that no matter where you end up in the world, what citizenship you end up getting, you will still always be loyal to the Communist Party of China. And so the Communist Party of China takes advantage of this when you've got Chinese citizens that naturalize or go to other countries and join the military. And we see this happen a lot. And it's an unfortunate situation. What happened here was, well,

Well, I'll just read this to you.

Jal, a battery supply sergeant at the joint base Lewis McCord allegedly conspired with an unnamed person to sell encrypted, an encrypted military computer. So not only did they catch this particular guy taking photos with his cell phone of sensitive documents, him and his cohorts, they sold encrypted hard drives, like actual with sensitive top secret information on, they sold that. And, and,

an actual military encrypted computer. Like it's this weird looking tough computer thing. They sold it off to a Chinese asset who took it to China. So, I mean, at least they've been caught. It's good to see that these guys are getting caught. But like China is doing all of this bad faith stuff and getting caught all the time. Yeah. All the time. And yet it's just like, oh, what are we supposed to do? Like...

Unban TikTok. That's all you get as a response. It's ridiculous. Surely there should be a stronger stance and be like, hey, China, quit messing around.

You know? Yeah. But no. Yeah. Yeah. It's just kind of frustrating when you're in our position to see how China walks all over the entire world. 90s or now. Yes. Okay. We had this fun thing that we did on Monday. For those of you who don't know, we have a VIP show on Monday. It's called Xiaobanhou. And this is what you missed out. We did like a 90s in China episode. It was super fun. Let's take a look. Take a look. This one is... 90s. Let's see. Yes. This is now. I'm going to go 90s.

Chinese medicine cough medicine Here we got Shanghai in the 90s and it's kind of interesting because you're used to seeing the bund with all those skyscrapers So this is 80s and 90s in Taiwan I'm curious as to why somebody would make a knockoff of Mount Rushmore Dude, that's so lame Missed the spot

She's like, oh, I can breathe again. You like watching 65-year-old women take off their pants? Ah, let me just go back into the recesses of my mind. And you're like, ah, yes, perfect. Where are the tissues? Oh, come on. Here's a Black Hawk helicopter. Why did you have to leave that in there? Well, you know how you got caught out last week in the Q&A all the time. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, here's the deal. We have a special VIP show. It's a secret show. Every Monday it's called Shabba No. If you go to patreon.com slash ADV podcast, you'll see that it's half price right now. Shabba No half price sale. Get in there right now. You'll get access to all the episodes we've ever done. If you want to do the more expensive one, you'll actually be able to watch it live.

It's a fun, very interactive show. We absolutely love it. And we love everybody who supports us over there. It's really cool. In the last episode, what you saw there is we went through China in the 90s.

So China in the 90s was a very different place than it is now. So we went through a lot. We had a bunch of different segments, very nostalgic segments. People were reaching out and they're like, that was weirdly nostalgic, even though I've never been to China. It was really cool. So if you want to see what China was like in the 90s, we did a great episode there. And we do a lot of great episodes. We did China's absurd game shows, which look very lewd from that thumbnail. China's foods you've never heard of. If you look on the right there, you probably are curious what that animal is. And you're going to want to watch the episode. So wild lion's head. Yes. But before you'd explain it.

Go pay money and go see for yourself. Obviously, only if you have the means. We'd love to see you there. What China really looks like. Deep dive. So we go into some kind of street view images randomly to see what China actually looks like. Yeah, and to look at some footage that we took and that we get from other people as well to show you what it really looks like. Beer hater hour where we talk about things that we can't stand. Yeah. And drink. It's just us hating. And we did this thing about sloth.

And then what are we doing this Monday? We're doing something very cool. Ah, something very cool. Cool.

No, it was a very good, interesting episode, wasn't it? Oh, China's spicy lewd soap operas. That's what I said. It's like homemade. It's very weird. China has like obviously some sort of drama shows, but people are like not watching them on TV. They're making them themselves now, making soap operas themselves, filming on their cell phones, but they're making them like very weird.

Yeah, it's a strange thing. It's weird. It's so weird. It's hard to explain. You'd have to actually just see the episode, but it's these homemade soap operas that are bizarre. And we have a lot of insight into it, so it's going to be quite interesting. Yeah, yeah. So go check it out. Cool. That'll be on Monday. So guys, it's time now for Yum Cha, which of course is our Q&A section. This is where we answer your questions and you question our answers.

We should. Okay. But it's begun. This Yum Cha segment of the Chinese show is sponsored and endorsed by Haze Runner for President. Oh, excellent. Oh boy, do we have some stuff about Haze Runner. You'll follow me, okay? Oh, it's actually really sad. I like.

I like, it made me like it. Yeah. We actually like Hayes Runner. If you want to know more about Hayes Runner, we're going to do a little expose on some of his background in China media on the Xiaoban Hou. Yeah. Yes. It's a good thing. I mean, it may give you a lot of feeling for him. Yeah. You'll feel bad for him. Yeah.

Gabriel Keane, hey bros, at work so I can't catch you live, I have a new version of shield broth to propose. 20 second story farms, 100% whole, oh my, chocolate milk. I like that a lot. Nice. Yeah, that's funny. H Preciado.

Oh, that's no good. I really don't like, you know, I don't like it when China takes over prestigious brands. No. I mean, they did that with Volvo, right? Yes. They did that with...

Borgward. Yes. What else did they do? They've done it with a bunch. A lot of, and unfortunately, you know, then, then you can't, I, I personally can't trust the brand anymore. Yes. You know what I mean? Oh, I like Gunterchop. Yes. I don't like that. They're trying to buy those car companies though.

Karis, Frank Drebin of Police Squad. Nothing to see here. Please disperse. Yep, that's right. Naked gun. Gunfox, thank you very much. Robert Sanquis, loved seeing you on China Uncensored on Wednesday. It was great seeing anti-CCP united like Voltron. And on a side note, can you play Pig Bay? Oh yeah, of course I can. Here it comes. Let me find it for you. Charles Sammons. Hang on, hang on, hang on.

I'm sorry. I love that a lot. I love that a little too much. Yep, me too. Charles Simmons says, Salmon says, I had to resubscribe. I never unsubscribed. I don't like this. Yeah, it happens a lot to us. It happens to our personal channels too.

Not good. Yeah. Just me. Thank you very much. David Lopan respectfully requesting a release of the clip of Ruin Nation to be released as a short to help it go viral, perhaps an extended super cut. Yeah, maybe. It's not a bad idea. Like some of these montages, you know what I can do is, you know, like for instance, the fire montage from today's show, I could release it on Twitter. Yeah. You know? Yeah.

Sorry, X. And it'll probably end up on China Fact Chasers anyway. You can go check it out, David Lopan. Go check it out. All that stuff goes up there. All right. Dragonilla, slay flat cap summoning hellfire in my nightmares. Yeah, exactly. Slay flat cap. Well, now his name is Huo Guo Peng Wang.

You know, because, you know, huo guo is a play on words, basically, because, you know, huo guo is hot pot, which is a very popular dish, especially amongst expats. And huo guo also means fire country. I get the joke. You can figure out the penghuang.

Oh, boy. World leader 359. What's up, E.A.? Wow, I was at Dallas-Fort Worth Airport, and I took a train that went outside and then into another terminal here in Dallas. We're living in the future. Exactly. I mean, dude, Disneyland Resort has that monorail. All airports, like you said, though. Yeah, they've got the... Yeah. It was at the Detroit Airport. It's got that one at the top. Yeah. It's like...

Yeah, what are they talking about? Why is everyone so fascinated? You know what's crazy is a lot of these guys that go on this 22nd floor crap, on their way to Chongqing, they fly through like America or Europe or something, and they take those monorails and go through the airports. And they don't think that's living in the future. Right? No.

Weird. Lord Bacon Bits. Thank you for the membership. By the way, I think you're right about that mass psychosis thing. Who would think that a filthy train going through a ratty looking building is great? No one would. In isolation, no one would. Yeah. No one would care. It'd be a mild... No, it wouldn't even be. It's like whatever. Yeah, it's like, I got to get off at this stop. No one goes to freaking... What's it called?

like disney and goes they film like the the mickey or like the attractions they go to they don't go film the the monorail going into the hotel yeah they don't like oh i'll live in the future yeah it's more like living in the 1950s or 60s or whatever when they built that yeah you know it's like that old timey idea of the future the jet age or whatever yeah it's like jetsons or something like jetsons like those future videos you watch like in the future we will have

like uh like what is it like ovens that cook for you yeah you place it it's like place the tablet on the tray and conveniently put it inside the oven five seconds later the housewife has nothing to do exactly and like a little silver robot comes out like in prison you know that kind of thing it's like that it's that vibe you know

Dragon Atlas says, shout out to the regarded Roberts. Regarded Roberts is a real thing. It really is. Yeah. They're rude too. They're very rude. I can't believe they say that in Cantonese and English. Jamie Dalton is a European. I'm doing my part by cutting down on buying products from Chinese, Russian, and American companies. Good on you, mate. Vian Langan says, 5G AI Robert expertise. Yeah, exactly.

uh xavier 73 92 says with the whole trump leaving ukraine defenseless and trying to disband nato do you think he'll try to do the same for taiwan since it's a similar argument i certainly hope not it's very tough to to put a gauge on on the current administration's politics to be honest let's just hope for the best yeah uh haunter one haze runner would not marry that robert no no i know yeah because remember he wanted to like uh

Marry the Robert Oh yeah You wanted to marry that Robert You'll marry me okay Something like that Yeah that's right Yeah What did he want? I know you I guess I know you Are you sure? I guess so yeah Do we have another no?

I know. Oh, yes, we do. And I think that's what you're going to get. I know. There we go. It's been a while since we had that one. Modern China, yeah. Remember to just say some shit. Shit. We didn't even catch that our audience caught that, remember? Yes. Yeah. Jeffrey, all are 90. I guess the CCP is still hungry after they ate these nuts.

Why wouldn't I have a mouthful of water? That's the best. That was incredible. 90 City. Amazing. Yeah. Well, we're halfway to the goal. Oh, excellent. Paul Levchuk says... Curious to see how that works out. Yeah. Have you found China's strategy stockpile of honey jars for you-know-who?

Um, no, not yet. No, but that whole, that's a operation honeypot. That's right. That's the thing that China and sensors do. That's a good thing. I think it was a good initiative on their behalf. Yeah. Uh, guys, Chris says, guys, I've heard that China is creating a massive underground bunker system near Beijing. Have you heard anything about this and where it would be located?

They already have a massive underground bunker system in Beijing. It's called Dixia Cheng. I've done a thing about it on my channel. By the way, big shout out to China Uncensored. Please go check out the video that we did this Wednesday. We did our first live collaboration ever live stream. That's right.

We did it with China Uncensored. Go over to their channel, please. We were going to put a couple of clips in this show, but we didn't get around to it. We'll show you some clips next week. Okay. But I'd appreciate it if you go check it out. We talked about the state of YouTube and how it appears that all of our channels are being suppressed by social media. Please go check it out.

uh, Norman Ferris email. What happened to you getting your own soundboard? Also the Robert said in binary at shut the F up. You old knob. Somebody got it. Somebody got it. There's a lot of good Easter eggs in this episode. Uh, TMD. Thank you very much. Uh,

Where are we? Abdelaziz says, Xiao Hao, I've been a fan of you guys for a decade. This is the code of Somalia, my country. I have lived in China for years and I share a lot in common. Ball sack, please. Oh, absolutely. You get it, my friend. You get two. There's two balls in a sack. Think about it. Yeah. 80s Game Guy says, does Winston still play the MOBA fishing game? I don't know what that means.

No. I had once a sponsor from this Fishing Clash game. Oh, is that it? And remember, I put it in my video and I was like, that was when we were really getting hit hard by the CCP. I put it in and I'm like, thank you to brave sponsors like this. I won't mention the company. Thank you to brave sponsors like this who are willing to take the risk to sponsor me.

Put it out about, I don't know, what was it, like half an hour later? I get a message, please take the ad out of the video. Because they were like, I guess they hadn't done their research or something. Well, thankfully, companies are braver now. Yeah. That was during a dark time. And I was like, okay, fine. You know, they still paid me, which is nice of them. That's nice. Yeah.

Production at any cost, from fish to trees, just ask the pandas. Thanks, Dragonilla. May I have a dandong from Haunter?

Dragonella just dropped a video today. You should check it out. It's about panda diplomacy and it very clearly explains why this panda diplomacy thing is rubbish. Ooh, I like it. I'm very passionate about that topic. You know how China leases pandas for whatever, a million a year or something? You have to pay them to look after their pandas for them.

I honestly think the rest of the world should boycott this. They should let the pandas come in, but don't let them go back. And then just breed them. Yeah, make your own. And then these pandas would stand a much better chance at proliferating. And then China can jump around and scream and shout, but you're like, go get out of here. If you want your panda, come get it.

Some Josh thing says, I don't have anything funny to say today. The fishing story was infuriating. It is infuriating. Why are people not getting mad? I get mad about it periodically. And I've made two fairly large videos on my channel. I think one hit a million. The other one hit like close to a million. But, you know, that was a couple of years ago I made them. And you'd hope that something would be done, but nothing is ever done, even though it's like so blatantly bad what's happening. Yeah. Yeah.

It's frustrating. Someone said put Dragon Hill's video in the description. Actually, I'll do one better. I'll do that next video. Yeah, we'll put a clip. We'll actually show a clip. Yeah. I just did. And also make a note to put in the China Uncensored livestream clip. Oh, yeah. Okay. Because we were going to do that this week, but we ran out of time.

And we would like you to go check it out. Yeah, no, we'll highlight both those next time. Yeah, we'll put it in the main part of the show next week and then, you know, send people. Holy crap. I only have one left and we hit the goal. Oh, wow. I'm curious to see what happens. I really want to see it. I'm very curious. That's excellent. I got crappy news today. Do you have the I'm so tired clip yet? I'm so feeling that right now.

I'm so sorry. I don't. Come on. I don't. But I got to give you something. What can I give you? How about a barbecue massage? You know what the worst part about that is? You watched me make the clip. Yes. But I just didn't put it on the streaming machine yet. That's true. Caleb says, been following you guys for a while. First time on the China show. Doing great work. Keep it up. Thanks, Caleb. Thank you very much. Your rule. Debbie San Diego says, first...

Thank you very much. I don't think you were first. Maybe first on the challenge. Oh, maybe first on the challenge. Yeah, thank you. Thank you very much. RDE Josh, for real, what does China import from the US that they can levy tariffs on anyway besides stolen intellectual property? And can I get a Tong Suola? Oh, you certainly can.

Goal achieved. Thank you, audience, for making it possible. Did anything pop up for you guys? Because we got this cool little thing and it has like a bullseye and it says goal achieved. So maybe it just comes up for us. Well, either way, thank you. That's really cool. That's awesome. Thank you for helping us test that feature. And of course, thank you for your generosity. It means a lot to us. Thank you so much, guys. All right, cool. All righty, so what's next?

TMD says JD and Coke. Jack Daniels and JD. JD and Coke. I just have this picture of this rotating head. I actually currently have the flu, and I've been bedridden. I came off of COVID and got the flu. I have a pounding headache right now. Yeah.

And all Winston's been doing as I'm sick has been sending me certain images. Dude, come on. Everybody can get behind this meme. It's just insane, the creativity that is coming out of this. I love it. I love it. It doesn't matter what side of the political spectrum you're on. The J.D. Vance memes are gold. And he's seen them. It's verified. Yes. And it's the best. Yeah. It's the best thing ever. Sammy. My favorite, though, is the...

the one with the blue background that's just too good anyway yeah that's besides the points yeah oh boy oh boy here we are here yeah Sammy says hey Matt how come you don't like Pigs Bay also can I get a Pigs Bay sorry someone might be charged in the future

Charge up this pen, and I can use it as a wand to negate a pig's bay. You just never have, though. I think you maybe did it once. No, I did it twice on Xiaoban. Yeah. I exerted the power of the wand, but then someone paid for a super chat to revoke all charges, so this is empty. Yes. Adam Khan, can you do another wet market segment? Just curious. Yeah, of course we can. I suppose. We've got some great footage. Could you also do a please play a pig bay? Stop! Stop!

Oh, you want to pig bay? That's good fun. Don't you kind of want to go swim in pig bay? Not right now. No, but I mean if you were feeling a little healthy. I had 104 degree fever yesterday. What's that in Celsius? 40, 41. Well, it's a good thing that... 40. It's 40. Yeah, it's pretty hot. It's a good thing that that's not the thing anymore.

I'm still sick. Yeah, but I mean the fever. Well, because I took like four Tylenol before the show. You should have done that yesterday. Then you wouldn't have had 104 degree fever yesterday. Yeah, you got to stop being sick. It's annoying. You get better than sick. It's freaking ridiculous. Yeah. You know, I was validated because I started talking to some friends locally. Yeah. And all of them.

I've gotten sick. Multiple things too. So I was like, oh, so it's not just me. It's been a nasty flu season. Yeah, I guess so. You got a little bit sick. I did. Actually, you got very sick, but you didn't get the second thing that I got. Yeah, and it was different. I didn't get a fever. I just had no energy for days. You just were like, uh, I'm dead. I got this horrible... I mean, I got COVID and then I got this. This is disgusting. I don't even get into the symptoms. It's truly abysmal. Yeah, just enjoy them on your own.

Enjoy. Oh, I will curse them. What do we got next? George Hazard. Weird hearing the cotton soundbite after so long. I know, right? By far the first soundbite. I think it was the first soundbite. It may have been. I'm pretty sure. Hmm.

I also wonder how many animals have been extincted or critically endangered now. Well, they just look up how many, how many animals in China have gone extinct and then you'll see. Yeah. A lot. A lot. And recently too. Yeah. River dolphins, things like that. No, it's horrible. Jank City Customs, one for the goal. Thank you very much. Thank you. Doc's off in an excellent show tonight. Have a good weekend, everyone. Thank you. Appreciate it. Thank you. We love you, Doc. Jenny Tolles. It's my birthday today.

Happy birthday, Jenny. Wow. Yeah. Three languages there. Yeah. Watching you guys is a fantastic way to spend it. Can I get a pig bay in honor of turning 37? Oh, yeah, of course you can. We need it. We need it. It's coming. Happy 37. Makes me irritated.

Oh, are we good? Yep. We're good. It takes about 100 minutes to... It's quick. Ruby says, just want to wish my bestie a happy birthday. Wow. Happy birthday. Happy birthday to your bestie. And get them a pig bag. This is getting a bit much.

But I enjoy it anyway. I'm just saying it is getting a bit much, but I enjoy it. We never missed your show now. It's our Friday night. Oh, excellent. That's cool. Glad to hear that. Phil says Seamilk's fever is coming back. I think you're absolutely right. I feel so bad. Yeah, well, at least the weekend's here. You can chill out.

TMD says, waterfall, Matt. Thank you. Dory, why? I can't pee anything out because I'm so dehydrated. Thanks and keep up the good work from Dory. Much appreciate you guys. Appreciate you. Thank you. Appreciate you. Big does you guys to check out Jim Browning's new video about a scam call center he busted in Dubai. All the leaders were Chinese. What a surprise. Color me surprised. Not surprised at all.

Curie says, first super chat though. I've been a fan and member for years. Love you guys. Thank you. Oh, what do you know? What a wonderful song. How come I've never heard it before?

Good old Salte Waters. I love a good Salte. Salty Waters song. Yes. What a ridiculous, what a ridiculous little episode that was. Oh boy. Lord Bacon Fits, thank you very much. Protag Neptune, please play the worst church song ever, Looking for a City. Looking for a city. Yeah, we don't have that. Looking.

Yeah, that was on Shabban, right? That was a vote clip. It was like a torture test. We watched the whole thing. We watched just like all three minute or whatever of this disgusting song. Oh, boy. Yeah. Well, It's Me says, good show as always. Thank you. Some Josh Singh says, one, just for the goal. Got a Guinness in hand. It's wow. So good. Excellent. And yes. Wow. So good. You know, I prefer Kilkenny myself, but Guinness guys are hardcore. Have you noticed that?

Yeah. Wait, I got a little theory. It's like no alcohol, though. I have a theory. I think everybody's a Guinness guy at some point in their life. Everybody. No, I think everybody's told that Guinness is awesome. I don't like Guinness. No, I know. But I think everyone's told. And for a short period in everyone's life, they pretend they really like it.

I think you have to pretend you like it. Yeah, I'm saying that. No, I agree with you. And I think that's a real thing. I know it is in South Africa. I'll put it to you this way. I'm not saying that it's not good. No, no, no, no, no. I think a lot of people genuinely do like Guinness, but here's my hot take. I think a lot of people don't, but the real ones will say they don't. If you find a guy that says they don't like Guinness...

Make that person your friend. They're going to be honest with you for the rest of your life. I think so. I think a lot of people do love it. I'm just saying I think most people that don't like it won't admit it. Yeah, I think you're right. I think you're right. And we admit it. So we're cool, guys. Yeah. And here's the thing. When I say I don't like Guinness, it doesn't mean I won't drink it. Oh, I'll drink it. I don't hate it. Yeah. It's just not my favorite. Yeah, I just don't get that hankering. Because, you know, I used to hang out with these – I used to be in IT and –

And you go to the sort of Irish pub or whatever in South Africa, which I don't even know what that's all about. But anyway, you go to these pubs. We have them all over here too. And you'll get like the Shamrock Burger or whatever. It'll be like... My favorite in our local bar here is an Irish pub and they have the Irish...

Egg rolls. Cabbage and potatoes and stuff. Oh, that's funny. But yeah, they'll always be, let's go get a pint of Guinness. And everyone's like, all right. And everyone's like, yeah, go wait. Drinking these Guinnesses. And everyone's like, let's have a pint of Guinness. And you're like, okay.

You know what's funny? Can I drink a lager too? Yeah. It seems rich. It's low calorie, actually. Oh, really? And it seems like it's going to be strong. It's like the lowest ABV beer. Are you serious? It's so low. Look it up. I want to know what the percentage is. Because I always, in my mind, it's stronger. No, it's very weak. Maybe just the taste. Yeah, 4.1. Isn't that ridiculous? It's lower than a Coors Light. Yeah, but that's a Chinese beer level.

Yeah, but American beer is all five. Yeah, it's true. Like a normal Coors is five. No, that's pretty interesting. It's nice. Anyway, enjoy your Guinness is what I want to say. And I wish I was having one now. Even though it's not my favorite, I'd still drink one. Yes. Thank you for all your hard work, content filtering, translating, and blurring of the truly awful. Thank you for appreciating our ESRB. Can I add a charge to banish Pig Bay? Hold on. You better use it.

One charge has been added. Thank you very much, Whiskers. I very much appreciate you. Excuse me. Guinness Milk Stout is 3%? Wow.

It's not that stout then, is it? You know what else? You know, British people, and not to get down on you Brits, I love you Brits. We love the hell out of you guys. But one thing when expats, or I shouldn't say expats, when people of different English-speaking countries get together, they often talk about how much they can drink. One thing I've never seen, I've never seen an American say, we can drink more than other countries because that's not like a... It's because you can't. That's just not true at all. Yeah, it is. Who am I?

Well, I mean, you're a bit of an exception. That's not true. You know a lot of Americans. But it's not a thing to go around bragging about. I find British people have to talk about this all the time. Oh, yeah. Absolutely.

Then you go and realize that all British pints are 4.2% alcohol. And you're like, oh, interesting. They're like, oh, I had six pints less. And I'm like, yeah, nothing. It's not like dog shit piss IPA in America that's like 10.6% or whatever. You know what I mean? No one drinks that. Come on. Oh, yeah, they do. Craft beer is massive. Yeah, but they'll have one beer. My point is the weakest beer in America is five.

You go in like, oh, it's six points, mate. And it's like 4%. It's like, oh, cool, dude. That's why you drink when you're 10 years old or whatever. Because you don't even feel it. Yeah, we'll have that argument later. What are you arguing about? You're not British. No, but South Africans are the same. Worse. Yeah, but South African beer is strong. That's the difference. You see what I'm trying to say? I'm trying to say, don't talk about big game when you have weak-ass beer. Yeah, I suppose. Especially if it's warm. Especially if it's warm. Don't drink warm beer. Yeah.

Don't go to North Korea if you've got that as a surname. I'm sweating right now. I'm sorry. Poor guy. Yeah. Anyway, let's continue. I just knew you were going to say it. Couldn't help it. Thank you for another delightful show from Sherry. It's an absolute pleasure.

I'm just reading some of the chat. Some butt hurt British people. I know. I love England, guys. You need to stop. I love you guys probably more than my people. I'll tell you from my experience, American people drink way less than British people. Way less. I think that's a good thing. Yeah, I'm just saying. I think that's actually a good thing. The tolerance for alcohol is much higher in the UK, and it's because of the amount that's drank. Yeah.

Because, I mean, going to the pub is also quite a thing. I 100% disagree with you, and I'll tell you why. Because the British people I would see go, they just get absolutely wasted. It doesn't mean they're drinking that much more. It's because they choose to drink that much more.

Maybe a reasonable person cuts themselves off, is my point. Yeah. Well, it's a different culture. You didn't grow up here. All my friends can drink a ton. Oh, but I've lived here for quite a few years now. You didn't grow up in the drinking culture of 20-something-year-olds. They drink just as much. It's just you grow out of it. And I feel like a lot of British people do not. Why would you want to? That I've met. Why would you want to? And I know there's a lot of normal people that do, of course. Of course. And what a silly argument. Let's continue. Roberts are young and beautiful.

Yes, they are okay you mean like this Yeah, what is that doing there I don't know can I get it? Yeah

Yep. Red Ogre says, can I get a what's it called? A puking protest. Oh, yes. The protest. Yes. GTA IV man. Google NASA worldview. You can see daily satellite imagery of the air pollution in China and all the fishing boats too. Oh. That's crazy. That'll be really cool to pull up. KPEX says, thanks for the Borusaku, I think. Is that the...

Yes. May I have another pair? Of course. Here we are here. Oops. Gotta love. What happened? I don't know. Couldn't tell you. Oh, just hang on a second, guys. We're experiencing a technical difficulty here. We'll be back with you in one second. Consider the planet hacked. Yes, there we are. Seymour Bush has an excellent documentary on fishing. Oh.

Whoa, dude. What? You just fell for it again. Did I? Did you see what you said? Seymour Bush. Ha ha ha.

dude you son of a bitch it's too easy it's too easy i'm sick i'm like i think there's a conspiracy to keep me sick so that i fall for your dumb super chance you guys are keeping me sick you're like oh it's pretty funny though i heard he's gonna be in the philadelphia airport let's go like send a guy with a flu yeah exactly you know i mean

Um, just wanted to pull up. You wanted to see the AQI today? Oh, what do you know? 171 unhealthy. Okay. So I just wanted to point that out. What's New York city? Oh, LA. Go for LA. Cause remember that's the most polluted. It's the most polluted like city in, in the U S right. What's that? Um,

Oh, wow. 171 versus 30. Oops. Okay. Dakota Storms, what do you say about Americans who believe China's propaganda about free homes and healthcare? Send them our video. You know what I say? Go. No, don't. We don't want to endorse anyone getting hurt or in trouble. Oh, that's true. It's dangerous. Yeah. Don't.

Don't believe it. And say, don't believe it and say, that's ridiculous. Then why are there so many homeless people then? Honestly, just Google it. Yeah. Well, you know, they'll get all the propaganda when they Google. True.

It's absolutely not true. Just let them watch some of our videos about it. For real. That's the best. It's Me says, I really like the coordinates edition. Me too. I think it's very cool. You know I'm into that kind of stuff. Yeah, I think it's quite fun. I mean, I think we'll wear it out if we do it every week. So let's stagger it, I think. But it could become a semi-normal part of the show. Yeah.

Adam Khan, cheers. Thank you very much. Artyom Kozlo says, what's China's opinion on Ukraine? If you want me to be completely honest, they don't give a shit about Ukraine. No. To be honest, they don't give a shit about any country other than themselves, and they just want to take advantage. So if they find a way to take advantage of Ukraine, then they'll care. They love what's going on now, obviously. Yeah, for sure. They will keep fueling the division and keep putting little bits of crap here and there to cause more problems for everyone else. Yeah.

um dragonella says 3d vance is a great meme maybe the best yes it might be 3d it's so unexpectedly good it's amazing again it does not even political no it doesn't matter no he could you could think he's the greatest guy in the world maybe he's an awesome guy but 3d vance is hilarious so unequivocally so good it's too funny yeah

Keep it up. Don't let the meme die. Or make a better one of someone else. Keep this energy alive. You know what I mean? Maybe make one of a Chinese official next time. I would more appreciate that. Charles Sammons, how are you? They're fine. Matt had a fever and the only cure is pig bites. One charge. Now this is empty though. He actually used it. I used it. This is cool. I like this, but now it's empty.

PB, lads, if possible, cover China's dams in the Mekong. This is crazy. They can turn off the water that flows into Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Vietnam, and Thailand as coercion. They're trying the same with Bangladesh and India now. They do the fentanyl, I think. Not even joking. Cause a problem. Cause a massive problem and then be the only solution to said problem so that you get what you want. China's doing this. They are literally the scumbag, like a scumbag mafia bully. They are. They are bullies and they're the mafia. Yeah. Mm-hmm.

Haunter, one, get well, see Milk soon, you'll just be working out. Yeah, exactly. Let me find that. Where is it? It's supposed to be around here somewhere. There we go. I just got called. Just working out.

Cool. Koala 1203 says, just wishing everyone a great weekend. By the way, can you guys wish a happy birthday to a good friend of mine's sister? She had a birthday yesterday. Happy birthday to your good friends of yours' sisters. Yes. Happy birthday. Yes. Happy birthday.

Some Josh thing Some Josh thing All this pig bay, wow, a little too much for me They didn't ask for a pig bay Josh Stuckberry But he said it was a little too much Wow That's a little too much for me Josh Stuckberry says pig bay Yes I'm so glad that the community Come together and bond over a pig

A pregnant ass pig. It's not. It's a man. It's got nipples and boobs. It's a man. Oh yeah, it's got a dick.

That's why it's schlong pig. It's a trans pig. It's just the world's first trans pig. It's just a pig, dude. Do you not have nipples? I got nipples, but I don't got those massive udders. You've seen a male pig at the petting zoo and stuff. Some dudes got moobs. We saw it at that... Remember we went to the farm? No, that pig... Those male pigs didn't have boobs. They didn't have boobs. Dude, some dudes have moobs. Imagine someone clipping this out. And it's like, hey...

Hey, there's this amazing politics show. If you want to stay up to date on the serious stuff that's happening in China, there's this phenomenon. You've got to see this thing. They're covering this thing called Ruination. Here's a clip. And it's pigs don't, male pigs don't have boobs. Yeah. Some men have moobs. That's right. Yes. That will be the ad for the show. That will be it. And they'll be like, wow. Those guys are switched on. Yeah. Correct. Let's continue.

That's why we cut the Q&A out of the show on Monday. This is true. This is true. Makeshift keeps shouting the word like puking protester. Mm-hmm. I will do. And where is he? Let's continue. I challenge Seamilk to drink six pints of Guinness. I want to enjoy it. It's a lot of liquid.

Yeah, it's a lot of liquid. I couldn't drink a thing now. We'll take you up on that. I'll make sure he does it at some point. You have to do it too, then. Yeah, of course. I will do it. I can easily do that. All right. I don't want to. Yeah, but let's do it, then. I'll probably feel gross because it's so dark. You know what I mean? It's just so dark. Yeah, it's like drinking bread. Yeah. Oh, it's good, though. We'll do it. Six pints? Easy. No problem. If you can drink a crappy, like...

Triple IPA. Oh, yeah. I drink Imperial IPA. I love it. Big fan. 10% alcohol. I have no problem with that. Drink three of those. Yeah. Richard G., Pig Bay. What a wonderful song. Yes, it is. What a wonderful song. Okay, so I'm not going to play the Pig Bay, but I will play this. What a wonderful song. How come I've never heard it before? I wonder how old Salte Waters is doing. And I wish they'd bring him back. Yeah, me too. Jenny Toles says, I can't believe I changed my name on here to catch you out and nobody noticed.

Oh, you did? You changed your name and... To what? I don't know. Jenny Tull... Oh, genitals, dude. You got caught again. Jenny Tull. That's a pretty good one. Yeah, it is. Oh, I'm so embarrassed. This is becoming quite an interesting new feature of the show. I feel like shit! You guys don't know what I did to come here today. Oh, yeah. I could barely drive to work. You made it, though.

I'm gonna die! Trash... Binner. Trasher Binner. Trasher Binner says, thanks for the show, by the way. What's your stance about the declarations of Irish... Oh, we're talking about Irish... Irish Foreign Affairs Mike Ock. Stop! Stop!

Dude. I was thinking he was foreign. He said foreign. That's a foreign word. Okay, guys. All right. All right. Let's continue. In regards to Chinese fleets over Ephesians. Yeah. You son of a bitch. It's like you don't take advantage of people when they're in a compromised state. Yes, you do.

You don't draw like penises on people's faces when they're drunk. No, no. You definitely don't do that. No, I don't do that. I'm against that. I feel like you would absolutely do that. No, no. I'm not. I've seen what you do to people when they're drunk. Yeah, but I don't do that. That's disrespectful.

Where do you draw the line? I've got morals, and one of them is do not draw random crap on people when they're passed out. In fact, I leave them alone when they're passed out. Yeah, no, when they're passed out, for sure. Yeah, I'll leave them alone. I'll coerce people into getting hammered or whatever. I play tricks.

You know, I'm a bit of a trickster. You are a bit of a trickster. A little bit of a trickster. Yeah. You know? I can see it because me and you can drink a lot. Yeah. Like, yeah. Anyway. It's fun. Some people, when they talk a big game, they end up pretty drunk. Yep. Miss Rachel says, what about Tusker beer? What's Tusker beer? I don't know, actually, but it rings a bell. I've heard that before. Tusker beer, huh? Let's see. Oh, it's Kenyan. Oh, interesting. Interesting.

I don't think I've ever had that. It's very low alcohol, 4.2, like those weak British beers. Yeah. British people shouldn't have such a weak beer. I used to drink a lot of Vintook, which is probably about 5% thereabouts, but my favorite was Black Label, which is 5.5%. Okay. Vintook beer is... Yeah, because I'm thinking you guys have normal ABV before. Oh, that's much lower than I thought. That was my favorite, Black Label.

But that's the South African one is different to the one in the UK. Yeah. South Africa. 5.5. Yeah. That's more normal. That's normal here. That's like a normal ABV here. And I used to get the quartz. We call them quartz. Those are just the big ones, you know, like in China, but they're actually bigger than those. Oh, it's a different size. Interesting. Boycott China. Are you taking a piss? We are not taking the piss. We would never take the piss. No. Um,

Americans don't understand pub culture. Oh, I know. I know pub culture. I understand. I'm joking. I'm just making fun of the expats that used to brag about drinking all the time. You guys going to the pub and hanging out with your local area, I think that's super cool. I think the British pub culture is really fascinating to me. It's like the whole community comes there and you get your roast and you're hanging out with your neighbors. That's where you see your neighbors. I think it's really neat. Take part of the pub quiz. Yeah.

I think it's, I actually love that. So don't ever think I'm getting down on you. I'm making fun of expats that brag about drinking all the time. Alcoholism is not, is not like being mature. Sure. You know what I mean? Yeah.

Well, let's put it this way. If you're like 50 years old and you're somewhere in Asia getting drunk at a bar, you're probably not the most, you know, greatest shiny example of a man. Bragging to 20 year olds. Yeah, exactly. We're all like, wow, I wish I could be like you someday. Yeah. Anyway, let's move on. Yeah. Gary McBride says, here's some Lianghua Qingwen for Matt. I'm boxed. Oh, box. It's been a while. I'm boxed.

Chippy Wisk says, haha, great show. Have a nice weekend, boys. Thank you. You too. Diesel Baby says, have you guys noticed a recent surge in claims and videos of China's supposed green energy transition? Of course. And it's the same with the fishing industry.

They say, oh, look, we're doing all this green energy. Meanwhile, that's just a smoke screen. It's a facade while they're busy building more coal power plants. Yeah, I was about to say, it usually means the opposite. Yeah. When they turn that up like there's no homelessness, it means there's a big homelessness problem. Yeah. There's a big pollution problem. They turn it up. Yeah, they turn it up to 11. We're going to do sustainable fishing, and then they send out more fishing fleets. Yes. Spanky Jones says, those robot voices killed me. It was a beautiful voice. Why haven't I heard it before? Yeah, exactly. I'm glad to hear that Saltay's coming back. What a wonderful song. Yeah.

How come I've never heard it before? Salday's back. Donkey Punch Prime says, I, in my first love, recently found y'all's channel. Great work. Thank you, Donkey Punch Prime. That's an interesting name. Yeah, it is. We love you. We love you. Richard G., Pig Bay for our sister. Makes me irritate. We're all these relatives that are friends that are getting Pig Bays. It's like a familial effort. Yeah.

It's good. It's good. I like to see it. Oh, my goodness gracious. Big Bay for the win. I think that's probably our most popular soundbite. Yeah. Chad Simplicio. All these events around Trump and JD made me angry as irritated train rider that you shared recently. Yeah. The train rider, yeah. Mia, unrelated. Do you drink Chinese tea? I do not. I live in Europe and I have a hard time finding quality tea, especially Chinese tea sets quality wise. Yeah.

Yeah, I used to drink quite a lot of Chinese tea. In China? Yeah, I like Pu'er and Mo Li Hua. Those are two good chas, you might say. I like Pu'er Cha. The thing is, I don't like it enough to drink it now, though. You know what I mean? I like the ceremony behind it. Me too, but kind of only when I'm there. Yeah, I'm more of a coffee drinker than a tea drinker anyway. Me too.

Even though I've got British heritage. There is a guy, an American dude, that does tea, Chinese tea. He's a Chinese speaker.

Seems like a good guy. He's on YouTube. I can't remember his channel. You know what I've always had a problem about with Chinese teas? They always make a big brouhaha about like, oh, it's... Yeah, exactly. They're always like, oh, the tea leaf grown in this majestic mountain or whatever. You know their soil's polluted as shit. Yeah. You know what I mean? You don't want the tea from China. I am so sorry, but like you get like tea... That's true. Culture tea and the tea culture is amazing in China. Don't get me wrong. And there's a lot of history behind it. And it's one of the things that actually survived...

the cultural revolution and all that. And I love the tea culture and I love the whole, the Gong Fu Cha and they do all the things, all the tools and the, and they have all these specialty teas and they're incredible and they're great. But you know that there's not one inch of land in China that hasn't been tainted. So when you're getting this specially imported from the mountains of wherever, you're like, oh, so amazing. And you're like, I am holding something that was grown in pollution or in tainted soil. And I hate that.
