I'm Sorry, I Was Wrong About China

  • 0:00 - 0:07
    There is a massive rot within Chinese society 
    that’s literally killing students. This is  
  • 0:07 - 0:14
    something the CCP doesn’t want people 
    to talk about… So let’s talk about it!
  • 0:14 - 0:16
    Welcome to China Uncensored. I’m Chris Chappell.
  • 0:16 - 0:17
    Before we begin, 
  • 0:17 - 0:22
    do you know what the number one most 
    popular app in the world right now is?
  • 0:22 - 0:28
    The China Uncensored app! Get exclusive 
    China analysis you won’t see anywhere else.
  • 0:29 - 0:32
    Oh my gawd! I love learning 
    about political infighting at  
  • 0:32 - 0:37
    the highest levels of the Chinese Communist Party.
  • 0:37 - 0:40
    Available for Android and iOS. Links below.
  • 0:40 - 0:41
    So…
  • 0:41 - 0:45
    Did you know that China is living 
    in the future? Just look at all  
  • 0:45 - 0:49
    the shiny sparkly lights! Isn’t it amazing?
  • 0:49 - 0:54
    Yup, the future in China is bright, with 
    typical cities that positively glow.
  • 0:54 - 0:58
    Just ask random people on 
    the street. They’ll tell you.
  • 0:58 - 1:03
    “What is the best country in the entire world?”
    “China.” 
  • 1:03 - 1:06
    “Why?”
    “Beautiful culture there.” 
  • 1:06 - 1:09
    “Delicious foods.”
    “The best country in the entire world.” 
  • 1:09 - 1:12
    “Probably gonna say China.”
    “Why China?” 
  • 1:12 - 1:15
    “Low crime rates, and they 
    do a lot of manufacturing.” 
  • 1:15 - 1:16
    “China.”
    “Why?” 
  • 1:16 - 1:20
    “It’s like so futuristic compared to us. Like, 
    they’re so much more advanced than we are.” 
  • 1:20 - 1:23
    “China.”
    “Why China is your favorite country?” 
  • 1:23 - 1:26
    “Because it’s a well-developed country.”
    “But there are many well-developed  
  • 1:26 - 1:32
    countries. Why exactly China?”
    “Because it’s a well-developed country.”
  • 1:32 - 1:34
    Very natural. And all those cuts while the people  
  • 1:34 - 1:38
    were answering definitely weren’t 
    so they could be fed more lines.
  • 1:38 - 1:44
    And that’s not all! Haven’t you heard how 
    incredibly safe and advanced China is?
  • 1:44 - 1:48
    Pro-CCP shills love to brag about 
    how advanced and beautiful China  
  • 1:48 - 1:51
    is. Absolutely not on the brink of total collapse!
  • 1:51 - 1:56
    According to them, it’s the roaring 20s in 
    China! Which is an odd choice of metaphor,  
  • 1:56 - 1:58
    since the roaring 20s in the West ended with…
  • 1:58 - 2:00
    the Great Depression.
  • 2:00 - 2:05
    But the problem is, they’re only giving 
    you a very small, curated picture of China.
  • 2:05 - 2:07
    What are they not showing?
  • 2:07 - 2:11
    Things like this. Which are a lot more 
    common than China would have you believe.
  • 2:11 - 2:15
    For example: earlier this month, 
    thousands of people protested against  
  • 2:15 - 2:22
    Xuchang No. 6 Middle School after a 
    13-year-old girl unalived herself.
  • 2:22 - 2:27
    Spoiler: we’re gonna be talking about unaliving 
    so much in this episode that we can’t say the  
  • 2:27 - 2:33
    word for unaliving without YouTube getting mad 
    and unaliving the monetization of this video.
  • 2:33 - 2:38
    The student, Wu Yijia, was reportedly 
    doing well academically. But then her  
  • 2:38 - 2:42
    new homeroom teacher, known simply as Zhang, came.
  • 2:42 - 2:49
    Family and classmates of Wu claim that Zhang 
    constantly bullied Wu for months. Probably  
  • 2:49 - 2:54
    because Zhang is a super well-adjusted, happy 
    person, like all adults that bully children.
  • 2:54 - 3:00
    “The bullying included frequent public 
    insults, forcing her to stand as punishment,  
  • 3:00 - 3:06
    barring her from entering the classroom for an 
    entire day, making her run in scorching heat,  
  • 3:06 - 3:10
    and inciting other classmates to ostracize her.”
  • 3:10 - 3:15
    Things got so bad that “On May 23, after 
    being forced to stand as punishment for  
  • 3:15 - 3:22
    three consecutive days, Wu Yijia jumped from the 
    16th floor of her apartment building and died.”
  • 3:22 - 3:26
    Wu’s family met with school officials the 
    next day and ended up in a heated argument,  
  • 3:26 - 3:31
    during which Zhang reportedly showed 
    complete indifference and no remorse.
  • 3:31 - 3:38
    According to Wu’s family, the school put 
    the blame for Wu’s death entirely on them.
  • 3:38 - 3:43
    So the family protested at the middle school 
    entrance that evening. Wu’s classmates,  
  • 3:43 - 3:49
    meanwhile, began sharing her story on social 
    media, and it garnered tons of attention.
  • 3:49 - 3:53
    Hopefully, Zhang will soon be forced 
    to stand… in the unemployment line.
  • 3:53 - 3:56
    The following morning, Wu’s family returned to the  
  • 3:56 - 4:01
    school entrance holding pictures of the 
    deceased. They demanded accountability.
  • 4:01 - 4:07
    Then things escalated, with tons of students 
    gathering, throwing flyers, smashing windows,
  • 4:07 - 4:11
    And writing slogans like 
    “blood debt must be repaid”.  
  • 4:11 - 4:13
    Yup, best country in the world right here!
  • 4:13 - 4:15
    The authorities soon started getting involved,
  • 4:15 - 4:20
    And by the evening, the police had sealed 
    off the main roads surrounding the school…
  • 4:20 - 4:25
    And sent in a unit to keep guard. Because 
    a child getting bullied to death? Whatever.  
  • 4:25 - 4:32
    People getting mad about a child getting bullied 
    to death? Knock it off! We live in a society!
  • 4:32 - 4:34
    So what came out of this? Nothing!
  • 4:34 - 4:38
    Wu’s father came out with a video 
    saying that everything’s all handled  
  • 4:38 - 4:42
    and that he hoped everybody would 
    stop talking about his daughter.
  • 4:42 - 4:46
    There’s a good chance that he was 
    coerced to say that by local authorities.
  • 4:46 - 4:51
    Wu’s tragic story is just one of 
    many similar stories in China.
  • 4:51 - 4:56
    Which is why I think now’s the time for a 
    China Uncensored mental health break. Aw,  
  • 4:56 - 5:00
    look at the puppies! Hopefully, these ones 
    didn’t go to any Chinese puppy schools.
  • 5:00 - 5:06
    Anyway, back to Chinese schools being dodgy 
    after a student’s death. For example: at the  
  • 5:06 - 5:11
    beginning of this year, a 17-year-old student 
    at Pucheng Vocational Education Center died.
  • 5:11 - 5:17
    The local authorities reported that the student 
    fell to his death and ruled out criminality.
  • 5:17 - 5:23
    Yup, just an accidental large fall, happens 
    all the time in Communist countries..
  • 5:23 - 5:28
    But people started wondering if there was 
    more to the story. And for good reason.
  • 5:28 - 5:34
    The 17-year-old’s mother said that she first 
    heard about her son’s death at a little past 7am…
  • 5:34 - 5:41
    but was taken to the hotel opposite the school, 
    where two teachers took turns watching over her  
  • 5:41 - 5:47
    and didn’t allow her to move freely until 4pm, 
    when she was taken directly to the funeral home.
  • 5:47 - 5:52
    They were essentially monitoring her and holding 
    her hostage, while potentially covering up a  
  • 5:52 - 5:58
    crime? Kind of beside the point, but for all 
    they do, teachers really don’t get paid enough.
  • 5:58 - 6:01
    When she finally saw him, she noticed that her son
  • 6:01 - 6:06
    “was neatly dressed with no external 
    injuries on his face or head,  
  • 6:06 - 6:09
    but he had a lot of bruises under his neck.”
  • 6:10 - 6:14
    I’m no medical expert, but all my 
    years of playing the pit stage in  
  • 6:14 - 6:18
    Mortal Kombat II prove that’s not 
    how injuries after falls work.
  • 6:18 - 6:22
    She wanted to lift her son’s clothes 
    to see if there were other injuries,  
  • 6:22 - 6:26
    but more than a dozen teachers stopped 
    her from seeing and taking any photos.
  • 6:26 - 6:28
    Which isn’t at all sus.
  • 6:28 - 6:32
    According to her, she only got to see her 
    son briefly before she was driven out.
  • 6:32 - 6:36
    And, to make matters worse, 
    the mother also claimed that…
  • 6:36 - 6:40
    “All the mobile phones and watches 
    of the children who knew about the  
  • 6:40 - 6:45
    situation were confiscated, and 
    all photos in them were deleted.”
  • 6:45 - 6:48
    You know, the kind of thing innocent 
    people do when they have nothing to  
  • 6:48 - 6:52
    hide and aren’t gonna wind up as 
    an episode of a true crime podcast.
  • 6:52 - 6:54
    People started asking questions, like
  • 6:54 - 7:00
    why the kid’s head was fine if he fell, why 
    there were quote unquote “neck pinch marks”,  
  • 7:00 - 7:04
    and why the school didn’t allow 
    the parents to see their child.
  • 7:04 - 7:07
    Unanswered questions turned to outrage.
  • 7:07 - 7:09
    Local people started rioting at the school.
  • 7:09 - 7:11
    They threw rocks,
  • 7:11 - 7:14
    Paper money — and paper beat the 
    rocks — and instead of scissors:
  • 7:14 - 7:18
    fire hydrants. Which I’m 
    pretty sure beats everything.
  • 7:18 - 7:20
    There were many…
  • 7:20 - 7:21
    Many…
  • 7:21 - 7:24
    Many clashes with the police,
  • 7:24 - 7:28
    Along with arrests. Because covering 
    up the death of a child? No problem.  
  • 7:28 - 7:32
    Being mad about that? Have you 
    no decency, sirs and madams?!
  • 7:32 - 7:37
    There were also reports that videos and 
    livestreams of the protests were getting deleted.
  • 7:37 - 7:40
    But just look at those skylines sparkle!
  • 7:40 - 7:43
    That’s just a drop in the bucket. 
    Schools and local authorities have  
  • 7:43 - 7:48
    been accused of covering up 
    many other suspicious deaths.
  • 7:48 - 7:53
    There was the December 2023 case when 
    a 14-year-old reportedly had multiple  
  • 7:53 - 7:58
    bruises on his body, multiple holes in 
    his arm, perhaps from a screwdriver,  
  • 7:58 - 8:06
    wounds exposing bones, and a twisted ankle. 
    His cause of death was ruled as self-unaliving.
  • 8:06 - 8:10
    That same month, a 3rd grade student 
    from Lingshan Elementary School in  
  • 8:10 - 8:17
    Haikou died with multiple fractures and a 
    dislocated arm. The school refused parents’  
  • 8:17 - 8:21
    requests to view surveillance footage, 
    claiming that the cameras were damaged.
  • 8:21 - 8:27
    And in 2021, a mother demanded transparency 
    over her 17-year-old son’s death in front of  
  • 8:27 - 8:34
    Chengdu No. 49 High School after being told 
    by the school that he fell from a building.
  • 8:34 - 8:38
    But the mother “wasn’t notified by the school 
    until two hours later, when her son’s body was  
  • 8:38 - 8:43
    at a funeral parlor, or allowed on campus 
    to speak with his classmates or teachers.  
  • 8:43 - 8:48
    And school officials initially rejected her 
    request to check footage from security cameras.”
  • 8:48 - 8:51
    With all these suspicious deaths I’m starting to  
  • 8:51 - 8:54
    wonder if they kept Jeffrey 
    Epstein in a Chinese school.
  • 8:54 - 8:56
    I think you get the picture. And in China,
  • 8:56 - 8:58
    that picture looks like this.
  • 8:58 - 9:04
    Parents are left demanding answers, because they 
    can’t trust the authorities to be transparent.
  • 9:04 - 9:08
    This is a pattern Chinese people are 
    all too familiar with: Chinese students  
  • 9:08 - 9:12
    die under strange circumstances, 
    parents start asking questions,  
  • 9:12 - 9:16
    the authorities do the exact opposite of 
    being transparent, people get outraged,  
  • 9:16 - 9:23
    and those in power kill protests and 
    information. Oops, sorry, YouTube. Unalive  
  • 9:23 - 9:29
    protests and information. Because the language 
    is the most offensive part of these stories.
  • 9:29 - 9:35
    In fact, one viral 2021 Weibo post that talked 
    about student unalivings is no longer available.
  • 9:35 - 9:39
    Those in power, whether they be teachers or 
    local authorities, are so afraid of looking  
  • 9:39 - 9:44
    bad that they’ll do whatever it takes to hide 
    information that sheds light on students’ deaths.
  • 9:44 - 9:49
    One school went so far as to make 
    students sign unaliving disclaimers…
  • 9:49 - 9:55
    That said “If I commit the action of self-injuring 
    or uhh self unaliving, it has nothing to do with  
  • 9:55 - 10:02
    the school. Myself, my parents or my guardians 
    will not claim any loss or ask for any  
  • 10:02 - 10:07
    compensation from the school or school staff, 
    nor will they disturb the school’s teaching.”
  • 10:07 - 10:10
    What’s that school’s mascot? A lemming?
  • 10:10 - 10:14
    The last thing officials want is to be 
    known for having a toxic school environment,
  • 10:14 - 10:17
    especially since the Chinese 
    government, at least on paper,  
  • 10:17 - 10:20
    tries to make itself look 
    like it cares for students.
  • 10:20 - 10:21
    Of course, they could just,  
  • 10:21 - 10:26
    you know… actually care for students. But 
    I guess that’s just asking for too much.
  • 10:27 - 10:29
    What kind of culture encourages this kind  
  • 10:29 - 10:34
    of response to tragedies as 
    horrible as student deaths?
  • 10:34 - 10:37
    I’ll tell you what: a culture 
    cultivated by the CCP.
  • 10:37 - 10:39
    The CCP are so obsessed with image,  
  • 10:39 - 10:44
    cracking down on protestors, and shutting 
    down information that makes it look bad.
  • 10:44 - 10:47
    So is it a surprise when institutions across China  
  • 10:47 - 10:52
    act the same? The Students have 
    literally become the Teachers.
  • 10:52 - 10:57
    So when you see people say China’s a 
    utopia that’s investing in its people…
  • 10:57 - 11:01
    Remember images like this… 
    before they get censored, too.
  • 11:01 - 11:06
    The CCP is pumping a lot of money to China 
    shills to spread propaganda. We don’t have  
  • 11:06 - 11:12
    those resources. So please, help us continue to 
    expose the CCP, by subscribing to our website,  
  • 11:12 - 11:15

    YouTube censorship, and you’ll get a
