For research purposes, here is an (incomplete) list of foreign vloggers who have made videos about the Xinjiang/Cotton debate. Most of them are on Chinese platform bilibili, many have YouTube channels too. (1) 歪果仁研究协会 (feat. Raz Gal-Or aka 高佑思): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67pU0Ybovnc">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
(1.1) CGTN‘s interview of Raz Ga-Or. The Chinese video description claims journalists had a & #39;chance encounter& #39; (偶遇) with Gal-Or while reporting in Xinjiang. Any one familiar with Chinese media knows what & #39;chance encounter& #39; actually means: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNQ7NFIHTs0">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
(2) Jason, Mr有意思 aka Living in China claims no camps while walking down a street, presumably in Xinjiang: https://youtu.be/beq9Dua4Ajk ">https://youtu.be/beq9Dua4A...
(3) Seasoned vlogger Jerry Kowal aka 我是郭杰瑞 (6m fans on bilibli) has not made a video yet, but said in a livestream session that he would support Xinjiang cottons, asking fans what products he should commission using cottons from Xinjiang: https://www.bilibili.com/video/av629812414">https://www.bilibili.com/video/av6...
(4) Nathan Rich aka 火锅大王 made at least two videos about Xinjiang, here is the earlier one. The latest one, from 26 March 2021, denounces Western corporate imperialism in China. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EovpQE6dZeE">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
(5) Barrett看中国, among other things, claims that nothing that @adrianzenz has ever written has ever been peer reviewed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2kgZQLAdXQ">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
(6) Daniel Dumbrill, in a video widely cited by Chinese state media and on social media, rightfully hammers anti-China propaganda from the US/Canada, but doesn& #39;t seem to be equally sceptical about the other side: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mH-0l_zToN4">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
(7) 马佳PopMatta (450,000 fans on bilibili) claims H&M is the most detested brand in Europe and buys BCI certification so that they can continue to make dirty money: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmaSLZuS214">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
(8) Danny Haiphong: All the signs outside Urumchi station are bilingual, Chinese police are protecting the mosques, bc bad buys are attacking the mosques and blame it on the Chinese government (sorry, I stopped there, too painful to keep listening): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z--wMyyqE24">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
(9) Cyrus Janssen aka 王德中Cyrus: An allegation requires clear evidence. Interestingly the title of his bilibili video (John Deere cotton picker No.1 sale in XJ, yet they don& #39;t allow business with XJ cotton, how shameful!) is very different from YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6xuY5SRKto">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
(10) 维多利亚和查理 (a German-Chinese couple on bilibili) the German girl says it is just & #39;another ridiculous claim against China& #39; and proclaims she no longer wears any international brands and only buys Chinese brand clothing from Taobao. https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1bV411e7Jo">https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1...
(10) 娜塔莎一家 (Russian girl, 121,000 fans on bilibili) says she is so outraged by the baseless accusation that she will only buy Chinese brands or counterfeit foreign brands from now on: https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1XK411c7Zi">https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1...
(11) 巴基斯坦的程诺 (Pakistani guy) says US-led countries have distorted the fact. They don& #39;t understand China and they don& #39;t understand cotton. https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV17K4y1S7t4">https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1...
(12) 印度三哥MANU马怒 (Indian guy) goes to a HM store in India and dismisses it. He repeats the 吃饭砸锅 gag and says it is white people who are forcing others to pick cottons. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wV_c_l-K21k">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
(13) Finally, how can we end without the venerable @deguoziganwu whose video is, of course, unlike any of the vloggers above, and discusses the nature of the camps in Xinjiang: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGezdpaferg">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
