Xinjiang: From the eyes of an Australian British who cycled across China

As home to 47 ethnic minority groups, Xinjiang is a colorful land boasting diverse cultures and landscapes. It was once plagued by terrorist attacks, killing innocent people. But what is it like now? What's the life of local people like? British-Australian Jerry Grey, who has traveled to Xinjiang five times and bicycled across several provinces of China, shares his journey and observations of Xinjiang with CGTN. #Xinjiang #China #Uygur

    @Murdoch Ravenhill I take exception to your comment that " if China wasn't so unwelcoming to foreigners ...." There is a large number of videos on utube posted by foreigners who live and work in China. The following are a few 1. Blondie in China ( Australian ) 2. Barrett ( Brits ) 3. Nathan Rich ( American ) 4. Nico ( Brits) 5. Cyrus Janssen ( American ) 6. Gweilo 60 ( Canadian ) 7. the Jayoe Nation ( American ) 8. numuves ( Canadian ) 9. Daniel Dumbrill ( Canadian ) 10. China Teacher Brand ( Columbian ) I don't live in China but these videos gave me some idea how hospitable or inhospitable China is to foreigners. Most of these expats seem happy with their lifestyle and some are permanently settled in China. Naturally, I can't confirm they are not all paid by the CCP to post their videos. And of course no one is claiming China, or any country, is perfect.

    @Murdoch Ravenhill judging from your other comments on China related vids. Shall we just stop pretending you are giving some kind of honest observations? Haters' gonna hate. Why not just tell us this is who you are? It is really pointless to have any meaningful discussion with someone generalising 1.4b ppl in such a way that Chinese are homogeneous, oppressed, lack of independent thinking and some kind ideology freaks (my takes after reading your post). If you are not happy with 1.4b, you tell me if it is your problem or their problem? Perhaps you should start with being not narrow minded. I've been places, never for once did I judge locals by my own standards/experience or crying why they are different from what I think they should be; let alone generalising the entire population. My advice to people like you: stop being obsessed with something you find it hard to enjoy, leaving each other alone is a better way to manage your frustration.

    Xinjiang is huge and has incredible nature and scenery, definitely worth the extra security. Last visited Xinjiang in the spring of 2019 to visit my ailing father inlaw, aside from the extra security we enjoyed the visit. To the contrary we felt much safer because of the security. Jerry mentioned that Xinjiang is multi ethnic and that is part of the attraction, the Uyghur restaurants, food shops and people are wonderful. The Uyghur are thriving and it was amazing to see the changes since my last visit in 2013, they seem to have moved up the economic ladder like the other ethnic groups and Han. Jerry didn't mention that the security forces are also multi ethnic and have many Uighars that are often in senior positions of authority. Sadly, like Jerry I've had family and friends literally attack me when I speak of China honestly. I had to endure some very nutty abuse on the phone where they would yell vitriolic hatred towards a country they have never visited and call me brainwashed. Why were they hurling abuse towards me is even more sad, it was early March and I was warning them to take the pandemic seriously and sharing the success of the Chineses authorities pandemic measures and Grid Management. My goal was simply to help them avoid getting very sick or dying. Sad to lose friends and family to the non-stop hate propaganda doing its work in west.

How about you, have you ever even set foot in China? If you have, you'd see lots of lies are told in western media about China purely for political and economic gains. Anyway, my proof is here: www.workers.org/2019/12/44963/amp/ ; thecommunists.org/2019/12/31/news/blatant-hypocrisy-usa-lies-about-china-uighur-muslims/ ; thegrayzone.com/2018/08/23/un-did-not-report-china-internment-camps-uighur-muslims/ Bear in mind that these articles don't need to provide citations, as these are quite well-established facts, unlike the arbitrary, unfounded allegations about "concentration camps" in Xinjiang.

    We visited Urumqi, Xinjiang in September 2018. Our experience there concurs with what Jerry Grey said. We saw local people carrying on their lives no different from any other part of China. Buisness was as usual at the Urumqi Erdaoqiao International Grand Bazaar, where one can get all kinds of Uighur food, cultural and essential products. Children were everywhere, so it is hard to believe that there is genocide going on as claimed by western media. Security was indeed tight and check points were set up on hightways to prevent the type of bombing attack that took place in 2014 again. It baffles me people will believe what they want to believe without questioning the authenticity of all the negative claims.

    The reason the US government refuses to send its "human rights" watchdogs into Xinjiang is because these "human rights" watchdogs are controlled and run by the US government and their job is to make up stories about human rights violations against countries that the US government wants to destroy because these countries refused to follow orders sent out by the US government. Because these countries continue to run their country in a way that would mainly benefit themselves and their citizens instead of running their country in a way that would benefit the US only they were invaded by the US military and their governments were destroyed and overthrown by the US government. Once the US government has finished destroying these countries it then picked new leaders (Puppets) who would follow every order that the US government tells them to do. The US has destroyed countless countries that refused to follow its orders and play by its rules. For example, the US invaded Libya because Colonel Gaddafi refused to bowl down to the US's demands that he must privatize his oil reserves so that the US's corporations could own them one day, he must stop his close ties with Russia and other Middle East and African countries that the US did not like, and he must not avoid using the US dollar in his trading with other nations. Gaddafi refused to follow all of those orders and that was the reason the US invaded his country and had him murdered. It had absolutely nothing to do with human rights as the US government had alleged for the US is responsible for nearly all of the human rights violations and human sufferings that have happened within the last 77 years since the end of WW2. The US uses these "human rights" BS excuse to invade and destroy countless countries throughout the world. Some have estimated as many as 95 countries have been destroyed either directly by the US or with the US's involvements in some capacity.

    Even after years, I can't stop my tears when I watched the vedios that terrorists were attacking people in Xinjiang and Kunming, stabbing them with knives regardless genders, ages and ethics. Think about how the western hurt by 911. It is really hard to get the point that how security measures and reeducating extremists violate human right. People live in Xinjiang know what is for their best. FB provided the platform to terrorists and refused to close their accounts when the tragedy happened, but no one critized them for human rights? Thanks to the efforts the Chinese government has done, my parents travelled around Xinjiang last year and they felt Xinjiang is the safest place in China now. My friend spent three years in one of the poorest village in the south Xinjiang, away from his new married wife and families. He taught the Uyghurs Mandarin and also learnt the local language for better communication. He helped them to build family farms and shown them how to sell farm products via internet. This is what the so called CCP young men are doing in every single poor village right now. But what have the US government done for poor people here? Why can't they leave the other countries alone and do their own job given we have thousand people die everyday and I have been stuck in the room for half a year !

This is a way to ensure ( as they all live in china ) a way for them to work and prosper in China, out of poverty or get a good job in various places outside of Xinjiang.

    Speaking of security checks... I have been to India many times for business since 2011, all the hotels I have stayed are equipped with x-ray baggage scanner, walk through metal detector, and one channel for men, one channel for women, for the handheld metal detector check- don't remember if they also do the pat-down. They check the vehicles, trunk and underneath, with the help of explosive detection canine. (It's so hot in many places the poor dogs have to wear shoes.) You go to big shopping malls, security check required too. Hotels in Manila are the same. So, such measures are pretty normal, and needed, for places that experienced bad terror attacks.

Recent incidents include the 1992 Ürümqi bombings, the 1997 Ürümqi bus bombings, the 2010 Aksu bombing, the 2011 Hotan attack, 2011 Kashgar attacks, the 2014 Ürümqi attack, and the 2014 Kunming attack. 2014 Kunming attack Inside the Kunming railway station in Kunming, Yunnan, China, at around 21:20 on 1 March 2014, a group of knife-wielding terrorists attacked passengers at the city's railway station. Both male and female attackers pulled out long-bladed knives and stabbed and slashed innocent passengers. Four assailants were shot to death by police on the spot, and one injured female perpetrator was captured. The assailants killed 31 civilians with injuring more than 140 people.

    Mr. Jerry Grey, thank you for taking your time to speak the truth. wish you and your family good health, love Hong Kong. I wish people can cross check facts through trustworthy sources, in the case of Xingjing, people like yourself a former police officer from UK and World bank report on Xingjing, etc. The Western government in particular the US government have supported terrorists and try to separate Xingjing from China but fail because Chinese government implement tough securities thus peace is now been restored. US also back some political parties and organisations in HK which promote independence of HK and caused over 1,000 riots in 2019, thus China had to implement security laws to protect HK. While Western countries also have such security law and in US the penalty for separatist movement with highest punishment is death penalty which HK is just life imprisonment. US basically don’t want to give up their bulling dominance of the world because of the raise of China and they want to destroy China at all cost. This is a bad decision that US think tank have chosen to attack China, China will not allow US to destroy China because China is no longer the China of old and it will surely put up a fight because US wants to destroy China like they destroy Britain and Japan. A better solution or a wiser solution is for US to accept China and work together for the benefit of the world, if one understand China, China wants peace and harmony and not war or occupy others, beside how long does an average individual live on this planet? Why not set up a good system for your children and grand children to enjoy. Why waste so much money on military? Instead, utilise the money on your people to better their lives. Win win situation. God bless humanity.

    It is indeed encouraging to see more and more righteous men, like Jerry Grey, raising their voice for honesty and truth. “Prejudices, it is well known, are most difficult to eradicate from the heart whose soil has never been loosened or fertilised by education: they grow there, firm as weeds among stones.” Wrote Charlotte Bronte, English novelist and poet. What Charlotte didn’t tell us is that prejudice can also be, and often is, the result of decades of propaganda, of miseducation, indoctrination and proselytisation. It is patently clear that many mainstream western media are not free from prejudice or bias, nor are they free from the propensity to deliberately disseminate untruthful or selective information. In fact, the dissemination of bias or fake news are often intentional, calculated at misleading readers, or to justify a certain narrative bias; and often with malicious aim - to demonise and to destabilise China.

    Love your sharing. I always like those who has travelled widely and sharing their stories. Xinjiang, i believe is a nice place, and it has been developing very fast. There are several local xinjiang youtubers very popular in youtube and i have been following their daily life stories. Very interesting to me. In the video, i have noticed many ethnicities intermingled happily with each other.

There were no exhibits of his photography. Nothing about where he went. To comprehensively travel through Xinjiang, if it is indeed almost as large as Alaska in the US, would require many months of travel and still you could not see it all on a bicycle.

Its good that people continue to speak out and hopefully more people have the ability to travel to Xinjiang and tell the truths.

    UK police had, for some time since terrorist attacks, the power of stop and search. But in its colonies, Britain had draconian powers such as the infamous Internal Security Act under which anyone under suspicion could be arrested, interrogated (tortured in many cases), and jailed indefinitely. The power of deportation was often exercised in places where Britain allowed migrants into its colonies in order to exploit the natural resources.

    This is a list of famous mosques in China. A Mosque is a place of pilgrimage for The faithful of Islam. The first mosque in China, the Great Mosque of Xi 'an, also known as the Great Mosque of Xi 'an, was built during the Tang Dynasty in the 8th century. There are now more than 39,000 mosques throughout China, 25,000 of which are located in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Another says there are between 20,000 and 45,000 mosques. In China, synagogues are also called mosques by Chinese Jews. Mosque is also called Hui Hui temple, Hui Hui temple, mosque, zhenjiao temple, Qingjing temple. During the Qing Dynasty, the entrance to the Hui mosque was engraved with the ancient tablet of "long live the Emperor, long live, long live forever". Westerners visiting China have noticed the ancient tablets in mosques in Yunnan and Ningbo. Most mosques have certain features in common, but like other religions, Chinese Islamic architecture reflects local architecture through its own style. China is famous for its beautiful temple-like mosques. But in western China, mosques like those in Iran and Central Asia have tall, thin minarets, curved arches and domes, and unique multi-storey entrances. In northwest China, where Chinese Hui built mosques, both eastern and Western styles were blended, the Buddhist-style roofs of walled courtyards leaned outward through arches with small domes and minarets. The architectural style of Hui mosques varies from sect to sect. The Traditionalist Gedimuhanafi Sunnis, influenced by Chinese culture, build mosques that look like Chinese temples. Reformist modernists (but originally inspired by Wahhabism), the Ihwani built mosques that looked like The Arab style of the Middle East. So the question is that how many Mosque do U.S. have?
