That and more on this week's China news headlines

Welcome to China Uncensored, I'm Chris Chappell.

And these are this week's China news headlines

The Chinese Communist Party has prided itself on how it's transformed China into a land

The problem is all those skyscrapers are made in China.

This video shows people in Shenzhen fleeing in panic as a skyscraper, almost 1000 feet

tall, starts wobbling and swaying, even though there was no earthquake or bad weather.

People inside the building were evacuated, and an investigation is ongoing into—why

a giant skyscraper just randomly started wobbling.

But experts “found no safety abnormalities in the main structure and surrounding environment

Other than the fact the building wobbles!

These have been a bad couple of weeks for the public image of Chinese construction.

Last week, a man was left dangling from one of China's infamous glass bridges, after

There's a big problem in China of construction corruption.

Officials or contractors often siphon money from construction, during each phase of the

So the end result can be dangerously unstable buildings.

It's such a common problem, Chinese people have a name for it—Tofu Dreg Construction.

Because it's like the buildings are made of the scraps left behind from making tofu.

So in a way, it's appropriate that a Titanic replica is now under construction in China.

If that falls apart, it's just being historically accurate.

Speaking of things collapsing—the price of Bitcoin.

We partly have a Chinese government crackdown to thank.

Chinese authorities said the crypto market was too volatile so restricted trading, which

caused a volatile drop in the price of crypto, including BitCoin.

But if you've lost a bunch of money, don't worry, China is helping out.

With over half a million dollars in counterfeit currency.

This is one of the tactics of the Chinese Communist Party's economic warfare against

China is flooding the US with fake goods.

In 2019, Customs and Border Patrol made almost 28,000 seizures.

Those goods would have been worth $1.5 billion dollars if they were genuine.

And almost half of those fake goods came from China.

So considering the economic warfare China is waging against the US, you'll probably

be wanting to invest in Chinese stocks with ties to the Chinese military.

Well fear not, a Trump era ban on doing just that has been postponed!

A former American university professor has been sentenced to 37 months in prison for

He was trying to get millions of dollars in federal grant money to do research in China.

As part of his sentence, he was also “ordered to pay more than $3.4 million in restitution

to the National Institute of Health and approximately $413,000 to The Ohio State University.”

If he's having a hard time raising the money, maybe he could invest in Dogecoin?

And after the break, the US may be falling behind China on science.

Some fear the US is falling behind China in the sciences.

So the Senate is considering a $120 billion dollar investment to counter China.

It is led by Democratic Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer and Republican Senator Todd

You see, the US kind of realized the problem of having China dominate things like the medical

equipment supply chain when the coronavirus hit.

China is rapidly expanding its nuclear weapons arsenal.

That's a concern for the US and Russia—who have a regular nuclear dialogue to make sure

However, China doesn't seem to be willing to join these nuclear arms talks.

According to U.S. disarmament Ambassador Robert Wood “Despite the PRC's dramatic build-up

of its nuclear arsenal, unfortunately it continues to resist discussing nuclear risk reduction

But as world-ending catastrophes go, China is willing to work with the US on climate

Working to fight climate change can actually be good for business.

Especially the business of ethnic slave labor.

A new report this week found China is using Uyghur forced labor to make parts for solar

And China makes about 70% of the world's solar panels.

The Chinese Communist Party has been in propaganda overdrive to cover up their genocide of the

I talked about that in a previous episode.

One of the Party's propaganda tools is releasing videos from Uyghurs.

“Chinese state media have published dozens of the videos praising the Communist Party

and showing Uyghurs angrily denouncing former U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo for declaring

a genocide in the far west Xinjiang region.”

The Party has been claiming that people made these videos totally spontaneously and out

Because they're just so, so angry at Mike Pompeo.

But in a very shocking twist, it turns out the Chinese regime ordered Uyghurs to make

The Associated Press obtained a screenshot of a text message sent to government officials

in Xinjiang, telling them to find Uyghurs to make these videos.

And the text even spelled out what these Uyghurs should say in their totally spontaneous videos:

“Express a clear position on Pompeo's remarks, for example: I firmly oppose Pompeo's

anti-Chinese remarks, and I am very angry about them...Express your feelings of loving

the party, the country and Xinjiang (I am Chinese, I love my motherland, I am happy

You know, after years of bending Hollywood to its will, you'd think the Communist Party

Unfortunately, the man who leaked this government text to the AP has now been detained for “instigating
