And the Chinese Communist Party doesn't like to talk about it

As we've all been told, everything is harmonious in China.

And the content we're going to talk about in this video may be disturbing.

Which means, I can bet you YouTube will demonetize, and maybe age restrict this video.

That means YouTube is going to prevent people from seeing this, even though this is a really

important story and we're choosing not to show any gratuitous violence.

You can help us fight back against the censorship by sharing this video, and if you can, contributing

a dollar or more on the crowd funding website Patreon.That lets us stand up to YouTube's

demonetization, and we'll give you some cool perks as a way of saying thank you.

So, here we are in Guangxi province in southern China—

where in April, Xi Jinping did an inspection tour.

But the day after Xi Jinping's visit, there was a brutal knife stabbing in the same region

“The suspect's wife worked as a teacher in the kindergarten.

The two couples divorced because of a quarrel.

The man then climbed the fence and broke into the kindergarten and knifed people.

'Even his own son was hacked to death.'”

Now there's no evidence suggesting that this knifing was related to Xi Jinping's

But for the Chinese Communist Party, the timing was very inconvenient.

Social media platforms like Weibo quickly blocked users from discussing the incident.

But perhaps this knifing was just an isolated event.

At least that's how state-run media report on it every time it happens: as if it's

a very rare event with absolutely no larger context.

But unfortunately, knife attacks happen a lot in China.

Back in 2010, the Chinese government publicly promised to prevent these incidents—even

They've given the death penalty to a number of the perpetrators, and they've also tightened

But that clearly hasn't solved the problem.

In 2018 in Chongqing, a 39-year-old woman assaulted a group of kindergarteners with

In 2020, in Guanxi, a 50-year-old security guard attacked 39 students and teachers at

According to Ding Xueliang, a sociology professor in Hong Kong: 'The Chinese society has generated

enormous pressure on individuals and some of those individuals have perhaps had emotional

They want to cause general attention from the population and attacking kids perhaps

is the best way from their perspective of achieving this objective.'

Chinese society appears harmonious if you look at state run media reports.

But there's a huge amount of pent up anger.

And people aren't even allowed to talk about it!

There's no outlet.A video that circulated online this May shows a man in Nanjing running

The man later ran out of his car swinging a knife, and injured 7 nearby pedestrians.

In May this year, a woman brought a fruit knife into the Shanghai Business Center and

Earlier in June, a man in Anhui in Eastern China attacked people in the street with a

These acts of violence seem to be getting worse.

In May, a man drove a car through a red light on purpose—plowing right through dozens

“The suspect, a hairdresser surnamed Liu, had decided to take revenge against society

after losing money in a failed investment scheme.”

“The police said Liu had not been drinking or on drugs... nor did he have a history of

mental illness: He was clear-minded when he committed his crime.”

These “revenge against society” attacks are some of the darkest social issues facing

If you haven't heard about it, it may be that Chinese state-run media are too busy

Instead they spend their energy on more productive things, like criticizing America's gun violence.

You see, according to state-run media, China can offer lessons to the US in protecting

“The US should learn from China and genuinely protect human rights.

If the US does not control its guns, problems caused by firearms in the foreseeable future

Now, they're right—the US does have a problem with mass shootings.

But in China, no one is allowed to have guns.

And there are still essentially the same problems.

And yet, according to Chinese state media, rampant gun violence makes the U.S. a proven

Gun ownership and deaths are out of control in the US.

And how can the US police the world when it can't even protect its own people?

Surely if the US adopts China's model of authoritarian harmony, that will solve everything.

As long as you censor what gets reported.

And now to do what Chinese state-run media would never do: Answer a question from a supporter!

Oh, especially a Freedom Fighter: “I think the best way to handle the CCP is to boycott

Can you think of any other way to hurt the CCP?”

The way to hurt the CCP is to go after the money.

But it should be about more than just boycotting goods.

That's a great way you, as an individual, can help.

But what can have a larger impact is if Western governments—I'm looking at you, America

—stop their companies from investing in China.
