foreign [Music] the planet its destruction literally reaches new lows and goes to new
heights [Music] [Applause] welcome to China uncensored I'm Chris Chappell for years people
have been saying that the world needs to cooperate with China to combat climate change due to
its role as the largest emitter of greenhouse gases which is like saying we need to cooperate
with an arsonist to prevent forest fires maybe cooperate isn't the right word guys for example
U.S Special climate Envoy John Kerry says we need China and U.S Energy Secretary Jennifer
granholm says the U.S can learn from what China is doing on climate change the Chinese
Communist Party loves it when American Elites say things like that Chinese leader Xi Jinping
has claimed he will prioritize the environment protect nature and promote green lifestyles
for years people kept saying the Chinese Communist Party surely cares about combating climate
change because it's in their interests then again not lying about covet or letting it
spread across the globe should have been in their interest too so there's that in reality
the Chinese Communist party's rhetoric doesn't match up with their actions they've always
been prioritizing manufacturing and economic growth and when it comes to the environment
they don't care about places that aren't China heck the CCP doesn't care about places that
are China if you don't love yourself how can you ever learn to love someone else I've mentioned
in previous episodes how China continues to make air quality worse by pumping out even
more carbon emissions despite pledges not to and how China devastates the world with
its dams fishing fleets deforestation Rare Earth mining in places like Mongolia in the
Dr Congo and cheap knockoffs I ordered Chuck Taylors and they're polluting my feet with
tuck chalers if you want to learn more about these specific points I'll leave a link below
to an episode about that and yet those things are far from the only ways the Chinese Communist
party is destroying the planet here's a bunch more let's start with number five the loss
of biodiversity in just 40 years China has lost half of its land vertebraes some of the
biggest victims are of course the Muslim uyghurs as far as non-humans go amphibians and reptiles
are dying off fast that's partly due to excessive hunting for traditional medicines people in
China love to buy exotic animals for traditional medicine Prestige and investment oh yes because
nothing says Prestige like eating turtles this might be the one instance we're eating
at Taco Bell is actually the classier option this has encouraged large-scale illegal poaching
not just within China but all over the world for example in Mexico networks of Chinese
traffickers and Mexican middlemen are poaching the totoab of fish an endangered species off
the Baja Peninsula these get sent back to China and in the process another endangered
species called the vaquita porpoise gets trapped so they're wiping out one species for their
supposed benefit while at the same time wiping out another species for the Love of the Game
and people wonder why I think the CCP is cartoonishly evil they're literally Captain Planet villains
at this point other species around the world are also in danger because of China including
polar bears not only because of high demand for their fur but also because of China's
effect on the Arctic which brings me to number four China is making the Arctic more toxic
obviously increasing carbon emissions is playing a huge role in shrinking the ice caps but
the Arctic is getting more toxic too a recent study found that a majority of lead pollution
in Alaska and the Arctic can be traced back to China's industrial emissions Chinese coal
burning and non-ferrous metal smelting account for up to 64 percent of lead deposited in
Alaska's Denali National Park and in the Arctic and up to 73 percent in Greenland China also
wants to mine the Arctic if China has its way then things will get a lot worse for the
polar bears which will make everyone sad except seals I guess and then there's number three
China could wreck the deep sea China has its eyes on the deep sea the deep sea is a vibrant
ecosystem virtually Untouched by humans and it's full of Rich mineral deposits did someone
say Rich mineral deposits China wants in on that which is why it's leading the race to
exploit deep sea resources as part of the international seabed Authority a U.N body
base in Jamaica China has been using its influence to oppose bans on deep seabed mining has taken
more contracts than any other country to explore and exploit an area more than six times the
size of Taiwan because Taiwan is the official unit of measurement for everything China wants
to take over and exploit China's Deep Sea Gold Rush is set to cause an environmental
catastrophe but the deepsea isn't the final frontier that's going to get wrecked by China
just look to the sky and back on Earth because number two China is polluting the Earth with
rockets for decades China has been Reckless with its rocket launches from the middle of
the country instead of from their Shoreline you know how dangerous it is when rednecks
shoot off guns in the air because the bullets have to eventually come down well these red
Communists are essentially doing that with missiles not only is this destroying homes
and killing people but these crashes also leave behind toxic fumes that can get into
the water supply even schools aren't safe from rocket crashes and this isn't limited
to just mainland China other countries as far as Africa have to worry about China's
falling debris as well to make matters worse China doesn't even share specific trajectory
information to reduce risk of course sometimes debris doesn't crash down to earth it stays
in space which brings me to Number One China is creating space debris China space debris
poses a huge threat to other satellites orbiting the planet they've gotten so bored with polluting
the planet they're now polluting the sky that's even too far for Captain Planet villains there's
even a risk that China will purposefully create space debris with anti-satellite missiles
and the effects of those can last for years and make it harder for any country to get
into space without China's putting the Earth at even more risk I wouldn't trust the Communist
party with being good stewards of the Moon no matter how much we cooperate with them
because the Moon is the size of a million taiwans and now as a thank you to all my wonderful
fans who support China uncensored through the crowdfunding website patreon or the exclusive
social media platform locals I'll answer one of your questions this message comes from
Donald St George on patreon hey Chris have you seen wechat's latest terms of service
it pretty well states that they have the rights to all the information you post now and forever
is this even legal in North America well that's another thing China's polluting social media
it's not illegal for WeChat to keep your data Facebook keeps your data too and Facebook
is an American company WeChat is even worse not only does it collect what you post but
it can also track your location at any time access your contacts and even activate your
camera and microphone and WeChat will directly share all this data with the Chinese government
you know the government that locks up dissidents and kills them for their organs so my advice
is don't use WeChat ever WeChat is so dangerous I did an entire episode on it back in 2017.
the link is below thanks for your question Don and thank you to everyone eChina is destroying
the planet
Its destruction literally reaches new lows And goes to new heights
Welcome to China Uncensored, I’m Chris Chappell.
For years, people have been saying that the world needs to cooperate with China to combat
climate change, due to its role as the largest emitter of greenhouse gasses.
Which is like saying we need to cooperate with an arsonist to prevent forest fires.
Maybe “cooperate” isn’t the right word, guys.
For example, US Special Climate Envoy John Kerry says we *need* China.
And US Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said the US can learn from what China is doing
on climate change.
The Chinese Communist Party loves it when American elites say things like that.
Chinese leader Xi Jinping has claimed he will prioritize the environment, protect nature,
and promote green lifestyles.
For years, people kept saying the Communist Party surely cares about combating climate
change because it’s in their interests.
Then again, not lying about Covid or letting it spread across the globe should have been
in their interest too, so…
there’s that.
In reality, the Chinese Communist Party’s rhetoric doesn’t match their actions.
They’ve always been prioritizing manufacturing and economic growth.
And when it comes to the environment, they don’t care about places that aren’t China.
Heck, the CCP doesn’t care about places that *are* China.
And if you don’t love yourself, how are you ever going to learn to love someone else?
I’ve mentioned in previous episodes how China continues to make air quality worse
by pumping out even more carbon emissions despite pledges not to.
And how China devastates the world with its dams
Fishing fleets.
Deforestation
rare earth mining in places like Mongolia and the DR Congo,
And cheap knockoffs.
I ordered Chuck Taylors, and they’re polluting my feet with Tuck Chaylors.
If you want to learn more in detail about these specific points, I’ll leave a link
below to an episode about that.
And yet...those things are far from the only ways the Chinese Communist Party is destroying
the planet.
Here’s a bunch more.
Let’s start with
number 5: the loss of biodiversity.
In just 40 years, China has lost half of its land vertebrates.
Some of the biggest victims are, of course
the Muslim Uyghurs.
As far as non-humans go, amphibians and reptiles are dying off fast.
That’s partly due to excessive hunting for traditional medicines.
People in China love to buy exotic animals for traditional medicine, prestige and investment.
Ah yes.
Because nothing says “prestige” like eating turtles.
This might be the one instance where eating at Taco Bell is actually the classier option.
This has encouraged large-scale, illegal poaching—not just within China, but all over the world.
For example, in Mexico, networks of Chinese traffickers and Mexican middlemen are poaching
the totoaba fish, an endangered species off the Baja peninsula.
These get sent back to China
And in the process, another endangered species called the vaquita porpoise gets trapped.
So they’re wiping out one species for their supposed benefit, while at the same time wiping
out another species for… the love of the game?
And people wonder why I think the CCP is cartoonishly evil.
They’re literally Captain Planet villains at this point.
Other species around the world are also in danger because of China.
Including polar bears , not only because of high demand for their fur,
but also because of China’s effect on the Arctic.
Which brings me to..
Number 4: China is making the arctic more toxic
Obviously, increasing carbon emissions is playing a huge role in shrinking the ice caps.
But the Arctic is getting more toxic, too.
A recent study found that a majority of lead pollution in Alaska and the Arctic can be
traced back to China’s industrial emissions.
Chinese coal-burning and non-ferrous metal smelting account for up to 64 percent of lead
deposited in Alaska’s Denali National Park and in the Arctic.
And up to 73 percent in Greenland.
China also wants to mine the Arctic.
If China has its way, then things will get a lot worse for the polar bears.
Which will make everyone sad.
Except seals, I guess.
And then there’s
Number 3: China could wreck the deep sea
China has its eyes on the deep sea.
The deep sea is a vibrant ecosystem virtually untouched by humans, and it’s full of rich
mineral deposits.
Did someone say “rich mineral deposits?”
China wants in on that, which is why it’s leading the race to exploit deep sea resources.
As part of the International Seabed Authority , a UN body based in Jamaica, China has been
using its influence to oppose bans on deep seabed mining.
And it has taken more contracts than any other country to explore and exploit “an area
more than six times the size of Taiwan.”
Because Taiwan is the official unit of measurement for everything China wants to take over and
exploit.
China’s deep-sea gold rush is set to cause an environmental catastrophe.
But the deep sea isn’t the final frontier that’s going to get wrecked by China.
Just look to the sky…
and back on Earth.
Because
Number 2: China is polluting the earth with rockets
For decades, China has been reckless with its rocket launches from the middle of the
country, instead of from the shoreline.
You know how it’s dangerous when rednecksshoot guns off in the air, because the bullets have
to eventually come back down?
Well, these red communists are essentially doing that with missiles.
Not only is this destroying homes and killing people, but these crashes also leave behind
toxic fumes that can get into the water supply.
Even schools aren’t safe from rocket crashes.
And this isn’t limited to just mainland China.
Other countries as far as Africa have to worry about China’s falling debris as well.
To make matters worse, China doesn’t even share specific trajectory information to reduce
risk.
Of course, sometimes debris doesn’t crash down to earth; it stays in space.
Which brings me to
Number 1: China is creating space debris
China’s space debris poses a huge threat to other satellites orbiting the planet.
They’ve gotten so bored with polluting the planet, they’re now polluting in the sky.
That’s even too far for
Captain Planet villains.
There’s even a risk that China will purposefully create space debris with anti-satellite missiles.
And the effects of those can last for years—and make it harder for *any* country to go into
space.
With how China’s putting the Earth at even more risk, I wouldn’t trust China with being
good stewards of the moon.
No matter how much we “cooperate” with them.
Because the moon is the size of a million Taiwans.
And now, as a thank you to all my wonderful fans who support China Uncensored through
the crowdfunding website Patreon or the exclusive social media platform Locals, I’ll answer
one of your questions:
This message comes from Donald st George on Patreon: “Hey Chris, have you seen WeChat’s
latest terms of service?
It pretty well states they have the rights to all the information you post now and forever.
Is this even legal in North America?
Well, that’s another thing China is polluting: Social media.
It’s not illegal for WeChat to keep your data.
Facebook keeps your data, too, and Facebook is an American company.
But WeChat is even worse.
Not only does it collect what you post, but it also can track your location at any time,
access your contacts, and even activate your camera and microphone.
And WeChat will directly share all this data with the Chinese government—you know, the
government that locks up dissidents and kills them for their organs.
So my advice is: Don’t use WeChat.
Ever.
WeChat is so dangerous, I did an entire episode on that back in 2017.
