  • funny watching this clip in retrospect to whats happening in the US atm.

  • lovethe young turks

  • The shit that happens on your soil and the things your country does effects EVERYONE. That's why wars start asshole. You're a very stupid ignorant person. Stop talking.

  • such an Asian way? people do this around the world as well

  • and btw Cenk, China bans youtube, so yes not only this video, but the entire TYT account is not viewable in this country, which is sad, 'cause when I saw a video where Cenk slams Saudi Arabia, there were SO MANY hate comments by Saudi Arabians youtubers. Even that's not allowed in this potential super power.

    Think about it :/

  • @hirothemouse and yet, if you look at statistics you will see China being as dark green as the US and Canada it terms of views of this video

  • Oh China...

    I went to the EXPO and Shanghai and you gotta love how fun it is to go there. I really like China and what the country has to offer. That's why these things are so disappointing.

  • "such an asian way of doing it" what the fuck cenk?. your own goverment started the "free speech zones"!

  • 2:56 aannnndd the racism comes through. The Asian way of doing it? What's the Turkish way of doing? Commit a genocide in Armenia based on religion and race then say nahhh nobody got hurt and go on denying it until today?

  • Fucking christ I hate the Chinese government with a burning passion. I hope those miserable fucks are all burned alive by their own civilians in a massive civil war or something. This crap needs to stop, and everyone in charge needs to at the very least be thrown into prison for life on public display so children can throw rotten food at them.

  • @GeneralHoohah uh yeah I am Chinese my entire family lived their I've lived their for over ten years even with all these arrest I still greatly support the government and most Chinese still do and I'm talking about the Civilians. We believe in freedom but not complete freedom and in truth I wouldn't mind giving away some of my freedom. because at least they are keeping order and stability, crime is very low there. China is a dictatorship that we embrace and like. the protesters are traitors.

  • @Methyll You're so full of shit. China is one of the leading countries of illegal trade. So many weapons, animals, animal parts, stolen goods, etc are traded, moved, and sold there. Also people's pets are stolen by the thousands and sadistically tortured, skinned, and cut up for meat and fur while they're still alive. You need to learn about the country you live in, because you're obviously very ignorant to the evil that goes on there. You're either incredibly stupid or brainwashed.

  • @GeneralHoohah yeah I do know that. I've also seen people being thrown in police vans and never come back and I know of what government do to traitors, labor camps, executions you fucking name it. So don't tell me that I need learn more to about my own goddamn country, I'm not ignorant like some people in this world. And like Isaidalot of average Chinese do know what's going on and we still support it, heck even the military while mandatory was never enforced because people voluntarily sign up.

  • @GeneralHoohah so you said this "crap needs to stop," I am afraid to say that it won't, we are not like the Soviet Union where the people got tired of the government. The vast majority of the people still supporting the government here we won't throw rotten food at the government we will take arms for it! Also the crime rate I am talking about the every day kinds which are really low. And I known about the Illegal weapons trade stories and I don't care it isn't going to effect my daily life.

  • @Methyll That's one of the most selfish things I've ever seen/heard anyone say in my life. You're just human garbage. That shit effects OTHER people's lives, and as a citizen of your country its YOUR problem... and if you don't do something about it, it becomes OUR problem. This kind of corrupt ignorant selfish mind frame is probably why China isn't changing, and its not just effecting them.

    Anyone else think this person is human garbage?

  • @GeneralHoohah Our shit will not be your problem if don't interfere with it. you just mind the economic relation of China. Besides all your country need from us is trade and what not.

  • @Methyll WTF? does methyll stand for smoking METH? are you high? how can you support the brutal dictatorship of the CCP? they kill innocent people by the thousands;

  • @bbphnix uh no It just a name for a character I created in my story it is just coincident that it sounds like METH. And also yeah I happen to be from mainland China, and I can tell you this the majority of Chinese as far as they're concern does not care that our government kills People by the thousands. As long as the government can support us, bring food and work that we will support it gladly. As long as the government can support the people than the we will always side with the government

  • @Methyll you don't care that it kills thousands of people? are you insane?

    it's so corrupt people are being bullied out of their houses so they can be demolished to make room for real estate so officials can get rich;

    the falun gong and tibetans are undergoing ethnic cleansing

    mongolians in inner mongolia are having their land taking away from them

    the lack of human welfare is bad that in some cities pollution is ten times higher than aceptable by international standards

  • @Methyll and this is just what I can think of now..... there are political prisoners, activists and journalists jailed....

    what kind of chinese are you? blind and deaf?

    watch NTDTV if you don't beleive me; youtube-search it

  • @bbphnix Dude your talking to a person who used to live in China for ten years so yeah I've seen most of these things up close. I'll say it again as long as the government can provide us with enough food and jobs to live an acceptable live, then we will support what ever the government does.

  • @Methyll WHAT EVER the gov does?

    wow, you're a very cruel person; well, realistically, you're probably just ignorant or stupid, but that really did sound cruel;

    there are ways of providing food and jobs without killing innocent people, and your dear gov also gives you polluted and cancer; enjoy that!

  • @bbphnix I'm not ignorant or stupid I've gone abroad to study and I've read a lot of different countries histories and ideals and unlike the Western countries we are not interested in changes and we don't want them as long as the current system works for us than were not interested in change. as for the pollution well that's just temporary because of rapid industrialization. The government is already cracking down on and ordering for cleaner fuel alternatives.

  • @bbphnix Another thing the stereotype of the majority of Mainland Chinese being greedy is quite true as long as it benefit us we couldn't care what happens with others. The one sided economic relation we have with the US and other nations is an example. And in general a lot of Chinese directly from the mainland never liked the new liberal ideals of the western world, as it clashes too much to our traditional beliefs.

  • @Methyll the CCP is going down sooner or later! and will crash and burn!

    new liberal ideals? like what? protecting the environment? respecting basic human rights? that is not, or should not, be liberal ideals or liberal culture or whatever, it should be global LAW because they are objectively true

    and you support economic development with no restraints, no regulation, no long-term strategy?

    well, than, FUCK YOU, cuz Earth will never be Coruscant!

  • @bbphnix even if the CCP is endanger of breaking at some point in the future, do you really believe that other countries will allow that? The US will never allow the CCP to collapse because of such close ties of economies, our collapse would only endanger the global market. not to mention if the CCP splinters you will see a complete destabilization of mainland Asia and that's some thing no one wants not even the US, hell Obama say Tibet is part of China.

  • @Methyll I think you are confusing CCP with China; I am referring strictly to the comunist party I have no issues with chinese people in general;

    back in the day when communism came to China, it had to fight the Kuomintang, Chang Kai Shek's party; they refuged in Taiwan;

    my solution is simple: Taiwan should control all of China

    there would be no instability in China and never said anything about the country itself spitting up, that's a different discussion altogether

  • @bbphnix I think your the one misunderstanding, one currently Taiwan has no interest in running China. In addition a lot people on the mainland will not support it to begin with. secondly Chinese are extremely dependent to the CCP it is not like Russia where certain parts of the Soviet Union oppose the regime and can work with out it. if it collapse you will a literal collapse of china new countries will appear and wars will be fought I guarantee it. I will tell you more later gotta go to class

  • Comment removed

  • You know what I think is scary? Depending on which side you take in the US, you may not get arrested like in China, but it can wind up as social suicide, which has a pretty big impact imo.

    I'm actually in China right now, in Shanghai, with the EXPO taking place. I think they've got a lot of work to do in MANY aspects, but it's just sad 'cause in terms of politics they can do 1000 times better, keeping in mind their economical rise and intl' significance.

  • There's no point in protesting anyways. They just cause a ruckus and has there ever been a successful protest? If so, please tell me.

  • this host guy, what makes u know more... talking about freedom, think about the outcome. yes and i like how you being sarcastic about how good china is developing in economically and stuff. to the bottom line, have u ever question yourself, does US have it's own problems?

  • Dodowoo never heard of what happened in 1989? Those were not British or French protesters. They were Chinese students and Chinese farmers.

    And you talk about wars like they were in 2006 or something. It happened 100 years ago! Wanna talk about NOW, or 100 years ago?

  • What have I said wrong? If you guys are from turkey, or any other countries besides the west, u should know your own history. I've been in turkey... It's great great country.. Vibarant, life, and very very cool place.. And yet, people i europe thinks bad of it.. They support the kurds, and why do u think they do that? Only for support? or for keeping a bleeding wounds to turkey?

  • stupid!

  • do you like protests? i hate protests, i think they're full of shit.

  • What the fuck is up with these people?

    Why the fuck should China, or any other country, allow non-residents from overseas to come and protest in the streets? You go to another country, you shut the fuck up and obey the rules.

  • You clearly haven't watch the video properly. They are talking how ppl living there is getting arrested becuz they try to protest that their house is being torn down by the gov. -_-'' When talking about the Chinese gov, i dont get why so many Chinese are just ranting becuz of emotions instead of logic.

  • It's bad enough to hear biased western media fueling the hate towards the chinese. And trust me, it hurts only the chinese, not the goverments. But it's even worse to see people from India, Turkey, and other countries, who have had their abuses from the west, joining the west, and talk shit about chinese. U really think that would make u a better person in front of whites? Shame on u! Don't u get it? one day, when your country and people gets stronger, they'll use the same tactic on U!

  • And they build up an infrastructure. They kept peace in an huge area and among 1,2 billion people. Just ask you self this, Where would u live? China, India, afganistan, Pakistan? U really think people in the west care about humanrights of chinese?? And talking about the freedom side, what about the kurds in the greatness of Turkey?

  • Remember this. this cruel goverment manage to pull more people out of poverty, gave them basic education and healthcare. They manage to bring a nation up on it's feet. China is not perfect. But i kinda feel they have done more for their people than most contries in the world for the last 20 years.

  • @xql22 you sir are wrong the chinese gov. has killed more of its people then the terrorist in iraq and afghanistan get your story straight china is the next nazi germany and i have a good feeling that america or another U.N nation will be dropping a nuclear bomb on them sooner or later

  • @LacedShit Do you even know any chinese? Yeah.. u r right, you guys are much better killing other countries citizens. You're openly talking about dropping the nuclearbomb. very very much american...

  • no i dont since if they got talkin me over the internet about how shitty there gov is they would be killed haha do you even take anything like that into consitoration when makin ur point? and ur from denmark what do you care your a panzy country that relys on the west to protect u from big bad china and russia

  • @LacedShit what can I say.. laced shit.

  • nice one you should get back to clogging or something let the non pussy countrys worry about the world

  • free tibet,boycott slavery,boycott totalitarianism,boycott china

  • gotta love the boobies.

  • uygur is the chinese western region

  • Stupid turks. I hate turks. They are shitting my country with nasty doners

  • LOL

  • Regardless of the Political issues the Olympics were great.

  • The UK government have already said they will ban any protests during 2012 london olympics. You will be arrested even if you put anti olympic poster up in your windows of your home. AND YOU THINK YOU LIVE IN A DEMOCRACY?!

  • what do ppl need to protest about?

    see, this is the problem with the rest of the world. we allow ppl to protest over stupid things just so that the government can pass a stupid law just to shut everyone up. listening to false stats and references to make a point that really isn't your business to begin with. you think tibet is really in trouble? think again.

  • what is the protest is for something More important? Such as Human rights?

  • protest about human rights in Tibet? RETARD? your would protest too if you were getting abused.

  • yeah i would, but the protesters are NOT getting abused. they are just a whole bunch of college kids listening to the wrong ppl, eg, the US government? how about GOING to the place and knowing the whole story first before complaining or, better yet, help the minorities down there live a better life?

  • wow i didnt knew turks supported free tibet , yipeeeeeeeeeeeeee , we won muslim brothers and sisters as wellllllllllllllllllllllllllll­lllllllllllll

    free tibetttttttttttttttttttttttttt­tttttttt

  • lol labour camp/? wtf.... they got rid of it long long time ago...

  • whats the point of protesting bro? huh? LOL we protests against the war, the war stoped?

    there is no point of protesting!

    btw: you should lose some weight fatty xD

  • @fattyusa the point of protests are to let people know that you don't agree with what is going on. This lets the rest of the world know what's going on and that their are people that don't agree with it. Don't be a fucking idiot.

  • @fattyusa Actually, we were winning in Vietnam, but we pulled out of the war and lost because it was no longer a popular war, and the American people were tired of it. So protests did work. Not sure how effective they are today though..

  • i'm not saying "hey we're part of the free world". I'm saying, HEY I'M CHINESE FUCK U FREE WORLD.

  • Why don't you ask the kids at Tiananmen Square

  • Its true that China can be a bit harsh... But I really think people are being dicks by blaming China about tibet then after the olympics over they blamed China for not helping with the Economic Crisis. Just stupid.

  • so is this banned in china

    and can chinas travel around euriope and hear wat the world says about them

    especially from chinese living overseas

  • Chinese traveling to foreign countries many need a visa, unlike US which dont need visa to visit many other countries. They also have very hard time getting visa, as they need to prove a lot of their financial stability before being granted a visa.

  • mrtrkdlite: What the world says about them or what the west says about them or what you say about them ??

  • your goverment is bitch 2

  • hah, I knew as soon as Cenk said they had to sign up for a permit that only an idiot would do it would have the chines feds knocking on their door once spotlight left china. Damn sick government.

  • Are you really banned in china by putting this up?

  • the chinese government eventually released the two old ladies and exempted their penalty. however, the western media never reported that. they only focus on the negative image in china by their china-bashing style.

  • THIS FATass doesnt know what he is talking about. Chinese love China. thats all that matters. the whiteman has caused more suffering than anyone else in history.

  • He is a turk ask him about the armenian genocide then see what his excuses are. SCUM

  • I'm sorry buddy but, its our country you want to critisize our people, the way we run our country and our so called lack of freedom, and yet your own country has a history longer than any other for being a Nation soley responsible for the suffering of not thousands but millions. You want to tell us that our government keeps our people under durress when your economic prosperity is based predominately on the lack of wealth of other nations. Our methods may be different to yours..

  • Um...do you have any PROOFS??...that China baned the protests? No, you only read about this on the newspaper. In fact, when I was in Beijing, I saw protests, and they were all yankees(duh~who can be more ignorant?)...American newspapers need to STOP vilifying China. FUCK usa.

  • Why do you live in the USA if you hate it so much?

  • To squash america, sucker.

  • Ha Ha! very good!, run along now and have some cookies, there's a good little girl!

  • hehe  he has a stupid face.

  • lol an American turkish guy said that chinese doesnt have freedom in China... i bet that guy never put his feet in China before.

  • fuck you,arrogant yankees

  • LOL~Those protestors are protesting biased American Media...

  • wow```

  • rubbish

  • This is so true in China and all those commies governments.

  • it's only true in your dreams.

  • Afraid to face the truth, then just keep wanking.

  • Chino:Damn I hate canadians, they are idiots, I am Chinese, I've never raped a girl, I have never sexually abused any one. I never violate any fucking human rights. So please do not generalise chinese people. Some of them are assholes. but I think you are no better than them.

  • Is the guy a mental patien?

    The emotion and express are so fake.

    nah...give a 0

  • free tibet!

  • free your mum's T-back

  • The Young Turks say over and over again that they are not a venue for true journalism, they are an opinion talk show.

    Also, I was disgusted over and over again with the whole thought of China hosting the Olympic games and for several reasons, this being one.

  • "Absolute Dictatorship"? Dude, you need to learn more about Chinese history, politics and culture.

    You keep using loaded words to portray China, what a disgrace. This is journalism?

  • plz don't kibitz

  • Though yes, it's well know there is lots of corruption in terms of land development in China, I would like to know the original source saying the two women were ordered to go to labor camp (or "reeducation through labour"). I hope it's not Epoch Times. It could be the same as other sentences where people are forced to do community service like in Hong Kong. As for the corruption, I don't think anyone's figured a way to fix it.

  • First he doesn't have friends in China.

    And why don't you show one photo af such a workcamp.

  • This ugly fool wich always laughs with himself is probably the most stupid guy on Youtube.

  • China was awesome and strong before they were communist

  • plz learn history

  • hey wanna some shit?

  • AND...what does he mean that "it is such a ASIAN way to do this"...China does not represent the whole Asia continent...RACIST!!!

  • I'm happy that a lot of the protestors are detained...cause Pro-tibet is just bunch of stupid no life hippies who think they know it all...they should just enjoy the game and maybe read couple books first then protest.

  • She's says she couldn't believe it. It's shocking and yet u see a smirk on her face. She enjoys finding out that info about China.

  • Cenk should shut the fuck up. He is not even getting the facts straight. Two old women are not going to labor camp.

  • I thought they were sentnced to "reeducation through labour" no?

  • who knows...the guy on the video "thinks" he knows what he's talking about...but he's just repeating some of the shit that's being reported on TV.

    P.S. NO BODY is send to the LABOR camp...OMG...does anybody check the sources and the credibility being reported here???

  • That's terrible!

  • I'm a little biased, only because I believe protestors are annoying and ruin my experience of life.

    Love & Blessings:)

    PS. If they found a way to enjoy life or be more productive, maybe they wouldn't have time to protest:)

  • I bet the Neocon cockroaches watched what China just did and thought "hey what a great idea! we got to try that over in America."

  • screw freedom...you need "security" at all costs. Look at America assholes...like we aren't doing the same thing? We are attacking every country and listening to everyone out there that goes against us.

  • oh and the whole protest zone thing across town? Totally ripped the US off. We are doing the same thing at the conventions. Probably going to arrest them all too.

  • they so lied to the Olympic committee about how they were going to be all free and enlightened in order to get the Olympics. Then once it was too late to change plans they were like, promises, what promises, fuck y'all we're China, whatayagonna do 'boutit?

    America couldn't say anything, they own all our debt. Did you see the look on the Olympic committee rep sitting next to the Chinese leader at the opening ceremonies? Didn't smile once. China screwed us and they are screwing their people

  • Wow! Cant stand another countries progress? Don't things get banned in the US? Executions? Invasion and occupation of another country??

  • Ummm, we want to be happy for China. In fact, the United States plays a role in the economic boon it's having. But China needs to learn that it can maintain order without acting like a 3d world dictatorship. And the U.S. needs to be REMINDED of the very same thing.

  • Wow!I find here a typical Yankee! hypocritical smile and ingorant arrogance..boo!

  • I wanted to see what I said wrong, but then I saw what you said to Laura185.Tsk. Arrogant people can speak the truth too. China and the U.S are economically linked (at least for now. China will graduate from us soon enough.) China would benefit greatly by loosening up. America needs to change its path & stop tightening up. So uh yah...sometimes

  • Tracy: alright,it is a bit agressive,but do not take it seriously, youtube is a place where people could release their pressure... Well, some truth helps, some hurts. China and the world are linked,not just with US. btw,China had never been enrolled. America will never change. If you've seen how hard those people works in the Nike shoes factory, you should those profits are way little for them. It's time for China to ask for more.

  • America should learn from the Chinese: Instead of putting people in jail, the US goverment should make them work; like build the Great Wall of America or something.

  • very smart idea, but it's not really our style. But americans do waste those people by letting them fucking each others' shitholes in the prison

  • I will say most Chinese don't know what is human right. But they are happy with the improving living standard year by year. They won't be anti-govment since their live is being improved. most importantly, they will be angry if any thing like american want to free their land from them called tibet. it's like if i am going to free 25% of USA from you. No one cares about the human right or any "reason". Because it's their baby, you just cannot take it away.

  • I would say that most of you Americans think you have human rights, but are delusional. At least the Chinese know how corrupt their government officials are.

  • I don't care too much about the corrupt it might not be more than the USA cost for their votes. and they might be killed if a strong evidence.

  • human rights are of fundemental importance. however, to play devil's advocate: if just ten percent of chinese people were involved in an anti-government movement, they would number over 130 million strong. that would be a huge problem for the regime. with so many souls, perhaps it befits the government to be so ruthless.

  • did everyone hear ana's reaction, it sounded like a rusty see-saw

  • You should have mentioned the Chinese government organ harvesting.

  • Organ harvesting? Thats capitalism baby!

  • WHAT! 1:44 she keeps doing that:-)

  • Who Cares. We have our own problems here in America. Let's stop pointing at China's dirty laundry and clean our own.

  • Bad report, generalizing asian with a chinese incident.

    Not to mention all the facts they got were straight from cnn or fox news. U can proof check these events. In other words u have no idea what the activist might have done in addictions to causes these arrest. With the olympic and all, i dont believe the chinese would arrest anyone unless the activist gets out of control.

  • yea because they have such a great civil rights record.

  • it depends how u define human rights, If by human rights u mean speech, assembly, and press. Then no.

    BUT, if by human right as in the right to : be feed 3 times a day, have a decent job, have health care, save up money to buy a home/car, sent kids to collegue. Then china has make great leeps in improving human rights.

    A classical comparison is India and China. Would u as a 3rd person like to live in India with lots of moral rights, or live in China with lots of living standard rights.

  • The point is that China has those basic rights (speech, assembly, religion, and press) enshrined in their constitution. Demanding those rights is well within the rights of the avg Chinese citizen.

  • agree with you

  • I would say it was clever except it was done twice before, once around the time of the cultural revolution and the other time in the late eighties. They start saying things like "we'd like to see essays on how to improve the government etc." or "please share your views and let a hundred flowers bloom" and then BAM! Your arse is in a gulag.

  • You guys don't even know just how cruel they really can be. My dad, grew up under this system before he escaped. This is nothing compared to the shit they used to do. You don't even want to hear about it. it makes the great depression in the U.S. feel like Vegas vacation paid for in full.

  • "it's such an asian way to do it" hmm so you're attacking all asian people. just one of the many things in this video that shows your lack of intelligence.

  • Cenk - Since when did the olympics finish? I'm watching it right now.

  • Can anyone tell me what, if anything, about China is "communist". It is a tyrnnical fascist state with a self-serving eleite who allow a very few people to dominate industry and get Motherf'ing rich. It's a disgrace. Whoever is responsbile for awrding these clowns teh Olympics should be forced ino a re-education through labour camp for a year.

  • Bush.......

  • David Rockefeller thinks this is the greatest system ever.

  • I am thankful for my freedoms!! God bless America!!

  • Until someone says you're a terrorist of course...

  • And we think republicans are bad.....

  • They'd be doing the same to us conspiracy theorist, elitist, left wing, socialist, anti-American, liberal traitors if they could.

  • that's sad.

  • One day china will change as USSR changed. I guess it will takes another 10-15 years.

  • yup. so will the USA, god willing.

  • To be honest I don't think USA change too much! It seems people are satisfy by their country. You can see clearly that from WWII to iraq nothing has changed at all.

  • "It's such an Asian way to do it..."

    Thanks for perpetuating racism there Cenk...you just characterized an entire race

  • Yeah, I don't know what the hell that means. He was born in Asia, though. Maybe having an East Asian wife he feels like he has carte blanche to say stuff like that.

  • That's not racist, you idiot.

    Is it rascist to says "that's so Western"? Of cooourse not!

  • ... Asian as in the governments on the CONTINENT. :S

  • China isnt communist but its an authoritarian centralized dictatorship that still has some communist retoric in its game book.

  • i.e. an imperial federation

  • china is not communist

  • true they are maoists
