Chinese government cuts US Democratic debate feed during Xinjiang discussion

[F-22Raptor]

Hong Kong(CNN)The live feed of the sixth Democratic presidential debate was cut without warning in China Thursday night during a discussion on allegations of human rights abuses in the country's western region of Xinjiang.

The screen went black just before 9 p.m. ET after PBS moderator Judy Woodruff asked Mayor Pete Buttigieg if the US should boycott the 2022 Beijing Olympics over China's alleged mass detention of its Uyghur citizens.

The feed from the PBS/Politico debate in Los Angeles remained cut for about nine minutes while candidates were asked about a range of China issues, including the Hong Kong protests and military tensions in the South China Sea.


Censors regularly screen live broadcasts on international media networks in China, ready to cut any segment from the air if it is deemed politically sensitive by the ruling Communist Party.

Viewers know that what they are seeing has been censored because the screen goes black and all sound cuts out.


CNN stories on the Xinjiang detention centers and the protests in Hong Kong are regularly removed from the air by Chinese censors.

The US State Department claims that up to 2 million Muslim-majority Uyghurs may have been detained in mass detention centers in China's Xinjiang province. Former detainees and activists claim they have been subjected to hash conditions and abuse as they undergo political re-education inside the camps.

Leaked documents from the Chinese government appear to show a program designed to turn members of the Muslim minority into patriotic, Chinese-speaking citizens.

Beijing has strongly denied allegations of human rights abuses at the camps, which it says are "vocational training centers" with a focus on deradicalization and counterterrorism.

Multiple government officials have already claimed that all the "trainees" at the camps have graduated and returned to society, without providing any evidence.

lol I don't know whether to cry or laugh....maybe a bit of both.

Such averseness to reality can only be achieved in a communist dictatorship.

There are two things I want to add here. Firstly, I am very impressed by ability of the Chinese to control any form or type of media. Isn't it great that they can bitch-slap anyone they want including the US? Fantastic!

Secondly, who in China gives a F*k as to who Democrats are, who Republicans are, what is a freaking presidential debate, who are these Clowns in this debate, and what the F* does a US election has to do anything with Chinese people! As far as the Chinese are concerned, the Yanks can go a drown themselves in a toilet!!

Wait till the Aussies become a draconian dictatorship that would like you to pledge loyalty to the Australian Communist Party & would like you to disown Islam for "economic benefits" & spy on you through the use of your own relatives & anything with a digital heartbeat since "security above freedom".

Oh and they'll introduce the social credit system too so that if you pray Jummah too many times, your social score will fall down to zero & below and you won't be able to use public transport....and many other things.

Also be prepared to use a facial recognition system to put food on the table & if you say anything against the Aussie govt. be prepared to be sent to a reeducation camp.

You would like that, would you not?

Being a smart arse doesn't change the reality dude. Only an absolute brain dead Wan*ker would watch a Democratic or a Republican debate or would come to a public forum to "show support" for such absolute garbage meant for dumb-arses. Now what are you??

So you're calling the Chinese who watched that debate "absoule brain dead Wan*ker"???

Touche....are you Communist by any chance? Since I think you should move to China from Aussie Land. Your thought pattern aligns more with China than Australia...who I'm sure is pretty anti-China right now.

So, what will you do if the Aussies start spying on you (since you're a minority) & expel you for such pro-China views??

What has China ever done for you to show such support?? You think the Chinese even care about you??

You should be glad that the Aussies & the West in general are openly accepting to immigrants, whatever their other faults. Only Chinese can succeed in China whereas anyone can succeed here in the US or Aussie land.

Think about it for a sec.

Oh & every sane person watches debates, whether between a Republican/Democrat or any other politician. That's why the Chinese govt. is censoring it....to keep their masses woefully ignorant so that they can feed them with made up lies.

This is by far the best reply I have ever seen to pro CPC Muslims!!!

I just wanted to add that they would also be happy to have han Chinese New sleep in their beds, with their wives, while they are in the re-education camp.

This is actually happening and cpc Muslims are pretending it doesn't.

Yea dude, I would call anyone who watches such garbage. So what do you do ... do you get pop-corn and soda and watch these wanke.rs talk shi.t as if it is the best thing in on this Planet for humanity . Everyone is already spying on everyone ... get use to it dude.

Looks like you can't counter my points so you start talking off of tangents...as for the bolded part, there's a big difference between intelligence gathering and actionable intelligence or intelligence that is gathered solely so that it can be used against a civilian population.

Only a few countries, if not a single one, gathers intelligence solely to use it against its own citizens.

The bootlickers go to amazing lengths to show their loyalty to China lol.....defend China while living in the West....defend China while living in Pakistan....while China doesn't even know it's foreign defenders exist, much less care about them.

Either way, Pakistan needs to make sure we don't have any communist traitors in our midst that would be willing to sell off the country like many do in case of the US. Going to this matter, there have already been documented cases....recently, an article came out saying that all the illegal marriage traffickers were "pardoned" because some higher up in authority/department thought that it would damage the relationship with China...

It's a horrific reality that all must be aware of that there are still people in Pakistan, poor & rich, educated or otherwise, willing to sell our people for economic benefit, perceived or not.

Your points??? Or do you mean BS?? Yea I don't like to counter BS and garbage..... thanks very much, you can counter them yourself at your own time and place specially when you are watching democratic Clowns on your screen!

Sure, ISIS preaching their ideology shall also be free since all human beings are too smart to differentiate lies, true fact and pure hatre..... Why need to ban ISIS?

 

[grandmaster]

They, the Western, don't like Chinese, Chinese don't like them in return. Nothing is wrong with that. Only jealous guys cry out loud.

Wow so you use one hateful ideology to justify your hateful ideology of mass murder, genocide and forving Communist Chinese values on Uighurs?

It's the same, isn't those hateful lies about China being build out of thin air? See how some are selective in their stance to justify their own agenda and hate...

In first place, some claim censorship shouldn't in placed becos the real facts can overcome it while some can't answer me why fake hate ideology like ISIS shall be censor since you are a keen believer of fact can overcome truth?
