So, two and a half years ago, I was trapped by a YouTube channel named “China Insights”, I was so very confused. I was also trapped by another YouTube channel named “China Observer”. I didn’t even know that these channels were backed by the Cult. YouTube algorithm screwed me so tight.

Now, when I started defecting from the major Western mainstream media, I also started getting rid of two YouTube channels, and I had to get rid of BS David Zhang.

Shen Yun should have been thrown out of the stage.

    Any Youtube channel where half the videos are some variant of “China is collapsing” with Xi Jinping on the thumbnail can be safely assumed to be Falun Gong linked.

      not just pro-FLG, they’re run by members. I don’t like to say “they’re backed by the cult” without clear hard evidence, but I will say, many of these guys seem to share filming spaces/editing and other resources as New Tang Dynasty.

      Nathan Rich 火锅大王 has made a video that details a lot of the overlapping networks - I want to emphasize some of his graph is connections while other parts are “these media accounts appear to be splinter groups of FLG, created and run by FLG members”. This video is also four years old at this point, so info on new groups/channels/media orgs that were created since then wouldn’t be in there. IIRC the video is kind of long and some parts aren’t overtly about the cult, but Nathan made a chart that’s linked in the first comment.

      Some of them are non-political youtube channels like those friendly lookin dudes from “Chen dynasty” - particularly mike who’s more active on a channel called CheNews and Strictly Dumpling. A lot of other ones are cooking channels and I remember bumping across one that was a makeup and skincare channel.
