Is Xi Jinping’s China on a path to war? Mehdi Hasan & Victor Gao | Head to Head
Over the past few decades, China has solidified its status as an economic superpower. But the country’s economic boom coupled with its increased military might has increased tensions in the region, including with Taiwan, where fears are mounting over a possible Chinese invasion.
Meanwhile, at home, China’s human rights record remains under…

Victor, he explains every lie with a straight face. 😂😂😂
My mom supported a Uyghur girl from elementary school through her second year of college. She witnessed the changes in Xinjiang firsthand. Initially, the girl’s father was unemployed and solely focused on practicing religion. One day, the girl’s mother convinced him to attend a 'camp' to learn professional skills. After completing the program, he found a job, and their financial situation improved significantly. My mom eventually stopped supporting the girl when she learned that the family could now afford an iPhone.
So much orientalism it's genuinely embarrassing
Mehdi Hasan, you keep interrupting him and that's rude of you. Let it be known that democracy has not worked in many countries of the world. Even in the United States, many citizens don't trust the system.
Best interview I’ve seen with a Chinese spokesperson. Well done, Mehdi. You didn’t let him get away.
Victor Gao has no worries about people disappearing in an unjust system without any rights. He should consider that the same could happen to him after this interview and his replacement would have no worries either.
I wish Gao would've mentioned that Rayhan Asat was literally a employee at Guantanamo Bay ugh.
Mehdi was brilliant here
In fact, the Han people are the least powerful ethnic group in China and are treated differently by various policies.
Chinese leader is the MODERN Nebuchadnezzar!!!
And what did this 47 minutes of conversing accomplish? (Nothing we didn't already know)
Yeah, yeah, freedom to insult thats all Western freedom of speech is about. They want to export stupid culture to every place, country and locality. If the country does not accept it then its painted as lack of freedom of speech.
This is the most annoying interviewer of all time
Fckng can't hear one complete sentence
The Atlantic Council is literally NATO and CIA.
05:26 True words spoken.
There is only one China, Taiwan is part of China, and the People's Republic of China is the sole legitimate government for the totality of China.
Victor Gao
Tibet is not part of China, shame on China and its regimen on people!
Bho Gyalo!
LONG LIVE THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF CHINA 🇨🇳
Victor tried so hard to dodge the question, Mehdi is not letting it happen
"why are you persistent in ruling places that dont want to be rules by you" asks the British 🤣🤣🤣 oh comeon pot calling the full stop punctuation black..
Victor Gao: "You are free to criticize Xi!"
audience member: "okay show me."
Victor Gao: Entire brain starts to shut down
Watching The CCP f*ck up when they try to pull the wool over people's eyes, and then get humiliated in front of people with brains and EVEN a scholar who fully supports them, and then proceed to try and send their wumao into the comments only for them to get out commented by the REAL youtube viewers… that puts a warm feeling in my heart XD. I'm gonna be rewatching this interview just to watch Victor Gao slowly realize he's about to fired and probably dragged off to wherever his "Friend" is for quite some time lmao.
I support China 1 billion percent 👌👌👍👍✊✊🇨🇳🇨🇳
Victor Gao: "Give me the Evidence."
Mehdi Hasan: proceeds to give evidence
Victor Gao: proceeds to panic
What a disaster for China.
抛弃政治，请保持尊重
To be fair, they should listen to some Uyghur and Tibet people’s voice, at least at this moment they’re majority of their ethics but not the people lived abroad. And another thing they have to do is to stick to the “facts”, if people don’t have consensus on what they believe, it will be a disaster to have discussions like this.
Terrible host, rude as well as prosecutorial in manner.
Mehdi's loaded questions and prejudices are obvious. Victor Gao should have rephrased the loaded questions before answering him.
Mehdi seems hostile because the PRC doesn't allow the same unbridled individual freedom as in the West.
He is trying to push his idea of the Western electoral model as the better political system for the Chinese.
Surprised Al Jazeera supports such standard of interview.
The Uyghur, Tibetan and HK "refugees" picked to speak among the audience obviously are not the type that would or could accept the PRC political system. So don't expect any objective comments.
To get a balance perspective, Mehdi should go to these regions in PRC and ask those who remain behind in Xinjiang, Tibet and HK if they share the same angst as these refugees among his audience or guests.
Why don’t Muslim countries condemn China 🇨🇳 for oppression of Uyghur Muslim in China 🇨🇳. China committed horrendous crimes against Uyghur minorities. Communist doesn’t respect religious freedom, China must deal with force , Taiwan and Tibet is not part of China 🇨🇳
China is a bully, stealing territory in Philippines and India. China leaders has no morals and to greedy! 😂
I'm trying to finish this interview but they interviewer is a total clown, unwatchable
This guy is so rude to interrupt so frequently
Why can't we hold Israel to account just like we can with China?
For peace????? Your neighbors are not stupid… can you defind peace????
I don't know where you got the data on the so-called concentration camps in Xinjiang, but I have never seen them in Xinjiang, and the Chinese government has not banned anyone from entering Xinjiang. If you really want to know Xinjiang, please go to Xinjiang to have a look
Being overly aggressive only speaks bad of the interviewer, he needs better guidance
Mr. Gao does have a gut to show up in this interview.
One China policy is literally fascism.
Ray must watch this
Get your dirty grease hands off Taiwan, China. Taiwan is not a part of China. Taiwan was a part of the Netherlands, Spain, Japan, and Chin Dynasty. But Never be a part of greedy Peoples Republic of China before in history. Spain, Netherlands, Japan and Chin Dynasty who ever ruled Taiwan never said that Taiwan is a part of it. Only Greedy PRC did. PRC should be a part of Mongolia.
Victor 👌🏽🔥
真的的黑暗你们是无法想象的，我有很多话想说，我在这里留言都不敢说话，我们的生命都不如一只蚂蚁。
Bring those CIA paid refugee words as " envidence' is a JOKE, both Titeten and Uyhgurs are same
Could the host please stop interrupting?
Delete this video, NOW!!! China don't own Qatar anything, we don't deserve to be roasted like this.
What an interview! One of the best I wish the interviewer have also ask about the west Philippines sea and China's stupid dash lines.
in China there is one person on the ballot paper, how many are there in the US? 2? 3? …. not much of a democracy is it? US is obviously a little better in terms of free speech and allowing a capitalist model and all the rest but still the rulers at the top are the deep state, military industry, and other big corps and global multinationals…
Good points from Mehdi but sometimes you have to let people finish their thought. You can’t just constantly interrupt because you feel like you’re right. Let him finish his point he is making and then respond. Just a thought from my observation.
What about the black slavery? What about Africans? What about arab countries? Look at what the white people doing in our world. And you're pointing your fingers on china.
😂 well no matter what you say American government is more worst than china. How many countries did America invaded destroys those counties. Please open your eyes then how about Euro?? Please
With China's several thousand year long filosofical culture, seems to be over-shadowed by this CCP party, lying and stubborness, and not less delutional than Putin him self. Totally isolated population, and how they abuse AI to do total surveilance and control of the population. Such regimes are just doomed to fail sooner or later. The question is how much damage a such regime like CCP could oppose on the population and their culture, and to other countries around the world with this belt and road initiative.
