Chinese stocks are falling after 
Donald Trump wins the US elections.

Vietnam is ramping up artificial 
island building in the South China Sea.

And a Philippine military drill

focuses on liberated occupied islands

in plain view of the Chinese military!

That and more on this week’s 
China news headlines.

Welcome to China Uncensored, I’m Chris Chappell.

You probably know that companies are 
collecting your personal data.

But you may not realize just how many.

Dozens, maybe 
hundreds—

most of which you’ve never heard of

And you have no idea what they’re 
doing with it.

Incogni helps stop them.

I’ll explain more at the end.

Donald Trump will be the next 
President of the United States.

So what does the Chinese 
Communist Party think about this?

Eh, it doesn’t care.

At least, that’s the official story.

The official response to the 
election results were formulaic.

Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Mao 
Ning said “

our policy towards the US is consistent

…we will continue to view and 
handle China-US relations

in accordance with the principles of mutual respect

peaceful 
co-existence and win-win cooperation.”

Which makes sense.

I mean, what else 
are they going to say?

That they wish he lost and that he’s a horrible, 
terrible meanie?

They’re not MSNBC .

Besides, that would probably end about as 
well as it ultimately did for the Democrats.

But unofficially, some are 
telling a different story.

One philosophy professor at the 
National Taiwan University said

that everyone he was speaking with 
was talking about the election.

He told Fox News Digital that Trump’s victory

is “a worst-case scenario” for Beijing.

Relations between Washington

and 
the CCP are already strained,

and Trump has vowed to impose 
heavier tariffs on China.

Many of the Trump Administration’s policies

towards China remained in place during the

Biden Administration.

Because even “Sleepy 
Joe” was alert enough to see China’s a threat.

But this time around, the philosophy professor 
says,

China knows how much such policies will hurt

, and they will come at a time when 
China’s domestic economy

is not doing well.

That’s…a bit of an understatement

. China’s 
economy is an absolute dumpster fire on wheels.

And Canada, the US, and many European 
countries

are already placing tariffs on

Chinese EV imports

and other goods after 
accusing China of dumping on the market.

But China doesn’t care that Trump won!

Just look at how not-nervous Xi looks.

We’ll just have to wait and see how it 
all plays out for China…

Or, maybe not!

Because major US-listed Chinese stocks

are already falling after Trump’s win,

with his tariff promises in the spotlight.

Shares of Chinese e-commerce giant 
Alibaba fell by as much as 4.5%,

while JD.com fell by 7.7% and 
Bilibili stock fell by 7.8%.

Call those stocks Tom Petty,

cause they’re free fallin’.

Meanwhile, as the final results 
of the election started coming in,

the Hong Seng Index dropped 2.2%

and the 
Shanghai Composite Index fell by 0.1%.

This may have something to do with the 
10-20% tariffs

across the board that Trump has suggested imposing

with 
60% tariffs on Chinese goods.

A 60% tariff on Chinese goods could reduce

Chinese GDP growth by 2.4 percentage 
points

, according to Citi analysts.

And given that China’s <i>official</i> GDP 
growth numbers are already just barely hanging on

with the actual numbers probably far 
lower –

that could be a serious blow to China.

Of course, those same analysts 
believe that

threat is going to be used as a bargaining chip

by Trump 
rather than actually implemented.

Which makes sense. It’s a gamble.

You can take the man out of the casinos,

but you can’t take the casinos out of the man

. Especially when his name is on them.

Of course, the stock market being the stock market

, the panic eased up in the days after the 
election,

and several of the stocks rebounded.

So I guess we’re back to, “

we’ll have to wait and 
see how this all plays out.

”A Taiwanese couple has been indicted

for being paid by the CCP

to 
spread their propaganda and influence elections.

The couple, [a man named Chang Meng-chung and his 
wife, Hung Wen-ting ] were charged with violating

Taiwan’s Anti-Infiltration Act and election laws

by making radio and digital media propaganda for Beijing

in exchange for $2.32 million,

paid 
out over more than a decade!

[Chang and Hung ]are both members of a small political 
party on the island called the CUPP–

the China Unification Promotion Party.

Which is pretty self-explanatory.

The party only has about 60,000 members.

But the indictment is actually 
pretty significant

because Taipei, in the past

, has struggled to connect 
Chinese cash payouts to the CUPP.

Which indicates that the 2020 
Anti-Infiltration Act has changed things.

The Investigation Bureau of Taiwan’s Ministry

of Justice said in its statement Monday

that authorities investigating Chang Meng-chung 
and his wife searched 24 locations

between December 2023 and July of this year.

The bureau said it seized mobile phones,

computers, financial records and other evidence.

According to the prosecutors, China’s Taiwan 
Affairs Office in Beijing

and its branch office in Fujian province

paid the couple between 
2011-23.

I guess it’s nice to see given the state of China’s economy that

Beijing is 
able to offer steady income to somebody.

And what did they do in exchange?

Well, allegedly, they promoted candidates 
favored by Beijing

, disparaged Hong Kong democracy activists

and members of Falun 
Gong,

boasted about China’s military power,

and urged Taiwan’s troops to surrender 
in the event of a Chinese invasion.

So they were shills.

I hope China at 
least gives them some commemorative swag.

“I sold out my country and 
all I got was some money,

a prison sentence, and this poorly made T-shirt.”

Prosecutors also allege the couple 
went to mainland China several times

to provide program summaries and 
plans for CCP authorities to review.

China hasn’t commented on the arrest,

but 
Chang says “Taiwan says it’s democratic,

but it’s not democratic at all.

The CUPP 
has always been championing cross-strait reunification

, so what I said is the same 
as what the CUPP has always advocated.”

True, but when you say it for payments to the tune of $2.3 million,

it’s just 
a <i>little</i> bit different.

And after the break, Vietnam and the 
Philippines are getting tough on China.

Welcome back.

Vietnam is taking a harsher stance on 
Chinese aggression

by demanding Beijing return detained Vietnamese fishermen

and ramping up island-building.

Vietnam claims that a number 
of Vietnamese fishermen

have been detained by China near the Paracel 
Islands

for quote unquote illegal fishing,

although they haven’t said when these 
fishermen were detained or how many were taken.

And last week, the deputy spokesperson for Vietnam’s Foreign Affairs Ministry

called on China to release them.

At a news conference on Halloween, he said,

“Vietnam resolutely opposes China’s actions,

and requests China to fully respect 
Vietnam’s rights over the Paracel Islands,

release all illegally detained Vietnamese 
fishermen

and vessels, compensate for damage,

and stop and not repeat the harassment and illegal 
capture of Vietnamese vessels and fishermen.”

The disputed Paracel Islands 
are claimed by Vietnam but

have been occupied by China since 1974.

China, of course, disputes 
Vietnam’s version of events.

I assume China’s version is, “We — as always 
—

did nothing wrong, quit hating, haters.”

China and Vietnam have a testy relationship 
historically,

going back to a Chinese invasion

of its southern neighbor back in 1979 
that didn’t end too well for the CCP.

China had a bad time invading Vietnam?

Man, 
they’ve been copying the US for decades!

But the CCP might find it much more difficult

to bully Vietnamese fishermen 
now than they did in the past.

Because Vietnam is ramping up 
construction of artificial islands

in the South China Sea.

Analysts are suggesting that this could 
lead to a militarization of the area,

with an airfield even being 
built on the Barque Canada Reef.

Neither country is commenting 
much on the issue at this time,

and it’s likely going to take much 
longer

before Vietnam’s efforts could match those of China’s militarized 
islands

in the South China Sea.

But this could eventually allow Vietnam to counter 
China’s attempts

to claim waters in its territory,

especially since the CCP has its hands full 
dealing with Taiwan and the Philippines.

Man, China is making so many enemies

they can’t keep track of their enemies.

They’re spread thinner than Xi’s skin

when he sees this image. .

Seriously, 
don’t share it.

It makes him <i>real</i> mad .

Philippine forces have retaken an island in 
mock combat

right in front of China’s navy.

This was the first such exercise of 
its kind

and showed off Philippine military capabilities

as Chinese 
warships nearby watched on.

General Romeo Brawner Jr. observed 
the drills from a frigate

and underscored how the exercise displayed the readiness

of the Philippine forces.

Brawner told a small group of journalists

who were invited to see the exercises that, “

We are warning our neighbors

or whoever or any external forces

that we are capable of defending our islands.”

Brawner has even said that the Chinese 
ships nearby added realism to the exercise.

As if Filipino ships hadn’t already had enough 
realistic encounters

with Chinese boats.

The Philippines and China have been clashing

for a long time over disputed islands

and waters in the South China Sea.

And the US has repeatedly warned 
the CCP that it is obligated by treaty

to defend the Philippines 
should tensions escalate into war.

Chinese officials have not 
commented on this drill,

but, in the past,

they’ve opposed war 
drills entirely in the South China Sea.

Unless, of course, the People’s Liberation 
Army Navy is the one conducting them!

The head of Myanmar’s military government

is visiting China for the first 
time since taking power.

This is the first time in over three years that

Myanmar’s junta chief has traveled to China,

and he is due to visit the city of Kunming,

which is not so far from the Myanmar border,

for a series of talks and summits 
on regional economic cooperation,

according to a report from state-run TV.

The report said he will also have “meetings with 
Chinese government officials

to discuss ways to enhance goodwill

, economic and various sectors 
between the two governments and the people.”

Because who would know more about 
improving economies than China?

Everybody. The answer is everybody.

Myanmar is in a devastating civil war,

and the military junta has recently 
faced a series of losses.

China’s been backing both sides through different measures,

which we’ve covered on the show before

.Some opposition groups in Myanmar

have expressed their concern about China hosting the junta chief

, since the junta is sanctioned 
by many Western nations for human rights abuses.

Not that China would ever listen to 
concerns about human rights abuses!

Beijing has been concerned about 
potential spillovers

of the violence from both sides

and has failed to 
broker a ceasefire numerous times.

But now, the CCP wants to make 
its concerns heard loud and clear,

including by shutting down borders

and cutting electricity to Myanmar towns,

among other measures.

Wow… so Xi does care.

Now, I’ve got a video to show you

there are tons of companies that collect your personal data

I’m talking: name, social security number, home address,

employment history

all sorts of things 
you might not want to be public knowledge.

When I signed up for Incogni in 2022,

I discovered there were dozens of data brokers

that potentially had my private

—without my permission.

This was terrifying.

So what did I do?

I’ve been getting as many of these companies as possible

to delete my data from their systems.

I did it using Incogni.

And you can, too.

Incogni has already gotten my details removed

from 357 of these data brokers who’ve collected my info.

And I didn’t have to do anything 
after signing up.

Incogni just handles it.
