July 2020 Monthly Letter
Added 2020-07-05 19:35:01 +0000 UTCWe’ve made it halfway through 2020!!! Congratulations my loyal 50-Cent Army!
There are big things afoot!
First some bad news. We are absolutely devastated by the Hong Kong national security law. It’s such a blow to Hong Kong’s freedoms. And since it applies to people even outside Hong Kong, Matt, Shelley, and I have decided to rethink our plans to travel to Hong Kong for the elections later this year. Of course that won’t stop us from covering Hong Kong. Neither will YouTube demonetization stop us. Yes, YouTube continues to instantly demonetize our episodes about Hong Kong. Vile. But that’s why your support is so important.
Now for some good news. We are currently building a new studio! It’s a major upgrade from the tiny shared space we had used before, and from Matt’s living room where we’ve been filming during the coronavirus. It’s a nice big space that will let us shoot the show, record the podcast, and have guests over for interviews, as well as give us a more space to expand the team. And that means more content for you!
I also want to thank everyone who gave loads of helpful suggestions for how we can do merchandise. I got loads of suggestions, and I’m still going through all of the emails. Yes, in addition to all the work that goes into making the show, I’m also answering emails and replying to comments on social media. I love doing it, but forgive me if I’m a bit slow sometimes.
Also, I keep hearing that many of you have no idea that we have another show called America Uncovered! Be sure to check it out!

And don’t forget our podcast either, China Unscripted.

And finally, Matt, Shelley, and I celebrated our 4th of July together and we watched Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure. Shelley discovered in an original draft of the screenplay, they were going to have Hitler in it. I’m glad they decided to scrap that. But inspired by the movie, I’ll leave you with this inspirational message: Be excellent to each other!
Yours Truly,
Chairman Chris Chappell
Comments
Chairman Chris, I have been noticing more media outlets referring to the Coronavirus as the CCP virus. Since mainstream media refuses to report on it, is there any evidence or any scientific body that has suggested the CCP virus was man-made?
Not Kim Jung Un
2020-07-09 01:47:54 +0000 UTCThis next couple of years is going to be a wild ride. China is going gangbusters against democracy advocates. Thankfully, many in the world are waking up. Considering all of the censorship in China and the US, there's never been a better time to support China Uncensored. Keep up the great work.

2020-07-05 22:56:08 +0000 UTCalso whats your take on the fact that more countries are signing up for Huawei 5G despite us attempts to counter them(i.e. oman, qatar and a few others recently). if rakuten's cloud 5G is successful do you think it could be enough in combination with sanctions to stave off a huawei monopoly on the market?

2020-07-05 20:07:29 +0000 UTCDear Chris, what actions if any do you think the united states would be willing to take, or even could take for that matter against china if American citizens become the target of the new security law?

2020-07-05 19:59:04 +0000 UTCChina really stepping up their game and lots of countries are becoming easy pickings. It's funny because for example, the Philippines used to be a bit neutral on the "China question" for the past few years. But since then it just pushed a new terror law that allows extradition of people who vilify China to, well, China. This is why we can't have nice things.
