Popular YouTube personality Uncle Roger (a character played by Nigel Ng) did a video with food vlogger Mike Chen earlier this week - however, Nigel Ng has now deleted the video because of Mike Chen being outspoken against China's human rights violations.
It seems Nigel Ng is now getting backlash for removing the video because Mike rightfully advocates for human rights for all people in China. Nigel Ng even went as far as to say "I wasn't aware of his political thoughts and his incorrect remarks about China".
Really disappointing to see Nigel Ng do this when Mike seems to be bringing awareness to awful human rights issues.

By now I think most people have seen this story floating around, been a crazy couple of days just wanted to say thank you to everyone so much for the love and support! Sorry I can't get to everyone's message but I am truly touched, humbled and strengthened by you all. š
I think that what happened here is the result of the CCP's censorship, even if it wasn't direct censorship. The CCP uses many tactics to silence those who disagree with them or challenge them. They will use online mobs to bully or intimidate people. They will use their soft power to get people to self-censor because they are afraid of losing business in China or offending Chinese people. And I think that's what's happening here.
Unfortunately, as the CCP gains more influence in the world, this has become a widespread problem in society. It affects everyone from governments, to corporations, to even YouTubers.
I hold no animosity towards Nigel for what he did, because it's hard to stand up to the CCP's tactics. I do hope that he learns more about the human rights abuses that the CCP has committed because he lives in a free country where he can do that.
I have always said that I love China, and I love the kind hearted Chinese people. They are my people. The CCP however is not China and certainly should not be equated to the Chinese people.
I stand by everything I've said in the past about the CCP. They've committed countless atrocities from the Cultural Revolution to the Tiananmen Square massacre. And even now, they're forcing millions of Uyghurs into labor camps, persecuting Tibetans, Mongolians, Christians, and Falun Gong, and locking up pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong. But because of the CCP's money and influence, many people even outside China are afraid to say anything. I only have a small platform, but I will always do what I can to lend my voice to those in China who can't speak out.
Finally, If you feel compelled to please sign the global petition to end the CCP at www.endccp.com even thought it's just a petition, it shows them there are those who see through their lies and want to see a truly free China.
