Youtuber #UncleRoger deletes video co-produced with pro-democracy KOL to appease his Chinese fans
On January 10, 2021, Malaysian YouTuber, Uncle Roger, released a video he produced in partnership with #MikeChen, another YouTube food specialist.
Later on, after knowing that Mike Chen once criticized the Chinese authorities and backed Hong Kong pro-democracy protesters, Uncle Roger kowtowed and apologized to his Chinese fans, stating that the video has “triggered a host of negative impact on society.”
He quickly removed the video pleading Chinese fans to give him another chance, “I hope you can give Uncle Roger, who just entered China, a chance to improve!”
His move was criticised by many on Twitter. Nathan Law, Hong Kong pro-democracy activist in exile and the founding chairperson of Demosisto, wrote on his twitter that the comedian was “disgracefully sacrificing his basic morality to pander to his China fans.”
Nigel Ng, aka Uncle Roger, is a UK-based Malaysian comedian. He shot to fame in 2019 and gained over 3 million subscribers on his Youtube channel and 120 thousand fans on #Weibo, a Chinese social media platform.

Huawei patent mentions AI technology for identifying Uyghurs
BBC quoted IPVM, a U.S. video-surveillance research group, showing that a patent filed by Chinese leading telecom giant Huawei in 2018 mentioned an artificial intelligence system that can identify Uyghurs.
There are growing evidences in recent years that the Chinese government has been using technology to infringe human right of Uyghurs in Xinjiang, and Huawei, the leading Chinese technology company, has been accused of being involved in related human rights violation. According to IPVM, the patent was jointly authored by Huawei and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) in July 2018.
Street CCTV can be used to identify races
The patent describes ways to use deep learning technology to identify the body posture characteristics of pedestrians in the street surveillance system. It also suggests that the technology can be used to identify different attributes of the target person, including races.
