A foreign travel blogger recently visited ChinaXinjiang During the ride, when I was sleeping in the open air, I was woken up at 2 am by the police who informed me that the camping site was in danger from falling rocks and wild animals. Bloggers complained about this again and again. Unexpectedly, after the video was exposed, foreign netizens praised the enthusiasm of the Chinese police and criticized them for not knowing how to thank the police for their concern.

This foreign blogger whose online name is YungCheeezyPakistan Get out and plan a trip to Kyrgyzstan. On the 26th day of the journey he took a bus through Pakistan and ChinaLimit Enter Xinjiang through the port, and then ride along the highway. This is not the first time it has entered China through Xinjiang. Late last year they also entered China in the opposite direction from Kyrgyzstan.

According to the video he posted, Yunchizi once claimed that during the ride he found “secret police” following him. When he made a similar statement last year, a foreign netizen living in China left a message informing him that the police were ensuring his safety in the border area. The local natural environment was complex and the highway speed was high, posing some risks.

Looking at the follow-up video he released last year, it can be seen that during his stay in China he was still able to set up tents and camp on the roadside, and he was also able to interact freely with the local people. The police also took the initiative to tell them which route was safe for riding.

This incident happened last weekend. Yunchizi, who was fast asleep in an abandoned house on the border with Xinjiang, claimed that the so-called “secret police” woke him up at 2 a.m. and prepared to take him away. However, the police in the video explained to them in English that the abandoned house could be at risk from falling rocks and wild animals and that camping is very dangerous. Then he was taken to the city and he walked alone to the hotel.

The video sparked discussion in foreign communities, with many netizens praising the police. One comment, with 5,654 likes, read: “They really care about you.” Another comment thought Chinese police were friendlier than American police, and even joked: “They didn’t beat you, arrest you, and confiscate your bicycle? If this were our America…”

Some netizens also criticized the blogger’s attitude, believing that he went his own way and instead caused trouble for the police.

Dutch sinologist Manya. Manya Koetse also forwarded the video to the X platform believing that the problem was with the blogger. She said: “If it were me, I would thank the staff and thank them for their polite attitude, rather than acting as if they are taking it for granted and being condescending towards others.”

Under Cortez’s post, many foreign netizens also expressed dissatisfaction with the blogger’s attitude. Some Chinese netizens pointed out that western China has many sparsely populated mountainous areas and forested areas with harsh environments. Landslides and earthquakes occur frequently. Even Chinese people can get lost and be in danger. Police intervention is to avoid accidents.

The netizen also called on the police to be common people and expressed hope that foreign bloggers would understand and respect the efforts of the police instead of merely looking for trouble.
