they invade our private lives through surveillance. hidden, secretive like through what's big. it doesn't matter. the only criteria is what we'll hook people up. we shed light on the opaque world. who's behind, who benefits? and why are they a threat to us all opaque worlds start to june, 2nd on d, w this is did up in years asia coming up today. the you and rights chiefs, china visit comes in for criticism, rights groups and activists. they have visit legitimizes, china, se treatment if it's we good minority. a we got activist explains how and

undefined, from all sides, a chinese blogger and ukraine tries to lift the veil of rushes division, but gets branded an enemy by b ging. ah, i british energy. welcome to the dublin news asia. glad you could join us. you and rights chief michelle bachelor has spoken of goat collaborating on human rights with the chinese government during has 6 day visit to the country. the much anticipated to update that ocean jung, a chinese region, but up to a 1000000 most of them wiggers have been legit. lee been detained by china in camps as part of measures to combat coat extremism. the u. k. u. s. canada are among nations that have labeled it genocide, but condemnation of beijing's rights record has been absent so far during bachelor's visit. one which has been totally controlled by china. and it's for this

reason the us had already called the visit a mistake. it's unclear what bus they will encounter during how shin jang visit. but bost coverage from chinese state media already provide some clues. ah, this is the vision of shinji young. the china's ruling communist party wants the world to see weaker cassock and other muslim minorities dancing, studying mandarin, and drawing pictures. the up, the public face of what beijing describes as a successful campaign to fight terrorism on restore order and ethnic cohesion. and says the noah total nurse shall i want to declare that there is no way to stage the kind of social harmony instability that exists since shinji young. and we're not hiding anything we. she also knew her. you man, a significant days, a leak from shinji young security operations shows a very different picture from beijing's version. the files released as you and human rights chief, michelle bachelor, began a 6 day visit,

include mug shots of thousands of detained. weaker is an internal documents outlining, shoot to kill policies for those who try to escape it's, it's hard to describe, but it's deeply traumatizing looking these people in the eyes seeing those images of police droves it's. it's very intense. the revelations sparked outrage from world leaders get idea is a bit as each i think everyone who sees these images get the children. that's fine because leaf images a horrific and disturbing and confirm what has been going on for a long time. i at the most theory with human rights violations, are taken play fellows in teams, and the addon will. yeah. some lawmakers fear bachelor's, highly orchestrated tour of shinji young helps to whitewash the crack down the u. s . believe's, the visit was the wrong way to go. we think it was a mistake. i to agree to visit under these circumstances where the high commissioner will hi,

mr. will not be granted the type of unhindered access free and full access that would be required to do a complete assessment. chinese state media has tried to deflect from the report by hailing the success of chin young's economy and the leadership warns against interfering and its domestic affairs. but there is mounting pressure for the international community to address china's human rights record. and that record has come up for discussion during michelle marshall is china visit, but perhaps not as human rights campaign as we go rights groups would have wanted, as we saw, the earlier report partially had a video meeting with chinese president. she jumping, this is what our office tweeted after that. it's called the meeting valuable in the context of discussing human rights issues and also when to say that human rights, justice, inclusion of all are important for peace and security to be sustainable. and

the same meeting president eugene being is reported to have said court through long term and persistent hard work. china has successfully embarked on a part of human rights development that conforms to the trend of the times and suits its own national conditions. and joining me now to get there, we go to perspective of michelle marshall is with it is where he, my mahmud, she's a senior and you get director of the world. we go to congress, which is based in munich memory. we are expecting a press conference over the weekend, potentially from michelle, partially on her visit to china. but how would you assess her visit so far? well, so far it just proved that at this is not the neutral, independent unfettered investigation that we've really hope that has instead been mad by a lack of engagement and transparency. and the deliberate misrepresentation of

high commissioners was, well, what we heard. and signals once again that the chinese government has no desire to share the truth with the you and or anyone else. but simply wants a free pass to continue carry out or repression, surveillance, torture, genocide against my community. do you think that china is essentially getting away with genocide? i believe so. i believe so. what would, what would you say in with oh, sorry. or they're both then what would you serve as remote or michelle bachelor's visit has achieved nothing. i know from then you. ready said we are hearing and some of the articles

a in fact there's very little truth. are all you know, as i mentioned earlier, unfettered access to the places and where we hoped that she could visit. and also with the families off her people are who you know, have family members intent or missing. and also i am we requested and meeting a so she, the high commissioner had an opportunity before her with that to engage directly. i'm with zech and concerns of our community. instead, she refused to meet with representatives from we were advocacy groups and the failed to providing adequate explanation of their, of their arrangements and the sarah surrounding her trip. and how it will be unfair

is as should be unfettered. and a most concerning however, was the failure of the high commissioner and to release her reports on human rights situation in the region, which was prepared and it was ready september last year. so despite it being completed, instead, she's offering the chinese government an opportunity for whitewash report. and in doing so, i at their own horrific crimes. now, chinese presents huge and bring in is a video called with michelle marshall and spoke of human rights in china that suits its own emotional conditions. i wonder, is beijing's understanding of human rights, different to the world's there is no human rights in china. there is only one rule, a one party, there is no pro par rule of law. so therefore there is no human rights.

and i, i, this is always been the and that a, the response from beijing, the always say, is a chinese version or chinese characteristic of humor. rise for chinese characteristic off ruling. if complete control of off of people. right, we'll have to leave it there for the time being, but thank you so much for joining us frame. i moved from the world. we grew congress. thank you so much. thank you for having me. ah. as the warden ukraine grinds into its 4th month, one of russia's biggest allies remained steadfastly at its side. china has given tacit sometimes even open approval to moscow's boar, and that shows no sign of changing. and that's the method. the chinese people are getting at home by a state media in ukraine. that's another matter. and it's where we caught up with a chinese blogger with a different view. you might think he's

a travel blogger, or a foodie one. ccn is out filming daily life in odessa. but odessa is a city at war, and one was from china is telling his compatriots about life in war time. any kind of you have a look, this fish is still alive. what does this tell us? a whole food logistics are working. and also retailers, fully operational shows us that the city of odessa is functioning about chinese central television, toes, its audience that things are terrible. bombs and we are eating fresh fish, was started posting videos shortly after the war began. the 15th of march, 5 o'clock in the morning. the sirens are on again. and this is what every night is like. for the people again,

social you'll get. now it's 9 am local time. i haven't slept well. the sirens don't let you sleep at night. but hey, relax i am alive. have one in his videos. one challenge is chinese state media who often echo rushes, propaganda, palmer of it. and they're calling this a nazi symbol. i don't know what they're talking about. why haven't i never encountered any nazis here? i am seeing lovely kids outside heads. i am seeing friendly people. one is an i t entropy nor he says he was never into politics, but since the war began, he has dug deep into questions of freedom, diplomacy, war, and peace. videos are centered in china. why don't therefore i am what they call digital lead disappeared, my voice, my picture, my videos, whatever i post, even if i just say hello, my name is tisa and it's 12 o'clock and the weather is nice. it will be deleted to

her friend. when they read all that i will have to you and then we go on his pro ukrainian stance has earned him death threats from chinese nationalists. but he finds comfort in his new home federalists, and this is the death of my heart. this is what the city looks like on day to day. hello. hello, i am decent. today is saturday and the people behind me doing it is one moved to a desk only a few months before war started. he says he fell in love with its charms, not knowing that war was looming. now he is out and about almost daily documenting life in the city. the war has not damped and his love for it

turned on war. his cruel war must not happen. but the people he still living a life indignity, they have not been scared off. they have not run away. that is what i am seeing. that is what i want to show. the opposition he faces from china does not discourage him. he is prepared to go it all alone. that report by our correspondent it is filling up. and that's it for this week. there is mo, from the region on our website, the w dot com forward slash aisha will see you back here on monday. have a good weekend everyone to back every day for us and for our planet. and global ideas is on its way to bring you more conservation. how do we
