石炳锋, China's Migrant Hero

[.Q.]

I came upon this guy's channel and saw him exposing a lot of local corruption. He goes around pointing out abandoned buildings, ghost cities, corrupt village officials taking over land, etc. I always wondered how he was able to get away with that w/o getting disappeared and he explained it in one of his videos. Turns out this guy grew up in a farming village and started travelling when he was young. He is used to being poor and having to camp out in the woods, etc. So basically he would travel to a place, interview locals that got screwed, then upload the videos after he left the area. Because he doesn't have fixed residence it's hard for the bad guys to locate him. That's a pretty interesting strategy. Much respect to him.

Him explaining why he does what he does:


Him talking about his home village chief taking over shared village land:


He also does nice scenery stuff. In fact first started watching his clips because I thought it was a travelling channel. Here's him climbing some crazy ladders up a cliff to interview a cliff village. I thought he was going to die just from exhaustion of the climb.


Him showing one of the most amazing ghost building case. Out in the middle of the boondocks the county built some ridiculous building that cost more than 20% of the county's annual income. In fact they ran out of money before finishing.

how does he travel all around china ? his computers are not tackable ? how does he afford travel and computers if he is poor ?.........Anyway, if he is exposing local corruption he is doing Xi a favour as this is his mission too.....

I have an odd feeling this guy will end up like Putin's opponents.....ingested bad food or tea or a spider tripped him and he fell down some stairs!

Sadly that's quite possible. So far his strategy of not staying in one place has worked. Hope he can keep it up and stay safe.

If Putin, Xi or the CIA wanted to find him they already done so.....However, if he is even worth to be noticed by them he’s probably seen as useful for CIA like Organisations...he can continue.....

Did he keep moving around spreading viruses during the covid19 lockdown ..... ? Then maybe Xi want to have a say about that.

China is quite nice directed , much better than previous whole communistic block,
so,
he is workin` undercover for government ,I suppose.
There is very little probability, that he is independent.
I love to be wrong in this statement.

I really don't understand how one would draw a conclusion that this guy is working for the government. I mean nothing is impossible but that's a bizarre theory.

he could be finacial backed by foreign powers, as the HK terrorists....but since no big shots seem to care about his possible wrongdoings, he is probably a looner...
