Is there really mass crimes against humanity in China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region? Of course not! But such conspiracy theories still abound in the West.
Andy Boreham visited the regions capital, Ürümqi, with YouTuber Daniel Dumbrill to take a walk around an ordinary street, and through an ordinary mall.

Come for a walk and a chat!
