Comments by "Winston Smith" (@kryts27) on "ALERT! Chemical Defense Force Deployed? China's "Chernobyl Incident" Could Affect the Entire Nation" video.
There are many problematic and criminal government issues here; 1.Severe, long-lasting and dusruptive environmental pollution, both from the mining, refining and usage of the coal and uranium, 2. Use of coerced slave labour from prisons or gulags to extract the dangerous ore, 3. Weaponizing the uranium to produce nuclear weapons as well as power reactor fuel rods.

This is erroneous. With pitchblende (uranium oxide mineral) in the black shale layers of the coal, unseparated burning of this layer in coal smoke in power plants undoubtably causes radioactive emissions from these plants, several hundred times greater than from nuclear reactor plants. China has 168 or more major official coal fired power plants (probably double that unofficially since the CCP regularly lies about it's statistics), equating to 10-20% power production by coal worldwide. China is also the largest polluter of coal emissions worldwide from unscubbed smokestacks (China coal smokestack emissions which have a particular chemical signiture have been detected as far away as Canada and the United States across the broad Pacific).
