Video taking off 6.7x its usual first day

Avi Yemini asks students why they prefer communism

The street interview presses international students on studying in Australia while supporting China's government, drawing an unusually large audience for his Shorts.

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 150,215 views a day, 6.7 times a normal first day on this channel (22,415).

They Came Here To Learn… And Chose COMMUNISM 🤦‍♂️🚩They Came Here To Learn… And Chose COMMUNISM 🤦‍♂️🚩

"Because we're here to learn," a student tells Avi Yemini when he asks why she lives in Australia if she prefers communism to capitalism.

That exchange anchors the correspondent's brief street interview with international students. The woman says she has lived in Australia for nine years, after Yemini notices her Australian accent. When he offers a choice between the two economic systems, the students answer communism.

The Short reached roughly 137,000 views in 20 hours, running well ahead of the usual start for Yemini's Shorts. Its comment section was also several times busier than a typical first day. Some viewers focus on the length of the woman's stay and her explanation that she is studying.

Yemini's questioning moves from that apparent tension to the limits of the students' support for China's government. Asked whether it does anything wrong, they say no. He then asks whether imprisoning people for practicing religion is acceptable, and the woman answers yes. The clip ends with that sharper question about what her support includes, rather than an explanation of why she prefers communism.
