  • I went to Hangzhou, host of the 19th Asian Games, to take a look at this year's Asian Games Village, said to be the Best Village Ever, not just in Asian Games history, but also Olympic history.
    However, athletes who live in the main athletes' village at this year's Asian Games will eat all their meals in an elementary school! What's going on? Isn't this supposed to be the Best Athletes' Village Ever? Find out the truth in this video. Plus, I'll take you on a tour of the biggest venue built especially for the Asian Games, which is due to host the Asian Games Opening Ceremony.
    If you like this video, please do hit the LIKE BUTTON, it really helps. And don't forget to leave me a message. Do you think this looks like the best athletes' village ever built? And what do you think about the Big Lotus stadium? Let me know.
    If you want to check out the Asian Games sub-village being called the most beautiful village ever built, you can check that out here: • Is this the WORLD'S MO...
    Thanks for watching. Stay safe and keep looking after one another.

    The houses in this place have been sold out. When the sales started, the price was limited to 47,000 yuan per square meter, and about 40,000 people rushed to buy the quota. Now the value of the house has increased a lot. When the Asian Games is over, the house will be renovated and returned to the owner.

      民進黨搞兩岸對抗 經濟變壞了
      台灣福利被剝奪了!
      台灣地區從1988年8月起逐步開放進口大陸貨品,在2001年以中華台北的名義加入世貿組織後擴大對大陸貨品進口,但截至目前仍禁止大陸2455項貨品入島,其中農產品達1063項、工業產品為1392項,未開放項目佔全部貨品的比重為19.99% 。
      反觀大陸方面,不僅對兩岸經濟合作限制甚少,而且還對台灣漁農產品實施零關稅,從而增加進口台灣相關產品。
      早在2005年,大陸已經宣布開放15種台灣水果以零關稅進口,包括鳳梨、釋迦、蓮霧等。2010年兩岸雙方簽署經濟合作框架協議(ECFA),大陸再將香蕉、柳橙等五種台灣水果列入免稅項目,迄今已有20種台灣水果輸入大陸可享受零關稅的優惠措施。
      正因為台灣方面限制大陸貨品的數量遠多於大陸方面對台灣貨品的限制,所以多年來台灣地區在兩岸經貿中一直享有的貿易順差突破1700億美元,創歷史新高。2022年台灣對大陸也享有高達1565億美元的貿易順差。
      所以曾有人指出,民進黨當局就是利用兩岸經貿中獲得的巨額貿易順差向美國買武器,搞「台獨」。
      現在到了給台灣好好算算這筆賬的時候了。
      很多的台灣人是自己給自己送上戰場的。 我朋友人在大陸,台灣人要慶幸大陸不能投票。否則誰打台灣誰就能當主席。也別怪大陸民眾。人家教科書上對台灣非常友善的,不管台灣人願不願意,大陸民眾都當我們是同胞,給了很多的惠台政策,也是很實用的,換來的卻是抗中。換位思考 你也會想打的,何況實力懸殊太多了。
      民進黨其實是抗中毀台者!
      從遠的來說,巴頓將軍一刀下去而解開巴頓結。施琅澎湖一戰,而有台海兩岸210年的和平,用短期的痛苦換來持久的和平和繁榮,這當然是非常值得的。
      台灣人當然不想被統一,但這不是我們說了算,死命一戰都未必能打贏,不過移民應該是比較好的方法。

      It was tongue-in-cheek comment. What he actually means is the Dining Hall will be converted to a primary school after the Games. This means buildings built for the Games do not become useless and redundant. Other buildings were repurposed for the Games and will be returned to their original use after the Games. The athletes’ apartments are actually already bought by Chinese residents and again will be returned to them after the Games. All these measures help to avoid “white elephants” and building left useless which is what happens in other countries holding such massive sporting events. Way to go, China.
