last year I had a bad opinion on China, security, pollution, freedom..... until I saw a video of 2 french youtubers in Shanghai and I was stunned !! That was not the China that the medias described. And guess who is learning Chinese and going to China ( Shenzhen and Guangzhou ) at the end of the year ... 🤩
Good for you! I hope it will be worth it for you & prove the western media wrong. I hope China will make it worthwhile & make the Chinese proud of what they have accomplished & how wrong the US & the west are about China who does not have bad intentions for the world.
even 20 years ago I was not afraid to walk on the quiet streets in Beijing at 2am -- I knew I'm safe and talked to people who's still working at that time~
No such thing as a perfect city/country but I must say what Chinese govt were able to achieve with 1.4B people and from an agricultural backward economy to arrive to what it is today is a monumental achievement of epic proportions. That you have to give full credit to the Chinese govt and its hardworking, high saving , smart people. No country has come close to what they have achieved in 3 decades. They have now arrived on the world stage with pride. Congrats.
No, as a Chinese I will not give any credit to the CCP, and especially not the Xi Jinping led CPP. Do you know what happened in the cultural revolution? Do you know what happened on 1989 June 4th? Do you know there are literal slave labor camps in Myanmar and Cambodia set up by Chinese triads and protected by the CCP? Do you know they are shipping fentanyl and its precursors to the Mexican and Columbian cartels? CCP is nothing but the biggest and most powerful triad in China. They are a criminal organization that took power, that's all, and Chinese will never be free under their rule.
@@robertwang7825 you would expect western governments to be happy to see all the progress made by the Chinese government. But all they do is nit pick and name call them ccp.
Absolutely agree 100%,im a foreigner living in China and everything you said is true, I have been here for a decade and I'm not leaving anytime soon, thanks for you perfect opinion 🙏🙏🙏
This one is happy here because he doesn't want to exercise his freedom... he's content with good food and drinks and keeping his mouth shut (while not eating...)
On Chinese students. Im in advertising in Malaysia. I was once approached by a UK college to plan a campaign to attract Malaysian Chinese students to their college. Upon asking and discussing with the UK college's middle person (agency) i learned that the reduction of Chinese students to UK isnt only affecting their income, but most importantly, affecting the rankings of the UK colleges! That dawn on me, the rankings attract Asian students, and the Asian student's higher school fees supports the school, but also the Asian students were the top scorers that uplifts the rankings of these schools!
Yeah tbh honest UK is totally dependent on asian and russian money lol. China is the main key player in UK because mainland chinese student go to uk and buy apartment and spend in their country and other asian countries like singapore, malaysia, thailand, vietnam and india international students go uk to spend their money and get a degree. Most western country is bankrupt already as they print more money and yet UK is trying to act tough towards asian and think they can still compete with China
Sinophobia will only get worse as the U$ regime further declines. The U$ regime's number one priority is to neuter China no matter the cost, just like they did to Japan and the Soviets. Foolish for Chinese/Asians to study and migrate to the West today.
Why your UK as well as US and EU countries telling Chinese to go home. Now they go back in droves. They follow what your people tell them to do.. go back to China!
I was on a train in Denmark, a middle age woman, probably in her 40s, asked me, after knowing that I am from China, if there is train or railroad in my country. I couldn't help giggling. If you listen to western mainstream media, you're fucked.
I have many friends in China they are my brothers i never had any problems. Most people are very peaceful and nice . I have trained at shaolin temple in China yes I am American . I have traveled to China many times I usually spend months in China every year . China is a beautiful country and never had any problems. China does not allow crime like in United States . Chinese new year and dragon festival and fall festival amazing .
I am Canadian and have lived here in China 20+ years. It is a good country and good government. I know, I've lived under EU govts and Trudeau 1 and 2. This government gets things done. We just had Typhoon Yagi, and it all got sorted out within a week. Huge govt response. Awesome.
The dumbest most misinformed westerners are those that lived in China. The most ridiculously stupid ones are the ones who didn't get kicked out yet. Tick tock (literally)
As a Chinese Canadian, every piece of news about China in Canada is negative - except I go back to China every year and they're literally living in the future, while my home city of Toronto can't even complete a freaking streetcar line, having started construction in 2010.
I lived in Toronto for 4 years. It is the most depressing, melancholy, sad and cold city I’ve ever been to. Impossible to make friends, everyone is out for themselves. Everything is ultra expensive. It’s all grey and concrete. Literally the worst place I’ve ever lived.
I am German and I live in China for more than 5 years. It is sad how China is portrayed in the western media. And it is actually even more sad that so many people buy into it. The thing is that many westerners think that in the west propaganda doesn’t exist. Because they believe they live in a democracy in the free world. But yeah it is so wrong. Believe me. As a German living in Germany I can tell you one thing. Germans often talk no good about China. Especially because of the media. But in contrast if you ask Chinese about Germany, they normally are showing a very positive attitude. They talk about how great the technology is in Germany and the social system. So do you see the difference?? This is just one thing. There is so much I would like to say about it. China is an amazing country and I can tell anybody. If you didn’t even visit China and really experience the culture, you have no right to judge about this country. China is amazing and the new land of opportunities. And I will try to open more and more peoples eyes in my country. ❤
Yeah. My propaganda were the threats of all out war and air raid drills because 25 million people don’t want to be under the boot of one man with a fragile ego
@@RetryTA I am not a bot. I am a real person who lived in Europe for over 28 years and in China for 6 years. And if you have not even been here one time then you have no idea what you talk about. So stop judging or take a flight and see it for yourself and then make your judgement. I can tell you that the western media is full of lies and frames this country constantly as evil and bad and terrible to create a narrative. That is why there are so many misconceptions about China. And that is due to their political agenda.
In fact, this kind of misunderstanding harms those who accept it, not the ones being misunderstood. As Chinese people in Germany share their experiences, more and more Chinese are beginning to gain a more comprehensive understanding of Germany. This won't affect China's development. The media's dedication to discrediting China only dumbs down the people of its own country. It's so foolish.
i took a class my sophomore year of college and didnt realize we'd be traveling to china until halfway through the 1 semester. we had an incident right before leaving where some of the tibetan students were prohibited from going. this along with my general disinterest in china at all especially compared to my interest in other parts of asia, particularly korea and japan, i didnt have a good impression at all. but oh my god was i dead wrong. i was able to travel to all 3 countries on the same trip and by far, BY FAR, china was the most enjoyable. it genuinely reshaped my entire life. i went to the great wall which was the coolest experience ever, it felt like climbing on something from a dream. and even though we had to wear masks upon arrival, the air can actually be so clean!!! i dont know how to explain it. everything was just so open and spacious. compare that to the super narrow streets of tokyo or the huge skyscrapers in seoul, tbh, it felt really sterile sometimes. not that there isnt places like that in china too, but because everything is so open, it doesnt feel suffocating. we went during the lunar new year so there were beautiful lights everywhere you went, antique looking shops that felt so surreal, such wide open walkable areas with absolutely no traffic, with natural vegetation, but also mixed with traditional and modern designs. everything felt so clean but not in a sterile way. and it just felt like a real place with real people. and the food was insanely good. some of the best noodles and dumplings i have ever had in my entire life at the most random spots in some random ally. chinese food is so diverse yet so unique. but it was 1000000x better in china than in the u.s where im from. i will NEVER forget the most delicious peking duck experience i had, or the insane hot pot i had at global harbor mall in shanghai. that country is absolutely being demonized by people who have no damn clue what theyre talking about. its been 7 years now and i am aching to go back.
Great report video on China. The rise of China is peaceful helping the world rid of poverty and uplift the standard of living with a shared win-win for mankind.
@@kitman4314 it is still not unified because of USA. It is a joke when people say that China is a peaceful country when president Xi keeps saying attacking Taiwan, hitting the Philippine ship, and seeing all the western countries as enemies. When the emperor is not wearing any clothes, will you stand up and point it out?
China welcomes foreign visitors so they can see and think for themselves how a “communist” country is not what they have been told to fear and think bad about. However, China should be on guard they that don’t let in people who are there for the purpose to disrupt, divide and to cause problems.
@@happymelon7129 Yes you are right, China doesn’t function exactly like a communist country anymore but by definition CPC (Communist Party of China) it’s a communist country.
@@happymelon7129 Well, we were communist countries in the Eastern Europe. But actually, just socialist. I guess there is no real communist country anywhere. And never was. We just call communist countries communist if only one party - the communist - rules the country without any real democracy. That was our case. You could go and vote, but the results were always almost 100 percent. Why? Well, not because people loved the communists. :-)
@@AvesPasseri-Jinysvet People are allowed to vote for their representatives, but they do not get to vote for popular leader. Popular leader makes unrealistic promises... just look at Australia, Malaysia, USA ...etc
@@jeremyahesteban3394 That's why the communist revolution needed to be so brutal. They intended to break that tradition and lineage in order to install the new communist control system. Now that system has been given a make over as the globalist controllers move in to the next phase of world control. China has become the poster child for technocracy. They are trying to sell technocracy to the world so the traditions and cultures and possibly values of the Chinese people are being celebrated while at the same time the dictatorship remains in place and advancements in technological control are being made. While we can all celebrate Chinese culture and ordinary people we should never forget about the nature of the regime which runs the country.
After twelve visits to China and more to come, I certainly agree with you. We've watched, in person, China change since 2006 and the progress continues for the people. Keep sharing the reality, it will help somebody for sure.

There are still many poor people in China but the society is good enough and having enough opportunity for almost all normal people to make a decent living.
Thaks God I got enlightenment without visiting China. I know how warmongers hate China coz China has slipped out of their grab and no longer obeying them or fear them and now is a real superpower. I genuinely regret following warmongers and their medias for over a decade but now I am an enlightened one and I am proud of this. Thanks, Harvey for spreading the truth we HUMANS deserve to know.
The following article is written by Ismail Bashmori, he is an Egyptian China watcher. The truth is that China is the greatest country on the face of the earth. It makes all other countries look insignificant and contemptible. It is the most brilliant, most industrious, most ambitious, most educated, meritocratic and technocratic, most modern, sophisticated, and civilised, and best-governed by far. It is the first non-white, non-Western country to reach this status since the 1600s. The determination of this country is indescribable. Supernatural. There is no force that can stop it from accomplishing anything it wants to do. 。 It doesn’t matter who we are. Egyptians, Syrians, Pakistanis, Indians, Africans, even Americans. Next to the Chinese, we are pathetic. We can’t do what they do. We would have a mountain, an Everest of changes to make, and we would whine and bicker and fail at every one of them. China’s story since the 1980s has been one of an almost divine metamorphosis. 。 Next to China the entire Western world from Alaska to New Zealand has stagnated. Next to China the entire developing world from Brazil to Madagascar has progressed only at a crawl. China is the mother of all gargantuan bullet trains. Every day it manages to create something new and astonishing. And unlike the United States, unlike the British Empire, unlike the French, Dutch, Germans, Spanish, Portuguese or any other Western nation that had its turn at being a superpower in the past four centuries, China doesn’t need to run anybody over or take something from somebody else, to rise majestically. China is also standing up to the West all by herself. The West can’t believe their four-hundred-year-old global supremacy is being challenged. They hoped that the more China developed, the more it would submit to their influence, interests, and leadership. That didn’t happen. So now they will do anything possible, short of a nuclear war, to make China end. Their goal is to destroy this country. That’s why, although the United States has killed several million people and turned several regions of the earth into hellscapes. China is the worst fear of our planet’s Western masters. They want you to despise and dread a country that’s done nothing to you, that hasn’t invaded anyone, bombed or sanctioned anyone, that hasn’t overthrown any foreign government, or used its military on anything since 1979. China is the only major country in the nonwhite developing world, to stand up to the West. To look it in the eye when challenged or threatened. The Global South are simply Western puppets who submitted long ago. Even the most powerful ones. Saudi Arabia, Brazil, India. Above only part of the article, you can read the full article under the following link. www.dailyexpress.com.my/read/4459/west-can-t-believe-nor-accept-china-s-progress/?fbclid=IwAR3aJYSZC3rbUgM1NwHCO73XxnNzNkJPa9wrSsFp-4KMxTozuJiHBwLJDXU
Great article. If only most people brainwashed by the Western propaganda machine would realize this, then the world can be free from the tyranny of Western imperialism. Thanks for the link.
"China is the mother of all gargantuan bullet trains." Wrong, they took the ideas from Geman company "Siemens" and the japanese, who have better train infrastructure and technology. Try again 洋五毛
Well, met a Netherland gentleman in Bangkok airport. He asked is China a dangerous place for foreigners when I told him am currently living in Guangzhou. Then, I ask him why he has such impression. Was told he heard that on media. Am encourage him go to Guangzhou/SZ/SH for 144 hours visa free and see China for himself. This gentleman had been brain-wash by the Western media for so long, soooooooooo sad 😮💨😪
The Western propaganda machine is not only used to further the Western imperialists' agenda but also used as a tool to control their own Western population. This is how they maintain control and get their people to give consent to all the atrocities Western imperialism is inflicting around the world.
China is very safe. So long you don't contradict the government, show poverty or negativity (or reality) and stay in the tourist trap or top tier cities. And avoid flooded areas or infrastructure in the raining seasons.
Thanks for another well-balanced video. Keep enjoying life and keep showing the world what China is really about. It’s thanks to people like you that others are finally opening up and gaining the confidence to visit China and experience it for themselves.
Credit for the great achievements of China absolutely must be given to the Chinese people and to the CPC leadership. The governance systems of China are unique in the world and are a product of the Chinese people. Like it or not, the fact is the socialism with Chinese characteristics works!
Reading all these comments makes me teary eyed, such genuine and beautiful encounters and experiences. I'm so happy people are finally waking up and understanding China
It is NOT only cities and the infrastructures in China are amazing. The most amazing thing I found is that China's effort of making a better world WHILE China was rising up. China helped Africa for many decades already, where the west once said Africa is beyond help but China see otherwise.
London has I believe the most camera's in Europe, around 700.000. Doesn't seem to help them that much 😂 It's all about how they are used. In china they are used for a good cause, nobody would dare to steal something in china on the street, women can walk in safety at night. In london those camera's are not going to help you. Great video 😊
1984 my mate told me his mum got a job at the prison , she was shocked to see that theyv'e their own TV in the cell ..friday nites they have movies and a gym ! so , my point is when prison is not a deterrent, crime pays! and since then , uk has open prison , warden doing porn with prisoners ( not kidding , only 2 months ago - check that out! ) and this week they are releasing them early as all the prisons are too full . go figure !
@@UKkenny Using prisons as a deterrence doesn’t work. The USA has a harsh system of punishing prisoners, but 80% of those prisoners commit more crimes after prison. In contrast, Norway focuses on REFORMING prisoners, so only 20% of prisoners there commit crimes after prison. That’s what works: using prisons to REFORM prisoners, making them into law-abiding citizens.
Exactly right, China consists of 57 ethnic groups but they are all Chinese living in harmony together despite of their differences in religion, culture, dialects. Muslims are living together with Buddhist and Christians in harmony as they all belong to one nation. The west has criticized how China restored peace and stability in Xinjiang and the west is now the one who are disintegrating, castigating Muslims demonizing them as they destroy their culture.
A fantastic summary, Harvey! I admire you for still visiting China despite all the negative reports on China in the West. There's truly no way to know a country unless you visit it yourself
Thank you for setting the record straight! A warrior against the BBC Goliath. But not a lone warrior. Many like your good self who have visited China are speaking up. Citizen journalists unite!!!
I go to China regularly on business, every 2 to 3 months and what you say is 100% correct. The real China is nothing like betrayed in the west. If it was not for the language barrier, I would happily live in China. It is so safe and so welcoming and I get the feeling the authorities really do care about the people and they trying to make their life better, unlike Western politicians who only care about themselves and how they can line their pockets.
It's very nice of you as a young person who has decided to find the truth yourself instead of believing in what you learned from the Western media. Thanks for your objective observations. Hope you continue to enjoy your time in China and discover more about our culture and places.

I live in Canada and have lost all respect for my country and the larger empire we exist in. Everything we are allowing to happen, and even directly fueling, in Gaza is so indefensibly evil that I am going to be cheering on the decline of our empire for the rest of my life. I was told, my entire life, that we are special and unique, that we don't commit the most heinous of crimes against humanity like those other guys. Not only is this emphatically not true now, but if you understand an iota of history over the last 500 years of European colonialism and Imperialism, you'll know that has never been true. The grip we have over the world has always been there, it's only changed formed and existed under the guise of different ideological justifications through time.

Harvey, this is the first time I'm watching your revelations about China. Thanks to someone sharing this with me! I shall start sharing this kind of information with everyone. God bless!
In general China is developing country but not poor country anymore, it needs to equlize life standard of all provinces upto tier 1 n 2 cities , then it can be called a developed country already. I go there 1 or 2 times a year in past 20+ years and I eyewitness it's progress.
I was studying in the UK over ten years nearly forty plus year ago. I am from Hong Long. I went back few years ago to see places where I used to study. It seems that the culture, the places have stood still nearly 50 years. China was so poor and had been brutally oppressed over two centuries. As Hong Kong Chinese we could not figure out too how China has been able to arrive at the situation today. Billions of people have worked hard and fought for the nations to achieve the incredible. Hopefully China could continue to help many countries to grow and to be united instead of fighting and quarrelling as a way to survive. Everyone needs wisdom as well as hard work to live. Thank you for your channel.
Criminals everywhere fear cameras..they can't carry out their plans. Cameras love criminals , cameras are not interested in law abiding citizens. Love your video. Cheers from S'pore 🍻
I had a very similar eye-opening journey myself through the years. It might take a very long time to leave behind the shackles put on us by the corporate media concerning China and other socialist countries. I had to study the language, live there, and only after years of study and experience I have managed to reach a better understanding of the country and its history. For me, the final nail in the coffin for the clownish approach by Western media and politics was how China was treated during the Covid-19 pandemic. After that, I have absolutely no respect whatsoever for anything related to China that comes out of those "sources".
as a Chinese who'd been living oversea for more than a decade, i growing up having to lie and slander my own country, just so people dont treat me like a paid troll communist, and pay the slightest respect to what i say on the topic of my own experience. i was just too depressed back then.
@@dualidea According to their tourist board anyone can travel there, it may just be US citizens that's not allowed go but I think everyone else is allowed, Il look into it more.
On his recent book tour for his personal memoir, Kishore Mahbubani shared his own travelling experience as a young man through southeast Asia. He asked Singapore youths to go live abroad in other ASEAN countries for a year, to broaden their views and experience. Young people across the world should take advantage of China's current visa free travel policy if they can afford it. The experience will challenge their view of the world.
Bumped into your program. I watched it to the end. Gladly, you speak honestly for what you have seen or experienced personally … carry on and wish you well & the best 😊in your life.
Everyone criticizing the CCP never understood the concept of “水能载舟，亦能覆舟“/the water(the mass) can carry the boat, it can also sink the boat”. There is a check and balance between the people and the government. To think the Chinese people are oppressed into accepting a dictatorship is western arrogance. The Chinese people chose to accept a centralized government which existence depends on its performance for the benefit of the people. The constitution grants Americans the protection of weapons against a tyrannical government. The chinese has sheer numbers, 1.4 billion.
@@edisonchin2463 For the past 5000 years, Chinese people have started revolutions to overthrow the authorities if they no longer accept the government/royalties. There are 1.4 billion Chinese citizens, so no government will survive if the people didn’t allow it to be. The people understand the power in numbers, so does the government. To answer your question, the fact that the current government still exists is evidence of acceptance by the majority. It doesn’t matter what type of government it is, it only matters that it works for China and its citizens. If you want to be technical, I’m Chinese American and I don’t remember American citizens signed anything in particular to accept the two-party system either.
@@edisonchin2463 Chinese people's revolution of anti-feudalism, anti-colonialism and anti-imperialism was partly, if not largely, led by the CPC. People have chosen their side by the time the civil war got started in 1945. It gave the CPC the legitimacy, as long as the party can promote people's life quality. If not, like the saying above, "the water(the mass) can carry the boat, it can also sink the boat." We are not obsessed with the concept of "centralized" government or not, provided it is still working.
Well done on visiting China while still a young adult!!. It truly is a remarkable country!! My biggest regret in life is that I failed to take up the opportunity to go to China as a young man and I didn't get another chance until 30 years later when I was middle aged. I subsequently had the best 15 years of my life in China, but I am now back in the West. However, I return to China frequently to rejuvenate my spirits and I look forward to going back again very soon. China is so unlike its western portrayal in the MSM and well done for noticing this and brining it to the attention of younger Westerners (and others) like yourself! Visit and (preferably) live in China if you want to get to know the place, its peoples and various cultures! Great vlog !
Here is why some of the reasons West afraid of China? 1) Manufacturing superiority over US. 2) Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) = WEST failed BBBW 3) Better Infrastructure > US collapsing infrastructure & deteriorating public facilities. 4) Beidou = GPS. 5) Heavenly space station International space station. 6) China Cheap Electric Vehicle (EV) > US internal combustion engine & Expensive EV. 7) Huawei 5G & coming 6G > US 4G & 4.5G 8) China lifted 850 millions people out of poverty > US incredible surge in homeless & surging middle class poverty. 9) China strict Drugs and Guns Rules US drugs addiction and Guns violence mass shooting. Safety problems 10) China strict anti corruption laws > US disguise political corruptions by lobbvist as nolitical donations.
Well done! Very analytical backed with facts! Those who are so critical about China must open their eyes and minds by visiting there for yourself. Don’t be like a frog living inside a well ! Very appreciative of your video showing the truth! 🌹🌹🌹🙏🙏🙏❤️
I really want to convey that although the message the video paints out is of course not wrong and valuable for people under media missinformation of China to understand, it doesn't paint out the whole picture. However great being able to see the bright side of China to the once misinformed people is, you shouldn't suddently change opinion on the country from absolutely anti-China to pro-China. The key is always to understand the whole picture instead of just taking sides, especially in this age of time where internet misinformation is massive. Just like anyone can tell that there are good parts and bad parts to their own country, the goal of understanding China is the same. If there are bright side in what I like, then we should find the same for others, and at the same time, when feeling disappointed by aspects of our own country or community, please be aware of that there are disappointing parts in other countries or community too. I'm a Chinese myself, and unlike the video's message, or how many Chinese out there would've express their view on China, my view on her is always a love and hate situation. And I believe it should've been natural for people to have such feeling towards their country, community or cultures, but many who absorb such information and do comment on the internet rarely have that. And I'm tired of it, there is always that "you either have to hate it in every aspect or love it in every aspect", it's always happening in the Western communities. Like for example on this topic of portraying China, people are either expressing how much China is a distopia, or expressing how much they came to realize that China actually is ideal to live in in many aspect, and while also criticizing the whatever home country. Rarely do I see people criticising China, while pointing out that there are better things in them, or the other way around. And of course it isn't just happening in Western world, and in fact, the reason I'm willing to write so much about it is because how badly such polarization of the internet is happening in China on the Chinese internet environment. Every time that I encounter video of simular content like this, for example all the criticism on Western media for the Wukong game came out recently, there are like over fifty percent commenters Chinese. And what they would comment are only how perfect the game really is to them or along side others to criticize western media even more, it's ridiculous. Please always remind our selves that there are always a lot more great things out there, there aren't any complete best or worst, and there aren't any complete right or wrongs.
“Safe” is relative by the way. I have been robbed in Guilin and Xi An before. The living condition and the actual experience in China is complicated. Not saying everything is all bad or all good. It is more in the grey area in between. In Chinese culture there is a concept of doing things for the greater good and the government (it’s kinda perversed to just mean the party now) is like your mother and you never show disrespect to your parents. For example “the great infrastructure” you see in China in tier 1 cities is at the cost of destroying history and culture. Many houses that were built in the dynastic periods or hubs of traditional Chinese culture was torn down to build that. Also pollution reduction, it is true air pollution had been reduced, but pollution had been increased in other areas. For example, the advent of bikeshare and EV taxis in China created a lot of fraudulent businesses that will establish these businesses to get the government subsidies and abandon the business causes landfills in China to be filled with brand new EVs and ebikes. Sure you can’t blame the government when private businesses want to scam money until you realize many of those businesses are actually owned by local politicians. Politicians in China often front run government policies to rake up business opportunities. Another example of this is during COVID the companies that produced the vaccines and COVID test kits in China are all owned by politicians. Also during lockdown period they temporarily implemented a policy of government subsidized food courts. Guess who suddenly established a bunch of new catering businesses right before that policy passed? Once again, local politicians. Also the thing regarding ethnic diversity in China. Yes China is ethnically diverse but very few of the people in the “minority culture centers” in China are actually the ethnicity they are performing as. They are all Han Chinese. It is on record on CCTV a Mongolian news anchor broke out in tears while still have to put up a smiling face when she had to report on a news that implied the government is Han washing Inner Mongolia and getting rid of the local Mongolian culture and heritage. China is complicated. There are three worlds that exists there. The world of people that can’t speak Chinese or don’t have full understanding of nuances in Chinese, the world of the middle class and higher/poorer people that directly benefited from Chinese image building policies, then finally there is the world of the people that live in poverty, is a racial minority, or have ancestry that are linked with people that were anti communist party. There is a reason why if you talk with local people of the older generation that lives in tier 1 cities, they don’t have a lot good to say about the government if they are allowed to speak anonymously. It seems like I listed out a lot of bad points but there are good points. The good point is, if you can afford to live in tier 1 cities and do not have morale/political opinions. Just living an everyday life where you just work, eat, and play. Don’t say anything that would accidentally insult the Chinese (which is difficult since there was a Chinese cosplayer that got arrested before for cosplaying, saying that wearing Japanese clothing in China is an insult to the Chinese people). The. China is a great place to live. It is safe. It is convenient. Average cost of living isn’t super high other than housing prices. Just don’t think about at what cost the country did to achieve it, because it is all for the greater good. Source: I lived in China for ten years in both Shanghai and Beijing. I am fluent in the language. My wife and her family is from the poorer areas of China and her parents directly benefited from one of the party’s “image building policies”.
I'm a little older than you and can vividly remember the scenes of China I saw from across its border with HongKong back in 1978. it was pathetic and dismal looking. Never in my wildest dreams could I have seen the transformation we see today that the people and government of China have accomplished.
Now this is a video I can get on board with. This was such a well-balanced video. Great ups! If you ever come to Shenzhen give me a shout, I'll be up for meeting up!
Here is why some of the reasons West afraid of China? 1) Manufacturing superiority over US. 2) Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) = WEST failed BBBW 3) Better Infrastructure > US collapsing infrastructure & deteriorating public facilities. 4) Beidou = GPS. 5) Heavenly space station International space station. 6) China Cheap Electric Vehicle (EV) > US internal combustion engine & Expensive EV. 7) Huawei 5G & coming 6G > US 4G & 4.5G 8) China lifted 850 millions people out of poverty > US incredible surge in homeless & surging middle class poverty. 9) China strict Drugs and Guns Rules US drugs addiction and Guns violence mass shooting. Safety problems 10) China strict anti corruption laws > US disguise political corruptions by lobbvist as nolitical donations.
2+ years? I thought you arrived last week. China will change your view-not this year, not the next. I also remember myself pretending not to see what was obvious to my Chinese friends. I remember how I was blinded by the shining lights of the same cities you're exploring now. I remember how I loved believing their BS, how I was fascinated by the language, the culture, the food, and the people... it felt like life in paradise. Then, after about 10 years, the lie started to collapse. It became harder and harder to justify all the nonsense I was seeing there. I know you're not ready to hear this, so enjoy your time there, young man.
just let it sink in, telling truth is labelled as propaganda and lying is considered free speech, it’s a crazy world we are living in today

No such thing as a perfect city/country but I must say what Chinese govt were able to achieve with 1.4B people and from an agricultural backward economy to arrive to what it is today is a monumental achievement of epic proportions. That you have to give full credit to the Chinese govt and its hardworking, high saving , smart people. No country has come close to what they have achieved in 3 decades. They have now arrived on the world stage with pride. Congrats.
No, as a Chinese I will not give any credit to the CCP, and especially not the Xi Jinping led CPP. Do you know what happened in the cultural revolution? Do you know what happened on 1989 June 4th? Do you know there are literal slave labor camps in Myanmar and Cambodia set up by Chinese triads and protected by the CCP? Do you know they are shipping fentanyl and its precursors to the Mexican and Columbian cartels? CCP is nothing but the biggest and most powerful triad in China. They are a criminal organization that took power, that's all, and Chinese will never be free under their rule.

On Chinese students. Im in advertising in Malaysia. I was once approached by a UK college to plan a campaign to attract Malaysian Chinese students to their college. Upon asking and discussing with the UK college's middle person (agency) i learned that the reduction of Chinese students to UK isnt only affecting their income, but most importantly, affecting the rankings of the UK colleges! That dawn on me, the rankings attract Asian students, and the Asian student's higher school fees supports the school, but also the Asian students were the top scorers that uplifts the rankings of these schools!
Yeah tbh honest UK is totally dependent on asian and russian money lol. China is the main key player in UK because mainland chinese student go to uk and buy apartment and spend in their country and other asian countries like singapore, malaysia, thailand, vietnam and india international students go uk to spend their money and get a degree. Most western country is bankrupt already as they print more money and yet UK is trying to act tough towards asian and think they can still compete with China
But most European countries are anti Asian!They want your money but they despises and hate you!

I lived in Toronto for 4 years. It is the most depressing, melancholy, sad and cold city I’ve ever been to. Impossible to make friends, everyone is out for themselves. Everything is ultra expensive. It’s all grey and concrete. Literally the worst place I’ve ever lived.
I am German and I live in China for more than 5 years. It is sad how China is portrayed in the western media. And it is actually even more sad that so many people buy into it. The thing is that many westerners think that in the west propaganda doesn’t exist. Because they believe they live in a democracy in the free world. But yeah it is so wrong. Believe me.
As a German living in Germany I can tell you one thing. Germans often talk no good about China. Especially because of the media. But in contrast if you ask Chinese about Germany, they normally are showing a very positive attitude. They talk about how great the technology is in Germany and the social system. So do you see the difference??
This is just one thing. There is so much I would like to say about it.
China is an amazing country and I can tell anybody. If you didn’t even visit China and really experience the culture, you have no right to judge about this country.

So stop judging or take a flight and see it for yourself and then make your judgement. I can tell you that the western media is full of lies and frames this country constantly as evil and bad and terrible to create a narrative. That is why there are so many misconceptions about China. And that is due to their political agenda.
In fact, this kind of misunderstanding harms those who accept it, not the ones being misunderstood. As Chinese people in Germany share their experiences, more and more Chinese are beginning to gain a more comprehensive understanding of Germany. This won't affect China's development. The media's dedication to discrediting China only dumbs down the people of its own country. It's so foolish.
i took a class my sophomore year of college and didnt realize we'd be traveling to china until halfway through the 1 semester. we had an incident right before leaving where some of the tibetan students were prohibited from going. this along with my general disinterest in china at all especially compared to my interest in other parts of asia, particularly korea and japan, i didnt have a good impression at all. but oh my god was i dead wrong. i was able to travel to all 3 countries on the same trip and by far, BY FAR, china was the most enjoyable. it genuinely reshaped my entire life. i went to the great wall which was the coolest experience ever, it felt like climbing on something from a dream. and even though we had to wear masks upon arrival, the air can actually be so clean!!! i dont know how to explain it. everything was just so open and spacious. compare that to the super narrow streets of tokyo or the huge skyscrapers in seoul, tbh, it felt really sterile sometimes. not that there isnt places like that in china too, but because everything is so open, it doesnt feel suffocating. we went during the lunar new year so there were beautiful lights everywhere you went, antique looking shops that felt so surreal, such wide open walkable areas with absolutely no traffic, with natural vegetation, but also mixed with traditional and modern designs. everything felt so clean but not in a sterile way. and it just felt like a real place with real people. and the food was insanely good. some of the best noodles and dumplings i have ever had in my entire life at the most random spots in some random ally. chinese food is so diverse yet so unique. but it was 1000000x better in china than in the u.s where im from. i will NEVER forget the most delicious peking duck experience i had, or the insane hot pot i had at global harbor mall in shanghai. that country is absolutely being demonized by people who have no damn clue what theyre talking about. its been 7 years now and i am aching to go back.

I genuinely regret following warmongers and their medias for over a decade but now I am an enlightened one and I am proud of this. Thanks, Harvey for spreading the truth we HUMANS deserve to know.
The following article is written by Ismail Bashmori, he is an Egyptian China watcher.
The truth is that China is the greatest country on the face of the earth. It makes all other countries look insignificant and contemptible. It is the most brilliant, most industrious, most ambitious, most educated, meritocratic and technocratic, most modern, sophisticated, and civilised, and best-governed by far.
It is the first non-white, non-Western country to reach this status since the 1600s. The determination of this country is indescribable. Supernatural. There is no force that can stop it from accomplishing anything it wants to do. 。
It doesn’t matter who we are. Egyptians, Syrians, Pakistanis, Indians, Africans, even Americans. Next to the Chinese, we are pathetic. We can’t do what they do. We would have a mountain, an Everest of changes to make, and we would whine and bicker and fail at every one of them. China’s story since the 1980s has been one of an almost divine metamorphosis. 。
Next to China the entire Western world from Alaska to New Zealand has stagnated. Next to China the entire developing world from Brazil to Madagascar has progressed only at a crawl.
China is the mother of all gargantuan bullet trains. Every day it manages to create something new and astonishing. And unlike the United States, unlike the British Empire, unlike the French, Dutch, Germans, Spanish, Portuguese or any other Western nation that had its turn at being a superpower in the past four centuries, China doesn’t need to run anybody over or take something from somebody else, to rise majestically.
China is also standing up to the West all by herself. The West can’t believe their four-hundred-year-old global supremacy is being challenged. They hoped that the more China developed, the more it would submit to their influence, interests, and leadership. That didn’t happen. So now they will do anything possible, short of a nuclear war, to make China end.
Their goal is to destroy this country. That’s why, although the United States has killed several million people and turned several regions of the earth into hellscapes.
China is the worst fear of our planet’s Western masters. They want you to despise and dread a country that’s done nothing to you, that hasn’t invaded anyone, bombed or sanctioned anyone, that hasn’t overthrown any foreign government, or used its military on anything since 1979.
China is the only major country in the nonwhite developing world, to stand up to the West. To look it in the eye when challenged or threatened.
The Global South are simply Western puppets who submitted long ago. Even the most powerful ones. Saudi Arabia, Brazil, India.

The Western propaganda machine is not only used to further the Western imperialists' agenda but also used as a tool to control their own Western population. This is how they maintain control and get their people to give consent to all the atrocities Western imperialism is inflicting around the world.

@@UKkenny
Using prisons as a deterrence doesn’t work. The USA has a harsh system of punishing prisoners, but 80% of those prisoners commit more crimes after prison. In contrast, Norway focuses on REFORMING prisoners, so only 20% of prisoners there commit crimes after prison.
That’s what works: using prisons to REFORM prisoners, making them into law-abiding citizens.

Exactly right, China consists of 57 ethnic groups but they are all Chinese living in harmony together despite of their differences in religion, culture, dialects. Muslims are living together with Buddhist and Christians in harmony as they all belong to one nation.

The grip we have over the world has always been there, it's only changed formed and existed under the guise of different ideological justifications through time.
Imagine China now 😣👌👍👏🏻
China has 56 ethnicities !
In China ,
Majority and Minorities are treated The Same way and No One is left behind .
Did you never heard how China treats Uiguhrs? You shouldnt comment on anything, you havent checked.
@@jshshqjyjuk What about you? You even spelled Uygurs incorrectly
In fact China is "unfriendly" to Han people because ethnic minorities have more privileges.
实际上在中国少数民族享受比汉族更多的待遇，1，计划生育时期，汉族只能生一胎，少数民族法定的可以二胎（而实际情况是大部分少数民族也都是少数民族的在管理，他们实际上多生政府也没有过多干预）2，考大学少数民族有加分，20到30分不等，中国自古就有的要保护弱势群体，很多出去的藏独、疆独都是由美国的NGO供养的。
@@jshshqjyjuk ,
Actually , Minorites are treated better than Majority in China .
You should visit Uighurs people in Xin Jiang, Autonomous Region in China .
Don't make your Negative Comments before visiting Xin Jiang !
Your vid came out shortly after the House has passed 1.6B to deliver anti-China propaganda. It is very brave and honorable of you to tell truly what you feel about the issue. Hats off to you youngman! ❤
Meanwhile, our streets have potholes inside our pothoes that haven't been repaired for 30 months!
Good job Harvey ❤❤
very informative, thank you!
I haven't visited china but I'm glad you put this video out.
China in the media: North Korea + a side of racism
China in reality: Futuristic City + a side of amazing
Thanks for sharing and surfacing the truth. 👏👍
Harvey, this is the first time I'm watching your revelations about China. Thanks to someone sharing this with me! I shall start sharing this kind of information with everyone. God bless!
Thank You for your information. We will visit China this coming holiday😊
Well said Harvey👍
In general China is developing country but not poor country anymore, it needs to equlize life standard of all provinces upto tier 1 n 2 cities , then it can be called a developed country already. I go there 1 or 2 times a year in past 20+ years and I eyewitness it's progress.
Hi Harvey, thanks for telling the real China you’ve seen to people. To support you, I watched all ads completely. Enjoy your stay in China.
I was studying in the UK over ten years nearly forty plus year ago. I am from Hong Long. I went back few years ago to see places where I used to study. It seems that the culture, the places have stood still nearly 50 years. China was so poor and had been brutally oppressed over two centuries. As Hong Kong Chinese we could not figure out too how China has been able to arrive at the situation today. Billions of people have worked hard and fought for the nations to achieve the incredible. Hopefully China could continue to help many countries to grow and to be united instead of fighting and quarrelling as a way to survive. Everyone needs wisdom as well as hard work to live. Thank you for your channel.
Criminals everywhere fear cameras..they can't carry out their plans. Cameras love criminals , cameras are not interested in law abiding citizens. Love your video. Cheers from S'pore 🍻
Well said. 👍 👋👋
Thank you for speaking out for the truth!
actually China is not “communist” country anymore.
China is more of a socialism country.
S'pore also a socialism country, but wrap with "democracy" .
Impartial statement
中国是国家资本主义，人民社会主义，所以叫做中国特色社会主义道路
I had a very similar eye-opening journey myself through the years. It might take a very long time to leave behind the shackles put on us by the corporate media concerning China and other socialist countries. I had to study the language, live there, and only after years of study and experience I have managed to reach a better understanding of the country and its history.
For me, the final nail in the coffin for the clownish approach by Western media and politics was how China was treated during the Covid-19 pandemic. After that, I have absolutely no respect whatsoever for anything related to China that comes out of those "sources".
as a Chinese who'd been living oversea for more than a decade, i growing up having to lie and slander my own country, just so people dont treat me like a paid troll communist, and pay the slightest respect to what i say on the topic of my own experience. i was just too depressed back then.
至少你可以拒绝回答。你可以有政治立场，有意识形态，有个人观点，但是你不能造谣污蔑歪曲事实。你现在感到内疚吗？你昧着良心迎合了他们，那他们现在接受你加入他们了吗？还是说你现在仍旧是他们取笑的对象，即便你这样讨好他们？
你也是普通人，没关系 母亲会原谅你的
@@曹向宇-e5q 你有什么资格替我们原谅他？慷他人之慨的人，说的就是你这种。既愚蠢又自私，就是因为有他们这种人，加上外国媒体的抹黑，才变成如今的局面，你有资格替我们原谅他？
I wonder how is life in North Korea. I am sure it's a lot better than the homeless people's lives in the West. Perhaps as good as the average.
That is something I would like to know more about too, it would be interesting to see tourists reporting from Nth Korea.
This world is not either North Korea or West democrap, like your authoritarian media have told you.
The US banned travel there so all I know is that we can't verify for ourselves
@@dualidea According to their tourist board anyone can travel there, it may just be US citizens that's not allowed go but I think everyone else is allowed, Il look into it more.
They are not rich, they live simple lives, but their joy and happiness are simple too.
On his recent book tour for his personal memoir, Kishore Mahbubani shared his own travelling experience as a young man through southeast Asia. He asked Singapore youths to go live abroad in other ASEAN countries for a year, to broaden their views and experience. Young people across the world should take advantage of China's current visa free travel policy if they can afford it. The experience will challenge their view of the world.
Thanks to your video messages Harvey, I’m no longer naïve. Love your videos and energetic messages.
Bedankt
You're dutch
Thank you!
Well said and very true indeed
Thanks for sharing such an amazing video.
Bumped into your program. I watched it to the end. Gladly, you speak honestly for what you have seen or experienced personally … carry on and wish you well & the best 😊in your life.
Seeing videos from the vloggers and such sources is entirely different from what one hears in medias its like difference of day and night
U know, that day when i woke up to d western hypnosis that I was under... That day was like... I was reborn.
Same. That occurred for me 5 years ago. I'm a new and better person to have woken up to the truth
Everyone criticizing the CCP never understood the concept of “水能载舟，亦能覆舟“/the water(the mass) can carry the boat, it can also sink the boat”. There is a check and balance between the people and the government. To think the Chinese people are oppressed into accepting a dictatorship is western arrogance. The Chinese people chose to accept a centralized government which existence depends on its performance for the benefit of the people. The constitution grants Americans the protection of weapons against a tyrannical government. The chinese has sheer numbers, 1.4 billion.
Sry do remind me how exactly, in what way they chose to accept a centralized government?
@@edisonchin2463 For the past 5000 years, Chinese people have started revolutions to overthrow the authorities if they no longer accept the government/royalties. There are 1.4 billion Chinese citizens, so no government will survive if the people didn’t allow it to be. The people understand the power in numbers, so does the government.
To answer your question, the fact that the current government still exists is evidence of acceptance by the majority. It doesn’t matter what type of government it is, it only matters that it works for China and its citizens.
If you want to be technical, I’m Chinese American and I don’t remember American citizens signed anything in particular to accept the two-party system either.
@@edisonchin2463 Chinese people's revolution of anti-feudalism, anti-colonialism and anti-imperialism was partly, if not largely, led by the CPC. People have chosen their side by the time the civil war got started in 1945. It gave the CPC the legitimacy, as long as the party can promote people's life quality. If not, like the saying above, "the water(the mass) can carry the boat, it can also sink the boat." We are not obsessed with the concept of "centralized" government or not, provided it is still working.
@@edisonchin2463 lol my reply for you got deleted in minutes. so it isn't that there's no answer to your question. just not allowed on ytb.
@@fairyapril7910 understandable, TY.
Well done on visiting China while still a young adult!!. It truly is a remarkable country!! My biggest regret in life is that I failed to take up the opportunity to go to China as a young man and I didn't get another chance until 30 years later when I was middle aged. I subsequently had the best 15 years of my life in China, but I am now back in the West. However, I return to China frequently to rejuvenate my spirits and I look forward to going back again very soon. China is so unlike its western portrayal in the MSM and well done for noticing this and brining it to the attention of younger Westerners (and others) like yourself! Visit and (preferably) live in China if you want to get to know the place, its peoples and various cultures! Great vlog !
Here is why some of the reasons West afraid of China?
1) Manufacturing superiority over US.
2) Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) = WEST failed BBBW
3) Better Infrastructure > US collapsing infrastructure & deteriorating public facilities. 4) Beidou = GPS.
5) Heavenly space station International space station. 6) China Cheap Electric Vehicle (EV) > US internal combustion engine & Expensive EV.
7) Huawei 5G & coming 6G > US 4G & 4.5G
8) China lifted 850 millions people out of poverty > US incredible surge in homeless & surging middle class poverty.
9) China strict Drugs and Guns Rules US drugs addiction and Guns violence mass shooting. Safety problems
10) China strict anti corruption laws >
US disguise political corruptions by lobbvist as nolitical donations.
Well said Harvey, I’m likely heading back to China soon. It’d be good to connect 👍
@@OliBarrettTravel yes mate, for sure, let me know when you’re around. Great job on the new channel 👍
Hi Oli! Where hv u been always only saw your dad's postings. Miss you anyway.. Rgds
Man! This is some high quanlity video. Well done Harvey! Great choice of music also. Thank you for showing our country to the world!
Well done! Very analytical backed with facts! Those who are so critical about China must open their eyes and minds by visiting there for yourself. Don’t be like a frog living inside a well !
Very appreciative of your video showing the truth!
🌹🌹🌹🙏🙏🙏❤️
Great video thanks
I really want to convey that although the message the video paints out is of course not wrong and valuable for people under media missinformation of China to understand, it doesn't paint out the whole picture. However great being able to see the bright side of China to the once misinformed people is, you shouldn't suddently change opinion on the country from absolutely anti-China to pro-China. The key is always to understand the whole picture instead of just taking sides, especially in this age of time where internet misinformation is massive. Just like anyone can tell that there are good parts and bad parts to their own country, the goal of understanding China is the same. If there are bright side in what I like, then we should find the same for others, and at the same time, when feeling disappointed by aspects of our own country or community, please be aware of that there are disappointing parts in other countries or community too.
I'm a Chinese myself, and unlike the video's message, or how many Chinese out there would've express their view on China, my view on her is always a love and hate situation. And I believe it should've been natural for people to have such feeling towards their country, community or cultures, but many who absorb such information and do comment on the internet rarely have that. And I'm tired of it, there is always that "you either have to hate it in every aspect or love it in every aspect", it's always happening in the Western communities. Like for example on this topic of portraying China, people are either expressing how much China is a distopia, or expressing how much they came to realize that China actually is ideal to live in in many aspect, and while also criticizing the whatever home country. Rarely do I see people criticising China, while pointing out that there are better things in them, or the other way around. And of course it isn't just happening in Western world, and in fact, the reason I'm willing to write so much about it is because how badly such polarization of the internet is happening in China on the Chinese internet environment. Every time that I encounter video of simular content like this, for example all the criticism on Western media for the Wukong game came out recently, there are like over fifty percent commenters Chinese. And what they would comment are only how perfect the game really is to them or along side others to criticize western media even more, it's ridiculous. Please always remind our selves that there are always a lot more great things out there, there aren't any complete best or worst, and there aren't any complete right or wrongs.
Great job!
“Safe” is relative by the way. I have been robbed in Guilin and Xi An before. The living condition and the actual experience in China is complicated. Not saying everything is all bad or all good. It is more in the grey area in between. In Chinese culture there is a concept of doing things for the greater good and the government (it’s kinda perversed to just mean the party now) is like your mother and you never show disrespect to your parents. For example “the great infrastructure” you see in China in tier 1 cities is at the cost of destroying history and culture. Many houses that were built in the dynastic periods or hubs of traditional Chinese culture was torn down to build that. Also pollution reduction, it is true air pollution had been reduced, but pollution had been increased in other areas. For example, the advent of bikeshare and EV taxis in China created a lot of fraudulent businesses that will establish these businesses to get the government subsidies and abandon the business causes landfills in China to be filled with brand new EVs and ebikes. Sure you can’t blame the government when private businesses want to scam money until you realize many of those businesses are actually owned by local politicians. Politicians in China often front run government policies to rake up business opportunities. Another example of this is during COVID the companies that produced the vaccines and COVID test kits in China are all owned by politicians. Also during lockdown period they temporarily implemented a policy of government subsidized food courts. Guess who suddenly established a bunch of new catering businesses right before that policy passed? Once again, local politicians. Also the thing regarding ethnic diversity in China. Yes China is ethnically diverse but very few of the people in the “minority culture centers” in China are actually the ethnicity they are performing as. They are all Han Chinese. It is on record on CCTV a Mongolian news anchor broke out in tears while still have to put up a smiling face when she had to report on a news that implied the government is Han washing Inner Mongolia and getting rid of the local Mongolian culture and heritage. China is complicated. There are three worlds that exists there. The world of people that can’t speak Chinese or don’t have full understanding of nuances in Chinese, the world of the middle class and higher/poorer people that directly benefited from Chinese image building policies, then finally there is the world of the people that live in poverty, is a racial minority, or have ancestry that are linked with people that were anti communist party. There is a reason why if you talk with local people of the older generation that lives in tier 1 cities, they don’t have a lot good to say about the government if they are allowed to speak anonymously. It seems like I listed out a lot of bad points but there are good points. The good point is, if you can afford to live in tier 1 cities and do not have morale/political opinions. Just living an everyday life where you just work, eat, and play. Don’t say anything that would accidentally insult the Chinese (which is difficult since there was a Chinese cosplayer that got arrested before for cosplaying, saying that wearing Japanese clothing in China is an insult to the Chinese people). The. China is a great place to live. It is safe. It is convenient. Average cost of living isn’t super high other than housing prices. Just don’t think about at what cost the country did to achieve it, because it is all for the greater good.
Source: I lived in China for ten years in both Shanghai and Beijing. I am fluent in the language. My wife and her family is from the poorer areas of China and her parents directly benefited from one of the party’s “image building policies”.
I'm a little older than you and can vividly remember the scenes of China I saw from across its border with HongKong back in 1978. it was pathetic and dismal looking. Never in my wildest dreams could I have seen the transformation we see today that the people and government of China have accomplished.
Well said! 0:05 🙏🌹🌹Absolutely amazing and remarkable!
Thanks for sharing your experience and story, truly appreciated your insight and view.

Keep up the great work Harvey!
Yes, there is pollution. That is true. I have experienced that, but in spring and summer its so beautiful
Support you
Great video.
After watching your video all I that's left to say is: Thank you so much you've opened both my mind and eyes on how I see China.
几十年前中国确实不行，但经济发展了，一切都会好转。在评论自由方面，中国确实差。但看清楚美国，一样差。每个国家都有自己的特点，统治者们各有不同执着的地方。例如在伊朗是伊斯兰教的国家，女人上街不能露出面部，这要求并不难做，也无大害 ，被西方说成专制、不自由。新加坡还有“鞭刑”，西方怎么不说新加坡野蛮呢？
没有一个国家的制度生来完美，我们也要积极改进自己的社会。而不是指责别人、发动制裁、甚至战争去捣毁别人的家园。
Now this is a video I can get on board with. This was such a well-balanced video. Great ups!
If you ever come to Shenzhen give me a shout, I'll be up for meeting up!

2+ years? I thought you arrived last week. China will change your view-not this year, not the next. I also remember myself pretending not to see what was obvious to my Chinese friends. I remember how I was blinded by the shining lights of the same cities you're exploring now. I remember how I loved believing their BS, how I was fascinated by the language, the culture, the food, and the people... it felt like life in paradise. Then, after about 10 years, the lie started to collapse. It became harder and harder to justify all the nonsense I was seeing there. I know you're not ready to hear this, so enjoy your time there, young man.
