Mainland China VS Taiwan | What Taiwan does better than us | Mainland Chinese's Perspective

- In this video, I talked about what I like most about Taiwan as a Mainland Chinese. Although we have surpassed Taiwan in a lot of areas, there are still many places where Taiwan is doing a better job.
You can let me know whether you agree or disagree with me in the comment section below.
I hope one day, Mainland China could catch up in those areas as well.

Hey there mate, I'm so happy to see an honest and open opinion for once! I wholeheartedly agree with what you have said in this video, people like you are the reason I love China and still have great hope

Thanks Winston for giving Simon a shout out. He absolutely deserves it 👍👍👍👍
SerpentZA sent me ..
As a foreigner living in Taiwan for the last 20 years - I could not agree with you more .. I have made Taiwan my home because it is not only a great place to live - but it is actually better in my opinion to any of the many other places in the world I could choose to live and work .. I can live and work anywhere in Europe or Australia or New Zealand and I have chosen Taiwan. The Taiwanese are not just amazingly friendly - they are by far and away the most progressive country in Asia .. and arguably anywhere.. they managed to go from essentially a police state to a fully functional and robust democracy and elect a female president within the space of 25 years - something the US has still not achieved. 75% of people vote in general elections .. And Taiwan is the most progressive country in the region on many many things .. The first to legalize gay marriage, to outlaw the consumption of animals like dogs and cats, have essentially free national health care and all social services .. Even as a resident foreigner (but not a citizen) living in Taiwan I have all of these services.
The taxation is extremely reasonable. Actually I'd say too reasonable - they need to start to understand the transference of personal income tax to corporations. If you raise personal income tax and also raise the minimum wage - then corporations have to start paying people better for their time in order to maintain the same disposable income. Then the government gets more money to fund the social programs but the corporations are indirectly paying it - and there are a lot of large corporations in Taiwan who could be contributing more to the coffers. The individuals are no worse off - but the government has more money to pay the doctors and teachers and infrastructure costs etc..
If you look at pure GDP - yes China has dwarfed Taiwan - But there is an argument that a lot of that is based on massive infrastructure projects that may or may not be actually useful - but just to keep maintaining the economic growth - we'll see if that pans out in the longer term ..
However - I love Taiwan - this country has been good to me - and I have no desire to go anywhere else.
Keep up the good work.
i guess you wont get coronavirus
I can get a higher salary in China than I can in Taiwan. This applies to all South Africans including black South Africans, which is why South Africans prefer to come to China over Taiwan. This allows them to send money back to South Africa. I'm assuming you are South African based on your story.
Serpetnza is a fraud.
If you raise tax rate and raise minimum wage, both corporations and people will move to other countries.
@@Storm4155 No - I call myself mostly Australian .. My family are from NZ and I'm born in UK - but that is largely irrelevant - it is true I'm white Euro - which does change things .. But I think you're actually probably really wrong .. Most people I meet here from South Africa get paid commensurately (there is a certain bias on skin tone even here ) - but the difference between a "white" South African and any other "white" person is nothing .. The thing you're mistaking is marketing .. If you apply for a job from South Africa (whether it is to China, Taiwan, Australia, or anywhere - they're going to give you the ass-rate..)
When I applied to (an international company from where I was living in Canada) they offered me and my girlfriend a job in Taipei for (I think $450 an hour - in Taipei - the most expensive place in Taiwan by far) .. Fortunately I had friends in Taiwan and I said this is what they offered - he said WTF? - tell them to shove it come directly here and apply for a job when you get here .. Which we did ..
(This was 20 years ago - to be sure)
My first job off the "boat" got me $650 and hour going up $50 an hour every 6 months or so until I was on $800 an hour .. I stayed in this job for 15 years .. because with the cost of living in Tainan (about 1/3 of Taipei) .. But still a sizable city of nearly 1,000,000 .. The four story house I was living in (I like nice things) cost me about 5-6 days of my monthly wages ..
I'd like to tell you how SO completely wrong you are - but you'd likely not even believe me - so I'll not waste my time .. Enjoy China.
Here's a view through the window of our 9th floor fun space - we have the whole floor and basically use it for playing games .. it's about 100 ping if you know what that means .. and it costs me about 1 weeks salary .. this is not my apartment - this is our "fun house" -
facebook.com/wanderinglinton/posts/10161216641810624
If you can tell me that you can have this place and an apartment and still only work 4 hours a day / 5 days a week and still have money to burn .. okay..

As Japanese, I was staying in China when I was an exchange student and also traveled to Taiwan.
You are very true. The most annoying thing in China for me is "meaningless" security check and disorganized train system.
No matter how fast high-speed-train runs, these factors delay time arriving destination. Door-to-door time must be a big difference between Japan an China from my experience
你觉得毫无意义?你们日本又没有极端穆斯林
Excellent video, I am a mainland Chinese and I totally agree with your opinions. I never been to Taiwan but I would love to go in the future. Wish both mainland and Taiwan could have peaceful relationship and our people will have more opportunities to get to know each other better.. thanks!
@ahjotson ahjotson Not sure you will be very welcome in Taiwan with that attitude 😂
@UCUGnK1vZENDa5Hvw28q74Vg It's a natural human reaction not wanting to be friends with a country constantly threatening you with a military invasion, trying hard to hurt your economy, blackmailing those who want to be your friends, and paying trolls to remind you every day of your life that they want to kill you or rape you.
@ahjotson ahjotson LOL Nathan Rich, are you serious? You should be ashamed of your country's willingness to pay white people (and even Taiwanese) to appear on Chinese media praising "the Mainland". And most important of all, what does this have to do with my comment, you dumb wumao?
Hey Ho Don’t worry as most Taiwanese tolerant this attitude very generously.
However,I never wanna visit taiwan,most of taiwanese especially youngly never recognized they are chinese,lots of them have deep prejudice or hatred to mainland
英文說的真好,流暢且用詞正確少贅詞,萬分佩服
Totally agreed.
根據聯合國統計,2019臺灣的幸福指數是全球亞洲第一,我不知道這準不準,畢竟臺灣紛擾也很多,但我們還是很用心在生活,就像螺絲釘一樣做好自己的本位,當然心中更希望臺灣未來會更棒,不要求什麼都是頂尖,只要求社會和諧,安居樂業,政府可以更完整的照顧每位人民。
幸福指数跟宗教有很大原因,比如台湾的民主教,不丹的喇嘛教,朝鲜的共产教,活在自己的世界里当然最幸福了,迷之自信油然而生。
在台灣我沒聽過民主教,但民主與自由卻是隨手可得,台灣信甚麼教都是個人自由意願,但就是不能傷人與害人。
台灣不管哪裡過日子是過生活。
中國城市過日子實際是在作戰,沒兩樣的。而鄉下過日子則更是像求生。所以中國到處都能感覺到"殺氣"。
在台灣 我很幸福
这个应该是真的
That's a great and realistic perspective. I have lived in China for 10 years and spent 8 months in Taiwan. Everything you said is right on point, great content!
Me and my family have visited Taiwan twice from Australia and we have found the people to be way more friendly than people in my country and very helpful. We haven't been to China but unfortunately at the National Taiwan Museum in Taipei we had chinese tourists push my wife out of their way and push my son on a seat so they could sit and yelled at him to move 🙄
Now, China government doesn't allow its people visiting to Taiwan. They try to affect the tourism industry of Taiwan and push us to be a part of China.
I am Japanese. I often travel to Taiwan. When I was in Taiwan last week and I was having trouble using the coin locker at Kaohsiung station, the woman told me how to follow.
I am a Chinese, raised to hate Japan. The very moment I learnt English and knew how to circumvent the internet only then I realized that the war is long over.
Many around still believe our CCP propaganda that Japan is always at the brink of invading China.
but i think there is no point to dwell in the atrocities that a handful few committed almost a hundred years ago. besides back then Japan society was pretty much like the society in China today; they cannot question what ever propaganda they are being fed. i for one cannot and will not hate an entire race for the actions of a few dead people.
mentally China is a 100 years behind the global society and CCP has taken the entire Chinese populace hostage with their hateful self preserving agenda by creating non existent enemies to dwarf, overlook and hide their own shortcomings.
meanwhile, love and regards to Japan. the more i am told to hate u the more i realized how admirable u are when i studied my supposed enemy.
our greatest enemy is our own ignorance and pride. nobody else.
wow didnt know alot of japanese travel to china and taiwan
@@steve00alt70 yes, Japanese loves Taiwan!!
@John Titor lmao are you really this ignorant? what did he say to make you mad? all he said that he didn't know that Japanese people travel in big sizes to china and Taiwan?
Because you are Japanese, Taiwanese learned how to hate Chinese from young, they do not think they are Chinese, it is fine, but if you treat people rude, people will do the same, this is what happened in Taiwan
I really appreciate this guy, his ideas, his attitude, and his willingness to speak out. I wish more of us had this courage.

Simon, I was stunned by your video and decided to subscribe immediately.
1. You are probably the type of young generation in China I am expecting for long time. Finally, I am so excited to see more and more people from mainland China become immune to the brainstorming by China government and learn to embrace critical thinking.
2. As a Taiwanese, I feel kind of embarrassed because some of your comments on Taiwan to me are a bit overrated. However, I will definitely take it as a complement as I do believe for decades it is all these imperfect things that make the Island perfect.
Finally, I'm so glad to see more people in China appreciate the difference between the Straits.
3. Where did you pick up your English? Your English really put many Taiwanese youngsters to shame. Hope your video set a good example and more Taiwanese students will motivated by your video to improve their English.
Simon, it is a great pleasure to see your videos have been certified by many of the well-know youtubers (such as serpentza, lifeintaiwan, laowhy86) so proud of you!!
Keep up with the great work!!!

Hi Simon, you're indeed a rare gem in China, your supporter from Singapore.
There were some points that he couldnt understand lol from my perspective as a Singaporean. Should I write to Simon and see how he thinks? especially the meaningless security checks and police officers patrolling, in Singapore we have those things, those things make us feel safe.

@@misterdd7239 been in taiwan and they do similar stuff, i dont get how its different? And when i visited taiwan my experience is that their people (those who are working) are under some good amount of stress, they are well, pretty intimidating.

I'm a westerner and I'm glad I finally found a Chinese UA-camr talking about Taiwan. So far I mostly came across Westerners living in Taiwan.
Since I'm well aware that as foreigners, we get extra care and attention from the locals, I wanted to know how a Chinese person really feels about life in Taiwan. I'm trying to convince my partner (who's Chinese) to try move to Taiwan.
Your content is very interesting. And the insight you provide from an asian point of view is priceless. Thank you.

不要过度美化台湾食品安全问题。。。请搜索一下台湾食品安全的相关报道。 你便清楚。 基于大陆参考的基数比台湾要多得多,按照人口数做参照,理论上来说,出现食品安全问题的概率要比台湾多60倍。
按照国土面积做参照,出现食品安全概率的问题要比台湾多266倍。这样计算,大陆食品安全会大概率的暴露出更多的问题。。。你说我说的对吗。不要因为台湾小,跟大陆那么大那么多人地方比正面或负面的概率。

True honest review. However, comparing Taiwan with China who is just 40 years into it's reformation is unfair. China has been through hell, the fruits if it's endeavor and hard work is just coming to light in recent years. China didn't have the time, peace and economy to evolve it's society like Taiwan. With better education and more exposure China is improving every year, but it will take a generation or two before there can be a fair comparison. China's recent achievements and progress however, is commentable and should be appreciated.

我是一個台灣人,感謝版主的台灣分享,但是有些東西我對你的想法是有些意見的。我也有去過大陸旅遊,其實大陸的硬體建設我覺得相對的比台灣好一點,當然我指的是大城市,有些的整體規劃相對的比台灣好很多,但是人文素質這方面的確台灣人比大陸的人會好一點,至於為什麼可能是因為台灣比較獨立一點,經過教育跟教化的關係台灣的文明程度的確有一步一步提升的感覺,可能是島小人口也少,再加上教育的關係,其實你都認為台灣的人素質很高,因為之前我常跑日本,我覺得還好,日本人的素質就真的高到不行。大陸有很多東西其實是不可以跟台灣來類比的,土地面積廣大人口眾多,很多硬體軟體本來就不可以同時類比,但是相信在教育文化上可以一步一步的慢慢做到,文明的進程本來就需要時間,本來就很難一蹴可及,像我小的時候在台灣即時坐公車也都是用擠的沒有在排隊,服務態度也不是很好,但是在這二三十年來的確有變化,所以真的不能急。不過話雖如此在大陸尤其是上海壓力真的覺得好大,但是因為是旅遊,因為時間不多,看到的面向不是很廣,但是真的無須去否定大陸很多方面的建設,以及人文的變化,慢慢來會有改變的,為什麼我要在這邊寫留言,因為你的視頻會讓人些台灣的年輕人,對大陸產生排擠跟反感,所以我常常會跟台灣的年輕人說,同一個太陽底下,每個人的生活方式不一樣,想法也會不一樣,做法也會不一樣,過的生活也會不一樣,正因為如此,你要去學習對方的優點,要警惕對方的缺點,要正視自己的優點,要改正自己的缺點,這才會讓我們本身這個人,處於一個正向循環的進步,而不會故步自封坐井觀天。我常在網路上看到很多比較的視頻,其實真的不用太過於比較,只要勇敢的邁出去,世界會因為你的包容,而讓你的世界變得越來越廣大。
說得真的很好,我是台灣人,我常居大陸很多年了,這兩邊真的無法類比,也別拿出單個選項去做辯駁,各有各的優、缺點。而台灣人應該走出小島,開闊眼界,用不一樣的胸懷看世界。
很正面的一則評論,謝謝!
说的太好了,个人觉得版主虽然是大陆人,却在用有色眼镜看大陆,很不厚道
我也覺得中國會進步,但是目前就是這個樣子,但是你可以包容是你的想法,別人不能包容就有錯嗎?既然如此有錯就要改善,而不是奢望別人的包容,假如每個人都如此包容,社會是不會進步。請好好詳讀,人不為己,天誅地滅。天地不仁,以萬物為芻狗。
Dennis Chou 很同意,不能用有色眼睛去看待
I don't think it's true that standard of living or wages in mainland Chinese cities are the same as Taiwan. Taiwan's GDP per capita is still 2.5 times larger than China. Chinese cities are very modern, but the people still earn less than Taiwanese people.
Yes, it is. The more interesting thing is that Taiwan's GDP per capita is three times higher than mainland China, whereas, the per income of Taiwan is five times higher than mainland China. Chinese people have to pay more taxes and enjoy less welfare such as medical care and retire pension. And the government say we are a communist country, but they share very less responsibility for their people.
Taiwan is great,but develops slowly.Ten years from now,China will be better.
李博然 it’s hard to change the people that will take a generation.
In the tier 1 and 2 cities the mainland Chinese do earn far more than what people in Taiwan earn. Please listen more carefully.
Yes overall due to the huge population difference (70x more) Taiwan still earns more.
@@jyashin 40% of Taiwan's GDP were produced in mainland China. Just look it up.
I always heard good things about Taiwan 🇹🇼 and my Chinese colleagues told me Taiwan is safe and people are very friendly.
As a Chinese had been living and traveling throughout the mainland China for over 20 years, I 100% agree with Simon’s descriptions, especially the common courtesy state.

I've lived both in China and Taiwan and aggree 100% with your assessment. It just comes to show that GDP isn't everything. Also, college campuses in Taiwan are full of life, whereas in China there's a lot of tight security controls for who can come in and out of the campus and at what hours...it's just so much more social amd open in Taiwan. :)
And therefore less crime in mainland's college campuses.

No david, you were saying the same old excuses like every hardcore loyalist mainlander does *and* i actualy *have* seen your name in comment sections of multiple videos that are about china in any way or form.
I'm not dealing with this wumao bullshit today.
你應該講講台灣醫院,健保,看病,
Kid, it does not matter which you feel is better, which gives you more of you need, it is how much you contribute to make them better.
I enjoyed living in HK, Singapore and Canada after graduation, I felt they were all better than China. Then suddenly I realized that China achieved a huge change but I did not do anything for it. I enjoyed my life here and there, I enjoyed critisizing China but I have done nothing to make it better and it is already better.
Enjoy your life.
I agree with you! Taiwan is home home!! Freedom is most important thing for human. Thank you like Taiwan and this video. #台灣
理性又客觀,支持你!台灣是很歡迎不同地方的大家😆
The changing is achieved from generation to generation, it took me many years to lead my grandma knows how to line up in the queue when I was in primary school as my school teacher taught me to do so.
Hey bro, nice to watch a person like you who is very honest and talking straightforward, i like this channel. Kudos to you! Keep it up!
I’ve been in china over 3 years and I never wanted to go to China again.
And I knew exactly and agreed with you.
Kinda worried about you, the things you said in these videos, hope it won’t get you into unnecessary troublesome.
And glad you enjoy your life in taiwan, wish to see more your videos.

You all dumb mtf.
I love both china and taiwan.
Wake up dumbasses, you been all brainwash by west to hate.
I had the good fortune to travel to Taiwan (Hsinchu) 8 years back. People are super-friendly and kind. The host was so generous to take us around and had a wonderful 3 days. What surprised me the most was the kindness to animals. I truly believe that Taiwan is the true inheritor of the ancient Chinese culture and dynasties.
Agree 💯 While Mainland China tried it's utmost to cut itself off from its roots, Taiwan saved and preserved many cultural artifacts and aspects. Chinese people were historically known for their very high quality craftsmanship, but modern PRC seems only to produce cheap, poor quality goods, whereas Taiwan is leagues better while still maintaining reasonable prices. The Taiwanese also seem to value the tradition of Daoism more highly. In any case, they seem to be the Ines continuing the story of Chinese civilisation in a befitting way.
You and I both. I worked in Taichung for a year and it was arguably the best experience I've had in my life. I'd happily stay there but the income in comparison to the UK is not justifiable. Shame that China subdued the country to the point they cannot prosper in ways that they should.
I am a foreign student in one of the universities here in Taiwan and I was overwhelmed by the generosity of the Taiwanese people. The educational system, Transportation, food and environment are totally good. Living in Taiwan is so amazing 😍, I'm looking forward to more years living herein 🇹🇼. Send love from the Filipino students here in Taiwan.
🙋 simon,台灣也很歡迎您呢。人若能提高視角,放大格局,去追求宇宙運行的實相(Reality),就明白所有的主義都是渺小人類發展出的"戲論",經不起放諸四海的檢驗。所以包括疆界、種族等等的劃分都是人類私心自用的產物,並非真理,一笑置之即可 😊
十分贊同, 一個不讓人民快樂幸福的國家沒有存在的必要, 因為國家是由人民虛構出來為人民謀幸福的, 國家不會流血, 人民才會流血, 國家不會痛苦, 人民才會痛苦, 如果一個不會感受到痛苦的機器權利無限大時, 或者說操控這個機器的上位者不是一個很理想的狀況時, 人民到底該如何自處呢? 有機會罷免嗎? 若能罷免也不叫權利無限大了.
謝謝,但我喜歡大陸同胞!!說話直接簡潔。
The ending makes me teary. Thank you for acknowledging all those good sides about Taiwan.
Sadly, on this free land, we still have people who reckon the economic is the most essential factor to live a happy life.
but that's what makes Taiwan a great country where people can express the opinions freely despite that some could be naive.
stay safe~
謝謝你的分享。。

Wow, just came across this video and your vlog. Very impressed that you are doing your videos in English, that you're married to a Taiwanese and live / have lived in Taiwan and are giving your honest opinion on Taiwan and what China could do better.
As a Taiwanese American, I don't think I've come across someone like you on UA-cam. Will watch more of your videos!
對啊,臺灣就是那麼好的一個地方,希望在這生活的人們能夠珍惜
This reminds me of what I was treated on a crowded high speed rail today heading from HsinChu to Taipei. A lady sitting on a seat beside us asked if I needed to put my bag and she pull off that little dining table in front. This shows how friendly Taiwanese people are.
Alex Tan id do the same cuz We like to observe who might need help
就算是大陸比台灣更有錢,也很難改變彼此的價值觀和道德觀,我老婆是大陸新娘,因此有機會接觸到大部份大陸人的日常生活,個人認為差距比較大的有五點:對新科技的接受程度、對弱勢團體的關心程度、對各種機構的信任程度、對社會秩序的遵守程度、對生活品質的自律程度。
你要是在大陆关心弱势群体,人家会围攻你,说你传播负能量。

Great and thoughtful perspective, Simon!
Good to hear that you are not so defensive as is almost compulsory in China - even when posting a comment or sending an email... My wife of 3+ years is still stuck in Shanghai... Bless you Simon...
影片說得很中肯也很公道,希望你繼續愛著臺灣!
可惜的是不少台灣人被一些媒體誤導 以為大陸比台灣好很多倍 真的要過去住幾個月看看你才能感受到大陸那種氛圍 有一種壓抑的不舒服(除非你都不太接觸人群) 競爭激烈(這部分不是不好只是人生有時候不只有錢道 德底線或平等觀念也是一種體現) 階級觀念 (就算人不是生而平等也不該是生而低賤) 希望大陸能更加民主自由!
台灣也曾經渡過汲汲營營只有工作沒有休閒的日子,但社會思想的變遷與政府制度的改變,台灣才漸漸找回失去的悠閒與人與人的連結。很慶幸也很驕傲,台灣能找到經濟與人文的平衡點,雖然多數人仍覺得經濟不足,但台灣依然是可稱是富裕的國家。

Subbed because of Serpentza recommendation. Anyway, I’m here to listen rather than to comment. Keep up the good work.
@RadoDani serpentza and laowhy86 are the real foreigner hero who works tirelessly in exposing the hidden part of ccp and discuss many issues related to improving the living conditions of mainland chinese by making world understand how really china looks like from inside under the tyranny regime of ccp. They have made a great contribution to a mainland chinese people in particular and whole world in general. My deepest respect to them.
Wow~thank you for giving Taiwan such a big praise! And also thank you for introducing the advantages in English. I've subscribed your channel and I expect to hear more from you! 😊
I really like your videos. I'm coming to live in China in two months, it's always interesting to get some information before actually getting to the country. And thank you Serpentza for this nice discovery
It's good to see this kind of content. Keep it coming man. I live in Shanghai now, and I've lived in Lianyungang for almost a year and the opinions are vastly different from the two cities.
謝謝你喜歡台灣

你的影片真的令人覺得敬佩
我一直相信大多數的台灣人
心中都有被教育禮貌以及

Thanks for sharing this Simon!!! Appreciate you being so honest!!! ❤️
Thanks to Winston for the shoutout to this channel. Subbed and looking forward to more interesting content!
謝謝你注意到這就是我們所愛的台灣的地方😃
Thanks for a great video. I'm an ABC from California originally and have lived in Taipei for many years. For the last several years, I have been traveling to mainland China a lot and have been to many cities mostly in the South to the East Coast.
In almost all regards, I would say that life is quite a bit more difficult in mainland China and the people are not as interesting for me to talk to. People in general aren't as friendly as you pointed out and since I am not white, I don't get any extra points for being a foreigner. Although I have made some really great mainland friends over the years, the percentage is far less than my Taiwan friends. According to the numbers, I can say I prefer my Taiwan friends more.
As someone who goes back and forth between Taiwan and mainland China, my biggest pet peeves are the quality of the people in mainland China, the food quality, unclean environment, and smoking indoors like restrooms, hotel rooms, and basically any public place like airports even.
In Shanghai, taking the subway can wear me down quite a bit because it seems like I can never get a seat and the city is so big that it takes quite a long time to get anywhere.
And taking trains in mainland China between cities is survival of the fittest. Hard to get a ticket. As a foreigner, getting a ticket can take a long time in the line and people like to cut in line which makes it worse. Tickets are often sold out if you travel at the wrong time. You have to fight your way on to the train with a short span of time to get on the train. Taking High Speed Railway in Taiwan is far less stressful but there just isn't much business to do in Taiwan so I don't take it much.
Obviously, in terms of manufacturing and having a larger market, mainland China is much better, but in terms of quality of living, air, and food, Taiwan is a lot better.
Even going to Shanghai for one day makes me notice now much worse it is for my lungs which are quite sensitive to smoke. I'm just not cut out for that environment.
Cost of living and going out to eat in Shanghai is definitely more expensive than in Taipei, but yet I feel the food quality in general is worse.
Shanghai and much of mainland China is simply put, overpopulated and the people have way too many bad habits making the overall environment less appealing. Shanghai itself already has a larger population than all of Taiwan province. That's ridiculously overpopulated even for a large city.
Politically speaking, a one party system also makes the environment feel very unfree and people are strongly impacted by having less access to the Internet. I feel like people don't know what I am talking about half the time or pretend not to because they are not supposed to be discussing those things or something.
The fact that I can't settle down with a TV show or movie on Netflix at the end of the day is also a huge downer. The VPN doesn't work over Wifi networks. It only works through my mobile but I cannot do everything on that.
Being cut off from things like LINE everyday in mainland China also really gets to me because not many Taiwanese people want to use We Chat to keep in touch. I have to tell them I am going over there so they will contact me on an app that actually works.
Also, my simplified Chinese isn't that good and Google Maps doesn't work that well over there. I am forced to use Baidu Maps and have much more trouble with it due to my poor understanding of simplified Chinese which I wasn't trained in at school.
Anyway, when the business was going well in China, I loved it, but even that seems to have dried up a bit so I don't enjoy it over there as much.
Looking to spend most of my time in Taipei for the coming years.
Jason Lee hey Lee! Really appreciate for your detailed feedback! Thanks!:) happy mid autumn festival BTW:)
@@SimonYu Great direction with your channel. Keep it up.
Agree with everything you said except the “Taiwanese province” part. Taiwan always welcomes nice people of all races!
@@rodriguezchen The term Taiwan can be used as the name of the province which it technically is according to the ROC constitution. It can also be referred to as a nation state for the ROC, so to call it a province or nation are both correct depending on what you are referring to.
There is nothing to agree or disagree about regarding this.
I was referring to Taiwan as a territory so I wrote Taiwan province.
Your English is terrible. The Chinglish is just as bad as mine. Are you sure you are an ABC?
I have to agree. Taiwanese are very polite! Lived there for 5 years and lived in China like 10 years..Love Taiwan!
Very well said!!!! (Just a minor reminder: China's per capita GDP is still WAY lower than that of Taiwan.) I am Canadian but I was born in Hong Kong. Even though Hong Kong is not as bad as China in the many areas you point out in this video and even though Hong Kong is considerably wealthier than Taiwan, it still lags behind Taiwan in all those areas. Like you, I have been to Taiwan many many many times, and the more I go there, the more I am in love with the country. (I prefer being in Taiwan than in Hong Kong, and I cannot stand being in China which I have visited.) I have traveled extensively all over the world over the years (I grew up in England and have lived in the United States for many years too), and Taiwan is my number 1 most favorite country in the world. Hands down.
I like both china and taiwan.
Wakeup dude.

You never been out of your own, how you know it worst, hearing propaganda brainwashed simpleton like you is so easy to sway , alot of people from west visit, as long you dont talk about politics.
you type are divider of the human race, you real ignorant, undereducated who let others tell you what to do or not to do, you dont have mind of yourself, you so easily brainwashed by propaganda

Read more, get educated on world history, foreign policy, critical thinking skills 101, economics, social sciences.... get well round education than you be able to debate.
Is china so bad as they had brung 75% or more out of proverty, bad or good?
Hey bro, if you come here in the Philippines I'll invite you for dinner. I am serious!
I discovered your channel through ADV China's latest podcast, I absolutely agree with Winston and Cmilk that you're indeed balanced with your opinion as a Mainlander.
Keep it up bro!
I am from mainland and I am very patriotic. But I agree what you make are very fair points and most of Taiwanese are very very great people.
Refreshing video! I've been to Bangkok, Thailand and they do require people to pass through checks not only at subway stations but also before entering major malls.
I was in Bangkok 2years ago and had no such issues.

@美国 上帝 又在刷流言了?
I also subscribed because of a recommendation from SerpentZA. So far so good
九月底第一次到台北象山爬山晨练,山上不认识的老伯伯老奶奶会主动和你说早,你好。。感觉非常和睦友善亲近,这在对岸是看不到的,至少在重庆是看不到的,我爱台湾ROC,我还会去的。
Thank you for this great video. I have lived abroad for 7 years, but I am always proud of Taiwan and being a Taiwanese.
謝謝你喜歡台灣☺️願台灣的好讓更多人喜愛 並一起保護這地方🙏🏻
大陆人有话要说,因为我女朋友是台湾人我通过她也对台湾有一定程度了解。
我觉得两边虽然工资不一样,但是购买力没差很多。不说过高和过低收入者,就按普通大众,大学生毕业以后。台湾3万台币就算不错吧,3万台约等于6千人民币,但是台北的物价其实和北京差不多。北京普通大学生刚毕业就业也是5000或者6000。不过台湾比较好的就是市中心房价比北京低,不过都属于买不起的程度。大陆其他地区物价低工资也低,但是本质上购买力没有差很多如果你不出国的话。
基础建设,这个不好说哎,因为大陆整体上在提高很多地方都在更新,台湾一直没什么变化吧。
网络,没错,台湾自由。
政治,没错,台湾自由。大陆是国家利益无比重要型,提倡个人为国家利益让步,这一点不可否认。有好有坏。
个人素质,台湾整体上偏高没错,大陆是因为人太多参差不齐,好的人和坏的人的都是一抓一大把。
安保,因为大陆民族复杂人口众多并且反对势力太多,很多地方都需要安检也必须安检,不然无法保证安全。
我本人是青岛人,我感觉在青岛的生活也很惬意舒适,没有这位博主说的那么严重,不过可能北京上海这种城市是如此吧。我本人现在在日本,我其实感觉比起日本社会我还是更喜欢中国社会,一句话概括,日本社会是除了政治自由,其他基本都不自由,毛病太多。中国相反。
但是我目前还没有去台湾常住的经验,希望将来可以体验一下吧。
我很開心也很驕傲生長在台灣這塊土地,也很開心的讓許多外國人喜歡上我生長的環境,我會努力保護自己的國家
Hi Simon enjoyed your video really much. Hope we have more people from the othe side to see both sides by a neutral perspective
你講得都很正確,其中,在台灣只要是不給別人製造麻煩,基本上幹啥都可以,這我完全認同。
另外不諱言地說,我是在住過中國一段時間後才體會到台灣的好,大家真的要好好珍惜這塊寶島!
Good observation. Thanks for the good words. I love Taiwan too.
As a foreigner living in China, I agree with your point of view, and truly respect your bravery. I worry about your 安全
It’s an irony that he is at risk for speaking a different opinion from the rest of mainlander. He is from North Korea?
Let's have meal, Simon, when I get to visit China again after the International lockdown. I've always love cultures and geopolitics over a good meal or coffee or maybe even a beer. Cheers
Thank you! Thanks to Laowhy86 for steering me here. Subscribed because of him and your honesty!!! Peace, Love and Light my friend!
I hope that the CCP's new leader in the future is more relaxed towards Taiwan and follows a more harmonious approach to its people. Credit to where it is due, all Chinese people i've met at universities in the past have all been 'reasonable' people. Dont get me wrong, not perfect. I am just happy to hear that there are people like you who have a positive attitude towards a place I like to call my second home.
Great vlog Simon. And good insights. Keep up the good work!
Simon, welcome to Taiwan. I acknowledged that you married a Taiwanese lady. In Taiwanese custom, we'll say you are a son-in-law of Taiwan.
Thank you for having such a great video. I love your view and opinion about the differences between lives in China and Taiwan. You made it in a very impressive way.
Well, still, I have a bit worried about you because of what's in your mind might cause you troubles when you're back home in China.
I like watching your video telling me what mindset an ordinary mainland Chinese is like. And it normally stunned me.
Thank you for sharing your view. And take good care of yourself.
影片是在台中草悟道拍攝
感覺好像是
台中人一看就知道啦
Mainland Chinese "lack common courtesy and empathy". So true. I've experienced first hand. Taiwanese people are known for its nice people. And they are not nice because you're foreigners; they are nice because that's how they were brought up with traditional Chinese virtues which the Mainland abandoned during the cultural revolution.
It's really good to hear a Chinese people to say so.
True facts . Serpentza sent me here. You guys are great
