I am Malaysian. What do I think about China? 1. thank goodness for their reasonably priced machinery and equipment. It is an SME enabler for many developing countries. I can get a poultry processing line from China at a third of the price if from Europe. Ditto for excavators, cranes, etc. China plays a tremendous role as an economic enabler and multiplier because of its cheap goods, and innovative solutions. They don't price their goods like purely capitalist companies would. 2. thank goodness for their growing middle class, which with its huge purchasing power means that businesses that know how to sell value-added goods to them will earn more income. Example, durians, tiger prawns, high-end timber furniture, etc. 3. China have had centuries of trade relationship with the various Malay kingdoms without any wars. Malacca was thriving as a center of trade between China, India, and the various sultanates of the Nusantara and the Middle East. Then the Europeans came and destroyed Malacca and subjugated the local kingdoms and people and expropriate all the natural resources to Europe. The approach to other countries and other civilizations between China and the West are diametrically opposite.
Well said. If it weren't for U$ meddling, China can develop faster and help better humanity for most part of the world. U$ is not only a hindrance for peace but also slowing humanity's progress.
@@kuraphlau03 sadly pakatan harapan parties like pkr and Dap are generally anti China and pro US. they receive fundings and support from NGOs associated with NED(National Endowment of Democracy) which is a front for the C1A in their regime change operatives overseas. Brian Berletic from the New Atlas uncovered quite a lot of this about PH politicians. Don't get me wrong, I am not pro BN and anti PH, I used to be pro PH anyway. nowadays, I am not partisan, less idealistic and more realistic about my political views. Malaysian alternative media such as FMT and Malaysiakini are pro US/Pro West fanboys and whenever they report about China or Russia, they bash them just like Western MSM do. Dap and PKR rhetoric are as woke and progressive as their counterparts in Europe or USA Democratic Party. Cheers!
Hi Lee, those people that you interviewed are not interested in China , many local older Chinese here are pro China , younger who study in Taiwan are pro Taiwan.
As a Malaysian, I can tell you that we have a very positive view about China. We benefit from their economy growth in our region which help to pull up ours as well.
Unfortunately my American friends react negatively toward anything positive about China. These white ghettos folks hate anyone with better life than white people. I used to be poor in USA. Now I am far better off. These people started distancing and full of bitter words about my rising. Similar situation domestically and internationally. Pathetic losers.
Was there any else who just give you good and never with a string attached？Wow, that must be better than the God, just simply leave the worst China and go be with the God.
I am Malaysian, I support China, and I feel sad about the western media that always spread anti-China misinformation and hatred towards China, all human are equal and we all should respect and love each other.
Asian countries for thousands of years have been knowing and trading with each other, luckily for the most part we didn't have large scale conflicts or wars. We should prosper together in future.
I am Indian, I support China, and I feel Very Very sad about the western media and Some of my INDIANS spreading HATE about China without knowing anything. 99.9% of People always spread anti-China misinformation and hatred towards China without visiting China, all human are equal and we all should respect and love each other.
All anti-China news are propagated by the U.S, its Western and Asian puppets and their biased media. Decades ago when China was poor and backward, it was considered a friend for the simple reason that it could produce cheap goods. This was a time when every American could enjoy a good life with affordable products from China. The moment that China has progressed and developed to a level that nobody could have imagined, it is considered as a threat to U.S economic and military interests. So it is really about envy and jealousy. If tomorrow India becomes the second largest economy in the world, I can bet you, the U.S will treat it like how China is being treated.
as a Chinese, I want to say thank you very much to the Malaysia people, i think what we hope is a good life full of hope. All of us want a development , and i hope everyone can make it true. wish everybody can enjoy a peaceful and happy life.
True. We all wish for peace and prosperity in all corners of the world. As Malaysians we live together harmoniously and view one another with friendliness
You should have asked the Malays and the Malaysian Chinese for their views. Anyway, as a Chinese Singaporean who has both friends and relatives on both sides, we are staunchly supportive of China, esp those well read on world matters. Afterall, we too have familial ties with Guandong people since our grandpas landed in Malaysia and Singapore from the chaotic Opium Wars waged on the poor Chinese people by the UK, U$, France and the 8-nation Alliance which today is the G7 mostly.
The enemy of the Malays is written on our Malaysian passport and we know which nations are actively financing the tumor in Middle East. Australian citizen Julian Assange exposed this so that's why he is being tortured* and held in Belmarsh, UK. Abandoned by his own nation, Australia. *signs of torture confirmed by Nils Melzer, UN Special Rapporteur on Torture
I think the question is not define properly, the government of china is definitely oppressive even to their own people but the citizens in itself is not at fault.
I am Malaysian. I am proud of my Chinese ancestry. I definitely have a positive opinion of China. 4 phrases about China that immediately comes to my mind : 1.strong and caring government 2. diligent and innovative people 3. 5000 yrs of rich history 4 impressive advance in science, technology, infrastructure, education, entertainment etc. I have visited China several times and I am looking forward to visiting it again. Everything there amazes me.
I'm Malaysian, and here's my thought on China: - I like most of the Chinese people from China, they're so damn hardworking no matter how you portrayed them (I mean few times hardworking than us Malaysians). Of course there are some people who are lazy, cuz their families are already rich before they came to Malaysia. - People from China don't like to waste time, which is a good example for Malaysians to learn. - Most of our construction industries, manufacturing industries are getting better because of the machinery/equipments/transportation we import from China. Yes, we rely on their machinery a lot. - China is our largest trading partner for years, there's no doubt most of the things we used came from China, I'm grateful. - Chinese people from China, they got better purchase power compared to us, Malaysians. China has brought more benefits to our economy, that's the main point. Let's hope for the best of china, since Malaysia is trying to become better in terms of development and economy, without US hegemony.
With due respect, the stronger China is the less likelihood the retards will bully the Chinese in their midst. That goes without any questions are these adherents to the 7th Century faith does not understand other than violence.
China is non interfering , unlike the US , self appointed international policeman ! They win friends by offering help , improving infrastructure , directly improving lives of local population They don’t preach and pontificate , blatantly , shamelessly practising double standards . The US has to stop thinking Asians are stupid , we read we travel , we are not insular
That's Good, bro. I am Chinese and when westerners hear that they start saying negative things about China. I am not born in China though, but Chinese are also majority in Singapore and Malaysia.
Barrett , as a native Chinese Malaysian who speak Chinese & English & Malay & other Chinese dialect well also as a Malaysian who study both China and USA deep using their own language , i proudly give you my comment, i think that China have a positive influence on the world by showing how can the world live in another way of living beside then the USA way of living, China and USA are totally different in almost everything example the way of this 2 country to become world leader, USA use war and economic sanction to force other people to follow her while China use trade to make other people follow her.
Now i going to talk bad thing about both USA and China, you guy know that this two country have a common weakness that is their health care system suck, rich and wealthy American and Chinese including both businessmans and government officers have access to special room and bed that only reserved for the wealthy while middle class and poor people have to wait in the government hospital for longer time and competing for bed depending on their luck
That's Good, bro. I am Chinese and when westerners hear that they start saying negative things about China. I am not born in China though, but Chinese are also majority in Singapore and Malaysia.
My grand grand father has 12 son&daughter. 7 in China, 5 in Malaysia. My 6th grandpa is from Malaysia, and he is my grandpa's little 6th brother. He had just come to Xiamen spend the holiday with us this year. I love Malaysia.
Welcome to Malaysia. Generally Malaysia works closely with China esp in trade, and we benefit from each others. We hope the bilateral relationship maintain and we want world peace.
The interviewees were hard to comprehend but the written comments are amazingly heart-warming, expressing deeply felt sentiments that us with Chinese roots can all resonate with. Many of us have families who left China during a traumatic 1.5 century when the Qing dynasty was weak, when the 8 Europeans looted China, when the Japanese invaded, or when the civil war began. But it's so nice to see so many who never forgot their roots. ❤️❤️❤️
Well said. No matter how many generations we are descended from our migrant forefathers we have not forgotten our roots. The overseas Chinese and Irish share a similar story in that our forefathers, driven by starvation and oppression, left their beloved homeland in great numbers. The starvation may be gone but the scars of oppression are still etched deeply within our hearts.
I'm one of those fortunate Msians who had had d chance to live in China for many yrs. So, I was able to make comparison with claims made by d main stream media(msm) & d actual situation on d ground. Many a time, d allegations by msm were wide by a mile. I had enjoyed my stay in China, charmed by her warm, kind & honest people & its peaceful & safe environment. I cd feel d concern of d govt for its citizens & doing all they to alleviate their std of living.
@@danielxu7624 Yes, people who grow up under authoritarian governments don't understand the joy of freedom and free speech without fear of government harassment.
Welcome to Malaysia! I am also Malaysian, and I am viewing china as a positive influence. Many of the negative news are very one sided and exaggerated from western media. I am looking forward to see china grow bigger and neutralize the control from western.
Welcome. I think it's easier if you ask most of us to write instead of speak in English 😄. Like any other countries, there are people who like China yet there are people who don't. Bare in mind, we have a lot of NGOs that's not friendly with China.
I feel bad for all the Taiwanese kids in the end that think US has good intention and could be the bridge between China n Taiwan, these kids definitely have never seen wolf in sheep’s clothing
I mean looking back at the history US obviously ditched Taiwan once yet still learn nothing from the past, just like how US ditched its Afghans allies not long ago
not many young Asian read geopolitics/international news. I am Malaysian and my peers all have a positive view on China as shared by most of the comments below. my whole family is a supporter of China. By the way, @barrett welcome to Malaysia, if I met you there, I will gladly be interviewed. :-)
If you like china so much, then why won't YOU MOVE TO CHINA YOURSELF!! Why do you HIDE in western democratic country like malaysia?. Move back to china, anytime!! You are hyprocrite to support china from outside of china. The evil gangerster beijing will lock you up and beat you! They beijing will sell your body organs!! Just like Uyghurs and Tibet, millions murdered and their body organs sold!! Most chinese in china want to escape china! Especially in covid 19 lockdown!!
@@may-zy7ju Why won't you move back to china?? Why are you HIDING in western countries??? Why won't you go to china for vacation? Not even once? You supporting china from OUTSIDE is very hypocrite! Shame on you!! Evil china is currently murdering 3 million Uyghurs in Xinjiang and selling their body organs!! Why don't you read the news!! No one in china has ever voted for the past 5000 years!! Why does your grandparents moved to Malaysia?? They want to ESCAPE from evil china dictators!! You are very stupid and blind to all the evil murders china is committing right now!!
@@jeffjohnson5053 Another naive western, hopefully i am not guessing wrong.. we can support or like China, doesn't mean that you have to move to the particular country that you support or like. Stop being so childish, GROW UP!!!
Definitely positive about China! The taxi driver is a Malaysian Indian and he is very much influenced by the tensions between India and China, probably the 1962 and recent 2020 skirmish. The Taiwanese tourists were very much influenced by their government of the day and probably the mass media at home.
Ir's interesting for sure. The problem, certainly in places such as Canada; is the hypocrisy. No nation is perfect, but some focus on past grievances (as Canada apologizes for abuses 50+ years n the past) but todays abuses are not addressed. It's just a vicious cycle. So, when media here suggest China is our enemy, I ask "what are the leaders in Canada doing to address abuses here in Canada?" In fact, I'd like to see a similar interview done on the streets of Toronto.
Hello Barrett, Here's my opinion as a Malaysian Chinese. A quote from the Three Kingdoms which every Chinese has watched on TV, one of the four major literature classics of China, states: "He who wins the hearts of men is not far from ruling the world." The same applies in the 21st century, where the internet makes information dissemination global. My bet is on China because integrity and benevolence (a prequisite Confucian value for any government officials) will always triumph over hypocrisy and aggression as practised by USA and the West. China's foreign policy is win-win. USA's foreign policy is "if you are not with me, then you are against me" (Quote: George W Bush) Unquote: To hell with your freedom, it's my freedom over your freedom. A zero sum game mentality. If USA wins, people around the world will get the status quo, a world full of sufferings in many parts of the world. If China wins, there will be peace and harmony around the world, a better world. A global Singapore, so to speak, where people of different cultures and religions can live in a thriving global village. USA rules by divide and rule, hence the constant wars and the global humanitarian crisis that follows, caused mainly by the West. Ukrainians and Russians will henceforth become enemies instead of friends. China rules by uniting the world, hence the BRI, allowing global cultures to live in harmony. To live and let live. Finally, zero wars, unless of course, the West continues with their military imperialism.
China is the best country, they don't invade countries to make war.... China is a peaceful country, their aim is to help and develop the under privileged countries....
When you wrote "China is a peaceful country, their aim to ...", you are referring to the China government NOT the Citizen of China. The China Government did invade Tibet and had attempted to occupy Vietnam in the history. Let's not to forget the "Xinjiang Police Files" - the suffering of Uyghurs - muslims in XinJiang for years. It is sad that Malaysians are still ignorance of what the China government has been doing at the South China Sea. And, regarding helping the underprivileged countries, they aren't sincerely help them but to trap them with debt to take something from them (e.g., Nepal, Africa, Pakistan, etc). Not to mention the China government sneakily installs their own police unit in USA, Canada, UK, etc to monitor their own citizens, which is illegal but so what, they don't respect law within China and other countries.
@@ahantu you hv been propagandized by the msm, dude. Tibet is China la, same as Xinjiang and HK and Taiwan. It is the diabolical U$ media feeding you poison. What xinjiang police files, from BBC- Bullshit Broadcasting corp?
@ahantu what u are saying commend to India, they encroaching their neighbours like Pakistan. Nepal, Bhutan, etc that's why strong force engagement with Pakistan every day
I'm sorry you got interviewed by a lot of people who don't know much about China. Many have never been there, have not seen nor experienced what it's like in China. China may not be perfect just as any countries aren't either. Overall my opinion of China is not a bad one. It's not as bad as the media has painted.
may i know which age group? base on my experience most singaporeans talk bad things about china, especially the younger generations (coz they're idiots)
That's Good, bro. I am Chinese and when westerners hear that they start saying negative things about China. I am not born in China though, but Chinese are also majority in Singapore and Malaysia.
I would agree with some sentiments expressed here in the commentary. You’d get a more accurate portrayal of malaysian’s views on china by focusing on malaysians and not the foreigners. You’d need to venture beyond the touristy hotspots.
@@HuaWei-qk4vg it doesn't matter my friend, only those that are above 45 and Chinese schooled or learnt mandarin on his own, like me, know anything about Chinese history. The younger generations only learnt the language but have never touched the classics, which teaches about culture and history. But reading the classics is difficult. The only culture our young ones know are mostly about tai yat chi...like moon cake festival, CNY etc. The curiosity about ones ethnicity is not encouraged. The knowledge about the land of our forefathers are nothing more than economics and strong buying power to them nowadays. Looking at how the Chinese in 🇨🇳 build their country, I am fully confident my forefathers really built the Great Wall..and we are truly a great nation...
I can't represent everyone from China, but I like Malaysia a lot, my sister married to Malaysian, and I met a lot of Malaysian people both in China and other countries, and we share a lot in common that's why when travelling abroad it's so easy to make friends btw Chinese and people of Malaysia. And we like their fruits a lot. In terms of politics, I would say as long as the people of Malaysia is happy with their political systems, I have no comment because I am just a foreigner, if visit Malaysia I am a guest, as a guest of course we should respect their society, political systems, it's their own internal affairs, they decide for themselves.
Good to note the diversified ethnicities / backgrounds of the interviewees. This will generate broader-based views. If you would pardon me, I hope the interviewers could try to manage your reactions (eg. Lee's reaction and personal comments to certain interviewees' views may inadvertently sway their opinions). Great job in gathering both positive and negative views instead of one-sided ones to pander to the likes of certain groups in this channel.👍
@@justnow5809 dont be stereotype, these folks might be in their 50 or 60s, but they were born in the country! the first Chinese migration was back in 19th century
China doesn't colonise or wage wars in other countries like the West. For thousand years China also maintains a good relationship with its neighbours ASEAN countries.
Hi from 🇲🇾.Perhaps you should conduct your interview with more well educated Malaysians and with those that are more well verse/fluent in English to give you a better feedback/opinion/perspective of what Malaysians actually think about China. Probably starting your walkabout surveys at Colleges / University institutions around KL.
@ebcho1, I totally agree with you. I am bilingual, I am a Malaysian I speak fluent Mandarin. The 6 Taiwanese don't understand Lee's questions, one of them translated wrongly as a result their answer dont make sense and contradicted with what they said at first.
Welcome to Malaysia. Thank you for conducting the interview in Malaysia. If you have asked the Malaysian viewers here in your channel, I bet that the percentage of positive responses will exceed 90 %. But then, this will not be a fair and random survey. Hence, your survey on the street of KL is important. Despite the small sample of interviewees, the outcome is significant in three respects. Firstly, the positive effects of China on the Malaysian economy is under-reported in the local mainstream media and non-Chinese multi-media. Secondly, the local political narratives which demonise communism and Malaysian Chinese dominance in the local economy, have created negative thought amongst the less-informed Malay and other non-Chinese population. Thirdly, the influence and legacy of Western ideas of freedom and rights present a difficult hurdle for some Malaysian and foreigners to comprehend the great improvement achieved in China today. It is therefore of utmost important that we do our part to improve the present situation . Last but very importantly, we should continue to support the BARRETTS in their good works. It is time we have a Barrett fan-club in KL and meet up over a Teh-tarik or a high-tea.
Thank you so much for your kind words, it's quite difficult to get people to speak on camera, and I think it's also important to get a cross section of people.
He expect a much2 cheaper phone with the same quality as IPhone. However, China made phones are generally good quality n cheap. Most Indian in India use China phone.
Recall some years back when the govt tried to put the emphasis on the learning of English back on the school curriculam, it caused an uproar among the Malay nationalists that it was discarded. Some states even threw a fit when Chinese shopowners wanted to include Chinese together with Malay on their signboards.
Hmm, I disagree, seems like most of the Chinese interviewees were more on Chinese speaking side. From the way they talked, their broken pronunciation and grammar, I guess they are Chinese speaker in their daily life. How I know that, because that's how I speak in my real life. 😂🤣
@@DukeLM Agreed. At least they are able to pronounce it correctly in English, right? Nothing to be ashamed. Asking those who are speaking in English, are they able to speak other languages in Malay, Chinese or Indian? English is not global language, remember that!
Lee, thanks for your great effort. Have a nice stay in Malaysia. You asked the wrong people about China. These people can hardly put together a meaningful sentence.
@@BarrettYT I don't know about that... looks like you have selected a very poor sample of people 😂😂😂 The other issue is you use of rather "complex" language structure. You need to reformat your questions. Eg: "Do you have a Negative or positive Perception of China. " The first few people you spoke to have absolutely no idea what you mean....
Perhaps a wrong day. I think a good spread will be a number of days. Is true those whom u managed to interview has poor command of English and could not expressed well. Also, not all are interested in international news so they could not express themselves.
@@dankschang if you asking for opinion at least get someone who can convay the message clearly. Else what can you proof? standard of malaysian english?
My gawd … that’s not at all a representation of Malaysians views on China. But the Taiwan youngsters are indeed interesting to a point where diving deeper on how they arrive to that conclusion would give a plethora of answers to how the opinions and views are formed. Let it be told that the Barrets quest to uncover truths about China is magnanimous with all honesty and a little voice the best they can carry, AND that’s the attributes that I respect 💯 percent ! May your peace message be heard globally and thanks for sharing. Stay in good health Lee. 💪🏼💪🏼
The guy at 10:30 nails it. ALL INTERNET VLOGGERS exagerrate to get clicks. Including Barret. AMAZING that that the 6 Taiwanese kids support America! ("brainwashed!")
14:50 He totally put words into those Taiwanese people's mouths. There's no indication that they knew what the word "unification" means. It's more like they only understood and agreed with the word "peaceful". The guy in black said Taiwanese and Chinese people are similar to mean that they have nothing against Chinese people themselves, immediately after which, at 15:19, he says, "but the government is NOT," smiling to indicate that he believes he's saying something quite obvious. Barrett responds with "OK" with a tone of voice indicating that he understands but does not agree with the sentiment. Barrett, do you have no shame taking advantage of people's bad English to make them look like saying something they aren't on the internet and distort your aduience's perceptions of a free people's views of China? The comments here show that you have misled your audience. 😠 No wonder why you were so disturbed the Chinese guy's social media criticisms!
a bunch of naive Taiwanese young people 😄 US just interested in TSMC and earn $$$ from war. They don't even care about US citizens died from covid, do you think they care about Taiwanese people life in war?
Defamation. No problem! China has long been used to or numb! Facts have proved that the "freedom" of the West restricts the development of their own countries. But China's "dictatorship", "restriction", "no freedom" and so on are constantly improving people's lives and developing the whole China. Every country is like a family. Each family has its own way to live a good life. We should respect the way of life of each family. Instead of forcing them to live like themselves...
Taiwanese guys missed the unification part. I don’t think they fully understood the question. And I find it quite surprising that their English aren’t that good.
Actually most people in the world can't speak English well. That is why the world average is only 15% for those who can hold a conversation in fluent English. As for the Taiwanese I am amazed that Taiwan is only 130km from China but their understanding of China and the US is so mess up. US is the bridge for both sides? Are you kidding me? US is using Taiwan as a cannon fodder to provoke China or in the worst case scenario to fight a proxy war with China to the last Taiwanese if China decides to unify Taiwan by force. I also think when TSMC is located totally in US, Taiwan will be less important to the US. But all these young Taiwanese have no idea about all that and never knew Nancy Pelosi visit could have been the death of Taiwan if the CPC had not restrained themselves from shooting down or stop her plane from landing.
Nothing surprising and nothing has changed after 30 years. Even university students have a very poor command of both written and spoken English. Taiwanese people do not speak to each other in English whether in public or at home.
I am a Chinese American working in a university. I have met some Chinese Malaysian students. They all can speak fluent Chinese and are proud of their Chinese origin. This remains to be a wonder to me how the Chinese communities in Malaysia maintain the Chinese tradition and the love for the motherland. This is a unique phenomenon. I wonder whether the practices in Malaysia can be replicated in other countries that also have large Chinese populations, like the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, Japan, Australia, and the US.
First you need at least 40% of the population as minorities - to ensure there is no force assimilation programs by the govt. Then you need to make major religious and cultural festivals as national holidays. Malaysia has one of the most national holidays in the world. Thirdly, you need to artificially create clusters of Chinese/minorities areas. In the case of Malaysia, the govt created New villages as a response to curtail communism in the 50/60s, which unintentionally preserved the Chinese culture post-communism. Finally, allow minorities to have their own vernacular schools. 90% Malaysian Chinese study in Chinese schools.
@@coffeemug3009 we don't even have Chinese schools In other Chinese community So you can even tell the difference between us and the Malaysian Chinese
Thanks, Lee for coming to Malaysia and speaking to random people on the street about their views of China. I wonder why our Malaysian English standard is so poor, what happened to our education system? And, speaking to Taiwanese people you sure get their negative opinions about China, but definitely not our Malaysian Chinese.

Funny 1 hater and 1 supporter, now a neutral view! China is not perfect, america isn't perfect either both have millions of dead corpses inside their own borders, and I see no point of pointing fingers it would be endless. But fact is that China represents growth and progress. However America is all about money for themself and slow progress to a halt in order to profit on it....
Not all Indians are watching WION. Not all Indians in India are ignorant about the good of China. Don't allow yourself to be brainwashed by propaganda. The west is worried that India and China will hug each other. We should promote China and India friendships.
You're in Malaysia! Welcome mate! I didn't realised Malaysian English is that bad. Perhaps I've been mixing with people that speaks good English. Most I spoke to on the street can speak pretty good English.
Nowadays, most younger Malaysians have poor command of English. This is partly due to our education system which de-emphasized English in favour of the Malay language. Also most Malaysian Chinese prefer their kids to study in Chinese vernacular school unlike in the past, so they are better in Mandarin than in English. Still, in Malaysia, to have a good command of the English language is seen as prestigious but I believe this will dwindle in the future if our world becomes truly multipolar. I noticed older Malaysians of whatever ethnic group speak better English though - partly because they were educated when we just got our independence from the British and English as a school subject has not degraded to our current abysmal level.
@@arcturus4067 not really i think it depends on the upbringing more than schools. i notice a lot of malaysian younger generation (regardless of race) who spend a lot of time on the internet tend to consume a lot of western content. so they manage to have a better command in english than their parents. this is the new age, most kids learn from the internet more than schools since the internet has little to no restrictions.
15:20 When I was a student in school, one of the things my English teacher taught me was: when a brit says, that's really interesting. You know they don't mean it's interesting. They mean something entirely different. I am not saying this is the case. Just got some old memory back.
I am from Malaysia . Most Malaysians have a neutral view of China and most other countries. We are generally not too ideological on things. As a Malaysian Chinese, I have to say some within that community are staunchly anti China and pro Taiwan whereas some are anti Taiwan and pro China. I am not too sure of the proportion of those who have such strong views though. I was told by some 'Chinese educated' friends that Malaysian Chinese newspapers and media are pro Taiwan and Taiwan has strong influence on younger Chinese educated Malaysian Chinese. I can't be sure on this because I am a 'banana' and can't read Chinese (my mother tongue is Manglish , my Malay and English is better than my Mandarin). Perhaps Chinese educated Malaysian Chinese can share their perspective. I myself have positive views on China and generally pro China, surprisingly, despite being a 'banana' and more influenced by the West. Not too sure if there are many in other communities(Malays, Indians, Ibans, Kadazans and others) who have any strong views. Generally, we Malaysians are neutral and pragmatic people.
Wrong. Despite the government not wanting to be deemed to be with China, most Malaysians know the evils of the West. We were a British colony and we should not be proud of it like you do, perhaps. I won't hesitate to say I love China and everything Chinese, even the CPC because Malaysia's political system, like most other countries, any shit can get elected if he or she has money to give. Can even get elect by fluke chance if the favourite is disqualified.
"Most Malaysians have a neutral view of China" because Malaysians aren't aware of what the China government is doing in the world. ALSO, the vloggers used the word "China" has a hidden meaning. China as in the China Government Vs China as in the Country and the Citizens of China (Exclude the Government). They are different. When people ask you about China, you should as them back for specific. So, when people say "anti China", it means the China government. You have to be really clear what the people are referring to.
@@ahantu when I say Malaysians are generally neutral about China, I do mean the Chinese Government. And many educated Malaysians do know what China is doing in the world, and we also do know what USA and the West is doing too. We do know none of these great powers are Saints, all sides do sh1tty ev1l stuff. Malaysians are generally pragmatic and non ideological. What the Chinese Govt does in their own country is their own business. Generally we don't really care. For those Malaysians who are partisans or take sides though, I am sure they might be some Malays who dislike China due to the Uyghur issue much highlighted by MSM, or some Indians who will take issue with the Chinese Govt, or pro Taiwan /pro West folks who generally accept Western ideals of governance who will hate the Chinese Govt. This interview is not representative of Malaysian views of the Chinese Govt because many foreigners were interviewed rather than Malaysians. I still think most Malaysians (who generally have poor knowledge of geopolitics, we are more concerned about our situation within Malaysia, our businesses and our economy rather than ideological matters) will have a neutral view - what Chinese Govt does within China is none of our concern, Chinese govt do some bad stuff(we get these news from our media which parrot Western MSM, as well as Western MSM where educated Malaysians get their news from) but the same Govt improved China from dirt poor country to a rival of the usa(good + bad = neutral). That's my take even if we, including those who are well informed, are asked about the Chinese Government, except for a minority who may have strong views.
Sir, you interviewed the wrong group of people!! The 1st guy is a malay; he has very low knowledge about China or any part of the world! The last guy is a cab driver of indian origin and indian has low opinion abt China; ask him abt India.. he will tell you a lot!!!
I have lived in China with my family for 8 years ( my husband worked there for almost 20 years) and was fully immersed with their people and culture, living with the locals. Very hardworking , polite and humble . The older generation went through the hardship of Cultural revolution and being closed up for decades against the outside world, they seemed “crude” and impolite to the outside world but when you get to know them, you will be surprised about how genuine and warm they are and their eagerness to connect to the outside world. The next generation does better , are educated , polite and are more open minded in fact more advanced and forward thinking than many youth from other countries. Chinese rapid growth in wealth at big urban cities has also produced some black sheep who are proud and entitled , not behaving in foreign countries but these are only black sheeps though seemingly look like many it is because China has many people so look at it in context. The authority is also constantly educating its citizens on proper manners and behaviors. We should give time to a country who has opened up its door not too long ago and they have done very well. China is like a continent, urban rich at the coasts but there are still many poor people inland and it is a big job not any country could manage. I am proud of the efforts its government is putting into to improve the lives of many esp the poor and it is also a very big country to defend in case of attack so they need a huge army to do this job. From my opinion living there, it is a progressive country and not surprising many foreign expats from the West did not want to go back
You have managed to capture the opinions from a very diverse group of people. Surprise to learn there are are more negative thoughts of China than positive. keep up your good work👏👏
Thx much Lee for the great work!!!! As a Chinese living in Australia, I haven't been to Malaysia. So, I've found it very interesting to hear about their views. With regards to the interview with the group of young people from Taiwan, Lee you bravo!!! I did not expect that you'd be so straight forward. Well done Lee 👍👍👍👏👏👏
i think you can ignore most of the opinions in this interview. it only proves that they are poor in English and not knowing a lot around the world. By the way i am Malaysian too.
You should come to the borneo part of Malaysia ( also known as the land below the wind). Most people who visit Western part(ie. KL ) only and never visit this part. Yet we have the most attractions like the highest mountain range in sea and Danum valley( also known as the lost world). Plenty of beaches and islands with world class sunsets and dive spots. That's just to name a few. Generally most people here have mixed views about China or US. But normally just neutral about it. Here in the borneo part of Malaysia a lot of people used to look up to the Queen of England. Guess it's because we are still the commowealth part of the British Imperialism. But all these have started to deminish as Britains influence wanes among the younger generation. Even the US is losing ground these days as the younger generations have a different mindset towards our world today. Perhaps it is the trend or new age, I dunno. Diffinately the world is changing.
Very unfortunate that those you interview really have not much understanding about China. Generally, young Malaysians are not that interested in politics that do not affect them directly in their everyday lives. In our multiracial society, it's usually the Chinese people who are more interested about what's going on in China, for the Indians, India political goings-on may pique their interest more. The local Malays is more concern about the local politics because they think it will affect them most even if it affects all Malaysians as well. For the foreigners, they have their views usually coincide with what their country portrays.
Dominic voo Malay people know about china mainland politic. We are Malay love all Chinese people not only Chinese in china. Since the sultan of Malacca until now we believe our relationship thats why now we have peranakan Baba Nyonya. Malay people know what the point is, we want to take care of their heart that why we didnt want to have problem because we love all them. I hope you understand what i mean.
@@husniehusnie3842 I think you misunderstood my real meaning. The reality of Malaysians political thinking is mostly clouded by parochial views created by race, religion or defiance attitude of an unfair governance. Not saying it is 100 per cent true but the large divide among the people is not helpful at all for a better, closer understanding about others. Each race sees their own views according to their interpretation. How Malaysians view China depends on how much one understands her. Even among the Chinese, many will see China through Westernised views, which may not necessarily be true.
@@dominicvoo7598 yes I agree & I understand whatever it isn't put political isue outside. In reality we are as Malaysian knows this country politics are rubbish. overall we know the right and wrong. Don't take too serious about politics. The true is, we still taking care each others like corvid 19 before all of them take care and helping to each other. My son study at Chinese school & now I'm also taking care a Chinese guy because he don't have parents, he staying in my house until now. We are same, we just have different religion only. ok Dominic have a nice day peace 😃✌️.
@@husniehusnie3842 actually I'm not criticising anyone just trying to put the facts straight and correct. I've always have good relationships with all races because I'm from the "old school" where we know how to separate issues as issues, not put it all together to create a bigger mess. We need to guide the young people to understand politics is not the end game for a better future for the people and Nation. Peace and blessings to you too bro.
As a Malaysian now living in Australia. I am 100% supportive of China and their positive influence in the world. Their BRI projects are clear examples.
That's Good, bro. I am Chinese and when westerners hear that they start saying negative things about China. I am not born in China though, but Chinese are also majority in Singapore and Malaysia.
I am Sarawakians Malaysians.We love China ❤ Sad to see interviewed someone who unable to express their opinion point of view on China nor interpretation whatsoever.However Malaysia and China has good connection apart from propaganda between the West and China has lot to say.Bad or good we take it very positively as a Malaysian.China brings the best into the world economically ❤ ~I’m following update economically how China massively spread their wings to Nigeria,Africa,Kenya help those country build up biggest shopping mall in the city.Those are the positive issue we wanted for the country’s growth 🎉
Most of the people who get interviews here are not local and mostly foreigners. This doesn't reflect accurately on local views. Generally most of the Chinese Malaysian here have positive view on China.
@@lyhthegreat it depends, i cannot speak for indians but for bumiputeras/malays: its very mixed. Some encourage china for their tourists, trade and development benefits. Some are afraid that china is buying too much property and assets in Malaysia to the point where our ex PM, Tun M decided to ban Chinese from buying the Forest Hill property in Johor. Some see China as a good boost for speedy development but are cautious that too much dependance on them can cause Malaysia to have too high of a debt like what happened recently with Sri Lanka. Some see them as bullies who want to control South China Sea from Malaysia, Vietnam, Philippines etc. Some dont know and dont really care like the ones in the video. So it really depends.
As a Malaysian myself watching this video, I find that not many Malayians were being interviewed, instead, it seems more people from other countries are living and working there (especially inner ring of Kuala Lumpur perhaps). And sad to say, an ordinary Malaysian speaks chapalang or rojak language (mixed language) in daily life, so it's really hard for us to speak a single language properly if not specially trained...
Guys try to street interview this topic when you guys in penang. I believe penang local will giving you a positive answer about china. And once again wish you guy will enjoy the local food when you guys in penang. And you also can find a lots of chinese culture and historical about china in penang. Especially SUN ZHONG SHANG MUSEUM.
I am from penang BM but living in china dongguan now. I had see so many positive thing in china at my own eyes! So for the people who never visit china pls dont judge china at negative way! You dont have a right to judge it before you visit or living in china. I can say china is the safety country in the world even better then malaysia and Melbourne. Cause i had personaly stay in this two country before.
Young Taiwanese ppl think Chinas government is crazy and the USA is a force of good was what I found interesting. Also the Indian-Malaysian negative views on China. Interresing the way they've been conditioned to think.
That's Good, bro. I am Chinese and when westerners hear that they start saying negative things about China. I am not born in China though, but Chinese are also majority in Singapore and Malaysia.
I am a Malaysian, I support the growth of China in our region. These few years has let me seen the worst of Western nations for all the trouble they caused all over the world.
To get a more accurate feedback, you should have conducted your interview in the interviewees'' own native language. Following that get (and show) an accurate translation in text. Furthermore, Taiwanese are Chinese. Asking them for their opinion on China is akin to asking an American Southerner, of their opinion on USA during the American civil war.
I am Malaysian. What do I think about China? 1. thank goodness for their reasonably priced machinery and equipment. It is an SME enabler for many developing countries. I can get a poultry processing line from China at a third of the price if from Europe. Ditto for excavators, cranes, etc. China plays a tremendous role as an economic enabler and multiplier because of its cheap goods, and innovative solutions. They don't price their goods like purely capitalist companies would. 2. thank goodness for their growing middle class, which with its huge purchasing power means that businesses that know how to sell value-added goods to them will earn more income. Example, durians, tiger prawns, high-end timber furniture, etc. 3. China have had centuries of trade relationship with the various Malay kingdoms without any wars. Malacca was thriving as a center of trade between China, India, and the various sultanates of the Nusantara and the Middle East. Then the Europeans came and destroyed Malacca and subjugated the local kingdoms and people and expropriate all the natural resources to Europe.
The approach to other countries and other civilizations between China and the West are diametrically opposite.
Well said. If it weren't for U$ meddling, China can develop faster and help better humanity for most part of the world. U$ is not only a hindrance for peace but also slowing humanity's progress.

I love Malaysia and Malaysians.. I am a Chinese living abroad, and I have some maylasian friends, they are wonderful people.
As a Pakatan Harapan Supporters, We welcome every tourists to Malaysia. I am quite favourable on China too.
@@kuraphlau03 sadly pakatan harapan parties like pkr and Dap are generally anti China and pro US. they receive fundings and support from NGOs associated with NED(National Endowment of Democracy) which is a front for the C1A in their regime change operatives overseas. Brian Berletic from the New Atlas uncovered quite a lot of this about PH politicians. Don't get me wrong, I am not pro BN and anti PH, I used to be pro PH anyway. nowadays, I am not partisan, less idealistic and more realistic about my political views. Malaysian alternative media such as FMT and Malaysiakini are pro US/Pro West fanboys and whenever they report about China or Russia, they bash them just like Western MSM do. Dap and PKR rhetoric are as woke and progressive as their counterparts in Europe or USA Democratic Party. Cheers!
Hi Lee, those people that you interviewed are not interested in China , many local older Chinese here are pro China , younger who study in Taiwan are pro Taiwan.
100%, Malaysians and Malaysian Chinese are some of the kindest, nicest people I've had the fortune to meet.
@@linket Thank You.
As a Malaysian, I can tell you that we have a very positive view about China. We benefit from their economy growth in our region which help to pull up ours as well.
Unfortunately my American friends react negatively toward anything positive about China. These white ghettos folks hate anyone with better life than white people. I used to be poor in USA. Now I am far better off. These people started distancing and full of bitter words about my rising. Similar situation domestically and internationally. Pathetic losers.

Hat off to you, Sir!
Glad that you didn't be mislead. God bless you.
Reasoning, the power of truth.👍
All anti-China news are propagated by the U.S, its Western and Asian puppets and their biased media. Decades ago when China was poor and backward, it was considered a friend for the simple reason that it could produce cheap goods. This was a time when every American could enjoy a good life with affordable products from China. The moment that China has progressed and developed to a level that nobody could have imagined, it is considered as a threat to U.S economic and military interests. So it is really about envy and jealousy. If tomorrow India becomes the second largest economy in the world, I can bet you, the U.S will treat it like how China is being treated.
Wow! I am Malaysian too. I have a quite positive view of China.

True. We all wish for peace and prosperity in all corners of the world. As Malaysians we live together harmoniously and view one another with friendliness
We have nothing against China..it's only the propaganda from the western..makes China look bad
You should have asked the Malays and the Malaysian Chinese for their views. Anyway, as a Chinese Singaporean who has both friends and relatives on both sides, we are staunchly supportive of China, esp those well read on world matters.
Afterall, we too have familial ties with Guandong people
since our grandpas landed in Malaysia and Singapore from the chaotic Opium Wars waged on the poor Chinese people by the UK, U$, France and the 8-nation Alliance which today is the G7 mostly.
Love you. From Malaysian 😘
It's wonderful to see that even we are in different parts of the world our roots are the same and I totally understand the sentiment expressed!
Really proud of you!
The enemy of the Malays is written on our Malaysian passport and we know which nations are actively financing the tumor in Middle East. Australian citizen Julian Assange exposed this so that's why he is being tortured* and held in Belmarsh, UK. Abandoned by his own nation, Australia.
*signs of torture confirmed by Nils Melzer, UN Special Rapporteur on Torture
I think the question is not define properly, the government of china is definitely oppressive even to their own people but the citizens in itself is not at fault.
Malaysia is one of the country Which is also with the ONE BELT ONE ROAD POLICY COUNTRY
Was obstructed by Mahathir who hate chinese
I am Malaysian. I am proud of my Chinese ancestry. I definitely have a positive opinion of China. 4 phrases about China that immediately comes to my mind : 1.strong and caring government 2. diligent and innovative people 3. 5000 yrs of rich history 4 impressive advance in science, technology, infrastructure, education, entertainment etc. I have visited China several times and I am looking forward to visiting it again. Everything there amazes me.
Well said. Most of us Malaysian Chinese have the same feelings towards our ancestors land.
I'm Malaysian, and here's my thought on China:
- I like most of the Chinese people from China, they're so damn hardworking no matter how you portrayed them (I mean few times hardworking than us Malaysians). Of course there are some people who are lazy, cuz their families are already rich before they came to Malaysia.
- People from China don't like to waste time, which is a good example for Malaysians to learn.
- Most of our construction industries, manufacturing industries are getting better because of the machinery/equipments/transportation we import from China. Yes, we rely on their machinery a lot.
- China is our largest trading partner for years, there's no doubt most of the things we used came from China, I'm grateful.
- Chinese people from China, they got better purchase power compared to us, Malaysians.
China has brought more benefits to our economy, that's the main point.
Let's hope for the best of china, since Malaysia is trying to become better in terms of development and economy, without US hegemony.
❤️❤️
how much china is paying you
With due respect, the stronger China is the less likelihood the retards will bully the Chinese in their midst. That goes without any questions are these adherents to the 7th Century faith does not understand other than violence.
the thing about china is they never interfere local governing policy
China is non interfering , unlike the US , self appointed international policeman !
They win friends by offering
help , improving infrastructure , directly improving lives of local population
They don’t preach and pontificate , blatantly , shamelessly practising double standards . The US has to stop thinking Asians are stupid , we read we travel , we are not insular
In Malaysia we stand with China.
That's Good, bro. I am Chinese and when westerners hear that they start saying negative things about China. I am not born in China though, but Chinese are also majority in Singapore and Malaysia.
Barrett , as a native Chinese Malaysian who speak Chinese & English & Malay & other Chinese dialect well also as a Malaysian who study both China and USA deep using their own language ,
i proudly give you my comment, i think that China have a positive influence on the world by showing how can the world live in another way of living beside then the USA way of living, China and USA are totally different in almost everything example the way of this 2 country to become world leader, USA use war and economic sanction to force other people to follow her while China use trade to make other people follow her.
respect researcher.
Now i going to talk bad thing about both USA and China, you guy know that this two country have a common weakness that is their health care system suck, rich and wealthy American and Chinese including both businessmans and government officers have access to special room and bed that only reserved for the wealthy while middle class and poor people have to wait in the government hospital for longer time and competing for bed depending on their luck

Welcome to Malaysia. Generally Malaysia works closely with China esp in trade, and we benefit from each others. We hope the bilateral relationship maintain and we want world peace.
The interviewees were hard to comprehend but the written comments are amazingly heart-warming, expressing deeply felt sentiments that us with Chinese roots can all resonate with. Many of us have families who left China during a traumatic 1.5 century when the Qing dynasty was weak, when the 8 Europeans looted China, when the Japanese invaded, or when the civil war began. But it's so nice to see so many who never forgot their roots. ❤️❤️❤️
Only the CCP looting Mainland now
Well said. No matter how many generations we are descended from our migrant forefathers we have not forgotten our roots. The overseas Chinese and Irish share a similar story in that our forefathers, driven by starvation and oppression, left their beloved homeland in great numbers. The starvation may be gone but the scars of oppression are still etched deeply within our hearts.
The interviewees are definitely hard to understand ….

Hello Team Barrett, lots of effort. A fascinating and in-your-face style of interview, lightly lifting the facade of media racism. Thanks
作为中国大陆的海外留学生, 令我十分感动的是 大多数马来西亚华人对待中国和华夏同胞是那么的亲切和友善. 个人之见，比大部分新加坡人更加亲切友善. 希望全世界的华人无论生活在世界那个国家, 都可以幸福稳定的生活, 共同见证一个伟大复兴的中国，给这个世界带来更多科技、基建、和平、稳定和发展。
主要还是因为有共同的语言，大部分马来西亚华人听说读写汉语都没问题；新加坡则只会说汉语，很多不会写，也看不懂中文，所以有更多的隔膜。

Definitely positive about China! The taxi driver is a Malaysian Indian and he is very much influenced by the tensions between India and China, probably the 1962 and recent 2020 skirmish. The Taiwanese tourists were very much influenced by their government of the day and probably the mass media at home.
You are correct, the Taiwanese tourists and the Indian taxi driver got their news from mainstream media which is anti China.
Good to learn how people in other countries think of China, look forward to more videos of this series
How about a series of what people think of the USA? You know, a country many people across the world called “The Great Satan!”
Ir's interesting for sure. The problem, certainly in places such as Canada; is the hypocrisy. No nation is perfect, but some focus on past grievances (as Canada apologizes for abuses 50+ years n the past) but todays abuses are not addressed. It's just a vicious cycle. So, when media here suggest China is our enemy, I ask "what are the leaders in Canada doing to address abuses here in Canada?"
In fact, I'd like to see a similar interview done on the streets of Toronto.

Hello Barrett,
Here's my opinion as a Malaysian Chinese.
A quote from the Three Kingdoms which every Chinese has watched on TV, one of the four major literature classics of China, states:
"He who wins the hearts of men is not far from ruling the world."
The same applies in the 21st century, where the internet makes information dissemination global.
My bet is on China because integrity and benevolence (a prequisite Confucian value for any government officials) will always triumph over hypocrisy and aggression as practised by USA and the West. China's foreign policy is win-win. USA's foreign policy is "if you are not with me, then you are against me" (Quote: George W Bush) Unquote: To hell with your freedom, it's my freedom over your freedom. A zero sum game mentality.
If USA wins, people around the world will get the status quo, a world full of sufferings in many parts of the world.
If China wins, there will be peace and harmony around the world, a better world. A global Singapore, so to speak, where people of different cultures and religions can live in a thriving global village.
USA rules by divide and rule, hence the constant wars and the global humanitarian crisis that follows, caused mainly by the West. Ukrainians and Russians will henceforth become enemies instead of friends.
China rules by uniting the world, hence the BRI, allowing global cultures to live in harmony. To live and let live. Finally, zero wars, unless of course, the West continues with their military imperialism.

China is the best country, they don't invade countries to make war.... China is a peaceful country, their aim is to help and develop the under privileged countries....
@Rayna Lee that day will come when the diabolical U$A self - destruct with their worthless $
When you wrote "China is a peaceful country, their aim to ...", you are referring to the China government NOT the Citizen of China. The China Government did invade Tibet and had attempted to occupy Vietnam in the history. Let's not to forget the "Xinjiang Police Files" - the suffering of Uyghurs - muslims in XinJiang for years. It is sad that Malaysians are still ignorance of what the China government has been doing at the South China Sea. And, regarding helping the underprivileged countries, they aren't sincerely help them but to trap them with debt to take something from them (e.g., Nepal, Africa, Pakistan, etc). Not to mention the China government sneakily installs their own police unit in USA, Canada, UK, etc to monitor their own citizens, which is illegal but so what, they don't respect law within China and other countries.

That's Good, bro. I am Chinese and when westerners hear that they start saying negative things about China. I am not born in China though, but Chinese are also majority in Singapore and Malaysia.
I would agree with some sentiments expressed here in the commentary. You’d get a more accurate portrayal of malaysian’s views on china by focusing on malaysians and not the foreigners. You’d need to venture beyond the touristy hotspots.
Even some Malaysian are acting like they don't know China. Chinese some more 🤣 .
@@bbharatillusion4574 As far as I can see, of all the interviewees, there was only one Malaysian Chinese (girl).
The rest are not Malaysian Chinese.
@@HuaWei-qk4vg it doesn't matter my friend, only those that are above 45 and Chinese schooled or learnt mandarin on his own, like me, know anything about Chinese history. The younger generations only learnt the language but have never touched the classics, which teaches about culture and history. But reading the classics is difficult. The only culture our young ones know are mostly about tai yat chi...like moon cake festival, CNY etc. The curiosity about ones ethnicity is not encouraged. The knowledge about the land of our forefathers are nothing more than economics and strong buying power to them nowadays.
Looking at how the Chinese in 🇨🇳 build their country, I am fully confident my forefathers really built the Great Wall..and we are truly a great nation...
@@bbharatillusion4574 👍👍👍
great job we love to hear like these. take care Lee and Oli, have fun in travelling
Thank you! 😃
@@BarrettYT I want to have an interview with you. Because I am also quite loving and favourable on China.
@@BarrettYT Maybe we can have Nasi Lemak together with you too.
I can't represent everyone from China, but I like Malaysia a lot, my sister married to Malaysian, and I met a lot of Malaysian people both in China and other countries, and we share a lot in common that's why when travelling abroad it's so easy to make friends btw Chinese and people of Malaysia. And we like their fruits a lot. In terms of politics, I would say as long as the people of Malaysia is happy with their political systems, I have no comment because I am just a foreigner, if visit Malaysia I am a guest, as a guest of course we should respect their society, political systems, it's their own internal affairs, they decide for themselves.
Malaysians r very upset on our political system n wishing to make change.
Ur sis can feel the atmosphere now.
@@Tia9752 That's your own internal issue, I just wish all are well and long live friendship btw China and Malaysia.
Good to note the diversified ethnicities / backgrounds of the interviewees. This will generate broader-based views. If you would pardon me, I hope the interviewers could try to manage your reactions (eg. Lee's reaction and personal comments to certain interviewees' views may inadvertently sway their opinions). Great job in gathering both positive and negative views instead of one-sided ones to pander to the likes of certain groups in this channel.👍
Hi Barrett, can you do one more interviews with local older Chinese at coffee shop or at wet market! Then you can see their reaction.
No doubt, that's where they came from...
Or same same uncles in KTV. Oh yeah, they already do that during their 'planning' meetings. Oddly, those uncles don't want to show face too.
@@justnow5809 dont be stereotype, these folks might be in their 50 or 60s, but they were born in the country! the first Chinese migration was back in 19th century
@@austinanderson7686 You misunderstood what I'm trying to say...what's wrong with more diverse interview?
China doesn't colonise or wage wars in other countries like the West. For thousand years China also maintains a good relationship with its neighbours ASEAN countries.
Yes
Hi from 🇲🇾.Perhaps you should conduct your interview with more well educated Malaysians and with those that are more well verse/fluent in English to give you a better feedback/opinion/perspective of what Malaysians actually think about China. Probably starting your walkabout surveys at Colleges / University institutions around KL.
@ebcho1, I totally agree with you. I am bilingual, I am a Malaysian I speak fluent Mandarin. The 6 Taiwanese don't understand Lee's questions, one of them translated wrongly as a result their answer dont make sense and contradicted with what they said at first.

The taxi driver said all thing coming from China are artificial 😢 then he mentioned iPhone, which is also made in China
Welcome to Malaysia. Thank you for conducting the interview in Malaysia. If you have asked the Malaysian viewers here in your channel, I bet that the percentage of positive responses will exceed 90 %. But then, this will not be a fair and random survey. Hence, your survey on the street of KL is important. Despite the small sample of interviewees, the outcome is significant in three respects. Firstly, the positive effects of China on the Malaysian economy is under-reported in the local mainstream media and non-Chinese multi-media. Secondly, the local political narratives which demonise communism and Malaysian Chinese dominance in the local economy, have created negative thought amongst the less-informed Malay and other non-Chinese population. Thirdly, the influence and legacy of Western ideas of freedom and rights present a difficult hurdle for some Malaysian and foreigners to comprehend the great improvement achieved in China today. It is therefore of utmost important that we do our part to improve the present situation . Last but very importantly, we should continue to support the BARRETTS in their good works. It is time we have a Barrett fan-club in KL and meet up over a Teh-tarik or a high-tea.
Thank you so much for your kind words, it's quite difficult to get people to speak on camera, and I think it's also important to get a cross section of people.
This is hilarious😂
Funny that the Indian taxi driver says China phones are `artificlal`and yet buy their handphone!!😂😂How `artificial` he sounds🤣🤣
He expect a much2 cheaper phone with the same quality as IPhone. However, China made phones are generally good quality n cheap. Most Indian in India use China phone.
that indian guy is a racist,so bias,arrogant n full of lies on china

@@kealee6350 YES 101%
I am appalled by the standard of English among the interviewees. Even an Australian's level of english ... wow.
Recall some years back when the govt tried to put the emphasis on the learning of English back on the school curriculam, it caused an uproar among the Malay nationalists that it was discarded. Some states even threw a fit when Chinese shopowners wanted to include Chinese together with Malay on their signboards.
@@123-h5i5y Hit the nail on the head！ 👏👏👏
Hmm, I disagree, seems like most of the Chinese interviewees were more on Chinese speaking side. From the way they talked, their broken pronunciation and grammar, I guess they are Chinese speaker in their daily life. How I know that, because that's how I speak in my real life. 😂🤣
English is not everyone's mother tongue
@@DukeLM Agreed. At least they are able to pronounce it correctly in English, right? Nothing to be ashamed. Asking those who are speaking in English, are they able to speak other languages in Malay, Chinese or Indian? English is not global language, remember that!
Lee, thanks for your great effort. Have a nice stay in Malaysia. You asked the wrong people about China. These people can hardly put together a meaningful sentence.
Hi, and thanks. Its really quite difficult to get people to talk on Camera.
I bag to differ...this an interview from the street and not a University interview... genuine feedback from layman had being ignored far too long.
@@BarrettYT I don't know about that... looks like you have selected a very poor sample of people 😂😂😂
The other issue is you use of rather "complex" language structure. You need to reformat your questions. Eg: "Do you have a Negative or positive Perception of China. "
The first few people you spoke to have absolutely no idea what you mean....
Perhaps a wrong day. I think a good spread will be a number of days. Is true those whom u managed to interview has poor command of English and could not expressed well. Also, not all are interested in international news so they could not express themselves.
@@dankschang if you asking for opinion at least get someone who can convay the message clearly. Else what can you proof? standard of malaysian english?
My gawd … that’s not at all a representation of Malaysians views on China. But the Taiwan youngsters are indeed interesting to a point where diving deeper on how they arrive to that conclusion would give a plethora of answers to how the opinions and views are formed.
Let it be told that the Barrets quest to uncover truths about China is magnanimous with all honesty and a little voice the best they can carry, AND that’s the attributes that I respect 💯 percent ! May your peace message be heard globally and thanks for sharing. Stay in good health Lee. 💪🏼💪🏼
Your just a dirty slag. Well done with the UN votes. All the dirty countries voted no. You win this battle. But, never will win the war.
The guy at 10:30 nails it. ALL INTERNET VLOGGERS exagerrate to get clicks. Including Barret. AMAZING that that the 6 Taiwanese kids support America! ("brainwashed!")
@@bartonlee3594 Interesting to is that they would entertain peaceful reunification with the PRC.
14:50 He totally put words into those Taiwanese people's mouths. There's no indication that they knew what the word "unification" means. It's more like they only understood and agreed with the word "peaceful". The guy in black said Taiwanese and Chinese people are similar to mean that they have nothing against Chinese people themselves, immediately after which, at 15:19, he says, "but the government is NOT," smiling to indicate that he believes he's saying something quite obvious. Barrett responds with "OK" with a tone of voice indicating that he understands but does not agree with the sentiment.
Barrett, do you have no shame taking advantage of people's bad English to make them look like saying something they aren't on the internet and distort your aduience's perceptions of a free people's views of China?

a bunch of naive Taiwanese young people 😄 US just interested in TSMC and earn $$$ from war. They don't even care about US citizens died from covid, do you think they care about Taiwanese people life in war?
Welcome to Malaysia. Selamat Datang Ke Malaysia. I think most of the people u interviewed r too ignorant of the current affairs.
Defamation. No problem! China has long been used to or numb! Facts have proved that the "freedom" of the West restricts the development of their own countries. But China's "dictatorship", "restriction", "no freedom" and so on are constantly improving people's lives and developing the whole China. Every country is like a family. Each family has its own way to live a good life. We should respect the way of life of each family. Instead of forcing them to live like themselves...
Well spoken! Thumbs up to you 😀👍
Totally agree!
Lee, it would be an equally good idea to interview people in different countries about their views on the US and UK 💪💪
Yeah like Syria, saudi Arabia, Russia, and Ukraine (to have at least 1 supporter MAYBE)
But sure he's to scared it would undermine his whole channel 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Taiwanese guys missed the unification part. I don’t think they fully understood the question. And I find it quite surprising that their English aren’t that good.
Yes,Their English is appalling🙈
Taiwanese can't even spell A~Z properly
Actually most people in the world can't speak English well. That is why the world average is only 15% for those who can hold a conversation in fluent English. As for the Taiwanese I am amazed that Taiwan is only 130km from China but their understanding of China and the US is so mess up. US is the bridge for both sides? Are you kidding me? US is using Taiwan as a cannon fodder to provoke China or in the worst case scenario to fight a proxy war with China to the last Taiwanese if China decides to unify Taiwan by force. I also think when TSMC is located totally in US, Taiwan will be less important to the US. But all these young Taiwanese have no idea about all that and never knew Nancy Pelosi visit could have been the death of Taiwan if the CPC had not restrained themselves from shooting down or stop her plane from landing.
The Taiwanese (at least the girl) didn't miss the unification part. She put her hands apart. It was Barrett who misunderstood it.
Nothing surprising and nothing has changed after 30 years. Even university students have a very poor command of both written and spoken English. Taiwanese people do not speak to each other in English whether in public or at home.
I am a Chinese American working in a university. I have met some Chinese Malaysian students. They all can speak fluent Chinese and are proud of their Chinese origin. This remains to be a wonder to me how the Chinese communities in Malaysia maintain the Chinese tradition and the love for the motherland. This is a unique phenomenon. I wonder whether the practices in Malaysia can be replicated in other countries that also have large Chinese populations, like the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, Japan, Australia, and the US.
First you need at least 40% of the population as minorities - to ensure there is no force assimilation programs by the govt. Then you need to make major religious and cultural festivals as national holidays. Malaysia has one of the most national holidays in the world. Thirdly, you need to artificially create clusters of Chinese/minorities areas. In the case of Malaysia, the govt created New villages as a response to curtail communism in the 50/60s, which unintentionally preserved the Chinese culture post-communism. Finally, allow minorities to have their own vernacular schools. 90% Malaysian Chinese study in Chinese schools.
@@coffeemug3009 we don't even have Chinese schools In other Chinese community
So you can even tell the difference between us and the Malaysian Chinese

Thanks, Lee for coming to Malaysia and speaking to random people on the street about their views of China. I wonder why our Malaysian English standard is so poor, what happened to our education system? And, speaking to Taiwanese people you sure get their negative opinions about China, but definitely not our Malaysian Chinese.

Not all Indians in India are ignorant about the good of China.
Don't allow yourself to be brainwashed by propaganda.
The west is worried that India and China will hug each other. We should promote China and India friendships.
😂😂😂😂😂
Strongly agreed. Just skip people from Taiwan and Indian, mostly you will get lots of positive comments
Can people decide how China affects them by themselves?
You're in Malaysia! Welcome mate! I didn't realised Malaysian English is that bad. Perhaps I've been mixing with people that speaks good English. Most I spoke to on the street can speak pretty good English.
Nowadays, most younger Malaysians have poor command of English. This is partly due to our education system which de-emphasized English in favour of the Malay language. Also most Malaysian Chinese prefer their kids to study in Chinese vernacular school unlike in the past, so they are better in Mandarin than in English. Still, in Malaysia, to have a good command of the English language is seen as prestigious but I believe this will dwindle in the future if our world becomes truly multipolar. I noticed older Malaysians of whatever ethnic group speak better English though - partly because they were educated when we just got our independence from the British and English as a school subject has not degraded to our current abysmal level.
Yeah agreed. Our Malaysian English so low meh?? 🤭🤭
@@arcturus4067 not really i think it depends on the upbringing more than schools. i notice a lot of malaysian younger generation (regardless of race) who spend a lot of time on the internet tend to consume a lot of western content. so they manage to have a better command in english than their parents. this is the new age, most kids learn from the internet more than schools since the internet has little to no restrictions.

Welcome to Malaysia Barret. Enjoy your stay. Great foods
I am Malaysian🇲🇾
I💗🇨🇳👍💪✌️
I am from Malaysia . Most Malaysians have a neutral view of China and most other countries. We are generally not too ideological on things. As a Malaysian Chinese, I have to say some within that community are staunchly anti China and pro Taiwan whereas some are anti Taiwan and pro China. I am not too sure of the proportion of those who have such strong views though. I was told by some 'Chinese educated' friends that Malaysian Chinese newspapers and media are pro Taiwan and Taiwan has strong influence on younger Chinese educated Malaysian Chinese. I can't be sure on this because I am a 'banana' and can't read Chinese (my mother tongue is Manglish , my Malay and English is better than my Mandarin). Perhaps Chinese educated Malaysian Chinese can share their perspective. I myself have positive views on China and generally pro China, surprisingly, despite being a 'banana' and more influenced by the West. Not too sure if there are many in other communities(Malays, Indians, Ibans, Kadazans and others) who have any strong views. Generally, we Malaysians are neutral and pragmatic people.
Wrong. Despite the government not wanting to be deemed to be with China, most Malaysians know the evils of the West.
We were a British colony and we should not be proud of it like you do, perhaps.
I won't hesitate to say I love China and everything Chinese, even the CPC because Malaysia's political system, like most other countries, any shit can get elected if he or she has money to give.
Can even get elect by fluke chance if the favourite is disqualified.
Taiwan is too tiny, can't do anything, the most news u got mainly came from US medias
"Most Malaysians have a neutral view of China" because Malaysians aren't aware of what the China government is doing in the world. ALSO, the vloggers used the word "China" has a hidden meaning. China as in the China Government Vs China as in the Country and the Citizens of China (Exclude the Government). They are different. When people ask you about China, you should as them back for specific. So, when people say "anti China", it means the China government. You have to be really clear what the people are referring to.
@@ahantu when I say Malaysians are generally neutral about China, I do mean the Chinese Government. And many educated Malaysians do know what China is doing in the world, and we also do know what USA and the West is doing too. We do know none of these great powers are Saints, all sides do sh1tty ev1l stuff. Malaysians are generally pragmatic and non ideological. What the Chinese Govt does in their own country is their own business. Generally we don't really care. For those Malaysians who are partisans or take sides though, I am sure they might be some Malays who dislike China due to the Uyghur issue much highlighted by MSM, or some Indians who will take issue with the Chinese Govt, or pro Taiwan /pro West folks who generally accept Western ideals of governance who will hate the Chinese Govt. This interview is not representative of Malaysian views of the Chinese Govt because many foreigners were interviewed rather than Malaysians. I still think most Malaysians (who generally have poor knowledge of geopolitics, we are more concerned about our situation within Malaysia, our businesses and our economy rather than ideological matters) will have a neutral view - what Chinese Govt does within China is none of our concern, Chinese govt do some bad stuff(we get these news from our media which parrot Western MSM, as well as Western MSM where educated Malaysians get their news from) but the same Govt improved China from dirt poor country to a rival of the usa(good + bad = neutral). That's my take even if we, including those who are well informed, are asked about the Chinese Government, except for a minority who may have strong views.
Within the pro anti-CCP/China international media environment,I'm glad to see u trusting China.
Welcome Mate to my hometown! Really love to see you visiting the beautiful city in KL. wish I could be there to see you!
You should interview Malaysian only as the title suggests
Shout out from a native Malaysian =) welcome to Malaysia the Barrett!
Sir, you interviewed the wrong group of people!!
The 1st guy is a malay; he has very low knowledge about China or any part of the world! The last guy is a cab driver of indian origin and indian has low opinion abt China; ask him abt India.. he will tell you a lot!!!
Agree!
Its not easy to get people to express their opinions on camera.
@Barrett as It said if u want something done, ask China. If u want something said, ask India and that cab driver is low educated person
I have lived in China with my family for 8 years ( my husband worked there for almost 20 years) and was fully immersed with their people and culture, living with the locals. Very hardworking , polite and humble . The older generation went through the hardship of Cultural revolution and being closed up for decades against the outside world, they seemed “crude” and impolite to the outside world but when you get to know them, you will be surprised about how genuine and warm they are and their eagerness to connect to the outside world. The next generation does better , are educated , polite and are more open minded in fact more advanced and forward thinking than many youth from other countries. Chinese rapid growth in wealth at big urban cities has also produced some black sheep who are proud and entitled , not behaving in foreign countries but these are only black sheeps though seemingly look like many it is because China has many people so look at it in context. The authority is also constantly educating its citizens on proper manners and behaviors. We should give time to a country who has opened up its door not too long ago and they have done very well. China is like a continent, urban rich at the coasts but there are still many poor people inland and it is a big job not any country could manage. I am proud of the efforts its government is putting into to improve the lives of many esp the poor and it is also a very big country to defend in case of attack so they need a huge army to do this job. From my opinion living there, it is a progressive country and not surprising many foreign expats from the West did not want to go back
You have managed to capture the opinions from a very diverse group of people. Surprise to learn there are are more negative thoughts of China than positive. keep up your good work👏👏
Hi Barret, I am Malaysian and was surprise you are in KL; otherwise you can interview me. Welcome to Malaysia.
Those young Taiwanese people OMG.
Same to me here. Fainted. Looks like they've been brainwashed seriously
Those young Taiwanese tourists disappoint me with their ignorance.
The last guy you interviewed looks like an Indian from India must be one of modi's hardcore fan. Lol
He got his news from Foreign News Section. It's written by AFP/AP rather than own journalist.
🤣🤣🤣
That’s very interesting! I like how Mr Barrett reacts to these people.
Thx much Lee for the great work!!!! As a Chinese living in Australia, I haven't been to Malaysia. So, I've found it very interesting to hear about their views. With regards to the interview with the group of young people from Taiwan, Lee you bravo!!! I did not expect that you'd be so straight forward. Well done Lee 👍👍👍👏👏👏
Thank you, really appreciate that.
i think you can ignore most of the opinions in this interview. it only proves that they are poor in English and not knowing a lot around the world. By the way i am Malaysian too.
this is interesting to see how people from different parts of the world view China. Thank you! I wanna see more of this kind interview.
You should come to the borneo part of Malaysia ( also known as the land below the wind). Most people who visit Western part(ie. KL ) only and never visit this part.
Yet we have the most attractions like the highest mountain range in sea and Danum valley( also known as the lost world).
Plenty of beaches and islands with world class sunsets and dive spots.
That's just to name a few.
Generally most people here have mixed views about China or US. But normally just neutral about it.
Here in the borneo part of Malaysia a lot of people used to look up to the Queen of England. Guess it's because we are still the commowealth part of the British Imperialism.
But all these have started to deminish as Britains influence wanes among the younger generation.
Even the US is losing ground these days as the younger generations have a different mindset towards our world today.
Perhaps it is the trend or new age, I dunno.
Diffinately the world is changing.
It's so realistic now which European people are so old-dated, they don't know how China so advanced today while them being fed by Anglosaxon medias
Very unfortunate that those you interview really have not much understanding about China. Generally, young Malaysians are not that interested in politics that do not affect them directly in their everyday lives. In our multiracial society, it's usually the Chinese people who are more interested about what's going on in China, for the Indians, India political goings-on may pique their interest more. The local Malays is more concern about the local politics because they think it will affect them most even if it affects all Malaysians as well. For the foreigners, they have their views usually coincide with what their country portrays.
that is the point, most people don't care about politic... we are not that brainwash by media to give a damn.
Dominic voo Malay people know about china mainland politic. We are Malay love all Chinese people not only Chinese in china. Since the sultan of Malacca until now we believe our relationship thats why now we have peranakan Baba Nyonya. Malay people know what the point is, we want to take care of their heart that why we didnt want to have problem because we love all them. I hope you understand what i mean.
@@husniehusnie3842 I think you misunderstood my real meaning. The reality of Malaysians political thinking is mostly clouded by parochial views created by race, religion or defiance attitude of an unfair governance. Not saying it is 100 per cent true but the large divide among the people is not helpful at all for a better, closer understanding about others. Each race sees their own views according to their interpretation. How Malaysians view China depends on how much one understands her. Even among the Chinese, many will see China through Westernised views, which may not necessarily be true.
@@dominicvoo7598 yes I agree & I understand whatever it isn't put political isue outside. In reality we are as Malaysian knows this country politics are rubbish. overall we know the right and wrong. Don't take too serious about politics. The true is, we still taking care each others like corvid 19 before all of them take care and helping to each other. My son study at Chinese school & now I'm also taking care a Chinese guy because he don't have parents, he staying in my house until now. We are same, we just have different religion only. ok Dominic have a nice day peace 😃✌️.
@@husniehusnie3842 actually I'm not criticising anyone just trying to put the facts straight and correct. I've always have good relationships with all races because I'm from the "old school" where we know how to separate issues as issues, not put it all together to create a bigger mess. We need to guide the young people to understand politics is not the end game for a better future for the people and Nation. Peace and blessings to you too bro.
try to visit the coffee shops/stalls. You would find people more willing to talk to you there.
Yea kopitiam kaki
Ya, especially politics.
As a Malaysian now living in Australia. I am 100% supportive of China and their positive influence in the world. Their BRI projects are clear examples.
That's Good, bro. I am Chinese and when westerners hear that they start saying negative things about China. I am not born in China though, but Chinese are also majority in Singapore and Malaysia.
i think those taiwan young ppl may not know what ROC means...
Welcome to Malaysia, my birthplace.
Another great episode mate ! Love it very much !!!
Welcome to Malaysia.
I so hope you do the same in Jakarta specifically its districts with large ethnic Chinese population ❤😂!
Wow, you interviewed foreigners rather than malaysians ....the number of foreigners in malaysia 😪
I am Sarawakians Malaysians.We love China ❤ Sad to see interviewed someone who unable to express their opinion point of view on China nor interpretation whatsoever.However Malaysia and China has good connection apart from propaganda between the West and China has lot to say.Bad or good we take it very positively as a Malaysian.China brings the best into the world economically ❤
~I’m following update economically how China massively spread their wings to Nigeria,Africa,Kenya help those country build up biggest shopping mall in the city.Those are the positive issue we wanted for the country’s growth 🎉
Most of the people who get interviews here are not local and mostly foreigners. This doesn't reflect accurately on local views. Generally most of the Chinese Malaysian here have positive view on China.
what about the malays and indians?
@@lyhthegreat it depends, i cannot speak for indians but for bumiputeras/malays: its very mixed. Some encourage china for their tourists, trade and development benefits. Some are afraid that china is buying too much property and assets in Malaysia to the point where our ex PM, Tun M decided to ban Chinese from buying the Forest Hill property in Johor. Some see China as a good boost for speedy development but are cautious that too much dependance on them can cause Malaysia to have too high of a debt like what happened recently with Sri Lanka. Some see them as bullies who want to control South China Sea from Malaysia, Vietnam, Philippines etc. Some dont know and dont really care like the ones in the video. So it really depends.
As a Malaysian myself watching this video, I find that not many Malayians were being interviewed, instead, it seems more people from other countries are living and working there (especially inner ring of Kuala Lumpur perhaps). And sad to say, an ordinary Malaysian speaks chapalang or rojak language (mixed language) in daily life, so it's really hard for us to speak a single language properly if not specially trained...
You should interview the local Malaysian who can speak proper English . I am surprised that the locals are quite stupid with their answers .
Agree
Guys try to street interview this topic when you guys in penang. I believe penang local will giving you a positive answer about china. And once again wish you guy will enjoy the local food when you guys in penang. And you also can find a lots of chinese culture and historical about china in penang. Especially SUN ZHONG SHANG MUSEUM.
I m from penang too, I support China
I am from penang BM but living in china dongguan now. I had see so many positive thing in china at my own eyes! So for the people who never visit china pls dont judge china at negative way! You dont have a right to judge it before you visit or living in china. I can say china is the safety country in the world even better then malaysia and Melbourne.

Young Taiwanese ppl think Chinas government is crazy and the USA is a force of good was what I found interesting. Also the Indian-Malaysian negative views on China. Interresing the way they've been conditioned to think.
Malaysian love China! I do. Most of the people you spoke to can’t speak well and don’t have much information and knowledge about foreign news.
That's Good, bro. I am Chinese and when westerners hear that they start saying negative things about China. I am not born in China though, but Chinese are also majority in Singapore and Malaysia.
Welcome to Malaysia!

I am a Malaysian, I support the growth of China in our region. These few years has let me seen the worst of Western nations for all the trouble they caused all over the world.
To get a more accurate feedback, you should have conducted your interview in the interviewees'' own native language. Following that get (and show) an accurate translation in text.

出国留学期间认识了好多大马华人，由于我也是少数民族对他们能在异国他乡还能保持说中文这件事，报以最崇高的敬意，因为真的很难，不单单是一个学校的问题还有很复杂的东西需要克服。希望这么优秀的大马华人的事迹，多多宣传，大马华人值得更多的尊重。
台灣青年被蔡政府洗䐉洗得好緊要....
