Would Chinese Date Foreigners? - Intermediate Chinese | Chinese Conversation | Street Interviews

- Опубліковано 31 тра 2020
- Street interviews is the best format to provide Mandarin students with a variety of Chinese accents and REAL spoken Chinese - not the scripted, artificial, standard Mandarin that you hear from Chinese teachers but that you will rarely hear on China's streets! This is REAL Chinese conversation!
In this street interview, Eileen asked Chinese the following questions:
1) Would you consider dating a foreigner?
2) Foreigners from which country would you want to date the most?
3) Foreigners from which country are you least interested in dating?
4) If you had a foreigner boyfriend / girlfriend, what would be the reaction of your family and friends?
5) In China, we often see foreign guys with Chinese girls, but rarely do we see Chinese guys with foreign girls. Why do you think this is?

I came here not interested in mandarin language, but rather to know chinese opinion on dating foreigners, but I do have to admit it is pretty useful to have the video subtitled both in mandarin writting aswell as diction, great job, even learnt a few mandarin words!
Its sad that Chinese don't know a thing about the outside world as the media in China is heavily regulated and censored and gives the news or viewpoint of the world which the CCP want to propagate....Also the hegemony of western media portraying themselves as good guys but the fact the western woman are disrespected in more ways u can think of and not just that men from western countries travel Asia for sex tourism speaks a lots about men from the west (of course not all men) but the west think they can judge any Asian countries because they fill superior and show the negative news coming out from that relevant countries....and here these innocent Chinese people fall in trap of what their CCP Control media show them which is obviously all negative thing about India as they can they can't compete with India's vast diversity and ancient history and culture....India's influence can be seen all over Asia through its culture and family values which is entirely different from the west.....India was a great civilization that ruled Asia for 1500 years and Buddhism and kung fu comes from India but these will not be taught in China as they want to project China as a supreme power in Asia.....and its the innocent Chinese people who fall for all these biased views and form their own conclusion....Note: all these are from my Indian point of views.
@@robinrahul3355 Yeah, I have a perception that they have a negative POV about black people.
On the lighter note, most Indian also don't like Chinese....so most probably most Indian will prefer Indian from other state as Indian comes in all type of shape, size, form & color like white looking Indian, Brown looking Indian, Black looking Indian, Asian looking Indian, fat Indian, slim Indian, short Indian, tall Indian...India is a world in itself.....unlike homogeneous society like China...😂🤣😂 and also most Urban Indian speak better English than the US or England..
@@robinrahul3355 True, have in mind India was heavily colonized by britain so its expected english is a known language there, they speak It well but have a peculiar accent hehe.
"English people are very kind and warm" She clearly has never been to Birmingham
of course, Birmingham... and Newcastle
There aren't many English people in Birmingham
They are kind to her because she is a woman.
There are no English people left in Birmingham.
so naive
"Which Asian country"
"Belarus"
I died
He should have said Tatarstan, province in russia, still on the european side, but there ppl look like tall blonde chinese (at least some I know).
looks like chinese are as good as americans on geography
Well, think about it, China and Belarus is only separated by 1 country, Russia
@@Seri0aguero Americans know where Belarus is. They just don't know where Alaska is.
HAHA😂😂
The young man said it best "we are all human"
A little over 30 years ago I had a Chinese girlfriend. She was studying in Canada and we met at one of her jobs. We dated for five years, but in the end she called it off because I wasn't making enough money, while she had a great job. While she was in university she was asked by her friends if she was trying to get Canadian citizenship by marrying me (she wasn't). Another factor was that her parents didn't approve at all. I met them only twice in those five years but her dad was really against me, the mom probably a bit more open to me. I know she now has American citizenship, but she earned that on her own before she married. No idea what race person she married, but she did tell me that if she dated a black guy her parents would really hate that. She's now a vice president of a health insurance company. I have no right to be, but I am proud that she has been very successful in what she chose to de. Very happy for her.
I strive to be like her parents
Jeez, they're evil everywhere.
@@ivanivan5511 No they are based. China knows the importance of preserving the race.
No parent that cares about their daughter would allow them to marry a broke foreigner. Especially in China. And you're right, they're against black race mixing even more as they should.
She was probably working for the CCP the whole time. Probably still is.
the best answer ever "because we are all human beings"... that's the mindset
Ikr, I thought the same. Whatever race you are we all have the same body, (besides male/female of course)
@William Baric kek
Unfortunately...not many people have that mindset, especially now with western media Propaganda promoting racism against Chinese
So? I still prefer my own people over everyone
Still okay to have preference of couse but that mindset is good.
"Would you date a foreigner?"
"Yes, we're all this same"
"From Africa?"
"Sorry out of time, gotta go."
Lol can't blame them

What a nice channel. I'm learning Chinese language and reached HSK-2 level, so I almost can understand what it says. And subtitles help a lot. Thanks you, I subscribed.
Wow! The interviewer is very skilled, asks penetrating questions, and gives a throughout perspective. I subscribed!
I laughed at the guy who said he can't date a japanese because she might be in a film 🌚😂
Yes he had very good humor
When he was talking, at first, I was like, "Hmm... Is this a WWII thing?" Then, I was like, "Oh...he's talking about AV." :P
If you ask me that's a point in her favor
@@Rationalific me too)
and at the end, the only reason for more chinese girls dating foreingners is the size! T.T wth, he's watching too much hentai
"-I'm more into girls from Asian countries"
"-Which Asian countries?"
"-Argentina."
globalization here
lol thats the American education system for ya.
my favorite asian country is belarus
hhhhhhhhh
@@stuka80 were you educated in America? Because they were poking fun at the Chinese woman in the video who said she'd consider dating foreigners if her English was better, but then said her preference would be men from France...
That last guy was hilarious ." THE SIZE REASON" 😂😆
This is the most real way to learn about Chinese people and not to try to learn from the mainstream fake media. Very insightful, 👍👍👍
Beautiful irony that videos like this are the most fake thing on the internet. If you think cherry picked fake answers edited to pretend random chinese people like foreigners you should be wearing a helmet for safety lol. China are unquestioned and factually the most racist and horrible country on earth to foreigners especially foreigners from other asian countries like japan or korea. Never even think of going to china. You would walk in a restaurant if you didn't get kicked out straight away they would bad mouth you in chinese behind your back while spitting in your food.
@@slayerr4365Based Chinese
So true, this channel is the number one when it comes to showing how Chinese people feel and see things
"I like Englishmen. They are gentlemen."
I think she didn't watch the euro this year
I don't think so unless she time traveled form 2018 to 2021
You really have no idea how male/female relational culture is in other countries.
There's divs in every part of the world can't pin it on everyone La
So you dont like Bald and Bankript then? 🤣☺️
watch Euro ?
The guy who said "they're more open-minded and don't keep things to themselves" is the only one who's actually thinking about a relationship in a mature way. Everyone else is focused on the appearance and superficial factors.
I live in China, unfortunately things are like this
I thought much the same thing. Same with the girl earlier and her comments about “values’. Very circumspect and very saddening to see them forced to speak that way.
And most of them are 25 and younger and this is pretty much exactly how young folks here in USA are. LOL Have you ever heard the saying , youth is wasted on the young . No really thats how young people feel . They will mature, and their perspectives will change .
@@carocard7074 how come you can use youtube tho? Arent you under a dictatorship?
Probably is because of their regime that isolate most of their people from oversea cultures . China won´t be the great worldwide superpower with that kind of people .
I am surprised Australia wasn't mentioned more. a lot of Chinese people that come to study here speak really highly and many end up relocating here.
澳洲太“土”了🤣🤣

These videos are great. I only wish I would have had these back when I lived in China. They would have made my Mandarin 10x better than it is.
Foreigner for most asian people = "White, tall, blond, blue eyes"
@Isabelle Charmley "Foreigner/外国人/老外/洋人" is 99% of the time based on race. Viewers of this channel need to remember that. So, when they say "foreigner", they generally aren't talking about Koreans or Japanese at all. I personally find this very distasteful and racist, especially since Chinese people continue to call locals "foreigner/外国人/老外/洋人" when they visit places like Denmark. In fact, even when I visit China, I reject being called "foreigner/外国人/老外/洋人" if the term is on the basis of race. I only accept the term/s if (a) a Vietnamese person (for example) is equally a foreigner to me; (b) the Chinese person using the word fully accepts that s/he is a foreigner whenever they are outside China, even in a Chinese migrant community, such as Singapore; and (c) the topic of conversation necessitated the category. With (c) if it's about whether people can('t) eat spicy food, then the category is totally irrelevant, because it's far more likely that a Westerner eats pepperoni salami, wasabi or Indian curry than a Chinese person.
@Isabelle Charmley I know about 川菜, but that doesn't mean Chinese people are the only people on the planet to eat spicy food. Try doing a google image search for 外国人 and see what you come up with. I'm giving your comment a like because you're such a good sport.
Thats me! I want to travel to asia one day just to see if they treat me like a alien
@@MrJuzzi3 There are subtle things as well... If you happen to speak Chinese, try your luck getting people to speak to you normally in the local language without (a) breaking into English all the time, or (b) gushing praise. Many don't notice this subtle form of discrimination because they're just so relieved the other person speaks English.
@@user-ed7pu5uj3q I dont speak chinese and i really didn't get the part about discrimination. Do you mean that going to china and trying to speak english to the locals is discriminating?
Interviewer: What kind of foreigners do you like?
Them: All the white kind...
Honestly I live in the Netherlands but when I’m talking to my family about foreigners I’m usually talking about white people (and in some cases black people). I don’t really see Asians as foreign.
@@stanleyho8009 are you asian ethnicity , though?
@@ThamizhanDaa1 yeah that’s what I meant, as an Asian.
I think the whiter (in skin color) you are in china the more beautiful u are because being more yellow is usually associated with being poor and working on a farm in the sun
@@bluu3268 or associated with south China which considered as less-han(major part of Chinese nation) than north.
I was looking for such a channel, and finally I found it! This will pair nicely with my duolingo grinding, thank you :)
I love how honest they are. I don't know why people are being offended. It's preference at the end of the day.
Beta comment, but thank you for participating.
A preference is choosing 1 thing over another if given the option for both or multiple. It's offensive and racist to say brown skin looks ugly or white skin looks sickly.
True. Negs and Brownies are so annoyingly entitled and insecure.
i am from Belarus, didn't know i am Asian lol

Overall, I found the video to be informative and engaging. It's always great to learn more about other cultures and gain a better understanding of the world around us.
Nice informative video! Thanks for posting!
by foreigners they actually mean "white foreigners"
@Frumentarii They're associating whites with intellectual prowess, industrial might, high standards of living and culture that privileges women. Especially for the girls, given the context of a relationship, those are the reasons why the're immediately thinking about native Europeans and Americans ("whites") - they're aspiring for good living.
@S Tra Totally agree, but what strikes here the western men who are conditioned by the liberal political narrative of media, Hollywood, Netflix etc is that they openly aren't "inclusive". They don't seem to feel 'guilty' that 'the different' which you refer to, does not include what we would call in the West 'people of color'.
no, africans, indians....etc too. many naive chinese easy girls think all foreigner are rich, well educated gentlemen, even if they are from poor countries where women are treated as subhuman
@@poli4869 Perhaps - I only know few Chinese people (rather educated) personally but for the girls in the video at 7:44

Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time.
Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.
(19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad)..

It's pretty crazy to see that girl shiver and shake her head when saying "i don't like them. they're big and black". If someone over here said that we would be shocked
she mean they' are too tall
The irony that the Chinese can say whatever they want while our leaders claim they are SO oppressed. Here we go to jail because we wrote something controversial on Facebook.

22:34 the real hero of this video, his humor and playing the stereotype card was just next level
I’ve only seen about six minutes of this video, and my impression is that the people here long for a change in culture, to reach out and touch other people of the world and enjoy their company and possibly culture. You say you are reserved or conservative and that we are more open minded and this may be true but I see more likeness in us all than you may think. I’m happy to see how much more similar we are. My grand father spoke seven languages when he was alive, one was Chinese but I don’t know if it was Cantonese or mandarin. Also the university of Berkley calls my people the perfect human. Check out their study. I know that the leadership there in China is not the best, but I’m glad that the people would rather be barbecuing and having a good time than fighting and being paranoid. Good bless you.

The interviewer is quite excellent. I hope she has a career professionally like in a news network.
I agree 100% neutral and unbiased on her end
I hope she continues to make UA-cam videos and I hope she makes a ton of money doing so (although she probably doesn’t).
4:50 Bless this gentleman. I hope he has a great life!
I laughed so hard from the last guy. From my own experience i think the biggest reason is culture and language barriers. My fiancé is chinese and she was certain her family would not accept her having a foreign boyfriend. Fast forward a year when she finally dared to introduce me to her family. They were sceptical at first, but after an hour or so they became more and more comfortable. She was rather suprised over theyr reaction. There was one term tho and that was i was not allowed to marry her until i speak chinese, so here we are.
Any leads on learning Chinese
你今天说不说中文？*
EDIT: thanks James for the correction
Great story sharing
@@sasino Hey! Just to let you know in case you didn't already, 吗 isn't necessary after a question in that (verb)不(verb) form that you used. You can either phrase the question as '你说中文吗?' or '你说不说中文'. That being said, I'm also curious. Hey OP! 你现在中文怎么说？
@@Tellytubbiesgolarge Thank you very much 💚 A Chinese friend just corrected this mistake of mine yesterday
I'm about 40 days into learning mandarin from duolingo these subtitles are awesome for learning characters.
How are you doing with learning the tones? I find I struggle more with that and am good at the characters.
@@naria2224 they don't explain it in duolingo but funny enough we do have same tones in english but use them when implying intent of sentence. Rising tone is exactly the same as when you imply a sentence is a question in english for example. Rewiring my brain to put that mid sentence was a challenge at first but getting used to it. I'm about 80 days into it now.
@@mykulpierce wow, how is your progress now
how good is duolingo on higher levels ? i started duolingo basic lessons on Japanese and they didnt teach much. Nothing really useful that i couldnt have figure out before.
Well, I respect their honesty.
The guy that says 'Fate'/'Yuanfen' , be awesome to connect and be friends, brother :D - And others too. Just love your personality
"Because i feel the babies will be very cute !" - there's our honest girl, lmao :D
These stories are the best way to learn. You can go back over and over, again and again even on facial expressions/body language. I think it teaches more than just the written and spoken language. Thank you Eileen and company.
Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time.
Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.

I was actually shocked by many of the answers.
This is from 3 years ago, but we are so in
"Which country in Asia?"
"Belarus"
My dude I have no idea what you meant to say there but I laughed my ass off
Instead of creating this meaningless video focus on chain , Chinese people doesn't have any freedom inside china to talk about cruel government , I feel so pity for Chinese people , unlike the other countries Chinese people cannot enjoy democracy , they have to be in fear of government always .
@@linghua209 The teaching system is also bad. You learn maths, english and chinese. There are no other subjects at primary school. You often do homework to about 10 at night everynight except for occational holidays. There are test every week and anything less than 100% is a fail. I have ended up with visible bruises, and school is the main reason I live in England now.
Ummm, where do you think Belarus is bruh, LOLZ
@@rhianimal19 Off course, we all know that Belarus isn't european at all.
@@NoName-hv7xn Apparently not that guy
She’s a good interviewer...she asks the right follow up questions.
17:43 that guy is fantastic . he's really the coolest guy in the video . he doesn't need confidence with his uniqueness and smile .
I like the way you "Smiled" at the very end of the video.
After living there for 2 years and teaching adult students, it seems easy to start a relationship in China as a foreigner, a lot of students were quite forward with me about that, but they also have quite a traditional expectation about relationships - they plan to get married eventually, they don't just date casually. So take that into account and be responsible about entering into relationships with them. Oh and the parents probably won't like you if you don't already have a house!
@anshu lieyi This ^
anshu lieyi black fella here . Regarding relationships in china it depends on the person I would say. been here for about 4 years and some people would tell you from the start that they are looking for a serious relationships while others just date casually. Chinese folks in general find white folks more attractive which is fine that’s why you should bring more to the table beside your look, if you eat well and stay fit you’ll still be attractive and have some more confidence don’t make it an excuse just because you were born that way. You have to be responsible as well. Cheers
@anshu lieyi That's not always the case. I've studied in China before. Although what he said is mostly true, it applied to me and I'm NOT full blown white(I'm a brown Hispanic). Many Chinese might say they prefer something, but they do like a guy that treats them right as well. Talking from experience, I'm still talking to the same girl since I came back from the states 3 years ago(We communicate daily). We've been planning to meet soon again. Constantly we've been planning how we can continue our relationship without distance. So, I'm considering moving to China for her mostly and I just enjoyed my time in China. It has so much to offer cultural and history wise.
Easy when you're white, black and brown people in Asia don't get the same reception here, there's a lot of subtle racism and the level of ignorance towards issues of race here is astounding. Been living in China for 2 years now, so I know too.
@Jack Frost wow really? I'm a Slav girl and i agree with you if we're talking about 20 years back period. Big families with kids? - rather a nightmare(and i'm not speaking about myself only). A man-provider? - huh, have you seen many of those?))))) I'm from Ukraine and saw that scenario only in films made in USSR...
i like their honesty
The guy on 1:50 was honest and that is what appreciated mostly.
Very interesting to see the perspectives of young persons in China.

*Access the playback speed controls as follows:*
*Desktop Computers and Laptops:* open the video, then go to the *lower right of the video's screen* and click on the *settings* icon (it looks like a GEAR). On the upper right of the options window that comes up, you will see the link "custom". Click on the "custom" link to control the video's playback speed by speeding up or slowing down the video 5% at a time.

Interesting! Thank you, Eileen! Please tell me: in which city was this captured? The accent of the people interviewed sounds different to me. Could they be somewhere near Fujian?
I love how many different opinions they have, very interesting interview! The guy at 9:00 is very handsome
Okay, as a person of Belarus origin, I guess I will claim I'm actually Asian from now on =)
I think that one might have genuinely been a compliment towards Belarus. Maybe the Chinese historically and politically feel more associated with Russia, the former Soviet Union and the Russophone sphere in general. Maybe then for the Chinese, Belarus doesn't feel that distant after all. I mean, they were more negative in this video about truly Asian countries like India; like the girl at 7:36, that described India as a "remote, far away country", whereas it's literally a neighbor country. But apparently Belarus (and I guess Russia and the Ukraine too) feel probably less distant to the Chinese than (their political rival) India.
Belarus is my favorite Asian-American country

Yeah ... she laugh ... ha ha ha ... be ready for a hell of devastating relationship. I know this kind of woman in Japan, looks like they follow the same pattern ...
They will date you, they will pretend that they like you, just to get involved in a relationship to get pregnant as fast as they can. She will not love you, she will not treat you as a real partner. She will take your child from you, and they will disappear from your life, and you will have to continue paying to her for the child´s care.
I have some friends that falled in love with this kind of asian woman, (they just want to show how cute their babies are, gives them some kind of reputation or something like that) and i promise you, if you want to throw your existence to the toilet, this kind of woman it is perfect for you.

@@ExtroLurkerhaz - The average Chinese is actually better travelled and therefore more worldly than the average Westerner.... and they start to learn English from a very young age which means the majority of them are bilingual or at least semi-fluent...

I feel like most people that haven't been to other countries have a skewed perception of foreigners, be it for better or worse. These people seem to think all foreigners are open and welcoming and such. But I think that's more of a trait that is common in people that like to travel and experience new cultures and people rather than foreigners in general.
This is a gold mine of good phrases, thanks. Hopefully it can help me. Seeing visuals and getting the feeling that people are communicating is very powerful for memory, I think.
*In this street interview, Eileen asked Chinese the following questions:*
1) Would you consider dating a foreigner?
2) Foreigners from which country would you want to date the most?
3) Foreigners from which country are you least interested in dating?
4) If you had a foreigner boyfriend / girlfriend, what would be the reaction of your family and friends?
5) In China, we often see foreign guys with Chinese girls, but rarely do we see Chinese guys with foreign girls. Why do you think this is?
5. Chinese guy tend to be dominate, foreign girls (from West) are more towards equality. Chinese's "face" culture+ "male patriarchy" concept is clashing " individualism" culture.
10:17 - The guy that doesn't want to date Japanese girls because he might recognise them from adult films has a lot of explaining to do 🤣🤣🤣
Just like to point out what I know. But also what not always is realised. And that is how the whole world is 99% similar. All the people in the video could literally be all European and they would say, react, feel the same way with the same openness. The same for the whole rest of the world. That is what I love. What I mean with that ultimately is that, sometimes this platform on certain videos about Conflicts around the world from government perspective, which by the way trickles down to thinking you should stand by your government even if it is hurting other nations or neighbors next to you. Which is where we see polarizing reactions. yeah ALL you are like this. ALL you are like that. There is no all at all. Most of us are literally 99% the same around the world. The same feelings, the same kindness in us and the same openness. We literally all think how lovely it would be to interact with a European, or a Asian or American or African. That is what I like. And that is also what I can see in such videos.
And ps. The videos of conflicts which shows polarizing answers. These are internet based. We feel the need to be very hard and black and white on the internet. Or else we think others are not hearing us. But lets say someone is very black and white on a video. Don't you think this person in reality may easily have been purswayed by a smart and kind person to think otherwise? I have some fears and definitely doubts about the Chinese government. And it's also my right as someone who investigates a lot. I have real credible fundaments for that. But I am not going to say China is bad in everything. Not at all. A country exists out of 1 million different things. And that is what I mean. Polizaring and black and white is like everything is being reduced to 1 thing.
In a alternative timeline maybe I would have been making a Chinese girl extremely happy in a wonderful relationship. And in another alternative world I would have done the same with a person from every country in the world as the same person that I am. And Im sure I could find many wonderful things I could enjoy in all countries.
Literally we are much much closer to eachother than we think.
Also. I met a Chinese girl. I influenced her a lot with a county that I love dearly, which is Greece. She is in love with it too now as I showed her many things and she went to Greece for the first time and said that never had she experienced such a special holiday ever. Nowhere on earth. I loved her reaction and experience a lot. And what was also lovely is when she was sharing throughout the year moments like: today we have this tradition, and another day we celebrate that! it was lovely. and I did the same back. She then saw that Greek and Chinese traditions may have even much more similarities and she would even say, that maybe some of the Chinese dancing traditions may have indirectly come from some Greek influences when we would be sharing lovely things.
Point with all this is again, there is much more similarities in many things. than meets the eye. and also that people, if they are curious would only enrich eachother. Enrich!
These subtitles are so great for a beginner Chinese student like me. Thanks for a lovely video!
4:14 lol their English teacher is definitely a liar
England just full of chavs and roadmen lmaoo
that's what they say to keep their jobs
@@mirimeii and racists too..although australia beats them in that regard
Bunch ov' wankers in Britain
eh depends on what circle you're in, and what regions you live in. e.g. West London is generally quite nice (I am 耳濡目染 biased towards it though lol), South > North London and South > North England, ;), but also you generally get quite warm and comfortable people where you stay in the nicer areas.
As an English speaker learning Chinese, these videos with the pinyin are great!
What is considered to be the most proper or classical accent in Chinese?
Maybe you can find out in journalists from CCTV
Liao Ning Province, or Shanghai Mandarin, no doubt. They speak best.
I was dating a Chinese girl 2 years ago. Japanese are considered foreigners, right?
She said yes i would date a Canadaian. Then the reporter asks did you study in Canada? She says no, the US. LOL I fkin died, priceless. Even foreigners in the US see Canadians as way more polite than hte Americans.
More polite maybe, but you aren't nicer people than Americans. You'll just wait till people are out of earshot before you start insulting them.
@@huntertuggle2667 Who you talking to lmao, I just did an observation, I'm not Canadian.
@@GangeHrolfr Okay, my bad.
Taking 1 person's comment and perspective and extrapolate that to say foreigners ("...in the U.S....") is about as silly as your presumption itself. As a non-Caucasian American, I find the comments predictable. Despite their economic might, Chinese still have a deep inferiority complex to Caucasians, and despite their dependence on African for much of their commodities, Chinese in general have a disdain for people of dark complexion... again nothing new.
only if you know all humans are for no shit but event of nature. the best partner will depend on how you chill with together. some chicks here are just chasing skin color not personality. just saying it.
As a German born Cantonese who studied in China, it is really funny for me how I can confirm the prejudices xD
Don't want to be offensive but the majority of the people I met weren't interested at Africans, Arabs, Indians and similar people of "darker skin", because these countries are regarded as poor and not attractive. The comment about not liking countries that are far is also interesting, as Europe and america are pretty far from China xD. Americans and Englishmen, are always seen as the typical handsome Brad Pitt. Its really interesting, as especially we Europeans like to make fun of obese Americans (which is of course not nice)
Also french is just seen as the country of L'amour with the typical romantic Womanizer, whereby there are so many french with darker skin colour....
Germans were always seen as people with strong discipline and work ethic because of big companies like BMW, Audi etc... So even myself who looks Chinese received special treatment and respect for that xD
I could also say a lot about the fact why foreigners date Chinese girls and why Chinese men don't date so many foreign girls, but I would rather leave it out so maybe I can get interviewed xD
But why would most Europeans feel justified making fun of America for being obese? Europe is also a fat continent and over half the EU's adult population is overweight or obese; with Germany contributing it's share of overweight people. So this amounts to a pot and kettle situation. It's true that it's immature and mean spirited behavior but the really sad part is it exposes those people in your country as ignorant of the fact Germany/EU has the same problem. Your numbers aren't as high as America's yet but they are bad enough I would just have to avoid those conversations to avoid sounding like a hypocrite or an uneducated person. But I've learned that there will always be people who continue in ignorance by choice.
Thanks for the additional insight. Their obsession for whiteness is troubling.
Everyone has their own choices and opinions. It is not considered offensive as we did in my country. We consider Germans mostly gay, and we don't tend to them unlike other countries
@@satisfyinglife4751 yes but when these choices and opinions become racist and weird it became kind of dangerous. In a country that claims to be communists, people there are always superficial and judge people.
@@satisfyinglife4751 why do you consider Germans gay?
What i got from this interview:-
Interviewer :- would u date foreigners
People :- as long as they have white/fair skin, yes.
Based
@@mnemonicpie not based man lol this is just sad
Super interesting!!
Thank you so much for all your videos!!! They helped me a lot when I started learning Chinese.
