It is a shame that the US politician would rather spend US tax payers money on endless wars, don't take care of the homelessness and most importantly upgrade/build new infrastructures. From Vietnam, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Ukraine proxy war and who know what else war . All that money wasted could have aid American citizens for years.
War industry is the most profitable. Spending on infrastructure and eradicating homelessness are total waste of money. War industry is very profitable there lies the priority
War industry is profitable for corporations only, not for the common people, infrastructure & irradicating homelessness benefits everyone less traffic jams means more productive which leads to more profits and taxes collected, ending homelessness means these people will integrate back to society in turn pay their taxes and less welfare burden on government, not so hard to understand
And this is how their brainwashed their young people. I have met a young couple in Thailand recently. They were from US and they were traveling from Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and then to Cambodia and Vietnam and before going back to US. We have happened to have a casual friendly conversation and I have asked them since they are so near to China, why not go to China just for a few days to see China. I told them China is very interesting, But I was surprised of what they told me. They said according to all their media reports in US and advice by their government and many people. They were advice and told not to travel to China. Even their parents don't allow them to go to China. They were told China is not a safe country to travel. Very dirty, poor rundown infrastructures, poor transportation system, polluted, homeless people are everywhere waiting to rob tourists are common even in broad daylight. Chances of been detained for no reason by the Communist is very high. Because China is an authoritarian state and all foreign visitors are monitored by thousands of cameras everywhere, every minute where foreign visitors go. Foreign visitors from western countries can be detained for months or even years for no reason. All these is what they know about China. The couple is like below 25 years of age and already so badly brainwashed by their government and controlled media. This is really sad.
The subway in Shanghai is not the most beautiful because it has been open for nearly half a century. The subways in Shenzhen and other cities are the real science fiction.
Chicago already had skycrappers metro and modern city back in 1930 Its easy for a country who built most of its metro/infrastructure after 1990 to brag about modernity. Wait 100 200 years 😂
As a NYorker, I fully concur with your video, I grew up there from early 80s and its been worse ever since with some glimmer here and there but only to deteriorate further with no improvement.
_"I grew up there from early 80s and its been worse ever since"_ Mmmmmm.... NO. There are so many videos ONLINE to see just how bad the subway was in the 1970s......
Drinkable tap water? Doctors per citizen ratio? Cancer rate survival? 5 million plus modern slaves? 150 million malnourished? For the people? Where is Peng Shuai?
I went on the Shanghai metro in 2018, and I was astounded. The network was so vast and deep down, you could take journeys of escalators going down or up, especially in an interchange station. Thousands would be on their phones because wifi was already widespread underground. Everything was so seemless and in order, and was very cheap. I’ve travelled on the Shanghai maglev and China’s high speed rail system. It is world class! Nice to see your perspective of China Metro VS US Metro.I am so impressed by this. I only wish we have such modern and convenience transport system in the US. It is so dirty and dated in the US. China is allot more modern and developed than I expected! Our media in the West always tells us China is collapsing.hether you call China a communist or socialist state it is undeniably a country putting the common good of a community first. Thus the Central and regional governments will planned, invested and installed whatever facility to improve the lives of the citizens in the community.Western democracies like the US or UK are short-term profit driven.If there is no money to be made or the money could be invested better elsewhere to bring a faster or higher return it will never go into the large public transportation system. Therefore there is no HSR in the US.Rats.progressive deterioration and lack of modernisation are tolerated because if money isn't spent it is the profit for the selfish owners and share holders.Oh....have fun in china.
I am from Hong Kong. China is a socialist country. Socialist country cares about the wellbeing of their people. Moreover, Chinese people are deeply influenced by Confucius philosophy since ancient time. Confucius philosophy suggested that a good government should be like good parents to take care of their children in the family. That's why you can see the Chinese government rules the country is like the good parents rule and care about their children. Chinese infrastructures such as high speed train, metro and maglev are run by state enterprises owned by the country. They were built for the wellbeing of the Chinese people but not for making profits for the corporates. That's why you can see the Chinese infrastructures are so convenient and affordable. Also, that's why the people in China are not as free as the people in the Western world. The United States is a capitalist country. Capitalist country is interests of capitalists (corporates) come first. That's why Elon Musk, Jeffrey Bezos and Bill Gates are the richest people in the world. That's why homeless people becoming more and more in the US.
@@aero.lwhy don't you visit by yourself and find it out? North America has a lot if great place to offer. Travelling educates, but Daddy Xi won't protect you
One very noticeable difference, aside from the cleanliness and jaw dropping aesthetics, is that in Chinese subways, there is zero graffiti. This is a cultural thing. In China, you respect other people, and so you respect their property. Would you like some punks to spray their name onto the side of your house? No. And so Chinese do not randomly put graffiti on public property. They take pride in their city. They don't litter. Also, you don't see any homeless or drug addicts on the streets of Shanghai or any Chinese city. Why? They have a society where people take care of each other, and everyone also tries to take care of himself, to carry his own weight. Here in the U.S., thousands and tens of thousands of people are literally being "thrown away", as human refuse.
这是一个文化的问题，中国人认为吸毒和流浪是可耻的行为，同时毒品问题在中国非常严格，毒贩经常在中国死刑 This is a cultural issue. Chinese people believe that drug use and wandering are shameful behaviors, and the drug problem is very strict in China. Drug traffickers often face the death penalty in China@@ZoeCuiM
Thank you for your recognition, but I would like to say that there are actually homeless people in China, but they are completely different from the homeless people in the United States. In Shanghai, at night, you can see some people who set up tents or even sleep directly with a quilt in Bridges, parks and even clean sewers. They leave their hometown to work in Shanghai with a salary of 5K-6KCNY per month. The cheapest rent in Shanghai is about 1.5K, and food is also very expensive, so some people choose not to rent, save every penny, and return to their hometown after a few years to repair a house, buy a car, marry a wife and have children. In Shenzhen, there is a "sanhe" labor market, where there are a group of young people who are desperate for life, who will never work until they spend their last penny, and who work for daily wages, hourly wages, so the quality of life is pretty bad, and they sleep at night in the park on the deck chairs, on the open level, wherever they can sleep. Internet cafes are their comfort zone. But they are different from the homeless in the United States, they have their own house and land in their hometown, they are not homeless, they just want to earn more wages in the big city. I don't like these video filmmakers only shooting the beauty of big cities, they should also shoot the lives of some people at the bottom, this is not the dark side of China, but the real thing, as a Chinese, I am proud of this country's achievements, but also sad for the bottom people, which is why we are still a developing country. We have only solved the problem of hunger so far, but we still have a long way to go to become rich.
I've been to China many times and each time I've seen noticeable improvements to the public infrastructures. I would dare say that most of China's major cities today look cleaner than most American major cities. Try comparing Shanghai to Philadelphia or Chicago. Also I've been to public parks in Northern Chinese cities of Dalian and Dandong. They look very clean compared to the parks where I live in America... which has graffiti, vandalism, and criminal activity going on.
@@i-eat-you Wow... went back in time to the Tang Dynasty? Who are you... Doc Brown? And sad to say... the American mindset has not changed much since the days of the 1800's Wild West.
If Americans knew the truth about how far they've fallen behind China, there'd be riots in the streets. Oh wait...there already are riots all the time. Just not for those reasons mentioned above. 🤣🤣🤣
you are wrong! In the past 3,000 years, China's national power has been the first in the world for 2,800 years. Now China has just returned to its original position.
@@2LT-c8q Only for you may be 😂 not for rest world ! Personally I don't think that America is still powerful! They just can spread rumors and talking about others development! Cause they can't make they only can destroy and also they destroy their own country day by day!
@@2LT-c8q That may have been true in the 1990s but perhaps not now. A country like China is on an upward trajectory, the US has been heading in the opposite direction for several decades. If you look at all economic factors like GDP, currency, purchasing power, and industrial capacity, the Chinese economy is probably the largest in the world now - and by some margin. Most reputable independent economists estimate that China's economy surpassed that of the US around 7 years ago and is now perhaps 20% bigger (Source "The Economist" journal). The Chinese middle class is now far greater in size than the entire population of the US - for example. Many European and some Asian countries citizens have a far better standard of living than their counterparts in the US. Huge areas of the globe are moving away from US influence and the dollar (due to the huge stain on our planet known as US foreign policy). Even militarily, the US might still be able to bomb/invade nations of goat herders, but they're not going to have Russia, China, or any other peer opponent trembling in their boots. The world is changing and the US is being left behind.
So true, the lies about China are amazing. Like my mom would say, "if they say bad untrue things about you, it's because they are just jealous." Lived in Shanghai for 7 years, now I'm in Guangzhou and the metros/subways are all amazing. Not to mention the high-speed trains and the low cost.
tell this to tens of millions chinese that loosing their job now. to ghost cites, empty malls and and endless closing factories. and infrastructure is relatively new, can't imagine what will be with prices and their quality when it will require regular maintenance.
When you showed all these fantastic n futuristic buildings, subways n infrastructure to the American n the European, may will either refuse to believe even it is right infront of their eyes or they will tell you off that there is nothing to be proud off. But these same people will feel very proud of their American hegemony n nu bullying around their advanced Weapons n fighter planes .n

I have watched several videos of UA-camrs traveling around the world and no other city in any other country surpasses this city in comparison to the following cities in China. These cities are Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Chongqing, Nanjing, Wuhan, Chengdu, and Tianjin. These cities are characterized by their wealthy people, sophisticated cityscapes and futuristic architecture, and societies that have embraced the latest technologies. These cities are some of the most attractive cities in this world today.
Absolute nonsense. Most parts are unbelievably soulless . No wonder they want to copy European architecture. Endless dark concrete high rises are horrible and many historical parts are disappearing
Funniest thing I saw in Shanghai (I think it was leaving the Mag-Lev and entering the airport) was a huge sign saying 'You Are Here', with an arrow pointing to the ground. I was grateful for the sign - we all need reminding of where we are, now and then. First time I arrived in Beijing, I thought I should get a taxi to my hotel, because I was uncertain of other methods. Cost perhaps £5.00 - (probably less, but it was some time ago). Next day I found that Metro trips all over Beijing were 30p! And there was a station less than 100m from the hotel. Been back to China a few times since, and never used a taxi ever again.
@MaxineWashington That's interesting - thank you. I think I was there for weekend in 2012, and then in 2013 and 2014 I returned for longer trips. I became a senior in 2015, so if I return, I can get free travel! But I think almost every city subsidises its Metro systems. And usually a lot of intercity rail travel too. For example, in the UK, they say our train companies are private, but the government gives them billions in subsidies. They give more in subsidies now the are private them they got in subsidies when they were wholly owned by the state! So privatisation just made things much worse. The London Metro is owned by the city, and an average trip is £6.70 - that is 60.72 RMB! I think even after price rises, Beijing is still a little cheaper than London. ;-)
You should show what the subway stations in NYC look like. there are a lot of commercial ads in the corridors in NYC metro stations. so Americans are wondering why Chinese do not display beer ads instead of the flowing golden liquid! What a difference between Capitalism and Communism!
@@user-LP3 True! However, they are more tasteful from the viewpoint of decency (conservatism?) and far less than the "in-your-face" commercial ads of the West where icons such as sex, violence, etc bordering on decadence is used. Not to mention the proliferation of graffiti marring any "open" space that can be seen.
If you truly understand communism, you will understand that true communism is an unattainable utopia. When building subways in China, it drew on the experience of all developed countries, including the United States. The taxes you paid were not even used to maintain the subway. 🤣 ------------------------------ Yes, it's communism, not socialism. I used the wrong word.
@@voliect If you really have an understanding of communism and socialism, you'll know that China is not a communist country (only by name), it is very much a Socialist Country where most of the Tax Payers money go back to the Tax Payer. USA is a Corporatist Country where most of the Tax Payers money go to Corporations who are SUPPOSE to trickle the money down to their workers. However, once CEO's give them selves million dollar BONUSES on top of their Million dollar salaries, spend heavily on wasteful administrations costs and international meetings, pay off their massive administration wages that actually do the job the CEO is suppose to do, there are pennies left over for their Workers.
There's nothing communistic about China aside from the ruling party's having "Communist" in their name. Keeping bringing up communism-this and communism-that whenever the topic relates to China is only gonna demonstrate your ignorance.
I think China has a new policy of no-visa entry for 144 hours. If financially permitted, everyone is suggested go see China and take a second thought of what have been told by the media.
Yes, the chinese really developed their infrastructure. It is literally only 15 years ago that traveling from Beijing to, for example, Shenyang or Harbin in the northeast, took forever and was super crowded. Now, you can choose between sleeper, high speed trains and (if you are the economic type) probably also still old school intercity day trains. Looking forward to going to China soon - hopefully here in 2024. In al fairness, though; the subways in China are usually brand new or almost-new, while the ones in USA might be older and more worn-out. If you go to Copenhagen in Denmark, the new Metro stations (with driverless trains) look more modern and less worn-out than the older S-train stations (suburban commuter trains).
I just came back form Shenzhen. The new metro interchange station (Gangxia North) was simply amazing. I was really surprised to see. It’s definitely worth stopping by if you plans a short trip in Shenzhen while visiting Hong Kong.
A lot of people in the West don't know that China had a really late start in its development due to many factors. It began with the late overly proud Qing Dynasty with a Closed-Door Policy that stopped China's progress. Then came the European, American, and Japanese invaders starting in 1800s, most notably the Opium Wars, 8-Coalition Nation Invasion & occupation, followed by Japanese Invasion. 110+ years of nonstop foreign invasions plundered the riches of China, killed tens of millions of innocent Chinese civilians, literally left China in ruins. Rebuilding the country was difficult as the US imposed a 20 year Trade Blockade against China from 1952 ~ 1972 until the US needed China to contain Soviets. Industrialization began in 1981 after Deng reformed the system to Confucian-Socialist Republic with Meritocracy in 1978. Now the West on the other hand, was able to industrialize and develop early by colonizing half the world for over 400 years, plus the massive wealth they stole from China & India. Which, in turn, makes China's progress today all the more impressive.
very true. that's why many Chinese people says that the current senior generation who were born in the 1930s-1940s have experienced more changes than those who have lived 2 centuries in the west, that's how much things have happened in modern China
@4:55, Subways in major cities such as NYC, LA, SF, and others don’t install glass guardrail even though criminals have pushed waiting passengers into the track - Google : Woman pushed down into track of a on-coming NYC subway. . NYC subway is notorious for this type of murder. When people ask the subway operator why glass guard rails are not installed, the answer is either a run-around or a budget constraint.
A capitalist country is a country run by capitalists. It has the most authoritarian and autocratic government in the world. It only provides ordinary people with the most basic living facilities. It only uses the media to brainwash the people and creates information cocoons to transform the people. Become an angry frog in a well. Instead of improving people's lives, they only spend a small amount of money and spread rumors and deception every day.

Not true at all. Public transportation is for convenience. China has advanced public transportation so people like to use it while the US’s is kind of out-of-date and unsafe, so people prefer to drive cars. Cars just cause more traffic, air pollution and it’s kind of boring sitting in the cars all the time. That’s how people in the US get more and more lazy and obesity
Btw recently in the Toronto metro(TTC) a battery in the train caught on fire 😅and a overpass bridge crumbled(now under $2 million repairs). The overpass near my home is already missing large chunks of concrete and the rusted steel support is visible. I’d love to live my life freely but safety and affordability has gone way down. I lived much more comfortably years ago in quebec(the more expensive province) than in Toronto now
Some years ago I lived in Philadelphia for a while. Once I took their SEPTA (their subway). The train skipped three stations and I was 100% sure that was not an express (which skipped some stations). The passengers near me all looked confused and nervous, as there was no announcement explaining anything..... finally the train stopped and it has already passed my destination and I had to pay another ticket to go back... I was so sure that would make a front page headline at most other non-US places, but it was like no big deal at all there.
10 million passenger a day(?) Even if each passenger saves 30 mins of his time, it means 5,000,000 hr. or 625,000 man-day each working day! You can put a price for that saving annually!!
I use to lived in NYC but the Subway Systems is extremely poor but the most memorable thing about the NYC’s Subway Systems are the House Cat sized RATS in and out of the Subway Lines in NYC. MEGA SCARY!🤢🤮🤮🤮
Subway has been extended to connect with nearby cities as well like Suzhou which is about 1 hr drive from Shanghai. So you don't need to take a train. But the trains are another huge leap from North American regions as far as the frequency and number of destinations you can visit and of course they are all high speed trains travelling 300km/h while being smooth as silk.

I think it’s fair. 50 years ago US astonished the world by its innovation and creativity in infrastructure. The current and the future will be witnessed in china. I had just visited NYC, tbh without homeless and drug addicts, NYC is still beautiful and fun to explore, probably still the best metro city in the world. It’s a bit old, and most importantly, stopped growing as rapidly. I look forward to the day when china reach the level from behind
For the majority of 2023 the total number of USA train accidents increased slightly to 4,845, including more than 600 deaths. When comparing 2022 and 2023, the total number of derailments declined about 2.6% - but there were still nearly three derailments a day nationwide.

The U.S. prefer something boring and bland…they are not familiar with so much modern, advancement or creativity.. because America is kind of boring and lack of creativity in society. They accept whatever it is. No innovation no improvement…nothing! America is more like a remote village comparing to China
Some people say its not fair to compare, because the US is so much older... but at the end of the day, US hasnt taken care of what its got. No one is expecting the New York subway to be sparkly hitech, but at least keep it clean and orderly, with some improvements here and there occasionally.... but cant even do that.😅😅😅

AMERICA , USE YOUR MONEY WISELY !!! DONT JEALOUS OF WHAT OTHERS HAD DONE . LOOK AT YOURSELF ALL THIS DECADES , WHY GO ROUND MINDING OTHER COUNTRIES BUSINESSES AND EMPTY YOUR COFFERS , CREATING WARS & CONFLICTS AMONG COUNTRIES !!! BETTER MIND OWN BUSINESS FIRST THEN OTHERS !!! THIS WORLD WOULD BE A MUCH BETTER PLACE , IF AMERICA STAYS OUT OF OTHERS PROBLEMS OR BUSINESSES !!!
Shanghai is one of the four provincial-level municipalities directly under the central government, the other three are Beijing, Tianjing and Chongqing.
I believe it is no intention to make anyone jealous.They only do things tbe best for their own people.American can always do it but their government choose not to.
There's nothing to compare it to. American needs lead to American choices, right? As you said, Americans have gained more freedoms. Perhaps these freedoms have exceeded order, which is why some homeless, bankrupt, and drug addicts have deteriorated urban living conditions and safety. But what Americans need is freedom. No one can control me. My own consciousness represents everything about me. The Chinese have reduced some freedom in exchange for more order and self-restraint, and the suppression of desires. So the city will be safer and better. I do not intend to make any positive or negative comments on the urban environment of the two countries. This is simply a choice based on the needs and culture of the people of the two countries. Because throughout East Asia, it is not just the Chinese who are very self-disciplined. In fact, the Koreans, Vietnamese, and Japanese are also more disciplined and have more personal qualities than people from Western cultures. But their hearts are not as unrestrained as Americans.
If our respective circumstances are supposed to be based on the needs of our cultures, then there is a problem with America -- somehow with all this yearning for "freedom" we ended up with as much choice in political direction as the Chinese have, but with considerably less internal peace, much higher crime, far worse infrastructure, education and health, and quickly decaying general standard of living. To start dealing with this illness we've somehow contracted, comparisons can occasionally be enlightening.
Lived in the US the first half of my life, I don't think I chose to "be scared to take a walk on the street after 8PM", or worry about coming back to my parked car with broken windows or stolen wheels. Now living in China, I feel completely comfortable with my girlfriend going out to get food anywhere in the city at 2AM. So much for my american freedom :)
My mother is a party member in small city, after she retired, she felt too bored every day, she took part in the community work, responsible for the registration of unemployed people who live outside, there are several main ways to deal with, contact his family to see whats wrong, looking for work/low-cost housing，I think it's similar in other cities，Many factories in China are responsible for food and shelter, so this kind of work is not difficult to find
Actually I think it is mainly because the political thing, the Communist Party does not allow homeless people (I know the western media will try to imply that the Communist Party kills them or something hilarious😂)，This policy mainly to make the local government to seriously improve people's livelihood, if there are homeless people freezing to death outside in the winter, the local administration needs to resign en masse and will never have his position again, so the administrators of each region are very serious about it
Jw, how is it safer in US? Everyone carry gun and don't even know the law. You never know when you're getting shot. I just came back from china and I never felt like I'm in a bad area or feel unsafe. Everyone there is so friendly and love their city. That's why its super clean there. Not like NYC and trash everywhere where there's rat all over the place. Shanghai probably like 10x bigger than NYC
That part is true. If someone is trying to kill you it’s best to have a gun, How do old woman protect? Very safe in US outside ghettos. They use illegal guns so banning them doesn’t matter. Anyway guns are to fight against government tyranny. How many in China have died because of awful governments? Not exactly done well last few hundred years. Switzerland has guns and its cleaner and safer than China. And size doesn’t matter.
Many people in the comment section are saying that the United States is more free, but the real reason is that the East Asian Circle is not pursuing freedom, but a fair environment. This is a culture because we ended slavery over a thousand years ago, so freedom does not represent a fair environment. This is also why Chinese people chose communism in the 1950s, because their party platform was based on the principle of fairness Unfortunately, most communists did not implement the principles of communism, This is also one of the reasons why Alibaba was suppressed by the Communist Party when attempting to control national capital, as capital can never control the government
Not only Americans but everyone in the world should understand what freedom is all about. Freedom can only be achieved if we can live safely and comfortably without feeling afraid of threats from street thugs, criminals, pickpockets, thieves, robbers, rapists, extortionists, staying at home without feeling afraid, leaving the house in the morning, afternoon and evening, we feel safe and no need to worry of getting attacked or robbed. In life we do not need to be frightened with religion. If you want to worship, it's okay, it is also okay if you chose not to, there's no threat of going to hell, being told with this and that lies which are no different from seeing animal dung. No more fighting and killing for religion and ideology. Freedom is not about speech, free to criticise, to scold or to insult others, especially a country leader. It is the duty of the state officers and leaders to work hard to ensure the safety of their people, so that their people can enjoy a safe and comfortable life, instead of living in a state of anxiety and worry. The government should take care the health and safety for every subject as taxpayer. Except for natural catastrophy, fire or accidents, the subjects do not need to buy other kind of safety insurance, such as for robbery and theft. When a country has already been able to achieve all this, then we can call it "FREEDOM".
@@JohnSmith-sm7ez I would love for you to share what human rights and freedoms we, as the original people, should have. To me feeling safe and a nice environment for our families to live in is the most important human rights and freedoms. Unlike in Manhattan NYC, the streets are a lot of homeless and smell like marijuana is terrible; if that's the definition of your freedom, be my guest.
It is a shame that the US politician would rather spend US tax payers money on endless wars, don't take care of the homelessness and most importantly upgrade/build new infrastructures.
From Vietnam, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Ukraine proxy war and who know what else war .
All that money wasted could have aid American citizens for years.
China has not been involved in war for 40 years at least. Not like other developed countries
War industry is the most profitable. Spending on infrastructure and eradicating homelessness are total waste of money. War industry is very profitable there lies the priority
It's not about American citizens. It's about American ruling elite and wealthy.
War industry is profitable for corporations only, not for the common people, infrastructure & irradicating homelessness benefits everyone less traffic jams means more productive which leads to more profits and taxes collected, ending homelessness means these people will integrate back to society in turn pay their taxes and less welfare burden on government, not so hard to understand
And this is how their brainwashed their young people.
I have met a young couple in Thailand recently. They were from US and they were traveling from Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and then to Cambodia and Vietnam and before going back to US.
We have happened to have a casual friendly conversation and I have asked them since they are so near to China, why not go to China just for a few days to see China. I told them China is very interesting, But I was surprised of what they told me. They said according to all their media reports in US and advice by their government and many people. They were advice and told not to travel to China. Even their parents don't allow them to go to China. They were told China is not a safe country to travel. Very dirty, poor rundown infrastructures, poor transportation system, polluted, homeless people are everywhere waiting to rob tourists are common even in broad daylight. Chances of been detained for no reason by the Communist is very high. Because China is an authoritarian state and all foreign visitors are monitored by thousands of cameras everywhere, every minute where foreign visitors go. Foreign visitors from western countries can be detained for months or even years for no reason.
All these is what they know about China. The couple is like below 25 years of age and already so badly brainwashed by their government and controlled media. This is really sad.

Building high quality and affordable infrastructure is the best way of expressing "for the people" policy
true that ✌
High quality... look up Tufu Dreg... a lot of this is just for show.

Nope, it's for the constructuon industry, generating profits. Social programs and welfare is for the people.
I went on the Shanghai metro in 2018, and I was astounded. The network was so vast and deep down, you could take journeys of escalators going down or up, especially in an interchange station. Thousands would be on their phones because wifi was already widespread underground. Everything was so seemless and in order, and was very cheap. I’ve travelled on the Shanghai maglev and China’s high speed rail system. It is world class! Nice to see your perspective of China Metro VS US Metro.I am so impressed by this. I only wish we have such modern and convenience transport system in the US. It is so dirty and dated in the US. China is allot more modern and developed than I expected! Our media in the West always tells us China is collapsing.hether you call China a communist or socialist state it is undeniably a country putting the common good of a community first. Thus the Central and regional governments will planned, invested and installed whatever facility to improve the lives of the citizens in the community.Western democracies like the US or UK are short-term profit driven.If there is no money to be made or the money could be invested better elsewhere to bring a faster or higher return it will never go into the large public transportation system. Therefore there is no HSR in the US.Rats.progressive deterioration and lack of modernisation are tolerated because if money isn't spent it is the profit for the selfish owners and share holders.Oh....have fun in china.
I am from Hong Kong. China is a socialist country. Socialist country cares about the wellbeing of their people. Moreover, Chinese people are deeply influenced by Confucius philosophy since ancient time. Confucius philosophy suggested that a good government should be like good parents to take care of their children in the family. That's why you can see the Chinese government rules the country is like the good parents rule and care about their children. Chinese infrastructures such as high speed train, metro and maglev are run by state enterprises owned by the country. They were built for the wellbeing of the Chinese people but not for making profits for the corporates. That's why you can see the Chinese infrastructures are so convenient and affordable. Also, that's why the people in China are not as free as the people in the Western world.
The United States is a capitalist country. Capitalist country is interests of capitalists (corporates) come first. That's why Elon Musk, Jeffrey Bezos and Bill Gates are the richest people in the world. That's why homeless people becoming more and more in the US.

One very noticeable difference, aside from the cleanliness and jaw dropping aesthetics, is that in Chinese subways, there is zero graffiti. This is a cultural thing. In China, you respect other people, and so you respect their property. Would you like some punks to spray their name onto the side of your house? No. And so Chinese do not randomly put graffiti on public property. They take pride in their city. They don't litter. Also, you don't see any homeless or drug addicts on the streets of Shanghai or any Chinese city. Why? They have a society where people take care of each other, and everyone also tries to take care of himself, to carry his own weight. Here in the U.S., thousands and tens of thousands of people are literally being "thrown away", as human refuse.
It's not a culture thing. There are cameras everywhere. You will get into trouble of you do that.
@@ZoeCuiMits one of culture thing.
这是一个文化的问题，中国人认为吸毒和流浪是可耻的行为，同时毒品问题在中国非常严格，毒贩经常在中国死刑 This is a cultural issue. Chinese people believe that drug use and wandering are shameful behaviors, and the drug problem is very strict in China. Drug traffickers often face the death penalty in China@@ZoeCuiM
Thank you for your recognition, but I would like to say that there are actually homeless people in China, but they are completely different from the homeless people in the United States. In Shanghai, at night, you can see some people who set up tents or even sleep directly with a quilt in Bridges, parks and even clean sewers. They leave their hometown to work in Shanghai with a salary of 5K-6KCNY per month. The cheapest rent in Shanghai is about 1.5K, and food is also very expensive, so some people choose not to rent, save every penny, and return to their hometown after a few years to repair a house, buy a car, marry a wife and have children.
In Shenzhen, there is a "sanhe" labor market, where there are a group of young people who are desperate for life, who will never work until they spend their last penny, and who work for daily wages, hourly wages, so the quality of life is pretty bad, and they sleep at night in the park on the deck chairs, on the open level, wherever they can sleep. Internet cafes are their comfort zone.
But they are different from the homeless in the United States, they have their own house and land in their hometown, they are not homeless, they just want to earn more wages in the big city.
I don't like these video filmmakers only shooting the beauty of big cities, they should also shoot the lives of some people at the bottom, this is not the dark side of China, but the real thing, as a Chinese, I am proud of this country's achievements, but also sad for the bottom people, which is why we are still a developing country. We have only solved the problem of hunger so far, but we still have a long way to go to become rich.

I've been to China many times and each time I've seen noticeable improvements to the public infrastructures. I would dare say that most of China's major cities today look cleaner than most American major cities. Try comparing Shanghai to Philadelphia or Chicago. Also I've been to public parks in Northern Chinese cities of Dalian and Dandong. They look very clean compared to the parks where I live in America... which has graffiti, vandalism, and criminal activity going on.
I agree you the China's cities are clean, but I think graffiti is coool!

@@2LT-c8q That may have been true in the 1990s but perhaps not now. A country like China is on an upward trajectory, the US has been heading in the opposite direction for several decades.
If you look at all economic factors like GDP, currency, purchasing power, and industrial capacity, the Chinese economy is probably the largest in the world now - and by some margin. Most reputable independent economists estimate that China's economy surpassed that of the US around 7 years ago and is now perhaps 20% bigger (Source "The Economist" journal).
The Chinese middle class is now far greater in size than the entire population of the US - for example.
Many European and some Asian countries citizens have a far better standard of living than their counterparts in the US.
Huge areas of the globe are moving away from US influence and the dollar (due to the huge stain on our planet known as US foreign policy).
Even militarily, the US might still be able to bomb/invade nations of goat herders, but they're not going to have Russia, China, or any other peer opponent trembling in their boots.
The world is changing and the US is being left behind.
So true, the lies about China are amazing. Like my mom would say, "if they say bad untrue things about you, it's because they are just jealous." Lived in Shanghai for 7 years, now I'm in Guangzhou and the metros/subways are all amazing. Not to mention the high-speed trains and the low cost.

These cities are Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Chongqing, Nanjing, Wuhan, Chengdu, and Tianjin. These cities are characterized by their wealthy people, sophisticated cityscapes and futuristic architecture, and societies that have embraced the latest technologies. These cities are some of the most attractive cities in this world today.

Sounds like hell..
Funniest thing I saw in Shanghai (I think it was leaving the Mag-Lev and entering the airport) was a huge sign saying 'You Are Here', with an arrow pointing to the ground. I was grateful for the sign - we all need reminding of where we are, now and then.
First time I arrived in Beijing, I thought I should get a taxi to my hotel, because I was uncertain of other methods. Cost perhaps £5.00 - (probably less, but it was some time ago).
Next day I found that Metro trips all over Beijing were 30p! And there was a station less than 100m from the hotel. Been back to China a few times since, and never used a taxi ever again.
ya, subways are convenient here from A to B.✌
@MaxineWashington
That's interesting - thank you.
I think I was there for weekend in 2012, and then in 2013 and 2014 I returned for longer trips. I became a senior in 2015, so if I return, I can get free travel!
But I think almost every city subsidises its Metro systems. And usually a lot of intercity rail travel too.
For example, in the UK, they say our train companies are private, but the government gives them billions in subsidies. They give more in subsidies now the are private them they got in subsidies when they were wholly owned by the state! So privatisation just made things much worse.
The London Metro is owned by the city, and an average trip is £6.70 - that is 60.72 RMB!
I think even after price rises, Beijing is still a little cheaper than London. ;-)
You should show what the subway stations in NYC look like. there are a lot of commercial ads in the corridors in NYC metro stations. so Americans are wondering why Chinese do not display beer ads instead of the flowing golden liquid! What a difference between Capitalism and Communism!
That’s also commercial ads in Shanghai metro
@@user-LP3 True! However, they are more tasteful from the viewpoint of decency (conservatism?) and far less than the "in-your-face" commercial ads of the West where icons such as sex, violence, etc bordering on decadence is used. Not to mention the proliferation of graffiti marring any "open" space that can be seen.
If you truly understand communism, you will understand that true communism is an unattainable utopia. When building subways in China, it drew on the experience of all developed countries, including the United States. The taxes you paid were not even used to maintain the subway. 🤣
------------------------------
Yes, it's communism, not socialism. I used the wrong word.
@@voliect If you really have an understanding of communism and socialism, you'll know that China is not a communist country (only by name), it is very much a Socialist Country where most of the Tax Payers money go back to the Tax Payer. USA is a Corporatist Country where most of the Tax Payers money go to Corporations who are SUPPOSE to trickle the money down to their workers. However, once CEO's give them selves million dollar BONUSES on top of their Million dollar salaries, spend heavily on wasteful administrations costs and international meetings, pay off their massive administration wages that actually do the job the CEO is suppose to do, there are pennies left over for their Workers.
There's nothing communistic about China aside from the ruling party's having "Communist" in their name. Keeping bringing up communism-this and communism-that whenever the topic relates to China is only gonna demonstrate your ignorance.

I don’t think these anti-China losers could afford the trip😂
@@MrAlexCageyou are really cute
Yes, the chinese really developed their infrastructure.
It is literally only 15 years ago that traveling from Beijing to, for example, Shenyang or Harbin in the northeast, took forever and was super crowded. Now, you can choose between sleeper, high speed trains and (if you are the economic type) probably also still old school intercity day trains.
Looking forward to going to China soon - hopefully here in 2024.
In al fairness, though; the subways in China are usually brand new or almost-new, while the ones in USA might be older and more worn-out.
If you go to Copenhagen in Denmark, the new Metro stations (with driverless trains) look more modern and less worn-out than the older S-train stations (suburban commuter trains).
I just came back form Shenzhen. The new metro interchange station (Gangxia North) was simply amazing. I was really surprised to see. It’s definitely worth stopping by if you plans a short trip in Shenzhen while visiting Hong Kong.
A lot of people in the West don't know that China had a really late start in its development due to many factors. It began with the late overly proud Qing Dynasty with a Closed-Door Policy that stopped China's progress. Then came the European, American, and Japanese invaders starting in 1800s, most notably the Opium Wars, 8-Coalition Nation Invasion & occupation, followed by Japanese Invasion. 110+ years of nonstop foreign invasions plundered the riches of China, killed tens of millions of innocent Chinese civilians, literally left China in ruins. Rebuilding the country was difficult as the US imposed a 20 year Trade Blockade against China from 1952 ~ 1972 until the US needed China to contain Soviets. Industrialization began in 1981 after Deng reformed the system to Confucian-Socialist Republic with Meritocracy in 1978. Now the West on the other hand, was able to industrialize and develop early by colonizing half the world for over 400 years, plus the massive wealth they stole from China & India. Which, in turn, makes China's progress today all the more impressive.
Great historical facts!
very true. that's why many Chinese people says that the current senior generation who were born in the 1930s-1940s have experienced more changes than those who have lived 2 centuries in the west, that's how much things have happened in modern China
The subway stations in New York give me the urge to play Counter-Strike.

NY is rustic feel, Shanghai is futuristic feel.. but Shenzhen residents will disagree on the latter. LOL
@4:55, Subways in major cities such as NYC, LA, SF, and others don’t install glass guardrail even though criminals have pushed waiting passengers into the track - Google : Woman pushed down into track of a on-coming NYC subway. . NYC subway is notorious for this type of murder. When people ask the subway operator why glass guard rails are not installed, the answer is either a run-around or a budget constraint.
Yeah.
A capitalist country is a country run by capitalists. It has the most authoritarian and autocratic government in the world. It only provides ordinary people with the most basic living facilities.

Well public transport in China is for people. In the USA is for poor people.
Not true at all. Public transportation is for convenience. China has advanced public transportation so people like to use it while the US’s is kind of out-of-date and unsafe, so people prefer to drive cars. Cars just cause more traffic, air pollution and it’s kind of boring sitting in the cars all the time. That’s how people in the US get more and more lazy and obesity
Btw recently in the Toronto metro(TTC) a battery in the train caught on fire 😅and a overpass bridge crumbled(now under $2 million repairs). The overpass near my home is already missing large chunks of concrete and the rusted steel support is visible. I’d love to live my life freely but safety and affordability has gone way down. I lived much more comfortably years ago in quebec(the more expensive province) than in Toronto now
Stay safe.
Some years ago I lived in Philadelphia for a while. Once I took their SEPTA (their subway). The train skipped three stations and I was 100% sure that was not an express (which skipped some stations). The passengers near me all looked confused and nervous, as there was no announcement explaining anything..... finally the train stopped and it has already passed my destination and I had to pay another ticket to go back... I was so sure that would make a front page headline at most other non-US places, but it was like no big deal at all there.
yup.
😂
10 million passenger a day(?) Even if each passenger saves 30 mins of his time, it means 5,000,000 hr. or 625,000 man-day each working day! You can put a price for that saving annually!!
This is one of the older substations, right? I remember staying in a hotel next door back in 2005.

Subway has been extended to connect with nearby cities as well like Suzhou which is about 1 hr drive from Shanghai. So you don't need to take a train.

There's nothing to compare it to.
American needs lead to American choices, right?
As you said, Americans have gained more freedoms. Perhaps these freedoms have exceeded order, which is why some homeless, bankrupt, and drug addicts have deteriorated urban living conditions and safety.
But what Americans need is freedom. No one can control me. My own consciousness represents everything about me.
The Chinese have reduced some freedom in exchange for more order and self-restraint, and the suppression of desires. So the city will be safer and better.
I do not intend to make any positive or negative comments on the urban environment of the two countries.
This is simply a choice based on the needs and culture of the people of the two countries.
Because throughout East Asia, it is not just the Chinese who are very self-disciplined. In fact, the Koreans, Vietnamese, and Japanese are also more disciplined and have more personal qualities than people from Western cultures. But their hearts are not as unrestrained as Americans.
American "freedom". You have to be asleep to believe it...
If our respective circumstances are supposed to be based on the needs of our cultures, then there is a problem with America -- somehow with all this yearning for "freedom" we ended up with as much choice in political direction as the Chinese have, but with considerably less internal peace, much higher crime, far worse infrastructure, education and health, and quickly decaying general standard of living. To start dealing with this illness we've somehow contracted, comparisons can occasionally be enlightening.

Lived in the US the first half of my life, I don't think I chose to "be scared to take a walk on the street after 8PM", or worry about coming back to my parked car with broken windows or stolen wheels.
Now living in China, I feel completely comfortable with my girlfriend going out to get food anywhere in the city at 2AM.
So much for my american freedom :)
Freedom? When you are destroying the freedom of others around you or afar, it’s no longer freedom.
Eye opening...! Have you seen any homeless?
Nah Mate, not like NYC.
My mother is a party member in small city, after she retired, she felt too bored every day, she took part in the community work, responsible for the registration of unemployed people who live outside, there are several main ways to deal with, contact his family to see whats wrong, looking for work/low-cost housing，I think it's similar in other cities，Many factories in China are responsible for food and shelter, so this kind of work is not difficult to find
Actually I think it is mainly because the political thing, the Communist Party does not allow homeless people (I know the western media will try to imply that the Communist Party kills them or something hilarious😂)，This policy mainly to make the local government to seriously improve people's livelihood, if there are homeless people freezing to death outside in the winter, the local administration needs to resign en masse and will never have his position again, so the administrators of each region are very serious about it
Brother! Please upload Chinese subtitles next time!thank you😂
Sir, Noted.!
我觉得有一个误解很多西方人觉得就是上海很独特😂其实上海的一切在其他中国城市都很普通，它只是人比较多版本的其他一二线城市而已
美國已經發达很久很久了，衹是這幾十年放緩了，一切都太政治了，但是，美國在科技上還是遙遙領先，中國還需要冷靜看待差距，砥礪前行，迎頭趕上
科技未必所有的领先，中国主要落后的是先进半导体和医疗生物，也有一些反超的。美国对我们攻击主要是利用金融美元霸权和英语话语权。这才是中国突破美国桎梏的最难考验，路漫漫其修远兮
美國在科技上還是遙遙領先嗎？舉幾個例子學習一下？
早几年的好莱坞的科幻片。。。还是很不错的。最近两年政治正确之后，有点遗憾。。。

But it’s safer in the US, because everyone can carry gun to protect themselves, instead of calling the cops, too late 😂
Jw, how is it safer in US? Everyone carry gun and don't even know the law. You never know when you're getting shot. I just came back from china and I never felt like I'm in a bad area or feel unsafe. Everyone there is so friendly and love their city. That's why its super clean there. Not like NYC and trash everywhere where there's rat all over the place. Shanghai probably like 10x bigger than NYC
i got your sarcasm 🙃
That part is true. If someone is trying to kill you it’s best to have a gun, How do old woman protect? Very safe in US outside ghettos. They use illegal guns so banning them doesn’t matter. Anyway guns are to fight against government tyranny. How many in China have died because of awful governments? Not exactly done well last few hundred years. Switzerland has guns and its cleaner and safer than China. And size doesn’t matter.

Many people in the comment section are saying that the United States is more free, but the real reason is that the East Asian Circle is not pursuing freedom, but a fair environment. This is a culture because we ended slavery over a thousand years ago, so freedom does not represent a fair environment.
This is also why Chinese people chose communism in the 1950s, because their party platform was based on the principle of fairness
Unfortunately, most communists did not implement the principles of communism,
This is also one of the reasons why Alibaba was suppressed by the Communist Party when attempting to control national capital, as capital can never control the government
Not only Americans but everyone in the world should understand what freedom is all about. Freedom can only be achieved if we can live safely and comfortably without feeling afraid of threats from street thugs, criminals, pickpockets, thieves, robbers, rapists, extortionists, staying at home without feeling afraid, leaving the house in the morning, afternoon and evening, we feel safe and no need to worry of getting attacked or robbed. In life we do not need to be frightened with religion. If you want to worship, it's okay, it is also okay if you chose not to, there's no threat of going to hell, being told with this and that lies which are no different from seeing animal dung. No more fighting and killing for religion and ideology. Freedom is not about speech, free to criticise, to scold or to insult others, especially a country leader. It is the duty of the state officers and leaders to work hard to ensure the safety of their people, so that their people can enjoy a safe and comfortable life, instead of living in a state of anxiety and worry. The government should take care the health and safety for every subject as taxpayer. Except for natural catastrophy, fire or accidents, the subjects do not need to buy other kind of safety insurance, such as for robbery and theft. When a country has already been able to achieve all this, then we can call it "FREEDOM".

No comparability
Why it is China vs US instead of China VS UK?
good question
UK is a small island. Nothing to compare with China
uk wouldn't come out very well either😊
Are you a british guy? You speak English with british accent.
Wo Ai Shenzhen 😊
wo ai Shanghai 😄
But the US is legalising marijuana. I guess that will help them back to No1.
🤭
Beautiful. But I wouldn't trade my freedom to the communist party or any other just to have nice subway stations.
Freedom? LMFAO .. the Chinese have more freedoms than most western countries! You can even have a drink while walking around the streets shopping!
iam only afraid when china have better weapon as usa...
china is winning the war differently.
China already does , as an Australian I am more concerned of the US starting ww3 than I am of China
Hey, buddy, you're supposed to hate on ChiNaaa, not praise it. Didn't you get the memo?
i am just showing what i am seeing here.
因为我们从不插手国外事物也不挑起战争，我们把大量钱都用来修建了基础设施。美国作为世界最发达的国家，少关注国际，多关心国内，做得一定比中国好。
Look mom, there is no drug addicts like in the USA.............
LOL
Affordable commute is one of the real freedoms.
exactly.
I love how you guys change the definition of freedom to suit your shite chat. So ignorant.
@@JohnSmith-sm7ez I would love for you to share what human rights and freedoms we, as the original people, should have. To me feeling safe and a nice environment for our families to live in is the most important human rights and freedoms. Unlike in Manhattan NYC, the streets are a lot of homeless and smell like marijuana is terrible; if that's the definition of your freedom, be my guest.
@@JohnSmith-sm7ezand freedom to you John is people shooting up schools and junkies living on the streets mugging people?
@@JohnSmith-sm7eznot even here in Australia we don’t want to be like America so what makes you think the Chinese want the mess you call democracy
I THINK this dude is an alphabet people
