Well houses in china aren't up to living standards
It is a Chinese old saying, teaching people how to fish is better than just giving people fish. The origins of the West claiming China was concentrated people in Xinjiang, is exactly how the Chinese government trying to help the poor to get rid of poverty. Normally if there are homeless people found in China, the local government will firstly find out where they came from, then try to reach out to their family, if so, then pay the tickets for them to head back to their hometowns, if not, then send them to shelters first, then ask them to join the local training centers, which would teach you kinds of skills that you can at least get a proper job, at least getting a job as a manufacturing worker in factory, instead of just providing them some food and clothes, and nothing would change. Many of those Uyghurs that were sent to the camps, were highly uneducated, poor, so they were easily getting lit up to join the terrorists.
One key factor to being homeless people and terrorist, is they are both poor and being unable to get rid of that. Provide them a certain skill of making a living, and also the environment, then you can solve most of these homeless and terrorism problems.
All of us have dreams, and when society provides us with means to achieve those dreams, we support the society that we live in. The best way to fight terrorism is to give the people dreams, and not disenfranchise them.
True.
He told you in the video that homeless people in the U.S. are either addicted to drugs or mentally ill. How is China going to train such people to work a job???
@@Matthew_LoutnerIn general China don't have a problem with drug addictions, and mentally ill usually are taken care by their own family. Different culture.
@@loveblindhate9318 The question was . . .
How could China fix our problem?
this is what happens when you spend more to uplift your country and minding your own business as opposed to spending billions on the military industry and war/fear mongering.
The problem of China is, it doesn't really care its own standing in the world in terms of military might. Its only aim is to protect itself.
When the US and the collective West focus on the wrong priority and got a horrifying result, they immediately shift their blame on China.
and undercutting your own citizens’ healthcare, education and housing in the process.
The only industry not facing a challenging time is political
lobbying.
Should be trillions now....
so well said
I've lived in Shanghai 10 years ago, for 3 years. And I've seen homeless people! At least 2! It was a couple, probably on a journey. And it was so hot, that they decided to take a nap during the night on the streets. So, hahahaha, really, what you are saying is true! In China you don't have homeless people as the West has. You can't compare it.
There is always homeless people, the key is whether the govt has a way to help them…apparently US has none or doesn’t care..
@@tc-red9000 Yes, 2 among Millions in China. The rate is important.
Lived for 3 years, and only met that few homeless people in the biggest population country. Pretty impressive.
(Not to mention that was 10 years ago, now China has been improving very fast).
as chinese i am sure those two have a home at their home town or village. in fact a lot of people sleep on the street or bridge in big city of china, for save money.they make money in big city and take the money back to their hometown. for those who lost his home in city, govenment provide cheap rent home.
@@blolee-gc1sr I think the same! 我老婆也是中国人
Since i moved from Massachusetts back in 2010. To Pennsylvania. I have seen a massive increase in homeless less than ten minutes from my house. Back in Massachusetts i saw a lot of homeless from way back from the 1980's to now. I used to drive as an interstate truck driver and hit all lower 48 states. And i saw plenty of homelessness. Especially in the urban and metropolitan areas. My cross country trips in my car going east to west also showed homelessness. I am now over 50 years old and i got my CDL license at 19 and did several road trip across the country in my private vehicle. I lived in Florida, California, Massachusetts, and now Pennsylvania. My current home town is NOT in the Metropolitan area of Philadelphia. I am actually in the area of the Amish. But here homelessness is growing not ten minutes walking from my house. I see a lot of property which is unoccupied and boarded up.
I am in Central NY but originally from Western NY, lots Amish people.
Those farmer workers have homes in the countryside. If they lose jobs, they can always go home.
no no no, dont tell people that! the media has brainwashed people for decades that government owns everything how could everybody have their own lands in the countryside? their brain will explode
The homeless problem in the US is a mess and needs an overhaul - start with affordable housing.
Cheap houses and reliable jobs
@@user-hp8fo9bz3x California can’t find the 22 billion dollars that were allocated to fix the homeless problem.
Elon Musk or the billionaires keep mum and still enjoy their luxury lifestyle. This is capitalism under the so-called democracy, the best political system according to USA.
affordable housing？China has implemented it for many years. This policy provides affordable housing for many low-income families.
It’s a cultural problem in the US. There is 0 respect and accountability. There are plenty of affordable housing but they are taken advantage of. The people living in the projects across from my apartment drive nicer cars than me while paying next to nothing in rent. Most of these people do not strive to bring themselves out of poverty but my tax dollars are going to support them?
You may not mentioned the biggest reason, no drug abuse in China.
The major cause in US is not drug abuse. It was high housing cost. A lot of students in UC Santa Cruz live in their cars
North Americans living and working in China are stunned by the absence of drugs.
The Chinese prefers chocolates over drugs.
Explain why China imports methamphetamine and fentanyl into the United States.

I once gave money to a homeless person in London and he went and bought cigarettes and alcohol. Ever since then I have decided to give only food and not money, i did that once, and the homeless person theew it away 😮 this is how sick the culture is.

The culture is not sick. The homeless person is sick.

In China, they will first help him contact his family, and secondly, understand the cause and solve it. A very important policy in China's poverty alleviation process is education, so that they can learn the social skills they can rely on to survive, and through various kinds of help and policies, they can support themselves with their own hands. You have to know that the $10 you give can't help him get out of his current situation. He must be thinking: It's better to anesthetize himself!

I travelled in New York, I have seen lots of homeless dudes and I am questioning the real unemployment rate of U$Ass-A.
You drop out of unemployment statistics after you received all of your unemployment benefits ie 3-6 months. Hence unemployment and under employment is extremely high compared to actual numbers.
You are reported to utube for violating the hate speech rules. We do not need bullies like you on American utube.
@@inkbold8511All long as you are still looking for a job, you remain in the statistics.
And the benefits are all 6 months.
Well, I live in NY
@@Matthew_Loutner Typically speaking, homeless people are not actively looking for a job. Hence they do not fall under the category of "unemployment".
Why is China not suffering the social dysfunction found in western countries? Simple answer, solid societal management. This creates a happy and harmonious people who don’t fall so readily into self destructive behaviors. Chinese society has evolved a magnificent system of self governance. The CPC represents the people, it is of the people and like it or lump it, the CPC is an awesome administrative body. They deliver!
Your answer is completely wrong.
China is doing well because the United States has been pumping billions of dollars into China for the last 50 years.
they should create social status based on ethnicity, like we have better system, where we caucasians are the top social status and other race is at the bottom, this is far more superior than the chinese system.

Shanghai: Come and enjoy my beautiful city.

我认为还有一个重要的原因是中国的土地是公有制，也就是所有土地都是国家的，不允许城市有钱人购买土地，这样土地不会被有钱的人收走，也就保证每个农民都有自己的土地，就不会有人挨饿跟着求，同时也会为没有房屋的贫困的人免费修建房屋。就是中国政府提倡的：耕者有其田，居者有其屋
完全正确，根本原因就是土地公有制，这是保护了底层的土地不被资本家收购，西方制度是资本家的天堂，美国最大的农场主有200万英亩土地，严重挤压了底层生存空间，根据历史经验，往往在这个时候，就要有农民起义了或者无产阶级革命
是的，这也是中国历代王朝被地主和世家兼并土地导致内乱的根源，几千年来第一次解决这个问题，而且只有一个人有魄力 有实力解决这个问题。
When you get that much hate, it means you are doing something right. Western media/countries are just jealous.
Yes😂😂
Actually, the Chinese are jealous of the West.
Based
IMO, it's not so much about hate/racism or jealousy, altho it's definitely there, it's the threat that the established west based form of corrupt capitalism is being exposed as a failed system by a concept which is glaringly more equitable & sustainable by any meaningful benchmark.
CPC walking the talk, whereas the West is just talk.
The United States, Germany, and Japan are all developed and advanced countries, yet they still have many homeless people living on the streets. China just eradicated poverty in 2020, and there are still 600 million people earning less than 1000 RMB per month. Why don't we see homeless people in China? Don't you find it strange?
When it comes to national power, China certainly can't compare to the U.S., Europe, or Japan. So why are there fewer homeless people in China? The U.S., Europe, and Japan are not only advanced and developed but also welfare states that take far better care of the poor and low-income households than China. Given that China only eradicated poverty in 2020, it’s incomparable, which raises suspicion: why are there fewer homeless people in China?
Chinese netizens say that the Chinese government's urban planning usually includes the planning and management of public spaces. These measures lead to homeless people being restricted to certain areas or being forced to leave the city centers. Don't you know? Is there any human rights and freedom in this? "In Chinese cities, homeless people are not allowed to exist. The urban management officers and police will drive you out of the city. Whether you live or die back in the countryside is not important." "China is too unfree. Look at Western countries; you can do whatever you want, and no one will care. If you want to be a homeless person on the streets, you can. That's so free. The Chinese government is too authoritarian and excessive, not allowing Chinese people this choice. No wonder Western countries constantly criticize China for not having freedom, but the Chinese government just doesn't give people this choice."
Some in China say, "Sanhe Gods (drifters) and homeless people with mental disorders are taken to shelters and welfare centers." Actually, which country doesn’t have such welfare policies or measures? But people have the freedom to choose not to go. Do you understand? Usually, these places have poor conditions and many problems. In foreign countries, homeless people often don't like to go there and have the freedom to choose not to. What about China? Do they have the freedom to say no? To be blunt, it means being caught and locked up! Where is the human rights and freedom in that? Do you understand now?
Every affluent and welfare state has homeless people, but not China? China prides itself on having no homeless people, but they are all driven out of the cities. Whether they live or die doesn't matter. China doesn't even allow the freedom to be homeless!
When something exists everywhere in the world but not in China, you should be cautious! The underlying reasons are often too ugly to mention.
Most foreigners criticised china becoz they never being there. It is very difficult for them to handle the reality of china progress, peaceful n prosperity in such a short time ❤❤❤
Most are living on paycheck to paycheck so how the hell they can afford to visit China? 🤑🤑🤑
The United States spends billions of dollars every year to control the media to smear and spread rumors to demonize China. Believe that more will be needed in the next appropriation
Not exactly. We criticize China because they have a fascist one-party government that is not run by the common people.

I've seen probably 3 homeless people in Shanghai.. and one of them is a regular. Whenever I go back to the west... I feel like I've gone back in time by 50 years.
In my 11 years living in China, mainly in SH, 1 year in Nanjing and 1 year in Nantong, I only saw a homeless person once... in Nanjing. He would always be in the subway sleeping on the bench and the security left him alone. It seemed like during the winter time they even left him to sleep there when the metro closed for the night, and I would see him when I caught the metro before peak time. During peak times I didn't notice him, well unless he moved to a quieter station.
Like China, Singapore practically has no homeless.
There are many ‘halfway home’ for those who are really in need.
Occasionally folks who sleep in public areas actually own their own home. You will be surprised. 😳
Homes in Singapore are very expensive but 90% of Singaporean own their own homes. Find out HOW! 🧐
The most of jobs for migrant workers in China come with dormitory. As long as you have job, you will have free housing and maybe free meals.
What if your job closes?
@@Matthew_Loutner你工作结束可以回家有钱消费休息！直到下个工作开始！
Not free meal nor free housing.
But.. housing and meals provided in addition to wages for hard work.
Hard work is something many US citizens are incapable of,
and definitely not within the abilities of drug addicts.
@marktan3177 United States citizens "are not capable of hard work" ?
Are you joking???
China has a populaton of 1.4 billion and a GDP of $18 trillion.
The United States maintains a GDP of $25 trillion using ONLY 360 million people.
Dude, you have never seen hard work.
@@Matthew_Loutner The "Whites" came to the new continent, committed genocide and stole rich land with minerals, timber, etc from the natives. It was a relatively empty new continent.
China, on the other hand, had to work on an old exhausted land and in limited land space.
The Irish migrants came later and was unable to compete in hard work with the Chinese. With their ability to speak English they captured the unions and the politicians, and forced the Chinese Exclusion Acts as they knew they could not compete with the Chinese for hard work on an even playing field.😛
Which US citizen would work the long hours and be paid the low wages of the Chinese in China today.... you should watch them in their attempts to re green the desert lands.. Just straw, hoes, carrying-poles, water buckets, and hard work.
The low pay job in China often provide accommodation & even lunch for their workers ! It is the culture started from socialism was introduced to China! So as long as you find job in the city , you will be not homeless at least !
There are no drugs in China, which makes a huge difference.

China's new visa-free policy is doing wonders for China's image abroad. It encourages people to visit and see the real China that is far better than their western-media driven perceptions.
Since the late 1980s, I have visited China (including Hong Kong) perhaps more than 50 times for business and for sightseeing. I have been from Harbin to Guangzhou, and from Lhasa to Shanghai and many cities and town in between.
I have given some money to a migrant couple one night in a small street in Shanghai, when I was walking home after a heavy dinner.
I think I saw the last beggar in 1995, in Shanghai.
When I say "migrant couple" I mean a couple from villages in the interior who came to Shanghai to find work and a living... they were at that time people without "houkou"- or an "account" -official permission to stay in the city.... .
Homeless crisis comes from capitalism + neoliberalism + bad use of taxes. It comes from a state that serves the interests of the big bourgeoises, what the common people call "elite". Those are the bourgeois liberal democracies/plutocracies we have in most of countries.
On the other hand we have China, a true democracy that will always serve the interesest of the masses, the proletarian. Its a communist party that had to adopt to material conditions, but still they are within marxist theoreticall framework. Those big bourgeoises in China dont control the state and the society.

The problem is: do all homeless want to be saved? Some of them would rather keep their addiction.
Well done. Go and see for yourself instead of following our propaganda
The first time I went to Shanghai was 2002, there were homeless and beggars on the streets and in front of parks. They disappeared in the next 10 years. My suspicion was city moved them away for the world fair like we do in LA for Oscar ceremony. However, I went back a few times afterward and realized they are really gone.
China's economy has been developing and people have been lifted out of poverty, so there are almost no homeless people
There are still a few senior beggars in some cities. They don't look gaunt. They are professional beggars who want some more money. Right or Wrong? I don't know.
Twenty years ago, most of those you saw were professional beggars, and their income was very good, several hundred yuan a day, five to ten times higher than the average person's income at that time. Because of their high income, they are controlled by the underworld, charging them protection money, so there are many violent cases,Like breaking someone's leg, getting sympathy, begging on the street,Countries to notice this, began to governance,The first is to crack down on gangsters,Then it built more than 2,800 shelters, and a lot of low-rent housing, public housing,Every county-level city has such construction. Finally, the staff took the beggars to the shelter,In fact, most of them have homes and farmland in the countryside, so most of them are sent back home, those who have no homes are fed and housed in relief centers for free, and those who are willing to work are provided with skills training to help find jobs. They can live in council housing,A 60-square-meter house can rent for less than $100 a year,In about three years, we solved the homeless problem,In addition, there is no real estate tax in China, so people don't have to worry about losing their homes because they can't pay the real estate tax，
Finally, I would like to say that in the view of Western media, aid stations = concentration camps, sending beggars to aid stations = restricting their freedom, training skills to find jobs = forced labor,🤣🤣🤣
20年前，你看到的大部分都是职业乞丐，他们的收入非常好，一天几百元，比当时一般人的收入高出5到10倍。因为他们的高收入，他们被黑社会控制，收取保护费，所以有很多暴力案件，像打断别人的腿，得到同情，在街上乞讨，国家注意到这一点，开始治理，首先是打击黑社会，然后建造了2800多个避难所，还有很多廉租房，公共住房，每个县级城市都有这样的建设。最后，工作人员把这些乞丐带到了救助站，事实上，他们中的大多数人在农村都有家和农田，所以他们中的大多数人被送回了家，那些没有家的人免费在救济中心吃住，那些愿意工作的人提供技能培训，帮助他们找到工作。他们可以住在廉租房，一套60平米的房子一年租金不到100美元，在大约三年的时间里，我们解决了无家可归的问题，此外，中国没有房地产税，所以人们不用担心因为交不起房地产税而失去房子。
最后我想说的是，在西方媒体看来，救助站=集中营，把乞丐送到救助站=限制他们的自由，培训技能找工作=强迫劳动，为这些愚蠢的媒体点赞🤣🤣

6) Political party based on Race based and like my country, the majority Race will implement Lordship status with special benefit and treatment. As long as they are the majority, the policy will continue. The minorities being oppressed.

There's an urgent need for land reform in British rural land ownership and development laws.
A third of rural areasin Britain have been owned by aristocrats and elite families for Centuries. High inequality in inherited weath divides and distablises the UK politically ( ruling vs working classes) and socially, which inevitably, hampers overall economic growth.
Land reforms will facilitate state acquisition of land which has little or no cultural heritage or conservation value. This frees up land for shortage problems in public housing, schools and hospitals facilities as well as infrastructure for telecommunication networks, public transport in underdeveloped areas.
Freeing up calibrated areas of such land will unleash their productive potential and fuel economic growth in other industries.
UK need no monarchy.
There will be enough money needed to help our domestics poor, with just 1% of the money spent on meddling with other countries' matter (e.g., nearly 800 military bases).

As a Chinese, I can say that there are definitely homeless people on the streets, but the overall number is so small that it is almost invisible. Since most people in China don't use drugs, homelessness is very unlikely. Wages in China are not very high, but they are enough to keep people afloat. It has been said that in China, homeless people are sent to fourth-tier cities, while first- and second-tier cities are off limits to them. Nowadays, even in China's smaller cities, you only see a very small number of homeless people, because the mentally ill are protected by their families and welfare agencies, and normal people are rarely homeless. In China's big cities, some people may be temporarily homeless when they run out of money, but they always find a job or go home and let their families help them.
There is no such thing. Only criminals are restricted from traveling and cannot take public transportation such as airplanes. For ordinary people, if they have money, they can travel all over the streets of China.
the reason why china don't have a homeless problem that i can think of:
1 high property ownership
2 high saving rate
3 household system (if u are from the country side, you can't sold your village home, and if u are a member of that village community and don't have a place to live in, the village must provide u one)
4 no drugs
5 poverty alleviation work from the gov in recent years
6 cheap education and medication
7 the tradition of family members supporting each other
total agree with what you said
One thing in these videos that are always forgotten there's no graffiti in China (around construction sites that look like graffiti are related to the project). Homeless in Sydney has gotten a lot worse, 20years ago there were some in the CBD but now the major hub suburbs have them also. Australia is huge with a tiny population, personally the government should buy those ready built cabin/houses from China which are really nice from inside and cost less than a micro car and place them in the outskirts of the cities for some housing relief. All the media do is blame migrants that are needed for the economy and don't want to talk about solutions. Confucius teaching is large part of Chinese life, it's something I recommend everyone to look into it also overlaps with true Abrahamic (Islam, Christianity and Judaism not Zionism) religious teachings. Australians now get a 15day visa free travel and the ticket is not expensive at all.
In fact, China government has provided lots of low-rent houses for them, so you can't see homeless people in the street. They only need to pay a few hundred yuan(CHY) in rent every year. Moreover, the facilities of the house is very complete.
Homeless is tourist attraction, without homeless, there nothing in US.
You are reported to utube for telling lies about America.
Youre humorous,bro.😂
If you look around the world of homelessness. It's extremely rare to see Asians, or Chinese become homeless.
I have been living in NYC for 20 plus years, I only see one or 2 Chinese homeless. Most are white or black people or Mexican, or Hispanic.

It's all about gov policy. There were homelessness in China around 2000's, but the gov put a lot of effort to solve this problem. I rarely seen homeless after 2010, haven't seen one for years now.
@l34han It is all about having a place to send them. The Chinese government sent them all back to their villages.
@@Matthew_Loutner Who said that. My grandparents on both sides are farmers who live in rural China, I visit them every year and I have never seen one homeless in both their villages. Show me a video clip of rural China with lots of homeless.
there are a few homeless around the cities but they're mostly out of sight.... many came from other provinces to work but somehow the job didn't work out and they don't want to return to their hometown so they chose to be homeless.... bear in mind even baggers in china use wechat pay.... in order to access it, one needs an account (address) to open one..
If you wanted to see homeless people, please come to USA, UK and Canada.

@@Matthew_Loutner I had actually tried hard to do it but was not able to come out with any result.
I lived in an affluent Chicago suburb not the inner city, so I never see a homeless person here. But about 15 years ago we had a homeless down the street by the main road for almost half year well into winter. He had a tent setup, equipped with cellphone and laptop (think he used phone hotspot or free city WiFi). Most of time he was there during daytime and was gone night time. People said he was not really homeless and had a nice house. He was there to protest the city for something.
It’s because during Socialist times everyone was allocated a flat or a house. No one is homeless. Everyone has somewhere to stay even if it’s in their original hometown in the countryside far away. Or they have children or parents they can stay with. Unlike capitalist countries, everyone is out for themselves and have to buy their own houses or flats, and people are not always so close to their families. We used to have migrants begging in the 90s, 00s and 10s in some cities but China’s developed massively and many countryside towns are even better than cities - living standards, climate and benefits from the local government. Farmers are no longer poor, they get subsidies and receive benefits from local companies every year so they are no longer in dire poverty. They therefore do not need to beg.
That is really impressive! I wish I could live in China!
I could be wrong but I think the main reason is P.R. China only has history of 75 years during which the country is getting richer and building more homes. If economy gets stagnant or recess for another 100 years, people will broke and become homeless.
China has few homeless people due to, as Harvey said, family support and government policies. In my opinion it is also because the country is now at the beginning of a new peak era (盛世 ）in five thousand years of its history with strong national security and prosperity ( 国泰民安）。If history is anything to go by the peak era will easily last one hundred years.
America is at the decline.
@@henrychidera7865 America dying coz of capitalism.. The most richest people in the world are American, but the most homeless also American.. so confusing
If you do a little checking, you will find that China peaked in 2018 and started downward.
@@Matthew_Loutneri am indonesian, not so many homeless here
@@Matthew_Loutner are you sure. If you know about trading you will also know what we call a retracement. It doesn't mean they are going down it just means a pullback before a potential push up
Thank you so much for telling the truth on China and the West!!

Well said
I've seen homeless in China. Around Taipei Main Station. In Wanhua, near Taipei's Longshan Temple. Many of them elderly. Even in sleepy Taitung a few were sleeping rough.

那里不接受中国共产党的执政。
Years ago (2011), while rambling through Xi'an alleyways (near the drum tower), I happened upon an old man. He way laying on piles of garbage, crying, while people went about their business or ate noodles at hole-in-the-wall eateries (how I miss those!). I'm guessing that's not something one happens on often, these days.
My heart broke upon seeing him. I still think of him today, wondering what could have distressed him so terribly, and if he's doing better, now. Cheers.
Over the years, I've met a few. I talked to them, and most of the time, they were at the end of their rope because they were rejected by their families (or they had none to begin with). For the Chinese, family is the safe harbor for everyone.
I would sincerely wish a homeless person to find a home of his own, and I am willing to help him within my ability. But I would like to explain a phenomenon to you (professional homeless people). Professional homeless people often have a good family background, but they will dress themselves up as homeless people to beg, and take advantage of people's sympathy to make money. Because they beg on the crowded streets of downtown, people will often give them large sums of money. In this way, a professional homeless person is likely to make a profit of several hundred to several thousand yuan in one begging.
@@MasoodBrown A true story, 20 years ago, a 30-year-old man in northeast China, went to Guangzhou to work, lost his wallet, so he begged at the railway station, hoping to get a fare home.The result is more than 200 yuan a day, you know, at that time, the average person's monthly salary is only a few hundred yuan, so he directly changed his career, professional begging,Worked for more than ten years, bought a house in Hangzhou (house was not expensive at that time), paid social security, and now retired, is also a winner in life.🤣🤣
@@niu-ge omg，Omg， OMG !!!
US and UK have Freedom to be homeless while in China homeless will be housed. In 1995 the first time I been to China Guangdong province there are many beggars roaming the street. I remembered clearly I gave 100 RMB to a old woman that spoke to me in Hakka the same dialect as I am.
是的，大约20年前街上还是有很多乞讨的。即使现在，偶尔在路上也会看到1-2个，频率大约是半年到一年，可以看到一次。
Came to US forty years ago. Back then you hear of achieving American dream if you work hard regularly. Now I hardly heard this except from Trump rally.
You will always hear about the American Dream from me.
Only four years ago, I was living on the streets in the USA. Now, I own my home and my car. Everything is paid for -- no payments.
The American Dream is not for everyone -- it is for whomever God deems worthy.
@@Matthew_LoutnerAnyway, congratulations.🎉
@@Matthew_Loutner glad to hear
The title is very misleading. China doesn’t “hide” its homelessness like it’s a government initiative. They have their own land in the countryside.
Harvey, good job!..... alongside other prominent people who also have real factual knowledge of the real China, I will be including this educational video on the actual situation in China whenever I need to answer to some Mushroom people (those kept in the dark and fed BS by their government & news media) posting BS about China. Makes my work that much easier instead of having to carry out research to compile facts and figures to back-up my reply posts.
Cheers and all the best!
Stay strong and continue to tell the truth Harvey. The world will continue to support u. Just ignore those Western paid trolls.
Good report Harvey 👍
"800 milion people have been brought out of poverty"
Shows Mao 💀
Keep it up dude
you usually find them in lower tier cities in china
中国有穷人，很多，但是无家可归的确实几乎没有，因为至少在农村有楼😂
Plus the good is extremely cheap and affordable
谢谢兄弟我是穷人疯狂星期四V50恰鸡证明下实力
Most people don't know that china and India was like Africa before the 80s china do a very hood job to raise the quality of life for chinese people, I remember the early 70s when. There was famine in china and according to the history china always face fsmine going back to the stone age as early as the 60s about 30 million chinese starve because of lack of food, it's amazing how china was able to turn china into the 2nd most powerful country on earth in such short time.
中国每个城市都有机构帮助无家可归的人,机构会帮你找工作,或者补助,如果不能胜任工作,还可以免费培训,但是至少你必须是一个积极的人,愿意工作,懒惰的人就没人帮你,
When American look at homeless or any “problem”, tax! I am 100% sure, absolutely nothing will happen until it’s so bad that people have no choice but to pass a homeless bill, and the bill will grow more and more homeless for 1000 years to come.😂
Many Homeless people because they are Free！😂😂😂😂
Free to use drugs and be a burden on society.
Freedom!
well the reason is simple. Chinese has different class city with the top city like shanghai being very unaffordable, while the low tier city is much more affordable. Shanghai is more than 5 times more expansive than low tier city. So naturally if one becomes poor in shanghai they go to more affordable cities, usually that’s just how Chinese people deal with their life. Also if one becomes really homeless in big cities, they will deported by government and move to villages, where they will be assigned some very easy labour job, and they will have food and shelter. China used to have many homeless too maybe 7 years ago, now I literally can’t find one when I go back last year.
Good job using clickbit title to attrack CIA schill.

@GG-he8tethey make invisible tent .
@GG-he8telikely those tents used by those homeless in many of the "tent" cities, are made in/by china. They just hope the tents wont be among the sanctuon list
With economic development, people's living standards will continue to improve. There will be fewer homeless people and that's what a healthy, developing country looks like
说谢谢的声音好奶好可爱😂
Why there are almost no homeless people in China
First, almost all families in China have their own houses, which may be in the city or in the countryside. In any case, you will not be reduced to homelessness.
Second, Chinese people are very closely connected with their families. When a person is really desperate, his relatives are usually willing to take care of him for a period of time (not just his immediate family members). Of course, it is not a long-term care. He needs to work hard to get out of the predicament, otherwise people's patience is limited.
Third, the Chinese government has made a lot of efforts to eliminate poverty. China has an organization dedicated to solving street begging and homelessness. When encountering these homeless people or beggars, they will ask them why they are wandering and begging, and then give them solutions. (It may be to pay to send you back to your hometown, or help you find a job. If you can't work and have no house, the government will provide housing to ensure survival, usually for the disabled and mentally ill.)
Fourth, occasionally you will see people sleeping in public facilities in the city, but those people are generally not homeless or beggars. They may be people who stay in the city for a short period of time to save hotel fees. (I had this experience in Guangzhou 20 years ago. I needed to stay for a few days but didn’t want to spend money on a hotel, so I slept in an Internet cafe or park for a few days.)
✌✌👍👍
Thanks for the informative video. We can list all the technical factors, but the bottom-line philosophy is, do the government view people as who they serve, or merely source of votes? If we don't see them as citizens of a great nation, we shouldn't expect them to see that in themselves, should we?
170 million Americans vote.
There are 600,000 homeless people.
American seeing what and how China is today, they will probably go crazy because of extreme self denial mode activated 😂😂
Why would we deny that China has a fascist/communist government that is not under control of the people?
Well, in my experience with China, people may get good benefits to stay out of poverty. However, as a trade-off, it is also much more difficult to get very rich.
Great China ❤from 🇵🇬
I pass Victoria Station, Park Lane and Edgware Road in London everyday. I witnessed hundreds homeless people who built their tents , some just sleep with blankets or without. This broke my heart 💔💔💔
SF is more complicated than high costs. It’s limiting the construction of multi family housing by legal regulations.
They can go back home in there village, they do have home. 'Poor people' are not homeless in the first place.
It's the rich poor divide in the West. The rich are richer in the West.
The problems unsolvable are things can not bring money and votes like this one. The problems controversial are about which pocket the money and votes will go into like green energy issues. The problems can definitely be solved are the common interests like launching a war.
The reason CN has rare homeless people is because it has a massive country regions. Most labors who can't find their living in city would go back to their homes in country, which is also the key why the society could maintain it's stability under a highe unemployment rate. They have their last shelter in countryside.
when you spent less money to create homeless people in other countries, you got resource to save the homeless people.
We, in the USA, are the RICHEST country in the WORLD. BUT 42 MILLION Americans are starving, of those 13 MILLION, 1 out of 5, kids are starving in the US, all the while throwing away more than $218 BILLION worth of food each year. 13 million is the TOTAL POPULATION of, Colorado + Wyoming+ Utah + Idaho + Montana. They have been starving through both Republican and Democratic administrations. And we the American people owe 35 TRILLION dollars.
unbelievable 😓
I think these numbers are much pumped up by charity organisations so that they may get more funding from the government. The condition is bad but not that worse. The 35 trillion debt is certainly true. But don't worry because it will keep on growing and you may not see it explodes in your lifetime.
WOW
But your have 170m voters, be thankful to that
China's real estate crisis is on the top so there are more homeless people than in us and Europe combined
I find the homeless in America can be quite convenient at times. I once paid a homeless guy 5 bucks to watch my car in downtown Berkeley while I went to dinner. I went home in an undamaged and unvandalized car.
But one has to be lucky to find a dumb homelessness to do this. Next time, the one makes a call and to ask someone tow the car away. The car worth at least (5 bucks x1000).
If you had not done that, also your car would not have been damaged. But I reckon the guy appreciated getting the 5 bucks.
@@X-H-WuHomeless people are not sophisticated to do that.
@@Matthew_Loutner One thing I didn't mention was that he pointed me to the sign that said street parking is free after 6 pm so that was my way of thanking him.
As a chinese, i can definetly agree with you on that
中国有句话“扶贫先扶志”，一个人如果失去了对生活的热情和向往，是无法摆脱贫困的。
As a Chinese, I believe education and Confucianism also play roles in this. Chinese kids are taught from 1st grade to have a sense of shame, so often people in desperate situation would try to find a way to be sheltered in order not to shame themselves.
Harvey, love your videos. But can you change the "it's" to "its" on the title of the video?
I think I saw 3 homeless in Xi'an.
I usually see 5 homeless people per Asian country.
America is #1 for homeless. And I wouldn't change it. I left it.
Western media will not like this.
Western media is not going to watch it.

Due to land reform, rural people working in the city own land (assets) in the country. If they lost jobs, they can at least go back home to grow potatoes, won't be starved or homeless.
|ndia is exporting their unemployment problems and their unemployed "economic refugees" in millions to every part of the world, thereby, creating unemployment problems for the native people in host countries. As a result, many of the locals/natives became jobless and/or homeless.
