Fun fact: London has the most CCTV in the world, but no one cares and the BBC doesn’t report it. CCTV can only be video recording. If a crime occurs, the police can solve the case through video recording. There are simply too many people in China. Only CCTV can deter crime. prices are low, life is convenient, Girls can go out late at night, which is a rare phenomenon in Europe.and everything you want is available. Chinese people can travel as they please and immigrate. People who don’t like China can immigrate to the UK at any time, but what’s interesting is that many Chinese students have returned from the UK because prices are too high, the weather is bad, and there are homeless people and graffiti everywhere.
As a Chinese, I have some issues to discuss with Western friends about personal privacy. In private places, privacy is unquestionable, such as at home. However, if we enter public places, such as buses or intersections, shouldn’t public safety be more important than private issues? To be honest, I really find it hard to understand why Westerners are so afraid of cameras? Would you do anything embarrassing in public?
My problem is, why the Westerners always have double standards? Anything n everything the Chinese do is WRONG , while the same thing the Westerners do is RIGHT! Do Western countries have CCTV? Do they have National Security Law?
You guys are nuts, it is a hard core communist country. The people have had their gold stolen, can't get their money out of the banks and were forced to inject themselves with the glorious covid elixir. At least learn about that communist shithole before making a silly video like this.
Don't wanna talk big here, just share a story back in my hometown, a tier 5 city in China, there was one traffic accident happened two or three years ago on a crossroad, one old lady got hit and hurt by a car at night, that car ran away from the site immediately and the police failed to track him down in one day, took them three days to find the driver, some citizens were really mad at it because the city government did not set high-resolution CCTVs on that crossroad, without newest camera, the plate of that car were too blurred to see, so the government had to replace those CCTVs in days. That's how Chinese people view on public security cameras.
It's interesting how Western media often portrays China as a country plagued by poverty, danger, scams, and unfriendliness. In contrast, many Chinese people perceive Western countries as having a high standard of living, which is why Chinese companies may use Western models to promote their products. When I first traveled to the UK to study abroad as a young person, I was excited and had high expectations. However, after a few days, I found the reality to be quite different from what I had imagined. There were many homeless people on the streets, graffiti and litter, and my UK friends advised me to be very cautious about using my phone at night due to safety concerns. It's true that China is not a democratic country, but the Communist Party has made progress in improving the living standards of Chinese citizens. I remember 30 years ago, when I returned to China, there were many beggars on the streets, and issues like robbery and kidnapping were real concerns. But China has since undergone a remarkable transformation, becoming even more modern than Hong Kong in many ways. Lifting 1.4 billion people out of poverty is an immense achievement.
I must pull you up on one item there. China is a VERY democratic country. It is just different. While you don't vote who runs the country, those people are under extreme scrutiny. There are 98 MILLION members of the CPC. And all members have a chance to shape policy. Even non-members more of a say about how the country is shaped. For instance China has a great system for feedback to the various levels of government. More people in China OWN a part of the company they work at. Meaning that this democracy extends to the workplace and working conditions. So please. Understand. China's democracy looks very different. But if you dig deeper you'll find that the quality and quantity of democracy that their systems allows is considerably more effective than it is in the west.
@@schrenk-d Agreed, whilst they don't get to directly elect their State leaders; those leaders are arguably held to account in a manner that we are totally unable to hold our leaders in the West. Our parties act as controlled opposition with the action of voting being used to create the illusion of choice. When in reality the peoples' interests are rarely, if ever advocated for due to both parties serving the same interests from the minority billionaire class.
I have finished watching the video and would like to share my opinion: China is extremely safe. In my experience and memory, only 20 years ago, China's public security situation was poor, but in the past 10 years, China's public security situation has been extremely good. As long as anyone observes public security cases on Chinese social media, you will find that almost all of them are very minor crimes. Even very minor crimes can become a topic of heated discussion, which proves that China is extremely safe. Any child or woman can go out alone at 3 am without any harassment or physical harm. In the past decade, I have not heard anyone complain about being robbed or mugged. There is also the issue of surveillance cameras. There is no one behind the camera watching you, but recording. It is used to trace crimes that have occurred and deter potential bad guys. If a good person acts in a public place, he does not need to worry. From a technical perspective, China is a superpower with a population of 1.4 billion. Does it need another 1.4 billion people to monitor? This is obviously absurd. Almost all Chinese people like public surveillance equipment because it can bring security and freedom. And the bad guys are most afraid of this. Some people have mentioned the issue of democracy in China. I would like to say two most important questions: "What is the fundamental purpose of democracy?" and "Is there only one path to achieve democracy?". Democracy is about realizing dreams and having a bright future for all people. Democracy is people-oriented, and people are the most important. People have the right to development and the right to realize their dreams, and they need fairness. In China, children from an ordinary poor family can change their class through hard work and realize their dreams. Everyone lives safely in society and family, without worrying about being hurt. This is the democracy I imagine. 2. Is there only one path to democracy? Of course not. China has its own development direction and a distinctive national path to achieve it. We have the right to choose. But all of this has been denigrated. In short: the Chinese people are returning to the peak position of history, returning to the role it should have been, and no one can stop them, they are fearless.
China has low violent crime but high property crime. My laptop was stolen while I was asleep and other coworkers also had their apartments robbed. Bikes and phones are also stolen a lot. It varies by neighborhood and where I live now is safer.
@@ruoguu Calling the police is a waste of time in many cases. The apartment I lived at didn't have a security camera. In most countries, the police won't help for theft. Why would I lie about this? I am assuming you are Chinese and want people to believe theft never happens and all people in China are angels which is ridiculous.
22:12 , I'm from Canada, my elderly parents in their 80s went to McDonlads for their coffee, my mother forgot her purse when leaving. They went back as fast as possible, this is time span of just little over 5 minutes. The purse was there, but all the money was gone. They suspect the triplet of folks who was close by since there were barely anyone there. It's situation like this, that I find myself defending what I've seen how safe all the vloggers who traveled to China have experience, guess what, no one believes me, because they believe in our news and social media feed

Once there was a foreigner said he would like to travel across the country in ten days. it's been one year now and he is still stuck in Si Chuan province 😂😂
The first of the three foods you eat is gluten, a pure protein left over from separating the starch from the wheat flour, the second is starch sausage, which has no pork in it, and the third is fish tofu, which is made from a mixture of fish and starch.
Westerners might know the gluten as "Seitan"; that's what it is usually marketed and sold as in countries like the US and UK. Of course, it's the exact same product as "gluten" at an Asian grocer, but with a 5x mark-up lol.
I believe that foreigners have a misunderstanding of the surveillance camera, assume that someone will sit in front of the screen and watch you. In fact, no one is watching at all, it is just recording. and It is a great chance will be overwrite by new capture.
Well done to both of you showing people China from the streets, interacting with the ordenary people, just watching your videos dispels so much of the Western medias anti China narrative. In the West we have cameras always watching us too, in every shop, store, mall, on streets, on peoples front door, car dashcams and we are even photographed by the traffic cameras, i think most in the West don't realise how many cameras are around them. I hope your time there continues to be so enjoyable👍
Shared bicycles are very cheap, and a monthly subscription only costs a few to more than ten yuan. After getting off the subway, I will rent a bicycle or two and ride home.
Mianjin is gluten. Mind blowing isn't it, when people in the west are seeking out gluten free foods, we eat somev food just for the gluten, 100% gluten.
6:05 In the order you get them on the plate, they are 面筋gluten (made of flour), 淀粉肠starch sausage (mainly composed of starch and chicken), and 鱼豆腐fish tofu (mainly composed of starch and fish)
A neighbour of my grandparents in Shanghai had their expensive pot plant stolen from outside their hutong. They went to the police and with their help, managed to track down the culprit through CCTV footage. Here in Sydney Australia you have bank robberies and jewellery shop smash and grabs in the middle of the CBD during broad daylight and the police can't manage to find them.
I'm from Hong Kong. Everything the foreign tourists (especially from the Western world) commend on is just like nothing else more than a norm to me: security, convenience, night life, food variety, people's helpfulness...etc......I think I should rethink what we have as a day to day norm now and cherish it....
I get in my car, order a coffee from luckin, drive to the mall, park ( let the car run), go inside and grab my coffee which is waiting. I pay around 13 rmb. At Starbucks same coffee and waiting 10 minutes around 30 rmb. Love lucking. I am in a small city but there are 3 luckins within 3 km.
And it also prevents the AC cold air to go out during summer. And in the end it's makes more energy efficient, because you don't need to blast out your AC in summer and heater in winter 😊
Your vlogs are so real and lovely. You guys always chose some local snacks and food unlike other UA-camrs, which is quite interesting to see. The cubic one is fish tofu. The curly one is made of wheat I guess. The third one is sausage. ❤
9:27 The three contain many starch. Grilled gluten, fish tofu, and starch sausage(containing a few meats). Fully sausage is a shorter one. But some prefer the starch sausage.
im in thailand currently & mixue is in bangkok as well..i havent eaten there yet but seen them. ive also seen other youtubers showing mixue in vietnam too..ive heard lots of good things about mixue,i gotta try it i guess..
Because China opens visas. I recently looked at UA-cam and found a lot of blogs and comments. Netizens found that the news reported by Western media was completely different. Netizens have lost interest in Japan, South Korea and Thailand.
The business atmosphere in South China is stronger, similar to the crowded commercial streets in Japan and South Korea, while the atmosphere in Beijing is too political.
@@OTWD_yt I think for foreigners, you can go to Shanghai as a novice village first. It is more commercial and international, English is easier to communicate, there is more nightlife, and it is very easy for foreigners to live in Shanghai. For those who like culture, it is recommended to go to some niche cities, such as Lijiang, where you can experience the traditional life of the ancient town and enjoy the beautiful scenery of nature.
This is a fantastic episode. You showed another side of Beijing that no Western travelers ever talked about on UA-cam. It really sets you apart from other Western travelers.
You can go to Nanning, Guangxi, which is my hometown. Very beautiful city, friendly people. The most important thing is that you can experience the culture of Chinese minorities.
Such a great video/vlog, you guys are honest, and your observations about China are very good, you don’t have an agenda, you show Beijing as it is, which is why we really enjoy all of your vids, your good guys and China looks fabulous. Oh no ice cream in this video, that was a bit disappointing 😂👍
Only one of the foods you eat is skewers of meat, while the others are all starch. The first one is gluten, which is entirely made from starch. The second one is fish tofu, which is made by mixing fish paste and starch.
Thanks for sharing, my frd on Douyin recommended ur channel, luv ur videos and the real reactions traveling in china. It’s not a perfect country but I’m sure you will love it once you know more and get into local. We’re here with you❤
Thank you so much. Do me a big favour tell everyone on Douyin to come support us over on UA-cam. This is our only official channel and the more views the more videos from China we can keep on producing ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Mobile payments have put thieves out of work, security checks have made terrorists afraid, and surveillance cameras make anyone considering wrongdoing think twice about being caught and punished! In my view, only with safety can there be greater freedom.
actully lots of cameras on the street don't belong to goverment, some of them are used for traffic management. if someone didn't follow the rule, e.g, traffic light. they will receive the bill in several weeks later. some of the cameras are used to capture the car ID for charging the parking fees. some of the cameras belong to the store, mall and private resident area. of course only the policeman and the owner can check these video when criminal happened.
It’s crazy how the definition of unsafe has change. I’d rather have camera around in public than none. Try subways in new York the atmosphere would just right away.
China is very safe. You can see women and children walking alone in the street at night without worry for their safety or property. I don't believe you can do that in the US.
After surching for affordable teahouses in Beijing, I realize that tea culture is mostly popular in southern China, like Suzhou, Hangzhou, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu etc.
It's really interesting to see you looking for Luckin Coffee because, in China, Luckin Coffee is known for establishing its stores in relatively obscure locations within shopping centers or office buildings. These spots are not prime locations, so the rent is very cheap, which also makes their coffee very affordable.
The United States has achieved three times the income of the Chinese through many methods, such as tariff policies, and has greatly publicized the poverty of China, but has not seen that the price of necessities in the United States is five to ten times that of the Chinese people under the policy. Luxury goods are more expensive in China than in the US, but what does that have to do with us ordinary people
7:57 The first one you eat is baked gluten, which is what's left over after the flour has been kneaded into a ball and washed with water to remove all the starch. 8:27 The second square I'm guessing would be fish tofu, fish with starch set into an elastic square. 8:50 The third is fried sausage.
Beside Mixue (pronounced as "me shoe-eh" with a short "shoe" and a longer "eh"), you can also try "A Yogurt Cow", their yogurts are quite good. Btw Mi means sweet or honey, and xue means snow.
Safety is relative! Some countries are less safe than others. But still have to observe safety rules while in China or otherwise. Western world is less safe now unfortunately
Western world is safer nowadays. Just a fact. Safest countries globally are western. You know the ones without forced camps with no due process. Negligent manslughter like medical error deaths are through the roof in China.
Just a note on the metro . Alipay has a transport code where you can scan on the ticket entrance slot machine, so you don’t need cash for the metro either
Correct. A while ago 3 teenages in my city robbed a phone shop in the morning and was caught in the afternoon immediately thx to the camera🤣🤣 And i definitely won't walk into a road without camera, for if anything happens, no evidence no safety🤣🤣
Square-shaped tofu is tofu made from fish. The blooming sausage is a sausage made from starch, and the spiral-shaped one is seitan made from wheat flour.
But, but "how much did the Chinese government pay you?" I missed reading this. It is more amusing to read hate comments than the usual "Wow, China is amazing."
❤ Once you’re around us, you get it. We’re not “mysterious” 😂😂😂 We’re just quiet. But our minds aren’t. But we try to be as civilized and friendly as possible, because we believe if you treat people like that, it reciprocates. God Bless you. I subscribed.
Why western people are criticizing china I don't know no country is perfect every one has its up and down but in reality Westerns trying to add negative more than positive
Yeah and everyone is so kind about US and UK. Jeeeeeesus. Nearly all western media goes after US big time. All negative. But they aren’t all sensitive. Now poor Chinese need western UA-camrs to show the ‘truth’ because they are so offended. I think the people of great China can look after themselves without some west hating twats trying to help out.
Therevare several major holudays in China that draw huge crowds: Chinese New Yesr, May 1 Labor Day. Dragon Boat Festival., August Moon Festival,,Oct 1st National Day. Expect huge crowds. Make appointments ahead.
The advantages of electronic payment are that it is convenient and fast, there are electronic bills, there will be no conflicts, and the most important thing is that it will not spread diseases, and banknotes pass through the hands of many people.

London is 3rd behind taiyuan, China and Wuxi near Shanghai. Which is a good thing the crime rate is very high in London
@@OTWD_yt 其实大家都搞错了，伦敦摄像机的分布密度世界最高，并不是摄像机的数量最多
西方人談到中國的攝像頭，總會提到一個詞：監控。我在此說明一下，在中國，攝像頭最大的作用是記錄，而非監控。沒有人會坐在攝像頭的另一邊時時刻刻在盯著你看。你也沒啥好看的。而交警和公安攝像頭的作用幾乎是一樣的，最大的作用在發生了不好的事情，比如盜竊、搶劫、交通事故、遺失物品的時候、甚至在因為一些小事發生了口角的時候，能回溯到現場情況以方便更快的找到責任人或者確定是哪一方的責任以及通過人臉識別系統可以更快的抓到罪犯或者幫你找到你遺失的物品。
而交警的攝像頭會有一個相對更實用的功能，通過人工上傳一些事故車輛、盜搶車輛及駕駛人的一些信息（是否毒駕或者酒駕過）而這些車輛在經過屬於交警的攝像頭的時候，在後台會報警，以提示指揮中心的人通知路面的交警及時進行處置。
不用擔心中國的攝像頭，如果你遵紀守法，這些攝像頭不會對你的生活造成任何影響。
而通過斯諾登的故事可以告訴我們誰在監控、誰在監聽。

14亿人，如果1%的人坐在屏幕前监视其他99%的人，1%×1.4billion=14million😅
这就是西方人超级自大的表现。他们认为世界所有的东西都是围着他一个人转的。
经常做坏事的人就怕监控，所以欧美一直在指责我们的摄像头，因为让他们的间谍藏不住。哈哈
Well done to both of you showing people China from the streets, interacting with the ordenary people, just watching your videos dispels so much of the Western medias anti China narrative.
In the West we have cameras always watching us too, in every shop, store, mall, on streets, on peoples front door, car dashcams and we are even photographed by the traffic cameras, i think most in the West don't realise how many cameras are around them.
I hope your time there continues to be so enjoyable👍
最大的问题是，就算西方国家安装了巨量的摄像头，但是它们的犯罪率依然居高不下，社会安全感急剧下降，最大的问题是它们的政府不作为，警察懒得破案，睁一只眼闭一只眼。政府官员每天的任务就是忙于选票无所作为，零元购遍地开花，人民只有在选举那一刻感觉自己有了权力，选举一结束，又变成了一只蚂蚁，任由统治阶级和资本家勾结来剥削他们的人民。
@@leonlili5312 yes, I completely agree with you 👍
Most dangerous place in China: night market. All your money in pocket is gone and you bring more than 10 pounds fat in your stomach to home. 😂😂😂
You are right but except Chinese don’t carry cash any more. 😂
Haha definitely us 😂
correct！ as chinese ，i have never gone night market，for keep my fitness hardly.

额，我不会英文，你需要翻译一下~共享单车是挺不错的，但是你要交保证金（用来保证你不是偷了它），有的共享单车的经营公司会骗你的保证金，所以你最好先问问当地人，前几年这种事还是有的，现在好很多了，但是还是注意一些，挺开心你能抛开对我们的偏见并愿意尝试，但是我们也有不足的地方，努力改进！

The barbecue you bought, two are soy products, one we call mianjin, one we call fish tofu, and the sausage is starchy sausage.
Mianjin is gluten. Mind blowing isn't it, when people in the west are seeking out gluten free foods, we eat somev food just for the gluten, 100% gluten.
Ah I see. Lots of people in the west are gluten free lol luckily we are not 😂😊
wow, you guys are like the locals now with the metro
We are learning 😂
6:05 In the order you get them on the plate, they are 面筋gluten (made of flour), 淀粉肠starch sausage (mainly composed of starch and chicken), and 鱼豆腐fish tofu (mainly composed of starch and fish)
Keep up the great work guys! Truth has no enemies only friends
I would like to have the government to have more cameras. Imagine your kids get kidnapped and no one catch them .
💯💯❤️
make me safer😊
The China & British CCTV had different functions, London had the most CCTV in the world but it's still not save, unlike in China it's safe.
@@iechuanlee9326 you need to also have a well functioning government beside all those cameras to keep people safe.
@@yunjuyishi are you telling me the UK government is not functional!!!!
A neighbour of my grandparents in Shanghai had their expensive pot plant stolen from outside their hutong. They went to the police and with their help, managed to track down the culprit through CCTV footage.
Here in Sydney Australia you have bank robberies and jewellery shop smash and grabs in the middle of the CBD during broad daylight and the police can't manage to find them.
Welcome from HangZhou！Great video！Thank you for posting this！❤🎉
Thank you 😊
I'm from Hong Kong. Everything the foreign tourists (especially from the Western world) commend on is just like nothing else more than a norm to me: security, convenience, night life, food variety, people's helpfulness...etc......I think I should rethink what we have as a day to day norm now and cherish it....
It’s amazing and safe! You should definitely cherish it 💯
你好，香港现在去深圳需要办理什么手续？可以在深圳过夜吗？
I get in my car, order a coffee from luckin, drive to the mall, park ( let the car run), go inside and grab my coffee which is waiting. I pay around 13 rmb. At Starbucks same coffee and waiting 10 minutes around 30 rmb. Love lucking. I am in a small city but there are 3 luckins within 3 km.

Fun tip: Those plastic covers 12:40 at the shop entrance are effective shield against the cold during winters. FYI

And it also prevents the AC cold air to go out during summer. And in the end it's makes more energy efficient, because you don't need to blast out your AC in summer and heater in winter 😊

I'm already looking forward to your trips to other cities in China
Your vlogs are so real and lovely. You guys always chose some local snacks and food unlike other UA-camrs, which is quite interesting to see. The cubic one is fish tofu. The curly one is made of wheat I guess. The third one is sausage. ❤
We’re all about the snacks lol. As you get to know us you might notice us eating food In EVERY episode 😂
Hey guys, your contents are wonderful! Keep it up!
Thank you we appreciate you ❤️
9:27 The three contain many starch. Grilled gluten, fish tofu, and starch sausage(containing a few meats). Fully sausage is a shorter one. But some prefer the starch sausage.
Thank you 🙏
im in thailand currently & mixue is in bangkok as well..i havent eaten there yet but seen them. ive also seen other youtubers showing mixue in vietnam too..ive heard lots of good things about mixue,i gotta try it i guess..
You need to try mixue lol I actually didn’t know they had one in Bangkok we spent our life there 😂
I went through all the ads to support you.
Love you 😘 😊❤️
So do I, like first before viewing the video and let the ads run to support the channel
Love you guys from Guangzhou! Visit southern China as well in the future!❤❤❤
Yes we will be 💯 keep watching us!
Because China opens visas. I recently looked at UA-cam and found a lot of blogs and comments. Netizens found that the news reported by Western media was completely different. Netizens have lost interest in Japan, South Korea and Thailand.
The business atmosphere in South China is stronger, similar to the crowded commercial streets in Japan and South Korea, while the atmosphere in Beijing is too political.
@@gunsroses1293 what’s you favourite city?
@@OTWD_yt I think for foreigners, you can go to Shanghai as a novice village first. It is more commercial and international, English is easier to communicate, there is more nightlife, and it is very easy for foreigners to live in Shanghai.
For those who like culture, it is recommended to go to some niche cities, such as Lijiang, where you can experience the traditional life of the ancient town and enjoy the beautiful scenery of nature.
Very nice video! Thank you for showing what China is truly like.
i have lived in beijing for serveral years，but i have not been there Pan jia yuan 潘家园. Thank you for this video

This is a fantastic episode. You showed another side of Beijing that no Western travelers ever talked about on UA-cam. It really sets you apart from other Western travelers.
You are welcome 🤗 ❤️
i am a bad guy in china.i am afraid of the cameras!😮
那你应该去追求你想要的生活，比如移民到没有摄像机的国家。

We love it and we feel so safe here ❤️
I'm a big fan of lucky coffee, where my first cup of coffee per week is only $1.50. Very good price.
Yes it’s very good value. And a tasty coffee too 😊❤️
Thank for speaking out the truth ❤❤❤❤
You are welcome 🙏
You can go to Nanning, Guangxi, which is my hometown. Very beautiful city, friendly people. The most important thing is that you can experience the culture of Chinese minorities.
Thank you we would love to maybe in September we will be in nanning so keep watching 😊
Haha, you guys actually made it to where I live at Viva Mall. Great videos
Ah haha thank you 😊
Such a great video/vlog, you guys are honest, and your observations about China are very good, you don’t have an agenda, you show Beijing as it is, which is why we really enjoy all of your vids, your good guys and China looks fabulous.
Oh no ice cream in this video, that was a bit disappointing 😂👍
我是中国人我非常困惑，西方人所说的自由民主是什么？在我的理解里，对于普通人民来说自由不就是能吃饱穿暖有安生之所，人民团结，社会安定，物价便宜，这不就是自由吗？
是有选举资本家代理人的自由，才叫民主。
自由民主的象征意义大于实际意义，因为美国是世界的老大哥，它是灯塔，民主自由就是塔里的光，美国会说：嘿~我已经照亮了道路，跟着我走。而塔里的光永远是不会照向中国俄罗斯朝鲜伊朗等国家的，美国会说：嘿~如此黑暗的国家。
记住他们越喊什么意味着越缺什么

Glad you like them! ❤️
Enjoy your video today,from Scotland 😆
We appreciate you ❤️
Only one of the foods you eat is skewers of meat, while the others are all starch. The first one is gluten, which is entirely made from starch. The second one is fish tofu, which is made by mixing fish paste and starch.
Thank you 😊
I hope you can come to Changsha, a culinary city
We would love too ❤️ maybe in September so keep following 😊
The square thing you eat is called yudoufu，tofu made of fish，a bean product
👍👍❤️
London has the most CCTV cameras per km2. Beijing in China has the most cameras (1.15M) but is ranked #10 for density
💯💯❤️😊
9:40 what you ate were 1.flour stuff more like bread but only the flour water skin part 2. fish tofu cube 3. sausage
Thank you 🙏
I guess the square food is called "fish tofu", which is made by mixing fish and tofu. The long strips should be pork sausages.
💯❤️
"Princess"😂..I like you teasing each other .You are the most funny UA-cam couple I've seen so far...
Haha we always wind each other up
have a good time!

16.49 maybe is the first tome I heard a car horn on a Beijing video !
Yes same 😂
Like your video,coz it keeps me guessing the location is
Mobile payments have put thieves out of work, security checks have made terrorists afraid, and surveillance cameras make anyone considering wrongdoing think twice about being caught and punished! In my view, only with safety can there be greater freedom.
💯💯❤️
actully lots of cameras on the street don't belong to goverment, some of them are used for traffic management. if someone didn't follow the rule, e.g, traffic light. they will receive the bill in several weeks later. some of the cameras are used to capture the car ID for charging the parking fees. some of the cameras belong to the store, mall and private resident area. of course only the policeman and the owner can check these video when criminal happened.
I understand 😊👍
让我来补充不用现金的好处：1.不会收到假钞 2.不会担心多付钱 3.花费电子化可以随时查找，尤其是有纷争的时候

It’s crazy how the definition of unsafe has change. I’d rather have camera around in public than none. Try subways in new York the atmosphere would just right away.
Me too
China is very safe. You can see women and children walking alone in the street at night without worry for their safety or property. I don't believe you can do that in the US.
I definitely do not believe you can do that in the us. I’m from the uk and some cities are very dangerous too
China is safe, but u don't need to say something bad about your country to prove that. developed countries should be safer than China.
@@cbcl531 you obviously haven't been to the US or France if you said developed countries are safer than China.
@@crazyjohnhowardhow many citizens in France went into camps with no due process? Worst safest incident in years came from China by the way.

Thanks!
Thank you so much ❤️
@@OTWD_yt You're welcome. Loved your video. Very informative
It's really interesting to see you looking for Luckin Coffee because, in China, Luckin Coffee is known for establishing its stores in relatively obscure locations within shopping centers or office buildings. These spots are not prime locations, so the rent is very cheap, which also makes their coffee very affordable.
That could be why it’s so great 😀
The United States has achieved three times the income of the Chinese through many methods, such as tariff policies, and has greatly publicized the poverty of China, but has not seen that the price of necessities in the United States is five to ten times that of the Chinese people under the policy. Luxury goods are more expensive in China than in the US, but what does that have to do with us ordinary people
7:57 The first one you eat is baked gluten, which is what's left over after the flour has been kneaded into a ball and washed with water to remove all the starch.
8:27 The second square I'm guessing would be fish tofu, fish with starch set into an elastic square.
8:50 The third is fried sausage.
Thank you 😊
@@OTWD_yt 😆
Beside Mixue (pronounced as "me shoe-eh" with a short "shoe" and a longer "eh"), you can also try "A Yogurt Cow", their yogurts are quite good. Btw Mi means sweet or honey, and xue means snow.

9：50应该是鱼豆腐，鱼肉和豆类混合制作的。
Safety is relative! Some countries are less safe than others. But still have to observe safety rules while in China or otherwise. Western world is less safe now unfortunately
I’m afraid that’s true a lot of the west is very unsafe now.
Western world is safer nowadays. Just a fact. Safest countries globally are western. You know the ones without forced camps with no due process. Negligent manslughter like medical error deaths are through the roof in China.
@@OTWD_ytwhere is unsafe? Yeah southern Ukraine. Where else?
West is much safer nowadays . You’re falling for propaganda
Just a note on the metro . Alipay has a transport code where you can scan on the ticket entrance slot machine, so you don’t need cash for the metro either
Cheers Danny I have found it 👍❤️
You are not watched all the time, the cameras only record, and the footage would be checked only when needed, like when a crime was committed.
Actually it’s helping us feel very safe 😊
Correct. A while ago 3 teenages in my city robbed a phone shop in the morning and was caught in the afternoon immediately thx to the camera🤣🤣 And i definitely won't walk into a road without camera, for if anything happens, no evidence no safety🤣🤣
The first one you eat is fried gluten, the second cube one is fish tofu, which is tofu made from fish meat, and the third one is sausage.
Thank you 🙏
Square-shaped tofu is tofu made from fish. The blooming sausage is a sausage made from starch, and the spiral-shaped one is seitan made from wheat flour.

Yeah and everyone is so kind about US and UK. Jeeeeeesus. Nearly all western media goes after US big time. All negative. But they aren’t all sensitive. Now poor Chinese need western UA-camrs to show the ‘truth’ because they are so offended. I think the people of great China can look after themselves without some west hating twats trying to help out.
