    我的中国朋友,这篇文章是假的。 这个外国人是被人给钱付费做的这个视频。 没有我的许可,报纸在这篇文章中使用了我的照片。 请不要相信这些反外国人的文章,他们试图传播仇恨。 我们都是朋友和家人,我们应该彼此相爱,不要恨,因为我们都是兄弟姐妹。
    I always try and be respectful when filming in China, I make sure to avoid any sensitive areas, don't film anything remotely to do with politics, or military or government, I film in open public places and film myself. But often I get suspicious old men calling security or the police on me, the police and security guards are always polite and professional and often simply just curious as to what I'm doing and once I explain that I'm shooting a video of myself to show my friends (you my subscribers) what China is really like, they often smile and tell me to continue, but it's not always the case and recently I've been getting a lot of trouble shooting my videos out in public here in China. There is a reason for this and I want to explain to you all why this is all of a sudden an issue, also I want to update you all on how the risks I've taken recently have paid off (or not) as some of you have been asking me to do a follow up on my Risk Failure video I shot over a year ago.

      So in nut shell what is happening politically is North Korea is launching bigger and more powerful rockets towards Japan and open waters and has been getting more and more aggressive especially lately. The U.S. has warmed NK and asked China to help get NK to stop being so aggressive towards SK, Japan and others. China says it will and never does and seems to be fine with NK acting up. This happened all during Obama's Presidency and Obama did nothing really just ask NK to mellow out. Then President Trump is elected and he see's NK as a growing problem and threat based on their increasingly bad and aggressive behavior and talk. He see China is doing nothing to try and keep peace in the region by working with NK to try and get them to calm down. The U.S. finally decides after more rocket launches and threats to SK and Japan by NK that its time to try a different approach and set up defensive missile systems to protect SK and others from a NK rocket attack. China now after having over 8 years to help reduce tensions and use its influence with NK to solve the problem now sees the U.S. defensive missiles and change in tactics as a threat to China and NK and they are now upset. China thinks that the U.S. is now targeting them with these defensive missiles and may use them if a conflict in the South China Sea over the military bases China is building in international waters and or other claimed waters by other countries escalates.

    I lived in Hong Kong for 16 years and went in and out of China on a regular basis. You are doing a good job in your presentation of the country. Living there is not for the faint of heart which I am. After 16 years I finally decided that I could not take it anymore. Not that I hate China but I could no longer tolerate the attitude and suspicion I got for being a foreigner. It was a difficult decision to leave but glad I did. I feel so much more relaxed after dealing with life there.

      Matapatapa In my part of the world they or at least a subsection, are called ‘curtain twitchers’. Unfortunately, in China and certain other countries (Im thinking of my time in and subsequent reading about, Saudi Arabia) with, shall we say, an authoritarian mindset, they have more leverage. Im also reminded of times, not so long ago, here in Ireland, when certain priests would take it upon themselves to go out into country lanes and physically assault courting couples in the woods with walking canes. They wouldn’t dare do it nowadays.

Even though there were 9000000 other seats. Then a guy here in Guangzhou was upset because I was filming in front of a restaurant 40 other bloggers have shown.

    Bro, I am a libertarian who has never lived in China, but my grandparents "escaped" Communist China and always tell me stories. Please for your own safety, try and not argue with the police and governors. I am pro free speech and liberty but unfortunately China is a really terrible place for people with "wrong opinions". They would kidnap and do terrible things to people and noone would find out. Few of my ancestors have been captured by the communist party for having a different opinion.

You are their greatest Ambassador to the west. I want to come see my Beijing family during the Chinese New Years, but you have me FREAKED at "Sewer Grease."

    • @bshinn4884
      @bshinn4884 4 роки тому +1

      You don't make much with a large farm. Upkeep is expensive, you can't always grow the most profitable crops or you'll expire the soil nutrients and end up with barren land, and most farms in the U.S. today are either real small, subsidized by government, or owned/leased by large companies. The best thing to do is work towards getting a few acres somewhere the land is cheap (Not on the East or West coast lol, too expensive) and then build a half-acre garden, keep some food, and sell the rest in the hipster side of a close city.
      I know an old family friend that does this and has a small bee farm with a few bees and he goes to a street corner near a rich, trendy part of the nearby city, and sells the produce and honey for a good chunk of change. Like 4 tomatoes for 5 dollars, a small jar of honey for 10-15 dollars, watermelon for 10 dollars etc.
      Rich people, especially younger trendies eat that homegrown stuff up. Especially the local honey.
      Around where I live (in the flyover states) you can get a few acres for 10 to 15 thousand, and even find some areas with a small house or trailer and small shop on 5 or 10 acres for around 100 to 150 thousand. Cost of living is low, but it isn't really the most connected or popular place. Kind of boring if you like people and being in the thick of it.

      police have a very boring job, and they are there to keep the peace, not to enforce the law (common misconception about the police, one they and politicians fall victim too quite often in some countries) Thus it is their job to release tensions from a complaint REGARDLESS of the law. An evil uncle would complain to their superiors about them also...
      Yeah, the law is meant to be used after a breach of the peace, of society, not before. This is the whole idea of victimless crimes being unreasonable.

      为了让这个youtuber能看懂我发英文吧。he doesn't like Chinese's some environment is acceptable. Like me, I live in the USA, I feel the USA has lots of fake people always faking polite. Their big cup soda is like for elephant and causes super fat. Their election causes a funny result. their gun problem cause lots of death and social problems. their health care is shit and lie. Cheese here tastes like heart attack and unhealthy AF. Their New York city is full of mouses and dirty scenes. So if I try to hate a lot, will I still live in the USA? No, I will just make myself suffer and hate everything around me.
      Instead, I know all of these America's flaws, but I still like the USA. Bc, I just like its education and lifestyle.
      What I am trying to say is, if you don't like a country, no matter how you gonna try you still dislike it. So go home and stay in your circle. If you like a country, even it is not flawless, you still love it.
      我觉得不能完全怪他,一个人刚出国少见多怪见识少是可以原谅的。如果要抱怨,他应该滚回美国。如果他只是单纯的想揭露一些他不喜欢的中国社会现象,那么他可以这么做,只是他这么做不会让他自己国家的黑暗面变少。而且他这么多的时候,会遭受很多中国人的恶意。别人因为他的视频讨厌他,那也是他自己的后果。因为你想说话,你想说一些另一个国家的坏话,你过了嘴瘾假装思考了之后,别人打你骂你虽不合法,也合理。而且人在异乡,中国人觉得的多看少说其实是有道理的。

    • @zhewang7214

      是的,你说的很对,中国的确还存在那么一部分人对西方国家还是过度迎合的。这部分人是可悲的。几十年前我们的文革饥荒计划生育摧毁的那一代人的牺牲没有教会那部分人怎么才能做个骨头硬的人。或者说这部分人始终就是麻木的。
      就像这个外国人一样,他可能看到了很多中国真的现状,但他看见的是烟雾而不是烟雾弹本身,他不知道是什么让中国有这些现状,是近代史,是八国联军的入侵,是他们Mayflower抢走了别人家园后对世界经济的控制和对世界的操控,是中国和苏联以牺牲自己亿万子民的代价拖住了日军二战时的主要战力他们才有更大机会赢得了珍珠港之战才答应了日本远超他们的航空母舰军队。是英国在工业革命之后污染了天空才开始了西方的第一波资产的原始积累,为他们英国以后几十年的统治买好了伏笔,完成了工业到创新产业的转型的西方这才把制造业这个又臭又脏的活扔给了中,印,泰,越。他们洗干净手臂,好像他们从来都是香喷喷的帝国主义。
      他们忘记了日本两座岛屿被原子弹完全气化的平民,他们忘记了美越战争那些流离失所的越南士兵和他们的家人,他们忘记了中东他们造成的的满目疮痍,他们忘记了made in China为他们提供的低价和避免的污染。
      他们只记得,中国现在碳排放超标,他们只记得他们为越南难民提供了美国国籍以避难,他们只记得他们二战答应了日本,他们只相信美国给越南和伊朗带来了和平。他们的CNN,BBC都是这么相信的,也都是这么和自己的国民报道的。
      这就是美国,他们的经济,军事以及教育,我真的很佩服。他们的价值观,我真的不敢苟同。
