"I'm the visitor, I'm the one that has to change to fit in here, not the other way around. It takes time" - very well said and we should all have this mentality when going to a foreign country. I love this lady !
I agree. same to the ppl who moves to US , JP , etc. You made a decision to live in another country , then why you still try to keep the old way and say old language , what's the point to move out ?
@@ebayguy38 was just about to say the same thing! But I think it's more about just respecting each other's culture and customs instead of trying to change yourself and fit in.
When I was 16 I lived in china as an exchange student, an experience that has changed my life forever. Now that I am back here in Germany a lot of people act almost surprised when I tell them that I think china is an incredible country that we can learn a lot from. I don't think most people realize how incredibly enriching the experience of living abroad is and that no country is truly good or bad
@@weizhang2834 Sure, there is propaganda by the US but I don't think German media is financed and controlled by them. I think it is just the fact that because Germans can not wrap their minds around non democratic countries not being inherently evil, mainly because the last time Germany wasn't democratic it was pretty much inherently evil😅 And there is also just not enough general knowledge on China (and most countries, because like any other country we see things through a cultural lense) to understand the society. Most of my friends think the only reason china is working as a country is because every single person is just terrified of the police and the military and therefore too scared to change something. It's kind of ridiculous to be honest.
Würde gerne same sagen, aber unser Austausch wurde abgesagt wegen Corona. Ich lerne seit der 5. Klasse Chinesisch (bin in der 12. Klasse mittlerweile (zum zweiten mal 😅)). Es nervt mich wenn Menschen anderen Menschen bzw. Kulturen nicht den immer nötigen Respekt geben. Sogar vor meiner Chinesisch-Lehrerin machen meine Mitschüler teilweise unnötige, rassistische etc. Witze oder Kommentare. Sie steckt das immer ganz gelassen weg, man merkt aber, dass es sie wirklich nervt. Ich, obwohl ich selber Deutscher bin, mag Deutsche nicht besonders. Deutsche sind abgehoben, chronisch humorbefreit und leider immernoch passiv agressiv rassistisch (trifft natürlich nicht alles auf jeden zu). Dementsprechend möchte ich hier weg. Da ich chinesisch fast flüssig spreche und die Kultur und Menschen dort kenne und sehr mag, ist China die beste Option. Alle Nachteile sind mir tbh ziemlich egal, alles besser als Deutschland 🥲. Ich finde auch, dass man von China viel lernen kann. In fast allen Bereichen von eig allem was man in Bereiche unterteilen kann, ist China meiner Ansicht nach besser als Deutschland und viele andere Länder. Bis auf einen Punkt: Autos Deswegen wäre es mein Traum, später einmal für Audi in China zu arbeiten. Tut mir leid, dass ich meinen Anfall genau hier loslassen musste 😅.
As a Chinese living in NYC, I experienced worse than 23:00 last March when pandemic fully broke out in US. I got spit on by Americans simply because I am asian wearing a mask. Some of my asian friends had even worse physical treatment around that time. Now China is safer and I am not surprised he experienced this. People related to more risky places got mistreated, though it's unfair but really inevitable.
I think if more American people have an opportunity to get outside of their own world, not necessarily to China, they can see the world with their own eyes, then they will have a different perspective on many things.
I am a Chinese expat in the US. I am leaving the US to China for good this year as my exchange program is about to finish. American people have been kind to me in general. It's only when they know that I am going back to China, they would be like "why" and speak to me implying something like "why do you wanna give up your chance of living in the US and go back to a worse place"...... So yes, people need to know more about each other.
That's different though. You're Chinese. Although, my good friend in the US is Chinese. We met in high school. She grew up in the US and told me she'd never ever want to go live in China.
@@shannon2748 I grew up in a western country as well (I said 'go back' because I refer to China as my second home). Since she grew up in the US, she's probably already adapted to US lifestyle and living there would be too much of a culture shock for her. Maybe. Or if she's never been to China and only knows China through the media the west is blasting out, then she doesn't know what China's really like.
I lived in China for 4 years and came back to the UK about 6 months ago. We're hoping to go back before the end of this year! You can't beat the Chinese lifestyle in my opinion, everything is so convenient and relaxed. The people at 4:54 are so right the work environment in the West is so tiring and after you've paid all your bills you have nothing at the end of it. I regret leaving so much.
i thought uk also having the same problem right now? everything price been rising, an economist said that world economy will go bust around 2050 but idk if its true or not but it is indeed scary what might happen if it does.
Yeah. But what if Chinese people believes in 2% of what is sayd in chinese media about US? Say what you want, but try to compliment China starting with the "we need fair spreading of information" topic is a joke. And honestly? Those people are inside China. Is questionable if they're speaking without regards.
@@felipebleichvel6823 Hehe You have an attitude what I always saw on the internet. A kind where if it's Chinese he/she must have no own opinion, or opinion must be altered by government. Brainwashed, in other words. Well, I'm a Chinese who lived in the West for so long. I can very bluntly telling anybody my very strong opinions about politics without fearing our government or yours. You will be in shock when I tell you BOTH governments spread propaganda towards each other. I can tell when Chinese media is making propaganda against the US as well as many other intelligent Chinese. But I fear you believe anything US media tells you. That's the difference between many Chinese and Americans nowadays. Larger percentage of Chinese than Americans are so accustomed to propaganda that they developed immunity. But most keyboard warrior like you truly believe if it's Chinese, it's brainwashed. 🤣
@@yehuihe1825 I'm not a generalist. If you look at it with care, will see that I placed questions on it. And I think no bad of how clever chinese people are. Because "Chinese people" is a lot, to begin with. Indeed, if something, I think CCP, when the matter is to do what it has done to this day just fine, is really clever too. Chinese population overall being no fools is one more reason to CCP be more controling and strict. And I know how they are in the reggards of journalists and spreeding of information. So by no means, this interview wasn't in somehow watched or passed by some kind of goverment approval to take place. Now, in wich depth such thing happened? Is the question that I brough. Freedom, specialy of speech is treated very very different in China and in the west. You are right, both sides have propaganda, but the degree of treatment on the matter above is still quite different. Is not a question of brainwashing, is a matter of what you should about and what you should not. And I know you do understand what I just wrote and it's implications very well too.
@@yehuihe1825 in europe and america people were brainwashed into thinking they were free and had access to all truth via their media. Chinese propaganda is more direct and is more about not telling rather than mistelling.
Then tell that to your president pooh to bring back his families scattered in Canada, France and the US... I believe most of your government officials families in china are living in the West especially in the US... why do you think they were scrambling to live in the West?
To everyone keeps talking about Uyghur. News made up by Australian ASPI and BBC. See the China Daily for clarification info. The video also explain the things below. If u want to talk about that picture of a Xinjiang woman saying goodbye to her child, that was posted by her on Tiktok, when she was doing medical work during pandemic and not able to accompany her child. It was twisted by BBC or sb on Twitter. they imply that China is doing so, and use every picture of facilities with walls on the google map to verify their conclusion, (but these turned out to be kindergartens, schools and working facilities)
This is really insightful interviews from people who have really reflected on themselves, not just because they're Americans in China but Americans that can look from the outside
humans reflecting on real human behavior. every society in this world is capable of opening their eyes and broadening their minds further than their land borders, as they should. as we all must, in order to hold the world governments accountable for the serious issues we face as "normal" human beings.
Not really I'm Chinese, these people can't say anything bad. If you're a American in China, you're always being watched, if you're high profile you'll even be followed everyday, most people don't notice they're being watched 😂.
@@zhenyucai8688 .... I can't tell if you're joking. But when I was in China as an American national, the only reason why anyone looked at me was when I spoke loudly and English, and even then not really.

One of the best thing about China is the safety. Anybody (including young women) can go to any place at any time without the fear of being harrassed or attacked. Only very few countries can say the same.
Sadly, the Americans who need to hear this the most would be deaf to it. This country has become so polarized that cognitive dissonance prevents any sense from getting through.
I dont get it? America is losing jobs to China because of the unbalance with the workforce. China for a long time only worked low skilled jobs, however, in the past 10 years theyve grown and have now closed the gap on education and manufacturing. This isnt about america or the west stepping up to the plate, america doesn't have slavery and will never reach the output of china. Its simply "Invest in the ccp today, lose your rights tomorrow." Its like how we opt to buy from amazon today and opt to for go our consumer protection rights. People are attracted by the bottom line, however, before china came into the picture, it was about workers rights and product quality. The world has been brocken by foreign manufacturing. Its easy for an American to import goods and make money. However if you follow that money, he spends it on more product from china resulting in better Chinese manufacturing, and he spends it on property in the US/ the west, resulting in property becoming over priced for the average person, and this is happening whilst jobs move abroad. Unless people see and accept china isn't playing fair, either through ip theft or through stolen labour. china will continue to have the cheapest products and dominate the global markets. This is a failing of our governments, and enabled by the banks. They was correct about chinas protential but morally, they should never have worked with the ccp. China wouldn't have happened at the speed and scale if the banks didn't invest, chasing that maximum return. it was a double edged sword, for the companies who stayed in America they couldn't compete and went bust. Our European Union whos whole premise should be workers rights and product safety and quality, have signed a deal with the ccp allowing them access to Europes markets. This just demonstrates how fragmented the west has become. how our leaders have lost sight of whats really at play and how our individual moves effect each other. Its like we're playing chess and all the countries in the west are sharing one set of pieces whilst china makes calculated move after move. Uncoupling from china will be hard, however its a nessesity for global peace. The USD is an invention of peace and to facilitate its destruction in favor of a decentralised currency like bitcoin will set the world back to the dark ages. Time and space only exists for the animals. We are human beings and we can transcend beyond. Dont condem the world to the hand of the ccp because of cost. Southpark creators are amazing, its about integrity 👏

The black guy’s experience in the elevator also happened to me in the US. I am Chinese born and raised, now living in Miami. When covid just started, some white hispanic ladies saw me in a supermarket, they immediately covered up their faces with hands/scarves and looked at me like I am the virus, and they all started to talk super loud in Spanish..
@@zhenyucai8688 Many Chinese people in China are insensitive about racial issues. Not every Chinese person there has interacted with foreigners. They really are not exposed to this topic as much. Their wordings and actions could have be more careful. I knew the whole thing about Africans in China started with a male student who returned from his home country back to Guangzhou, at the check point for covid, nurse asked him to cooperate with covid tests, he refused and actually beat up the female nurse, and that video started a lot rage on the internet.
@Dee Lee I have never lived in any other Asian countries so I am not exactly qualified to conclude Asians as a whole. I grew up in a small town of China, I had probably seen one foreigner every few years in my town, so I had seen people asking lots of questions or even asked for pictures of them. I must admit that I was also pretty ignorant on other races. After I moved to the US, I lived in small town with white predominated demographic for a while, same thing happened. They were many wonderful people there, but they have limited exposures to Asians or other races, and I was the person who got lots of questions from them, about China about Asian people. Then I moved to a large city in the US, situation changed immediately. No one pays any attention when I walk around (which is great) no one looks at me as weird. It’s a very racial mixed big city, so many people have friends from difference racial groups, so I strongly believe that has made people and communities more tolerable with each other. This also including myself. After I got exposed to and made friends with different racial background people, I no longer have those stereotypes about them, at the end we are just all human and we share so much similarities. Having more exposure will bring more engagements, more conversations, and more friendships and more understandings and eventually more respects. That’s why I believe that ignorance made people more racist.
What is great about Americans overseas is they can see their own country objectively as an outsider. That's an education unto itself. So refreshing. Great Video because the presenter asks the questions and gets the answers directly and makes NO comment herself. Thank you. That alone is refreshing. We need more of these sort of reports.
This is why people need to travel more, know other countries and not just their imaginations and propaganda they are made to believe. Some never even leave the rural county they were born in for their entire lives wtf
Not surprised this report reflects only people that speak negatively about America and of course you have Trump bashers. They haven’t had to live with the puppetry of Biden. He she should be put on trial for treason. Not one of these people reflect the need to prayer for all nations. We serve a just God and soon the veil will be torn away from their disillusioned perspective of what is happening here in America…God bless American 🇺🇸
So many of America's problems have to do with its people being so insulated from the way things are done better around the world. We think we're the greatest and refuse to change.

Living in China for 10 years I agree with all these people the Western world has really no idea how great it is to live and experience the growth and prosperity of this country.
I think you must hate America so much, especially in American politics. However, you also don't want people to deal with firearms. I wouldn't want to move there for one reason, which has too many people in one area.
I've been a Mandarin student for some time and honestly, in the beginning, I did it because someone said the language was so hard that there was no way I could learn it and I just wanted to prove them wrong. But after that first year, I fell in love with the culture. Everything from ancient Taoism to modern Cdramas to dining customs. You name it. I've always felt like I didn't belong in the states. I look around and say "man I want to leave this country". And it's not because I don't love my home country, but instead because I want to see the world more. Lot's of people here have the idea that this is THE ONLY country in the world and I hate that. Lots of blind faith if you ask me.
@@emmag.7731 It's completely understandable, I have never met a single American that didn't think America wasn't the center of the world and that they should be able to do anything they want wherever they go in the world. Anyway, typing in Chinese and writing is very different. When you get used to typing chinese, reading also becomes easier but when it comes to actually writing words, you'll start drawing blanks and forgetting, it's very common even for chinese people.

The leaders of the country have been appallingly terrible, awful leaders.
Refreshing to hear an international POV. I lived in Japan for 2 years and it greatly influenced my worldview. Great for Americans to travel and see the world and things with their own eyes.
As a recovering journalist, this video gives me hope. Yes, these were open-ended, fairly softball questions, but the speakers' answers weren't reduced to 15-second sound bites devoid of substance. Kudos to the interviewers for being flexible enough to ditch their initial story angle and still produce a very insightful piece.
"Recovering journalist" lololol I can relate. "Journalists" -- especially the kind of walking scum Buzzfeed hires-- are just PR agents, .... "journalist" is no different nowadays than "politician" or "lawyer" in terms of sliminess.
@@itsbeyondme5560 I think it's sad that some Americans live in China and think like that one guy, "But what would I do for a job in the US with just a bachelor's degree"? It's a shame that people think they need to go thousands of miles away for work. There are jobs in the US, but not if you major in basketweaving 101. Health care jobs are where it's at. Anything else, and you can be an English teacher slave in an academy in Asia.
I plan to move to China to teach English after getting my college degree.. I didn’t realize people thought Americans living there was such a big deal..? Some people don’t care about government/political issues and just want to live their life. I can’t wait to start a new part of my life there.

Visiting an Asian country has always been a dream of mine since childhood. Especially China. At the age of 30 in 2020 (ironically), I had a chance to work in Shanghai on a big project for 5 weeks. I'm dying to go back! I got a taste of it and now that's all I can think about. There are many opportunities but I can't get my visa renewed because of the pandemic. Stumbling upon this video has been a boost since I've recently been skeptical about getting out there. It's possible. Just a matter of time.
I used to live in China, and I miss it. However, in my experience it's hard to save for retirement as a foreigner, and you can't stay there forever unless you marry a Chinese person, which isn't guaranteed to happen. It's really a great place to live and work :) .
If you work there for 20 years as a foreigner and pay taxes the whole time, you won't beble to qualify for their welfare system once you become to old to work?

I was born in China and my family immigrated to Canada when I was 7 years old. I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life in North America, but the older I get, the more I realize how incredibly problematic the societal infrastructure here is. I have witnessed so many lies and so much manipulation of the truth about China that I have become so fatigued. I have tried to talk to people about the facts, but no one seems to believe me, and continue to think of China as a disturbing dystopia. It was in 2020 that I decided I will be leaving the country I have spent the majority of my life in to go back to China as soon as I graduate, hoping for more peace and order.
I left China when I was 5, and even though I'm in a great country right now, considering the advancements and how damn safe it is in China, I might move there one day too.

The most obvious answer is opportunity. It's the same reason why the Chinese live in America. Also, working or going to school abroad looks good on your resume when seeking employment.

Not chineese or american, a european speaking here, and thank you, this was very insightful! I have gained a lot of clarity from these interviews. This was pure, nothing fake. I realize I had formed many prejudices,both against US and China (in bad way), because of the bombardment of news, it had made me ignorant. It gives you a sense that the world is going crazy. But actually, behind the scenes, there are many educated, well articulated people that can actually think for themselves and seem to have good heart. I like to see Chinese-American and American-Chineese people, mixed blood, in this globalized world it will help the idea (that is true) that we are all citizens of the world! Once we all realize that we are all humans and part of humanity we will create a better world for everyone. It only takes some generations for everyone to be related, in the end we are all brothers and sisters.
Rohan has an Asian American fetish guys and what he means by American is (White man preferably and Asian woman) I’m sick of all these Europeans they aren’t our friends cmon think about it Europe colonized so many different places Europe made people gate themselves because of their skin and there is even discrimination within the white community the Irish are the blacks of the white society the Dutch colonized South Africa and think about it Eurocentric beauty standards they all come from one place Europe even if it is descent it is still Europe.They take all the credit for making electronics and being so smart but you never hear of any Asian billionaires like that or African or Hispanic or middle eastern billionaires even though there are even with video games the main character (person your playing as)is usually white and a male all the important roles go to white people who even created racism a white man named Charles Darwin (may not have but encouraged it) They praise this man so much but don’t care about what he did to blacks and Christopher Columbus they love to give him praise when he didn’t discover anything don’t even get me started on the native Americans all of them that lost their lives because white and Spanish people most Mexicans are of Spanish descent and no one cares about them they aren’t Spanish people (European) the cruel doings have mainly been done by white people (yes this kind of has nothing to do with what Rohan said but it has relevance) how he talks about mixed blood he wants to be a part of the Asian culture by making mixed blood why can’t it be for love you just want to see a breed of human for your benefit not because you don’t care about race or skin color because you want to see a closed society (Asians) who have had traditions for over 5000 years to open up but to white people
i just hope there's reconciliation between the two ideologies on the world rn (capitalism and communism).

You only see, what they want you to see. You do know, that all China info, goes through the ministry of truth. Of course there are happy people. But when there is a knifing, around the corner, it isn’t in the local news. The houses have cage like bars around the windows, everything is locked. “Because of no crime”. Yes I’ve been there.
I lived in China for 9 year's and every second of it felt like a dream , living in china as a foreigner felt like a drug I honestly loved living there so much it took a world wide pandemic to get me out and allow me to see that I've never had a chance for an actual future there so after the borders were opened again I decided not to go back , I started my own company and its doing well , but still not gonna lie I love china and I miss it every single day
To everyone keeps talking about Uyghur. News made up by Australian ASPI and BBC. See the China Daily for clarification info. The video also explain the things below. If u want to talk about that picture of a Xinjiang woman saying goodbye to her child, that was posted by her on Tiktok, when she was doing medical work during pandemic and not able to accompany her child. It was twisted by BBC or sb on Twitter. they imply that China is doing so, and use every picture of facilities with walls on the google map to verify their conclusion, (but these turned out to be kindergartens, schools and working facilities)
@@gloriataro3509 no actually I spoke with Xinjiang people myself and they were always so terrified to speak about the crime's commited against them I've heard horror stories about how the dogs of the CCP treat People there , you even took away their passports so they are not even allowed to run away from your crimes the CCP is a criminal organisation and every one who supports it is no different
@@gloriataro3509 it's funny that you look into Chinese news media for "clarification info". It's not just Australian news or BBC that talks about what's happening to Uyghurs in Xinjiang, but UN is also talking about it. Chinese government is clearly censoring the information. That is the clarification info you can find, if you can actually find.
Great perspectives. It is simply refreshing to hear the interviewees' angles. Isn't it nice to see people who give neutral and intelligent comments. People's lives and livelihood matter.

@@canavero4288 agree on the first half. Also disagree on the second half. Low income America went to college through fasa and community college and transfer to state college. I did that when I first came here. Also college graduates don’t always mean they are articulate. I find a guy who has experience in plumbing better to talk to about some stuff than an engineer guy.
The lady's remark at 17:00 mark is spot on. You need to stop hate groups from forming before it gets out of hand especially on mainstream social media outlets where millions of people can get exposure to.
Billions in chinese case. That’s why censorship was important in china and developing countries. Imagine a billion poor uneducated people without censorship back in the 80s. You can’t make everyone happy.
The problem is in the west the hate groups are usually the ones that want to put their own one-sided censorship into law that's how it has traditionally been anyways, different circumstances
@A.A. Sommerkamp-Homann I am Chinese. I totally agree with you that freedom of speech in social media to end a chaos is wrong. And I also don’t have much idea about why the gov set censorship and firewall. But I can share with you some of my observations and random guess. For the censorship, we can easily avoid it by adding spaces or slash between characters, unless someone reports you. But if most of the people agree with your opinion, it could go virally on social media with no one can control. Most of The chaos roots in deep and incompatible social conflicts no matter the systems. Maybe censorship could be a good way to stay alarm to potential chaos but at the end of day unity and being at the same page are the only answers. Besides, it seems to me that the censorship in China makes people care less about politics but more about how to live a better life. People discuss more ethical issues like feminism, sexual harassment, surrogacy than political issues. For the firewall, i can easily get out like what I am doing now using a vpn. A lot of Chinese are reuploading interesting videos and it’s comments from UA-cam to our local social media. However, thanks to the wall, there are few videos or tweets about the anti China sensations and it reduce the nationalist sentiment against America and other western countries. Most ppl are humble to learn the advance technology from the westerns while loving their own country. Though Americans generally don’t like China, most of the Chinese look up to the US and have a strong wish to make their country become as strong as the US instead of anti. I don’t make conclusions about the rightness, it’s just my observations. Feel free to comment.
I’m in the UK but China looks beautiful & certainly more advanced in terms of welfare, healthcare, education etc. The guy who mentioned “American Exceptionalism” seemed absolutely spot on. Great video. Thanks!

I've been living in China for 2 years. I'm from America and I've never felt safer. I don't know if I want to go back to America, especially with everything happening. China really is a great place to live.

i think foreigners feel more safe cuz Americans are more "outspoken" then Chinese people. Most Chinese people are taught to keep unnecessary comments to themselves. if they dont bother you or cause you harm then just let them be, no need for a conflict. thats the way i was raised

People in China does observe too much foreigner privilege and request against it. At the same time, this observation means such privilege is fainting away
@@ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh123 Around the world there is a perception that the USA sees itself as exceptional, that Americans feel the USA is the "only" country in the world (which is rather expected, everyone's home country is THE country and everywhere else is "other" countries) and that when they go abroad they behave and speak as if they thought the USA is the "guiding light" for the globe, in other words give off a sense of superiority. I'm guessing this is what the man in the video referred to. This is obviously not true for every American, as usual with every stereotype, but in the other hand some Americans, like him, admit that their perception of the rest of the world doesn't go far and actually going outside of the USA forces them to re-evaluate their country's perceived position.
well this stupid talking point hast to have some boundaries to it. if we’re talking about countries such as America and Canada as the west, then I guess it’s supposed to be the majority which is Anglo-Saxons and other Europeans conforming to native American lifestyle which we all know they decided to annihilate. to which then the next imposed their western European lifestyle on people they bought and stole from Africa, and now bar Southern Americans from entering. your whole point is just wrong.
@@a.h.i267 yeah. Expect I am not from Western Europe. We neves had colonies, yet we have trouble makers in the country. So your whole point is just wrong.
This is such a great interview! The expats gave honest and thoughtful answers, and having lived in China for three years in the past, I agree that their comments on China are pretty much true. My take on why the Chinese media has not publicized the U.S. Capitol riot is that the Chinese government does not believe in playing the negative media campaign game. Truth be told, China has a lot of vested interest in the U.S.; it serves them no good to see U.S. down. It's like why would you laugh at your customers when your customers are in trouble?
So true. China and the US are intertwined with each so deeply and in so many ways. There's a Chinese saying: 唇亡齿寒 (If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold). Either one is down, the other one will definitely suffer a lot. And also why the Chinese are helping other countries to build infrastructure is because we believe if you grow, we can grow too, then we'll all have a better life. We all deserve better lives.
No, Chinese media did report the US Capitol riot on CCTV news time. China reports riots happening in all countries. We just think that is just something often happening between two parties outside of China, such as Taiwan, S. Korea and Japan. So, not bery surprised.
@@eastwesttalkshow6129 Yes, China did publicize the U.S. Capitol Insurrection and riots. What's terrible is that many Chinese media companies and influential people compared the U.S. Capitol riots to the protests in Hong Kong denouncing both situations as examples of extremism that must be stopped. The people in Hong Kong fought to be free and have their own government that is not influenced by the CCP, which violated Hong Kong's contract that it will remain free until 2050. They are not comparable to the U.S. Capitol rioters.
i remember going to china for the first time back when i was 9 to visit my family. america and americans live behind the idea of being the greatest country in the world, i was definitely subconsciously thinking like that, and judging before feeling and taking it all in but in many aspects, china is definitely a country we should learn from. really each country has something to offer, and i guess the lesson is to remember to always be open minded.
Now wstern media even c an't hide the t r uth that China is more developed and the govrnment also has strong p0litical commitment to advance its nation to the right track. You all should be angry to learn about the movie called "Voices From the Frontline: China's War on P0verty" has been taken down by the U.S govt. The movie was actually created by R.L. Kuhn Foundation collaborates with KCET and PBS SoCal. CGTN was only associate in supporting the movie recording inside the country. PBS cancelled the airing program and taken down the streaming without any further info. When the PBS SoCal's executive director being interviewed about his view, he just said "The PBS (parent company) said the documentary doesn't meet our editorial". Such action from the U.S to hide the t r uth for the world that China's p0Iitic system is more effective than wstern d3m0cracy.
The father who wants to bring his son to America but mentioned health insurance being a barrier to that is so sad. The fact that Americans pay for healthcare still absolutely baffles me
Simply, Capitalism and govt can't pay such high prices so, it's just how it is and even just a broken leg could cost a little over 6k so, insurance is a necessity here.
Yeah, I'm a teenager but up until the past couple of years I had never thought about it that way. All the health insurance, medicaid, medicare, blue cross/blue sheild, aetna etc. ads being shoved down my throat (and I'm a minor) like of course everyone wants security for their health, but having to pay for it and the bills and so on... I started to realize how "foreign" the concept really is. My grandmother lives in Canada, but her doctor is in New York ( a democratic state, and yes, healthcare issues get split by political parties at times, which is utterly ridiculous). She would be getting the care she needs in the state that I live in, but there's some law or regulation that makes it harder or cost more money (I don't know the exact situation, just that my state is VERY republican). Health insurance, and I guess insurance in general (?) is huge here, big business.
Correction. All healthcare is paid for be it by taxes or some form of insurance or both. What baffles a lot of people is the exorbitant cost of healthcare in the US and the acceptance of it as a necessity.
@@jinngeechia9715 As an American, I promise you that most of us cannot afford healthcare. Only the privileged don't have to worry about the cost of healthcare in this country.
@@Justfeb01 Nope. You can find lots of stories on Quora about people going to hotels in China and them already having VPNs or cops not even caring about a VPN (I’ve even read stories of a cop complaining the police station’s VPN is slower than his at home and a cop asking a citizen where they downloaded their VPN so they can use it too). I think what you can “get in trouble” for in regards to a VPN is making and selling one by yourself-or at least that’s what I’ve read from other people. :P

The older lady with sunglasses has a great attitude. It is important to understand not just the direct translation of the language, but also the culture/customs which gives you the deeper meaning behind the language. It is very difficult at first if you haven’t studied before coming to China, but eventually you improve and become fluent over time. I had so many misunderstandings and some funny embarrassing situations trying to speak Chinese but eventually I could speak a lot better in just over a year than some other foreigners who had lived in China for decades. It’s important to live and socialise with Chinese people rather than just other foreigners.
Yes, it was a hot topic on Weibo Zhihu DouBan Wechat... , so I don't know why the host thinks most Chinese don't know? And I know most Chinese was like: Trump again? So sick of him lately. Next celebrity please... LOL
this video gives me so much happiness, living in the U.S. I forgot this is how actual articulate humans being sound like. this video adds an outside “American” perspective on the problems that the U.S. has.
I am very interested in moving to China after I graduate college. I spent 8 years in China as a kid. My parents are bilingual and raised me as such. Really wish I kept more of the language and culture.
I mean I'm more exasperated than laughing, the government has been needing some new ideas/different organization. But I'm also wondering why we care about what other countries think about us(unless someone sees an opening to attack, but pretty unlikely).
Yeah that guy can stay in China, what a POS. Real Americans could care less what China thinks, we care more what Japan thinks. Trump tried to do some good things but man these commies and their American Globalist followers sure did take him out for good. I guess we can all live in a wonderful world of censorship, secret police and internet monitoring now. Great job guys! Really appreciate the new America. Keep telling yourselves the world is awesome while it spirals down to one big dictatorship of poverty. America is already becoming poorer and the world will suffer for it.

Now that I am back here in Germany a lot of people act almost surprised when I tell them that I think china is an incredible country that we can learn a lot from.
I don't think most people realize how incredibly enriching the experience of living abroad is and that no country is truly good or bad
Loook at the German medias, you will understand why they anti China, basically most medias from western countries are funded by USA .
@@weizhang2834 Sure, there is propaganda by the US but I don't think German media is financed and controlled by them.
I think it is just the fact that because Germans can not wrap their minds around non democratic countries not being inherently evil, mainly because the last time Germany wasn't democratic it was pretty much inherently evil😅
And there is also just not enough general knowledge on China (and most countries, because like any other country we see things through a cultural lense) to understand the society.
Most of my friends think the only reason china is working as a country is because every single person is just terrified of the police and the military and therefore too scared to change something. It's kind of ridiculous to be honest.
Würde gerne same sagen, aber unser Austausch wurde abgesagt wegen Corona. Ich lerne seit der 5. Klasse Chinesisch (bin in der 12. Klasse mittlerweile (zum zweiten mal 😅)).
Es nervt mich wenn Menschen anderen Menschen bzw. Kulturen nicht den immer nötigen Respekt geben. Sogar vor meiner Chinesisch-Lehrerin machen meine Mitschüler teilweise unnötige, rassistische etc. Witze oder Kommentare. Sie steckt das immer ganz gelassen weg, man merkt aber, dass es sie wirklich nervt. Ich, obwohl ich selber Deutscher bin, mag Deutsche nicht besonders. Deutsche sind abgehoben, chronisch humorbefreit und leider immernoch passiv agressiv rassistisch (trifft natürlich nicht alles auf jeden zu). Dementsprechend möchte ich hier weg. Da ich chinesisch fast flüssig spreche und die Kultur und Menschen dort kenne und sehr mag, ist China die beste Option. Alle Nachteile sind mir tbh ziemlich egal, alles besser als Deutschland 🥲. Ich finde auch, dass man von China viel lernen kann. In fast allen Bereichen von eig allem was man in Bereiche unterteilen kann, ist China meiner Ansicht nach besser als Deutschland und viele andere Länder.

People related to more risky places got mistreated, though it's unfair but really inevitable.

@@shannon2748 I grew up in a western country as well (I said 'go back' because I refer to China as my second home). Since she grew up in the US, she's probably already adapted to US lifestyle and living there would be too much of a culture shock for her. Maybe. Or if she's never been to China and only knows China through the media the west is blasting out, then she doesn't know what China's really like.
@RTX3090 SLI owner She knows all about it though because her parents are Chinese. They moved to the US when she was 12.
I lived in China for 4 years and came back to the UK about 6 months ago. We're hoping to go back before the end of this year! You can't beat the Chinese lifestyle in my opinion, everything is so convenient and relaxed. The people at 4:54 are so right the work environment in the West is so tiring and after you've paid all your bills you have nothing at the end of it. I regret leaving so much.
i thought uk also having the same problem right now? everything price been rising, an economist said that world economy will go bust around 2050 but idk if its true or not but it is indeed scary what might happen if it does.

You will be in shock when I tell you BOTH governments spread propaganda towards each other. I can tell when Chinese media is making propaganda against the US as well as many other intelligent Chinese. But I fear you believe anything US media tells you.

@@yehuihe1825 I'm not a generalist. If you look at it with care, will see that I placed questions on it.
And I think no bad of how clever chinese people are. Because "Chinese people" is a lot, to begin with. Indeed, if something, I think CCP, when the matter is to do what it has done to this day just fine, is really clever too. Chinese population overall being no fools is one more reason to CCP be more controling and strict. And I know how they are in the reggards of journalists and spreeding of information. So by no means, this interview wasn't in somehow watched or passed by some kind of goverment approval to take place. Now, in wich depth such thing happened? Is the question that I brough. Freedom, specialy of speech is treated very very different in China and in the west. You are right, both sides have propaganda, but the degree of treatment on the matter above is still quite different.

this is an advantage of a person not born in a English speaking country: laughing at English and People of US
Idk what that means though. What happened in the UK? (Is he talking about Brexit and/or the new coronavirus strain?)
I dont get it? America is losing jobs to China because of the unbalance with the workforce. China for a long time only worked low skilled jobs, however, in the past 10 years theyve grown and have now closed the gap on education and manufacturing. This isnt about america or the west stepping up to the plate, america doesn't have slavery and will never reach the output of china.
Its simply "Invest in the ccp today, lose your rights tomorrow." Its like how we opt to buy from amazon today and opt to for go our consumer protection rights. People are attracted by the bottom line, however, before china came into the picture, it was about workers rights and product quality.
The world has been brocken by foreign manufacturing. Its easy for an American to import goods and make money. However if you follow that money, he spends it on more product from china resulting in better Chinese manufacturing, and he spends it on property in the US/ the west, resulting in property becoming over priced for the average person, and this is happening whilst jobs move abroad.
Unless people see and accept china isn't playing fair, either through ip theft or through stolen labour. china will continue to have the cheapest products and dominate the global markets.
This is a failing of our governments, and enabled by the banks. They was correct about chinas protential but morally, they should never have worked with the ccp. China wouldn't have happened at the speed and scale if the banks didn't invest, chasing that maximum return. it was a double edged sword, for the companies who stayed in America they couldn't compete and went bust.
Our European Union whos whole premise should be workers rights and product safety and quality, have signed a deal with the ccp allowing them access to Europes markets. This just demonstrates how fragmented the west has become. how our leaders have lost sight of whats really at play and how our individual moves effect each other. Its like we're playing chess and all the countries in the west are sharing one set of pieces whilst china makes calculated move after move.
Uncoupling from china will be hard, however its a nessesity for global peace. The USD is an invention of peace and to facilitate its destruction in favor of a decentralised currency like bitcoin will set the world back to the dark ages.
Time and space only exists for the animals. We are human beings and we can transcend beyond. Dont condem the world to the hand of the ccp because of cost.

The black guy’s experience in the elevator also happened to me in the US.

Same here in California

@@zhenyucai8688
Many Chinese people in China are insensitive about racial issues. Not every Chinese person there has interacted with foreigners. They really are not exposed to this topic as much. Their wordings and actions could have be more careful.
I knew the whole thing about Africans in China started with a male student who returned from his home country back to Guangzhou, at the check point for covid, nurse asked him to cooperate with covid tests, he refused and actually beat up the female nurse, and that video started a lot rage on the internet.
@Dee Lee
I have never lived in any other Asian countries so I am not exactly qualified to conclude Asians as a whole.
I grew up in a small town of China, I had probably seen one foreigner every few years in my town, so I had seen people asking lots of questions or even asked for pictures of them. I must admit that I was also pretty ignorant on other races.
After I moved to the US, I lived in small town with white predominated demographic for a while, same thing happened. They were many wonderful people there, but they have limited exposures to Asians or other races, and I was the person who got lots of questions from them, about China about Asian people.
Then I moved to a large city in the US, situation changed immediately. No one pays any attention when I walk around (which is great) no one looks at me as weird. It’s a very racial mixed big city, so many people have friends from difference racial groups, so I strongly believe that has made people and communities more tolerable with each other. This also including myself. After I got exposed to and made friends with different racial background people, I no longer have those stereotypes about them, at the end we are just all human and we share so much similarities.
Having more exposure will bring more engagements, more conversations, and more friendships and more understandings and eventually more respects.
That’s why I believe that ignorance made people more racist.
What is great about Americans overseas is they can see their own country objectively as an outsider. That's an education unto itself. So refreshing. Great Video because the presenter asks the questions and gets the answers directly and makes NO comment herself. Thank you. That alone is refreshing. We need more of these sort of reports.
This is why people need to travel more, know other countries and not just their imaginations and propaganda they are made to believe. Some never even leave the rural county they were born in for their entire lives wtf
Opposite of that, too many Americans have never been outside country, and most of them just believe media blindly. Which is very sad.
As an American who has lived outside of the us I agree. It’s very important to hear and understand other points of views
Not surprised this report reflects only people that speak negatively about America and of course you have Trump bashers. They haven’t had to live with the puppetry of Biden.

Probably not. She said she worked for large corporations so the private sector was probably her thing and going into science after that hardly ever happens.
@WANG SILANG Year_15 'Older' suggests that they are just older than the person saying 'older'. 'Elder' suggests 'elderly', which assumes 65/70+yrs old. So i would say 'elder' is rude.

You only see, what they want you to see. You do know, that all China info, goes through the ministry of truth. Of course there are happy people. But when there is a knifing, around the corner, it isn’t in the local news.
The houses have cage like bars around the windows, everything is locked. “Because of no crime”.
Yes I’ve been there.
I lived in China for 9 year's and every second of it felt like a dream , living in china as a foreigner felt like a drug I honestly loved living there so much it took a world wide pandemic to get me out and allow me to see that I've never had a chance for an actual future there so after the borders were opened again I decided not to go back , I started my own company and its doing well , but still not gonna lie I love china and I miss it every single day
To everyone keeps talking about Uyghur. News made up by Australian ASPI and BBC. See the China Daily for clarification info. The video also explain the things below. If u want to talk about that picture of a Xinjiang woman saying goodbye to her child, that was posted by her on Tiktok, when she was doing medical work during pandemic and not able to accompany her child. It was twisted by BBC or sb on Twitter. they imply that China is doing so, and use every picture of facilities with walls on the google map to verify their conclusion, (but these turned out to be kindergartens, schools and working facilities)
@@gloriataro3509 no actually I spoke with Xinjiang people myself and they were always so terrified to speak about the crime's commited against them I've heard horror stories about how the dogs of the CCP treat People there , you even took away their passports so they are not even allowed to run away from your crimes the CCP is a criminal organisation and every one who supports it is no different
Can you elaborate?
@@gloriataro3509 it's funny that you look into Chinese news media for "clarification info". It's not just Australian news or BBC that talks about what's happening to Uyghurs in Xinjiang, but UN is also talking about it. Chinese government is clearly censoring the information. That is the clarification info you can find, if you can actually find.
@@AntonioJay1204 it all depends on their wording. genocide? no. re-education camp? the government has admitted it
Great perspectives. It is simply refreshing to hear the interviewees' angles. Isn't it nice to see people who give neutral and intelligent comments.
People's lives and livelihood matter.
'what did you face when you first came to china?'
everyone else: 'learning the language and fitting in'
the girl with white hair:' finding hair products :p'
Haha! I can relate. I can't find hair products to help my hair when I'm abroad.
Because she seamlessly fits right in man.
Maslow's hierarchy of needs...
@@braveheart2902 ? she's not changing herself. she's talking about natural hair products, "homeboy".
@@braveheart2902 i don't think she means that she wants to change her hair or something like that. I think she actually means she needs hair products to keep her hair healthy. She may have a curlier hair type that can't be supported by the hair products in China
Because Shanghai is such an amazing place where people actually who have been here would say :D
但是夏天太热了！

说上海热那是因为你还没来过广州🤣
对的，夏天可去云南住，冬天不冷，夏天不热。
This is my first time to seeing how well spoken Americans are or else half of the Americans don't even know what they are saying.
M K these are educated Americans who traveled and experienced other cultures. Quanon guy in Alabama most likely never traveled outside the USA.
@Jeremy S no
these are rich, educated people who can afford to live in another country. they are more privileged than a lot of americans. most (if not all) people in this video are college graduates. a lot of america cannot afford to go to college. ignorance is free, truth has a price tag and it's expensive.
@@canavero4288 agree on the first half. Also disagree on the second half. Low income America went to college through fasa and community college and transfer to state college. I did that when I first came here. Also college graduates don’t always mean they are articulate. I find a guy who has experience in plumbing better to talk to about some stuff than an engineer guy.
Because most well educated americans are already leaving the US.
Such a well-rounded group of well-spoken people. Great video.
The lady's remark at 17:00 mark is spot on. You need to stop hate groups from forming before it gets out of hand especially on mainstream social media outlets where millions of people can get exposure to.
Billions in chinese case. That’s why censorship was important in china and developing countries. Imagine a billion poor uneducated people without censorship back in the 80s. You can’t make everyone happy.
That's what the Chinese government is actively trying to do by banning FB. Watch Nathan Rich video on that he talks about the truth
That’s the reason why China don’t trust the western media platform where always release hate and they won’t obey / China laws .
The problem is in the west the hate groups are usually the ones that want to put their own one-sided censorship into law that's how it has traditionally been anyways, different circumstances
@A.A. Sommerkamp-Homann I am Chinese. I totally agree with you that freedom of speech in social media to end a chaos is wrong. And I also don’t have much idea about why the gov set censorship and firewall. But I can share with you some of my observations and random guess. For the censorship, we can easily avoid it by adding spaces or slash between characters, unless someone reports you. But if most of the people agree with your opinion, it could go virally on social media with no one can control. Most of The chaos roots in deep and incompatible social conflicts no matter the systems. Maybe censorship could be a good way to stay alarm to potential chaos but at the end of day unity and being at the same page are the only answers. Besides, it seems to me that the censorship in China makes people care less about politics but more about how to live a better life. People discuss more ethical issues like feminism, sexual harassment, surrogacy than political issues. For the firewall, i can easily get out like what I am doing now using a vpn. A lot of Chinese are reuploading interesting videos and it’s comments from UA-cam to our local social media. However, thanks to the wall, there are few videos or tweets about the anti China sensations and it reduce the nationalist sentiment against America and other western countries. Most ppl are humble to learn the advance technology from the westerns while loving their own country. Though Americans generally don’t like China, most of the Chinese look up to the US and have a strong wish to make their country become as strong as the US instead of anti. I don’t make conclusions about the rightness, it’s just my observations. Feel free to comment.
China is a peaceful ,safe and
friendly country.We Chinese welcome people around the world to vistie modern China.
….Unless you happen to be Uyghur Muslim, of course. This persecution and Tianamen Square are conveniently overlooked
interviewer: are Americans in china laughing at the US?
them: obviously not, EVERYONE is laughing at the US
hahaha
he's so right HAHAHAHAHA
it's great you can laugh at your own country without going to prison if your in china do that :D
thats just the fact
@Slakers Hundreds of Uighurs in camps in China as well.
"Is his hair real?" Omg taxi drivers asking the real questions 💀
To be fair, teh cab driver wasn't the first.
i want a more in depth interview with the lady who's lived there for 30+ yrs. looks like she has an interesting story
She witnessed the change of China. I want to know her story and opinion too.
I’m in the UK but China looks beautiful & certainly more advanced in terms of welfare, healthcare, education etc. The guy who mentioned “American Exceptionalism” seemed absolutely spot on. Great video. Thanks!
Trying to teach other countries how to govern and what is the word "Democracy", When our country is totally destroyed. And I agree that too much Freedom is not good.
Freddeie Mercury said :

Okay sheep
freedom is good, but it should be in a relative grade.
@@ayi3455 The 'urban legend' of opposites that attract each other, when it comes to couples, is not always true.
@@banq2878 Democracy could be said Freedom of expression but as far as we can cross that line. What are our rights and to what extent the governments and their people have good communication, or to what extent the citizen knows his or her rights.
I've been living in China for 2 years. I'm from America and I've never felt safer. I don't know if I want to go back to America, especially with everything happening. China really is a great place to live.
I think China and US are both great in different aspects. I lived in US for 5 years and I really miss my life in California, LA in particular. I like its weather and I never feel that chilling in my life.
Well dang I wanna go to China now😂 also the people in the video were taking about a VPN? What is that?
@@Tino17LOONA China blocked many foreign websites like facebook google and yutube. So you need to download a VPN(cellphone app) before go to China to get access to whatever websites you want.
i think foreigners feel more safe cuz Americans are more "outspoken" then Chinese people. Most Chinese people are taught to keep unnecessary comments to themselves. if they dont bother you or cause you harm then just let them be, no need for a conflict. thats the way i was raised
@@Tino17LOONA VPN basically transfers your IP signal to another location. so like in china if you use a VPN you can access American Websites.
I came to China because holidays and I decided to quite my job in USA and move here. The best I did in my life
Jesus de done eres?
What do u do for a living
quit your job (not quite :)
Jesus Martin, have you changed your nationality to Chinese yet? You should. Then you will have to obey whatever Xi Jin Ping says.
Following your heart❤️
Great clip and very nice to hear what Americans think of China and the U.S.
I lived in China for 20 years. Best time of my life. Can't wait to go back.
This needs to be seen by more intelligent open minded Americans. You can't save those close minded, they listen what they like to listen, not truth.
Actually a lot of Chinese are also close minded....I could just say that there are all kinds of people in all the countries, especially big countries.
@@jayzeelee4810 very true, although I'm not sure about how many closed-minded people in China.
The interviewer needs to interview intelligent Americans.
Closed minded people are everywhere dude. But with population ratio there is more closed mind people in China.
okay +1 did. The people who speak truth and show light get killed there is a reason for it.
"Losing my American Exceptionalism" LOL. You mean waking up from the American dream.
Care to elaborate on your condescending tone?
Yeah I didnt even know wtf he meant.
@@jordandavis6709 i've seen several versions of this comment. they're obviously trolls and don't even understand what the american dream is.
also several of the 'no white privilege over here' comments. lol bunch of 5 cent army guys in the comments as there always are on any video about china.
People in China does observe too much foreigner privilege and request against it. At the same time, this observation means such privilege is fainting away
@@ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh123 Around the world there is a perception that the USA sees itself as exceptional, that Americans feel the USA is the "only" country in the world (which is rather expected, everyone's home country is THE country and everywhere else is "other" countries) and that when they go abroad they behave and speak as if they thought the USA is the "guiding light" for the globe, in other words give off a sense of superiority. I'm guessing this is what the man in the video referred to. This is obviously not true for every American, as usual with every stereotype, but in the other hand some Americans, like him, admit that their perception of the rest of the world doesn't go far and actually going outside of the USA forces them to re-evaluate their country's perceived position.
“I am the visitor, I am the one who has to change”. I wish immigrants in the west had the same mindset
@@ard4197 so all immigrants in the west are refugees? Wrong! Moreover, of course you can.
well this stupid talking point hast to have some boundaries to it.
if we’re talking about countries such as America and Canada as the west, then I guess it’s supposed to be the majority which is Anglo-Saxons and other Europeans conforming to native American lifestyle which we all know they decided to annihilate. to which then the next imposed their western European lifestyle on people they bought and stole from Africa, and now bar Southern Americans from entering. your whole point is just wrong.
@@a.h.i267 yeah. Expect I am not from Western Europe. We neves had colonies, yet we have trouble makers in the country. So your whole point is just wrong.
@@Elhungarorey excuse you, and what makes you think we don't? Also, very rude.
This is such a great interview! The expats gave honest and thoughtful answers, and having lived in China for three years in the past, I agree that their comments on China are pretty much true. My take on why the Chinese media has not publicized the U.S. Capitol riot is that the Chinese government does not believe in playing the negative media campaign game. Truth be told, China has a lot of vested interest in the U.S.; it serves them no good to see U.S. down. It's like why would you laugh at your customers when your customers are in trouble?
So true. China and the US are intertwined with each so deeply and in so many ways. There's a Chinese saying: 唇亡齿寒 (If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold). Either one is down, the other one will definitely suffer a lot. And also why the Chinese are helping other countries to build infrastructure is because we believe if you grow, we can grow too, then we'll all have a better life. We all deserve better lives.
Yes, indeed. China is still holding about USD1 trillion US Treasuries.
Most of people are not interested in politics and what happens in United States is far far from us.
No, Chinese media did report the US Capitol riot on CCTV news time. China reports riots happening in all countries. We just think that is just something often happening between two parties outside of China, such as Taiwan, S. Korea and Japan. So, not bery surprised.
@@eastwesttalkshow6129 Yes, China did publicize the U.S. Capitol Insurrection and riots. What's terrible is that many Chinese media companies and influential people compared the U.S. Capitol riots to the protests in Hong Kong denouncing both situations as examples of extremism that must be stopped. The people in Hong Kong fought to be free and have their own government that is not influenced by the CCP, which violated Hong Kong's contract that it will remain free until 2050. They are not comparable to the U.S. Capitol rioters.
i remember going to china for the first time back when i was 9 to visit my family. america and americans live behind the idea of being the greatest country in the world, i was definitely subconsciously thinking like that, and judging before feeling and taking it all in but in many aspects, china is definitely a country we should learn from. really each country has something to offer, and i guess the lesson is to remember to always be open minded.
So the answer is basically having a better lifestyle
yup, seems like that to me.
Pretty sure that's the reason anyone immigrates. That or family or dream
Yes really good interviews. They have a better life in China. Good to hear they don't trash America.
Better welfare for the average Joe and above all, safety.
Now wstern media even c an't hide the t r uth that China is more developed and the govrnment also has strong p0litical commitment to advance its nation to the right track.
You all should be angry to learn about the movie called "Voices From the Frontline: China's War on P0verty" has been taken down by the U.S govt. The movie was actually created by R.L. Kuhn Foundation collaborates with KCET and PBS SoCal. CGTN was only associate in supporting the movie recording inside the country.
PBS cancelled the airing program and taken down the streaming without any further info.
When the PBS SoCal's executive director being interviewed about his view, he just said "The PBS (parent company) said the documentary doesn't meet our editorial".
Such action from the U.S to hide the t r uth for the world that China's p0Iitic system is more effective than wstern d3m0cracy.
Such a great interview!👍
The father who wants to bring his son to America but mentioned health insurance being a barrier to that is so sad. The fact that Americans pay for healthcare still absolutely baffles me
Simply, Capitalism and govt can't pay such high prices so, it's just how it is and even just a broken leg could cost a little over 6k so, insurance is a necessity here.
Yeah, I'm a teenager but up until the past couple of years I had never thought about it that way. All the health insurance, medicaid, medicare, blue cross/blue sheild, aetna etc. ads being shoved down my throat (and I'm a minor) like of course everyone wants security for their health, but having to pay for it and the bills and so on... I started to realize how "foreign" the concept really is. My grandmother lives in Canada, but her doctor is in New York ( a democratic state, and yes, healthcare issues get split by political parties at times, which is utterly ridiculous). She would be getting the care she needs in the state that I live in, but there's some law or regulation that makes it harder or cost more money (I don't know the exact situation, just that my state is VERY republican). Health insurance, and I guess insurance in general (?) is huge here, big business.
Correction. All healthcare is paid for be it by taxes or some form of insurance or both. What baffles a lot of people is the exorbitant cost of healthcare in the US and the acceptance of it as a necessity.
@@jinngeechia9715 As an American, I promise you that most of us cannot afford healthcare. Only the privileged don't have to worry about the cost of healthcare in this country.
The reason why we don't have universal healthcare in this country is simply corporate greed.

Just curious, do the chinese government not care about VPN?
@@Justfeb01 Nope. You can find lots of stories on Quora about people going to hotels in China and them already having VPNs or cops not even caring about a VPN (I’ve even read stories of a cop complaining the police station’s VPN is slower than his at home and a cop asking a citizen where they downloaded their VPN so they can use it too). I think what you can “get in trouble” for in regards to a VPN is making and selling one by yourself-or at least that’s what I’ve read from other people. :P
I really enjoyed this video. Bandana man, quoting the Beatles, and everything. It was just really nice to hear from such open-minded people.

@@zebraimage He said, "Come together, right now", which lines up with the lyrics from the Beatles song " Come Together "... I'm not sure if he meant to quote them, but yeah 😂
The older lady with sunglasses has a great attitude. It is important to understand not just the direct translation of the language, but also the culture/customs which gives you the deeper meaning behind the language. It is very difficult at first if you haven’t studied before coming to China, but eventually you improve and become fluent over time. I had so many misunderstandings and some funny embarrassing situations trying to speak Chinese but eventually I could speak a lot better in just over a year than some other foreigners who had lived in China for decades. It’s important to live and socialise with Chinese people rather than just other foreigners.
It actually was all over the internet but the general reaction was kinda like "Oh wow!.... anyways..." and they go back to what they were doing,
Yes, it was a hot topic on Weibo Zhihu DouBan Wechat... , so I don't know why the host thinks most Chinese don't know? And I know most Chinese was like: Trump again? So sick of him lately. Next celebrity please... LOL
