Both my wife and I lived in China for 11 years and we loved it for all the same reasons you enunciated. We’ve been back for five years and still miss it as well as all our Chinese friends. Fantastic place to be. For ourselves we preferred Shanghai to Beijing both both are great cities.
Totally agree with you but I preferred Beijing lol. I lived in China for 15 years and loved every minute of it. I hope to visit again as soon as China opens up after this pandemic is over. I read on another vlog that you can walk on the sidewalks in some US cities carrying a gun, but you can't have an open container of beer! How nuts in that when I think of the innumerable time I walked around Beijing enjoying a cold one without any fear for my safety!
I have been living in China, Europe and Australia each for decades. And I will say that the happiest and most passionate ppl I have everyday seen are those who live in China. It’s might be hard to believe if u r from another countries, but I reckon u will see why I mean if you have really been there. I love many places I have been and I won’t anger if u don’t like China. I will only feel pitiful if someone misses out the opportunity to visit such a magic country only due to some social media voices.
I only spent 6 weeks in China, but even I experienced a lot of these points for myself. We met so many helpful Chinese people when we were lost or unsure about certain situations. Totally agree about the safety and they definitely have an app for everything! I had no idea you can get so many services straight to your house though. Interesting to hear about the cost of living. Oh man, the food. So good!
Being able to get all of those services to my house is kind of crazy, I'd say. I've only used it for facials and a manicure once. I'd like to get out of the house too for those things.

From what I watched about China here on You Tube, I am growing to love it more and more. I have always been unsure about how American media portrays different countries, so I would rather hear from the people themselves that live there. 😀
Can't wait for that day either! I can't imagine not being able to go back to the place where you live and work. Hope the day you can come back will come soon.
@@GoYvon not with your current dumb trump, he is destroying your country and Australian relations with China because our dumb leader followed your dumb leader we can not go back to China because of America. But I am married to a Chinese so I am going back in a few months, probably never to return to Australia as I love my wife and China so much, much more freedom , money and food, in China I lead a rich mans life here I am poor.
As a Hong Kong citizen, I love Mainland very much, and as you said, safe, friendly people, with nice food and different landscape, really miss the place and my friends over there... I just really sick with those unfair media angles about China.
The tricky thing is there are many biased media against mainland china in HK and beijing gov can tolerate HK as the paradise of spies for so many years.
As a Hong Kong born and raise Chinese, Most of my HK friends only listens to corrupted media. They don't even renew their own travel card to China. They are simply too closed minded.
i’m a chinese/hong kong canadian studying in the states (lol iNtErNaTiOnAl) and trying to decide whether to move back to the mainland after law school! everything’s amazing there except for the horrible work hours
@Emi I was verbally abused by an old HK lady when I studied in Australia. What she said sounded very racist although we are asian if not Chinese. My HK landlord simply did not want to have anything to do with me expect for collecting the rent monthly. I can't say all HK people are rude to mainlanders because I did meet some nice guys who were willing to help at any time. To my big suprise, Taiwanese people turned out to be very compatible with mainland Chinese. HK people should abserve and approach people without involving politics and stereotypes. I am trying not to generize people wherever I go. We need people like you.
@@xodousent apparently you are one of those who has never been to China. Go see the World my friend because I’m sure it will be an eye opening experience
We Chinese are puzzling about why our leaders love to send their relatives to live in the West especially USA？Maybe they just want to librate you from the hell😂😂😂
I am second generation Australian chinese, when I was young I thought china was a evil county to live in. The news, all the Media telling me people in China are living in hell. My father then said why do you find yourself the answers, oneday when you are ready? So during past ten years I visited China as much as I could, I am so falling love with China. People are so kind even I am a banana. There's so many conflicts based on our news, real chinese are so happy, they been living on higher standard than our OZ does They teach me from the scratch. So many wonderful memories and experiences. Especially during the COVID-19 outbreak, Chinese people believe all the humans' live are matters. I did receive loads of helps from local communities, now I am finally back to Australia, but I felt safer when I was in China, I don't know why, can't explain it. I will be definitely go back to China after settling my parents' businesses.
People are so kind even I am a banana😂👍 But when you go back to Australia, people don't care if you're a banana or not, you look like Chinese, some hatred will come at you😡
How can you be a second-generation Australian, but not a native speaker of English? From your syntax, you are obviously not a native speaker. (Ex: "Why don't you. . . " "lives are matters (n)," vs. "lives matter (v)" "even I am," instead of "even though I am." I wholeheartedly agree with the point the video makes that Chinese people are kind and friendly; this has been my experience both in China and in the U.S. No matter what someone's political beliefs are, I think they'd have similar experiences interacting with Chinese. I just don't understand why the internet is full of Chinese posters who jump to defend China by writing as overseas 2nd gen Chinese or foreigners, when they clearly aren't. There just isn't any need to be anything less than genuine to defend such an easy-to-agree-with topic like this. (I'd never criticize a non-native speaker for some small syntax issues like these. I just mention them as tell-tale signs that someone was not born and raised in Australia.)
My 10 reasons I love China - My Wife - Safe place at day and night - Living costs are low - Sunday shopping day - Friendly people - Low income tax - 4 hour complete Bodycheck - You can safe more money - Huge country to travel the whole northern hemisphere - Easy and cheap public traffic system Edit: 11, the northern and Xinjiang Barbecue :-)
@@deemah4219 but since this year September at least in our province only after 5 years ownership after buying and receiving the certificate for 10000 CNY. Before it was 2 years.
My reasons 1) my kid and my wife can go out at midnight..any street any place.. very safe 2) people.. no bullies, no gangsters, no robbers, no guns, no racists, no drugs,
I have been to China. I have met a few rude people, but that is expected no matter where you go. There are bullies in China, I've seen a couple (also helps that I can speak the language). I did not experience any robberies, but I was pick pocketed, so there is crime. Racists: Well, there are prejudices, especially to those who do not speak Mandarin (I speak Cantonese primarily, but am able to speak Mandarin). If a person does not speak Mandarin, but speak another dialect, to some, you are not considered "real" Chinese. One of my Chinese friends had told me that Mandarin from Taiwan is not real Chinese. They don't speak real Chinese. Go figure. As for drugs, it depends on where you are. Jackie Chan's son was charged for drug possession. You have to know where to look. As a whole, most of the people are good. I found it wasn't as bad at night, but I still was on the cautious side. It was probably due to being brought up to be aware of my surroundings because anything can happen in an instant.
As a Chinese who has lived in a country other than China for a long time, I have been tired to see the cruel misunderstanding of China in the Western media every day. I don't even want to explain it to anyone now. Enjoy your life in China, I am actually quite jealous.
Cuba once was treated like this before as well, the main reason is because Cuba is not following US government policy. What a lame. Sorry. The victims are definitely innocent people who knows nothing about US government scheme and many were brainwashed until they went to Cuba themselves, then they realize it is not like the US media says about Cuba. Now China.
Same. I'm a Brit who moved to Hong Kong and have been travelling and working in China. Makes you realise there are alot of false narratives being drummed into people back in the UK, especially since the UK tried to strike stronger ties with the US.
@@tomjwjss lot better than they make out....if you believed everything that western media tells you ....then you would think that China is like a Stalinist totalitarian dystopia with secret police everywhere ready to arrest you for even the slightest insult to China and that you are followed and spied on everywhere you go and the Chinese people have no say in everything .... Fortunately the truth is more nuanced , if you go to China to create mayhem , start an insurrection against the government and create riots and general disorder or rumour monger then yes the Chinese government will drop on you very hard , if your intention is to sight see , enjoy Chinese rich culture , live a decent ordinary life then the Chinese government will not even bother you they have better things to do than bother ordinary people like making sure the country runs smoothly for the majority....
so not surprised! the british empire has done so much harm to china and the rest of the world (and is now acting through the us neo cons)... because of the language barrier and the propaganda so many people are totally confused and don't see that the bogeyman is our own govts here in the west. i pray for peace and understanding and justice as well!
China looks like a fascinating country. I agree that people are such an important part of our experience in places. Sounds much more convenient than my house. I'm so in the middle of nowhere that not a single restaurant does Deliveroo (or similar service) to my door. I have to go out and collect takeaways! I can't get past how diverse the Chinese landscape is. No way do I think of grasslands in China. It really does have a lot to offer. I think Chinese food looks amazing. I am absolutely dying to try traditional Chinese food.
It is a fascinating country, on so many levels. That doesn't sound too fun, having to go out and get takeaway. That takes away of the convenience. But on the other hand, it must be nice too to live somewhere rural and quiet? Chinese food is delicious! There's so much! It wasn't easy to select only 10 things for my list, haha.
I’ve lived there and didn’t want to go back home actually as its laid back there and it is a good place generally speaking but it is very polluted and overcrowded. Standards of living are relatively low. People there are very nice and non americanised. Put it this way, cars get right of way there, not pedestrians. Beware of that one.
Top 2 pros of China are convenient and safety. When I went to China, I realized it was unhealthy to have to worried about safety issues in the States at night. In China, I didn't need to stay alert and it was so common for people to hangout at night in parks. There were many activities going on at night apart from drinking and parties. Online shopping could be delivered the same day. No extra membership fee like Amazon Prime, which still takes 2-3 days to deliver in most cities. And the delivery fees for restaurants are nothing in China, compared to a fixed fee plus 15% tips. Of course I'm willing to pay more to delivery guys.
I love China, I have there twice already beautiful and safest country in the world people are very happy, friendly, polite and healthy, when I was there I took a walk at the park very clean no drugs, no needles, no tents and no homeless people, that's why when I'm retire I will move to Guangzhou China with my Chinese wife and die there peacefully and happy thanks for the video cheers and hulaluia
China is peaceful and much much less stress and all with good values. Way to go for happiness and harmony. No racists in China. Until you stay in China yourself and start a living there your comments will be acceptable unlike some who just pick up unreasonable comments just to sow hatred.
I lived in China in 1994 in Nanning, Guangxi while I attended 西 大。 I miss living there, but I 've been back a few times. Great video and you have the same experiences at I did. Well Done! 太好了。
I’m so glad with your words. I was born and grew up in Nanning. In 1994, I was a high school student in Nanning. We got an English teacher from England. But so embarrassed that I could barely speak English at that time. It’s just too hard to learn a foreign language :-)

Of course, Chinese people are wonderful. But criticisms are not about Chinese individuals. Don’t be naive and watch your back, in China. If you are mistakenly accused of a crime, there is no trial, no enquiry. I met Chinese judges. They told me they were fed up with that job. Fed up of giving death sentences.
@@流浪漢パリ Have several Chinese friends working as criminal lawyers, one of my best friends, her mother is the judge at High People’s Court.

And after the sentence, if the suspect wants to appeal or during pregnancy, he or she can always appeal to High People’s Court or Supreme People’s Court...
I loved China when I went for 3 weeks tour of the country. Then I said I wanted to return. I still do. I even thought about living there but it is too late for me - I am an old age pensioner on my own, lost my husband. If he is here with me that will be our dream place to live. I particularly like the exercises and dancing in the parks! I even joined them. And they loved it. Yes, very friendly people. Lots of interesting and lovely places to visit, not to forget the food. I shall think about another holiday to China after this virus. Thank you for your video, brings back memories.
Hi Wendy, Thank you so much for your comment. I'm sorry to hear you won't be able to make (one of) your dream(s) come true. The dancing in the park is amazing! I love it too.
You are wonderful! Thank you for sharing your videos & optimism. I agree China is beautiful & awesome. Visiting in 2017 & 2020, I cannot get enough of the culture, country & people. So much beauty, history & ... Wishing you continuous success & blessings.
Thanks Yvonne...this was refreshing. I have been so dissatisfied with the way China has been ganged up on by blame-seekers over the Covid situation. I am way more empathetic to China now than before the pandemic.
You are absolutely right. I've lived in China and I fully agree with you in all the reasons you mention but for me people is number one and safety number two. Congrats for your excellent video.
@@gaming4ever925 you need to go to China to understand the government will jail you or disappear you if you offend the CCP. Ask Peng Shui what happens when you speak out. Ask the 2 Michaels jailed as bait to trade for the Huawei executive. China is an evil place to be and why anyone would find it a tourist destination is laughable.
That is really good you have met nice people who will help you out. I love Chinese food! Now I regret not getting any this evening. That is awesome you have been learning the Chinese language. Its always better to learn a new language in an area where it is widely spoken. Your rent is definitely cheap!
I have 100 reasons to love China. I love the foods, the culture, the heritage buildings, the development, the peace, the people and the Government - they are superb.
Yes, China is huge and if you were to visit every part of it, it will take you many years. I love the fact that if you live in China, you can take their trains and travel across the country relatively easily. Their public transportation is good and that helps a lot with traveling within the country.
I’m not Chinese but I love China too. It’s like a hidden gem that I want to just to keep it to myself. But I know it’s kinda selfish so I’m glad you share it on UA-cam here
@@shuangliang9800 I think what she's trying to say is that a lot of foreigners have not discovered how nice China is yet so it's hidden. All people sees and hears about is the bad and negative things about China from their media.
I’m a Singaporean/Malaysian Chinese who used to live in Shanghai (I live in London now). Thanks for this video, it brings back a lot of good memories and now I’m missing my life in Shanghai 😂
China is a country who values educators the most, my friend who teaches in the US gets paid more in China which includes housing, car and food expenses which helped her buy a house in Los Angeles, she was able to rent out her house and collect rent as well. What a great deal
Oh, you didn't speak any Chinese at all before you went to China?! Wow, I didn't think that - so well done. I'm sure that was very helpful (probably necessary) for making the most of life and travelling in China. Can't wait to see the food episode 😋 I'm curious to see what kind of food they use a clothes iron to cook 😂
No, not a word. I didn't even really know anything about the country. It has definitely helped me a lot now I speak the language. Mostly at work; it's easier to communicate with coworkers and parents. Which helps to build relationships.
You didn't even need to be able to speak as everything is so self explanatory and most of things you can get with English. Last resort is the translator but it's beneficial to be able to talk to the locals.
I did not speak much English either before I came to the US and went straight to high school. Sat in the classroom felt like an idiot for a whole year. Then just like that, all the sudden I could understand everything in the beginning of the second school year. Watching a lot of TV helped lol.
I love China too when I visited five years ago. I love this video and it’s definitely much welcomed during this time especially when I can’t travel in person. I felt like I travelled through your experience. Thanks very much
Just the fantastic video about living in China I was always wondering if I could ever visit China one day I just love the coach of the music the food whenever I visit a big city the first thing I go is to Chinatown and pick up some souvenirs meet some interesting people I just love everything about them
China is one of best places to live in the world. Standard of living is high. Culture and food is very diversified. It is a country full of energy, curiosity and creativity. People are full of joy and kindness. China will get better and better in the future.
Hi, GoYvon, Great video. I think, It's important to know the reasons why people live in where they are living. Thanks for sharing. We visited China couple times and we would love to go again! so many things to see! We also just visited Rotterdam a month ago, will make that to a video as well later, surprise to see that in your video about China. :)
There's another reason that people often take for granted and can't see it through without some serious brainstorming: Hope. Hope makes living in China much much more attractive. See, we humans live on hope, which makes life so much easier and frankly so much happier as a result. Since China is one of the very few, if not the only, major countries that advance in leaps and bounds, most people living in China have hopes , realisticly believing that tomorrow will be even better than today. In the streets you constantly witness that hope by the sheer energy and speed of the society advancement, BIG smiles (literally) in in so many faces, and optimistic spirits from all walks of life 24X7, every day, and every year... This is not so in many other countries, even in Europe, where uncertainty about tomorrow or the day after tomorrow is almost always in the air for many people. This makes life more dulling, more tendency towards violence, and sometimes less bearable.
If you can't provide your fellow men/women real hope, give them fake hope. 1967 When the US was loosing VN war, 4-star gen. William Westmoreland: "We can see the light at the tunnel now". Few months later, when the US embassy in Saigon was infiltrated & under brutal attack, Walter Cronkite: "We were told that we've won the war" on CBS News. Early April, Covid 19 blew up in USA, Trump tweeted again: Light at the end of the tunnel. then US recorded 3,331 deaths and 81,740 cases when Trump light shinned at the tunnel. Now 10th Sept, the total death was 191,000 & 6.38 Million total case Is the light still shinning at the end of the tunnel.
I really like your list! I have lived in Beijing for almost 3 years and I am I glad I picked it over Shanghai and Hong Kong. The convenience is definitely something unique, especially since that convenience does not come at a cost, like in the west. And I love the public bikes! Cost of living in Beijing is much lower than you'd expect from a major city, which makes paying that higher rent a bit of a shock. From what I've seen, the rents are on par with those in EU capital - Brussels, Belgium- and the quality is almost as bad. If you move outside the city, you can find amazingly cheap apartments that are sparkling and brand new, but then you are subjected to a time-draining daily commute to work in the city. Food, culture, language, and travel are my top 4 reasons, so we practically agree there. Great list, Yvon. Keep up the great work!
Safe is a very relative term, covering many things. Food safety and hygiene, China can be unsafe. Honest prices from vendors, China is unsafe with the unsuspecting being cheated often. On the road, China is unsafe. Reckless driving, unqualified and uninsured drivers are common. Ever heard of children being snatched and disappearing in China? Parents are nervous to let kids out of their sight for this reason. Ever read the stories about weird mental dudes attacking kids with knives in kindergartens? Buying things and shopping online for branded products is unsafe with fake and counterfeit products everywhere. Protection with law and legal issues? Wildly unpredictable and so unsafe. Health issues ranging from respiratory illness to silly things like sunburn during scorching hot summers, China is again unsafe. Pickpockets in busy streets, wandering hands swiping things in Internet cafes, yep ... common in unsafe China. However, if you are a foreigner who walks around drunk at 1am frequently, you will encounter less aggressive drunks and street crime than at home. But on all the other issues mentioned, I 100% believe my UK hometown is far safer .... based on my many years in China from 2006 to 2019 in Hainan, Yangshuo and Beijing. "China is safe" is a common and untrue sentence. Which is why Chinese buy milk powder from foreign countries, warn people to avoid street food places who reuse oil, are nervous of buses and travel during Spring Festival and panic about kids being snatched.
@@toucanmasterx Im not gonna tell you what to believe, but I invite you to atleast go to china to see it with your own eyes, that is more trust full than most of medias

We really enjoyed this episode! Such a perfect summary of reasons to love China. I (Marion) really miss China, and I would definitely like to live there again. We have been thinking about teaching English to little kids (really basic English) in China, but the problem is that we are not native and we don't have any teaching experience. As I understand you need to be native or have bachelor degree, right? Watching your video make me miss the hutongs, the people, and of course the food. I can't remember the shared bike system from when I was there butt it seems great! What is the place called at 3:47?
Thanks guys! If you're missing China you're at the right spot, cause the next 8 videos will all be China-related. Yes, rules got a lot stricter in recent years. It isn't easy to work here as a non-native speaker.
I love China. I visited China for business three times and would love to live there for 3 months to learn the culture, language and travel. Love your channel too.
When I was an expat vs. now. One thing I love the most, not having the conceal carry on my way to work ready to fire at anyone that try to mug me. Yes, you must be ready to defend your life no matter where you live and what your social status is. In china... probably the safest place I have ever been. I think that's a basic human right, to feel safe.
nice video, when I watched to No. 5, I then have a strong feeling the food could be the No. 1 reason... I watched lots travel UA-camr transformed to food UA-camr eventually in China...
Love ur channel Yvon....learning n enjoying a lot. Am an overseas Chinese in d Phils. Haven't travelled much in China because of short stays only. Enjoy ur life there. 😉😉
Excellent video. While I've just awakened to today's China, I have been doing so much research. "Consider the source" Such an honest viewpoint from the ground is a real treat. I have been observing China as a protagonist all my 72 years. I suppose it were old black and whites of them building a great canal by hand. Such good hard working people, and many positive great projects, everywhere. And a leadership working for the country as a whole. There must be a Chinese saying about working with water. I'm in reverence to the people of China, big hug..
Congratulations on your decision to live in China . I'm green with envy seeing how much you enjoy your life in your adopted country . If everyone were to take notice of the constant China-bashing in the western media , then China would have been a no-go zone !
The Chinese way of life seems different, when I was there I ate in a cafeteria often and ate street food. The travel interesting but things are even more modern now. In Dalian, where I lived 2009, the city was modern but less modern than Beijing. The housing was abundant and improving. The people were helpful and less outgoing than now. Biking was difficult although was possible. The trains were slower and people were flying a lot. The beaches were crowded but the parks were easily accessed and comfortable. The sights there are unique and the experience incredible. Lots of food in the shops could be found at good prices. Your life in the city seems more distinctive than life in smaller cities. Ten years is a long to spend in the country. I spent seven months there. I know Holland., I have family there. You must like living in China to live there so long.
Thank you for showing us the good side of China! Western media is biased (though to say, China isn't doing the same), but I am happy that you showed us the good side.
Having lived in America for 30 years I really miss the freedom from fear. I go back to Beijing China several times in the past. I was born and grow up there. Because of time leg Of long flight I could not sleep first a couple of days after landed in Beijing I walk in the street late night. That feeling of freedom from fear is so fresh. Yes I lost freedom of criticizing government. But anywhere in China I go at any time I feel as safe as I do in my living room. To me it’s big deal
George Lee you lost the freedom of criticizing government? You are absolutely a liar. Chinese Americans misled China to western world too much , enough is enough, since you left already, please shut up.
"I lost freedom of criticizing government." LOL, I criticize the government with my friends on WeChat and weibo very often, nothing happened to us? Some people scold the sh*t out of the government on social media (微博、知乎、头条、等), I don't see them disappearing?

Thank you for your comment!
It's my pleasure! I like talking about China.
From what I watched about China here on You Tube, I am growing to love it more and more. I have always been unsure about how American media portrays different countries, so I would rather hear from the people themselves that live there. 😀
Waiting for the day when US citizens like myself will be allowed to go again.
Can't wait for that day either! I can't imagine not being able to go back to the place where you live and work.
Hope the day you can come back will come soon.

Hi @@manuelmendonca8482 , you are writing 'your current dumb Trump' and 'your country', have you seen my 5K Q&A or about page? I'm not from the USA.
As a Hong Kong citizen, I love Mainland very much, and as you said, safe, friendly people, with nice food and different landscape, really miss the place and my friends over there... I just really sick with those unfair media angles about China.
And strong and efficienct government
The tricky thing is there are many biased media against mainland china in HK and beijing gov can tolerate HK as the paradise of spies for so many years.
As a Hong Kong born and raise Chinese, Most of my HK friends only listens to corrupted media. They don't even renew their own travel card to China. They are simply too closed minded.
i’m a chinese/hong kong canadian studying in the states (lol iNtErNaTiOnAl) and trying to decide whether to move back to the mainland after law school! everything’s amazing there except for the horrible work hours
@Emi I was verbally abused by an old HK lady when I studied in Australia. What she said sounded very racist although we are asian if not Chinese. My HK landlord simply did not want to have anything to do with me expect for collecting the rent monthly. I can't say all HK people are rude to mainlanders because I did meet some nice guys who were willing to help at any time. To my big suprise, Taiwanese people turned out to be very compatible with mainland Chinese. HK people should abserve and approach people without involving politics and stereotypes. I am trying not to generize people wherever I go. We need people like you.

I am second generation Australian chinese, when I was young I thought china was a evil county to live in. The news, all the Media telling me people in China are living in hell. My father then said why do you find yourself the answers, oneday when you are ready? So during past ten years I visited China as much as I could, I am so falling love with China. People are so kind even I am a banana. There's so many conflicts based on our news, real chinese are so happy, they been living on higher standard than our OZ does They teach me from the scratch. So many wonderful memories and experiences. Especially during the COVID-19 outbreak, Chinese people believe all the humans' live are matters. I did receive loads of helps from local communities, now I am finally back to Australia, but I felt safer when I was in China, I don't know why, can't explain it. I will be definitely go back to China after settling my parents' businesses.
just because its ur motherland from blood
People are so kind even I am a banana😂👍
But when you go back to Australia, people don't care if you're a banana or not, you look like Chinese, some hatred will come at you😡
How can you be a second-generation Australian, but not a native speaker of English? From your syntax, you are obviously not a native speaker. (Ex: "Why don't you. . . " "lives are matters (n)," vs. "lives matter (v)" "even I am," instead of "even though I am." I wholeheartedly agree with the point the video makes that Chinese people are kind and friendly; this has been my experience both in China and in the U.S. No matter what someone's political beliefs are, I think they'd have similar experiences interacting with Chinese. I just don't understand why the internet is full of Chinese posters who jump to defend China by writing as overseas 2nd gen Chinese or foreigners, when they clearly aren't. There just isn't any need to be anything less than genuine to defend such an easy-to-agree-with topic like this. (I'd never criticize a non-native speaker for some small syntax issues like these. I just mention them as tell-tale signs that someone was not born and raised in Australia.)

- Sunday shopping day
- Friendly people
- Low income tax

- You can safe more money
- Huge country to travel the whole northern hemisphere

@@deemah4219 but since this year September at least in our province only after 5 years ownership after buying and receiving the certificate for 10000 CNY. Before it was 2 years.

1) my kid and my wife can go out at midnight..any street any place.. very safe
2) people.. no bullies, no gangsters, no robbers, no guns, no racists, no drugs,
2) is not fully true, it depend on where you live, in big city like Shanghai or some inner area. In general, the public security in China is very good
That's complete bullshit ..ever heard of the triads lol? Also chinese are very racist ...especially older crowd
@@mason1011 Have you been to China? You watch to many Hollywood movies....
@@mason1011 The triad is a legacy of the British rule of Hong Kong
I have been to China. I have met a few rude people, but that is expected no matter where you go. There are bullies in China, I've seen a couple (also helps that I can speak the language). I did not experience any robberies, but I was pick pocketed, so there is crime. Racists: Well, there are prejudices, especially to those who do not speak Mandarin (I speak Cantonese primarily, but am able to speak Mandarin). If a person does not speak Mandarin, but speak another dialect, to some, you are not considered "real" Chinese. One of my Chinese friends had told me that Mandarin from Taiwan is not real Chinese. They don't speak real Chinese. Go figure. As for drugs, it depends on where you are. Jackie Chan's son was charged for drug possession. You have to know where to look.
As a whole, most of the people are good. I found it wasn't as bad at night, but I still was on the cautious side. It was probably due to being brought up to be aware of my surroundings because anything can happen in an instant.
As a Chinese who has lived in a country other than China for a long time, I have been tired to see the cruel misunderstanding of China in the Western media every day. I don't even want to explain it to anyone now. Enjoy your life in China, I am actually quite jealous.
“I don't even want to explain it to anyone now.” about this, i can feel you 😅
Feel you there. Too many brainwashed people in the west.
May I ask what country you are in?
feel the same. Just keep it as secret is not bad thing
I can totally relate to your experience! Same here in Cali
Cuba once was treated like this before as well, the main reason is because Cuba is not following US government policy. What a lame. Sorry. The victims are definitely innocent people who knows nothing about US government scheme and many were brainwashed until they went to Cuba themselves, then they realize it is not like the US media says about Cuba. Now China.
Same. I'm a Brit who moved to Hong Kong and have been travelling and working in China. Makes you realise there are alot of false narratives being drummed into people back in the UK, especially since the UK tried to strike stronger ties with the US.
I'm curious to here more I'm from the UK and I don't really trust Western media on China so its not as bad as they make out?
@@tomjwjss lot better than they make out....if you believed everything that western media tells you ....then you would think that China is like a Stalinist totalitarian dystopia with secret police everywhere ready to arrest you for even the slightest insult to China and that you are followed and spied on everywhere you go and the Chinese people have no say in everything .... Fortunately the truth is more nuanced , if you go to China to create mayhem , start an insurrection against the government and create riots and general disorder or rumour monger then yes the Chinese government will drop on you very hard , if your intention is to sight see , enjoy Chinese rich culture , live a decent ordinary life then the Chinese government will not even bother you they have better things to do than bother ordinary people like making sure the country runs smoothly for the majority....
@@therealdeal2163 yes exactly what I thought thanks for clearing that up
so not surprised! the british empire has done so much harm to china and the rest of the world (and is now acting through the us neo cons)... because of the language barrier and the propaganda so many people are totally confused and don't see that the bogeyman is our own govts here in the west. i pray for peace and understanding and justice as well!
I have been living in China also for 10 years. Reasons 1-10, the work and the people, law and order.
Not the clean air or wages then?
China looks like a fascinating country. I agree that people are such an important part of our experience in places. Sounds much more convenient than my house. I'm so in the middle of nowhere that not a single restaurant does Deliveroo (or similar service) to my door. I have to go out and collect takeaways! I can't get past how diverse the Chinese landscape is. No way do I think of grasslands in China. It really does have a lot to offer. I think Chinese food looks amazing. I am absolutely dying to try traditional Chinese food.
It is a fascinating country, on so many levels.
That doesn't sound too fun, having to go out and get takeaway. That takes away of the convenience. But on the other hand, it must be nice too to live somewhere rural and quiet?
Chinese food is delicious! There's so much! It wasn't easy to select only 10 things for my list, haha.
@@GoYvon I do like rural life. There's lots of peaceful countryside walks, although the roads are still pretty busy and noisy haha.
@@EllaMcKendrick Come to Yunnan.Everything is almost perfect.haha
I’ve lived there and didn’t want to go back home actually as its laid back there and it is a good place generally speaking but it is very polluted and overcrowded. Standards of living are relatively low. People there are very nice and non americanised. Put it this way, cars get right of way there, not pedestrians. Beware of that one.
Top 2 pros of China are convenient and safety. When I went to China, I realized it was unhealthy to have to worried about safety issues in the States at night. In China, I didn't need to stay alert and it was so common for people to hangout at night in parks. There were many activities going on at night apart from drinking and parties. Online shopping could be delivered the same day. No extra membership fee like Amazon Prime, which still takes 2-3 days to deliver in most cities. And the delivery fees for restaurants are nothing in China, compared to a fixed fee plus 15% tips. Of course I'm willing to pay more to delivery guys.
I love China, I have there twice already beautiful and safest country in the world people are very happy, friendly, polite and healthy, when I was there I took a walk at the park very clean no drugs, no needles, no tents and no homeless people, that's why when I'm retire I will move to Guangzhou China with my Chinese wife and die there peacefully and happy thanks for the video cheers and hulaluia
China is peaceful and much much less stress and all with good values. Way to go for happiness and harmony. No racists in China. Until you stay in China yourself and start a living there your comments will be acceptable unlike some who just pick up unreasonable comments just to sow hatred.

Yes, China is huge and if you were to visit every part of it, it will take you many years.

Their public transportation is good and that helps a lot with traveling within the country.

China is a country who values educators the most, my friend who teaches in the US gets paid more in China which includes housing, car and food expenses which helped her buy a house in Los Angeles, she was able to rent out her house and collect rent as well. What a great deal
Oh, you didn't speak any Chinese at all before you went to China?! Wow, I didn't think that - so well done. I'm sure that was very helpful (probably necessary) for making the most of life and travelling in China. Can't wait to see the food episode 😋 I'm curious to see what kind of food they use a clothes iron to cook 😂
No, not a word. I didn't even really know anything about the country. It has definitely helped me a lot now I speak the language. Mostly at work; it's easier to communicate with coworkers and parents. Which helps to build relationships.
You didn't even need to be able to speak as everything is so self explanatory and most of things you can get with English. Last resort is the translator but it's beneficial to be able to talk to the locals.
I did not speak much English either before I came to the US and went straight to high school. Sat in the classroom felt like an idiot for a whole year. Then just like that, all the sudden I could understand everything in the beginning of the second school year. Watching a lot of TV helped lol.
I have never seen food cook with an iron like before but it does look interesting and probably delicious 😋
Don't worry about that, you can just speak English in China, most people can understand
I love China too when I visited five years ago.

People are nice, kind, pretty harmless, and not crazy there 😝
Hi, GoYvon, Great video. I think, It's important to know the reasons why people live in where they are living. Thanks for sharing.
We visited China couple times and we would love to go again! so many things to see!
We also just visited Rotterdam a month ago, will make that to a video as well later, surprise to see that in your video about China. :)
Thank you for letting the world know the real China while the whole western world has been criticizing and bashing China.
There's another reason that people often take for granted and can't see it through without some serious brainstorming:
Hope.
Hope makes living in China much much more attractive.
See, we humans live on hope, which makes life so much easier and frankly so much happier as a result. Since China is one of the very few, if not the only, major countries that advance in leaps and bounds, most people living in China have hopes , realisticly believing that tomorrow will be even better than today. In the streets you constantly witness that hope by the sheer energy and speed of the society advancement, BIG smiles (literally) in in so many faces, and optimistic spirits from all walks of life 24X7, every day, and every year...
This is not so in many other countries, even in Europe, where uncertainty about tomorrow or the day after tomorrow is almost always in the air for many people. This makes life more dulling, more tendency towards violence, and sometimes less bearable.
If you can't provide your fellow men/women real hope, give them fake hope.
1967 When the US was loosing VN war, 4-star gen. William Westmoreland: "We can see the light at the tunnel now". Few months later, when the US embassy in Saigon was infiltrated & under brutal attack, Walter Cronkite: "We were told that we've won the war" on CBS News.
Early April, Covid 19 blew up in USA, Trump tweeted again: Light at the end of the tunnel.
then US recorded 3,331 deaths and 81,740 cases when Trump light shinned at the tunnel.
Now 10th Sept, the total death was 191,000 & 6.38 Million total case
Is the light still shinning at the end of the tunnel.
Not easy to find a channel which does not demonize China and the people there. Good job!
Thank you Yvon for sharing your experienced in China . I love to visit China in the near future. I am also from Asia living in the U.S.A . God bless 😍
I really like your list! I have lived in Beijing for almost 3 years and I am I glad I picked it over Shanghai and Hong Kong. The convenience is definitely something unique, especially since that convenience does not come at a cost, like in the west. And I love the public bikes! Cost of living in Beijing is much lower than you'd expect from a major city, which makes paying that higher rent a bit of a shock. From what I've seen, the rents are on par with those in EU capital - Brussels, Belgium- and the quality is almost as bad. If you move outside the city, you can find amazingly cheap apartments that are sparkling and brand new, but then you are subjected to a time-draining daily commute to work in the city. Food, culture, language, and travel are my top 4 reasons, so we practically agree there. Great list, Yvon. Keep up the great work!
China is a very safe and peaceful country day and night.
Not for the uyghurs :(
@@bullymaguire632 oh really?
I think uyghur ppl live more comfy than ur self
Safe is a very relative term, covering many things.
Food safety and hygiene, China can be unsafe.
Honest prices from vendors, China is unsafe with the unsuspecting being cheated often.
On the road, China is unsafe. Reckless driving, unqualified and uninsured drivers are common.
Ever heard of children being snatched and disappearing in China? Parents are nervous to let kids out of their sight for this reason.
Ever read the stories about weird mental dudes attacking kids with knives in kindergartens?
Buying things and shopping online for branded products is unsafe with fake and counterfeit products everywhere.
Protection with law and legal issues? Wildly unpredictable and so unsafe.
Health issues ranging from respiratory illness to silly things like sunburn during scorching hot summers, China is again unsafe.
Pickpockets in busy streets, wandering hands swiping things in Internet cafes, yep ... common in unsafe China.
However, if you are a foreigner who walks around drunk at 1am frequently, you will encounter less aggressive drunks and street crime than at home.
But on all the other issues mentioned, I 100% believe my UK hometown is far safer .... based on my many years in China from 2006 to 2019 in Hainan, Yangshuo and Beijing.
"China is safe" is a common and untrue sentence. Which is why Chinese buy milk powder from foreign countries, warn people to avoid street food places who reuse oil, are nervous of buses and travel during Spring Festival and panic about kids being snatched.

@@toucanmasterx if you want to “expose” the CCP, at least spell Uyghurs correctly
I can’t wait to explore this vast country with so many traditions. Currently studying Chinese.
Such a wonderful place to enjoy the unique cultures, delicious foods, and diverse views! Come visit!
I loved your videos. Thanks for making the world a better place! Thanks for making a difference!
Glad you like them!
I admire you so much, I just finish my college degree and I hope that in the near future I can go to China
I studied Industrial engineering in Colombia , but I also would love to be a teacher since I was a teenager that's what I wanted, you just gave me a lot of inspiration , Thanks a lot

The better way ， u should be famous in your industry in you field， then get connected to china. otherwise you will end be a language teach. it should be the last choice.

Congratulations on this big milestone! Glad you enjoy living in China!
Thanks!
The Chinese people are more grounded when it comes to family and morals
Thanks for your amazing Vlog, which is fair, respectful and truthful in accordance with your real life experience in China. China is so peaceful and people are happy and safe. 👏👏👏
Keep up the good job. 👍 You deserve more subscribers.
Blessing.
We really enjoyed this episode! Such a perfect summary of reasons to love China. I (Marion) really miss China, and I would definitely like to live there again. We have been thinking about teaching English to little kids (really basic English) in China, but the problem is that we are not native and we don't have any teaching experience. As I understand you need to be native or have bachelor degree, right? Watching your video make me miss the hutongs, the people, and of course the food. I can't remember the shared bike system from when I was there butt it seems great! What is the place called at 3:47?
Thanks guys! If you're missing China you're at the right spot, cause the next 8 videos will all be China-related.
Yes, rules got a lot stricter in recent years. It isn't easy to work here as a non-native speaker.

@@朱亮-x5v Great! Thank you! We want to go there!
@@GoYvon I guess we have to go there for travelling, not working. I mean I can understand that they want qualified teachers for the kids.
@@朱亮-x5v en......Is 朱亮your real name? We have the same name.
I'm glad you enjoy your life here. 😉😉seems like you've had a lot of fun!
I have had a lot of fun in the past. Still having a lot of fun here in general.
I love China. I visited China for business three times and would love to live there for 3 months to learn the culture, language and travel. Love your channel too.
I have been working in China over 20 years. I totally agree your viewpoints. Thanks for your sharing!
I miss my motherland so much after watching this video
Beautiful country . I also live around 10 years now
When I was an expat vs. now. One thing I love the most, not having the conceal carry on my way to work ready to fire at anyone that try to mug me. Yes, you must be ready to defend your life no matter where you live and what your social status is. In china... probably the safest place I have ever been. I think that's a basic human right, to feel safe.
I spend 3 years in Shanghai...the western press will never tell you this..but you can party until the next day !
nice video, when I watched to No. 5, I then have a strong feeling the food could be the No. 1 reason... I watched lots travel UA-camr transformed to food UA-camr eventually in China...
Love ur channel Yvon....learning n enjoying a lot. Am an overseas Chinese in d Phils. Haven't travelled much in China because of short stays only. Enjoy ur life there. 😉😉
I used to live in China 2 years ago, and I can tell that is one of the best places Ive been to. Really... amazing place.
Welcome to China again 🇨🇳
@@chuge4105 Thank you! Can’t wait.
Such a wonderful clip introducing Beijing. It brings me a thought of moving to China in near future as well. I currently live in Canada.
Totally agree with you, I am absolutely amazed how much China has improved. Thanks for sharing your experience, love to hear more from you.
Beijing is my favorite city in the world
Why is Beijing your favorite?
Excellent video. While I've just awakened to today's China, I have been doing so much research. "Consider the source" Such an honest viewpoint from the ground is a real treat. I have been observing China as a protagonist all my 72 years. I suppose it were old black and whites of them building a great canal by hand. Such good hard working people, and many positive great projects, everywhere. And a leadership working for the country as a whole. There must be a Chinese saying about working with water. I'm in reverence to the people of China, big hug..
I so wish I was 20 years younger. I’d be right there with you!
You live the high live style there. I want to know what an average China living is
Wonderful sharing. Enjoy your life in China and keep up the good work.
Congratulations on your decision to live in China . I'm green with envy seeing how much you enjoy your life in your adopted country . If everyone were to take notice of the constant China-bashing in the western media , then China would have been a no-go zone !
I love china and I love chinese people 100/0!!!)) iam going to move to China when iam at least 30 years old
China is a great country and safe. You are right. From Malaysia
Like your channel, being sincere, informative and cheerful
Thank you so much 😊
The Chinese way of life seems different, when I was there I ate in a cafeteria often and ate street food. The travel interesting but things are even more modern now. In Dalian, where I lived 2009, the city was modern but less modern than Beijing. The housing was abundant and improving. The people were helpful and less outgoing than now. Biking was difficult although was possible. The trains were slower and people were flying a lot. The beaches were crowded but the parks were easily accessed and comfortable. The sights there are unique and the experience incredible. Lots of food in the shops could be found at good prices. Your life in the city seems more distinctive than life in smaller cities. Ten years is a long to spend in the country. I spent seven months there. I know Holland., I have family there. You must like living in China to live there so long.
Thank you for showing us the good side of China! Western media is biased (though to say, China isn't doing the same), but I am happy that you showed us the good side.
Having lived in America for 30 years I really miss the freedom from fear. I go back to Beijing China several times in the past. I was born and grow up there. Because of time leg Of long flight I could not sleep first a couple of days after landed in Beijing I walk in the street late night. That feeling of freedom from fear is so fresh. Yes I lost freedom of criticizing government. But anywhere in China I go at any time I feel as safe as I do in my living room. To me it’s big deal
Glad you feel safe all the time!
I've got to admit that I don't always feel safe when I'm on my bike or in a taxi.
George Lee you lost the freedom of criticizing government? You are absolutely a liar. Chinese Americans misled China to western world too much , enough is enough, since you left already, please shut up.
In China, you actually can criticize government without any fear. You can get many different opinions on internet, TV shows, news, papers.
"I lost freedom of criticizing government." LOL, I criticize the government with my friends on WeChat and weibo very often, nothing happened to us? Some people scold the sh*t out of the government on social media (微博、知乎、头条、等), I don't see them disappearing?
吹牛逼,微博上这么多人喷政府你瞎啊?????????????
Lucky you! How I wish I can retire in China....
