I live in San Francisco. I dare not go out for a walk after dinner. I sit in the living room watching TV stations like CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC telling me how much freedom I have.
I really hope things get better for u guys, that louder voices can bring about new change and for political parties of countries to at least be cordial to one another 💗
Why is China a peaceful, happy, safe, prosperous country? Answer: no drugs, no pcorn, no guns, no gambling, no gangs, no hateful propaganda, no mainstream fake news media, no dirty lying politicians, no racists....
It just bc the Chinese gov did a best job such like " set up so many cctv every area to make sure it will be more safety while citizens going out. Plus citizens are trust and believed this way more safe for them. Living in China which you can able to walking alone by yourself at middle of the night in the dark area without worry about someone behind will rob you. Also if you leave your phone or labtop inside your car 100% noone will brake your care window and stole it. This the big different compare from the west.
The more I watch these happy foreigners in China videos on UA-cam the more I wanted to pack My bags and just wanted to take off and go back to my China! I am so glad our Chinese people are living so much better! Thanks for showing my beloved China!
@@LW78321 If you are of Chinese decent may be look into getting the residency of Hong Kong. I heard that if you have permanent HK ID you could apply for the "Back to China permit" but I was told that you need to prove you have Chinese blood. The exact procedure I am not sure. I just know that it is relatively easy to get HK residency. Both my Mum and sister hold a full British passport i.e.UK citizen and they are residing in HK with their permanent ID card. They applied and received their "back to China permit" and can go in and out of the mainland anytime no need visa. The "back to China permit" is open for HK, Macua and Taiwan residence to apply.
I just came back from kunming last week, it was absolutely nostalgia to revisit those street food scenes again in your video. Indeed it was a festival like street atmosphere at those places you have shown, the peace , orderliness, well mannered people, the soft music from the street singers, the lighting, the street vendor deco , the food smell, all thisse elements paint a beautiful, harmonious and relaxing evening experience.
Mate, I went to China and I never felt so safe in my life, and I'm a white Aussie bloke. I went out shopping in Beijing and Shanghai at 3:00am and I was surprised at the number of single people, including young women, walking around with ease. I went to USA and I felt nervous. There was NO WAY I'd go out in LA or NYC after Midnight. And I was warned by many NOT to go to certain suburbs, even during the day. In USA, Citizens carry guns and there are 40,000 Gun related deaths EVERY year in USA. Virtually Zero gun related deaths EVERY year in China, Australia, and every other developed Country in the World. China is far more safer to visit than USA. And the citizens of China were extremely welcoming, respectful, and helpful. In USA you needed to be very careful who you approached. There were too many ANGRY citizens in USA.
@@yuan-hsiangliao4968 Too true mate. USA all want to go around and shoot each other dead. Even their politicians have Ads depicting them shooting other Americans ... and telling their voters to go out and shoot other Americans if they do not agree with them. One politician has an Ad where she has a rifle Cross pointing right at the foreheads of opposition politicians. Another has all her children, as young as 5, telling their voters that even her family are trained to kill other Americans. The USA Republican Party are constantly telling Americans to go and shoot other Americans. The whole country is insane. You can go to a shopping centre, buy some tomatoes, carrots, milk ... and an AR Rifle. They have FAMILY FRIENDLY FIREARMS??? The sell them like they sell their burgers. This is why they have 40,000 USA Citizens die from Gun deaths every year ... while the rest of the developed world have virtually ZERO gun related deaths, every year.
@@一个达不溜-x9w LMFAO! How many ways can I laugh. Mate, there is something seriously wrong with you. Get yourself a passport and go visit China. China IS a developed Country.

Walk alone in Beijing for over 2 hours as I missed the last MRT train. Walk through many streets and lanes which had dimly lighted lamps. Not ONCE I felt treated or fear that I may be ROB or ABUSED . Reached my hostel about 1am. No Issues !!!
You're not alone. Many times, I walked alone, late at night, along the back alleys of the Hutong area in Beijing. Didnt feel threatened at all. We can sense danger but I felt totally safe here. And it was my first visit to China!
Many thanks for your GREAT episode , Lizzy. I love your channel more and more. You let us know the real life of China. What a city you can go out at mid night for snacks. ❤❤❤
@serriajohnCantonese style chicken feet aren't stewed, first the feet are marinated with spices overnight, then slightly deep fried quickly so the skin is puffy soft, then the feet are steamed with black bean sauce. A good dim sum chef is judged by how good he makes chicken feet and shrimp dumplings, if he is a master at making these two dim sum dishes then he should be good at making other dim sum dishes. There's other types of chicken feet dim sum dish, such as the soy sauce stewed chicken feet and cold chicken feet in vinegar and onion, but these aren't as popular as chicken feet steamed in black bean sauce.
Seen a recent POLL of top 10 safest country ...... JAPAN came 1st & China wasn't even in the top 10 listed...? GO FIGURE? who does these polls.? JAPAN has a bunch of REALLY WEIRD Murder cases... mostly by (Incels) Nutter loner Japanese guys... Late last month this was one of the headline: 𝐌𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐉𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐫𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐠𝐮𝐧, 𝐤𝐧𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐤 & since 17 May 2023 - Police in Japan recorded 853 murder cases in 2022. The number decreased by 21 cases compared to the 2021...😲
I had visited Kunming 30 years ago. In that time being, i found it was not so clean, and not so safe. Now China is so great, advanced, prosperous, i really want to visit there again.
The westerners should now realise China is a community with educated and disciplined citizens. Most important is China is a country based on community first so no one would do things that would bring the community into disrepute. That is why the citizens will keep the place clean, no graffiti and foreigners are well respected. It is a far cry from the selfish democracy where everyone is for oneself. There is nothing wrong with the democracy but there are alternatives that can be better too!
I think the main problem with Western democracies is that we just stopped trying to be better, thinking it is the peak. People can always improve, but we stopped trying because we were at the top for so long. Pride is the true instigator of the downfall of empires. The sense that you can't be wrong even as you do all the wrong things steadily leading to your own destruction. Constant reflection and adjustment is the only way not to fall into the trap.
I like your videos not just because I'm Chinese and you talked good about China, every places have their good and bad, it's about you are so positive in life and every time I watch your videos will make my day, enjoy your time in China. Every Chinese person like chicken feet 😅.
One of the main reasons that ordinary people go out and enjoy even at night is that they know that the government is looking after them 24 hours a day. And the people know better than to do a criminal act. Of course, crime and bad people are everywhere. But in China, punishment is enforced to the the letter. Do drugs and you go to jail. Sell drugs and you die. The law is in black and white, no in between. Americans should call for the strict enforcement and strict application of the laws. A shoplifter killing a Home Depot employee only got 5 years! Give her a chance even after all her convictions. And what about the poor guy who got shot and killed?
Thank you for taking the time, like many other vloggers from the West, to show what China is really like. The politicians of the West want the world to think that China is a horrific totalitarian regime, and all of its people are downtrodden, oppressed, and desperately unhappy. In fact, most people in China are prosperous and doing better and better. They are hard working, and they enjoy their down time. Chinese cities are safe, well maintained, and there are no beggars. The subways are ultramodern, and safe. The shopping malls are huge, futuristic, and safe. What you showed in your video are streets full of happy people enjoying their city, and these streets are also safe. China is not the only place where this is true. But it is certainly far from the unhappy place that many leaders of the West want their people to believe.
I spent a month in China, it was very safe. The people are friendly even though they don’t speak english. However they would put a smile on their faces. I would not walk in the streets here in the US specially at night.
You don't need to be speaking English to be friendly. Maybe put in some effort to learn a few words or sentences, since you were in their country. Or at least take it upon yourself to have a translation app available.
Hi I like your video on China, I stayed in China for 3yrs, in city of Chengdu, Sichuan, this is a quote most layed back city in China you may want to visit there some time, as for as like you never heard of the fruit (durian fruit) until a went to China, 2 things I learn about the fruit Chinese, Thai people love it, but it's usually only women love it most Chinese men don't just smell put them of, and you must never try to board a plane with durian fruit because the smell, you would banned from flying in with in your luggage 谢谢👍
I am from Philippines but my mother side are Chinese and for some reason, when I was four, Durian, Sugar Apple, and grape fruit was the only fruits I love. al though Grape Fruit makes me sad now because I am unable to enjoy them without my late Grand Mother...
John you heard of the "Stinky Tofu" snack right? This was what happened in my family 25 yrs ago - my mum bought a piece of durian (which was quite rarely seen in my city at that time) and as long as my dad went back he immediately turned around to buy a bottle of stinky tofu to fight against it 🙃🙃Me? I slept in my grandma's house that night, don't ask me why
@@TheoJam1985 The durian is most smelly fruit I know most men can't stand the smell, but most women love fruit, just note if you try to broad a aircraft with durian fruit in your hand luggage they will stop you board it ban on passage planes 🙏amituofu
Glad to see and hear a South African promoting China. Wonder if your Mandarin is better than mine, sure it is. Love China and Chinese culture. Greetings from CapeTown. South Africa 🇿🇦.
You’re right , it’s so dangerous to be surrounded by so much delicious foods while walking at night in China. I’ve gained 4kg within one month staying, so be careful.
So envious that you get to enjoy a life like that. Being able to walk and experience culture, food and fun even at 1:30 am! Man, I wish I had that life. I think that frog behind you is lost though 😄
I was born and grew up in Beijing and then came to Chicago US. I have 30 years of living experience in China and 32 in US. I went back to China 4 or 5 times for vacation. On public safety, difference between China and U.S. is day and night. One of encounters when I traveled in China was that I was in chengdu sightseeing and passed by a convenient store. All of sudden I remembered I need to buy a tooth paste. So I walked in and found it and took it to register. To my surprise, a little cute girl who was 6 years old and standing on a bench attended it. I handed over my stuff and she skillfully scanned my purchases and told me how much. I paid. Then I asked her how old she was and where her parents are. She said 6 and her dad and mom were in the back eating lunch and then said thanks and turned to next customers. Having been living Chicago for so many years I found myself not completely transitioning to Chinese social environment. Now I finally understand why people say China is not only different country but different civilization.
In China, you can participate in the People's Congress to elect the next national leader and decide on China's construction goals for the next 10 years. If this is not freedom, then what is freedom?
People will relax or find some entertainment at night after one day working, enjoy foods, hangout with friends, especially in weekends. In south of China, people love night life, their life starts at night.
Hmmm. Sounds like you might still be there as you liked it so much you never left ! 🙄 Seriously - surely China can afford better quality 50 cent army than this these days?
Durian is the King of tropical fruits... It's from Southeast Asia, mainly Malaysia and Thailand. Since the completion of the Kunming-Laos rail link, durians are increasingly more available and affordable in China.
@@cuteandfunnyearthlings2863 we tried to scam them by selling seaweed as bird nest. The Chinese found out and banned our bird nests exports for several months. It was a shameful action by a few individuals
Durians are grown in Indonesia, Viet-Nam, and also China. the queen of fruit is Mangosteen. it is advisable to save the durian shell and drink water from it in order to ease digestion, or eat Mangosteen.
@@WEBFundamentalnah it’s because of the quality of the durians, maoshangwang, the absolute best durian (breed?) is at we commonly consume in SEA that’s why it’s more expensive and the prices depend on what ur buying!
As a person from Kunming, I really miss the food and weather of my hometown. Kunming is known as the city of spring, which means that it is like spring all year round, neither too hot nor too cold, and Kunming has the largest flower trading market in Asia, where 60% of the flowers in China come from. Welcome to Kunming.😀😀
Even in the smaller cities in China there is a vibrant night life. I never felt uneasy walking around at night. There were always people working or enjoying a night out on the town. I will post more videos after my trip to Guangdong later this year.
here in certain parts of East Long Beach, California, mom & pops shops are in a rush to close after 5pm. It's too dangerous later in the evening. Walking down this side of Long Beach at night is like walking on a landmine. You're going to get hurt or kill. Keep the vlog coming please, would love to visit China one day
I have lived in California since 2015( LA then SF) it’s true. I try to call Uber at late night and it’s a lot money. Remember gun is legal in US so never confront with those crazy homeless people
I totally agree with you, I was living in the port of LA from 2015-2018 and as you said the part of Long Beach is really disaster by the time, still remember that one of my professor told me like DO NOT GO TO THAT AREA IF NOT NECESSARY!😢
As you can see in this video, the Police in China do NOT carry guns. I approached one in Shanghai to go to the nearest toilet, and the young officer escorted me to the near Department Store to the 1st Floor where the public toilets were. Police in China are CIVIC Police. In USA, the Police are MILITIA Police. I was nervous to approach them because all I could focus on is their UTILITY Belt full of Arsenals (e.g. Gun, Baton, Spray Cans, Handcuffs, Taser, etc). WTF? And if you do something minor, USA Police approach you with their hand hovering over their gun.
I think it is not easy to be a policeman in the USA either, show some empathy here, almost everyone in the USA can get hold of a gun.It is much more dangerous to be a policeman in the US than that in China.
@@NancyYan-wk2ph Sad, but true. The USA Police Officers were young, and they do not want to die. So, they get suspicious with everybody, because people carry guns in USA, and 40,000 gun related deaths every year in USA.
China is hands down the safest country in the world. In the US, you are 70 times more likely to become a victim of a violent crime. I don’t go out after dark in LA.
In 2008, China was a developing country. In 2023, China is still a developing country. Living here for a long time, I may not feel like a superpower. I am from China
Say a sad thing: My uncle worked in Shenzhen. During the Spring Festival of 1995, he spent a week's salary to buy a large durian and take it back to his hometown (in central China). Since none of us had eaten durian before, when we cut it, we smelled a strong odor. We thought it was corrupt, and then we threw it away.
I stayed in Seattle redmond for almost 2 years and rarely went out to mall for fun after I experienced and knew the gunshots in public news. The gunshots happened a few blocks away from my airbnb in Tacoma. I heard it in the midnight and decided to pack and leave without asking for refund the next day. Yes, I was scared and I felt there is too much freedom in US. just way too much
As a Chinese, I thought other countries would also be safe to walk around alone in the evening with the streets brightly lit with busy malls and exciting events. Though we don't have your kind of freedom, but our government did have done a good job on cracking down on crimes and enforcing very very strict drug control policies to keep its people safe in general.
In China,you cannot talk any bad comments about the goverment,or you will be cought to the jail.And the lies come out from the goverment you must regard them as truth.People have no political freedom, talking freedom and news freedom.This is the biggest fail of this country.
I live in the DFW area of Texas. I would not go out at night for safty reason. However, in most of the Asian countries, late at night is not much a safty concern at all. How nice !
To answer your question about gambling: Ma-Jiang and poker games with money incentives amongst family and friends are allowed, but organised commercial gambling is illegal in Mainland. People can go to casinos in Macau where gambling is legal.
3:54 The first taxi in line is a blue plate I would say "sorry dude" all the other taxis are green plates...I want an electric cab only...that guy needs to change his vehicle.

THANKS FOR SHOWING THE REAL WORLD TO THE BLIND ONES.
One of the main reasons that ordinary people go out and enjoy even at night is that they know that the government is looking after them 24 hours a day. And the people know better than to do a criminal act. Of course, crime and bad people are everywhere. But in China, punishment is enforced to the the letter. Do drugs and you go to jail. Sell drugs and you die. The law is in black and white, no in between. Americans should call for the strict enforcement and strict application of the laws. A shoplifter killing a Home Depot employee only got 5 years! Give her a chance even after all her convictions. And what about the poor guy who got shot and killed?
在中国，有犯罪记录的人，会受到别人的歧视，并且很难找到工作，付出的代价太高，所以不敢犯罪
@@jiekexunmaike2509 不。监狱会教罪犯一些工作技能，比如有名的监狱缝纫。
@@fuzong1069让我想起了踩缝纫机好长时间的吴亦凡
在中国，犯罪过的人，被政府判刑出狱后，就完全和正常人一样，融入社会，待遇上和正常人的区别非常小，这使得偶尔犯错的中国人，不会因为一次错误，而选择永远犯罪，这也是中国会更安全的因素之一

Thank you for taking the time, like many other vloggers from the West, to show what China is really like. The politicians of the West want the world to think that China is a horrific totalitarian regime, and all of its people are downtrodden, oppressed, and desperately unhappy. In fact, most people in China are prosperous and doing better and better. They are hard working, and they enjoy their down time. Chinese cities are safe, well maintained, and there are no beggars. The subways are ultramodern, and safe. The shopping malls are huge, futuristic, and safe. What you showed in your video are streets full of happy people enjoying their city, and these streets are also safe. China is not the only place where this is true. But it is certainly far from the unhappy place that many leaders of the West want their people to believe.

Love your videos Lizzy. Midnight on a Wednesday that looks like a Saturday night at 8pm??? Wow!
It’s safe to say this video will add to the mounting experience of foreigners who preach China is a really safe country. :D
肯定收了中国政府的钱 哈哈
事实也是如此
because it is the truth.
对中国人来说，晚上不能出门，或者不能去特定的街区，是非常奇怪而且不可接受的，任何人在自己的国家都应该有自由生活的权力
可惜这样的自由，还有人不懂得珍惜。
中国并不总是这样，80-90年代，各地治安状况都很差，车匪路霸横行

I spent a month in China, it was very safe. The people are friendly even though they don’t speak english. However they would put a smile on their faces. I would not walk in the streets here in the US specially at night.
Yeah really safe! Glad you enjoyed it here 😁
You don't need to be speaking English to be friendly. Maybe put in some effort to learn a few words or sentences, since you were in their country. Or at least take it upon yourself to have a translation app available.
Chinese in US are smarter and more law abiding than Chinese in China lol
I found that your you are in Kunming
, where I live. Welcome and have a good time!
Thanks! 😃

After I watched this video, I subscribed your channel. The frog and the big balloon is so cute
Hi I like your video on China, I stayed in China for 3yrs, in city of Chengdu, Sichuan, this is a quote most layed back city in China you may want to visit there some time, as for as like you never heard of the fruit (durian fruit) until a went to China, 2 things I learn about the fruit Chinese, Thai people love it, but it's usually only women love it most Chinese men don't just smell put them of, and you must never try to board a plane with durian fruit because the smell, you would banned from flying in with in your luggage 谢谢👍
学会打麻将了吗🤣
I am from Philippines but my mother side are Chinese and for some reason, when I was four, Durian, Sugar Apple, and grape fruit was the only fruits I love. al though Grape Fruit makes me sad now because I am unable to enjoy them without my late Grand Mother...
Every one here has stayed in China, otherwise , nobody like China in the west ! This is the reality of world
John you heard of the "Stinky Tofu" snack right? This was what happened in my family 25 yrs ago - my mum bought a piece of durian (which was quite rarely seen in my city at that time) and as long as my dad went back he immediately turned around to buy a bottle of stinky tofu to fight against it 🙃🙃Me? I slept in my grandma's house that night, don't ask me why
@@TheoJam1985
The durian is most smelly fruit I know most men can't stand the smell, but most women love fruit, just note if you try to broad a aircraft with

You’re right , it’s so dangerous to be surrounded by so much delicious foods while walking at night in China.
I’ve gained 4kg within one month staying, so be careful.
Hahaha 👍
HA HA
lmao, are you serious?
I wouldn't eat anything in china even if they payed me to do so.
It's all contaminated.
good one

So envious that you get to enjoy a life like that. Being able to walk and experience culture, food and fun even at 1:30 am! Man, I wish I had that life. I think that frog behind you is lost though 😄
I really do realize I'm living a blessed life. Where do you live?
去中国❤ 你也可以享受安全的生活
I was born and grew up in Beijing and then came to Chicago US. I have 30 years of living experience in China and 32 in US. I went back to China 4 or 5 times for vacation. On public safety, difference between China and U.S. is day and night. One of encounters when I traveled in China was that
I was in chengdu sightseeing and passed by a convenient store. All of sudden I remembered I need to buy a tooth paste. So I walked in and found it and took it to register. To my surprise, a little cute girl who was 6 years old and standing on a bench attended it. I handed over my stuff and she skillfully scanned my purchases and told me how much. I paid. Then I asked her how old she was and where her parents are. She said 6 and her dad and mom were in the back eating lunch and then said thanks and turned to next customers. Having been living Chicago for so many years I found myself not completely transitioning to Chinese social environment. Now I finally understand why people say China is not only different country but different civilization.

Thank you for being telling the truth about China. Please enjoy your stay in China.
This is what called " freedom" 😊
In China, you can participate in the People's Congress to elect the next national leader and decide on China's construction goals for the next 10 years. If this is not freedom, then what is freedom?
真正的自由无论什么时间走在没有任何危险，可以放心的生活!
People will relax or find some entertainment at night after one day working, enjoy foods, hangout with friends, especially in weekends. In south of China, people love night life, their life starts at night.
Yeah that's true! I love that
I visited China and she was truely very safe and confortable life there.
Hmmm. Sounds like you might still be there as you liked it so much you never left ! 🙄
Seriously - surely China can afford better quality 50 cent army than this these days?
Yeah really safe!

Durian is the King of tropical fruits... It's from Southeast Asia, mainly Malaysia and Thailand. Since the completion of the Kunming-Laos rail link, durians are increasingly more available and affordable in China.
Prices go down in China but go way up in Malaysia
don't get scammed by some durian street vendors they put rocks inside the shells
@@cuteandfunnyearthlings2863 we tried to scam them by selling seaweed as bird nest. The Chinese found out and banned our bird nests exports for several months. It was a shameful action by a few individuals
Durians are grown in Indonesia, Viet-Nam, and also China. the queen of fruit is Mangosteen. it is advisable to save the durian shell and drink water from it in order to ease digestion, or eat Mangosteen.
@@WEBFundamentalnah it’s because of the quality of the durians, maoshangwang, the absolute best durian (breed?) is at we commonly consume in SEA that’s why it’s more expensive and the prices depend on what ur buying!

As a person from Kunming, I really miss the food and weather of my hometown.

It's not only the commercial activities but also induce people to invest in this country since this is the best way to show how safe this country is.
thank you for your perspective about China
Even in the smaller cities in China there is a vibrant night life. I never felt uneasy walking around at night. There were always people working or enjoying a night out on the town. I will post more videos after my trip to Guangdong later this year.
中国欢迎你！我英语不好，但是用翻译软件还是能沟通😂😂
I am in Guangzhou and have the opportunity to show you some delicious food
here in certain parts of East Long Beach, California, mom & pops shops are in a rush to close after 5pm. It's too dangerous later in the evening. Walking down this side of Long Beach at night is like walking on a landmine. You're going to get hurt or kill. Keep the vlog coming please, would love to visit China one day
WOW? I didn't know its THAT dangerous there! Yeah come visit, Im sure it will be eye opening
they have votes and so then they do not need security or safety, LOL
真的假的，
I have lived in California since 2015( LA then SF) it’s true. I try to call Uber at late night and it’s a lot money. Remember gun is legal in US so never confront with those crazy homeless people
I totally agree with you, I was living in the port of LA from 2015-2018 and as you said the part of Long Beach is really disaster by the time, still remember that one of my professor told me like DO NOT GO TO THAT AREA IF NOT NECESSARY!😢
最喜欢的就是晚上走在街上的感觉，哪怕一个人也不会觉得孤单
At 3'55", Lizzy showed Taxis. In China it is very affordable, not like in Europe (I'm in London).
Yeah Chinas taxi's are very affordable!!!
have fun , good luck~😋
Welcome to Kunming! Hope you had a good time.
The danger is one needs to control how much food to intake during a night walk, because delicious foods are everywhere.
Everywhere!!! Gonna get fat
As you can see in this video, the Police in China do NOT carry guns. I approached one in Shanghai to go to the nearest toilet, and the young officer escorted me to the near Department Store to the 1st Floor where the public toilets were. Police in China are CIVIC Police. In USA, the Police are MILITIA Police. I was nervous to approach them because all I could focus on is their UTILITY Belt full of Arsenals (e.g. Gun, Baton, Spray Cans, Handcuffs, Taser, etc). WTF? And if you do something minor, USA Police approach you with their hand hovering over their gun.
I think it is not easy to be a policeman in the USA either, show some empathy here, almost everyone in the USA can get hold of a gun.It is much more dangerous to be a policeman in the US than that in China.
@@NancyYan-wk2ph Sad, but true. The USA Police Officers were young, and they do not want to die. So, they get suspicious with everybody, because people carry guns in USA, and 40,000 gun related deaths every year in USA.
Most chinese city are sleepless night, most people come out until next morning
Thank you for sharing real China☺
Always!😁
China is hands down the safest country in the world. In the US, you are 70 times more likely to become a victim of a violent crime. I don’t go out after dark in LA.
Singapore is the safest in the world. China is on par since Singapore is also another Chinese majority country.
US Cities like Irvine CA are safer and smarter than all chinese cities lol

I was in China in 2008, and it was still a developing country. I felt safe walking at night in Shanghai. Now, China is a superpower and even safer!
Yeah China really is just growing by the day! I think if you come back now, it's like a whole different country

Gambling is illegal in China, except in Macau
Not if the amount is small, half of the country is playing majiang at night, are you going to arrest them all?
@@Song-TheNiceGuy I was referring to slot machines and online gambling not entertaining mahjong with small money for fun
So ppl have to gamble their time and wealth away to be free???
A quick answer about gambling - it’s illegal in mainland China. Lottery is legal. Chinese usually gamble in Macau or in foreign countries.
Big casinos are not allowed in China except in Macau, people gamble with their friends and neighbors in 茶楼（tea rooms）where they play poker or majong
Safest place on earth and beautiful beyond belief ❤
A Wednesday midnight is like that? I never go out after 8pm, and nobody does. I live in Los Angeles.
That's a shame. Although I've also never experienced this kinda life until I came here
Say a sad thing:
My uncle worked in Shenzhen. During the Spring Festival of 1995, he spent a week's salary to buy a large durian and take it back to his hometown (in central China). Since none of us had eaten durian before, when we cut it, we smelled a strong odor. We thought it was corrupt, and then we threw it away.
A sad but quite funny experience.
Every durian lovers will be outraged🤣
😂😂😂😂
有趣的回忆，能记忆一生，全家在一起的回忆，很珍贵。

虽然很高兴你能喜欢中国，但是不管在哪里都还是要注意安全，包括不要喝陌生人的饮料，或者太相信他人。在安全的情况下，希望你能享受在中国的旅程。
I have been there. Nice place, and good taste food
Amazing food and vibes! Love it here
I stayed in Seattle redmond for almost 2 years and rarely went out to mall for fun after I experienced and knew the gunshots in public news. The gunshots happened a few blocks away from my airbnb in Tacoma. I heard it in the midnight and decided to pack and leave without asking for refund the next day. Yes, I was scared and I felt there is too much freedom in US. just way too much
Freedom is fine, it’s the self entitlement that’s really the downfall.
Seattle is still smarter and more developed than all chinese cities lol
too much freedom that you just don't have the freedom to do normal things :)
As a Chinese, I thought other countries would also be safe to walk around alone in the evening with the streets brightly lit with busy malls and exciting events. Though we don't have your kind of freedom, but our government did have done a good job on cracking down on crimes and enforcing very very strict drug control policies to keep its people safe in general.
I am so jealous now in the US, I came from China 27 years ago, and I dare not to walk outside after 7 pm or it is dark outside in America.
That's a shame... yeah really lucky here
Can return home... You have a choice.

谢谢你的视频。中国非常安全。即便在凌晨三点，大街上空无一人，你也是安全的。因为中国人有一句话叫“人命关天”。
我来到墨西哥蒂华纳已经2个人月。墨西哥人民非常热情，非常礼貌。但是也有不好的人。我的同事在路上被抢劫过，被警察索贿过。这在中国几乎不会发生。基础设施也比较落后。我想念家人，想念中国。欢迎大家去中国旅游。中国人热情好客，绝对不是西方媒体宣传的那么死气沉沉。
政府在各个路口都有监控，犯罪分子不敢轻易犯罪。可是这样的措施在西方人看来，路边的摄像头侵犯了他的隐私。多么可笑。
作为一个中国人，有时候会很困惑，为什么西方人特别是美国人，对中国人的仇视会这么深。为什么要限制中国高科技的发展？中国最近30年的经济发展非常快，但这不是奇迹，只是延迟的享受。中国人非常辛苦的积累资本（而不是享受）去发展自己的产业。我只能理解，美国人怕中国崛起动摇了美国人利益。但是，中国人会克服的，等着瞧。
西方所谓的普世价值。这个世界，应该要有包容性。就像资本主义和社会主义，这些只是政治家用来统治的话术。对于普通人来说，社会稳定且安全，经济繁荣，百姓安居乐业，这个制度就是好制度。没有什么绝对的普世价值，不要把自己认为好的东西强加给别人。
愿世界和平，每个人健康。再次谢谢您视频。

I live in the DFW area of Texas. I would not go out at night for safty reason. However, in most of the Asian countries, late at night is not much a safty concern at all. How nice !
