it baffles me every time i get to see a full body shot of Xiaoma now that he has lost weight. He looks like such a different person in the best way possible. Keep up the hard work!
He's been in China for awhile now, compared to NYC it's way hotter, the food it was less calorie rich, I bet he's walking even more than he did in NYC and I think he is working out, he's young he can drop the weight fast in those conditions, good on Xiaoboy.
Turtles need to absorb UV through their shells in order to get vitamins. They will slowly unalive if you paint their shells. If you have a pet turtle or catch one in the wild please don't do this if you see this video and think it's cute. It can also poison their lungs
Yeah when I saw it at first I was like oh cool those look really life like (thinking they were little robo-fish or something) but them being live is a bummer. The paint is horrible for the turtles and between that and being constantly "fished" theyve gotta be incredibly stressed for their shortened life spans.
It's very true the idea of animal cruelty has not caught up in China. I was there last year and accidentally visited one of these mall zoos. The animals were all clearly drugged up allowing people to grab them at will for photos. Also this isn't just any zoo in the world. Think about how much space an animal like an emu or ostrich really needs to run around.
I was really saddened when I saw those turtles with painted shells. Their shells are how they absorb UV light needed for shell growth and bone health. Not to mention that potentially toxic paint. I go could go on and on about those poor Emus and other animals but I won't.
@ imagine you were born into a small, dirty cage, filled with drugs and food so you grow faster, and slaughtered as soon as you hit maturity, having never seen green grass in your entire life. Would you say you suffered?
Sad but understand this type of thing exposing young Chinese kids to these animals in a positive way can lead to there generation not seeing them as food....China isn't the west and as sad as it seems to us it's a step in the right direction
@@lockedin6699 it's absurd honestly. I see so many westerners, mostly american dissing on Chinese people. Then there's this videos where normal citizens just thinks of us Americans has handsome face standard. Brainwashed and ignorant.

I spent a few weeks in Chengdu with my family last month. I can’t get over how much things have changed in the 8 years since I last visited! One thing I noticed that really impressed me was the customer service experience. Staff were so helpful and polite to us! You really see it with the younger generation. It is almost on the same level as Japan! I can’t wait to go back! Thanks for posting this video, it’s always fun to see what you are up to!
That's Singapore, though it's small in scale, and China actually learned from some of Singapore's model. Deng Xiaoping sent economic delegates there to study Singapore.
This is just another aspect to the ugly beauty of life. People/animals eat ‘food’ sometimes at the expense of another animal’s life with little or no regard. Not to diminish what you see
@@ChocolateFishBrains Is there though? Most of the time, not so much. Animals don't know why they suffer for. It's the same to them. Not any one of them will be like "oh so I'm food for humans, so it's fine !". How delusional can you be to comment such nonsense.
@@imperial3727 humane treatment doesn't mean how you would treat humans. it means a safe and comfortable living environment for them, minimizing suffering, and showing compassion to those animals. Which we would want for humans, but everything should be treated with compassion.
Don't get me wrong, I think screen controls are a pretty neat capability for a car. Keeps it more sleek looking and gives you more options of functionality. However... I feel like it's a safety risk that contributes to distracted driving. I prefer actual buttons and knobs that I can feel without looking. Remember those really old school car radios that had those big push buttons for your preset radio channels? And the channel display was just a needle that would slide right and left over the am/fm band chart. lol Who here is still old enough to have remembered a time when they used an actual crank handle to roll down the window???
I feel like this is the reason why these cars can't exist in the US besides tariffs. People here already have a hard enough time not getting into accidents in cars without screens in them. If there's one thing we kinda have a leg up on over most countries, it's safety standards. Both in buildings and products. A lot of red tape, but it's there for a reason.
I guess in the future there'll be more voice control options to mitigate distracted driving with these super techy vehicles. I currently own a 2024 kia sportage. And let me tell you, the voice control for their GPS is just game changing. I'll be driving without looking down at the screen..."Go...McDonald's" then a list of like 5 closes McD's pops up and I just have to say the line number and the gps will instantly voice route my way to it" But the radio/A/C heating area kinda sucks. It's touch screen. And you have to tap a little symbol to toggle between the two displays. So if you have the radio on and want to turn the A/C up you have to look down and tap a button to bring up the temperature controls. Then tap more buttons to adujst that. Then tap a symbol yet again to get back to the area that offers the radio / navigation stuff. It's an accident waiting to happen for someone.

I tell you, it always feels especially weird when you see one of your country's native animals (the emu in this case) being kept captive in foreign lands.
Pens are small, many animals are drugged, turtles will die soon because they absorb UV light through their shells and there were no UV lamps and their shells were painted.
It’s so amazing how one day things just hit you.

28:57 thank you for posting honestly. Chinese people are wonderfully friendly. The government has major issues. You've subtly pointed out what's happening censorship wise without making a big deal out of it and still shared a largely positive experience. Thank you
@@melozgul8164America obviously has a lot of issues just like any other country but they definitely don't have the heavy level of censorship that China does. "Free press" doesn't really exist in China, which is a big issue
Why can't we all just get along? Thanks for bringing our nations and globe together with your videos bro. You're doing great in bringing out the best in humanity. I've garnered a much deeper understanding and respect for cultures because of the unity in learning cultural languages. Keep it up.
Might be the best video about china I have seen ever (and trust me after 5 years learning Chinese so far and thousands of videos about it it’s quite an achievement 😂)
I knid of feel that the malls in Australia and US don't compete that well with the Chinese malls. The cars, the VR, the tech, arcades, kids experiences, robotics, the experience in general doesn't match what we all have.... Bernie in Sydney
that's because the self-control here in the states would not allow the nice things to exist. we have "children" here that would destroy those nice things because they have no training about other people things and how to treat them.
Those cars would absolutely destroy the US market if sold here for those prices. The US auto market needs to be more like them. No one in their right mind should be paying $90+ for a Tesla
I mean, urban car commutes are still being promoted in both countries so...both are arguably stuck in the 20th c, no one should be forced to pay 1000s of $ for an urban veh to begin with
While I agree car companies need to start making and selling affordable EV's, you should do some research about the Chinese EV's. The biggest thing is that they could never be sold here with our DOT regulations and health and safety laws. Because of the corruption that permeates all aspects of Chinese society, they are quite dangerous. I've seen so many videos of brand new unsold EV's burning down on the lot, batteries exploding in accidents, cruise control 'auto-pilot' causing accidents, airbags not deploying in crashes and killing people, the electronic locks and door handles not operating after a crash and the occupants burning to death, etc. Let alone the quality of the parts and build quality/QC of the car itself. I think the biggest indicator is, why were there so few ICE car companies historically, and why do the majority of people drive non-Chinese cars...
Tesla's biggest market is China. Agree with having China's cars available in the US but it's not a Tesla problem it's the legacy automakers that put the brakes on that.
These videos give me some kind of existential dread. Like the world is so big and full of different things, it would take many lifetimes to explore it all, and by that time, where you started would be completely different. So strange.
China is amazing. So different from what I assumed it would be. I will never see it In person, but I'm glad to see you and your family enjoy it. Technology is pretty wild over there.
The painting of the turtle shells upset me. Growing up, I use to keep some as pets. Their shells are very sensitive, they can feel all over them like we can our skin
@@ChocolateFishBrains Yes, it is a false equivalence. Being sadistic and murdering an animal for pleasure is much worse than painting a turtle's shell.
This is a great video Xiaoma!! Thanks for taking us with you on this tour..It's utterly amazing to see the level of technology over there, and the train system with food readily delivered when you arrive!!!!?😯😳...Waaaay beyond what we have here..Frankly I can't see us getting to that level over here, seriously! That said, also interesting to see the restrictions at the book mart...wow!
Ari, you are probably too busy to read my comment. I have been a fan since you started your YT career. I haven't commented before until now. I have to say of all the vids you created this is hands down the best. You are by far the best content creator in my opinion. Good job sir!
I was fixing to say that, also crazy they have them on display cause they’re quite dangerous, watch out for the talons 👀 china is wild! You only catch those in Australia really WTH are they doing there lmao
@@TravFletch Hmm. I would have no clue why they're on display. I guess some people in China do thing's differently from other countries that would be illegal. It's like with Sugar Gliders in Australia which are suppose to be wild animals that are now "Pets" for some people to have.
I loved this style of video! You exploring WITH your family is awesome! Hopefully you do more countries and more remote locations like this. Great stuff!
@@Daniel-xp8ct you are copy pasting this in every comment talking about the poor treatment of those animals. Cool, the food industry (not just in the US btw) imcan be cruel to animals. Everyone knows this. But nobody is talking about that here. Why are you obsessed with the US?
The flightless birds you saw at the mall were emus not ostrich. It was difficult to see the turtles being painted like that. The paint can cause problems for turtles as they grow. First time I've seen your family. You all look very nice together.
No it isnt. Sry Americans sold them out in the 70s with the one china poiicy. We traded our worker for slave labor for cheap goods. Thank carter and kissenger
it always fascinates me to hear the average person in China sharing their perspective of what the US is like. I've heard a lot of different opinions, both very negative and very positive. It's just so interesting that there can be such a stark range!
I went to China last week for the first time in my life and it was a HUGE cultural shock! Many daily things are quite different to what I'm used to as an European. However, they're surely living in a whole different world when it comes to techs and such
@@Jay_in_Japan The interior of China is now more developed than the USA. You will not see the misery of West Virginia, the armed ignorance of Texas, or even the sad scene of poor people falling to the sidewalk due to drug addiction.
i dont usually comment on youtube videos but just wanted to say your weight loss transformation has been amazing, definitely can notice the work you been putting in. good on you
Glad Xiaoma is showing a positive side of China for a change. Lately online people have been gone from critiquing the government (rightfully) to just deriding the actual culture & people for some reason 😅 Like, it's one thing to call out the ccp, but this image online rising in popularity showing Chinese people as inferior or uncivilized is weird... Covert dog whistle type weird. Funnily enough it reminds me of when it became cool online to just rag on Americans. Not just the US government, but just compulsive American bashing for sport.
@@AndresGomez-ct7qb The CCP actively calls all criticism of state policies sinophobic and deflects onto minority of comments being racist to smear the greater voice calling out the CCP for their injustices against the Chinese people they purport to serve but actually oppress Most sentiments against China are borne from their warmongering in the SChina Sea, their violations of international trade regulations like their usage of slave labor and their support of petty dictatorships like Russia and NKorea among numerous other issues from issues of religious suppression of various native groups across Nepal, Tibet, Laos, Vietnam, and I could list like 15 other Asian nations in that region affected by China including even nuclear superpowers such as India. If Russia in WW3 is to WW2 as Nazi Germany, then China will be its Axis ally Italy in the coming war against the Allied powers that are NATO (primarily US, UK, FR, AU, SK and potentially a few Eastern European states such as Poland)
I think the part I enjoyed most was the kid's learning areas in the mall, like the kid's coding (piano tutoring, etc.) place. Honestly wish more places had those but I can understand that maybe they're also not that profitable and are probably partnered with institutions so they can stay open

28:57 thank you for posting honestly. Chinese people are wonderfully friendly. The government has major issues. You've subtly pointed out what's happening censorship wise without making a big deal out of it and still shared a largely positive experience. Thank you
If you think america is the land of the free you must not know much
@@melozgul8164America obviously has a lot of issues just like any other country but they definitely don't have the heavy level of censorship that China does. "Free press" doesn't really exist in China, which is a big issue
Why can't we all just get along? Thanks for bringing our nations and globe together with your videos bro. You're doing great in bringing out the best in humanity. I've garnered a much deeper understanding and respect for cultures because of the unity in learning cultural languages. Keep it up.
Ari your little ones are so cute,thanks for sharing.❤
Might be the best video about china I have seen ever (and trust me after 5 years learning Chinese so far and thousands of videos about it it’s quite an achievement 😂)
I knid of feel that the malls in Australia and US don't compete that well with the Chinese malls. The cars, the VR, the tech, arcades, kids experiences, robotics, the experience in general doesn't match what we all have.... Bernie in Sydney
American malls are dying, online shopping has killed most of them off unless it's for super high end goods where you get all sorts of attention.
that's because the self-control here in the states would not allow the nice things to exist. we have "children" here that would destroy those nice things because they have no training about other people things and how to treat them.
Not even close bro.China is way ahead of us
China is insanely impressive.. so so cool!
This was so cool and interesting! thanks for sharing!
all these years xiaoma seemed never grow older (and even get cuter), even with 2 kids to raise, amazing! (and jealous)
Massive respect Xiaoma! Love your videos boss :) Beautiful family my guy, be safe out there and have fun :D
15:46 That's so nice of them, nobody would do this or even think of it where i'm from.
Thanks for the tour! Greetings from sunny northwestern Minnesota 😊
Great Video. Your ability to speak so many languages Fluently is Astounding!
Those cars would absolutely destroy the US market if sold here for those prices. The US auto market needs to be more like them. No one in their right mind should be paying $90+ for a Tesla
Agreed, they will not allow Americans to buy affordable auto's. We get to pay 5-10x more here.
I mean, urban car commutes are still being promoted in both countries so...both are arguably stuck in the 20th c, no one should be forced to pay 1000s of $ for an urban veh to begin with
North America needs better public transport, not more cars.
While I agree car companies need to start making and selling affordable EV's, you should do some research about the Chinese EV's. The biggest thing is that they could never be sold here with our DOT regulations and health and safety laws. Because of the corruption that permeates all aspects of Chinese society, they are quite dangerous. I've seen so many videos of brand new unsold EV's burning down on the lot, batteries exploding in accidents, cruise control 'auto-pilot' causing accidents, airbags not deploying in crashes and killing people, the electronic locks and door handles not operating after a crash and the occupants burning to death, etc. Let alone the quality of the parts and build quality/QC of the car itself. I think the biggest indicator is, why were there so few ICE car companies historically, and why do the majority of people drive non-Chinese cars...
Tesla's biggest market is China. Agree with having China's cars available in the US but it's not a Tesla problem it's the legacy automakers that put the brakes on that.
These videos give me some kind of existential dread. Like the world is so big and full of different things, it would take many lifetimes to explore it all, and by that time, where you started would be completely different. So strange.
That was amazing! Thank you for that tour!
China is amazing. So different from what I assumed it would be. I will never see it In person, but I'm glad to see you and your family enjoy it. Technology is pretty wild over there.
Great video - love your content especially when visiting China.
China is the future and already dominates the world.
Very interesting to observe more developed places.
I really appreciate how you always give us a view into places that many of us have never seen and have misconceived notions about. ❤
Wow, Chinese malls are so family oriented, amazing 😊
The painting of the turtle shells upset me. Growing up, I use to keep some as pets. Their shells are very sensitive, they can feel all over them like we can our skin
Stop eating meat, it's cruel.
@@Daniel-xp8ctfalse equivalence, try harder ai bot
@@ChocolateFishBrains Yes, it is a false equivalence. Being sadistic and murdering an animal for pleasure is much worse than painting a turtle's shell.
@@Daniel-xp8ct There's a massive difference between animals being mistreated and animals being raised for consumption.
@@Daniel-xp8ct let me guess ur also on your 3rd jab?
24:07 _when your_ *CAR* _spots a low-social-credit-person_
The UI on those electric cars looks just like the Tesla UI lol.
They are superior cars to Tesla's in every way.
Tesla is a rip-off westernised junk food car compared to these OGs
@@AngelEllena insane bot take
@@rush2sk8 tell that to Tesla using BYD batteries on their cars. Westard
This is a great video Xiaoma!! Thanks for taking us with you on this tour..It's utterly amazing to see the level of technology over there, and the train system with food readily delivered when you arrive!!!!?😯😳...Waaaay beyond what we have here..Frankly I can't see us getting to that level over here, seriously! That said, also interesting to see the restrictions at the book mart...wow!
Ari, you are probably too busy to read my comment. I have been a fan since you started your YT career. I haven't commented before until now. I have to say of all the vids you created this is hands down the best. You are by far the best content creator in my opinion. Good job sir!
As an Australian I can safely say “Bruh doesn’t even know about mah Emu’s” 😊
You look way healthier these days than many years back. Good for you.
7:10 Those are Emu's actually. Not as big and tall as Ostriches, although they can run fast if their let free.
I was fixing to say that, also crazy they have them on display cause they’re quite dangerous, watch out for the talons 👀 china is wild! You only catch those in Australia really WTH are they doing there lmao
@@TravFletch Hmm. I would have no clue why they're on display. I guess some people in China do thing's differently from other countries that would be illegal. It's like with Sugar Gliders in Australia which are suppose to be wild animals that are now "Pets" for some people to have.
I loved this style of video! You exploring WITH your family is awesome! Hopefully you do more countries and more remote locations like this. Great stuff!
Poor animals man
i thought the same thing ... the turtle painted shells ... really bad for them .. that's just one thing.
The situation in the American food industry is worse, believe me. Or better yet, do some research and you'll see.
@@Daniel-xp8ct What makes you think I'm from America ? And we're discussing what is in this video.
@@fallen123gb Lucky you if you don't live there.
@@Daniel-xp8ct you are copy pasting this in every comment talking about the poor treatment of those animals.
Cool, the food industry (not just in the US btw) imcan be cruel to animals. Everyone knows this. But nobody is talking about that here. Why are you obsessed with the US?
Love your “I Love New Jersey” t-shirt!!
Thank you so much. You are introducing Chinese culture, to a largely ignorant western world. Educational, and entertaining. Well presented as always.
Dude youve lost so much weight i haven't seen you pop up since covid! youre out here crushing it good for you man!
Insane, thanks for the video!
Your wife is absolutely amazing. Can she be in more of your videos. Keep up the amazing content thank you.
The flightless birds you saw at the mall were emus not ostrich. It was difficult to see the turtles being painted like that. The paint can cause problems for turtles as they grow. First time I've seen your family. You all look very nice together.
you Don't no what kind paint it is
OMGaah! Every single second of this film was completely insane. Amazing. I will start studying Chinese.
Taiwan is a Free & Independent country!❤️🇹🇼
Hell yea! I love Chinese people, chinese history and chinese culture, but I certainly DONT love the CCP
No it isnt. Sry Americans sold them out in the 70s with the one china poiicy. We traded our worker for slave labor for cheap goods. Thank carter and kissenger
They also lost the civil war
How to never be see again any percent Speedrun.
🚨loser alert🚨
it always fascinates me to hear the average person in China sharing their perspective of what the US is like. I've heard a lot of different opinions, both very negative and very positive. It's just so interesting that there can be such a stark range!
I've been to that book market in Beijing. The market itself is really interesting
Dude America is great but we are falling behind in so many things. China looks so cool
Oh those poor animals. Don’t support that
He lost weight . Looks handsome lol . Like Christopher Reeves when he smiles .
I went to China last week for the first time in my life and it was a HUGE cultural shock! Many daily things are quite different to what I'm used to as an European. However, they're surely living in a whole different world when it comes to techs and such
Did you see the countryside? 😂
Yes, Europe, if it wants to develop, must necessarily orbit China.
Forget the decadent American empire, it has no future.
@@Jay_in_Japan The interior of China is now more developed than the USA.
You will not see the misery of West Virginia, the armed ignorance of Texas, or even the sad scene of poor people falling to the sidewalk due to drug addiction.
@@Daniel-xp8ct due to government neglect
@@jeffreygarcia2783 Yes, in China there is a real government.
Best vids on youtube believe it or not
8:02 poor animals
agree
Would you say that if it were Japan, cause they have that too.
Well that's wrong in every country they do that
Will you say the same about Pigs, Chickens , and Cows sent to the slaughterhouse in western countries?
Animals are treated better than homeless people in US
Best video yet. Makes me want to visit China. My son is actually in Japan for two weeks right now.
Japan and Korea are much nicer. China unfortunately lacks a lot of regulation so experiences will vary.
i dont usually comment on youtube videos but just wanted to say your weight loss transformation has been amazing, definitely can notice the work you been putting in. good on you
Holy shit not gonna lie it’s been over a year since I watched one of your videos but bro damn u lost a lot of weight I’m happy for u bro
Bro you starting to look more like Henry cavill each video you post 😂
I love seeing videos of you and your family! Give us more please. This is amazing!
lol were those turtles plastidipped?
Very China
Bro your wife is cute and the kids are gorgeous. I like this family travel aesthetic 👍🏻
Glad Xiaoma is showing a positive side of China for a change.
Lately online people have been gone from critiquing the government (rightfully) to just deriding the actual culture & people for some reason 😅
Like, it's one thing to call out the ccp, but this image online rising in popularity showing Chinese people as inferior or uncivilized is weird... Covert dog whistle type weird.
Funnily enough it reminds me of when it became cool online to just rag on Americans. Not just the US government, but just compulsive American bashing for sport.
There are definitely aspects of modern Chinese culture worth criticizing
@@Jay_in_Japan Agreed.
But, simply pretending all things China are evil, that's just prejudice.
@@AndresGomez-ct7qb The CCP actively calls all criticism of state policies sinophobic and deflects onto minority of comments being racist to smear the greater voice calling out the CCP for their injustices against the Chinese people they purport to serve but actually oppress
Most sentiments against China are borne from their warmongering in the SChina Sea, their violations of international trade regulations like their usage of slave labor and their support of petty dictatorships like Russia and NKorea among numerous other issues from issues of religious suppression of various native groups across Nepal, Tibet, Laos, Vietnam, and I could list like 15 other Asian nations in that region affected by China including even nuclear superpowers such as India. If Russia in WW3 is to WW2 as Nazi Germany, then China will be its Axis ally Italy in the coming war against the Allied powers that are NATO (primarily US, UK, FR, AU, SK and potentially a few Eastern European states such as Poland)
There's nothing secret, friend, it's blatant Sinophobia prejudice. Hatred fueled by the American political class.
Frfr, if one have never lived in the country, they have no credibility (*ahem usa)
Thanks for showing us people on the other side of the planet. Loved the mall with all the books, true
censorship as to what you may read.
7:00 Looks to be an Emu
✅
I think the part I enjoyed most was the kid's learning areas in the mall, like the kid's coding (piano tutoring, etc.) place. Honestly wish more places had those but I can understand that maybe they're also not that profitable and are probably partnered with institutions so they can stay open
China is futuristic.
"Stand still on this vibrating board to lose weight" - China
Arieh, I got to say your wife has such a soft a nice voice. I feel like my Chinese would be better if my wife's voice was that soft haha
Now walk around in a Disney t-shirt with pooh on it and see how fast you get arrested.
Love the videos like this!
