Thank you Kevin. That was most enlightening. I was traveling within Vietnam just last year and i found the Northern part, around Hanoi and up further to be very similar to how you are showing Northern China to be. And yes, the people are also quite friendly and approachable and crime is practically non-existent too. I enjoyed this video Kevin, nice and relaxing to view.
Absolutely beautiful presentation. I especially appreciate your varied perspective showing the many sides of China as represented in that place. Thanks, Ronn.
Thank you for this very interesting, beautiful and poetic documentary. 👍🏻 China definitely is a fascinating country with such a rich history and culture. I would love to visit it.
Thank you for creating this. I loved it. Disregard the comments of those who are anti Chinese. I love Chinese culture and tend to agree with you. In a way we are mislead about China. Take what is said with a grain of salt. Nothing is perfect. Western society or Eastern society we all have a lot of work to do to make a eutopian society. Peace♥
A regime that is actively carrying out a genocide, uses rape as a form of torture and constantly encroaches on most its' neighbours' borders. Yeah pretty far from perfect I'd say...
Wonderful video. My friend Brett and her friend are currently visiting China and Tibet for 3 1/2 weeks this month. So nice to see how advanced China is becoming in these past 20 years. Cheers.
It's very interesting to see a perspective of Canadian person to China's town to me as a Russian person. Something seem familiar like squeaky clean malls and somewhat dirty markets, and something somewhat foreign like fast-food restaurants. This is a very beautiful video, with aesthetic of greenery and concrete, with a bright sun in a great blue sky (9:16) and cloudy days, traditions (19:40) and novelty . All of this kind of reminds me of my city and seem different at the same time. Very beautiful
I visited china some 30 years ago during a trip around Southeast Asia and Hong Kong. China put its hooks into me, it’s hard to explain. I absolutely love the entire country and its people like no other. Thank you for the video trip.
The England of the East, a place where the people are just good country folk but the government and big businesses are brutal. My warmest wishes, luck of the Irish spirit, and compassion goes out to the true ancient and rural Chinese culture bought, sold, seized, and mutilated by their childish leaders at the mercy of the world who only watched and took advantage of their crumblings. Shame.
I lived not far, in Changchun, for several years. It’s hard for people to understand what China is truly like unless you spend years there in places outside the Tier 1 cities. I enjoyed my time there and learned a lot about different cultures and lifestyles. Thanks for reminding me of my time over there.
28:05 what West have you been to??? That's basically every European town and city... And Europe is also safe (admittedly excluding the biggest western cities), especially Eastern Europe.
I think you’re largely addressing criticisms of China from 20+ years ago. It’s well known that China isn’t communist anymore, and that it’s rapidly developing. That’s not why they have a bad reputation in the west. It’s because they’re an authoritarian single party regime with an expansionist ideology. I’d rather have a government that’s slow to act but allows me to be critical of it than one that can build trains quickly but blocks Wikipedia and aspires to own the entire South China Sea.
Fantastic take. The issues with China are plain to see for anyone with eyes. You can't speak ill of China with family living there, however, and he mentions his in-laws living there around the 2 minute mark. Unfortunate.
China has a bad reputation in the West because the US started seeing them as becoming competition about 20 years ago. There are ways we can't compete with China and instead of doing what we're good at, we've been stoking global tensions while China filled the global development gap. The US has made serious mistakes in the past 16-17 years. Hopefully we'll be able to get through our current shit storm of precarity and foster better cooperation with the 3 great powers in Asia.
@@Brokentwobutton it’s just silly to say that the US is responsible for stoking tensions while China builds islands and rams ships in the South China Sea in support of their illegal claims. China will never have positive relations with the west as long as they retain their irredentist ambitions over Taiwan and the SCS.
You, obviously, don't know your neighbourhood, so to say ... Who told you you don't live in a one party system?.... You dont want to evaporate in a second in a nuclear war ?...me neither Tell me what are your "democratic" plans as a citizen of a "democracy" ,to avoid it ?... In other words, apart from blah blah, what power do we have against the psychopathic plans of the owners of the west.?....
@@Brokentwobutton It's not competition on any level, it's common knowledge if you flip ANYTHING over you'll see the U.S. has no issue with doing it's business in or with China. I think what you mean to say or atleast the more logical solution is it's cold war anxiety left over from today. However when it does come to actual "competition" There's a reason Irish and Latino workers immigrate around the world and make up many crews- they're truly the ones who give the West it's durability in construction. The west will always surpass in its paint, carpentry, and electrical standards. always innovative with safer yet artisan ideals.
Thank you for the content. DO NOT graze over negative comments. Simply apply your own judgement. If you start to censor what’s here, then this work was for nothing.
@@Hippiechick11 Remember how the U.S. had a stigma towards other people just because their culture was different or their religion was different and we had a huge movement in the 50s-60s to change that? China, according to any kind Chinese folk who have come to Boston for shelter or college, has stated how China is still going through an age of governmental racism between different groups and camps for Muslims. Do not assume any dislike from westerners is inherited hate. We give em a stigma for being a nation where liberty is limited.
@@Hippiechick11 There are many cases of human rights violation on behalf of businesses, enough where many have anti suicide nets and abusive workplaces.

Thanks for the video. I've been to a couple places in China so far but it was a long time ago. My 1st trip was Beijing, 2nd Hong Kong & Taiwan on the same trip 3rd was Shanghai. I also went on a long trip & saw a lot of places in Fujian, Hunan & Sichuan. I still have a lot to go but the way the world is over there I don't think it will be for a while sadly to say.
I understand maybe this was made under duress or fear, but it is very sad to see. Chinese culture will always be a fantastic thing and I greedily hunger for any and all information I can find on it, but the government that rules over this population is never a friend to those who love culture, freedom of information, or freedom of knowledge. I will stay because your past videos have been greatly sourced, edited, and written, and I also understand you are not the Chinese government, sometimes we must do what needs be done for those we love. Hoping for more balanced, well sourced, and well written content in the future. Take care.
@@shannongrogan605 Pretty sure it's grammatics. If I am not wrong, the right sentence structure should be "my family and wife is from" The verb always goes in the last noun
@@Uriel_V_Blackwood Because there is a lot of crime in China and there are a lot of homeless, and this is well established by now. He mentions his trips because his wife Chinese. He can't really say anything against the party line cos they will actually go to her house (or her parent's) and threaten them, or maybe exit ban him straight up. So if he wants to keep going back with his wife to visit her parents he will keep schtum. These are their tactics. Also be aware of the dancing minorities. This heavily curated version of China is opposite that of reality. Homelessness and oppression is rampant. If you are curious for the uncurated version check out SerpentZA and Laowhy86.
Im disappointed at how dismissive of the Uighers you were in the video... 😢 I know it must be difficult to give a balanced view with family there when you need to stay on the right side of authorities but would you not have had more integrity if you just didn't bother mentioning them at all?
@@LesNouvelle-Angleterreur I have not, I must admit. I do not mean to be dismissive of the culture. One cannot escape the fact that it is still ruled by an Authoritarian dictatorship with a caustic ideology that has killed more people over history than any other (by a long shot). If you follow developments in China and how State propaganda works, there are some tell tale signs here that all is not right in the state of Fortress of Lugh. Understandable given that he needs to maintain access to family. But it stinks of state propaganda/a state mandated video/a video made under duress. Great channel on the whole, I just cringe when I hear the bit about Uighers.
Carbon is an essenciel part of life. The more we try to remove Carbon the less Veg life will exist. The more Carbon the MORE VEG life. I am sorry to burst your bubble. But CO2 is LIFE!!!!!!!
Thats why I always leave my CO2 detector off and talk regularly with my family I if we feel light headed or dizzy to just have some water, do a few deep breathes and go back to bed.

It was good to see the other side of China and not the media style China. Great work.
Exactly!
In any case, it’s nice to get a (western) insiders view of one small part of such a massive country. Thanks 🙏

There are also shale quakes and mass burials, but wow things looks different, still remembers skating on those rivers during winter
I wish I able to finish seeing this video sooner. Civilizations have layers, that is the lesson I've learned from this
Apsolutely amazing! 👏🏻
Definitely a unique look at China. I am happy to see a different perspective. I don't agree with it all but I appreciate diversity of perspectives.
Very interesting, thank you 🙏
Thank you for this breath of fresh air. Really nice to see a place that is thriving and healthy.
I found this quite fascinating. I enjoyed the personalization. I haven't really seen that in your other stuff. Keep up the great work and thanks!
For the algorithm!❤
Ya, it sure killed this video unfortunately. Such a shame.
That is a pretty cool story.
You lucky guy. Learning and seeing is believing
Thank you from Australia. It was so helpful to see just a small insight into a long association with China as a personal story. ❤
