+TheSecretGamer 765 True. I think it depends more on education, not age directly. We have same kind of difference in opinions by age on many things here in Ukraine and Russia. Fewer people that could afford/be arsed to get higher education means that on average older generation think the way that old lady does: "them yanks, and the enemy of my enemy is my friend".
Isaac Arroyo, what on earth are you talking about? In one sentence he explains there is really nothing China can do to influence North Korea. 2 minutes later he says that China would have its influence in the region disrupted by a US presence in NK. He is talking out both sides of his mouth. Either they have influence, in which case they should use it, or they don't have influence and have nothing to lose if the US goes in and solves the problem. It cannot be both. That's not wisdom, my friend.
I don't agree with everything he said. But I liked how he had strong opinions and wasn't afraid of holding back to be "politically correct" and "nice" about the situation. He was asked his opinions and gave them without hesitating and I respect that.
TofeldianSage It's not a simple yes or no question. It could be the case that he thought China has limited influence or he thought China had influence sometimes but don't other times. Also the interview might be edited so his answer seemed confusing
Raidiar that is not true. North korea has enough artillery at hte border that a preemptive strike is too risky. Other factors are the paramotors north korea has on hte border for stealth attacks. VX nerve agent, which a drop or 2 can kill. China seems willing to defend as well. They do not need more deterrence to prevent the US from intervening .
Really shows me that you should face reality! She is talking about Kim Jung Un actions in reality, he will continue to develop nukes since he will be killed otherwise!
There is a night and day difference between the two. The extremely poor Chinese probably eat better than a majority of North Koreans, you should read some of the books written by defectors, and those who have spent time in NK on humanitarian missions.
She old school af, shes from a different time, when NK and China were strong communist allies. It doesn't surprise me at all she supports NK in that way.
I strongly suggest that you have a more accurate translation...some sentences were translated inappropriately, and some are absolutely wrong and can be misleading.
Like what?? Please tell. When I come across inaccurate/untrue captions in the languages that I speak I always ask content creators to make their translated captions more accurate/true because I want to hear people's words as their real words. That's very important to me. I don't speak any kind of Chinese at all so I don't even know where the captions aren't accurate. Can you accurately translate, please?
I would say the opposite. In China the information available to the general populous is extremely limited, thats not saying that they aren't intelligent its just that they have limited knowledge of the real factors happening in the world outside of China. In the US as citizens we have American biases its true but a lot of Americans at the same time don't because they have access to vast amounts of diverse information, at but a click away. With that vast information we can make our own views and opinions based off real world facts. Because we can compare multiple sources of information to learn what the truth of situations is. Chinese citizens on the other hand don't have that kind of access, what they get is extremely limited and only what the government approves to be seen, they may seem self-aware but its mainly manufractured opinions the Chinese government creates. Their is a reason China has the 'Great Firewall' in place, it needs to control its population rigidly because if it didn't China would face mass civil unrest and most likely revolts across the country. If they stopped their mass censorship the country wouldn't remain unified past 2050. Ideas are dangerous, that is why China has heavy censorship and strict limits on their citizens ability to live and move throughtout the country.
Alex Aurelian I think it’s the Babylon Tower which makes so many troubles n misunderstandings LOL. Sorry dude but I don’t agree with ur opinions. Why on earth do u think we can get just limited knowledge of real world? Just like what am I doing now is browsing UA-cam and insta. As a person lived in Europe for several years, I know how western media report us, and as Chinese I know how our media judge western. The truth is never believe in medias, but ur judgements from critical thinking. Yes Most of us know we suck at “freedom of speech” but most westerners don’t know they wear the Emperor ‘s new suit pretending to know the real world n actually live in a wonderland pictured by CNN or BBC whatever
just like the election in US, you can see tons of negative news about Trump but nothing on Clinton. US people has the best media to provide the most objective information. I got it!
Well she isn't exactly wrong, it is in Kim's best interest to continue to develop, you see what US does to countries that concede with nukes instead of opposing US? They clearly won't use peaceful means!
Raidiar, still showing your ignorance on how the world works. Sometimes it's better to be quite and thought a fool, than to open your mouth and prove that you are one.
Your US daddy has set up military forces and SAAD in your country, which is right at the doorway of china. How does it make you feel? PEACE? u must be joking. China won't let go of North Korea and will try all out to intercept the process of unification of North and South.
That old woman needs to be given her own youtube show. She's hilarious! I completely disagree with everything she said, but she wouldn't give a shit anyway.
Felix Korlos If America, China, and Russia were completely out of the picture South Korea would not want to live under the communist system, and especially not under the Kim dynasty. The Kims hate South Korea and would not live under their system, and would never relinquish power. Reunification is not going to happen regardless. Any real attempt would start a heated civil war. Technically, they are still in a civil war for control.
Felix Korlos Yea im sure thats why everyone is trying to escape from north korea, because they really want to live under his rule. Who are you kidding?
Her credibility ends when she said, "the Yanks can have nuclear weapons, but North Korea can't"....or when she said, "North Korea needs nuclear weapons to protect itself"...US is as likely to attack the Chinese satellite state of North Korea as China is likely to attack US's ally South Korea..
Listen to the old lady, she's right, he will keep building those weapons. They did it in the past, they will do it in the future. People in power love these nuclear weapons because if gives them a sense of power and if you have them you are part of the big bullies.
美国鬼子, literal translation as American devil or demon, it was more used during the Korea War era, people live through that time still got it embeded in mind, young people don't use it at all or only in purpose of making a joke
That's not a racial slur since American is not a race or ethnicity. You can call it "national slur" though. But it is actually not that derogatory. Less derogatory that "Yanks" in English I would say.
It is exactly how it is written in Chinese, but not necessarily being beautified or sarcastic, like in Japanese America is written as 米国, but it doesn't mean you are rice country. Each Chinese characters has its meaning but when come to name translation, we often only use its sounding part that can represents some syllables in the original English name. The interesting thing is several European countries and USA do get a pretty genteel character to represent their name rather than a more neutral one, I personally suppose that's because when the name first got translated in Chinese society in 18th or 19th century was done either by some Chinese scolars that like America or by some Chinese speaking American missionaries that self gifted themselves these fancy charaters.
@@Menion98 yup same with McDonald's or Walmart if you translate it back Into English you wouldnt get McDonald's nor Walmart, but a lump of random words
This is why they say "with age comes wisdom", old people like her actually experienced what it was like to be threatened by nuclear holocaust (since she's Chinese, she came close to nuclear annihilation by both the US AND Soviets, a pleasure not many in the world had the opportunity to enjoy). Of course she isn't going to have a completely ignorant and spoon-fed "opinion" like kids these days that weren't even born when the cold war ended and then learned what they are supposed to think from grade 8 textbooks.
FireRaccoon Experience is important, but age does not guarantee wisdom. There's some old people that are just outright fools. Unfortunately, some have literally lost their mind.
Yeah they still wouldn't be ok with that... the only reason North Korea leaves the south alone is because they know the US will curb stomp them into oblivion if they do try something. China wants a buffer thats all they care about, as long as they aren't being threatened by North Korea they could careless what happens there. The North Koreans could literally execute 1,000 people everyday right on the Chinese border in full view of a everyone they wouldn't care. Heck even if they did it right in front of a Chinese city straddling the Yalu river, doing it in full view just across the water and making sure to personally shoot each person in th back of the head one at a time, the Chinese government still wouldn't bat an eyelash. If Korea did unify they still wouldn't except them even if the US pulled their troops and influence out of it because that would still create a large economic and military power right on their border. There is a reason they invaded then occuppied then annexed Inner Mongolia and Tibet, they don't want any threat near their borders.
@@alexaurelian8024Tibet and Inner Mongolia have been parts of China since Ming Dynasty. If you look back at the history of World War Two, you will find out that the country Mongolia today was divided from China(Republic of China at that time).
I know it's a touchy one, but you guys have got to do some Taiwan related videos. "What Chinese think of Taiwan, What Taiwanese think of China." Could be intensely insightful.
Did the old lady say sth. wrong? why can't u guys more tolerant to her? i don't think she said wrong, because US has the best nuclear weapons in the world and US like to interfere in internal affairs of other countries. From Kim's angle the US is too aggressive.
The Americans must stop interfering with South Korea and the Chinese should stop supporting North Korea...... It should always be Between North and South to figure it out themselves or America and china should discuss together on this to put an end to this dictatorship in North Korea..... N korean people have suffered enough.......
this was a wonderful demonstration of how informed and varied the opinions are among Chinese people. as an American I see too often people assuming that the Chinese have no freedom of speech or thought due to the censorship and control of their government
Cameron yeah that was very foolish especially for someone older. You think she would understand that north Korea getting what the leader wants would be catastrophic for her life
The view by older Chinese in this video is pretty short sighted. North Korea is more likely to launch a nuke against Tokyo than Seoul. Japan knows this. Their nuclear technology is very advanced. They are a screwdriver turn from having nuclear weapons. South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan probably already have nuclear weapons. They have the technology, but politically have decided not too. North Korea is destabilizing the region and nuclear weapons are proliferating because of North Korea. Does China really want Japan to have nukes?
I'm Chinese and I think that old lady really needs to watch more news about NK now. Anyways, Us gov't asked China gov't to take care NK problem, however, US held military training with SK at the same time, which makes the situation more intense. It's like China tried to put out the fire, but US gov't keep pouring gasoline into the fire, and still blame China didn't do the work. That's ridiculous. I can say if SK have a war against NK, China definitely won't touch it. However, if US would send troops to NK and intervene the war, China won't let it happen. Just like the last Korean war. So the Korean peninsula problem will definitely be solved much easier if US not intervene it, and the situation will be less complicated. It just should be the problem only between NK and SK.
This is so fucking dumb. The US is helping out SK so much against NK because they do NOT want SK and Japan developing their own nukes to counter NK which they keep on threatening to do! It's been proven that both countries have the expertise and capability to build nukes now, they just haven't because of the US. You want to talk about gasoline on a fire? How about the ENTIRE REGION FULL OF NUKES? Do you seriously want that????
If someone constantly fires missiles at you and threatens to nuke your country, then having regular Military training to defend yourself with allies is just common sense. The only reason why north korea still exists today is because of china. If china stopped supporting them and putting up with their crazy shit then south koreas military dependency on america will also become redundant.
Martin Brodel Look at the difference between north korea and south korea today and you get the answer. North korea does not care about its own people at all. All their money is used on weapon development at the cost of starving its people just so kim can remain as a dictator. This is not 1950. Soviet union does not exist anymore. Russia and china has no business in the Korean Peninsula. America is concerned because America is being directly threatened by north korea. On the contrary, south korea does not threaten russia or china, they actually have relatively good relations today. For china, economic ties and good relationships with south korean and america, which are some of their most significant trade partners is far more important than getting into a messy war trying to protect north korea as a buffer. Is china going to risk their own prosperity and peace for a crazy hermit buffer? That is really questionable.
I see what your saying, the only problem is that Korea and Japan will probably be in the mix and both of them (if not just Japan) can't exclude the US at that point because due to their relations they are already involved... I feel like this could be resolvable if by some out of who-knows-what miracle, the relationship between the US and China could become a better/more than adequate. Though that seems so impossible...
Y’all asked the wrong questions. This is leaving so much out considering chinas role in North Korea and FREEING ITS PEOPLE WHO ARE IN A PERPETUAL HOLOCAUST. Where does the Kim regime get their resources from? Their oil? We need all hands on deck to stop the insanity that goes on there. The people of China and the people of the world need to care more about what is happening there.
The older women in the video is a great example of how far China has come in just two generations. It is obvious the youth is China is becoming more westernized, while the older people who were directly affected by WWII still hold grudges.
这是一些没有意义的汉字Abner So what point are you trying to make exactly? Plenty of chinese have negative opinions of America.. so what does pointing that out solve?
这是一些没有意义的汉字Abner You just want to add a negative spin to what Im saying which is that I hope our countries get along better. You probably do this reflexively am I right?
All of them have very good opinions but I like the old lady particularly when she said, "yes NK should test their nuclear weapons. The US has nuclear weapons. Why can't NK have one?"
The video is good, and I suggest you guys do videos on China more about other stuffs rather than politics. However, the comment section is intolerable that there are too many opinion manipulations, and these are subtle and passive-aggressive. Of course, no one will take my comment seriously because I am one from a communist country, right? What do I know. LOL
China has the same issue as the US. THERE'S A BUNCH OF SENILE PEOPLE IN POWER WITH VERY CONSERVATIVE VIEWS. It's up to our generation to start aggressively moving up the ladder.
Great video! Very interesting! You should ask them how they feel about the fact that China sends North Korean Defectors back to North Korea if they're caught in China. Would love to hear their thoughts on that, if they think it's good/bad etc.
I'm a Chinese and I may answer that, not just what I think but what Chinese government does. The North Korean government urges China to send back its defectors all the time. China agrees to the request and if South Korean government asks for the same, China will also respond accordingly. Pure diplomatic issues regarding trespassing. When China found out that some people were tortured or even killed after the repatriation, Chinese government brought up the demand that no one be killed as a precondition.
China neve care if other country are democratic or not. You can see China trade with, and also in good relation with both democratic country and autocratic ones, feudalistic ones. China regard the system as someone else's business, and China dont care or intervene.
At 7::32: "China is always trying to ease tension by arranging conferences;" and arranging, and arranging. China wants to keep the status quo, because it's in China's interest to do so. The last thing it want's is hungry North Koreans streaming across the border. However they have to APPEAR to be seeking a solution, so they keep endlessly arranging conferences. As the old cliche goes, "talk is cheap." Also, China cooperates witht the DPRK by arresting North Korean escapees and sending them back to torture and imprisonment, if not execution.
What the hell did she say that was wrong? If Kim does not develop nukes then yeah he will become another Sadam Hussein, and frankly that is worse than in position he is in now. How she like Mao just because she state the facts that Kim is smart and not going to bow to US and give up nuclear development?!
I think two young man among them are from Taiwan, according to their accent. Also they called north korea 北韩 rather than 朝鲜 as most Mainland people would say.
Now do this same interview today since NK just launched an ICBM that can now hit continental US. China and US will not war with each other. The US , South Korea and Japan happen to be in the top 4 of their trading partners. War with the US would have their economy collapse.
China US relations with North Korea: "You do something about it" "No YOU do something about it" At least they can both agree that they would rather not do anything about it :)
For a peaceful resolution both Koreas need to talk it out and leaving all geo-political and military interests of third parties (I look at you China, USA, Russia and Japan) out of the talk. What about the Panmunjon Declaration of 2018? So easily forgotten? I wonder
I bet when China was developing nuclear weapons it was thought as a threat as well. The fact is without nuclear weapon we wouldn't get where we are today. It is crucial. However, the sad thing is, there is no opening up in NK even after they have had nuclear weapons. There is also no improved livelihood for the people. It seems they are not trying to go with the path we set for them. Sad. I always thought NK should open for foregin investment, at least open to us Chinese in exchange for protection!
I find it really interesting that there was such a generational split. I don't know how representative the two elder commentators were of the general feelings of the Chinese of that generation, but they seemed to speak much more neutrally-to-almost admirably about Kim Jong Un and his regime's tactics. While the younger people seemed to feel that the regime is more destructive and provocative. The younger commentators also seemed to believe in China's responsibility and power to maintain peace in the region. In the end, they were right. American presence in North Korea would be in itself overly provocative and I empathize with their unwillingness to have heavy American presence right on their borders. I also feel that China has a responsibility to deal with Kim by virtue of the fact that China has propped them up all these years. The regime would have potentially collapsed with the 90s famine otherwise and who knows what kind of opportunities that could have opened up for the Korean Peninsula. The best balance for all four countries' interests was to have China work to contain the monster it is feeding, while South Korea and the US restrains its military presence and doesn't push beyond S Korea's borders. I'm frankly rather upset that Donald Trump is upsetting that balance recklessly to distract from his numerous domestic problems. I was surprised how much my own perception was aligned with most of the Chinese commentators.
For the Chinese saying he has no choice but to listen, is that why he hasn’t listened to China’s warnings at all? And in fact killed his uncle who was the ambassador to China?
The old lady has a point. Yankees shouldn't be the ones to say which country can or can not have military defense, especially when they have it themselves.
Interesting mix of conflicted opinions, and a reminder that of course 1.4 billion people aren't all going to believe the same thing. The broad strokes though are that they would all rather this was not happening (except maybe the older woman) and they certainly don't want a war.
The two guys are Taiwanese. They are not mainland Chinese at all. The political stance on both sides is quite different, like South Korea and North Korea. Is it not objective or ridiculous to represent the Chinese mainland with Taiwanese standpoints or opinions?
more about North Korea please...♥ What Do the American Think Of North Korea? What Do the Japan Think Of North Korea? What Do the South Korea Think Of North Korea? What Do the Australia Think Of North Korea? What Do the Britain Think Of North Korea? and..............the world..hahah
From their accent and some of the terms that they use it seems like the two guys in blue shirt are from taiwan though……………that explains there rather different opinion from other Chinese interviewees
JEFFREY ANG 洪 they used 北韩 instead of 朝鲜, which is the term mainland Chinese people tend to use. And also they say 亚（三声）洲， instead of 亚（四声）洲. That is another distinctive feature. There is more details that I’m not gonna put on one by one, but you will be able to find more of these little things in the video.
Monkey Lee If you travel a lot to southern China you should know what I mean. Even in Guangzhou, you cannot just label everyone as Hong Konger if you heard them use some HK.Cantonese slangs either Sometimes they inter influence each other.
I noted that as well but i don't think their opions are any different at all, certainly among various Chinese individuals many people would probably share the same idea as well.

they will all die through the next generations anyway
I don't see it vary much. They all admit China is North Korea's ally.
Peace Guard older generation see North Korea as brother, newer generation see North Korea as a buffer between China and US.
I think the old man is really wise. I really respect his opinion on the situation. He was pretty firm in his beliefs too, not really faltering.

You sure can tell the cultural revolution generation.
She is stating truth, you see what US do to Sadam? They will get damaged badly if they concede.
I was going to say something like that, too. You're absolutely correct.
ok look us obviously shouldnt go to war with NK, but that doesnt mean we should let them just test nukes all they want lol
Radial NK has had artillery aimed at Seoul since the signing of the armistice that have deterred America. They don't need nukes.
Raidiar that is not true. North korea has enough artillery at hte border that a preemptive strike is too risky. Other factors are the paramotors north korea has on hte border for stealth attacks. VX nerve agent, which a drop or 2 can kill. China seems willing to defend as well. They do not need more deterrence to prevent the US from intervening .

What a great idea! These street interviews are very informative to westerners like myself. Keep up the good work.
You guys should make a video of what mainland Chinese think about Taiwan Chinese people.
or Hong Kong chinese people.
I think vice versa would be more interesting! What Taiwanese Chinese think about Mainland Chinese
If the government's hardline is they are ours, would Chinese citizens say different?
If Asian Boss take film with that and launch on UA-cam, Chinese Gong-An(police) will find him and guess you know what will happen after all.

no unification for Korea if American are still near the Chinese border.

100 pa taiwanese
His accent also sounds Taiwan
He use 飞弹 and 北韩
100 percent the accent too
the old lady is right!
If America and China worked closely together on many issues we could lead the world in so many positive ways. If only
"Kim Jong-un doesn't give a shit about the talk" - that lady is right on the money.
Listen to the old lady, she's right, he will keep building those weapons. They did it in the past, they will do it in the future. People in power love these nuclear weapons because if gives them a sense of power and if you have them you are part of the big bullies.

The interesting thing is several European countries and USA do get a pretty genteel character to represent their name rather than a more neutral one, I personally suppose that's because when the name first got translated in Chinese society in 18th or 19th century was done either by some Chinese scolars that like America or by some Chinese speaking American missionaries that self gifted themselves these fancy charaters.

+Pyro-Nexus Hello :)
The old lady is kinda taking it easily, but what she says is not false. Its like casual talk not actual serious talk if you guys are thinking that...
This is why they say "with age comes wisdom", old people like her actually experienced what it was like to be threatened by nuclear holocaust (since she's Chinese, she came close to nuclear annihilation by both the US AND Soviets, a pleasure not many in the world had the opportunity to enjoy).
Of course she isn't going to have a completely ignorant and spoon-fed "opinion" like kids these days that weren't even born when the cold war ended and then learned what they are supposed to think from grade 8 textbooks.
to think that a dictatorship country ruled through extremism is not going to threaten world peace by testing nukes is bullshit.
FireRaccoon
Experience is important, but age does not guarantee wisdom. There's some old people that are just outright fools. Unfortunately, some have literally lost their mind.
FireRaccoon I think the perfect description for the old lady would be "with age comes dementia."
Jason Peng and country with democracy ruled with warmonger is also the same threat. Just look at how many countries the US invaded.
if SK unify the Korean peninsula someday, it's okay to China. just make sure the US army leave and Korean army no longer lead by US
Yeah they still wouldn't be ok with that... the only reason North Korea leaves the south alone is because they know the US will curb stomp them into oblivion if they do try something. China wants a buffer thats all they care about, as long as they aren't being threatened by North Korea they could careless what happens there. The North Koreans could literally execute 1,000 people everyday right on the Chinese border in full view of a everyone they wouldn't care. Heck even if they did it right in front of a Chinese city straddling the Yalu river, doing it in full view just across the water and making sure to personally shoot each person in th back of the head one at a time, the Chinese government still wouldn't bat an eyelash. If Korea did unify they still wouldn't except them even if the US pulled their troops and influence out of it because that would still create a large economic and military power right on their border. There is a reason they invaded then occuppied then annexed Inner Mongolia and Tibet, they don't want any threat near their borders.
@@alexaurelian8024Tibet and Inner Mongolia have been parts of China since Ming Dynasty. If you look back at the history of World War Two, you will find out that the country Mongolia today was divided from China(Republic of China at that time).
I know it's a touchy one, but you guys have got to do some Taiwan related videos. "What Chinese think of Taiwan, What Taiwanese think of China." Could be intensely insightful.
As a mainland Chinese, i think people living in Taiwan live in u, the media makes them stupid.

唇亡齿寒，保卫朝鲜，中国从明朝就这政策。
但為什麼我們不可以通過這件事，強硬一點，主動制裁朝鮮，從而跟韓國處好關係呢？還能削弱美在亞太的影響。
@@chogaemun3754目前局势不太可能。因为韩国的军事都是被美国控制的。除非韩国军事独立，跟中国搞好关系，别说制裁朝鲜，帮你们统一国家都有可能。
@@chogaemun3754还有一个质的不同就是中国在朝鲜没有军事基地，而美国在韩国有。所以中国制裁不了朝鲜，不过美国倒是随时可以制裁韩国。
@@chogaemun3754 因为韩国有美国驻军。半岛统一了，美国人把军队驻扎在鸭绿江边上怎么办？什么时候美国从亚太离开，什么时候再来和中国谈判。中国已经把美军从越南，菲律宾和台湾地区赶走了，剩下的就是解决日韩美军的问题了。所以说，中央政府是很有能力的。能通过谈判施压让美国从台湾撤军并断交这个世界上找不到第二个。

I don't like that old lady. She's rude. It's not our fault what our leaders do. A lot of us are good people; we don't deserve that aggression.
Please do a video asking Japanese people on the streets their thoughts on the Japanese whaling industry. Thanks
David T janpanese usually say i don't know much,sorry
the answer will be "really? I don't know. I have no idea (stop asking me awkward questions!)"
what do you want to know? the food process or the ingredients that go with the whale sashimi?
Whales are delicious
Did the old lady say sth. wrong? why can't u guys more tolerant to her? i don't think she said wrong, because US has the best nuclear weapons in the world and US like to interfere in internal affairs of other countries. From Kim's angle the US is too aggressive.
That older Chinese lady is awesome!
awesome my ass, she's ignorant racist idiot
The old lady just trolling .still people are take too seriously lol
She will never gonna serious on any topics anyway she is just typical tough old housewife anyway.
define awesome
She is the master troll on youtube. Lame trolls should learn from her.
The Americans must stop interfering with South Korea and the Chinese should stop supporting North Korea...... It should always be Between North and South to figure it out themselves or America and china should discuss together on this to put an end to this dictatorship in North Korea..... N korean people have suffered enough.......
This channel is very important and relevant! Great work and please keep it up👍
this was a wonderful demonstration of how informed and varied the opinions are among Chinese people. as an American I see too often people assuming that the Chinese have no freedom of speech or thought due to the censorship and control of their government
You should thank your government for political propaganda.
Indeed, I criticize the Chinese government all the time, yet here I am, still alive. Same with my family!
那个说北韩的呵呵🤭岛民暴露身份了，还要跨过日本领空，奥我知道了因为日本是你们第一祖国所以比较担心
That old lady on the bench was a boss
J C her I don't agree with her views on nuclear testing
Cameron yeah that was very foolish especially for someone older. You think she would understand that north Korea getting what the leader wants would be catastrophic for her life
The bitch has no problem North Korea nuking USA...but she's worried about her river getting polluted!!!
She is a senile imbecile, probably how old ladies in Japan were talking during WW2 before USA obliterated them
She is an old commie bastard ... I don't think Japanese old ladies were like that at all.
NK just launched another missile in East Sea!
Really? When did that happen? I haven't checked today's news.
So?
The view by older Chinese in this video is pretty short sighted. North Korea is more likely to launch a nuke against Tokyo than Seoul. Japan knows this. Their nuclear technology is very advanced. They are a screwdriver turn from having nuclear weapons. South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan probably already have nuclear weapons. They have the technology, but politically have decided not too. North Korea is destabilizing the region and nuclear weapons are proliferating because of North Korea. Does China really want Japan to have nukes?
I'm Chinese and I think that old lady really needs to watch more news about NK now. Anyways, Us gov't asked China gov't to take care NK problem, however, US held military training with SK at the same time, which makes the situation more intense. It's like China tried to put out the fire, but US gov't keep pouring gasoline into the fire, and still blame China didn't do the work. That's ridiculous. I can say if SK have a war against NK, China definitely won't touch it. However, if US would send troops to NK and intervene the war, China won't let it happen. Just like the last Korean war. So the Korean peninsula problem will definitely be solved much easier if US not intervene it, and the situation will be less complicated. It just should be the problem only between NK and SK.
This is so fucking dumb. The US is helping out SK so much against NK because they do NOT want SK and Japan developing their own nukes to counter NK which they keep on threatening to do! It's been proven that both countries have the expertise and capability to build nukes now, they just haven't because of the US. You want to talk about gasoline on a fire? How about the ENTIRE REGION FULL OF NUKES? Do you seriously want that????
If someone constantly fires missiles at you and threatens to nuke your country, then having regular Military training to defend yourself with allies is just common sense.
The only reason why north korea still exists today is because of china. If china stopped supporting them and putting up with their crazy shit then south koreas military dependency on america will also become redundant.
Martin Brodel Look at the difference between north korea and south korea today and you get the answer. North korea does not care about its own people at all. All their money is used on weapon development at the cost of starving its people just so kim can remain as a dictator.
This is not 1950. Soviet union does not exist anymore. Russia and china has no business in the Korean Peninsula. America is concerned because America is being directly threatened by north korea. On the contrary, south korea does not threaten russia or china, they actually have relatively good relations today.
For china, economic ties and good relationships with south korean and america, which are some of their most significant trade partners is far more important than getting into a messy war trying to protect north korea as a buffer.
Is china going to risk their own prosperity and peace for a crazy hermit buffer? That is really questionable.
I see what your saying, the only problem is that Korea and Japan will probably be in the mix and both of them (if not just Japan) can't exclude the US at that point because due to their relations they are already involved...
I feel like this could be resolvable if by some out of who-knows-what miracle, the relationship between the US and China could become a better/more than adequate. Though that seems so impossible...
WHAT bias? North Korea has NUKES. CHINA HAS 100s of NUKES! South Korea has ZERO NUKES! It would be STUPID for South Korea not to team up with the US!
China is a righteous and peaceful country, so we unnecessarily worry about
Why So many comments blames the old woman? This video just shows us different views.
because of "freedom of speech"
Y’all asked the wrong questions. This is leaving so much out considering chinas role in North Korea and FREEING ITS PEOPLE WHO ARE IN A PERPETUAL HOLOCAUST. Where does the Kim regime get their resources from? Their oil? We need all hands on deck to stop the insanity that goes on there. The people of China and the people of the world need to care more about what is happening there.
Great channel :D
You should ask about north korean refugees sent back to their deaths.
Lmao that old Nanny's attitude is similar to my grandparents lmaoo
The older women in the video is a great example of how far China has come in just two generations. It is obvious the youth is China is becoming more westernized, while the older people who were directly affected by WWII still hold grudges.
Ask China what they think of Russia.
cold as fuk and that it
I'm Chinese,I can tell you that we usually call Russian at“the Battle Nation”,as we think they are good at fighting.and even keep bears as pets
We don't know too much about Russia, but we think young ladies in Russia are very beautiful, and men in Russia are good at fighting
that old woman says the truth,but it makes people uncomfortable.
我是美国人。 我觉得中国人是很合理。 我希望我们的国家成为朋友.

However, the comment section is intolerable that there are too many opinion manipulations, and these are subtle and passive-aggressive.

Hey asian boss, You awear that 2 guys are from Taiwan right?
Great video! Very interesting! You should ask them how they feel about the fact that China sends North Korean Defectors back to North Korea if they're caught in China. Would love to hear their thoughts on that, if they think it's good/bad etc.
Same
I'm a Chinese and I may answer that, not just what I think but what Chinese government does. The North Korean government urges China to send back its defectors all the time. China agrees to the request and if South Korean government asks for the same, China will also respond accordingly. Pure diplomatic issues regarding trespassing. When China found out that some people were tortured or even killed after the repatriation, Chinese government brought up the demand that no one be killed as a precondition.
They may not know that . At least I didn't know that (I'm a Chinese btw)
China neve care if other country are democratic or not. You can see China trade with, and also in good relation with both democratic country and autocratic ones, feudalistic ones. China regard the system as someone else's business, and China dont care or intervene.
At 7::32: "China is always trying to ease tension by arranging conferences;" and arranging, and arranging. China wants to keep the status quo, because it's in China's interest to do so. The last thing it want's is hungry North Koreans streaming across the border. However they have to APPEAR to be seeking a solution, so they keep endlessly arranging conferences. As the old cliche goes, "talk is cheap." Also, China cooperates witht the DPRK by arresting North Korean escapees and sending them back to torture and imprisonment, if not execution.
We don't want us close to us,it is a bad guy

道理上没什么错
话说的难听点，可道理就是那么个道理。美国人确实过分。美国人不可能放弃制裁朝鲜的。苏联解体已经30多年了。对古巴的封锁制裁还在继续。所以朝鲜没有选择。只能确保自己能有威胁美国的力量。
人家说得没道理吗？以前中国制造导弹，他们欧美也阻止，中国也很长时间被他们制裁，朝鲜就是过去的中国
If ask me, I will say China must support n protect NK all the way and to use nuclear on Japan and any part of the USA.
I trust NK more than the US.
old lady old lover of mao tse tsung?
What the hell did she say that was wrong? If Kim does not develop nukes then yeah he will become another Sadam Hussein, and frankly that is worse than in position he is in now. How she like Mao just because she state the facts that Kim is smart and not going to bow to US and give up nuclear development?!
sek 奔跑的野狼
you are Yankee liberal brainwashed example
Obviously
to be fair she is the one telling the truth , its nothing wrong to defend urself
She is a senile imbecile, probably how old ladies in Japan were talking during WW2 before USA obliterated them
if you are north korean, you may agree with that old lady's opinion (NK should have nukes). BTW, the translation need to be more accurate.
I think two young man among them are from Taiwan, according to their accent. Also they called north korea 北韩 rather than 朝鲜 as most Mainland people would say.
accent, 飞弹，北韩，亚（雅）洲，so obvious
Now do this same interview today since NK just launched an ICBM that can now hit continental US. China and US will not war with each other. The US , South Korea and Japan happen to be in the top 4 of their trading partners. War with the US would have their economy collapse.
I love the elderly lady at the park. I like her sense of humor and her views on this topic
China US relations with North Korea:
"You do something about it"
"No YOU do something about it"
At least they can both agree that they would rather not do anything about it :)
Next question: Do South Koreans want to reunify with North Korea.
Yerisico of course, its going to be difficult but a long term goal.
Allen Ad Are you a South Korean living in South Korea?
Yes we all South Koreans want to be reunified under our dear leader Kim-Fat-Un...Oh! do please liberate us soon from democracy!!!
Anosync No one said anything about DPRK being in control?
For a peaceful resolution both Koreas need to talk it out and leaving all geo-political and military interests of third parties (I look at you China, USA, Russia and Japan) out of the talk. What about the Panmunjon Declaration of 2018? So easily forgotten? I wonder
What Cambodians think of Vietnam or Thailand would be interesting
lololololo
I bet when China was developing nuclear weapons it was thought as a threat as well. The fact is without nuclear weapon we wouldn't get where we are today. It is crucial. However, the sad thing is, there is no opening up in NK even after they have had nuclear weapons. There is also no improved livelihood for the people. It seems they are not trying to go with the path we set for them. Sad. I always thought NK should open for foregin investment, at least open to us Chinese in exchange for protection!
I just wish our sides can work together in peace… unfortunately time after time, the innate rectitude of mankind has been proven nonexistent…
I find it really interesting that there was such a generational split. I don't know how representative the two elder commentators were of the general feelings of the Chinese of that generation, but they seemed to speak much more neutrally-to-almost admirably about Kim Jong Un and his regime's tactics. While the younger people seemed to feel that the regime is more destructive and provocative. The younger commentators also seemed to believe in China's responsibility and power to maintain peace in the region. In the end, they were right. American presence in North Korea would be in itself overly provocative and I empathize with their unwillingness to have heavy American presence right on their borders. I also feel that China has a responsibility to deal with Kim by virtue of the fact that China has propped them up all these years. The regime would have potentially collapsed with the 90s famine otherwise and who knows what kind of opportunities that could have opened up for the Korean Peninsula. The best balance for all four countries' interests was to have China work to contain the monster it is feeding, while South Korea and the US restrains its military presence and doesn't push beyond S Korea's borders. I'm frankly rather upset that Donald Trump is upsetting that balance recklessly to distract from his numerous domestic problems. I was surprised how much my own perception was aligned with most of the Chinese commentators.
For the Chinese saying he has no choice but to listen, is that why he hasn’t listened to China’s warnings at all? And in fact killed his uncle who was the ambassador to China?
I love this old lady!

the old lady didnt say "Kim Jon Un didnt give a shit" she said "Kim Jonun dont care for talks"
The old lady has a point. Yankees shouldn't be the ones to say which country can or can not have military defense, especially when they have it themselves.
Hi everybody, it's Steve from Asian boss. Today we're going to hit the street of Pyongyang, and ...
Actually people in Shanghai don’t care about politics, you should ask people in Beijing.
Interesting mix of conflicted opinions, and a reminder that of course 1.4 billion people aren't all going to believe the same thing. The broad strokes though are that they would all rather this was not happening (except maybe the older woman) and they certainly don't want a war.
The two guys are Taiwanese. They are not mainland Chinese at all. The political stance on both sides is quite different, like South Korea and North Korea. Is it not objective or ridiculous to represent the Chinese mainland with Taiwanese standpoints or opinions?

From their accent and some of the terms that they use it seems like the two guys in blue shirt are from taiwan though……………that explains there rather different opinion from other Chinese interviewees
JEFFREY ANG 洪 they used 北韩 instead of 朝鲜, which is the term mainland Chinese people tend to use. And also they say 亚（三声）洲， instead of 亚（四声）洲. That is another distinctive feature. There is more details that I’m not gonna put on one by one, but you will be able to find more of these little things in the video.
Monkey Lee If you travel a lot to southern China you should know what I mean. Even in Guangzhou, you cannot just label everyone as Hong Konger if you heard them use some HK.Cantonese slangs either Sometimes they inter influence each other.
I noted that as well but i don't think their opions are any different at all, certainly among various Chinese individuals many people would probably share the same idea as well.
