Do NOT Judge China if you have NEVER BEEN // 如果你没来过中国就不要随意评判

- While walking around the streets of Beijing I had a thought come to mind.. I feel very privileged to have come to China and learned the valuable lesson of not judging or making assumptions about a place or country that you have never visited before. I hope others can learn the same lesson!

It seems too many people who have never been to China think they are an expert on this country, I can't fathom it!?
Feel very fortunate to have learned this lesson at a young age... do you have any similar experiences?

As a Chinese, I hope you can come to Xinjiang to travel very much. See for ourselves if the Communist Party is oppressing and enslaving the Uighur people as the Western media claims. The Uighur people would never imagine that they are living a happy life, but some say they are being imprisoned in concentration camps.
Yep... was told not to go to China for work by family before I left the UK... I was given all the reasons you could think of - and I am a black woman, so that made all the reasons given worse. My experience was far from anything they all expected! I had a very positive experience and absolutely love China.
Our friend in England, a loyal supporter, sent you an email on 8 January at 10:40 UK Time (18:40 Beijing Time).
Thank you poem:
Thank you for all you do for the communities;
You make life better for people around you;
Your continual acts of kindness brighten each day;
What you do for people will glow in their memories.
Before I came to Switzerland, people said it's the best and welfare country in the world, but I found it wasn't ture for me. I more prefer living in China for its vibrant city life and marvious food.
I agree with you. My Father was in one of the first tourist tours of China in the 70s when it started opening up. He then visited again in the 80s and 2000s. He kept saying to me, you have to visit China. However, it was not until I visited China, I realized how brainwashed I was. It was nothing like I was led to believe during my education and also the media portrayed. I love China and and want to go back when we can start travelling again. Travelling is the greatest education in the world. Seeing is believing :) Love your Channel :)
Thats a great comment, Thank you for sharing.
Traveling experience is better than reading thousands books sometimes! I should say you have great experience than most of western people, and thank you for sharing that! Good luck with your family in China. China may not be the best country to live in, but it must be the most successful developing country in the world!
Wow, your dad can write a book. It must be interesting.
wow,your father is really brave and have an open mind when he visited China in 70s! Salute.
@@Ana71st Sadly, he passed away 8 weeks ago, however, Dad did live a wonderful life, and yes, was able to tell us some amazing stories. He was aged 92, close to 93. Now he travels in his next life :)
The more I learn about China, the more I realise there is still so much I don't know. I'm here to learn about China, try to understand this country, and expose myself to different lifestyles and opinions. Living abroad, especially in a country like China, which is so different to what we as Westerners are used to in our home countries, is a massive learning curve and also a great chance for personal development. After ten years here, I feel I've only just scratched the surface. At the same time, being away from home makes you appreciate where you come from more for various reasons, so I think that before I left Australia I didn't consider myself as a patriotic Aussie - but after living here, I now feel I am. Meanwhile, I've also grown to appreciate an entirely different culture and society - which is why I feel so strongly that we should all find a way to coexist peacefully. It is okay, and more than possible, to appreciate two ways of living, two countries, and two cultures at the same time. Different doesn't equal wrong, it is just different, and that is okay.
Yes, I agreed with you. First, there must be a change of government in Australia. This LNP is following Donald Trump taking Australia down the toilet.
Well said! Totally agree with you ☺️
Wish we can build an equal prosperous global village in the 21st century.
We learn partly Australia from you, thank you for sharing
@@zhugeliang3905 in Australia, very concerned, very puzzled
Born and raised in Hong Kong, I used to have no sense of belongings or even felt embarrassed of being Chinese... until 2003, I went to Beijing, learn about the history, the people, the culture and I was confused (because things are not the same as what I heard/thought)... on the last day, my sister and I went to see the flag raising in Tianamen Square... we both cried just watching the flag goes up, that's sense of belongings and I know... I found the root, I found my country... and I can tell you very proudly that I'm Chinese, not Hong Kong Chinese, not HongKonger... but, Only - Chinese !
It’s very touching to hear your story. I ran into a HK born Chinese Canadian on YT, who said his family had run away to Canada before 1997 take over, because they were afraid of CCP. And he was totally western minds full of that democracy and autocracy camp thing, I tried to explain how we feel about being a Chinese nowadays but why would I bother, he has his own value, just by told by people he would feel anything.
I wish someday he can come to China and he said he’s afraid of poisonous food and milk of China, Oh gosh!
You are very intelligent man GOD bless you and your family.
我去,关于朝鲜的言论,你真的很让人尊敬,我觉得一万个西方人都不一定有你这种思考的言论,你很棒
对,所以印度和朝鲜 我也应该去自己去看看,或许能了解他们究竟是什么样子的
可是朝鲜人不能自由出国 这个接受不了
@@jimmymofanfan5839 我赞同,但不能拿我们这个阶段去看朝鲜,我们也有过那个时期,他们现阶段比我们那时候强很多,毕竟后发优势是可以夸阶段发展的,开放的前提是当他们不被制裁,这和台湾政权拥抱西方后,对着大陆喊投奔的人赏500两黄金一样,现在还不是倒过来了。我们现在经历的一切告诉我们面对制定规则的那几个国家,民族自主有多么重要
这个博主看世界很客观,是挺让人尊敬的
西方的制裁,其实是造成朝鲜贫穷的原因,没有发展的权利。没有和全世界做生意的机会,除了大米,煤,几项最基本的。
I am Tujia, one of the ethnic minority groups in China. My Mom is Miao and my dad is Tujia. My grandpa used to live in one of the poorest villages in Guizhou China, and he was the first generations to leave that village for city. I was born in a city in China and now I have been living in England for 5 years so far. Every time when I mentioned I am an ethnic minority Chinese they always asked me '"have you been to the concentration camps" "have your parents been forced to work" or "have you ever been tortured by CCP". I get really tired of answering this kind of questions, and I always tried to change their perception about China, but all ended up with "you have been brainwashed." So now I am trying to avoid any topics related to China. This is so sad.
Thanks for sharing. Sorry to hear your experience. But China always welcome someone like you back. So think about it.
That's what they want you to do
You cannot change perception when all they hear about China is negative things from their media since the day they were born. If you are born in the west, you will think like them too.
But it is also these perception that got China starting to get ahead of the west in many areas. People in the west believed that China is backwards and minorities are being suppressed and they lived with that false sense of superiority and continue to be complacent! Leave it, they will wake up one fine day, but that day will be too late for them to wake up.
Totally feel what you feel.. Most time when people ask me something about China I found they are not really interested in what's the truth about china but only looking for another reason to criticize. Now I was like, whatever, believe whatever you want to believe about China. At least its not going to hurt China but only hurt yourself eventually
多謝你告訴外國人有關中國對少數民族政策的事實,改善外國人被外媒誤導後對我國的負面印象👍
As a Malaysia born chinese my grandparents are from China. When i was young through western education graduate from university of winnipeg at a younger age i was really ashame to be a chinese from all the negative things i read from western media. After me n family visited China few years back, i really understand how u feel. My siblings n parents love China so much they visited almost all major cities of china over the years, it became our family 1st choice of vacation. This is a great country believe me cos my family n me basically visited most part of this world - USA, Canada, Europe ,Australia and most of Asian countries. Our only blank is south America just being to Mexico.

西方人一贯的自傲与歧视,各大媒体,政客明明知道是他们的报道是在污蔑这个国家,这里的人民,但是他还是要这么做,这是他们意思形态。问题不是在于西方世界的人民有没有认识到这个东方国家是怎么样的。,而是西方世界的人民有没有认识到他们的媒体,政客,甚至是他们自己为什么要秉持着几百年来对东方人的污蔑与歧视。这是殖根于他们血脉里的高傲和歧视,没有几百年的时间,他们还是这样的。
I’m a non-Chinese Canadian and I’ve been to China several times and I can attest that you are 100% right that China is not the ‘bad place’ the western media and western politicians proclaim it is. The fact is that China is a country with hundreds of millions of intelligent people who are educated and industrious. The government of China is the CCP that rules the country with a unique governance system that works incredibly well for the 1.4 Billion Chinese citizens; the country is a mix of communism, socialism, and capitalism; and this mix works very well for China. No other country on planet earth is governed better than China, just look at their progress!!
This is absolutely true!
Even more than true!! China is an example for the rest of the World!
China has 13 billion people. Sorry I was wrong. 1.4 billion!

香港肯定是更发达的 但是大陆有一点好处,我们如果没有能力留在一线觉得生活节奏太快压力太大可以回到小城市 因为繁华的都市带来压力比快乐大我们还有第二选项,并不是每个人都要追求最好的 但是在香港只能被迫接受这种快节奏生活不然很容易被淘汰
As an Australian living in China, I still see comments made by people online, who really have absolutely no idea!! My mother worked here for 6 years before me, and although I never visited in that time, I was fairly well informed about life here. But there were still a whole lot of preconceived ideas I had, which it took actually being here to dispell. A great song by John Williamson, an Australian songwriter, has the line "Good news never made a paper sell", which sums things up beautifully. The only time we see China in the media in the west, it is the negative news, and whether the stories are accurate or not, some are, but many are not, it fails to show the great stories that far outweigh the negative!! It is a beautiful place, with beautiful people, and hopefully with channels like yours, and the videos I plan to start making soon, the outside perspective on China can become a fairer representation of what the country actually is!! Great work, only just found your channel, but I'm impressed with your work!! Keep it up!! 😄😄
I changed it to "Good Chinese news never made a paper sell"
Thanks Scott, Appreciate your support.
"Good news never made a paper sell" can be translated into a Chinese proverb : 好事不出門,壞事傳千里。
In last 24 months how many positive articles in China did you see about Australia?

@@middleburywang1370 偏见啊,朋友。西方的哲学是非常发达的。如果拿中国的思想家和西方的思想家作比较,你会发现,西方的思想家分类较细致,论述过程注重思辨和逻辑,入手由浅入深,随着时间不断丰富,发展,适合普通人学习,继承,发展。而我们的思想家,则偏重微言大义,高屋建瓴,直接给出高度概括性和总结性的结论,没有过程,入手门槛非常高,要靠人自己的悟性。随着时间和阅历不断渐悟或顿悟,最后发现无论什么先贤都给出了指引的方向。
只能说各有优劣,各有所长,各自适合各自的文化土壤。而当今世界,更需要相互交流碰撞。
西方世界可不是什么几百年近代文明。别看人家的地方,国家多,历史上国家不断生灭,正因如此,人家才生生不息,求新求变,科学昌隆。人家文明可是一直没断过,直接来源与古希腊,古罗马文明。而古希腊,古罗马文明,又源自古两河流域文明。
论古文明,中国是最年轻的,论现代文明,中国是最晚进入的,还是被别人用大炮逼着进入的。
莫非,还不知道虚心学习吗?

Thank you for what you do. I’m Chinese American and I grew up feeling ashamed of being Chinese because of all the racism I experienced. When I went to college, I experienced racism from other Asians against Chinese and that was really disappointing because it was the first time I ever experienced that. UA-camrs like Serpentza and others fed into my insecurities and the comment sections on youtube would make me feel so bad because people really expressed so much hate for Chinese people. It really messed up my mental health and I felt really insecure and depressed about that. Then I discovered channels like yours and it helped me so much over come that. I realize that the western media has demonized China and videos like your give me courage to hope. If only people would stop judging and being so ignorant...use their brains to think a little harder than to just believe everything they hear on the news. Please don’t stop what you are doing, it’s so important we have some positive videos on China amid the massive amounts of negative videos. I just want to people to know that Chinese people are also human beings deserving of dignity and respect.
western politicians is fooling their peoples
Many hugs to you. We should be proud of being Chinese. Hope you have a happy life forever. All Chinese worldwide stay united.

I am a Chinese in my whole life. I’ve been to America for many times (6 times 2019). For many of western people I met, I wanted to say to them: we don’t expect you to like China, just please don’t lie about China. or maybe don’t help spread lies when you don’t know China. Being a Chinese, I was too conservative to say. Chinese people tend to avoid face to face conflicts, you know that.
@the Oracle of Delphi Of course we don't like talking about that, cuz thats not true. The media only let u know what they want you to know. The best way to know the truth is to go to China and see it yourself
@the Oracle of Delphi then you shouldn't make assumptions about a place if you have never been there. Fact check before you speak, and don't let personal experiences make you prejudiced against an entire group. The Chinese are actually very friendly although there are few exceptions, just like how there are westerners talking so negatively about China but the non-Chinese around me are actually very nice
@the Oracle of Delphi What I actually meant was that don't assume how a group of people is like just because of your experience with some of them. I do agree personal experience is good, that's why I told you the best way to know about Xinjiang is to go there
@the Oracle of Delphi gweilo
@the Oracle of Delphi differences of views? What can one say? Go visit the place, bad experiences is your personnel thing? Aye!

@@lu-uf8zj Hello, I am a Chinese graduate student. What I find interesting is that most Chinese people think that the government is too conservative in international affairs. So I am very interested. Why do Western friends think we are expansionist? I don't know much about politics, but I hope that friends from various countries who hold various views can seek common ground while reserving differences. It is better to investigate in person instead of listening to certain media. To be honest, I also have reservations about the Chinese media's foreign reports, but I have not had the opportunity to go abroad to learn about it, so I will definitely go out and have a look when I have a chance. Finally, I hope world peace
@@网络连接无响应 The News we see here has shown some very disturbing reports from China. For instance we are disappointed that CCP did not honour the agreements on Hong Kong. Certain speeches about the country we call Taiwan did not sound like their right to sovereignty will be respected. Xinjang to you, just means "new territory"... but it's the home of people with their own culture....
Here in the West we believe in supporting a rich diversity, but it seems CCP today wants to eliminate all that in China.
That would be a tragic loss for the world and especially for those people whose cultural heritage is destroyed for no benefit to anyone.
@@lu-uf8zj I don't know where you are from, but I sincerely recommend you to watch the press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China. The problems you mentioned are left over from history in China. If you want to clarify these, you need to know more about China's history. I can't arbitrarily deny your opinion, I can only say that things are far less simple than you think. If the conclusion or point of view of the relevant report you see is very clear, then it must be one-sided, because these issues are too complicated.

As a Chinese living in Canada, I have faced some discrimination over the years. I long ago accepted my heritage, my nationality, and my history. I went to school in China while in primary school, therefore when my friends talk about Xinjiang I know it isn't true. China is actually a very advanced country in a primitive development stage. Many young people's minds are disinformed about China from the Western media.
Yup most of my classmates believe the media as well. They don't even try to consider if it is fake or not. Whenever I tell them it is not true nobody believes me.
@@icewingdragon3297 The American's manipulations tactics are beyond what we think they are. With the Western media forming an alliance. They back all of the Chinese affiliated medias in the corner. People these days rarely do any thorough research anymore. They only follow the national news or a popular news source. This causes an anti-China news popularity among the masses. Currently, the master mind behind this is unknown, but this strategy deserves to be called a smart move.

Many Chinese from China do comment or criticize the Chinese government, but usually, they won’t just simply do it in front of you unless you are close with them, or unless they found that you are someone able to talk to. Because most of them understand that the political views of each person even in the same country also could be very different. And sometimes, you will find it very surprising that the Chinese even know more than you, they even know the background or the history of the president of other countries (even just some small countries) if they interested to know about. And also sometimes you will find it very surprising that, their understanding of politics and history of the world and China itself even stronger than any foreigners (I am a Malaysian Chinese, not Chinese from China). Yes, there are some amount of Chinese not agree with CCP, and it’s a normal phenomenon, but many of them still understand that communism is a current system that is more suitable for China. (If you understand the flow of Chinese history, it‘s always apart, then combine, apart combine, apart combine, and the current situation is combining for their country. Dynasty Qing is combine then after that civil war between Guomindang and CCP is apart, then now is combine, and Chinese alway suffered during the period of apart). Chinese actually are very clever, yes the management part of CCP is without freedom of speech, but they manipulate a capitalism like of economic system in certain region of China, or slowly the whole China, otherwise, CCP won’t be survived until today. Try to track the Chinese history, the civil war alway more extreme than many western countries nowadays from the history.
Each civil war, involved many millions chinese died. So this is the political views of Chinese. They don’t judge or comments if they don’t know. Something I admire that, sometimes I criticised my government in front of my Chinese friends, usually they don’t comment but just listen, they don’t comment if they do not know it. But for sure, certain amount of CCP irrational fans will attacked some countries like US, Japan, Australia or others which ever brought troubles to them. But usually the comments not as harsh as westerners. Unless you really make them very harsh.
And one thing that I realised recently (I am studying in Shanghai now), they did collect opinions or suggestion (via certain form or survey) from the students regards the school, the system, lecturers and etc. My Chinese friend worked in a government water department, they did collect the survey or opinions from their customers, if the survey show that there are many negative Feedbacks, then they will change or reform the policy based on the majority opinions. So I think this is the way they collect opinion and do reform, I think this is also another kind of freedom for them.
@sarah LL Maybe you are not close with them yet, or maybe they found that you don't have the same languages like them. If you can understand Mandarin, Cantonese, or even Hokkien, you will know their opinion. And currently, the comments from Hong Kee and Taiwanese (of course not all) are very harsh towards CCP, I believe this is because how the media brainwash them China CCP is a devil. I was surprised that some of them even only have the impression of the 80s period of China. Not everyone willing to travel to other places even their "own country".
The time they will tell you what they think is after you have a long talk with them during eating and drinking, this is how Chinese deal and interact if you want to know what's their drinking. If a Chinese willing to have a meal or drink with you that's mean they started to include you in their circle...
The main reason China is so successful & combined today is due solely to her excellent leadership under the Communist Party. I lived in Taipei for almost a year (in those days) under KMT, it's a mess, a shithole. China, without CPC, would never have made so much progress today, especially lifting almost a billion people out of poverty, that is totally impressive, unprecedented because this has NEVER happened in any country in the world including democratic countries where people get to vote & look at them. Oh, look at the homeless in the USA. How can your leaders look away and do nothing? Any elected government anywhere in the world, who did nothing abt growing hunger & homelessness is totally heartless.

I was born in Vietnam, lived in Indonesia, and now live in the USA (by far the worst country I've experienced). My dad is 100% Chinese (but has never been to China) and my mom is French/German but they're both American citizens. For the past 10 years I've lived in America and I've always felt like I can't accept the Asian side of me (especially being Chinese) because of all the misconceptions. Even my dad has a lot of misconceptions about China, and he's full Chinese. Now I realize that America is actually in the wrong and China isn't as bad as they say.
Also, I hate when Americans bring up that Chinese individuals aren't allowed freedom of speech. AMERICA DOESNT ALLOW FREEDOM OF SPEECH. If you end up saying anything that doesn't align with the majority, your life is pretty much over.
I'm actually looking to move to China after university, maybe even during university. Hopefully I never have to deal with ignorant Americans after that, but I know it'll still happen.
@the Oracle of Delphi I plan on it :)
@the Oracle of Delphi better than chemical cheese spray and diabetes by the time you're 25.

hi OLI. having from a very early age (now 60) i wanted to go to China, when asked by my parents where to go on holiday i said China but they could never afford it. Now i have been a few times and married to a beautiful Chinese lady. With 2 lovely step daughters and a Chinese family mainly living in Guangdong i would never say i am an expert on China but know more than most in England and i find most English peoples ideas of China quite comical. by the way i have always been told i look a bit Chinese mainly because of the shape of my eyes and a Chinese girl from the dreaded fulan gong thought i was Chinese
Though I grew up in the States, I'm lucky that my family has been adamant about teaching me Chinese and Chinese culture. If it weren't for such a strong support system, I don't think I'd be as proud of my heritage as I am.
我住在英国16年了,我爱这个国家,但是西方媒体关于中国的报道都是负面的,这点让我觉得很不公平,中国并不是他们报道的那样,民主也没有想象的那样完美,每个人每个国家都有自己的生活方式,谢谢你传播正能量💪💪💪
I've been to China four or five times. I've had both good and bad experiences there, but I can't wait to go back. I just hope that the US-Sino trade war doesn't make it harder for me to go. My visa is still valid for two years, but who knows after that...

Barrett, I’m a Chinese Singaporean. Watching your videos has changed dramatically my thought about China. Now I’m extremely positive about China. Thank you👍👍👍
You are kidding me? You are a Chinese Singaporean, and then you don't know anything about China? I remember that lee kuan yew always talked about China in front of you guys and so many Singaporean had invested china after opening up of China. So i believe that most of you knew about China, from your neighbors johor bahru.
@@aaronlee8251 Chill out... :) we don’t mean no harm, the reality is there is still quite a cultural gap between Chinese-Singaporeans and Chinese-Malaysians, mainly due to the fact that we Chinese-Singaporeans are better in English but most of us are pretty terrible in Chinese, so we mainly take in English content (which has a western mindset), while it is the direct opposite for you guys, your Chinese is so good that back in my secondary school days (十多年前), the Malaysians ALWAYS get No. 1 in Chinese, not the Mainland Chinese students, you guys read and write in traditional Chinese, so you guys mainly take in Chinese content on the internet (which has a eastern/chinese mindset)
@@aaronlee8251 Reason he do not know enough about China is simply because he mostly read or see whatever news there is in UA-cam.... from American media, reporters. Their job is to critisize and condemn China, that's why his knowledge of China was not much, wondering why Singapore LKY was so close to China.
Welcome to China, i am sure you will have a wonderful trip

where r u from?
@@hyphoneto Born in Poland , live in States.
I am from Singapore and love going China yearly until the covid-19 stopped me. I have friends told me "oh it's not safe in China, I heard they harvest organ", or "I heard the toilet there is very dirty", or "China has no freedom! You can't use whatsapp or google map in China".
From Singapaore, too, and China has made me a multi-millionaire through my setting up 2 factories there 2 decades ago. That's why I do not trust western media at all - fabricate news trying to slander and smear China. I used to get news from CNN, BBC, etc, but after visits to China, these media have zero credibility to me.
@@rogerfaint499 what's your opinion on CNA or straits?
Actually, you can't use whatsapp or google map in China, it's truth, Of course use VPN is another story
@@AmelieZh ,
At least CNA showed the violent side of the Hong Kong rioters, that gave me a good impression on them. Most mainstream media I have seen kept the violent acts censored to push their “peaceful pro-democracy activists” narrative.
That's why I basically never take anyone's word for pretty much anything!! One of my most important principles is to always find out the truth for yourself! This applies to just about anything! Example, movie reviews, food reviews, etc, etc. My attitude is, I'LL decide for myself whether they're any good or not!!
Yep, I agree 100% with what you say, do the research yourself.
I'm a Chinede born in Singapore, and I've been travelling to China since 1994 for about 100 trips and visited more than 40 places. And I also traveled to lots of countries in the world. To be honest, in my opinion, there is no countries that can amaze me in term of freedom in living standard, safety and prospect in business advancement. Scientically China is using science to improve their citizen and protecting its own country against foreign treat which is absolutely right... I envy you and your dad have the opportunity to travel and live in China and filming the real situation there. Singapore is westernise but also is very control in the political front, today just announce all citizen messages via WhatsApp and phone calls will be monitored. No polical or religious or false information will be allowed. I totally agree with these control because not all people can have the right mindset about these issues...
Totally agreed. I born in China and I am staying in Singapore now.. From the western country point of view, Singapore is not democratic country. However I love it. Who care what the western country say? And why should we care?
Preferably no religious msg but need to have other political views and opinion. As for false information, how do you know it is false, because pap said so. I think you guys need to be more discerning and think out of the box.
I have had the true pleasure to visit China. Thanks for all you and your dad do to shine some truth into the western world.:)
I’m a Chinese living in Australia, I’m from Hebei (next to Beijing) but I grow up in XinJiang, sometimes it’s hard to explain to other people that they (Uighur) are actually having a good life in XinJiang and there is also much love between the average Chinese and Uighur Chinese. some people are just so ignorant and believe in the nonsense that is totally made up by the stupid medias. I really wish if you can take a visit there and make videos! Thank you Barrett.
You don't live in Australia ! If you did, you wouldn't be so grossly ignorant. Given your likely association with the CCP, (you now need to declare it on the visitor VISA application), nor will you ever be allowed to visit. This includes, Canada, USA, UK and NZ. Something to think about.

Give me a choice between USA vs CHINA ??? ..... *CHINA* everytime !!.
Did China invade the United States? Has China launched a war against the United States? How many invasion wars the United States launched, how many countries were destroyed by the United States, have you read the news?
I've to China twice (4 different cities in 4 provinces) and 5 times in the USA (many cities in 16 different states). Though I love USA I think it is stuck in time. China is another world, they are already in 2050! So I would choose China every single day!

Thank you for introducing China! I have been in Canada for 5 years. I really like the introduction of you and your father. It also allows more Westerners to understand the real China. Although China has many imperfect places, I have worked in government agencies for more than 20 years. The current Chinese government is much better than before. I hope that one of my children can return to work in China in the future. Thank you very much!
I am 100% behind you. From a Brit, living in Hong Kong, who has seen the false narratives, half truths and manipulation first hand.
I am Chinese living in Germany. i strongly agree to what you said: never ever set a preconception on something before you really understand it. Be full of respect on someone until you find a good reason against it. Unfortunately, way too many people in my daily life behave in the contrary way...
I doubt if you live in Germany.
Here is a part of an interview with Cia Xia, who was expelled from the Communist party and now lives outside China.. (unlike you)
She says later in the interview that this is how around 70% of the CCP cadres feel. Don't be caught on the wrong side of history, or it will completely fuck your prospects for the future.
Q. You said that after changing the constitution to abolish term limits, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) would die a death without a burial. What do you mean by that?
Cia Xia: China is bound to go through political transformation, toward democracy, political freedom, rule of law and constitutionalism. This is the inevitable trend of modern human political civilisation. China will enter this stage sooner or later.
Because the CCP has been in power since 1949, they have made many mistakes and even crimes. Between 1959 to 1961, nearly 40 million people starved to death. The anti-rightist movement of 1957 and cultural Revolution hurt almost all Chinese elites and intellectuals. Also the Tiananmen protests in 1989 when the CCP, under the direct order of Deng, used its army to shoot the people. No matter what, this is unacceptable to Chinese people. It is the People's Liberation Army, right? It is the people's country.
Yet we see corruption within the party and the growing gap between the rich and the poor. In the future, when China transitions to a democracy, all of these will be seen as a the major mistakes or the sins of the CCP.

If someone badmouth you, it doesn't mean you are bad, it's very possible that that guy is a bad egg. Keep going Oli and Lee, you're awesome. 👍👍💪💪
Oli, the reason why UK media attack you is very simple, your videos and information is damaging their lies/biased narrative about China. It's more likely those medias are the REAL sponsored ones( sponsored by 5-eyes and CIA and other stack holders).
For same reason, U.S. attack Huawei telecom equipment for "security issue". Ironically it's because Huawei is the ONLY REAL secure equipment provider(Huawei provide source code to customer for check to prove them safe) , but this damages the U.S. existing monitoring network(for example : the PRISM) that CIA/NSA are operating. Because if a customer switch to Huawei equipment, that area will be no longer transparent to them, and this is a realistic 'hurt' to the U.S. hegemony which is unacceptable for them.
Exactly, that's why the west has realized after all this anti-western narrative from the CCP in the past few decades that the CCP are really bad eggs that need to be taken out of market for quality control. It's funny how you have to come up with all these western conspiracies when we have direct evidence the Barretts are being funded by China. Nice projecting
