@@John77Doe thats fdr's definition of freedom. that not even the us constitution guarantees all freedom defined in the four freedoms. so everything comes down to is how freedom is defined and by who. what were trying to do here is apply the dictionary definition of freedom to china without context.
Winston had a link to your page so here I am; convenience, freedom and the missing word is Liberty. Liberty to say is missing not freedom. Even Liberty has limits for example in the United States we have Liberty "freedom of speech" and you can say almost anything that is true or not true. We do not have freedom of consequence. I can say to a bully you have a big mouth and then get punched in my my mouth by the bully. I cannot yell fire in a movie theater and cause panic and loss of life and even if there is no loss of life I will still be arrested. In every place this is more or less Liberty when you cannot leave a place you do not have freedom to go where you want, when you have to do everything yourself you don't have convenience and Liberty to speak always comes with a cost. I have traveled outside the United States many time and never ask what was I doing in the place I visited until my first trip to China when I spent 40 day there. The man in Detroit Michigan was quite rude to me when I returned home. He wanted to know why I was there so long so I told him I was visiting my family with my wife, oh yea then where is your wife in the next line over and said why are you together and I side the sign said one at a time so we got in separate lines, he then realized how stupid his questions were and stamped my papers. I have Liberty to a greater degree it is not limitless.
My foreign friends in China: "I have so much more freedom here, I can drink beer in the street and drive my electric scooter in the wrong direction without wearing a helmet and nobody cares" Also my foreign friends in China: "Do you want all of us to get arrested? Delete that post from your Wechat Moments right now or unfriend me!"
The freedom people talk about is the lack of following the regulations among many of the locals. The foreigners then start to also believe that it is okay, "oh it is so free and van dry my scooter however I want"...
That could also be people in USA. Have Facebook friends who are critical of the government, get your profile deleted for being associated. Has already happened in some cases. Is only gonna get worse. - Because you know when the USA has competition, they will want to match their standards in order to not be at a market disadvantage.
Driving in the wrong direction without helmet sounds totally alright to me (if done respectfully). I mean, it's not like Chinese folks don't do it. I suspect some people are very eager to find faults with foreigners, as a result of some kind of inferiority complex.

Hi Simon, another new subscriber whom SerpentZA sent here! I lived in Shanghai for just one year and what you’re saying started to sink in after a while. Two examples: I found it very easy to chat about politics with mainlanders - just not about Chinese politics. After several months in the country, I wanted to at least visit its western half briefly. While I wasn’t stopped en route, I did basically get deported from one city in Xinjiang due to an ongoing “major security operation”. No foreigners allowed... and of course, I didn’t feel like asking what that operation was. China seemed even less free after that.
I've lived in mainland China for five years and I'm beginning to feel quite claustrophobic here now. I live in a less developed city and the amount of government propaganda plastered all over the place is incredible. On the street, in malls; you can't move for it. Plus having to connect a VPN every time you go online (most of the time it won't connect) reinforces just how much control the government has over people's lives. I'm now starting to see more police cars (with facial recognition cameras) and unmarked military jeeps on the streets. China's dystopian future has already arrived. If I can land a job outside mainland China then I'll leave. I don't think living in this political climate is good for people's mental health.
I've once read an article describing the experience of living and working in China over many years as amounting to a feeling of "claustrophobic bizarreness", and this expression stuck with me ever since, and accurately describes my own experience.
The illegitimate communist regime is indeed a terror regime. That's what Utopianism does everywhere it exists. The higher ups never buy into the Utopianism but weaponize it, and cynically use those who do to acquire and maintain absolute power. The rank and file who buy into it become the cruel task masters who believe an impossibility: that one person's notion of perfection could ever be anyone else's (everyone has a different and unique idea). Hopefully soon the regime will fall.
James ...interesting analysis, also the Hong Kong problem caused by mainland Chinese political crackdown...one question, where are you from originally?
You should seek medical attention and treat paranoia Have you translated the contents of those slogans? For example, "Be careful to cross the road, be careful of pedestrians." Your eyesight must be very special. You can observe that the recording device that the police carry with you has networking capabilities and can perform face recognition.
If your social credit score, assigned by the CCP, says you can't buy a train ticket, when the government controls your movement, what does it matter if there is good public transportation? Yes, a personal car is almost a necessity in the United States, outside of a small number of large cities like New York. However, the government here in the U.S. can't tell me that I can't travel to New York.
Here from serpentza. I always want to give support to Chinese people who want to make China more free and a more equal place for all Chinese people -- not just the rich and well-connected!
I used to feel free, but China is becoming an increasingly difficult place to be a foreigner. Censorship has reached such levels that I can't even keep up with news from back home anymore. I rely entirely on VPN now to access the free world, and that's precarious, since the government could block VPNs anytime they choose. I don't like surrendering so much control; I want to be able to get information when and where I want. The only foreigners who 'feel free' are surface-level laowais who live in laowai bubbles and don't bother to keep an eye on what's happening in wider China, or the high-level laowais who are making good money and who leave often enough that internet blocks don't really influence them, plus their companies probably have VPNs in the office. People in the middle are finding it harder and harder to enjoy life here.
SerpentZA sent me and now I’m really enjoying the great content. I appreciate you going through the trouble to make videos for us so we can see your authentic viewpoint. Keep up the great work!
I always felt living in China was like living with your mom and dad, you can do what ever you want as long as you don't offend the family and you do your chores to contribute to the family and when mom or dad says don't go here or there or don't do this or that, you listen and obey, or you get kicked out of the house haha, and we know what being kicked out of the house in China means haha, Lots of love Simon, stay safe.
I won't make such an effort to wash the linen of my country/ family/ friends /etc in public especially to those folks who are out to pounce on my country my family my friends etc . just to disillusion those folks. This is our culture.
I admire you that you dare to speak out this issue. Nowadays, I think the real point is too many things are defined as "sensitive" in China. I don't remember who said this: " Without the freedom of criticism, praise will be meaningless". Maybe it explains.....
Minor correction: foreigner's need permit to enter Tibet, but no permit is required for entering Xinjiang. Though I believe criticizing government in general is alright in China, especially local governments, I think we all have seen examples where there were really negative feedbacks about certain local government online, and there were consequences for those local officials. I also sort of understand why they tend to delete online posts that directly go against central government or attack key officials of the country, because the structure of the governance in China requires to maintain a high level of authority for the top governing bodies. One thing I'd like to mention is that if you like outdoor activities, your freedom is really limited in most inland cities, the air pollution is just bad, unless you really don't care about your health. A lot of people have rhinitis and pharyngitis. The situation did improve quite a bit in the past few years in the city I live (it used to be weeks of continuous heavy air pollution in the winter, truly depressing experience), but still unhealthy a lot of the times. I have air purifiers on 24x7 at home, but when I have to take my children outside I hesitate a lot of the times because of the air quality. What triggers me politically, is a cult of personality building around certain current leader, like we haven't had enough of this in the past. Like all online news media have to pin a news article about him at the top (really? someone wants attention that bad?), like those changes in constitution that you mentioned in your video. The trend is pretty alarming I would say. By 2023 if things had gone south I would want to move to another country.
Look at my answer He is a double standard, and China has no particularity. Compare it with the same situation, you will find that he is talking about prejudice
Good points. I do feel comfortable living here but since I work for a Chinese company with mostly Chinese co-workers I am continually reminded what things I can do that they find very difficult. "Your experiences will vary" is something everyone needs to understand. Cheers.
I previously worked in a European company with about 95% foreign employees. The office was a sanctuary. However, I didn't really appreciate that until I started working in my current place, which is 95% Chinese, among them a couple of Party members. I can't walk into the office and vent about shit I've seen around town or about how Xi's government has blocked yet another website. I have to keep quiet now and that stifles me. It's not doing my mental health much good.
@@8964TS You kinda need some friends to talk about shits like that, not co-workers. That said, nothing wrong with party members, people are still people, one of my co-workers, a party member, is freaking more liberal than I am.
I found this channel through Winston and Matt (ADV China). And I am not disappointed! I love to hear a mainlander's opinion. You seem very genuine the way you come across. I really like the cooking video you made too. Keep up the good work!
finally a channel by a real Chinese person in English. I prefer this over the other channels run by foreigners, because only Chinese critizes China for the interests of China, foreigners do that for their own interests.
You made me notice that most of foreigners that don’t understand Chinese have no idea what is happening on Chinese media. I did not notice about that and it really gave me a hint why the world often obviously misunderstands China. I am a foreigner and don’t speak any single piece of Chinese but I am from Japan. I can barely read signs in modern China because we borrow characters from China and you are borrowing big modern vocabulary from japan. For Japanese people it is not so difficult to find out propaganda which cannot be seen in free countries are in every corner of Chinese city and media. Fortunately, I am able to read to some extent ,classic Chinese sentences over 1400 - 3000 year ago that average modern Chinese people were not be able to read anymore because Japanese high school ( better ones) teach students to read 漢文 or 唐詩 or whatever. Whenever I communicate with Chinese people, I write down my bad classic Chinese sentences . For Japanese who are also foreigner, Chinese are a completely different language that average people do not understand at all with ears but it is understandable to some degree. The Chinese Communist party make propagandas to sound like old proverbs and put social ethic feelings that people should follow in them like 故事成語, where people can be happy thanks to great supreme leader and if they are not , they don’t make as much efforts as social model like person, which read really creepy and like covering up over the oppression. Thank to this video, I noticed that no other foreigners who don’t understand the character s were able to catch those unfree feelings in China and that makes them misunderstand and overvalue China in badly positive way.
I have binge-watched most of your videos. Some of your videos, I could feel your anger, trustrations, and tears. You are the real patriot who truly loves your fatherland and its people.
I have been living in china, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Macau since May 2016. I really feel FREE moving my self in China Territory!!.......SerpentZa sent me !!
Dear Simon, PLEASE be careful about what you say. You have a wife and parents and extended family. The authorities can threaten them as much as they can threaten you. Meanwhile, I do genuinely appreciate your videos, which provide an honest view of an important culture that I've never visited and that I probably never will visit.
Now you are brainwashed. As long as he does not organize anything, he is very safe saying whatever he wants to say, no government agency will threaten him or his family. What he says may be censored, but he will not be physically harmed. Otherwise, this channel would not have existed.
@@sjsupa -- I hope that you are right. I've known other people who have criticized the Chinese government -- police invade their homes, police spy on them, the authorities make trouble for their relatives, ...
If you only as a tourist from any “normal” country, you can also use any apps without vpn, because no chance your sim-card, no censorship to your mobil phone.
My U.S. SIM card does not allow me to access certain Apps n websites (Google Maps, WhatsApp, LINE, Facebook, Yahoo mail, hotmail, Gmail, etc.) when I was at BeiJing, ShangHai, and ShenZhan airports. I also bought Chinese SIM cards at the airport when I travel there, and they definitely do not allow access to the above Applications and sites.
Ni Hao. I followed over from Serpenza's channel where he recommended you. It's interesting to hear your perspective. I think any country can seem more free to foreigners, who maybe don't know the ins and outs of the way the countries government work. Some forms of control can be subtle. And even in the west, we get media redirected and not delivered on some of our social media platforms. You are not alone in that. I suppose where the difference comes in, is in the consequences, which I would say are far more severe in china. Though no country is above evil when it suits them, even the USA, or the UK where I live. Before I found Serpenza's channel, All I had was our media's representation of China, which wasn't favourable, or entirely truthful. Serpenza's channel was a window inside, and showed a more complex picture, with many good people, just trying to get on in their life, like in many other parts of the world. Sure, there are small differences, but there is also many things we have in common, and that is where we should all start. Thank you for sharing your experience, and I look forward to watching more of your videos. Xie Xie.
I would recommend that you follow UA-camrs, Barret (two British guys working in China) and Gweilo60 (a Canadian married to a Chinese lady) who live in China and Canada. They will give you their frank opinions on China.
@@kennyng2289 Not really. They censor themselves. Those guys don't even speak much Chinese, they have no idea what actually goes on. If they see it they look the other way. You will not get a single honest word out of these guys. They know if they criticize anything they are off the gravy train. ua-cam.com/video/ZewBxALZaTw/v-deo.html
@@sabinereynaudsf I really don't understand China haters, always giving the reason, "You can't say anything bad about China or you can't criticize the CPC". If the CPC has treated the people well, why is there a need to criticize them? They've alleviated 800 millions people from poverty. They even give free housing to the extreme poor people. Do you criticize them. Are you aware that 95.5% of the people supported the CPC? Of course Simon Yu is not one of the 95.5%. I feel sorry for him. Why don't he moved to Taiwan since his wife is from Taiwan. Or why don't he migrate to US or Europe? I don't know why he doesn't like his own country and govt. If he lives in my country, he will be treated as second class citizens. Many oversea Chinese like myself support China and its govt. China is my grandparent's motherland. We were taught to respect our parent, our grand parent. Singapore is a democratic country, right? Do you think you can criticize Singapore govt? Try it in public when you go there. Even in my country, we can't criticize our govt openly or risk being charged and go to jail. Moreover, my country practice racism and treated the Chinese as second class citizens. Do you think US has freedom? US has faked freedom. Why does US sanction countries and people who go against her? When Germany wanted to buy gas from Russia, US wanted to sanction Russia. No country and humans are perfect. China is not perfect, but she takes care of her citizens, unlike US who take cares of the 1% super rich people and the military complex. US does not take care of the poor. That's why there are so many homeless people. And US invade and bomb countries. She should be know as United Satan of America for the wars and killing. Follow Cyrus Janssen UA-cam. He is an American who lives in Canada now. He can criticize China, right? Since he lives in Canada and not in China. He is fair in his comments on China if you don't trust foreign UA-camrs living in China.
@@kennyng2289 A long comment, going down the usual list of anti-west comments. I am not going to address them all, since what-aboutism is not the point here. Cyrus Janssen's business is to help people from Canada set up accounts in China. Of course he is not going to be in any way critical of China. His business can be shut down in an instance, as has happened recently to tutoring businesses in China. The Chinese government acts arbitrarily and without transparency.
I am a Taiwanese. I started to sensor myself after finding out China has established police stations all over the world. I silent myself but at the same time, feeling so bad and so sad, knowing that one day if same thing happened to me, there are people like me, didn't dare to say anything even they feel for me. To me, Chinese and Hong Kong people who joined the 1989 Tiananmen Square Protests and 2019 Hong Kong anti-extradition are hero, so are you.
Btw I'm subscribed since SerpentZA made a shoutout a few months ago and I'm really glad you're working on the channel. It's one of the most honest ones on UA-cam right now.
we may be able to walk around with a beer in our hand on the streets and walk across the street against a red light without getting an expensive ticket, but that does mean we are "free" in china.
serpentza sent me. I visited Taiwan 38 years ago. I visited the National Palace Museum and was blown away by the beautiful ancient bronzes and cultural artifacts. I am so gratified to see Taiwan become so successful over the years. Donald Trump will make sure that Taiwan will remain free. I want to return to Taiwan and eat at your night markets. And don't forget your brethren in Hong Kong.
FlyingTaiwanese it depends which sides you want to focus on, positive or negative, if you will challenge the political stuff, you will end up unsatisfied and hating mindset without changing the status. China can be totally freedom but the question is how much we can take if the worst thing happens leading to chaos and unrest. After the www2, to some certain every country are on the way of democracy no matter whether they like or not.
Serpentza sent me. I have had association with China since 1993, there was always a sense of control in the early days which was suffocating, by about 2007 the country felt dynamic, people were finding their voice and opinions not previously heard were being voiced. Then came the Olympics, the smartphone and a new Chairman and the hammer & sickle reappeared and the sense of control had returned in a new insidious way.
@Sean Yee LOL, of course you would say that. Any criticism about China is also with "The West did it", it has becomes an excuses for everything. You know where CCP got that? Religions, "The Devil did it" is the same excuses to use for everything.
@Sean Yee All your rant and yet a story from Japanese soldier who invaded China would tell otherwise. In the story, Japanese soldiers said they would not even expect to win due to the size of the army which 3 or even 4 to 1. However, to theirs surprise, after the first invasion, they felt unreal because they barely killed any Chinese soldiers, the one that killed the most Chinese are other Chinese who tried to run away, who tried to make others Chinese soldiers to stay behind so they can run away.
Thanks for your honesty, many countries in Europe and Australia, New Zealand etc are very free and you can go out at any time and have good public transport. Unfortunately America is different and this also depends on which area you are living in the US
Serpentza says you are an OK fella …. good enough for me. I like your "lets cut the crap attitude". Look forward to more of your thoughtful insights, China is a fascinating place.
Hi Simon I got your channel from Serpentza. I have been living is China for a little over 13 years and I very much agree with you. Your views about the lack of freedoms here and lack of hope for the young chinses is very disturbing. Well done
I remember when Winston also had to water down all is commentary on any political subject. What you do is very significant to me. I will be listening. Stay awosom!
I think so many ordinary Chinese people are very much like the early patriots who founded America, their protests in Hong Kong prove this and Simon comes across as very much like those smart brave people, keep up the fight.
Indeed, many ordinary Chinese people are very much like the early patriots who founded America that they work their butt off to improve their living standard and their country. They need a stable society to succeed. The Hong Kong rioters are not those ordinary Chinese people. The rioters want to ruin the society.
SerpentZA sent me. I think it depends what you compare China to. Had been living in Egypt, very easy to offend people. In China, I can eat whenever and whatever I like, dress like I want etc.
You are smart and brave guy. I am so glad there are still young people like you in mainland of China. Hope you will not have any trouble in mainland posting these videos....
@Dave WA of course, he did not break any laws at all. Well, in mainland of china, the censorship is becoming stricter and stricter. I just hope more and more young people like Simon Yu can speak out for right things and experience no trouble from the government. You know, dissidents in mainland of China are not welcome.
Dave WA peaceful China? Wow...tell me, if it is so peaceful, why the government has installed cameras everywhere in Mainland ? I am not anti-China. I am anti- communism for sure. You cannot even tell the difference between China and the communist party. Please stay inside your hole. This world knows what is going on in mainland and your words only prove you have been brainwashed by propaganda...
L F Hi, I think there is a mistake in your logic. Actually these cameras contribute to the decrease of the crimes. Or we can say if you do obey the law, there is nothing to worry about, but if you do a crime, then the camera will spot you and police will take you to the jail. I’m a Mainland Chinese studying in Paris now, now I’m really willing to get back to China. As last year, i was robbed two times and was stolen once, I’m really willing to see cameras on the paris streets！
Le KANG hahaha, please go back. You are just a chinaman with brainwashed logics. Please don’t speak out what you just typed In France and make other people laugh at you.
I'd say that after the first 2 items, they sound less like "freedom" and more like _privilege_ conferred by coming in with a relatively high surfeit of wealth compared to the average person. "Paying a low charge" for the service - the charge only _seems_ low because you come in with assets and earn an income that essentially puts you in the equivalent of the upper class. If you were upper class in your own country, you'd find the charges similarly "low".
SerpentZA sent me here ♡ Yes, I noticed a free/not free gap in perception when I was in China, but I noticed it between Chinese people. A prevailing head-in-the-sand mentality... probably a form of self-preservation though. God bless you, Simon ✞♡

Hello Simon Yu I watch SerpentZA and he sent me to checkout your UA-cam videos. You are very brave my family and I like your honesty and at the same time you are respectful with getting your point across.
As a Taiwanese, I was very confused by those slang used in China. And I realized those slang was created to avoid the censorship on the internet.
I think there is a difference between freedom and convinience.

The rank and file who buy into it become the cruel task masters who believe an impossibility: that one person's notion of perfection could ever be anyone else's (everyone has a different and unique idea). Hopefully soon the regime will fall.
James ...interesting analysis, also the Hong Kong problem caused by mainland Chinese political crackdown...one question, where are you from originally?
You should seek medical attention and treat paranoia
Have you translated the contents of those slogans?
For example, "Be careful to cross the road, be careful of pedestrians."
Your eyesight must be very special. You can observe that the recording device that the police carry with you has networking capabilities and can perform face recognition.
If your social credit score, assigned by the CCP, says you can't buy a train ticket, when the government controls your movement, what does it matter if there is good public transportation? Yes, a personal car is almost a necessity in the United States, outside of a small number of large cities like New York. However, the government here in the U.S. can't tell me that I can't travel to New York.
Here from serpentza. I always want to give support to Chinese people who want to make China more free and a more equal place for all Chinese people -- not just the rich and well-connected!
I've lived here for 5 years....its so insightful and nostalgic at the same time...you're brave for making a spot on experience....
I appreciate the strong sense of sincerity felt within this video.
I used to feel free, but China is becoming an increasingly difficult place to be a foreigner. Censorship has reached such levels that I can't even keep up with news from back home anymore. I rely entirely on VPN now to access the free world, and that's precarious, since the government could block VPNs anytime they choose. I don't like surrendering so much control; I want to be able to get information when and where I want. The only foreigners who 'feel free' are surface-level laowais who live in laowai bubbles and don't bother to keep an eye on what's happening in wider China, or the high-level laowais who are making good money and who leave often enough that internet blocks don't really influence them, plus their companies probably have VPNs in the office. People in the middle are finding it harder and harder to enjoy life here.
Serpentza
said to come by and say hi.
SerpentZA sent me and now I’m really enjoying the great content. I appreciate you going through the trouble to make videos for us so we can see your authentic viewpoint. Keep up the great work!
I always felt living in China was like living with your mom and dad, you can do what ever you want as long as you don't offend the family and you do your chores to contribute to the family and when mom or dad says don't go here or there or don't do this or that, you listen and obey, or you get kicked out of the house haha, and we know what being kicked out of the house in China means haha, Lots of love Simon, stay safe.
I won't make such an effort to wash the linen of my country/ family/ friends /etc in public especially to those folks who are out to pounce on my country my family my friends etc .
just to disillusion those folks. This is our culture.
I admire you that you dare to speak out this issue. Nowadays, I think the real point is too many things are defined as "sensitive" in China. I don't remember who said this: " Without the freedom of criticism, praise will be meaningless". Maybe it explains.....
What do you think would happen if the "sensitive" things came unsensitive and were opened?
Minor correction: foreigner's need permit to enter Tibet, but no permit is required for entering Xinjiang.
Though I believe criticizing government in general is alright in China, especially local governments, I think we all have seen examples where there were really negative feedbacks about certain local government online, and there were consequences for those local officials. I also sort of understand why they tend to delete online posts that directly go against central government or attack key officials of the country, because the structure of the governance in China requires to maintain a high level of authority for the top governing bodies.
One thing I'd like to mention is that if you like outdoor activities, your freedom is really limited in most inland cities, the air pollution is just bad, unless you really don't care about your health. A lot of people have rhinitis and pharyngitis. The situation did improve quite a bit in the past few years in the city I live (it used to be weeks of continuous heavy air pollution in the winter, truly depressing experience), but still unhealthy a lot of the times. I have air purifiers on 24x7 at home, but when I have to take my children outside I hesitate a lot of the times because of the air quality.
What triggers me politically, is a cult of personality building around certain current leader, like we haven't had enough of this in the past. Like all online news media have to pin a news article about him at the top (really? someone wants attention that bad?), like those changes in constitution that you mentioned in your video. The trend is pretty alarming I would say. By 2023 if things had gone south I would want to move to another country.
I do really hope that more and more Chinese people have the awareness just as you.
Look at my answer
He is a double standard, and China has no particularity.
Compare it with the same situation, you will find that he is talking about prejudice
The701010 Sorry。I don't agree with him。
i visit china, them chinese even allow to protest.
He is telling the truth but selectively. A smart approach.
He is Taiwanese, of course has a very “strong awareness” of freedom
Good points. I do feel comfortable living here but since I work for a Chinese company with mostly Chinese co-workers I am continually reminded what things I can do that they find very difficult. "Your experiences will vary" is something everyone needs to understand. Cheers.
Thank you for telling us the actual picture
I previously worked in a European company with about 95% foreign employees. The office was a sanctuary. However, I didn't really appreciate that until I started working in my current place, which is 95% Chinese, among them a couple of Party members. I can't walk into the office and vent about shit I've seen around town or about how Xi's government has blocked yet another website. I have to keep quiet now and that stifles me. It's not doing my mental health much good.
@@8964TS You kinda need some friends to talk about shits like that, not co-workers. That said, nothing wrong with party members, people are still people, one of my co-workers, a party member, is freaking more liberal than I am.
I found this channel through Winston and Matt (ADV China). And I am not disappointed! I love to hear a mainlander's opinion. You seem very genuine the way you come across. I really like the cooking video you made too. Keep up the good work!
finally a channel by a real Chinese person in English. I prefer this over the other channels run by foreigners, because only Chinese critizes China for the interests of China, foreigners do that for their own interests.
Simon is typical of so many smart, open minded Chinese, who love their country.
Well done Simon, but be careful please.
You made me notice that most of foreigners that don’t understand Chinese have no idea what is happening on Chinese media.
I did not notice about that and it really gave me a hint why the world often obviously misunderstands China.
I am a foreigner and don’t speak any single piece of Chinese but I am from Japan.
I can barely read signs in modern China because we borrow characters from China and you are borrowing big modern vocabulary from japan.
For Japanese people it is not so difficult to find out propaganda which cannot be seen in free countries are in every corner of Chinese city and media.
Fortunately, I am able to read to some extent ,classic Chinese sentences over 1400 - 3000 year ago that average modern Chinese people were not be able to read anymore because Japanese high school ( better ones) teach students to read 漢文 or 唐詩 or whatever.
Whenever I communicate with Chinese people, I write down my bad classic Chinese sentences .
For Japanese who are also foreigner, Chinese are a completely different language that average people do not understand at all with ears but it is understandable to some degree.
The Chinese Communist party make propagandas to sound like old proverbs and put social ethic feelings that people should follow in them like 故事成語, where people can be happy thanks to great supreme leader and if they are not , they don’t make as much efforts as social model like person, which read really creepy and like covering up over the oppression.
Thank to this video, I noticed that no other foreigners who don’t understand the character s were able to catch those unfree feelings in China and that makes them misunderstand and overvalue China in badly positive way.
Gweilo 60 Is a Canadian living in China who is one of the most rational and objective person I have heard when he speaks on China and it's people.
Gweilo 60 is a commie evil man
SerpenZA send me here. You raised points that others don't mention that are worth learning. Thank you for that :)
當你說真話時候，卻要，擔心人身安全，擔心工作保障，擔心子女就學，擔心半夜敲門聲的時候，你才能體會甚麼是自由。
當你有宗教信仰的時候，你卻要，擔心人身安全，擔心工作保障，擔心子女就學，擔心半夜敲門聲的時候，你才能體會甚麼是自由。

Hello from Northern California. I am married to a Chinese woman from Tianjin...Thanks for your content..
Serpentza sent me.Subscribed!
Serpentza sent me. It’s nice to see such a free thinking open minded mainlander.
Papyrus Okagbue wow that was uncalled for. You’re a delightful human being I see. 🤣
you have to kown that no country could satisfy every people.
I have binge-watched most of your videos. Some of your videos, I could feel your anger, trustrations, and tears.
You are the real patriot who truly loves your fatherland and its people.
I have been living in china, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Macau since May 2016. I really feel FREE moving my self in China Territory!!.......SerpentZa sent me !!
Dear Simon, PLEASE be careful about what you say.
You have a wife and parents and extended family. The authorities can threaten them as much as they can threaten you.
Meanwhile, I do genuinely appreciate your videos, which provide an honest view of an important culture that I've never visited and that I probably never will visit.
Now you are brainwashed. As long as he does not organize anything, he is very safe saying whatever he wants to say, no government agency will threaten him or his family. What he says may be censored, but he will not be physically harmed. Otherwise, this channel would not have existed.
@@sjsupa -- I hope that you are right. I've known other people who have criticized the Chinese government -- police invade their homes, police spy on them, the authorities make trouble for their relatives, ...
If you only as a tourist from any “normal” country, you can also use any apps without vpn, because no chance your sim-card, no censorship to your mobil phone.
My U.S. SIM card does not allow me to access certain Apps n websites (Google Maps, WhatsApp, LINE, Facebook, Yahoo mail, hotmail, Gmail, etc.)
when I was at BeiJing, ShangHai, and ShenZhan airports.
I also bought Chinese SIM cards at the airport when I travel there, and they definitely do not allow access to the above Applications and sites.
SerpentZa sent me. From a fellow Simon, I wish you well from across the Pacific ocean.
Always take care comrade Simon. I appreciate your courage to speak up about what's actually happening in Mainland.
P.S. I discovered your channel through ADV China.
Foreigners feel free in China because foreigners are free to leave. SERPENTZA sent me. Great video.
i was informed by serpentza and i like your channel.
Ni Hao. I followed over from Serpenza's channel where he recommended you. It's interesting to hear your perspective. I think any country can seem more free to foreigners, who maybe don't know the ins and outs of the way the countries government work. Some forms of control can be subtle. And even in the west, we get media redirected and not delivered on some of our social media platforms. You are not alone in that. I suppose where the difference comes in, is in the consequences, which I would say are far more severe in china. Though no country is above evil when it suits them, even the USA, or the UK where I live.
Before I found Serpenza's channel, All I had was our media's representation of China, which wasn't favourable, or entirely truthful. Serpenza's channel was a window inside, and showed a more complex picture, with many good people, just trying to get on in their life, like in many other parts of the world. Sure, there are small differences, but there is also many things we have in common, and that is where we should all start.
Thank you for sharing your experience, and I look forward to watching more of your videos. Xie Xie.
I would recommend that you follow UA-camrs, Barret (two British guys working in China) and Gweilo60 (a Canadian married to a Chinese lady) who live in China and Canada. They will give you their frank opinions on China.
@@kennyng2289 and Daniel Dumbrill and the JaYoeNation!
@@kennyng2289 Not really. They censor themselves. Those guys don't even speak much Chinese, they have no idea what actually goes on. If they see it they look the other way. You will not get a single honest word out of these guys. They know if they criticize anything they are off the gravy train. ua-cam.com/video/ZewBxALZaTw/v-deo.html

I really don't understand China haters, always giving the reason, "You can't say anything bad about China or you can't criticize the CPC". If the CPC has treated the people well, why is there a need to criticize them? They've alleviated 800 millions people from poverty. They even give free housing to the extreme poor people. Do you criticize them. Are you aware that 95.5% of the people supported the CPC? Of course Simon Yu is not one of the 95.5%. I feel sorry for him. Why don't he moved to Taiwan since his wife is from Taiwan. Or why don't he migrate to US or Europe? I don't know why he doesn't like his own country and govt. If he lives in my country, he will be treated as second class citizens. Many oversea Chinese like myself support China and its govt. China is my grandparent's motherland. We were taught to respect our parent, our grand parent. Singapore is a democratic country, right? Do you think you can criticize Singapore govt? Try it in public when you go there. Even in my country, we can't criticize our govt openly or risk being charged and go to jail. Moreover, my country practice racism and treated the Chinese as second class citizens. Do you think US has freedom? US has faked freedom. Why does US sanction countries and people who go against her? When Germany wanted to buy gas from Russia, US wanted to sanction Russia. No country and humans are perfect. China is not perfect, but she takes care of her citizens, unlike US who take cares of the 1% super rich people and the military complex. US does not take care of the poor. That's why there are so many homeless people. And US invade and bomb countries. She should be know as United Satan of America for the wars and killing. Follow Cyrus Janssen UA-cam. He is an American who lives in Canada now. He can criticize China, right? Since he lives in Canada and not in China. He is fair in his comments on China if you don't trust foreign UA-camrs living in China.
@@kennyng2289 A long comment, going down the usual list of anti-west comments. I am not going to address them all, since what-aboutism is not the point here.
Cyrus Janssen's business is to help people from Canada set up accounts in China. Of course he is not going to be in any way critical of China. His business can be shut down in an instance, as has happened recently to tutoring businesses in China. The Chinese government acts arbitrarily and without transparency.
I am a Taiwanese. I started to sensor myself after finding out China has established police stations all over the world. I silent myself but at the same time, feeling so bad and so sad, knowing that one day if same thing happened to me, there are people like me, didn't dare to say anything even they feel for me. To me, Chinese and Hong Kong people who joined the 1989 Tiananmen Square Protests and 2019 Hong Kong anti-extradition are hero, so are you.
My wife is Chinese and Serpentza recommended you. So I check out your channel.......all the best to you and your family....
More power to you, serpentza sent me. Glad he did. You take care now.
Once again Mr. Yu, a very "balanced" presentation by a very ordinary Chinese guy ... keep the "razor's edge"... you are an AMAZING voice for many ...
I see a very kind and Compassionate Man, There is No doubt that you will be a part of something great. The world awaits.
You are one of the most beautiful, understandable Chinese people I ever know. Thanks for making this video even when you are in China.

J. I wish more Chinese young men would be just like you.
Btw I'm subscribed since SerpentZA made a shoutout a few months ago and I'm really glad you're working on the channel. It's one of the most honest ones on UA-cam right now.
we may be able to walk around with a beer in our hand on the streets and walk across the street against a red light without getting an expensive ticket, but that does mean we are "free" in china.
👏可以肯定的你的这个视频在国内网站应该放不出来。最后的部分有一点感动。不知道你有没有孩子，有了孩子以后就能有更深的体会。好多时候我都不敢发出自己的声音，就忍一忍，让自己去适应。但是心里真的很郁闷。祝福❤️
呵呵 做个标准的公民不行？ 正常人99.9999%的普通人真的需要因为什么事情跟政府对抗? 日子只会越来越好,不是吗 比起十年前.
People might generally feel free when they live abroad, away from the rules and codes of their home.
...if their home is not free.:-)
That is true. When people live abroad, they feel free because nobody really knows them any more.
serpentza sent me. I visited Taiwan 38 years ago. I visited the National Palace Museum and was blown away by the beautiful ancient bronzes and cultural artifacts. I am so gratified to see Taiwan become so successful over the years. Donald Trump will make sure that Taiwan will remain free. I want to return to Taiwan and eat at your night markets. And don't forget your brethren in Hong Kong.
Great insights, Simon. Really impressed by your English, too.
雞蛋裡挑個骨頭，我覺得不該使用「自由」這個詞彙來總括描述這支影片「前半段」所描述的情境，我覺得應該要用「人身相對安全」、「交通相對方便」、「物價相對低廉/便宜」來描述。然而外國人在中國大陸所獲得的「人身相對安全」、「交通相對方便」、「物價相對低廉/便宜」，「代價」卻是有大量的中國大陸人付出了他們自己的勞力與時間所建構出來的社會環境。
最好細分一下，例如明確區分 時間自由、言論自由、XX自由 等等。光使用「自由」這個詞彙太過於籠統了。
台湾25k低薪 能在天龙国买房？
額外話，若要真心的認真問問題，就不要使用一些自以為是的「代詞」。
FlyingTaiwanese it depends which sides you want to focus on, positive or negative, if you will challenge the political stuff, you will end up unsatisfied and hating mindset without changing the status. China can be totally freedom but the question is how much we can take if the worst thing happens leading to chaos and unrest. After the www2, to some certain every country are on the way of democracy no matter whether they like or not.
麻煩請回應我符合國語用詞習慣的中文。雖然說我是可以去查英漢字典，基本上也還是可以閱讀與理解，但我懶，我會選擇當作沒看到。我之所以回應這支影片，是因為他有提供中文字幕！

Serpentza sent me. I have had association with China since 1993, there was always a sense of control in the early days which was suffocating, by about 2007 the country felt dynamic, people were finding their voice and opinions not previously heard were being voiced. Then came the Olympics, the smartphone and a new Chairman and the hammer & sickle reappeared and the sense of control had returned in a new insidious way.
Thank you for being so brave

SerpentZA sent me!
Serpentza seems fairly objective actually.
@Sean Yee LOL, of course you would say that. Any criticism about China is also with "The West did it", it has becomes an excuses for everything. You know where CCP got that? Religions, "The Devil did it" is the same excuses to use for everything.
@Sean Yee All your rant and yet a story from Japanese soldier who invaded China would tell otherwise. In the story, Japanese soldiers said they would not even expect to win due to the size of the army which 3 or even 4 to 1. However, to theirs surprise, after the first invasion, they felt unreal because they barely killed any Chinese soldiers, the one that killed the most Chinese are other Chinese who tried to run away, who tried to make others Chinese soldiers to stay behind so they can run away.
Thanks for your honesty, many countries in Europe and Australia, New Zealand etc are very free and you can go out at any time and have good public transport. Unfortunately America is different and this also depends on which area you are living in the US
Winston sent me here. I applaud your honesty. Stay safe.
I came here via Serpentza. Great contents Simon ! Thank you for all the true stories.
After you posted this video, wish you remain "peace" without disturbing from you know who.
He is still free so you can see how horrible Chinese government is
Serpentza says you are an OK fella …. good enough for me. I like your "lets cut the crap attitude". Look forward to more of your thoughtful insights, China is a fascinating place.
Hi Simon I got your channel from Serpentza. I have been living is China for a little over 13 years and I very much agree with you. Your views about the lack of freedoms here and lack of hope for the young chinses is very disturbing. Well done
Serpent sent me and I’m glad he sent me, definitely subscribed 😄
I remember when Winston also had to water down all is commentary on any political subject. What you do is very significant to me. I will be listening. Stay awosom!
I think so many ordinary Chinese people are very much like the early patriots who founded America, their protests in Hong Kong prove this and Simon comes across as very much like those smart brave people, keep up the fight.
Indeed, many ordinary Chinese people are very much like the early patriots who founded America that they work their butt off to improve their living standard and their country. They need a stable society to succeed. The Hong Kong rioters are not those ordinary Chinese people. The rioters want to ruin the society.
Amazing. Subscribed. Support.

You are smart and brave guy. I am so glad there are still young people like you in mainland of China. Hope you will not have any trouble in mainland posting these videos....
@Dave WA of course, he did not break any laws at all. Well, in mainland of china, the censorship is becoming stricter and stricter. I just hope more and more young people like Simon Yu can speak out for right things and experience no trouble from the government. You know, dissidents in mainland of China are not welcome.
Dave WA peaceful China? Wow...tell me, if it is so peaceful, why the government has installed cameras everywhere in Mainland ? I am not anti-China. I am anti- communism for sure. You cannot even tell the difference between China and the communist party. Please stay inside your hole. This world knows what is going on in mainland and your words only prove you have been brainwashed by propaganda...
L F Hi, I think there is a mistake in your logic. Actually these cameras contribute to the decrease of the crimes. Or we can say if you do obey the law, there is nothing to worry about, but if you do a crime, then the camera will spot you and police will take you to the jail.
I’m a Mainland Chinese studying in Paris now, now I’m really willing to get back to China. As last year, i was robbed two times and was stolen once, I’m really willing to see cameras on the paris streets！

Brilliant to get the perspective of a real Chinese citizen. SerpentZA sent me.
I'd say that after the first 2 items, they sound less like "freedom" and more like _privilege_ conferred by coming in with a relatively high surfeit of wealth compared to the average person. "Paying a low charge" for the service - the charge only _seems_ low because you come in with assets and earn an income that essentially puts you in the equivalent of the upper class. If you were upper class in your own country, you'd find the charges similarly "low".
Thanks for your perspective! 👍🏾👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you for explaining this issue so well. You are true hero for openly talking about the truth

自由和方便/便捷是不同的，在中国没有新闻自由，言论自由，人权。
这是我们政府为了发展和稳定所做出的牺牲....尽管他们没有问过我们的想法...这让我们大部分人很不舒服,但这种牺牲带来的回报是显而易见的,我们大体还是选择理解他们
@@user-hz7mw8uz1c 至少不是必须需要，但对人们在需要的时候限制他们自由是可以提高政策执行的速率的。
举个例子，比如为了开发一套能够让周边人们都富裕起来的经济项目，我们会强制要求那些居住在上面的居民离开并且给予他们补偿--在美国这样做是不人道、应该谴责的--可实际上这样做对于大部分的人来说是有益正确的，这就是说我们的基础建设能够如此迅速展开并且饱负活力的原因。
美国有吗？有言论自由，詹姆斯干嘛被洗版？你敢在美国讲一句尼哥吗？美国的警察看你不配合就开枪有考虑人权吗？
