- In this video my friend Ryan experiences Shanghai for the first time.
Ryan has been living in Taiwan for the past year, and flew here this morning straight from a trip in Thailand. Ryan will be working in Shanghai for the foreseeable future, and has no previous experience of Mainland China, so let me know what kind of videos you'd like to see us do together!

Yoo Take him with you in the Subway fr. :D
Great idea! He only just arrived so hasn’t been in the subway yet, so I’ll take him and see his reaction!
Any more video ideas, post them below!
for a sec i was thinking why subway? the sandwich isn't particularly famous in china? lol

@@Harveyinchina I just finished watching your video and was gonna suggest the subway too. Hope he gets to see the Chengdu subway since he mentioned the city. Thanks for sharing the video Harvey.
As an architect, I was shocked about the efforts putting in the public spaces for everyone.

Yes indeed, that's everyone dream, love from Indonesia
Welcome, China is the Pearl in the oyster of the 21st century!!!🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳
The Pearl Delta region is an pearl by itself !
I've been living in China now for a couple months and it is very different.I came to work in China, aside from some culture shock, I could fit in with the community. I can enjoy travel and adventure or riding the subway and go to the mall all without the threat of being killed. The kids are not being shot in school, they're just learning and growing. The people are all given meaning and purpose and don't act out a sense of hopelessness and having nothing to lose. It is very different.Having been studying and working in the USA for 5 years, I can tell you it is much safer to live in China. Things are not perfect there in China, but at least it is improving while life in western countries going downhill as poor getting poorer. Glad you love China so much. Hope you will stay. Thanks for your video !
why do people always put this line in their comment "Things are not perfect there in China" or something similar along the line? Nobody expects China to be perfect. Even US and Canada are not perfect, and people don't expect them to be perfect. What kind of thing or how perfect do people expect from China? No one is perfect in this world. No country is perfect in this world. So why expect China to be perfect? It's just so puzzling why people always add "China is not perfect" or " it needs improvement" something like. I find it so strange to have this line in their as if China is expected to be perfect. This is so silly and arrogant to expect a huge country like China to be perfect. I mean China is very nice and more than good enough to live comfortably.
meaning and purpose = Confucius...every chinese is like working hard, save money, invest wisely, get an education, move up in life. I want to thank my father who is chinese, he worked 16 years as a dishwasher. he cumulated 2 properties in San Francisco which all inherit to me. Because of people work hard in front of me, I get to live well as well.
when i see white, black, brown homeless on streets of USA, i'm so upset. GET A JOB LIKE MY FATHER!!!
Have you seen the recent news in Philadelphia, USA, that many homeless people on the streets have turned into zombies because of drug use. This is not the America it used to be.@@ninersnation3298
@@annilanta9054 Totaly agree. Very well said.
@@annilanta9054the double standard
To see Harvey beaming with pride and joy showing Ryan the Bund is quite something! 🙂👍
Now we know why the ancient Chinese could have built the Great Walks and the Grand Canal.
I think you mean the Great Wall ...it was meant to keep the "Barbarians" out ! It was only roughly about a century ago that China's Foreign Affairs Department was forced to rename it from "Department of Barbarian Management" by the British after loosing the Opium Wars !
精衛填海 愚公移山
中国人自己并不会每次提到长城和大运河来体现民族自豪感，我的意思是，这两个旷世巨构非常有争议性。建造长城和运河所花费的是中国人祖辈的心血，大运河和长城是以封建王朝沉重的徭役堆砌而成的，以人权角度来看待，这显然不符合公民自身的利益。
“Oh, that’s insane!” --- I guess everything is insane in China when your eyes have never seen such grandeur!
I'm from the UK too and have just been to America. Just by watching your videos impressed me about China. Coffee in UK and US is 3 to 4 time more.
Shopping malls in the US has high security, police everywhere, weapons detection and 'no guns' signs. everywhere.
Yea we keep them at pantry, in case something happened
Here in the USA: Smash-and-Grab robberies EVERY single day in EVERY single city!!!
And then there is the HOMELESS epidemic !!!
The large US chain stores now all have their own private army to protect their stores, it's almost like a bouncer at a night club in where they choose who gets in or out !
in china , you can not see guns and no need check guns in china at all
Yeah America is crumbling fast nowadays. All the shops and stores in downtown San Francisco are shut down due to heavy crime, theft and vandalism. Not just in SF but in many major cities across America, the degradation of this country has accelerated this past year. It's so sad and disheartening watching all this happen on the local news here in Southern California too.
Western media never shows what China is like.
I am a Chinese living in a small country in the South Pacific where the indigenous people are of African ancestry. I thought that China and Africa were backward because of what I saw in old Chinese Kung fu movies and Hollywood movies of Africa. It was not until about three years ago when I realised that China and Africa were not backward countries as I originally thought. That was when I first began watching videos of China and Africa on youtube. It was through UA-cam that I got to know a lot of things I never knew of.
I was on a similar boat as you, til I realize China had advanced so much the last two decade. China don't have many media outlet to the world as per western countries, so we rarely heard of what is like around the world til internet social media become a more popular thing, where people start getting to see how other countries are like other than how the world being portrayed by their own country where the person is in.
Yes it does. Stop lying. Endless great documentaries and coverage on China , saying how great it is.
Same with Africa. Endless great documentaries on Africa. Everyone loves Africa.
@@JohnSmith-sm7ez So tell me when you start seeing these things because I've never seen these before til China open up to the world. I don't see these in 80s 90s. I am talking world media not media within a country. Actually since you mention it I have saw many western country promotional media in those years instead. Now social media is a thing, ordinary people get to see a real country within, how people live and what it is like. Why is it so bad to actually learn what a country is like instead of pretending a giant big building is not there when it is right in front of your eyes.
They have been slandering China since the Chinese Civil War ended in 1949 and the Kuomintang entered Taiwan, and the Chinese cult Falun Gong has been slandering China because it killed innocent people in China and some were arrested and fled abroad. They infiltrate all over the world and create media to slander China
Yeah, Chongqing is a good bet. I was there yesterday. And even though I live in Hong Kong, I still found the place very impressive. The fact that its all built on steep banks along two massive rivers meant everything involved some clever planning and designs. As a Civil Engineer, my mind was in overdrive thinking about how everything were put together. Honestly, just don't bother with the cable car though. I couldn't order my ticket online because I don't have a Chinese ID number, the queue was 5 hours long so I just took the monorail but found there was very little to see around the South station. The Town Planning Exhibition Centre was great though! A lot of before and after photos and how the city evolved over the last 70 years.
Chengdu is great too! The people are soft-spoken and generally more chilled. The place is clean and modern. Kind of like seeing what China as a whole could turn into in the future. The Eastern Suburb Memory is probably one of the best Factory-turned-Art district I have been to and I have been to the several in Europe and the ones in China. Place is so big and have so many quirky things to see.
If you down that end, you should also checked out Leshan for the Buddha statue and Emeishan for the view and Taoism temples.
I briefly went by Chongqing and impressed with seeing around 60% are beautiful girls. Leshan went there like 7 times with different people.
I am sure he’s trying hard to process what he is seeing in Shanghai. I used to live in Taiwan myself and the people were nice to me but the atmosphere in Taiwan was a little boring maybe cause people are very reserved. Hopefully, I will get to share my experience in Taiwan to mainland China on my channel in the near future.
You guys enjoy your time in Shanghai and Harvey show him more and he might move to China permanently.
台湾有点被卡住的感觉，社会一直在空转，一直保持在同样一个状态。
That's great Harvey, thank you God bless.
Was there in 2014 for the first time. Loved everything about Shanghai! The Bund was my favorite too. 🤩
SH != NYC.
NYC -> Crime, crumbling infrastructure, rundown, expensive to live
SH -> Clean, friendly, no gun shooting, better metro, cheaper to live
Nice video bro..welcome to your friend in China..❤
Welcome to China, Ryan! Interested to know how he find his life in China and I look forward to seeing more travel vlogs from you Harvey!
欢迎更多外国朋友来上海看看🎉
First time in Shanghai in 2016. I visited the bund around 7.30-8pm in winter. There was this frosty misty vibe to everything. The European architecture juxtaposed with the modern skyscrapers and building lights, the people around me and the scenery. It was magical. Shanghai became my most beloved city, even beyond my own.
First of all i am Chinese and thank you so much for giving out fair view about China especially now days with these paid internet scam talking shit about China. I just moved back to China after 16 years of living in the United States. From my point of view the biggest advantage China have are safety and life style at least for me. China is a great country with great future in my option. United States has been changed so much for the past decade American used to be confident and nice to each others but now days a lot of problems have been rising which made the society more divided. But I think United States still have a lot good things and i had been enjoying it very much. I really hope both country will work things out.
hi Guys, have a great time in China and stay safe.
Cool bro! Waiting for more videos!
Love to see you young lads travelling and exploring. As old Chinese say, walking thousand miles will gain you more than reading a thousand books.
The night view of Shanghai is very beautiful, you should take him to see the night view once. Very shocked!
One thing i like to say, is I am quite happy that British people are so open minded, i genuinely love it. Kudos❤
No, please don't be mistaken. These two gentlemen are outliers in a country full of increasingly nativist, close-minded sentiment. It is precisely because of all the ill-informed assumptions and borderline anti-China lies that makes Ryan so surprised when he sees the real China. Kudos to Harvey for his wonderful channel, and for speaking out against toxic Western media narratives.
It is well known the British men like to go to Pattaya in Thailand and hook up with ladyboys.
love how frequent you produce videos lol. Great job on this one. Will be travelling to China either late this year or early next year
Ahhh remember the first time I landed in China, in Shanghai to be exact. I was gobsmacked to see so many people on the street all at once. It actually scared me and I am Chinese. The only other city where i saw that many people on the street all at one time was in Cairo. Even told my taxi driver to take me back to the hotel because there were just too many people..lol
Yeah Bund is beautiful. Even more at night. Ahhh good memories of Shanghai.
When I visited Taipei a few years ago I was surprised to find that away from the tourist areas it looked like a provincial town in China.
No change no development in Taiwan till today. It's very behind there.
@user-nw7xo2gs7mExactly!
actually, it is😂
Taiwan is part of China. Taiwan is a province of China.
Good one. I'll be interested to hear of Ryan's thoughts vis a vis Taipei as he settles down in China.
I lived in Shanghai for a couple of months back in 2018, it was such a magical time. My second home will always be in China.
And go to Xinjiang.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful video Harvey. God bless you and China. A new subscriber.
Birds of a feather flock together You two are friends for a reason. You both are intelligent, objective, and straight to the point.
I love China and looking for time to back there
Everyone must share their China stories... I do all the time..
Thanks for sharing.
Hey, guys! Loved your video! If/when you go to Chengdu, don't miss the LeShan Buddha. It's breathtaking!
Some of y’all may not know this. But those bumps on the sidewalk (that thick line of random bumpy tiles) is for the blind. To help guide them on the street
这年轻人刚从台湾过来，还是对大陆保持着戒心，肢体语言藏不住。
但是我相信，事实胜于雄辩。
台湾人经常大量的给西方人灌输负面的大陆，我亲身经历过很多次
你怎么知道的😂
人到一个新地方总会有点紧张，毕竟人生地不熟。
根据他去过台湾和谈及纽约的言论判断，这英国青年对中国是存有错误的偏见的。
@@tuckwengow2275 他说了没去过纽约。他说像纽约的时候加了句是我印象中的纽约
I was shocked to dead when he said "vere clean, like a bit New York"
Me: "what??!!"
Me too, he definitely has a sense of humor.
Has he ever been to New York city? He will have a correct understanding of "clean" when he take the subway.
I think you misunderstood slightly, he doesn’t mean the cleanliness is like New York (New York is dirty, everyone knows that), he means Nanjing Road feels like Times Square. That was his first impression
同shock🤣他是以为我们不知道纽约什么情况吗？
I'm interested in what your friend's experience of the Mainstream Media (MSM) in Taiwan, what they're spin on China, what ratio of media is positive toward China, anti-China and neutral. Thanks for being a good friend to your friend. The world is about friendships. There are those who create bonds and those who wish to create division... 🕊 ☯
Taiwan's mainstream media, like Western media, will only broadcast negative news about China, and most of them are fake news, and will not broadcast any positive news about China.
Taiwan media says China is in economic disaster, hundreds of jobless people sitting along the streets of Shanghai and most of the shops are forced to close down, which are all lies.😅 I just came back from Shanghai after 10 day vacation and have first hand of what is going on there .😂
I think there are thousands of Taiwanese living and working in Mainland ..
@@hbsjwg7 More than that…600k Taiwanese are doing business, working, studying and living in mainland China.
You may want to bring Ryan to visit The Bund at night. The night view is magnificent.
What I love about the Bund is the colonial buildings on one side and the modern ones on the other - so cool!
I took my husband to Beijing for the first time last month, tho I was born in Beijing, I have to admit I was shocked too lol. Funny, everytime I showed him a shopping mall he was like “man… this is the best one” 😂
More collab with Ryan please
We are just witnessing the giant standing up on his feet again.
China got old before it got rich.
是的 只是回到歷史上 她本來的位置
Forever fun with this video . Best wishes to new boys
China is a huge country, modern, clean and safe country for visitors. A huge market for world trade, modern technology, impressive buildings, transport system etc.
It's funny British people come to China is like countrymen see city first time, everything is shock. China is 20 years more advance than Euro but Europeans dont know it.
You should turn around and look at the buildings on the West Bund, all of which have a hundred years of history. There are buildings built by British and Jews. The Saison Building was built by the British. The Waibaidu Bridge was also built by the British. In the late 1990s, engineers from Shanghai and the United Kingdom jointly dismantled the bridge and rebuilt it after renovation.
Yes, when the British invaded, plundered, massacred, and colonized other places, they also built some buildings, some are nice buildings :)
Thank you for your honesty and sincere attempts to provide a personal experience and view point from Ryan. As a Senior citizen, can Ryan please be more concise and descriptive besides "it's insane; that's crazy". I can use more information and description of the places, people, comparison with Taiwan, Thailand, UK, US, any other comparison.
Once again, I really enjoy your podcasts, especially through the eyes of young people (under 60's).
That is a truthful reflection of the education received by young Americans today. Verbal and math skills are the worst in the history of US for this generation of Americans.
It’s his first time on camera, but I understand
I like your reaction so honest and so real, your content is different from others
I visited the Bund for the first time about 7 years ago. For some reason, it was totally underwhelming. Maybe the reason is that I was already middle-aged and had seen the Manhattan skyline for half a dozen times and Dubai two times, among others. So, the Bund skyline was nothing special. But, the nature in China is amazing, The Li River near Guilin for example.
I went to Shanghai in 2001, and there wasn't many buildings on the other side of the river, it looks totally different now!
As Shanghainese visited Taipei before, I agree Taipei is much smaller, price is similar in popular places. But in other districts of Shabghai, things are much cheaper than Taipei. Of course, the Bund, even London and New York can't compare to it. I have taken so many foreign friends there lol
I have been to Taiwan more than China. Taiwan is stuck in the 1980, the only difference is back in 1980 there was no 101.
it is also one of the scam call centre in the world
Taiwan belongs to China,It's just a rebellious regime.so😅
Great video!
2:19 I see the MLB (major league baseball) shop in the background. I wonder if MLB shops are also common in the UK? As far as I can recall, the British people seem not big fans of baseball.
No, these kind of stores don't exist in the UK
13RMB is a good price for coffee,even for instant coffee
Hello friend, I'm from Shanghai, and I appreciate your videos a lot! Just a tip, maybe you can change the title to 'first time on the Chinese Mainland / Shanghai' instead of 'first time in China', because your friend has been living in Taiwan after all : )
Taiwan is not part of China and never will be unless China wants to invade it just like Russia did to Ukraine because the Taiwanese prefer democracy and freedom to a one party totalitarian state.
Awesome video! You guys make it look really easy......but, how much does it cost traveling to big expensive cities like that? My Starbucks cost me $8 dollars here.
Comparing with Europe cities, Shanghai is quite cheap. I would say about 2/3 cheaper.
The Internet blocks would worry me personally, because I depend on UA-cam and Google (but I am happy to give up FaceBook!), but on the other hand, seeing all the crap and poison that's happening here, one can understand the Chinese government for wanting to shield their population from it. Hmm... 🤔
Edit: Maybe you can discuss this subject frankly in one of your next videos?
China blocked the lies about the west, the west blocked the truth about China, fair enough, you are controlled by the “western internet “ but you haven’t realized , that’s real sad for human beings. 1.43 Chinese live in Chinese social medias ( millions of platforms), you can stay in your lies , never wake up
if you look at it from another angle. the Chinese government's foresight to establish its sovereign net shares in the fruits of digital age. US has its Google, Amazon, Netflix and so on. China has its Alibaba, Tencent, Baidou, and Bytedance.
EU has none. Russia has its sovereign net as well. Imagine if China doesn't have its sovereign net.
Chinese government did not block them. It is just that those companies did not want to follow Chinese laws that govern the internet, so these companies opted not to operate in China physically. However, people in China can still access those sites using VPN, and it is not a big deal, the government won't harrass you over it if you access them.
@@willengel2458 And TikTok as well. Yes, it is a good point and certainly demonstrates Chinese entrepreneurial mindset and foresight, but I was talking about accessibility. You can access Baidou in the US, but you can't access UA-cam in China (at least not officially), etc., etc. In other words, Chinese websites are not blocked in the West, but Western sites are blocked in China. Whether or not this is a good thing is debatable, and I can imagine good arguments on either side, but it is a fact.
@@andrewzhang985 Well yes, but it's all about censorship. Forcing companies to censor information in order to be granted access to China is equivalent to blocking them. That's the major sticking point which fuels much of the anti-China hate propaganda about lack of freedom in China.
Hello from Philippines
bring him to Chongqing too
I said the same thing when I visited Shanghai for the first time this summer: comparable to New York
I am a Shanghai person ,
welcome to the SH city
In fact , I really Love VanGogh
Life should be Colorful and Sweet
Just like the Painting on your Canvas
I'm Chinese and my wife is American. We met in Chengdu, China where happen to be my hometown. We've lived in the united States about a half decade now. We are thinking to move back to China next year -- the city got a loooot better, develop a lot more in just 4 years when i went back visit. I was shocked by how clean, Safe and cheap it is Which i took for granted. The united States unfortunately goes the opposite way. Wokeness, homeless, crazy cost of living, illegal immigrants. Drugs.....I love America. But the America now it's not the America i Loved. Planning to get my wife Chinese greencard down the road.
Chongqing is a very nice city. Travel to the South is Guangzhou and Shenzhen which is nice too. Should bring him to checkout the subways station and experience on the bullet train.
Come to HK and see the sky line too~
Yo do way better vlog than months ago, keep it up mate❤
I’ve been living in Taiwan for about 14 years now. Ive only been to Taipei a few times. Taipei is not representative of Taiwan. It rains there most of the time. Things cost more money than the rest of Taiwan. I live in Taichung in the middle on the west coast (right across the Taiwan Strait from China.) it’s very easy to live here and there’s no shortage of teaching jobs for foreigners. I just want to set the record straight. A lot of foreigners end up in Taipei because it’s closer to the airports. They miss out on what Taiwan is really like. My wife and I have been to China a few times and there are some beautiful places and the people are very nice. The same goes for Taiwan.
Taiwan is part of China 🇨🇳
They should sit down and talk
I was in Shanghai in 2013 and Taipei in 2015. I thought things were cheaper in Taipei. Would love to visit Shanghai again
In any city in China, you can choose 2 pounds or 2,000 pounds as your food cost for the whole day. You can have a full meal outside with only 5RMB.
Everything is much cheaper in SH than any of the other world cities..except for housing lol one of the most expensive in Asia.
great
Your friend will love Chengdu and Chongqing. And then you can take a road trip to Lasa, Tibet from Chengdu.
❤❤❤朋友好帅，你也是🎉
cool video!
really want to go back to china one day
Go there and see and live for yourself. Media here in the UK and in western media never report any positive aspect of China :)
Where did you get pocket wifi? Will be visiting there soon. Hope for your response
How do you mean pocket wifi? Best to message on Instagram if you need specific travel tips (happy to help but I won’t get a notification for the reply to this message unless I remember to search for it)
You should've taken him there in the evening when everything is lit up.

好好待在你自己的国家，建设好你自己的国家，别想着到中国来。
New York is tiny Shanghai in US...
You just came from Thailand or Taiwan?
this video is insane
China is all about huge scale😂
Shanghai is actually way more expensive than Taipei. Coffee is probably not the best example to compare, maybe there's no cheap alternative in Taipei.
咖啡便宜是因为上海咖啡店太多了，竞争的结果
Thanks
Interesting video. Personally was disappointed with Shanghai when I first arrived over 18 years ago from Taipei but I grew to love it. It has a little bit of a bad rep amongst people from other provinces in China but having traveled extensively and lived in a couple of cities I feel it is an easy place to live and work for foreigners and given a choice I would choose it over other cities in Mainland China.
I still feel Taipei is the friendliest city I've been to in China and Taiwan seems to preserve traditional Chinese culture a lot better than Mainland China but I also very fond of Shanghai. Both Taipei and Shanghai are very good and safe places to work and live (apart from the summer humidity)
“ Taiwan seems to preserve traditional Chinese culture a lot better than Mainland China”.The Taiwanese told you, didn't they?😂
Do you know how much traditional Chinese culture there is? What traditional Chinese culture can a province that is isolated beyond the continental shelf retain that surpasses that of the Mainland? What little they have is even worse than Nanjing.
The funniest thing is that the Taiwanese don't want to recognize themselves as Chinese, and they want to emphasize that they have preserved more traditional Chinese culture than the mainland, what is this if not schizophrenia?😂
@@heyili1502 It's my own opinion. You're free to have a different one but that is mine but it's a pity whichever culture you come from didn't teach you to respect others
Taiwanese politicians use Chinese cultural relics to please the Japanese, and even use various means to "accidentally destroy" cultural relics, making some cultural relics to disappear legitimately. I don't think Taiwan has preserved Chinese cultural traditions better, and I don't even agree with the Taiwan authorities. In an attempt to protect China's traditional culture, they began to revise textbooks 20 years ago and even began to teach the younger generation the sad behavior of denying that they are Chinese. Once Taiwanese lose their identity, where will Taiwan go? sorrow
@@solas1183 True, solas1183. However, a little understanding of Chinese history - the real one, not one that is pushed by Western Media or its subjugates - will show that when the Nationalists (Kuomintang) fled the Mainland after losing the massive support of the Chinese people in the Civil War, it also robbed the entire treasury of China and packed as much museum relics and art which were sent to their last place of refuge - Taiwan. Meanwhile, in places like Beijing, the "Imperial Old Summer Palace" which was pillaged, ransacked and burnt to the ground by British and French forces in 1860, remained ruined and desolate - its remnants preserved for posterity as a reminder of what happened when the country was too weak to resist foreign invaders. Surely, you cannot be serious that the Chinese Government rebuild that palace and yet, many parts have been restored (see: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Summer_Palace ).
Being in just one or two cities of China and visiting just a few tourist trap centers doesn't reveal the depth of the country's efforts in preserving its cultural and historical heritage - something that MOST Chinese are proud to adhere to in one form or another - with the exception of the "100 years of humiliation". Until you have seen BOTH countries checking out the preserved cultural relics and artifacts in both extensively, making some preconceived judgement may be a bit hasty even if it is of one's own opinion which can be misconstrued as being "one-sided", yes?
One final point - imagine you are a space alien in a spacecraft that landed upon on Earth in the middle of "Death Valley" in northern Mohave Desert, looked around and then, reported that because you see little signs of life, declares that the Earth is uninhabited. Sure, that's your opinion in the end but is it the right one?
@@George-rj4fj I think so yes based on my own personal experience living in both for a long time. I've been in China for a long time and have traveled to many provinces, but yeah I have spent most of the time in larger cities so it may well be different in more rural areas. I view culture more as reflected by the people and how they go about their lives rather than by the number of artifacts and relics but I respect your view also. It's just a different one
@1:11, “ ..it ( Shanghai) kind of reminds me of NYC…” That statement exposes the young lad from the UK as a naive, unobservant traveler. If he were in NYC, he might have to pay life or limb for his stupidity.
He’s only been here 5 minutes 😂 I agree, but he was comparing Nanjing Road to Times Square! I prefer Nanjing Road
it's like New York except clean
Ryan is cute. Never show his channel links in yours. :P
How do you feel today's SH city
mainland China= winners= confidence. Taiwan = on the run= shy. No, I'm just being an outrageous satirist
you are so salty
How can U compare Shanghai to Taipei ??? far far away buddy ...GDP,,, !!
How can you guys wear T shirt? I just got back from Shanghai 3 days ago. It was bloody hot. I had to wear sleevless shirt.
hey, where's the restaurant where you can eat dogs???
Vietnam I guess
First,there are 56 nations in China, and only less than 5% of Chinese ate dogs, who are highly related to Korean customs.Mostly around the border of china and Korea, so why don't you criticize Koreans for eating dogs?
1，台湾是中国领土
2，你在中国台湾看到的一切，99%是从中国大陆复制过去的
3，中国大陆和中国台湾现在还是内战状态，甚至连停战协议都没有，只是双方默契停火
4，把台北和上海做比较，作为上海人，我认为是种羞辱
