What do Van Gogh reproduction oil paintings have to do with PCB circuit boards? They're more alike than you think! I want to take you on a deep dive into how the oil painting and electronics manufacturing ecosystems in Shenzhen, China are organized, explain how they're so chaotically efficient, and show you why I think they're so cool.
Learn more about the painters of Dafen and their lives in the amazing Chinese documentary chinasvangoghs...

Editing is ON FRICKING POINT!!!! Nice work editor dude!
I wonder how much harder it is to shoot a video like this if you aren't the person directly editing it. While editing you can be like "oh yeah, I need to go get this shot", but presumably all the shots were planned and made before it even made it to the editor. I would love to have my videos edited for me, but would have no idea how to get my ideas from paper to video if I wasn't the one editing it myself. Kudos to both Scotty and his new editor on making it look seamless!
Please tell me you bought that painting.
And more and more and better and better b-roll footage to use.
Chances are that because he's talking to the editors the editors will also give him points on what to do and what not to do and how to do certain things (more and or less).
Yeah! I think that this concept of crossing two different 'unverses' - is just super cool! And with editing it ends up being highly immersive! More experiments with video editing/shooting concepts please!!!! :D
What are those transitions called, those zoom and move? 0:17
all this does for me is make me wish i lived in china. this place is a maker's wet dream. being able to just roll up to a specialized shop (especially one run by individuals rather than corporations) is something I've often wished i could do when working on my engineering degree. it would be incredibly convenient and really inspiring.
the closest i can seem to get is ordering stuff off of adafruit, which pales in comparison.
This is exactly what i thought too. I would not have to order any parts from ebay or alibaba and wait for 3 weeks to arrive. Pretty much living the dream :D
@@insoYT exactly
I'd love to go but, frankly, I'm afraid of the Chinese government.
@@LanceThumping don't be silly. As long as you don't do anything illegal, Chinese government wouldn't care about you. After all , we are just ordinary people.
@@LanceThumping You may give it a try. I believe it will be totally different from your thoughts or what you learn from western media. At least several days trip wouldn't hurt.
Wow, the variety and scale of stuff made in Shenzhen is amazing
its like a massive makerspace!
@@pvic6959 One thing I think he failed to mention: many of these small booths are also representatives of large factories who produce the parts or products and you can place orders of millions with them instead of buy just a small number.
@@autohmae oh thats fascinating. its like bringing the power of factories to the people which is super cool
Even as someone who grew up there, I still get surprised all the time with its wondrous intrigues.
Yep, I worked in China for over a decade and this is only a fraction of what's available. If you want a left nostril inhaler that glows in the dark with your state motto on it you can find someone who'd make it for you in Yiwu. I believe this channel did a video on that city south of Shanghai where I was based.
I was a minor shareholder of a effect pigment factory and we wanted 500 custom made eye shadow packs for an up coming trade show. Our Chinese staff, my Chinese wife and I drove down to Yiwu, found someone who makes the right plastic case, found a cosmetic maker and the two worked together. Had a wonderful Indian lunch (a lot of Indian buyers there) and returned home. At the cosmetic show in Paris people commented to us how wonderful our eye shadow was. It cost us $1 a pack. NOTE: Chinese to Chinese get the best price, us Laowai, like me (a foreigner) get a much higher price.
Now tell me we can do this in America! lol
Right to repair would help. but was just killed again in Canada. learned a lot & really wanna start traveling to places like china & japan to see these kinda places you would never see here
mbk 5th and 6th floor in Bangkok is also just amazing - a lot like Shenzhen with just billions of miniscule shops with every part imaginable - Loved it.
but if you want to go where things find their origin, there's no way around shenzhen haha
@Lo Zam It's also parts availability. Big manufacturers get aftermarket parts stopped at customs, so repair shops have a very hard time getting parts to repair devices. Along with doing things like Apple does, locking their home buttons to their mainboard, not being able to change it yourself, etc.
@Lo Zam your ability to fix your own things is impacted when the parts you ordered from china are stolen by customs
@Lo Zam If the manufacturer intentionally bricks or cripples devices when they are repaired by third party shops or owners, that manufacturer is actively hostile to users having the right to repair their devices. Manufacturers would be forced to permit the third party repair of devices sold within that country.
Also, the right to repair has only been "killed" in Ontario, effectively by the moronic conservatives and their big business buddies. A nation wide right to repair bill was just proposed - which is far better IMO than relying on all the individual provinces coming up with their own rules on what should be a national issue.
The whole Guangdong province, including Shenzhen, Guangzhou, has recently begun offering 144-hours visa-free transit (6 days). There are 53 countries on the list, check them out.
It just amazes that places like this still exist, & think that’s wonderful. My home town in PA used to be like that down Main Street.... Sadly though, if were to walk down main stream, there’s more empty buildings/shops....than full.
Those battery vendors.....oh man, would love to visit.
Thanks for sharing YOUR adventures ✌🏻
To revive your main street commerce, Andrew Yang has a plan! ua-cam.com/video/424JObhxC4I/v-deo.html
would be interesting to see a follow up about if the painters survive the changes and where they get their printing done and everything else like that!
Wonderful! That was the most interesting and well researched videos on the Chinese micro (macro?) economies I have ever seen. I was living in Shanghai for one year in 2010 to 2011 and to a similar view on these markets (although I am aware they have completely changed by now...). They had (for example) whole buildings (multiple floors) dedicated to manufacturing glasses (around shanghai railway station). From framing to screws, custom lenses up to the tinting of sunglasses protection. I was so amazed by the vast opportunities this brings especially for the immediate production of a final product. This is one key element of having an efficient, reacting market for the customer.
Also there were tailor markets for suits (station science and technology museum) or wedding dresses and camera equipment (also Shanghai railway station).
Thank you so much for your great videos. You manage to catch that specific chaotic and simultaneously Organizer vibe of these places so well in your videos. Makes me long for coming back to that (literally) wonderful country. Keep up your great work!
Greetings from Berlin, Germany :)
I just about to leave China after a two week trip through 4 cities.
I learned that China is such an incredible country that will easily outcompete Europe (my home) if people don't change something.
China is much more efficient. Maybe it might not be as good in having ideas, but once an Idea is created they will most likely produce it and improve it.
I love this country and hope to visit Shenzhen one day
Europe is done. Middle Eastern ruined your society and Chinese ruined your economy...
@@dickmcvagina7168 I knew someone will talk about immigration.
@linoox lee They don't.
That is a stupid idea china has been innovating and creating ideas too 5g for example all the world infrsastructure is based on huawei 5g telecomunication infrastructure
I was ordering parts for an old laptop recently as a little project and one of the parts came from shenzhen and it reminded me of your videos. thanks for your videos it's nice to have a picture in my head of where it came from.
I am a lost creative mind in the cold and over regulated west... I really have to hold back my tears if i see all this creativity , tools, energy and ideas. I love your videos... Buildung something or just talking ... I love it. Really.
Ended up watching the whole Dafen documentary after this. Quite nice and make me really think about the meaning of life. Thanks for sharing.
The transitions between scene cuts are so kick ass. I love how much this has evolved.
This is easily one of the best channels. The b-roll was spot on edited in really well with everything else, and goes without saying that opener where you're bouncing back and forth was great. One of my good friends I met in college lives near that painting village spot actually, both he and I work on one-off sculptures/figures.
Love the editing style of this video. Epic job Editor!
i am a Texture Artist for a Flight Simulation Software Company, so I can appreciate the Painting these people are doing and then reproduced in such a Manner. Fantastic Video !
People that hate on Chinese goods should watch this video and see the abundance of talent. They are efficient and good quality...just gotta get it from the right store...or booth lol.
Talk to the people who’s IP they steal
Akkbar they are Chinese...not Russian.
yes, they should. no, they won't. they might click into these videos but leave after a few minutes and say "what a bunch of crap", and go back to their China-bashing videos and comment "agreed 100%" before the video even starts rolling. Confirmation bias is a vital psychological tool for a lot of people to make sense of the world to themselves.
Manual Control couldn’t agree more my friend.
China is like everywhere. They can make crazy stuff with the right materials and budget. But they aren't magicians, they can't do miracle with the low cost stuff most of the company pay them to make.
7:42 in the background.. I see you..

Wow, your videos just get better and better. The editing and the flow of the content is just awesome.
Scotty, every one of your videos feeds my sense of wonder. You and Naomi Wu have made Shenzhen one of my bucket list locations to visit in my remaining years on this planet. You open so much to my learning that it's hard to even realize all of it. You bring a sense of exploration and educate us so much on the local area and vast expanse of expertise available there. Thank you and please continue!
How weird will those Audible plugs sound in 50 years when some history student does some research in the internet video archives about the rise of China.
A message to the random future person from 2069... Hi! :D
Guess what, they run into your comment.
this guy is so smart, he can find their relations and explains everything so fluently and clearly.
I like the way you explained both Electronics and Art side by side. Awesome man. Way to go.
I love both Electronics and painting.
I love the way that you relate those two areas of business that may seem that have absolutely nothing in common, but that its actually their roots or goals what make them so similar! You definitey do a great job in showing us outsiders just how diverse, big and awesome Shenzhen actually is!
Keep up the great content Scotty, I absolutely love it!
This was basically the US before cities got into zoning, and the State and fed started regulating business so hard.
These business relationships and neighborhoods are a natural thing. They only go away when you make rules against them-intentionally or not.
What you are seeing at the end is similar to what happened here in the US- the city is clearing everyone out-likely because they want to "clean up" the area.
An example of this neighborhood in the US-AT least the skeletal remains would be the (now so-called) 'Design District' in Dallas TX, where, Ironically the same types of people who helped destroy it years ago it now buy up the properties to set up fancy galleries.... but anyway, you see these rows of old shops on every street crossing Irving Blvd, each with a now-defunct railroad spur running behind them at their back doors. Driving through there, looking at what's left behind, you can still feel the beehive of activity that used to go on there. It's unlike anything else in this Nation today-and was the source of much of the prosperity and natural human activity we are missing today... (we act like that's not the case, but deep down we all know there's some big things missing in our world. This is one).
No.w those railroad spurs are being made into jogging trails, etc.... what a world we live in...smh
Evil government regulation is evil >:(
I really like and agree with the things you said, but just for people passing by reading: I've been to the design district and it absolutely pales in comparison you've seen in the video. It's rather small. Just a handful of shops. Nice. Artsy. But small.
isn't it just outside competition that caused it? That's the thing about capitalism, it works great when you are at the top, it works less great when you aren't...
It's not really evil government. People got brainwashed into thinking the ideal was a house with the white picket fence and a car after WWII ended. With the rise of Suburbia also came this idea of things being sterile and homogeneous....and segregated. Where cities were dynamic, yes at times dirty, but always someone new and different. Cities stagnate today because they're subject to the extreme reactionary desire to stop the irrational desire to dismantle cities during the 1950-1970's. A lot of things that haunt the US today come from the 1950's - 1970's.
Thanks!
Cool. Nice interview at the end.
The hustle of the Electronics market and the calmness of the painting markets!!! Brought together so beautifully!! Amazing job Scott
Shenzhen is an awesome city!!! I use to live there, it has a lot of interesting things! Nice video😎👍
My Chinese Langauge teacher was from Shenzen China and she was an English teacher there.
the air quality is horrible, the building quality is sucks, foods contamined with chemical waste, the water ia gray and has strong chemical smells. thats the most interesting things in there
Mamam your English "is sucks." And none of that is true about Shenzhen.
@@TheSingularity8 yes, my english sucks but what i said is true. i wasn't exagerating it...
city maybe yes. but how about all the censorship? And other shit chinese government do, to control their population?
i'm really impressed how you turned this channel into essentially a mini doc channel from the success of a few iPhone videos and they're all so interesting. Great work man!
Question...what microphone do you use? The clarity and sound is awesome! Thank you.
I love the behind the scenes you do. It really gives more perspective of things we honestly would probably never see if it weren't for you!
they created a strong ecosystem in China, giving everyone a chance and letting anyone be the best at what they do. wondering how this is developed so differently compared to western ecosystems
We prioritized power over individualism, which manifest itself in regulatory capture and the invention of intellectual monopolies like copyrights and patents.
I am confused. I am a Chinese, and what u said was i been told how west country is or how capitalist market works for many years. Every book said that.
@@GameFirst I know it is 4 months later, but i can try to answer. Of course it is both capitalism and there are many similarities. The type of economy present in Shenzen is not really much present in the west anymore. It used to be different in the west maybe 100 years ago. Three differences are size of each company, the level of regulation and copyright laws. Many people working there in the markets are either self employed or work for a small business. As he said in the video many people doing their work, by trading with parts or using them in manufacturing. Here something like that barely exists. If you want parts you need to go to a parts store, which is just a very typical retail store that employs a number of people, or you need to buy it online. All the parts you can buy there are from some bigger brands, that source their products from other companies or manufacture themselves in a big factory. Many of the smaller stores that do repairs closed down because they could not compete. Just as an example this is in Hannover, Germany
www.google.com/maps/place/Conrad+Electronic/@52.3764681,9.7317391,3a,75y,90t/data=!3m8!1e2!3m6!1sAF1QipOzoGjUPbsYuBNyElLinP7wr_pzczCjuQ1elKX7!2e10!3e12!6shttps:%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2Fp%2FAF1QipOzoGjUPbsYuBNyElLinP7wr_pzczCjuQ1elKX7%3Dw203-h198-k-no!7i960!8i941!4m8!1m2!2m1!1sconrad+electronics!3m4!1s0x0:0x27635ac47a450689!8m2!3d52.3764375!4d9.7318268
They sell many Consumer electronics, but they also sell parts. Pure part stores barely exists anymore
Much stricter safety regulations have obviously many benefits, less people are harmed by something that is toxic or explodes etc.. but the other effect is that only big enough companies are able to meet the regulations. Also the way of "tinkering" that you can see here in the video is not that lucrative here in the west. You can do for yourself whatever you want, but you have to be careful when you sell the modified product. Let's say you are repairing a phone and use a faulty part, then the phone explodes and the person gets a burning. Now if they can find out that you sold this phone you are in a lot of trouble, you might even go to jail for that.
So you better use only original /not second hand parts ... and here is the key point. It is just not so profitable to use only the original parts (which are also not second hand). The whole part reselling parts business can not be done in the same way.
Another point is that nowadays most electronic parts are manufactured in Asia, so the people in Shenzen are just much closer to the source. ..
So to sum it up, in the west it is: safer, more regulated, more professionalized, much more expensive for the end customer, and more boring :(
I think that China is loosing some of those characteristics and becoming more like the west. I really do not know it, i am not Chinese, but their is a tendency towards bigger companies and less small business entrepreneurship. Also the city administration wants more organized and cleaner looking cities, so they prefer stores over street vendors etc.....
So you can see why something like the markets in Shenzen are so interesting and fascinating for a person from Europe or NA.
I think that part of the Chinese economy is very fascinating because it allows people to "work their way up" and have the ability to make some decision while doing it. Maybe this is too philosophical but i think it is much better for the human psyche to work in conditions where they have some way of deciding what to do The gigantic factories where thousands of people screw something together are in my opinion at least the more depressing side of the Chinese economy.
This really shines light onto my once dark imagery of the east. I used to think little of the east comparing it to smog filled cities with no purpose and no heart within those who live in it. But you’ve helped me realize how special this place is. I’d love to visit here and I’m glad you’ve helped me realize it.
Instantly noticed the editing quality improvement :)
That documentary mentioned during the piece is very good. It's hard to imagine so much change in so little time.
"Holy banana balls Batman!" i'll steal this exclamation
Did you see the caption 9:26?
@@dwong98 OMG THIS IS AWESOME
Being a guy who is from SHENZHEN! I learned more from YOU about my town.... Thank you.
Having electronics as one of my hobby's the markets in Shenzhen look like so much fun xD
I loved this so much. It was sad to learn about the painters being moved on. Although no where near to this extent, it reminded me of a place that was basically my 2nd home in South Africa, this flea market that got torn down after I had moved to the UK. There was a bit of everything there. Pet store, to an internet cafe that sold PC parts, to a phone shop or even a shop that would chip PlayStations. Would sometimes although not often, have people carving things out of wood. Places like these are definitely being transitioned out, and think it's an amazing idea, be your on boss, do what you want to do. I've watched many shows about china or at least episodes and know them for both creativity and copying.
Thank you for your time and for this lovely content.
There use to be a place like this just off tottenham court road in London no as big it was like to or three alleys nothing to big and there were places that would sell a lot of electronics at the end of them but is gone now it's a shame I remember going there when I was a kid and being like it's all so cool but now I'm an "adult" and would love a place like that handi it's all separate and you have to search all over or do like I do and just use the internet. Also bought that one thin on audible cant wait ta give it a try
Not what you mean but that place is called AliExpress.
they where great places, built my first pc's from there.
you still can find stealing item market in London that running by Indian/Pakistani imbecile lol

Really enjoy your content bro!
welcome to china, it's easy than you thought.
@@nangongyiyun Lol
Honestly you've been one of the biggest icons and adverts to travel to China. Since i started watching Simple Parts i wanted to visit so badly.
Video essays like this are lot more interesting compared with iphone mods, really wish it’s longer, keep up the good work!
I misread "Painted PCBs" and was extremly excited. Now that I watched the video, I'm left fascinated. I'm not even mad! Great Video!
TOTALLY AWESOME video, that blends art and electronics and emerging culture/technology. Keep up the great work!!
Your videos are never just about technologies for the geeks. They always have adventurous stories, unique insights and perspectives, and most importantly your extraordinary passion and genuineness. I just want you to know how much I appreciate your work!
I wonder if you had a more in-depth interview with Mr. Zhou Yongjiu. Would it be released in the future?
Maybe! I only have about 10 minutes with him, but a lot of it is back and forth with the translator. I do have some longer interviews with other people though, that I’d like to release in their full form at some point. Stay tuned
7:40 : hey dude, I think we are on UA-cam !
7:43 : hey there !
I really enjoyed watching this video. The things you bring to us opens our eyes. Not only are you helping us, but those you come in contact with and benefiting as well. Keep it up. Your on point.
The Shenzhen city council should hire you : )
Well it’s China... state system doesn’t work like that... the city is way too big for someone in the Congress to even notice this guy
Another amazing, quality, professionally edited, not to mention enjoyable video! Keep doing what you do dude! Love your videos!
Basically, it's the reverse of *"To be the jack of all trades, but master of none"*
Master of all trades, Jack of none. 😳
.. But oftentimes better then master of one
Specialization is evolution at work in a capitalist society.
Great story telling. Love how you tied it up with the interview at the end. Energy of progress comes from individuals who simply want to better their lives. Thanks for sharing! : )
This is so fuckin interesting nice work dude! Comparing economic similarities of different businesses in an area of shared space and propably identity. Very nice! I like these kind of videos
one point to your book you endorsed, i do it the exact other way, i have a lot of projects that i work on and switch from one project to another every couple days or even multiple times a day, i feel like that this method keeps my brain fresh.
great video, thanks for showing us all the strange parts and places in china
Places like Shenzhen should exist more around the world.
I buy a product.
The product fails after the warranty.
In the west you buy a new product.
In Shenzhen you definitely find a show who fixes it.
Shenzhen is what I call ecological manufacturing.
Yes. It is very dirty from time to time, but the amount of saving minerals and all the stuff would be incredible if the markets here in Europe would change like this.
But what is happening right now?
The total opposite.
Things are getting more and more difficult to repair because the products are made to fail and break if you try to repair it.
I love coming on adventures with the channel you have built! I also have amazing respect for the hustle and hardwork these painters and electronics sellers exhibit. Thanks for another high quality video!
Great video man!!
Those transitions were almost as great as the video itself. I love watching your stuff, even if I don't have much to comment-- just keep at it, be safe and have fun.
I think that USA should learn from China and make places like these, where people have a tremendous amount of unlimited opportunities to establish their own trade and business and be financially independent. But i Also think that China can learn a lot from USA, like the individuals right to protect their own ideas and Property.
very well said
That is the thing though, the low cost of production, in part, comes from minimal regulation and no need to worry about intellectual property. In the western world, intellectual property concerns and significant regulation make it impossible to duplicate "villages" like this. In China, you can't drink the tap water, in the US you can. Both approaches have benefits and costs. There are many tradeoffs that cannot be reconciled.
@@kbouwman64 Sure, but we can definitely take lessons from each approach to help us form new solutions to our current problems. In China the middle class is growing where in the US it's shrinking. But the US has cleaner air/water, and most people seem to have larger living accommodations. There's something to be learned that can benefit everyone.
imo, due to the rapid development of current stuff, ip for 70 years or even 20 is far too long, most of the developpement in 3d printers, drones etc... is due to the open-sourceishness of it.
Why do you think🤔 Donald trump is fascinating about China China 🇨🇳 ?
Scottie, I really love your enthusiasm in your videos and they really make me want to visit Shenzhen in China just to wander around the Miriam or markets with my boys, thinking of things we could make. Please keep up the awesome videos and new exciting projects. Cheers.
a bunch of tiny businesses running around and collaborating to create mindblowing works... sounds a bit like the NYC fashion industry
That's true Used to be more so. Maybe also the fur industry and the plant district. The weakening of unions has hurt this kind proxies
Your editor is doing a great job. Give them a raise. Love your channel
custom painted PCB's ...the perfect symbiosis of the 2 worlds :D
A very interesting and high quality video from Scotty, again! Keep on doing so please!
I really like, that you don't want to pump out a video every week or day, only one in a month or months, but that one is a VIDEO, which will last and will remain a quality work even after years!
Love your videos. Keep them coming cause we need a different perspective on China other then our stereotypical believes.
This channel is seriously seriously underrated. Loved this vid!
7:42 on the right a chines man saying with sign languages "Hi"
What an Amazing video essay that was beautifully made. You summarized the magic of Chinese style Logistics in few minutes. The quality of editing shows maturity now, yet the passion remains young. Very thought provoking as well. I often wondered what made Chinese so much more efficient compare to rest of the world, especially Canada. I guess the less rigidness in their thinking and labeling created this wonderful blend of chaos and cohesiveness. Chinese are unique people who are intuitive and logical. They are purpose driven yet not stubborn. They bend rules here and there and cut corners wherever they can. But they fulfill a need and niche like no one else do.
Does Mr. Zhōu have an online store? Or any way to view his art and purchase them?
I'm afraid not but do try your luck on taobao.com maybe, an Aliexpress but in the original Chinese version, he might got an online store there.
excellent video - the perceptive spotting and highlighting of seemingly different industries is super pleasing. good work man! x
Where can I find the link to watch or buy the documentary? It sounds super interesting.
MaximumGamingGuy I don’t remember where I watched it but it was an excellent documentary and I would highly recommend watching it. Not just for the interesting aspect of a changing China but also the emotional journey the painter went through.
Here it is vimeo.com/ondemand/chinasvangoghsfeaturedoc
Your content from the editing, the shots, the script is all very high quality, very profesional and inspiring, thank you for making this.
I think the world could learn a LOT from places like these.
Here in the UK.
My only choices are to buy electronic components from China or from places like RS ( mail order )
There don't seem to be any retailers left. I think part of the problem is most retailers try to do everything. Where as you pointed out. In China. Everyone seems to specialise.
Incredible creative and perfectly edited format to show the similarities between the two markets!
You should build a MacBook from scratch!! I would love to see a custom strange parts build with an awesome aftermarket screen chassis assembly!!
I second this. And before anyone thirds this, I also fourth this.
That environment reminds me of UA-cam. Lots of people selling (in a sense) the same products. Competing and collab'ing. Exciting environments and great learning experiences to be involved in.
every market should be like this working close with their competition with each other and also, this would make all the business grow much faster as they are working openly in front of their competition, and also this would give us much faster technology update rate and cheaper costs for all the services, decentralizing any one players monopoly, what do you think ?
Love the analogy between the two industries. Great camera work and editing on this episode, I noticed and enjoyed it. Keep it up!
at 7:40 the waving guy in the background!
I've been here last year, such an awesome place and the ocean of electronics! You made me visit Shenzhen. Thank you Strange parts!! 😁👍
2:20 OMG there's so many surveillance cameras on the post behind him!
So that they can watch you through your screen !
And that’s the one and only thing you care to comment about after watching this amazing video?
Excellent video editing, greatly improved the quality of the video, was very pleasant to watch, congratulations to those involved.
Hi love the vids
(Am I early?)
As an artist, it's great to see this topic here. Great edit on video. Transitions are lush! Lastly, this is one of the better ways to include paid add as you got me interested in the audio book you mentioned, as I struggle 10 years now to complete my comic book debut. Keep up the good work ❤️
Great video! I wonder this "companies" in Shenzhen how much garbage produce, and how they handle it... I think this could be the topic of the next video.
As amazing as this place seems I can't help to think of the incredible amount of waste and pollution it produces.
Your editing skills have LEAPED & BOUNDED. Amazing.

That stabilizing made my head hurt but otherwise great video
I LOVE the way this was edited! Great job Strange Parts!
Scotty, can you talk about how the chinese State (the party) affects the merchants and the market?
In what level the relationship between merchants and the government is different from capitalist countries?
Both are capiatalist system first is single party rule (Meritocracy, Technocracy sort of) and other is Democracy ! Please correct the question!
Youre better googling yourself
@@blee04524 google don't provide the personal experience Scotty have.
...and don't be a douch.
@Patrick Riarchy that's why I'm asking for more details.
@@arnabghosh2544 what do you mean with "both"? I really don't get what are you talking about.
Anyway, there is no capitalism in China, if you are talking about this in specific. They, the party, are copying the capitalism system in order to take over the world economy.
Being a capitalist State implies directly to freedom and the chinese folks aren't free at all in any way.
I wasn't planning on visiting China, but this looks like a cool place to find parts.

This video is so well done, I can't believe it's only received a couple of comments in the last year. So here's my contribution :-).
*Teacher:* Why are you copying off his test? You fail.
*Me:* But you see... according to Stranger Parts, I supplied and sourced my own pencil from a vendor, my paper from another vendor, and more importantly, I was still the one that had to write down the answers. So as you can see, I deserve credit and it's a pass.
Great video Scotty. Loved the contrasts and the insiders view on what's happening in China.
Shenzhen is cleaning up. They are withdrawing the renewal of operating licenses for businesses that pollute, which includes spray painting, resin casting and the like. Over the past 3 years a lot of these businesses have moved out of Long Gang in Shenzhen (eastern end of the blue line), over to Feng Gang in Dong Guan or Hui Yang in Hui Zhou, 30 mins/1 hour away, with different environmental rules. Their eco-system of packing foam and resin suppliers all moved together.
I am not surprised if the same is happening to the DaFen folks. With taobao, perhaps the physical proximity is less of a necessity and that the artists have moved to the much cheaper countryside.
