British Mum in CHINA No Longer TRUSTS WESTERN MEDIA After Visit
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- My British mum just had her first-ever visit to China, and WOW, what an eye-opener! As a British mum, she grew up hearing so many negative stories about China from the Western media, but nothing could have prepared her for the REAL experience of being here.
From the incredible hospitality of the locals to the rich culture and mind-blowing food, everything she’s seen firsthand completely contradicts what she was led to believe. The media paints such a one-sided, often misleading picture of China, and she can’t help but wonder why?
In this vlog, my mum shares her honest thoughts on what surprised her the most, the differences between perception and reality, and why she believes more people should visit China and see it for themselves. This country has so much to offer, and it’s time to challenge the misconceptions!

Have you ever had a similar experience where reality didn’t match the media’s narrative?
Even Trump closed down a propaganda unit called USAID. It's simply a waste of money to smear many so-called dictatorship countries.
Yes, me.

@@vikingma3318 Thank you for the translation.
Which government truly serve and take care of its people? If u agree that Chinese government takes good care of its people, give me a like
It's the goal of Communism and it work until US/UK dont bully/Coup/sanction/attack/war fortunatly China is too big so the capitalist "West" lost the momentum
I didn't understand much about China until I visited this country. It was a great trip. Advice: don't believe the propaganda, experience it yourself. “One eye to see is better than two ears to hear.
说的太好了！谢谢你的正面评价！
Betul sekali ❤
As more and more foreigners come to China to experience it, the negative image of Western media operations for decades disappeared instantly, and positive and objective travel bloggers like you played an important role，thank you !
Look at what USAID did in the past thrown open by Elon Musk recently 😮
The western media..is only to brainwash THEIR MASS..THE 70% who don't even hv a passport..many..working 3 jobs..to live...no time to discover the truth so they keep them in the bubble...😊😅😢
Yeah western media are fake, you need to experience and go to China.
“NGOs” are losing their propaganda funds 😂

Mom has so much energy❤
I like your mom. she is cheerful and love her smile. Thank you for both sharing your and mom’s travel experiences with us! Additionally I appreciate your truthfulness unbiased views about the country I traveled👍
怪不得女兒這麽愛笑，原來有這樣開朗的媽媽！
We really wanted our family to come and visit China and see it with their own eyes 🥰
Hi, Taz & Libby, it's a pleasure to see you both and your mom having a good time and enjoying your beautiful life in 🇨🇳.!
We’ve had such a great time in China so we had to bring our family too so they could experience how incredible it is 🥰🥰
Your mum is very happy and enjoying everything, like you! You have a hamonized family!
Mum's elegant English speaking, like a character in UK ancient UK drama. 👍
In China, all people developing, living and working in harmony with nature; as much as possibly can. It is so nice seeing foreign British tourists enjoying China, the people and society so very much; full of natural feelings and appreciations.
Amazing energy from you guys especially your mum. Just a joy to watch, peace out from Singapore :-)))
Ma Joe is a popular lady with cultural and artistic accomplishments, cheerful and humorous.
Your mom is so lovely 🎉
Chinese style, a free and comfortable country.
Hi guys, another awesome and beautiful video especially with mum. Take care and enjoy
Glad you enjoyed it 🥰
Mom looks so vibrant, like youngsters 😊😊
I have been waiting for this one. Obviously last vLog is just an appetizer. 先赞后看！
Mama Jo's haircut is fashionable and amazing. I love it!

You're the best! 🥰🤩
Amazing energy from your mom. Just adore her. No jet lag? Another happy episode. U guys are fab.
this is what freedom is right?
@@ManomiiFoxof course, there are people happy or sad. The question is what portion of people feel which way and in which country. No?
@@wongalex2089 of course.
@@ManomiiFox中國沒有流浪漢，起高鐵不是全部能賺錢，主要是方便民眾出行，這就是外媒所講的，中國共產黨，卻做到了！
安全是最大的自由

There is an old saying in China: "不是一家人，不进一家门"Meaning: If you didn't have similar personalities, values, or destinies, you wouldn't be in each other's lives.The couple and mother are very happy, and it is a happy family.
英语也有类似的，like mother, like daughter or like father, like son
Wow what a lot packed in to one day! Some culture, some history, good food and a bit of friendly boogying with the locals. Love how social everyone is - even on a cold winter evening everyone is out together.
Hii Lizzy, since u are in Suzhou, I warmly welcome u to visit my hometown Changzhou, just a 30 min train ride from Suzhou. We have the world's tallest pagoda and an ancient temple dated back to Tang dynasty.
You have a lovely mom!😅😅😅😊😊😊
Love you all! From Malaysia❤❤❤
Thank you, Sun Kissed Bucket List and Moma for a positive feedback! I know the truth now and that will help me to make a better future decision. Thank you and happy travels in the P.R.C.
Perfect setting of Suzhou for the wonderful family
Thanx for showing China just the way it is!!
Always! 🤩
Suzhou city has a history more than 2,500 year old, it means, the ancient city was surounded by walls that had four gates. What you saw was one of the four gates. Suzhou was known in ancient China as the capital of silk, city of cannels, and city of gardens (due to its mild weather, and retirement designation for the rich and famous people ). Enjoy!
Originally Suzhou had eight gates and each gate was composed by a land gate and water gate, which was unique among all China's ancient cities.
What a lovely family! ❤
The fact that Libby invited her mom to China testify she sees China as a wonderful place to visit! You won’t ask your mom to a nasty and oppressive place, will you!?
Hope mama Jo have a great time in China!❤
BTW, the dish you referred as squirrel fish may better be translated as “pine cone fish” as the fish meat are cut to look like a pine cone. I think the confusion arises from the fact that the sound of the first letter of pinecone and squirrel in Mandarin are the same. 😊

Elderly people in China rarely suffer from depression because of such rich community activities. The lively scenes you can see everywhere are our ordinary daily lives. In such a life, where does the loneliness come from? I can't stand the cold interpersonal relationships in Europe. Maybe this is what your mother couldn't adapt to the most after she returned. If you live in China long enough. She will have a rich and exciting old life of her own and will make many friends.

Lovely Mom

SO NICE CITY ... AMAZING CHINA .. HAVE A GOODTIME GUYS & GODBLESS U ALL & CHINA 😊❤🎉
That's my hometown. We just got back from there. The best city of China 🎉
We love Suzhou 🥰
the roof is tiled in a way that the rain water falls slowly to the ground, practical and aesthetic, creating drops and sound of tic-tac,tic-tac ...relaxing
That’s incredible 🥰
在古 代，苏州的路是用石板铺成的，当有人造访时，鞋子在石板上发出叮叮咚咚的声音，于是，庭院里的主要知道有人来访了
In ancient China, almost every city that has a name with a Zhou 州, they are heavily guarded military cities, which is the political center of the area. There were high city walls with watch towers, most of them are over a thousand year old. The Zhou 州 spread out across the occupied lands, and counting the number of Zhous 州 can tell how big the territories were. Through out two thousand years many of the city walls were distructed during war time, or being taken down for the modern city transpotation. There are many cities still have the city wall and gates preserved as it used to be, others might just have a little section left.
❤❤❤妈妈👩🏻很开心
Happy lantern festival, the end of Chinese New Year season.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Your journey coinsides with the Chinese New Year. Good
Enjoy both beautiful friends welcome eat alot food, be healthy happy as much u can. Don't listen to media etc.
My City, Changzhou, also has City wall and part of the canal and beautiful gardens, my city is 20 minutes away from Suzhou by bullet train.
welcome back
nice, your mom getting the full experience. I kinda felt like some of the stuff you guys passed on when it was just the two of you but going all out for mama jo 😆. haven't been to suzhou in quite a long time so I'm surprised they kept it pretty rustic. a lot of the ancient towns are getting full facelifts nowadays and that kind of takes away from the 'ancient' charm imo.
Really good to see your mum having such a great time in China 😄😄😄✌✌✌
So love your mommy
If u dont see Mama Jo in hanfu then it's a pity she wont have her own hanfu photos to frame up in future!
I like the way y'all addressing elders as aunties & uncles, and 're nice when engaging their services.
Thks for bringing us places the whole yr round! So glad y'all 've got the ten years visa!!
Suzhou has been dubbed the Venice of the East. It has many canals..😮
Great to see you couple again and your beloved mom.
That "little thing" is called trishaw. Thank you.
So happy to see your mom invited to China. Respect!🙏
Its called Trishaw (three wheel bicycle pull). A rickshaw is human pulling and running, days before bicycles in last centuries.
lovely family ❤❤
It's wonderful to see your mum having such a great time, it warms the heart.
❤❤❤
This place in China definitely has the unique attractions, experiences, arts and culture that are different compared to the big cities. It's really worth the visit.
谢谢！love from Malaysia❤❤❤
perect experiece for mom
Nice video! Glad your mum is enjoying her rice and fish. A tip on eating rice: it is extremely hard to pick up fried rice using chopsticks even for native Chinese. I normally would use a spoon or pick up the rice bowl if eating with chopsticks. It is perfectly alright and is the correct table manner for Chinese. In fact some older generation Chinese would say it is impolite to pick up rice grains using chopsticks by not holding the bowl up.
Mama Jo is cool! 😊
The Chinese government did the right to waive visa , especially those from the western hemisphere. Besides generating income for its people , it also allowed foreigners to see for themselves what China really is. No country is perfect. China definitely had a peaceful, and secure environment for those who enjoy the beauty of its landscape.
Mum is very descriptive and her choice of words is wonderful. I share your excitement, enjoyment and experience through this video.
On a different note, if a large crowd were to sing and dance publicly in late evenings in the UK or the US, the police would have either arrested them or dispersed them because they would be seen as a nuisance to the peace.
歡迎🎊🎊🎊🎊🎉🎉🎉
Wow amazoooooooooooon😮😮😮😮😮😮
I googled Suzhou to know , where exactly it is ! Wonderful video of 3 of you in China, thank you 😍
Yes, your mother. The Empress Dowager. 😁😁😁😁
我觉得妈妈乔一定喜欢云南鲜花市场
Libby穿漢服像貴妃，Mama Jo就是皇太后，可以去詢問一下，應該有保暖的漢服。You can ask for warm Hanfu clothes
Thanks!
🥰🥰
❤🧡💛💚💙Taz, Libby & Mama Joe 💞is having a Great times 😋"Cycle -Rickshaws"🤩🥰😍Glad to see you having 💯% Good Journey & a wonderful best time in 💖china✌
Amazing !! Mom and daughter same voice.
Beautiful view,, amazing place
I am delighted to see you and your mother happily traveling together in Suzhou. There is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. Suzhou and Hangzhou are both my favorite cities. I hope you have a good time in China and welcome to come often.
What you meant to convey is: There's a well-known Chinese saying: "Under Heaven, there are Suzhou and Hangzhou"; i.e. these two cities are China's paradise.
@ Thank you.
I had been to this city four times, but still didn't walk up the wall, as there were so many places to see and experience in Suzhou!
16:49 that person on the moped with the plank blocking their view is much braver than I
WOOOO，AMAZING
Nice..
Have a good time in 蘇州 and other places in China~
Sky is so blue.
Brightest blue skies 🤩
Very nice vlog. Keep going.
👍👍👍👍👍👍🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
祇有對中國友善的人才會選出對中國友善的政客。中國航海技術是早於西方大航海年代。中國沒有從其他土地搶掠沒有綁架奴隸。萬里長城都是防禦性的軍事設施。可見中國文明的出發點是和平友善。中國沒有征服世界的野心。
Today China is a well governed country by the good leadership of the communist party…
All the city in China is about Old and Morden building mixed culture…. It’s beautiful….
❤❤❤good video
歡迎🎉🎉🎉祝旅途愉快
In heaven there is paradise; on earth there are Suzhou and Hangzhou
The cities in China and Japan are so clean, it's like walking through Disney Land!!! Frankly, they're so beautiful. In Thailand we struggling to keep things clean. I think we've been overly impressed by the West, I can say we are certainly moving that way in terms of hygeine. We have got to make a U-TURN pronto.

English accent, ahh, remind me that my wallet got stolen in Landon, lost 2000 pounds
I would love to see the operas live. That was an incredible experience. I worry about my limited food experience holding me back.
