This is sad because Business Basic also state that China will fall and from the outside it never did. But for a economic experts like him he's more than spot on. It was the truth... Of course he did not know any of this. He literally make that prediction based on politics and the expense. Like China spent WAY too much money and budget to carry North Korea and Russia while they are being cut from the public market... Any even average economic experts can see that this is more expense than income... So where's the money coming from...? The people... They are now robbing people to make it look rich... The same way as using your entirely saving just to look rich... No you still used your money...
i had a Chinese professor in university, who happened to be my absolute favorite sociology prof. in my department. the day he found out he obtained his US citizenship, i just so happened to have class, and he cried announcing it in front of our class of about 25 students. this was around about 2016. it impacted me in a huge way; i really do not even have the words to express how much so. he also said he would NEVER go back to China. this video reminded me of him... i've been watching you for 5 years now and i've learned so much from you and CMilk. please keep creating this excellent content... you are a true citizen journalist in my eyes, and i appreciate all the work you've done.
An originally chinese woman I know who lives and works in germany obtained citizenship in an eastern european country. She didn't care whether it was european, south american, north american or australian citizenship, she even tried some better off african countries just to get out. Her work visa in that eastern european country led to her eventually finding a husband and getting citizenship after more than a decade (no, she didn't marry just for citizenship) and she is really glad she got out and away from the ccp. She misses her family, but if she was in china she would likely be one of those unmarried, unemployed, overqualified people over 35 with massive debts from buying an unfinished flat.

My grandma was born in 1899 during the last days of the Qing Dynasty. She and her husband fled to South East Asia country in the 1920s to escape turmoil. During the 1980s, I had a chance to ask her if she ever wanted to visit China again. She told me that in China famine was a norm and she could barely scoop up a few grains of rice from the bottom of a wok if she was lucky. She never wanted to experience hunger again. As it is, food security has been and will be one of China's greatest problems in decades to come, maybe forever. Unless China reduces debts, wastage, overcapacity, and military spending in favor of making its population have a better life over its hegemonic ambitions with its neighbors. China today is not a force for good. World domination is its ambition over humanity with ideological humanistic motives.
Most Chinese in China and else where in the world don't know wtf Chinese is! As a Cantonese, I find it offensive when people calling me Chinese as there are different ethnics or types of "Chinese". I hope the word "Chinese" will be cancelled one day and replace with a more precise description to each ethnic group.

I know a fellow here in Canada working for a Chinese firm in China. He does his work on the computer so he is here or back in China half the time. He told me he has not been paid for around 5 months, I was flabbergasted. Can't you talk to a lawyer I asked ? He just laughed, he said I continue to work and hope to get paid one day or stop working and not get any of my pay. That is the harsh reality he is in at this present time.
Man I had a construction boss like this before, he didn’t pay me for a whole month and when time came to pay he was telling me that I’m lying about the whole month of pay and that he only owed me two weeks of work, I never got to see that 2500$ because of that

I have several co-workers that are Chinese. One is freshly out of the country, and is still very biased about Chinese superiority. The other has been in the US 20 years and called them out on this. They said, "why are all the Chinese researchers coming to the US for education and training if China is so great? Why not stay there? And why is it one sided and mass numbers of US researchers not going to China?".
Did that help with the cognitive dissonance of the Chinese supremacist? lol You should also ask him, "if China is so superior, why the hell are you here?"
A huge proportion of the scientists in the US are from China and india. they go becasue they either didn't get a spot at the local universities or if they have $$$ there is a prestige factor. doesn't mean it's better at all.
Why would anyone leave a superior country then? I think all Chinese that say such things need to be immediately sent back, and without any appeal, along with any immediate family members here in America. We don’t need ANY of these people.
Imagine all the idiots that whine about the US. No country is even a close second to the US in terms the number of people that want to move to the US. The more I travel the more I appreciate the US. True story.

Industrial pollution is perhaps the worst in the world. It’s very unfortunate because there are so many wonderful Chinese people. And when they come to America many of them become greatly successful.

Seeing the long queue of people desperate to get a visa to the US made me realize how lucky I am that my parents were from Canton (now Guangzhou) when Hong Kong was under British rule. They are able to moved to Hong Kong and from Hong Kong, straight to America. For all the woke liberals spewing anti-America and anti-West rhetoric , be careful of what you wish for. You may end up not able to spew anything at all.
Geez. I am liberal. Not sure what "woke" means, but I am definitely pro-Ameria, pro-West, and anti-PRC. The real problem seems to be the MAGA crowd who have bought into the pro-Russian, anti-Ukraine, and anti-Europe propaganda of their great leader: hook, line, and sinker.
I understand your point completely, but that sentiment of not being able to criticize your country, even if others have it worse, won't help anyone. America has a lot of things that can and should be criticized. A lot of people (especially since Clovid) live in poverty, there are many homeless people that are being treated with hostility, healthcare is an absolute mess and many others things Of course it still has many many benefits, but again.. suppressing criticism is also suppression in the end

One does not need to live in China to see that it’s an absolute dumpster. I commend anyone brave enough to try and live in China. Just their food safety alone would make me want to run to the opposite direction as fast as possible😰
I used to run a business there. Horrible place - I spent like half a year living there in different periods of a year. Horrible food, horrible people, cheaters and con men…
In 2023 against my better judgement I stayed in a Chinese owned large high rise condo building in Pattaya Thailand. Everywhere I looked there were signs up telling people what not to do and there were fines attached. I couldn't move within that facility without breaking this rule or that and paying this fine or that fine. They even scammed me on a fine on rent as they claimed I didn't pay on time yet I payed a month in advance. I wish I had never stayed in the building. I can just imagine the authoritarianism and scams are a lot worse in China itself.
I owned a condo for a time in Jomtien. I think it was owned by British and Russian company. I never heard of china owned, it must have been an older building. Is it still there?
This was a tourist trap that was in the form of a hotel. They saw you as someone with money and they wanted to get as much as they could from you. The world is a scary place. It pays to do your homework and check everything ahead of time about the places you stay and want to go and see.
I went on a school trip as Junior in high school in 2012- it was terrible! I’m black and felt like I was an animal in a zoo the entire time… They Didn’t even attempt to hide their contempt and kids were just flat out afraid of me.. The air was terrible. Horrific and dangerous traffic. Streets smelled like waste. I’ll never forget sitting in front of a McDonalds, and this man brought his 2 or 3 year old right up to us and had him defecate on the steps right behind us. I’m certain it was out of spite.. We visited a family who lived in a community living space. They were very nice and gracious, but told us that over 200 people shared the same community bathroom, they had no plumbing, no roof, no healthcare, no ability to own their own business. I’m actually surprised we were allowed to experience such a candid encounter because everything else was clearly set up to show only the best China had to offer. The tour guide was very careful with their words and didn’t want us asking very many questions Tiananmen Square was surreal. They have memorials for the citizens yet completely fabricate what happened that day… their narrative is that people were protesting for fashion rights and attacked police in a violent riot. Absurd. Not to mention the tanks and armed military surrounding the entire area on the anniversary. Overall, I was completely disillusioned by that visit and I will never go back and am completely disgusted with country as a whole. Contrast this with Japan, they’re pretty much the complete opposite and I 100% recommend visiting if you ever have the opportunity Very kind and generous people. Extremely clean,modern, and unique. Amazing food! Cutting edge technology. Cool fashion spots. Yet they’ve taken great care to preserve their ancient history and infrastructure. And they love Americans lol
They just want to distort history, bash Japan, pretend to be victims, justify copy products. Chinese always shift responsibility to other countries. People from primitive cultures debate on emotion rather than reason. That is why they rely so heavily on insults. The ignorants insult and look down without any argument. They never counter the points that you bring up.
I've often said if you're black and think you're mistreated in the west because of your race, try visiting China for a month. They make the KKK look like a DEI startup.
Glad someone's talking about this. I was in China for 6 months in 2023. I travelled around, went on the Huashan hike, made local friends, talking through a translator app. Every young person I spoke to observed that they have never met someone so "free", then they traumadumped about how they're "tired of working like a slave" and "tired of working like a dog". These exact (translated) words. Different people. Different places. I seek out the real thing when I travel. You don't have to learn Chinese to know the misery, you just have to listen.

I won't buy from Temu. If things are that ridiculously cheap, someone, somewhere is paying a high price. I remember getting off a train at a station in Guangdong. It was terrifying seeing all of the cripples begging and the complete lack of compassion by the locals. I felt like I had entered one of the 9 circles of hell.
The reason the locals ignore them is because they know why there are lots of people with no limbs - organized crime - gambling debts is a usual reason, cut off a hand or two, a foot and then sit and beg. It's mainly for laowais who take pity on them. There are plenty of them in Beijing, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Shenzhen, Xi'an - not all of them are auto-amputees, of course, given the state of PRC workplace safety, the loss of limbs or life is a real problem. Scams are rife, if you fall victim to a scam, it's your fault for not noticing. It is a national past-time. There's no point going to the police, it will go either of two ways, a shrug and whatever, or, that's-no-moon of interviews and paperwork and then getting followed all the damn time by the local PSB and still nothing gets done. If you want the "real" China, go to Taiwan. HK used to be good, it's dead now. When Taiwan is taken, then Japan is the closest to a nice place to visit (unless you're Chinese or Korean)

Notice that people in actually great places to live don't have to constantly spout about how great it is to live there? America for example has many problems, but you don't have people in the worst areas of America constantly on tiktok and IG bleating about how great it actually is. Take Northern Europe for another example, Scandinavia is beautiful and has so many great places to live, and yet you don't see Norwegians constantly crying on social media about how they swear it's actually really great and anyone saying otherwise is an Eastern devil trying to make them look bad. I wonder why that is?
I taught English in China for six years before 2010, learned some Chinese and I found the people lovely and friendly. True it is very poor. What I remember is that everyone was afraid. NO ONE ever said anything personal to anyone, best friend or not. One never knew if they would tell the authorities some time in the future just to get ahead...
You hit the nail right on the head. I learned Chinese before moving there and I actually stopped trying to progress after being there and knowing their true attitudes toward the west and how superior they think they are. It indeed felt like a curse to know what is going on.

I live in the San Diego, California area. In the local news was about the new majority of amnesty/illegal alien seeker -- Chinese Nationals -- at the California-Mexican border. They fly from China to Ecuador to the Tijuana, Mexico airport (for visa reasons). A shuttle picks them up at the airport and for $400 USD a "coyote" drives them sixty miles to the end of the border wall. The border patrol has set up a mobile processing center to issue them immediate asylum visas. In minutes they are on their way. I found it hilarious when the TV reporter interviewed some of them. They all appeared well dressed and polite and spoke English. They stated they had been employed in IT and business had collapsed in the past couple of years and were now headed up to Silicon Valley to earn the big money in USA IT. There was a line of shuttle buses dropping off these Chinese immigrants.

The reason we must import all these techies from overseas is because we can't homegrow them in our own country. Why can't Westerners fill these jobs? Is it because wht people aren't smart enough? We used to do it. The Italians had their renaissance with Westerners like Leonardo DeVinci. Kepler was a Westerner, Issac Newton was a Westerner. The American space program landed a man on the moon with almost entirely Western scientists. So what has changed? Its the Western education systems that have changed. Liberals ruined American public schools, almost deliberately. We spend more per capita on children's education than any other nation on earth yet can't manage to education enough Doctors and engineers. Yet nations, who spend a small fraction of what we spend on education, produce more doctors and engineer than we can. THIS should be a source of great national shame for Western nations. But it isn't. Why is that? Remember that, the next time you vote.

I lived in Sanya on Hainan Island for three years. It was supposedly going to be the next Macau. Huge "Vegas" style resorts were being constructed, but gambling was still not allowed. It was all based on a promise.... you build it, and we'll allow it. It never happened. But I worked in one of these resorts. I opened a fine dining restaurant on a beach, beautiful views, beautiful resort! The restaurant had floor to ceiling glass windows overlooking the beach and the South China Sea. The windows looked from the outside like a solid black panel. it wasn't mirrored, it was just like a solid black panel. You couldn't see into the restaurant, but the view from inside the restaurant was spectacular. You could see out, but you can't see in. So when it opened we had high rolling guests trying to get the table by the windows. The only problem was that groundsmen, gardeners and all other myriad of local employees didn't understand the concept. They would come, look around furtively and then piss up against the window..... and table 12 will have view they never thought possible! The real China!

It's a little more nuanced than that - Communism (or Marxist-Leninism, or Juchism, or Bolivarianism) simply has no cure for bad leadership. Also, average leaders (like Brezhnev) aren't punished for mistakes so things get progressively worse. Ideologically, the leaders of a post-revolutionary state just can't be bad - saying so is considered counter-revolutionary or heretical. China was getting better between about 1990 and 2010 - for a little while, for a lot of people, life in China may have seemed better than life in the West.

So yeah... in Korea, your labor laws are respected and defended. Just look out for it ! Many foreigners here takes everything for granted. As foreigner in this country, you still need to check what you do and cannot do. Just get fng educated and learn Korean. Simple as that
I went to the one in Shanghai and you needed an appointment to do interviews (needed a new passport for our newborn). The line was only like 10 people, who also either all had appointments or was just there to pick up the passport. We were in and out in about an hour. Not sure why the Beijing one is soooooo long.
When i lived in Japan, another English teacher asked me how is my Japanese. He half jokingly said "dont bother learning; all the interesting people can speak English."
Whenever someone tries to call me stupid for only knowing English...I'm just like.....we are both speaking English right now?! idk its the international language of business so it's the only language I have ever needed.
Really? Why not go back to South Africa and report what's happening there? Winston went to China for over 10 years and gave us the good side. Now he turns?! He'll do the same to the US..
No, they won't. I have seen people with all sorts of disabilities sitting in the streets trying to beg for enough money to get by another day. Nobody gives a damn about them except for their family if they have one.
All I will say is that I'm glad I don't live in China. I showed a good friend of mine some of your vids and other negative media about the real china. She had been contemplating to work abroad there. I told her she would be making a big mistake. She watched what I sent her & was able to make an informed decision thanx to you & others who took the time to post on RUclips. She did not go. Thanx for "keeping it real" & showing the world what real life is like there. What you are doing is awesome!

The characteristic of the Cultural Revolution was that different opinions were not allowed, just like the political correctness in the United States today.
I watched a documentary a while back called 'Last Train Home' about China's migrant workers returning to their villages during New Year. I was expecting it to be this uplifting tale about a tight-knit family who happily enjoy every second they have together. Instead, it was a depressing portrait of how much poverty, inequality and general misery there really is in most of China's population.
Ya, saw that too. Made me so sad. I wonder how much longer before people in China just stop having children at all, so they can just work to support themselves.
"Once you learn the local language, you can see through the facade" rings true for India as well. As an Indian, I never quite understood why the West sees us as a spiritual land when most people here are just as corrupt and uncaring about the poor.
That's because you never pursued spirituality in India of India, but rather you're a part of the western system established in India, thinking you need to get great education and earn in dollars. When you're thought process itself is not aligned to spirituality you did you expect to see it? One only sees what they want to see. This doesn't mean I'm discounting the poverty, but your comment is completely illogical. It is not hard to earn good money being in India, while working for your foreign overlords if you're willing to do so. In a country with billion people income inequality is bound to exist in capitalist/socialist/communist societies none of the political systems can distribute wealth equally and fairly which is just simple math. So stop crying on the internet and just do what you think you should be doing. If you think getting out of India would help you then I'd suggest you start working on it right now.
Hindu philosophy and Buddhist philosophy is actually really good, and can be seen as spiritually englightening. The problem is a lot of Indians that live there do not really adhere to it, or try not to understand it, and a lot of foreigners that travel India have some warped ideas in their heads.
@@spaceisawesome1 exactly, I wish we could make a similar understanding for what's happening in China because a lot of framing and projection content are popping off online. I don't want to believe that it's just dystopian shit in China because come on that would be less than human, certainly revolt would break a system like that. So naturally, media frames their place as a place with lots of civil unrest! But come on, it's not "that" strong enough of an unrest to incite chaos around the streets
Fact, a Chinese born woman who was in Hong Kong for years and now lives in England with her British husband. She went back to her home city in china on holiday last week and struggled, did not like it at all being there. Coukd not find her way around a small city she grew up in. Had to pay for everything with a phone. (That makes tracking people easy and all the other things the Chinese government want to know about the people) In fact the young people do NOT actually know what cash is!😧 She said it was depressing to be on holiday there.
It's depressing how Hong Kong has fallen in the last few years alone. Wish they managed to remain independent or under British rule, was much better for them. Many such cases!
I think this is one of your best videos. You really were letting your feelings out and described the disappointment of being able to understand what you were reading and hearing around you. Keep up the good work with your videos, they’re very informative and I’ve learned a lot so far. When I’m able, I will contribute to your video fund. Here’s some,that your videos have had me change my purchasing power. Today my father got a nice sport jacket he ordered. It was $400, and that was the sale price. He comes to me and says try this on, see if it fits. It fit, and seemed like a nice blazer then I asked where was it made. On the collar it said made in China and I thanked him but he knew that I had started avoiding anything made in China for a while now. It was tricky though because he first said it was Italian.. on another tag it said “assembled in Italy. So basics;lay, all the stitching, pressing is done in China. The fancy Italian tag inside is basically the only thing ‘assembled’ in Italy. Sneaky.
My parents and in-laws both taught English in China. They were told to never mentions the '3 T's, (Taiwan, Tibet, and Tiananmen), and never show the college student pictures of their houses in America because it would make the students feel bad! I speak Mandarin and have been to China several times, the people were great, but very naive.
I've been to China, six times to work there for 2-4 weeks at a time. My coworkers there were very accomodating/friendly. Some still communicate with me via wechat.
@weiyuzhu9373 Some people from a free country can be naive, but those who live in an information access-restricted country are more likely to be naive.
I do feel bad for the gunfights, gangsters, disorder, vagrangts, racism and high crime rate in America. Thinking that somebody is suffering, I literally can't stop crying.😭😭😭
Yes this true. I used to live in China for many years and had a Chinese husband. I learned the real life there and learned Mandarin. All my foreign friends left.
China is the *PRIME* *Example* of why Humans should never wield absolute Power over their fellow Humans. "Plus", Mao is told to have killed *200 "MILLION"* Chinese People during his Reign.
Posts from businessmen say simply that the only things that aren't ponzi schemes are day laborers living on the streets earning just enough to buy food. Literally everything else is losing money.
I have met quite a few Chinese over here in Australia that came from various places, Hong Kong, Singapore, Mainland China etc. And I guess the ones that get out tend to be the educated and active people. That said, I have rarely witnessed a people more dedicated to their families and also hard working, a boon to any society. It pains me that the potential of these people is wasted in such a sorry authoritarian country.
Long queues at US embassy is not a great example of how bad the situation in the country is. I have experienced similar long queue in Bern Switzerland.
Having lived in China for over a decade, I can attest: it is an absolutely miserable place. Even with the money I was making there, it was a wretched daily existence. And we were comparatively wealthy. We used to joke how there was literally no fun allowed there.
@@psr4550 Uh, no. They locked their entire country down for years once they'd let COVID out. They also enacted genocide against the Uyghur people, destroyed Hong Kong, and took away everyone's basic civil rights while poisoning the planet.

Thank you for shining light on this. It is indeed shocking and disconcerting. I met a young lady from China while in Chiang Mai. She was religious and meditated every morning out in the cold air in the garden, wrapped in warm clothing. We talked a little, and she told me how everything China had gained over the five thousand years of civilization is being destroyed. It was very sad and hard to believe. Perhaps it's time for some radical change for the Chinese people.

I'm retired and do house clean outs and sell at flea markets. Even when I find brand new items Made in China still in the packaging for free, I can't sell them on-line because the USPS shipping is more expensive for me in the U.S. than from China for the same item! This is because when China was classified as "developing," joining the WTO under a very special deal was not the only advantage it received. It was also placed on the USPS special program for underdeveloped countries. Since that time, China has developed enough to challenge the U.S. with super hi-tech weapons developed with their massive "defense" budget. Yet at the same time it fought tooth and nail to retain the trade privileges' of an underdeveloped country. The bottom line is that the U.S. taxpayer is subsidizing TEMU's shipping from China to the detriment of American small businesses.
The US and Americans are on to the scams of Temu and Schein. And when Trump becomes Prez by some miracle, he will crush those special trade deals and the ccp will fall into oblivion.
even though the TEMU is a Chinese background company, but its investors are mainly from the US. So, no matter you like it or not, that will not hurt the Chinese economy. BTW, we Chinese don't like these shit online shopping companies neither, they are selling rubbish to China and all-around of the world.
This is true and it infuriates me. This is a disgrace and our politicians need to correct their classification and close this loophole. This is driving small businesses in America to bankruptcy because they cannot match the insanely low price as China uses slave labor, poor quality materials, and shipping and tariff loopholes.
Thank you tor your work. I lived Xi’an from 97-99. I came back and was amazed at the distorted and positive view many Americans have of China and how Americans believe the news coming out of China. It is a desperate and malevolent society that does not value the individual Chinese citizen.

i had a Chinese professor in university, who happened to be my absolute favorite sociology prof. in my department. the day he found out he obtained his US citizenship, i just so happened to have class, and he cried announcing it in front of our class of about 25 students. this was around about 2016. it impacted me in a huge way; i really do not even have the words to express how much so. he also said he would NEVER go back to China. this video reminded me of him... i've been watching you for 5 years now and i've learned so much from you and CMilk. please keep creating this excellent content... you are a true citizen journalist in my eyes, and i appreciate all the work you've done.
An originally chinese woman I know who lives and works in germany obtained citizenship in an eastern european country. She didn't care whether it was european, south american, north american or australian citizenship, she even tried some better off african countries just to get out. Her work visa in that eastern european country led to her eventually finding a husband and getting citizenship after more than a decade (no, she didn't marry just for citizenship) and she is really glad she got out and away from the ccp. She misses her family, but if she was in china she would likely be one of those unmarried, unemployed, overqualified people over 35 with massive debts from buying an unfinished flat.

My grandma was born in 1899 during the last days of the Qing Dynasty. She and her husband fled to South East Asia country in the 1920s to escape turmoil.
During the 1980s, I had a chance to ask her if she ever wanted to visit China again. She told me that in China famine was a norm and she could barely scoop up a few grains of rice from the bottom of a wok if she was lucky. She never wanted to experience hunger again.
As it is, food security has been and will be one of China's greatest problems in decades to come, maybe forever.
Unless China reduces debts, wastage, overcapacity, and military spending in favor of making its population have a better life over its hegemonic ambitions with its neighbors.

I have several co-workers that are Chinese. One is freshly out of the country, and is still very biased about Chinese superiority. The other has been in the US 20 years and called them out on this. They said, "why are all the Chinese researchers coming to the US for education and training if China is so great? Why not stay there? And why is it one sided and mass numbers of US researchers not going to China?".
Did that help with the cognitive dissonance of the Chinese supremacist? lol

I went on a school trip as Junior in high school in 2012- it was terrible! I’m black and felt like I was an animal in a zoo the entire time…
They Didn’t even attempt to hide their contempt and kids were just flat out afraid of me..
The air was terrible. Horrific and dangerous traffic. Streets smelled like waste. I’ll never forget sitting in front of a McDonalds, and this man brought his 2 or 3 year old right up to us and had him defecate on the steps right behind us. I’m certain it was out of spite..
We visited a family who lived in a community living space. They were very nice and gracious, but told us that over 200 people shared the same community bathroom, they had no plumbing, no roof, no healthcare, no ability to own their own business. I’m actually surprised we were allowed to experience such a candid encounter because everything else was clearly set up to show only the best China had to offer. The tour guide was very careful with their words and didn’t want us asking very many questions
Tiananmen Square was surreal. They have memorials for the citizens yet completely fabricate what happened that day… their narrative is that people were protesting for fashion rights and attacked police in a violent riot. Absurd. Not to mention the tanks and armed military surrounding the entire area on the anniversary.
Overall, I was completely disillusioned by that visit and I will never go back and am completely disgusted with country as a whole.
Contrast this with Japan, they’re pretty much the complete opposite and I 100% recommend visiting if you ever have the opportunity
Very kind and generous people. Extremely clean,modern, and unique. Amazing food! Cutting edge technology. Cool fashion spots. Yet they’ve taken great care to preserve their ancient history and infrastructure. And they love Americans lol
Wow like women treat men in America...
They just want to distort history, bash Japan, pretend to be victims, justify copy products. Chinese always shift responsibility to other countries.
People from primitive cultures debate on emotion rather than reason. That is why they rely so heavily on insults. The ignorants insult and look down without any argument. They never counter the points that you bring up.
I've often said if you're black and think you're mistreated in the west because of your race, try visiting China for a month.
They make the KKK look like a DEI startup.
man.... I know what you mean... Japan is way better in every way.
The difference between the countries is Japan is free and China is a slave state.
Glad someone's talking about this. I was in China for 6 months in 2023. I travelled around, went on the Huashan hike, made local friends, talking through a translator app. Every young person I spoke to observed that they have never met someone so "free", then they traumadumped about how they're "tired of working like a slave" and "tired of working like a dog".
These exact (translated) words. Different people. Different places. I seek out the real thing when I travel. You don't have to learn Chinese to know the misery, you just have to listen.
Im a chinese,watching those fake chinese happy videos are too depressing,i love how this channel broadcast the truth which makes me feel much better
No need to turn to videos like this. Just go out and look around you. With all the prices going up, crimes are going up as well.
a Chinese that did not make it. Where I live millions of Chinese tourist visit, happy people. I do not think you are Chinese. If, then one that could not make it in China.
I won't buy from Temu. If things are that ridiculously cheap, someone, somewhere is paying a high price. I remember getting off a train at a station in Guangdong. It was terrifying seeing all of the cripples begging and the complete lack of compassion by the locals. I felt like I had entered one of the 9 circles of hell.
but you walk past the hordes of homeless beggers and panhandlers on the streets in the US?
@@seawater1322 You know there are more than the US and China in the world...
The reason the locals ignore them is because they know why there are lots of people with no limbs - organized crime - gambling debts is a usual reason, cut off a hand or two, a foot and then sit and beg. It's mainly for laowais who take pity on them. There are plenty of them in Beijing, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Shenzhen, Xi'an - not all of them are auto-amputees, of course, given the state of PRC workplace safety, the loss of limbs or life is a real problem. Scams are rife, if you fall victim to a scam, it's your fault for not noticing. It is a national past-time. There's no point going to the police, it will go either of two ways, a shrug and whatever, or, that's-no-moon of interviews and paperwork and then getting followed all the damn time by the local PSB and still nothing gets done. If you want the "real" China, go to Taiwan. HK used to be good, it's dead now. When Taiwan is taken, then Japan is the closest to a nice place to visit (unless you're Chinese or Korean)
@@seawater1322 You must be Chinese haha. Beggars can make plenty of money in America by begging, not to mention the benefits they can get from the government.
You did!
I hate the people on IG talking great things about China and they tell people that living there is great
Instagram is Fake AF, and everything is filtered app. and good angle shots everything else is BS , or some clown who is living in a country for 2 weeks he tells you how wonderful it is, lol
It's called securities fraud
Good. I hope they stay there.
Notice that people in actually great places to live don't have to constantly spout about how great it is to live there? America for example has many problems, but you don't have people in the worst areas of America constantly on tiktok and IG bleating about how great it actually is. Take Northern Europe for another example, Scandinavia is beautiful and has so many great places to live, and yet you don't see Norwegians constantly crying on social media about how they swear it's actually really great and anyone saying otherwise is an Eastern devil trying to make them look bad.
I wonder why that is?
They are just hoping to get a visa
I taught English in China for six years before 2010, learned some Chinese and I found the people lovely and friendly. True it is very poor. What I remember is that everyone was afraid. NO ONE ever said anything personal to anyone, best friend or not. One never knew if they would tell the authorities some time in the future just to get ahead...

You hit the nail right on the head. I learned Chinese before moving there and I actually stopped trying to progress after being there and knowing their true attitudes toward the west and how superior they think they are. It indeed felt like a curse to know what is going on.

I wish China had implemented the policies of Taiwan; they could have become one of the greatest nation in the world.
But that would require the CCP to face competitive elections which they would inevitably lose, and it would require that their leaders submit to the rule of law rather than rule like princes, so they can't
Truth is their government in their zeal to stay in power are keeping themselves from true greatness. Don't steal...become a real investor in your future China and you could be leading the world They have the land mass and population to get it done. Taiwan is the perfect example of what is possible but instead of looking at what Taiwan has done their plan is to invade. In their current form anything China touches goes to crap.
they had great policies that put them on track to be one of the top economies in the world. then the guy who was behind it died and the guys that came after him had no clue. and this current guy is only concerned with staying in power as long as he can.
Impossible. All the people who were educated or had ANY class or culture were hunted down or forced to flee TO TAIWAN.

I live in the San Diego, California area. In the local news was about the new majority of amnesty/illegal alien seeker -- Chinese Nationals -- at the California-Mexican border. They fly from China to Ecuador to the Tijuana, Mexico airport (for visa reasons). A shuttle picks them up at the airport and for $400 USD a "coyote" drives them sixty miles to the end of the border wall. The border patrol has set up a mobile processing center to issue them immediate asylum visas. In minutes they are on their way. I found it hilarious when the TV reporter interviewed some of them. They all appeared well dressed and polite and spoke English. They stated they had been employed in IT and business had collapsed in the past couple of years and were now headed up to Silicon Valley to earn the big money in USA IT. There was a line of shuttle buses dropping off these Chinese immigrants.
I saw that story. The one lady had on higheels and fur collar on her outer jacket, for walking thru the desert....
Pretty disgusting what the current president has allowed to happen to our country with this mess isn't it? It's either they rush the fence or pile into boats and run into our neighborhoods. ICE has no more power, the police can't do anything nor do they want to anymore. All while Newscum thinks he's going to be president one day because of how he runs the hell hole that is California.
The reason we must import all these techies from overseas is because we can't homegrow them in our own country. Why can't Westerners fill these jobs? Is it because wht people aren't smart enough?
We used to do it. The Italians had their renaissance with Westerners like Leonardo DeVinci. Kepler was a Westerner, Issac Newton was a Westerner. The American space program landed a man on the moon with almost entirely Western scientists.
So what has changed? Its the Western education systems that have changed. Liberals ruined American public schools, almost deliberately. We spend more per capita on children's education than any other nation on earth yet can't manage to education enough Doctors and engineers.
Yet nations, who spend a small fraction of what we spend on education, produce more doctors and engineer than we can. THIS should be a source of great national shame for Western nations. But it isn't. Why is that? Remember that, the next time you vote.
Cpt, next time vote for the candidate that promises to fix the mexican border and the immigration law. If your authorities can be fooled this easy, there's something fundamentally wrong with your country.
Chinese aren't the majority of asylum seekers, that's still Venezuelans who are probably still coming from worse situations than many of those Chinese.
I lived in Sanya on Hainan Island for three years. It was supposedly going to be the next Macau. Huge "Vegas" style resorts were being constructed, but gambling was still not allowed. It was all based on a promise.... you build it, and we'll allow it. It never happened. But I worked in one of these resorts. I opened a fine dining restaurant on a beach, beautiful views, beautiful resort! The restaurant had floor to ceiling glass windows overlooking the beach and the South China Sea. The windows looked from the outside like a solid black panel. it wasn't mirrored, it was just like a solid black panel. You couldn't see into the restaurant, but the view from inside the restaurant was spectacular. You could see out, but you can't see in. So when it opened we had high rolling guests trying to get the table by the windows. The only problem was that groundsmen, gardeners and all other myriad of local employees didn't understand the concept. They would come, look around furtively and then piss up against the window..... and table 12 will have view they never thought possible! The real China!
Wow! 😂

This was stark. I really get on with how you talk.
A Hong Konger who got away told me how Chinese people are incredibly self contained and isolated from each other emotionally even in families. Its the horrible legacy of their history and current situation, the price they pay to appease their leader - one man, who has them trapped. It's a living nightmare and the lack of charity, pity and empathy is hard to contemplate.
My native chinese mom who grew up in China told me about how horrible the CCP is and how they brainwash the Chinese in mainland china.
She said that before xin jinping and Covid, China wasn’t as bad, but now it’s terrible
She also said she doesn’t recommend being friends with any native Chinese in this generation Z and younger generations( because they’re most likely brainwashed)
European civilization needs to learn that lack of charity because we are literally killing ourselves and invading our lands with enemies with all that charity.
Thank you Serpentza for these honest talks for the last years, I wish news had such a direct and experienced format more too...
honest?? lol
3:02 - "The majority of China is not happy... They just survive."
8:33 - "China according to statistics is the least charitable country in the entire world."
"Low-income people in China are treated like dirt by the government and society alike."
Now surviving is not even affordable
I don’t doubt that’s true, however, that’s still a pretty universal statement, really, in general, as it’s not only the Chinese people whom are struggling often financially, physically, &/or psychologically, in fact, always to varying degrees, but especially nowadays, I would think.
@@poempadgett4664Look at population size, density, food and clean water sources, irrigation, farming, and energy supply.

and they always say... 'but that wasn't real communism... we'll get it right next time!'
It's a little more nuanced than that - Communism (or Marxist-Leninism, or Juchism, or Bolivarianism) simply has no cure for bad leadership. Also, average leaders (like Brezhnev) aren't punished for mistakes so things get progressively worse. Ideologically, the leaders of a post-revolutionary state just can't be bad - saying so is considered counter-revolutionary or heretical. China was getting better between about 1990 and 2010 - for a little while, for a lot of people, life in China may have seemed better than life in the West.

Thank you for making these videos, and thank you to Ekster for sponsoring them. 🙏
I watched a documentary a while back called 'Last Train Home' about China's migrant workers returning to their villages during New Year. I was expecting it to be this uplifting tale about a tight-knit family who happily enjoy every second they have together. Instead, it was a depressing portrait of how much poverty, inequality and general misery there really is in most of China's population.
Ya, saw that too. Made me so sad. I wonder how much longer before people in China just stop having children at all, so they can just work to support themselves.
"Once you learn the local language, you can see through the facade" rings true for India as well. As an Indian, I never quite understood why the West sees us as a spiritual land when most people here are just as corrupt and uncaring about the poor.
I've never understood myself either
That's because you never pursued spirituality in India of India, but rather you're a part of the western system established in India, thinking you need to get great education and earn in dollars. When you're thought process itself is not aligned to spirituality you did you expect to see it? One only sees what they want to see.
This doesn't mean I'm discounting the poverty, but your comment is completely illogical. It is not hard to earn good money being in India, while working for your foreign overlords if you're willing to do so. In a country with billion people income inequality is bound to exist in capitalist/socialist/communist societies none of the political systems can distribute wealth equally and fairly which is just simple math. So stop crying on the internet and just do what you think you should be doing. If you think getting out of India would help you then I'd suggest you start working on it right now.
Hindu philosophy and Buddhist philosophy is actually really good, and can be seen as spiritually englightening. The problem is a lot of Indians that live there do not really adhere to it, or try not to understand it, and a lot of foreigners that travel India have some warped ideas in their heads.
@@spaceisawesome1 exactly, I wish we could make a similar understanding for what's happening in China because a lot of framing and projection content are popping off online. I don't want to believe that it's just dystopian shit in China because come on that would be less than human, certainly revolt would break a system like that. So naturally, media frames their place as a place with lots of civil unrest! But come on, it's not "that" strong enough of an unrest to incite chaos around the streets
That was @iamyouu
Fact, a Chinese born woman who was in Hong Kong for years and now lives in England with her British husband.
She went back to her home city in china on holiday last week and struggled, did not like it at all being there.
Coukd not find her way around a small city she grew up in. Had to pay for everything with a phone. (That makes tracking people easy and all the other things the Chinese government want to know about the people)
In fact the young people do NOT actually know what cash is!😧
She said it was depressing to be on holiday there.
It's depressing how Hong Kong has fallen in the last few years alone. Wish they managed to remain independent or under British rule, was much better for them. Many such cases!

Thank you for letting us know. 😢. My prayers are for the people of China.
I think this is one of your best videos. You really were letting your feelings out and described the disappointment of being able to understand what you were reading and hearing around you. Keep up the good work with your videos, they’re very informative and I’ve learned a lot so far. When I’m able, I will contribute to your video fund. Here’s some,that your videos have had me change my purchasing power. Today my father got a nice sport jacket he ordered. It was $400, and that was the sale price. He comes to me and says try this on, see if it fits. It fit, and seemed like a nice blazer then I asked where was it made. On the collar it said made in China and I thanked him but he knew that I had started avoiding anything made in China for a while now. It was tricky though because he first said it was Italian.. on another tag it said “assembled in Italy. So basics;lay, all the stitching, pressing is done in China. The fancy Italian tag inside is basically the only thing ‘assembled’ in Italy. Sneaky.
My parents and in-laws both taught English in China. They were told to never mentions the '3 T's, (Taiwan, Tibet, and Tiananmen), and never show the college student pictures of their houses in America because it would make the students feel bad! I speak Mandarin and have been to China several times, the people were great, but very naive.
I've been to China, six times to work there for 2-4 weeks at a time. My coworkers there were very accomodating/friendly. Some still communicate with me via wechat.
Why you not get out of China, never go back to teach English. We Chinese mum also don't want our kids to be learnt English anymore!!!!
Interesting, who you think to be naive may think that you very people are naive, and that you are naive to conclude them to be great.
@weiyuzhu9373 Some people from a free country can be naive, but those who live in an information access-restricted country are more likely to be naive.
I do feel bad for the gunfights, gangsters, disorder, vagrangts, racism and high crime rate in America. Thinking that somebody is suffering, I literally can't stop crying.😭😭😭
Yes this true. I used to live in China for many years and had a Chinese husband. I learned the real life there and learned Mandarin. All my foreign friends left.
@DawnLi-iw8qb
Are you still married to your husband? Did you live in southern China or northern China?
As always. Anothet great video. Thanks for sharing.
The mindless waste of authoritarianism.
China is the *PRIME* *Example* of why Humans should never wield absolute Power over their fellow Humans. "Plus", Mao is told to have killed *200 "MILLION"* Chinese People during his Reign.
Posts from businessmen say simply that the only things that aren't ponzi schemes are day laborers living on the streets earning just enough to buy food. Literally everything else is losing money.
I have met quite a few Chinese over here in Australia that came from various places, Hong Kong, Singapore, Mainland China etc. And I guess the ones that get out tend to be the educated and active people. That said, I have rarely witnessed a people more dedicated to their families and also hard working, a boon to any society. It pains me that the potential of these people is wasted in such a sorry authoritarian country.
@@Bareego plane ticket costs easily a grand while rural Chinese are paying like 20 bucks to rent a room
The shining light at the end of the tunnel is a train.
Long queues at US embassy is not a great example of how bad the situation in the country is. I have experienced similar long queue in Bern Switzerland.
Having lived in China for over a decade, I can attest: it is an absolutely miserable place. Even with the money I was making there, it was a wretched daily existence. And we were comparatively wealthy. We used to joke how there was literally no fun allowed there.
你确定你来过中国？中国哪里？还在中国呆了十年
What, they didn't let u own slaves or did they not allow u to colonize them or loot them??
@@psr4550 Uh, no. They locked their entire country down for years once they'd let COVID out. They also enacted genocide against the Uyghur people, destroyed Hong Kong, and took away everyone's basic civil rights while poisoning the planet.
What a load of shit. If you didn't have fun, that's on you.
Imagine trying to picnic with about 100,000 people in the park. It looks like a concert setting. People not living, just existing, so sad. And 500 Yen a year, fucking hell excuse the French!
I I met an exchange student from China she was so sweet she was here 6 years I don't think she ever had any friends I felt sorry for her
That was tough thank you for the insight.
Thank you for shining light on this. It is indeed shocking and disconcerting. I met a young lady from China while in Chiang Mai. She was religious and meditated every morning out in the cold air in the garden, wrapped in warm clothing. We talked a little, and she told me how everything China had gained over the five thousand years of civilization is being destroyed. It was very sad and hard to believe. Perhaps it's time for some radical change for the Chinese people.
Communism is the worst form of slavery ever created! I can confirm as the one born and raised in USSR
Another awesome video, thanks for sharing!
I have worked with many Chinese people, they are hard workers and most of them are very polite.
if they made it out of there and know english, just that, it means that they are from a good family or have good education . also everyone like to show a good face to foreigners.
Communism is a great ideal, but not with humans around.
N that’s about it.
@@anon1878especially yt
@@EmeraldHill-vo1cs I had a crazy Russian ex, who used to say, "Communism works great on paper. But eventually someone has to have the job of cleaning the toilets." Meaning, eventually people have to have jobs assigned to them, because they are jobs nobody wants, right? Then it's totalitarianism.
Excellent reports sir! Thank you!
Yes! 20+ yrs ago that was what Chinese students in US said it’s terribly hard to get a visa to go to US!
That’s why none of the students I knew wanted to return to China if they cd; others by all means got ways to stay on…Imagine one of them used the status of a student to stay in US till this day!
Her family has insisted that she continue to find way to stay on in US, don’t ever go back to China!
What will that perpetual student do once they get their PHD? 😂
@@jilbertb She kept doing / prolonging her study in different majors as she cdnt get legally hired with a work permit!
Another couple quickly gave birth to a child so they cd stay on!
I don’t hv news of the others, but I know quick a few stayed on without work permit….
I'm retired and do house clean outs and sell at flea markets. Even when I find brand new items Made in China still in the packaging for free, I can't sell them on-line because the USPS shipping is more expensive for me in the U.S. than from China for the same item! This is because when China was classified as "developing," joining the WTO under a very special deal was not the only advantage it received. It was also placed on the USPS special program for underdeveloped countries. Since that time, China has developed enough to challenge the U.S. with super hi-tech weapons developed with their massive "defense" budget. Yet at the same time it fought tooth and nail to retain the trade privileges' of an underdeveloped country. The bottom line is that the U.S. taxpayer is subsidizing TEMU's shipping from China to the detriment of American small businesses.
The US and Americans are on to the scams of Temu and Schein. And when Trump becomes Prez by some miracle, he will crush those special trade deals and the ccp will fall into oblivion.
even though the TEMU is a Chinese background company, but its investors are mainly from the US. So, no matter you like it or not, that will not hurt the Chinese economy. BTW, we Chinese don't like these shit online shopping companies neither, they are selling rubbish to China and all-around of the world.
TEMU is a scam!
This is true and it infuriates me. This is a disgrace and our politicians need to correct their classification and close this loophole. This is driving small businesses in America to bankruptcy because they cannot match the insanely low price as China uses slave labor, poor quality materials, and shipping and tariff loopholes.
Thank you tor your work. I lived Xi’an from 97-99. I came back and was amazed at the distorted and positive view many Americans have of China and how Americans believe the news coming out of China. It is a desperate and malevolent society that does not value the individual Chinese citizen.
America unfortunately is becoming the same way... People are consumer or political pawns. The people in power only care about you if you're rich/well connected.
