Jeffrey Wang no it's just because everyone forgets about the massive state of Alaska, which would put the US as a larger country in terms of square km/mi. But who cares really.
William Zhang you think Alaska is still part of Russia right? Well its not and thats what makes it larger... And why does size matter? If you guys were third it would have made y'all look even worse with 1 billion people and more people than the US population living under the poverty line.
One tiny nitpick. Chopsticks are mostly made of bamboos, which grows very fast and sprouts every year. So no need to worry that chopsticks is decreasing the density of rainforest. Okay, I just want to say this as well, pickled fish sauce is quite commonly used in the west as well, in fact, you can find it in almost every Chinese restaurant. And yes, it's a essential part of the recipe for many popular dishes, so you've been eating it without even knowing.

@Miguel tvid and the others who asked "have you" Yes I have been to China: I am 3rd generation Canadian who has vacationed extensively in USA, but in 2014 spent 1/2 a year traveling through China. My eyes were opened, all my life the western propaganda machine had me believing lies. Walking at night in the down town of major cities in China is safe while trying that in Atlanta or Phoenix, or Miami or Los Angeles is a life threatening experience. I've seen both. America thinks it's free because you can change the government. BUT GOVERNMENT WARS NEVER STOP because the elected officials answer only to corporations and CASH. In China they can't change the government but they are more free to change government policy. Like the policy that pulled 800 million people out of poverty. No American wants to have perpetual war and yet they do. No Chinese wants perpetual war so they don't. Who has more control. Who has more freedom? In China if you want policy changes you either organize a peaceful public display about what needs changing or join the Communist party to effect change from within. We in the west must stop being so hypocritical, changing our government changes nothing. The bombing and sanctions must go on, someone controls that but it sure isn't the voters. We in the west must start understanding that other systems work as well and perhaps better than ours. We meddle in the affairs of virtually every country in the world .

As a Chinese, I think there are some mistakes in this video. Created by a person of country not China, background far away from China, this video does not show accurate reality of China. There are many detailed information that western people don't know. I can't list all here for limited time and space. Also there are many other similar videos and materials showing China, most of them have problems, I don't wanna and can't point out these problems one by one. It seems that will waste too much time and have liittle effect to correct other peoples' mistakes.
Qiang is absolutely right. I am an exchange student in China, and I must say, it is definitely safer than the US. As long as you obey the law and generally use common sense, the police won't really pay attention to you. They might ask you for your passport, but that's it. And violent crime is almost nonexistent. You might get nervous when you walk down the street, as people will often stare at you, but that is just because most people don't see a lot of foreigners. You do need to worry about thieves if you leave your stuff unattended, but honestly, that is true in pretty much every country. The main thing you will need to watch out for is getting scammed, as since you are foreign, vendors will sometimes jack up the prices. This isn't because they don't like foreigners, they just know you don't know the normal price and they think you have more money. As a rule of thumb, don't pay much more than you would whereever you live. Overall, China is a very safe place. The problems the media portrays, while not necessarily false, are greatly exaggerated. You don't need to worry about police harassment or being thrown in jail for no reason. China isn't a police state. And as for violent crime, it is actually safer than most other places. Hope you have a great time!

Do you expect each comment to debunk all 101 facts? If you've ever been to china or actually done proper research, you'd realize he's so wrong, it would be quicker to point out actual "facts" he stated
China is a beautiful country and has a far developed infrastructure than US or Europe but you won't hear them from Western media, so you actually have to visit there to see the beauty.
As an American, I am 100 percent okay with you doing a 101 facts on Football, but I also ask that one day you do a 101 facts on American Football as well.
You got the Great Wall part wrong, there were several Great Walls and the one that is the best known is the Ming Great Wall, the Qin Walls have mostly collapsed because they were bulit from earth and rocks rather than stone stone bricks and rice cement. They are seperate walls in different areas, not the same one.
If you count starving to death caused by natural disasters mass muder I don't really get your logic, there was a 12 year natural disaster which caused crops to die through out the whole country, thats exactly why China developed GM rice so they can stop the starvation. Mao is not perfect and have done bad things, but he kick started scientific research, agricultrure and heavy/light industries for China, he also got rid of many ridiculous folk traditions, people respected him so much that even bandits refused to rob anything with his photo place on it, he was literally the only person that the public hailed "long live" to since the last emperor, and if you think everyone is brain washed I just have nothing to say, you don't get away with mass murder and have a whole country that basically worships you as a god. So please do more research before you say someone is bad or evil, change comes with sacrifice and sacrifice lead to negative news and reports and reporter will always exaggerate events to gain popularity. I have lived in the Western society long enough to know that mainly negative news of China gets through to the Western world, there are rarely any positive news if any. The law about the visiting elderlies did not pass in the supereme court so it's not in effect.

19:07 I read a Chinese schoolbook that says chopsticks were invented when a man and his friend had a race to see who would finish their bowl of rice first and the food was hot so this guy took 2 sticks of the ground and "finished his meal at lightning speed" then his friend said "wow you ate so fast(筷)" and that is also why chopsticks in Chinese is called 筷子
It is not considered a country, by the antarctic treaty signed in 1959 no government can lay claim to the continent of Antarctica, even so without said treaty, there would need to be a permanent population as well as a governing body and a constitution, not even to mention international recognition from the united nations security council. Also if you are going to say it does have a population, made up of scientists, then no, it does not, as the scientists do not remain there for the entirety of their lives, nor has anyone ever remained there for the entirety of their life.
There are not any permanent residents of Antarctica, there is a fluctuating 1000-5000 temporary scientists that visit each year, but there is no permanent inhabitants, if you can provide proof that there is a permanent population I would gladly accept it, my source is mentalfloss.com/article/29708/11-cold-hard-facts-about-antarctica and www.coolantarctica.com/Antarctica%20fact%20file/science/can_you_live_in_antarctica.php
It says within your article that there is no permanent population under the section labeled "Who lives in antarctica today, and nowhere within the article does it speak of a permanent population anywheres else, except for a permanent base, which is just a location in which habitants can live

fact 56: in the part of China I live in, wearing white-ish on wedding(the old school ritual, wedding reception is ok) is frowned upon but alright as long as it's not all white. On the other hand, red on funeral is a BIG no-no, not even a bit. with that said, you can't wear white and red on funeral, it's just too happy color-wise. And in some regional myth, the death would haunt the person who wore red. LOL fact 66: QQ is not (at least mainly not) mail service, it's a IM that also provide many other services, basically a IM-based internet platform. RenRen(facebook-like) became obsolete since 2014, after Sina Weibo (Twitter-like) is widely used. Then WeChat (a product derived from QQ that combined IM with Twitter-like social features) took over to make Weibo obsolete now.

min 3.31 Macau was taken by the portuguese in 1887 ??? China offered Macau to the portuguese and Luso-Chinese trade relations were formally established in 1554 and Portugal soon after acquired a permanent lease for Macau in 1557, agreeing to pay 500 taels of silver as annual land rent. Portugal had at that time intense commerce with Japan and brought japanese silver to China, a metal China lacked By the way - China offered the trading post Macau to the Portuguese as a gratitude because the Portuguese had destroyed the pirates that had been assailing the south coast of China for decades
A series of political, economic and military missteps led to the KMT's defeat and its retreat to Taiwan (formerly "Formosa") in 1949, where it established an authoritarian one-party state continuing under Generalissimo/President Chiang Kai-shek. This state considered itself to be the continuing sole legitimate ruler of all of China, referring to the communist government or "regime" as illegitimate, a so-called "People's Republic of China" (PRC) declared in Beijing (Peking) by Mao Zedong in 1949, as "mainland China", "Communist China, or "Red China". The Republic of China was supported for many years - even decades - by many nations, especially the United States who established a 1954 Mutual Defense treaty. After political liberalization began in the late 1960s, the PRC was able - after a constant yearly campaign in the United Nations - to finally get approval in 1971 to take the seat for "China" in the General Assembly, and more importantly, be seated as one of the five permanent members of the Security Council. After recovering from this shock of rejection by its former allies and liberalization in the late 1970s from the Nationalist authoritarian government and following the death of Chiang Kai-shek, the Republic of China has transformed itself into a multiparty, representative democracy on Taiwan and given more representation to those native Taiwanese, whose ancestors predate the 1949 mainland evacuation.

Where in the US the only care for themselves also China isn’t the most communist it’s a capital and communist country so know your shit before say fake ass shit
Correction! Macau was under Portuguese rule for 400 years, not since 1887. China wanted to take Macau back by 1999 just because Chinese government did not want to bring this matter pass 2000. It has nothing to do with the 99-year lease like Hong Kong.
I'd take the information in this video with a grain of salt if I were you guys. I'll be damned if I were to believe everything I see or watched on the internet.
It should be noted that China is not Communist, not even Socialist. Socialism requires for the workers to own the means of production, and for wealth to be distributed "to each according to their ability, to each according to their need." China does neither of these. The state owns the means of production, generating wealth for itself. It's another form of aristocracy. Some companies even have suicide nets to stop workers killing themselves due to the poor working conditions. This is called State Capitalism. While there are a few modern "Communists" who do advocate for dictators like Castro, Stalin or Mao, they are in the extreme minority. The majority of modern day Communists are Anarchists, who oppose all unjust hierarchies; including the state. Anarchists advocate for horizontality and mutual aid based on need, rather than hierarchies based on wealth.
Hell, China isn't even anti-capitalist. No country with that many Starbucks, McDonalds, & KFC could be. Now Washington State Democrats are ironically extremely Socialist.
Sam! I couldn’t help but notice how your tone changed when you spoke of the “one child law” and the heartbreaking repercussions. I think that was beautiful of you and quite appropriate. I didn’t think I could like you more 😍 but now I do!!

Tip: 1. go after October 7th because during the whole-week holiday it’s crowded everywhere 2. Make sure you’ve got a vpn or something or you’ll might be unable to use some foreign apps like RUclips and Twitter 3. Most people here can speak simple English, if you need to communicate with local people, remember to speak slowly and clearly and try to use some simple words because not everyone’s good at English 4. It might be useful to remember the number gestures that’s used in China 5. Most people here are kind and warm-hearted, if you need help you can just ask people around you for help, remember to ask people who looks more decent and well-educated, they might be able to speak English 6. Don’t believe any fucking words the video tell you, it’s just disgusting stereotypes and nonsense. Hope I’m not telling you too late.
I made it finished to watching this video as a Chinese, but it is still a stereotypical video to introduce China in typical western views. I have to say that some "fact" in this video had been proved as rumours, like fake eggs. But still hoping your videos to be better and just be a little bit more objectively.

Gotta love all the people saying “you are wrong” with no further explanation or examples
Do you expect each comment to debunk all 101 facts? If you've ever been to china or actually done proper research, you'd realize he's so wrong, it would be quicker to point out actual "facts" he stated
Did you just consider Antartica a country?!
LOL!
It's a land-mass with a name so he wasn't wrong.
They probably got it wrong without noticing
It can technically can be considered a country...
NoEffortIncluded no it can’t it’s a continent that has land owned by other countries, that’s like saying Asia is a country!
amazing video, who agrees ?
China is a beautiful country and has a far developed infrastructure than US or Europe but you won't hear them from Western media, so you actually have to visit there to see the beauty.
As an American, I am 100 percent okay with you doing a 101 facts on Football, but I also ask that one day you do a 101 facts on American Football as well.
You got the Great Wall part wrong, there were several Great Walls and the one that is the best known is the Ming Great Wall, the Qin Walls have mostly collapsed because they were bulit from earth and rocks rather than stone stone bricks and rice cement. They are seperate walls in different areas, not the same one.
If you count starving to death caused by natural disasters mass muder I don't really get your logic, there was a 12 year natural disaster which caused crops to die through out the whole country, thats exactly why China developed GM rice so they can stop the starvation. Mao is not perfect and have done bad things, but he kick started scientific research, agricultrure and heavy/light industries for China, he also got rid of many ridiculous folk traditions, people respected him so much that even bandits refused to rob anything with his photo place on it, he was literally the only person that the public hailed "long live" to since the last emperor, and if you think everyone is brain washed I just have nothing to say, you don't get away with mass murder and have a whole country that basically worships you as a god. So please do more research before you say someone is bad or evil, change comes with sacrifice and sacrifice lead to negative news and reports and reporter will always exaggerate events to gain popularity. I have lived in the Western society long enough to know that mainly negative news of China gets through to the Western world, there are rarely any positive news if any.
The law about the visiting elderlies did not pass in the supereme court so it's not in effect.
To note: China is actually the 3rd largest country in the world ahead of the United States, but just by land area between the 2, China is way bigger.

Also, I LOL in the most literal way at every crude joke, pun, and visual in every video. I'm learning and I'm entertained! Awesome shiz.
19:07 I read a Chinese schoolbook that says chopsticks were invented when a man and his friend had a race to see who would finish their bowl of rice first and the food was hot so this guy took 2 sticks of the ground and "finished his meal at lightning speed" then his friend said "wow you ate so fast(筷)" and that is also why chopsticks in Chinese is called 筷子

im sorry but did you put antarctica as a country in second place at 1:25 ?
Johndaniel132 Confused me too.
Antarctica is considered a country and continent however mainly inhabitable for humans.
It is not considered a country, by the antarctic treaty signed in 1959 no government can lay claim to the continent of Antarctica, even so without said treaty, there would need to be a permanent population as well as a governing body and a constitution, not even to mention international recognition from the united nations security council. Also if you are going to say it does have a population, made up of scientists, then no, it does not, as the scientists do not remain there for the entirety of their lives, nor has anyone ever remained there for the entirety of their life.
There are not any permanent residents of Antarctica, there is a fluctuating 1000-5000 temporary scientists that visit each year, but there is no permanent inhabitants, if you can provide proof that there is a permanent population I would gladly accept it, my source is mentalfloss.com/article/29708/11-cold-hard-facts-about-antarctica and www.coolantarctica.com/Antarctica%20fact%20file/science/can_you_live_in_antarctica.php
It says within your article that there is no permanent population under the section labeled "Who lives in antarctica today, and nowhere within the article does it speak of a permanent population anywheres else, except for a permanent base, which is just a location in which habitants can live
Chunyun is actually a wave of traveller where they return to their home province from their work province to celebrate the Chinese new year

fact 56: in the part of China I live in, wearing white-ish on wedding(the old school ritual, wedding reception is ok) is frowned upon but alright as long as it's not all white. On the other hand, red on funeral is a BIG no-no, not even a bit. with that said, you can't wear white and red on funeral, it's just too happy color-wise. And in some regional myth, the death would haunt the person who wore red. LOL
fact 66: QQ is not (at least mainly not) mail service, it's a IM that also provide many other services, basically a IM-based internet platform. RenRen(facebook-like) became obsolete since 2014, after Sina Weibo (Twitter-like) is widely used. Then WeChat (a product derived from QQ that combined IM with Twitter-like social features) took over to make Weibo obsolete now.

Macau was taken by the portuguese in 1887 ???
China offered Macau to the portuguese and
Luso-Chinese trade relations were formally established in 1554 and Portugal soon after acquired a permanent lease for Macau in 1557, agreeing to pay 500 taels of silver as annual land rent.
Portugal had at that time intense commerce with Japan and brought japanese silver to China, a metal China lacked
By the way - China offered the trading post Macau to the Portuguese as a gratitude because the Portuguese had destroyed the pirates that had been assailing the south coast of China for decades

So true i agree
A series of political, economic and military missteps led to the KMT's defeat and its retreat to Taiwan (formerly "Formosa") in 1949, where it established an authoritarian one-party state continuing under Generalissimo/President Chiang Kai-shek. This state considered itself to be the continuing sole legitimate ruler of all of China, referring to the communist government or "regime" as illegitimate, a so-called "People's Republic of China" (PRC) declared in Beijing (Peking) by Mao Zedong in 1949, as "mainland China", "Communist China, or "Red China". The Republic of China was supported for many years - even decades - by many nations, especially the United States who established a 1954 Mutual Defense treaty. After political liberalization began in the late 1960s, the PRC was able - after a constant yearly campaign in the United Nations - to finally get approval in 1971 to take the seat for "China" in the General Assembly, and more importantly, be seated as one of the five permanent members of the Security Council. After recovering from this shock of rejection by its former allies and liberalization in the late 1970s from the Nationalist authoritarian government and following the death of Chiang Kai-shek, the Republic of China has transformed itself into a multiparty, representative democracy on Taiwan and given more representation to those native Taiwanese, whose ancestors predate the 1949 mainland evacuation.
Some Chinese are called "a bank" or "a spaceship" so the name "Olympic games" is not a big deal

Correction! Macau was under Portuguese rule for 400 years, not since 1887. China wanted to take Macau back by 1999 just because Chinese government did not want to bring this matter pass 2000. It has nothing to do with the 99-year lease like Hong Kong.

It should be noted that China is not Communist, not even Socialist. Socialism requires for the workers to own the means of production, and for wealth to be distributed "to each according to their ability, to each according to their need."
China does neither of these. The state owns the means of production, generating wealth for itself. It's another form of aristocracy. Some companies even have suicide nets to stop workers killing themselves due to the poor working conditions.
This is called State Capitalism. While there are a few modern "Communists" who do advocate for dictators like Castro, Stalin or Mao, they are in the extreme minority. The majority of modern day Communists are Anarchists, who oppose all unjust hierarchies; including the state.
Anarchists advocate for horizontality and mutual aid based on need, rather than hierarchies based on wealth.
Hell, China isn't even anti-capitalist. No country with that many Starbucks, McDonalds, & KFC could be. Now Washington State Democrats are ironically extremely Socialist.

Tip: 1. go after October 7th because during the whole-week holiday it’s crowded everywhere 2. Make sure you’ve got a vpn or something or you’ll might be unable to use some foreign apps like RUclips and Twitter 3. Most people here can speak simple English, if you need to communicate with local people, remember to speak slowly and clearly and try to use some simple words because not everyone’s good at English 4. It might be useful to remember the number gestures that’s used in China 5. Most people here are kind and warm-hearted, if you need help you can just ask people around you for help, remember to ask people who looks more decent and well-educated, they might be able to speak English 6. Don’t believe any fucking words the video tell you, it’s just disgusting stereotypes and nonsense. Hope I’m not telling you too late.
