My mate almost died from buying protein powder online , put him in a wheelchair for two years had some bacteria in it, same sort of thing you were talking bout
@Trius Some of the so called 'diet' pills contain tapeworm eggs. Sure, you will loose weight fast but spaghetti worms will come streaming out your rear end eventually.
Chinese have develope nice electro mechanics such as gimbels. But many parts things such. Thet steal and patents and intellectual properties are nothing worth.
Nobody wants to invent anything or create new ideas as they have no patent or copyright law. Anything decent you create in China can and will be immediately stolen, copied and counterfeited by everyone else. Inventing things and getting new ideas off the ground usually takes a lot of time, effort and sacrifice. Why bother when you'll never really own your ideas and inventions you may as well just copy others. Sad but it's true. We have an amazingly brilliant way of doing things here in the west. We respect individual rights and property.
It is amazing how Serpentza know where the problems exist in China being a foreigner as China is not exactly "international compatible". Cheers for the continuous good work on exposing issues which hopefully will make China better in a shorter time period.
I live in Denmark , we have the company Novo Nordic that produces insulin and insulin pens , they are well known for the accuracy of the insulin pens , these pens where copied in China and sold through pharmacies there , looked totally similar , but very dangerous due to unaccuracy dosage , in some cases they gave 50 x the dosis . Its said that Novo Nordic had the triads (chinese mafia) to sort out this problem , police didnt help . Rumors says that the triads burned down the copy facility .
Well... Difficult to believe that inside EU, in Denmark, authorities do allow to sold such copied products at all. I like to see more evidence for that before I believe it.
Last time when I went back to Fuzhou, bought some corona and rice balls from the convenient store, had a great time with my cousin, the night view of the Min Jiang was great, the whole experience of reminiscing the childhood memory was just awesome. But I didn't realise that corona was a knockoff one. Next morning, paralysed for whole day, went to the local clinic, could not control myself, vomited in front of the doctor. Most embarrassed day of my life I promise.
China is a wonderful country full of wonderful people, but there is always room for improvement. Glad to see that some people are focusing on getting rid of some of the 'bad' stuff.
Them filling those beers up made me feel sick. Dirty hands. Dirty everything. Yuk. I don't think I have ever been that grossed out by a video. That's bathroom. Omg
Your videos are really interesting. The one main thing I really loved about this particular video is the way you talked about how counterfeit affects the poor people and how it affects you. You showed your love for the people and the sadness this induces into you rather than simply being angry at chinese products like a lot of people do. Your videos are great (Y)
This is one reason why foreign companies have to put their own people in place of operations in China to ensure that everything runs as expected. A friend of mine had some products made in China. The samples were perfect and built to spec. When he released the production order, product that arrived was not uniform at all. The vendor decided to make changes to the design because it saved them money regardless of what his design called for.
that stuff happens all the time, i ordered cables and stuff with no cables inside of them, no copper wires. to many people cut corners to save a few bucks and loss the contract. seriously you have to put your foot on someones neck in china to get anything done right.
Quality will improve when workers can afford the products they produce. Then China will no longer have a cheap labor advantage. For instance Thailand has much better quality control. Their labor rate is more expensive than China. It is always a compromise. How much money are you willing to pay for upper management to control quality.
fatboy19831 the problems is the Chinese government goes out of its way to keep its people poor and the currency low. the last thing Chinese people want to buy is stuff made in china. if its not made in china then china has no use for the rest of the world who specially goes to china for the cheap labor.
bird718 No developing country can compare with China's speed of pulling its people out of poverty. No sane person would deny that. Also, the currency is currently priced right, not undervalued. China has better quality control than Thailand, and its workers are more expensive. China's workers are even more expensive than Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, and the entire developing Asia. Manufacturing wages are fast catching up with Greece and Portugal with about 70% of the weaker Eurozone countries. Source is the financial times titled "Chinese wages now high than in Brazil, Argentina, Mexico". Whoever still thinks China is competing with cheap labor is incredibly out of date. It is the supply chain and infrastructure that makes China so attractive for manufacturing goods even though labor is more expensive. Even with more expensive labor costs, most still choose to manufacture in China simply because it ends up cheaper. The Chinese are also best known for their disciplined workers. If you think the Chinese are bad, trying making something in other developing countries. The revelation will come quick. You can't compare China with a developed country. Of course China would be worse than a developed country in many areas but are easily the best in the developing world.
I feel ill watching that clip of the fake beer operation. Youve gone over it many times, but it's still so hard to understand why all this dangerous fakery is so widespread. It seems like multiple parties across the supply chain are complicit.
I've lived in China for many years and once visited a friend's Mum and Dad at their grape farm (you couldn't quite call it a vinyard)! They kindly told us that we could help ourselves to grapes but told us to avoid certain vines as they had been painted red because they were worth more money at market!
I boiled brown "cage free" eggs, and the brown rubs off. I guess something about brown eggs makes them seem healthier than white eggs. It also lets them charge 4x more. Hello from the US, we have fake food too.
I think the only difference is, that for western people the fake product are less acceptable than China, We have a kind of proud of consuming original products too...
@@jessicah3450 There are multiple places you can go to report them/even have a viable lawsuit. Fake consumer products are rare in the US due to our strict societal standards on business liability.
I am 100% Chinese and I am usually lenient about sanitary in China but that Bathroom is a big no no, ill rather shit in the street than shit there. Peeing in there feels like the bathroom stained my pee.
johnnyboi943 is that why I’ve seen Chinese people shitting in the street in Amsterdam and London? Because they think our toilets are like the ones in China?
Howzer The man You might have hit the jackpot, its been 10 years since I saw a Chinese person shit on the street, and it was a kid under a tree in a quiet neighborhood.
It's so interesting what you said about the fact that many people end up dying from fake Chinese bear and such. I've actually lost two good friends that have gone to China to teach English and literally within the first week of being there, they both died due to some form of intoxicative consumption. This was on two very separate occasions (several years apart) and they didn't know each other at all. It just seemed strange to me that both my friends who chose to go there died of similar causes and in similar ways. Poignant stuff. Anyway, I believe this is my first comment on your videos, so let me make a quick introduction. I'm also from South Africa - Johannesburg to be exact, and also have a keen interest in all things asian as well as motorcycling. So naturally your channels piqued my interest on various levels and I've been following them both for quite some time now. I think the work you do is terrific and immensely inspiring as well as objective. I wish you all the best for your journey to Northern China, which I'm following closely, and want to encourage you to keep at it, even in spite of the recent difficulties you've been experiencing with Chinese authorities and society in general. Keep up the good work!!
That restroom gave me flashbacks of my first trip to China in 1985. I was part of a school group and part of the trip was to remote areas in western China. That restroom was similar to the public restrooms in those remote areas, but there was no water at all even to wash one's hands. There was forget about any sort of flushing.
Thanks for pushing ahead making these videos in spite of the criticism. They are highly useful and informative for those of us who spend time China. I wish there was some type of journalism award you could win for making these.
Please know more about china. It has been a buisiness degrading china on youtube and other media. If you truly wonder why, watch some unbiased videos about china.
China still follows their version of communism, but it’s really more like poorly regulated socialism. They embody a lot of the aspects of communism in practice that make it unappealing while incorporating elements of capitalism because it was necessary to enrich the country and perpetuate the system. The Soviet Union did a similar thing under Gorbachev, but they also gave more political freedom, eventually leading to revolution. China showed with the Tiananmen Square massacre that they wouldn’t allow that to happen. The people have to remain apolitical unless they’re venerating the government. They can’t call out the bribing of inspectors and other regulators to keep unsafe food products and medicines from being discontinued. That’s why they’re in this situation.
Wow, I knew China was good at making knock offs but didn't know the situation was that bad! I'll be sure to buy my beer, and other consumables, only from big name stores when I travel to China in the future. Thanks for the heads up, Winston!
As for me, I would like to say he shows a real China that has good sides and bad sides. China is not the heaven, nor the hell. There's a lot we could do better.
+Hugo Lindum Because he's a racist idiot who enjoys African style crime, corrupt govt., black outs, detoriating transit systems, water sanctions and the coming drought and famine, because they are too stupid and too racist to learn from the fall of Rhodesia.
The more I run into your videos and give a look I find myself watching the whole thing through..and at the end I feel so sad and bewildered ....I feel so terrible for the Chinese people and I blame their government for every last misery that they go through..then I find the need to pray for them,., the best celebration for the Chinese people is coming when they finally will be free of that vicious un awesome government the CCP...may God bless them, protect them and change their hearts in Jesus Mighty name.
Oh yeah! Accurate as hell. If it's a fake gas station it's probably not connected to any sewage system as well. Therefore you just have an out house style slit or drop toilet that may or may not ever be pumped out. Fricken disgusting if you ever run into one. Again it is all about the money. You make money selling gas; no money is made allowing people to sh*t in your toilet. The filth also discourages people from using the toilet as well.
Something that bad is not common at all lol. 1st tier cities are generally alright unless you have a problem with squatting toilets. It gets much worse in 3rd tier cities. Those are the "developing" parts of China. I saw stuff like that in Malaysia about 5 to 10 years ago, depending on which part of Malaysia we are talking about.
Your footage of the toilet in China reminds me of the Toilets in Iran's premier airport, Tehran Mehr Abad. You could smell it from many meters away. I seem to have approached from upwind, and as I turned the corner to go in the stench hit me so violently I actually Gagged and pretty much ran away to save myself from vomiting on my shoes and worst. All of these places LOVE to portray themselves as modern and civilized, reality is something else entirely.
Your video toilets are clean compared to dee Mexican ones. Being Mexican-American, I am not proud of this., just trying to be fair. Maybe it be the diets... falafel cannot beat chicarrones and pozole. No way! Dis be where America is headed when Democraps take over. Biden be 20% ahead of Trump in dee polls. Be afraid, very afraid. VOTE ALL DEMOCRAPS OUT OF OFFICE WHEREVER THEY LURK!
I have been to China, South Korea, and Japan. Comparing the three countries I can say without a doubt that I will never go back to China ever again. It really was the worst experience in my life. The people are rude, dirty, arrogant, and so self centered. South Korea and Japan on the other hand I started going back to those countries regularly. Especially Japan, it was a complete 180 from China. The people were polite and mindful of others, also they would go out of their way to help me for directions.
I absolutely agree. I've never been to Japan but I stayed at Beijing and Seoul and I must say I will never go back to china. I've been pick pocketed, scammed, and yelled at just for asking for directions. AND I HADN'T EVEN LEFT THE AIRPORT! But man korea was great. It helped that the language in Korea was easy to learn to read and speak as well so that was a definite plus. As for chinesr..very difficult to have learned before going. I want to go to Japan next. I've heard great things.
Well, I grow up China now a US citizen, sadly, I must say it is true. But if you know a little more about Chinese history, you will not be suprised why China turns into a shxt hole. Anyways, I feels so ashemed and embarrassed, few hundreds years ago, Japanese people learns all these good cultures from China, even part of the language, and Korean used to be a affiliated state of China. And look at them,they doing great now, and you look back to China..... Sigh..... a shxthole with full of scammers and liers. Again, very ashemed and embarrassed.
One should not compare China with others especially Japan and South Korea the simple reason is JAN and S Korea have much less population and have been capitalism for many decades.... China has its big population plus so much to develop from hygiene to social security and so on. It can appear that some modern provinces such as Shangai, Beijing, Canton, Fujian etc. Also lots of modern clothes, many new cars and super rich leaders and landlords, so forth. But this is only a small portion of people. 3/4 people are struggling to live up a decent life. The gap of the poor and rich is too wide ! @
The Chinese were worried when UK checked meat and discovered that there was a lot of horse meat being passed off as beef from EU countries. Luckily for China no one thought to check for dog meat so Uk continues to happily eat those imports. When you can save 50p a kg, people are happy to eat any meat if they think it saves them money.
Stevia Sugar Also avoid electronics. A friend's dad got an USB stick that was supposed to be 60gb, it was a 1gb stick that just had bios forged to look and register as a 60gb. Also they just blatantly sell the shittiest led lights etc. as high end UV lights. In other words, if you buy chinese, always make sure you have a guaranteed way to get your money back that does not involve the seller, and never take the word of the seller.
Well you can ask for refund or return or make a complaint to the Taobao. They will sort it out. I’ve been using taobao for like 5 years. I returned or get refund sometimes simply because I don’t like the things I bought. That’s easy.
I've been watching you for a couple of months now. I've learned more from you than I ever thought I would in a lifetime! Btw it's cool that you read comments from your very previous videos! Stay Awesome!
pizzafrenzyman no there are way too many people... nearly 1.4billion. 1% wont be enough... and tbh it’s their natural instinct to bad things. Like India has nearly the same condition but poorer, but still doesn’t make as much fake stuff as China.
I talked to enough Chinese about problems in China and most of them said the same "The 90% Chinese can suffer if it make it better to 10% and to the country as a whole". I then told them what if you later become that 90% and they said it will never happens. The lack of compassion and lack of foresight for most Chinese are real problem and the main cause of it.
But they have a much better justification for the military expenses than the country that is the reason for them. Look at the USA's military budget and then take all the followup-ranking countries until they match that, and you see who the USA is at war with.
If the bathrooms are that neglected, do you really think they take better care of their fuel storage tanks? There must be a significant amount of contamination (ground water) that gets into the storage tanks. Melamine (toxic to kidneys) has been used often to artificially boost protein values in baby formula, pet food and other products for consumption. Melamine is cheaper.
I lol'd IRL at that bathroom. I've never seen anything that horrible here in GZ. It makes me think how sheltered foreigners can be living in China if you've never left the nice areas. The fact that no one has complained and had it cleaned is hilarious. Stay safe you guys~
@Johan Couder Sorry, life often doesn't warn you, but life does show you the aftermath. For example, let me tell you that actually the Chinese restaurants you have ever tired, their kitchens are all looking like this toilet.
@@pedrodeo4099 it's not just some assholes living in a tiny secluded community, theyre making products that can give anyone in the country cancer fucking horrible
Here in Sweden I see Chinese people in one of the supermarkets I go to. And one thing they buy a lot of is milk powder. Not for consumption, they box it up and mail it to China. I assume they are students since there's student housing close buy. According to friend of mine, boxing up milk powder and mail it, started just after the milk powder incident in China.
People do it in Australia too. Send milk powder in bulk to China, where the locals pay top dollar for imported product because they don't trust the local supply. People may look at these videos and think they're unfair or even racist, painting Chinese products with a broad brush of being counterfeits and ripoffs, but unfortunately the local Chinese population in China doesn't trust Chinese products either.
no need to look to europe country , try take a look at the nearest neighbour Hong Kong, chinese people come and go buying all milk powder and baby formula to be sold in china
All the wordings in Inner Mongolia are written in two languages, simply Chinese Mongolian. And the characters really look like BBQ sticks!! We just went to the desert and grassland last month and I am also doing some vlogging about our trips in China, get a lot of inspiration from you. Stay awesome 你真棒 haha...
@ Winston, Someone just reported to me that some clips in this videos ( the ones showing fake product manufacture lines ) are cropped version taken from Chinese media. The original version is how the Chinese law enforcement crashing down these workshops. Winston, can you explain why you have to wipe off the parts that showing how the police crashing down these workshops?
Maha K it's the people not the governments the people have become far worse so you get tyrant ruling.... nothing new ...if people have good values they would have good rulers it's that simple.
I feel bad for y'all. When I went to India I had a pretty fun time there (it was because of work) (and I'm American). The people over there are pretty nice. China, on the other hand, is not. I'm staying as far away from that country as I can.
With a twisted names from other established brands doesn't establish any brand of which it is the main objective of business anyway, they should have a culture of establishing names with originality like Haier, Huawei and so on, if this two can make it then the culture of plagiarizing others should stop because if China can make quality fakes what is the point of keeping that kind of bad marketing practice ? Why not just use own brand?
I know that but such understanding is more relevant if one is from a smaller country but China already got the knowhow and the market and then there has be a starting point towards something new including to branch off from such plagiarizing mindset and mega advertising has not been used by some now established China brands like Huawei, ZTE or Haier as some of these China companies showed that starting as online brand before getting into mainstream as Huawei does, a lot of excuses can be accepted during the earliy stage of China rising but now the country do have what it take to do things better so I think if they continue the names copying culture that would be the real end for further opportunities as some other Asian emerging economies like Vietnam or Indonesia might reach a state of repute one day
"money is god", sad but true. I saw an interview with a very young chinese lady working a less than ethical but fantastically well-paid job. She got tips as high as 30k. When she was asked if she would quit the job once she had earned enough money, she at once answered decisively, "you can never have enough money!" depressing.
They have banned fake items... And you believe they are able to control this? 🤣 Many fakes are so good they are not that easy to recognize and when they get cought sellers have a dozen alternative accounts. Do you think they would be able to stop YOU, if you wanted to sell fakes there?
Lol don't believe them. Obviously everything there is fake. There are better quality replicas like the guy above me said. You can only get official Vans shoes in reputable stores.
It would be nice if developing countries learnt from the mistakes other countries made, but they continue to follow the same route and have the same problems, and they continue to think they can do it better. Using communism as a basis for political control is one example, or trying to fix prices in shops to stop inflation, or devaluing the countries currency to solve inflation problems. The greatest lesson from history is that most ignore its lessons...
The thing I don't understand is how they try so hard to knockoff all these brands but then have to switch the letters to something slightly different? Why not go all the way? You mentioned before that knocking off isn't illegal in China, so why not put the actual name of a brand up instead of something close to it?
Back in 1986 I bought a bottled soda in Kunming and after starting to drink it it tasted really weird. I got very sick that night. Today I still believe that someone had collected empty soda bottles, refilled them with their own concoction of water, sugar, flavoring, and fizz and sold them on the street. Rumors were that the water could have come from any unsafe source and the fizz may have been created by an Alka-Seltzer like tablet.
Seems a few Chinese need to be reminded of their Confucian roots. Old Chinese proverb: *_"If in the way of riches, do not use improper means to possess them: if in the way of misfortune, do not use improper means to avoid it"_*
In the miso soup they don't believe in him because he wasn't a Maoist communist if the figure goes against the state then they censor the shit out of it.
Very real and honest presentation... I have been deceived at least 20 times with goods from China... Vendors on ebay often advertise that they are American and the items are in stock... but then they take my money and then order from China. The items take over 2 months to receive and they are often fraudulent. For instance, I bought a water proof camera that was only a plastic shell... I bought a computer memory stick that was blank... I bought a kitchen appliance and the handle immediately broke off... I bought a winter jacket that had no insulation... I bought a shirt that was a factory second with one sleeve sown shut... I bought several items that I never received and then the seller disappeared from ebay and then simply opened another account... I bought hiking boots that were several sizes too small, as well as at least 10 other pieces of clothing that were several sizes too small. Some of the Chinese sellers place ads on the internet pretending to be American companies, but they take my money and then order from China. Here are just a couple of examples: Solara and AnnieCloth designer women's clothing, and MyGeniusGift that sells gadgets... I know that many of the Chinese are not like that... but far too many are swindlers. Which causes me to not want to buy anything from China again...
That toilet was last cleaned in Xia dynasty.
All someone needs to do is walk in there with a hose every now and then. That place needs to be shut down for public safety reasons.
Not true!! I am a Chinese and I can confirm it was last cleaned during the Tang Dynasty not Xia.

johnnyboi943 is that why I’ve seen Chinese people shitting in the street in Amsterdam and London? Because they think our toilets are like the ones in China?
Howzer The man You might have hit the jackpot, its been 10 years since I saw a Chinese person shit on the street, and it was a kid under a tree in a quiet neighborhood.
"Feels like the bathroom stained my pee" lol :D I love this comment
If you shit in the place you saw it actually can affect your health because of those viruses that lurks around.
Or you could just take a dump in the woods geez
It's so interesting what you said about the fact that many people end up dying from fake Chinese bear and such. I've actually lost two good friends that have gone to China to teach English and literally within the first week of being there, they both died due to some form of intoxicative consumption. This was on two very separate occasions (several years apart) and they didn't know each other at all. It just seemed strange to me that both my friends who chose to go there died of similar causes and in similar ways. Poignant stuff.
Anyway, I believe this is my first comment on your videos, so let me make a quick introduction. I'm also from South Africa - Johannesburg to be exact, and also have a keen interest in all things asian as well as motorcycling. So naturally your channels piqued my interest on various levels and I've been following them both for quite some time now.
I think the work you do is terrific and immensely inspiring as well as objective.
I wish you all the best for your journey to Northern China, which I'm following closely, and want to encourage you to keep at it, even in spite of the recent difficulties you've been experiencing with Chinese authorities and society in general.
Keep up the good work!!
I drop my phone dying in tears when u showed the knock off of the gas station Lmao
That restroom gave me flashbacks of my first trip to China in 1985. I was part of a school group and part of the trip was to remote areas in western China. That restroom was similar to the public restrooms in those remote areas, but there was no water at all even to wash one's hands. There was forget about any sort of flushing.
I was in Moscow in the 1990's and the toilets were as bad.
One of the reasons why my Great Grandparents left China. Corruption is deeply rooted in the Government. Money/Profit out weighs Human Lives.
My friends parents came to the USA for asylum for similar reasons, they're in their 80's now.
When government is crazy, people are as well
Rule 34.5: If it exists, there is Chinese clone of it - no exceptions
You mean they have clone Chinese ladies??
Yes Sure I would like to get a clone Kylie Jenner!! or two 😂
dis a good rule
ElementEvil no, no, no, it's rule 43!

thats not a bathroom, thats a dungeon
Toilet would scare alien from outer space
Thanks for pushing ahead making these videos in spite of the criticism. They are highly useful and informative for those of us who spend time China. I wish there was some type of journalism award you could win for making these.
Note:
He really loves China, trying to help, so don't give him a hard time.
Really they don't wash their toilets
I still can’t understand why people would want to live there when you can have a chance to live anywhere else that isn’t communist.
It's not comunist Macdonald's, Walmart, apple, HSBC and extra are all operating there.
A Sherif China is very communist my friend look it up
@@bboichirok661 I have and it's not the personal accumulation of wealth is not the goal of comunism.
Please know more about china. It has been a buisiness degrading china on youtube and other media. If you truly wonder why, watch some unbiased videos about china.
China still follows their version of communism, but it’s really more like poorly regulated socialism. They embody a lot of the aspects of communism in practice that make it unappealing while incorporating elements of capitalism because it was necessary to enrich the country and perpetuate the system. The Soviet Union did a similar thing under Gorbachev, but they also gave more political freedom, eventually leading to revolution. China showed with the Tiananmen Square massacre that they wouldn’t allow that to happen. The people have to remain apolitical unless they’re venerating the government. They can’t call out the bribing of inspectors and other regulators to keep unsafe food products and medicines from being discontinued. That’s why they’re in this situation.
Wow, I knew China was good at making knock offs but didn't know the situation was that bad! I'll be sure to buy my beer, and other consumables, only from big name stores when I travel to China in the future. Thanks for the heads up, Winston!
As for me, I would like to say he shows a real China that has good sides and bad sides. China is not the heaven, nor the hell. There's a lot we could do better.
he is from south Africa! I am wondering how good South Africa is, compared to China.
allen thompson Who told you CPT is a white enclave? Go look at the stats buddy. Yes whites are being replaced because that's a good thing.
Geda Lone ranger
Whites being replaced is a good thing? Lol. Why?
+Hugo Lindum Because he's a racist idiot who enjoys African style crime, corrupt govt., black outs, detoriating transit systems, water sanctions and the coming drought and famine, because they are too stupid and too racist to learn from the fall of Rhodesia.
The more I run into your videos and give a look I find myself watching the whole thing through..and at the end I feel so sad and bewildered ....I feel so terrible for the Chinese people and I blame their government for every last misery that they go through..then I find the need to pray for them,., the best celebration for the Chinese people is coming when they finally will be free of that vicious un awesome government the CCP...may God bless them, protect them and change their hearts in Jesus Mighty name.
Too bad sky daddy is fake as well
The situation of the toilet blew me away. Also, the footage of the fake drink factory stunned me.
Great video, the footage of people making counterfeit products is eye-opening.
yea, but is the bathroom in the knock off uSmile an accurate reproduction?
Oh yeah! Accurate as hell. If it's a fake gas station it's probably not connected to any sewage system as well. Therefore you just have an out house style slit or drop toilet that may or may not ever be pumped out. Fricken disgusting if you ever run into one. Again it is all about the money. You make money selling gas; no money is made allowing people to sh*t in your toilet. The filth also discourages people from using the toilet as well.
from what i herd, stuff like that is common everywhere in china
China the "next superpower"😂😂😂 what a poor, shitty, immoral nation lol
as if morals have anything to do with economic power
Something that bad is not common at all lol. 1st tier cities are generally alright unless you have a problem with squatting toilets. It gets much worse in 3rd tier cities. Those are the "developing" parts of China. I saw stuff like that in Malaysia about 5 to 10 years ago, depending on which part of Malaysia we are talking about.
Your footage of the toilet in China reminds me of the Toilets in Iran's premier airport, Tehran Mehr Abad. You could smell it from many meters away. I seem to have approached from upwind, and as I turned the corner to go in the stench hit me so violently I actually Gagged and pretty much ran away to save myself from vomiting on my shoes and worst.
All of these places LOVE to portray themselves as modern and civilized, reality is something else entirely.
Iran is a backwards shithole what modern and civilized.
Your video toilets are clean compared to dee Mexican ones. Being Mexican-American, I am not proud of this., just trying to be fair. Maybe it be the diets... falafel cannot beat chicarrones and pozole. No way!
Dis be where America is headed when Democraps take over.
Biden be 20% ahead of Trump in dee polls. Be afraid, very afraid.
VOTE ALL DEMOCRAPS OUT OF OFFICE WHEREVER THEY LURK!
@stefan matvei swietoniowski i know especially iran,iraq had the most beautiful cities in the east back then
Great news and good tips ...I am glad that you are in US now...good luck and good health with you and your family !✌️👍🏻
like it when says shut up to the driver. best part
I have been to China, South Korea, and Japan. Comparing the three countries I can say without a doubt that I will never go back to China ever again. It really was the worst experience in my life. The people are rude, dirty, arrogant, and so self centered. South Korea and Japan on the other hand I started going back to those countries regularly. Especially Japan, it was a complete 180 from China. The people were polite and mindful of others, also they would go out of their way to help me for directions.
Aor help without ulterior motives as well. chinese will help but not without some motive
I absolutely agree. I've never been to Japan but I stayed at Beijing and Seoul and I must say I will never go back to china. I've been pick pocketed, scammed, and yelled at just for asking for directions. AND I HADN'T EVEN LEFT THE AIRPORT! But man korea was great. It helped that the language in Korea was easy to learn to read and speak as well so that was a definite plus. As for chinesr..very difficult to have learned before going. I want to go to Japan next. I've heard great things.
I lived in Japan for years when my dad was in the Navy, I fucking love Japan and the people... and the food, my god
Well, I grow up China now a US citizen, sadly, I must say it is true. But if you know a little more about Chinese history, you will not be suprised why China turns into a shxt hole. Anyways, I feels so ashemed and embarrassed, few hundreds years ago, Japanese people learns all these good cultures from China, even part of the language, and Korean used to be a affiliated state of China. And look at them,they doing great now, and you look back to China..... Sigh..... a shxthole with full of scammers and liers. Again, very ashemed and embarrassed.
One should not compare China with others especially Japan and South Korea the simple reason is
JAN and S Korea have much less population and have been capitalism for many decades.... China has its big population plus so much to develop from hygiene to social security and so on. It can appear that some modern provinces such as Shangai, Beijing, Canton, Fujian etc. Also lots of modern clothes, many new cars and super rich leaders and landlords, so forth. But this is only a small portion of people. 3/4 people are struggling to live up a decent life. The gap of the poor and rich is too wide ! @
Another very well constructed video. Thank you Winston..
I held my breath unintentionally when he stepped in the gas station bathroom
Even if you can't avoid buying items Made In China, try to avoid cookware and packaged food.
Stevia Sugar especially canned food
I do eat China packaged food because they are some food only Chna produce that I consume.
Ken H no test is done? that is a straight rumor.
The Chinese were worried when UK checked meat and discovered that there was a lot of horse meat being passed off as beef from EU countries. Luckily for China no one thought to check for dog meat so Uk continues to happily eat those imports. When you can save 50p a kg, people are happy to eat any meat if they think it saves them money.
Stevia Sugar Also avoid electronics. A friend's dad got an USB stick that was supposed to be 60gb, it was a 1gb stick that just had bios forged to look and register as a 60gb. Also they just blatantly sell the shittiest led lights etc. as high end UV lights.
In other words, if you buy chinese, always make sure you have a guaranteed way to get your money back that does not involve the seller, and never take the word of the seller.
Thank you for posting this, it helps more then you think!

This must be where last wish order came from. I ordered some cheap but cute rings and bracelets. They sent me an empty shipping package.
😂😂😂
Well you can ask for refund or return or make a complaint to the Taobao. They will sort it out. I’ve been using taobao for like 5 years. I returned or get refund sometimes simply because I don’t like the things I bought. That’s easy.
sewers are cleaner than that toilet, holy cow
I've been watching you for a couple of months now. I've learned more from you than I ever thought I would in a lifetime! Btw it's cool that you read comments from your very previous videos! Stay Awesome!
If China diverted 1% of its annual military expenditures to creating a health and safety enforcement department, all the counterfeits would stop.
pizzafrenzyman no there are way too many people... nearly 1.4billion. 1% wont be enough... and tbh it’s their natural instinct to bad things. Like India has nearly the same condition but poorer, but still doesn’t make as much fake stuff as China.
It will never stop. They are Chinese.
I talked to enough Chinese about problems in China and most of them said the same "The 90% Chinese can suffer if it make it better to 10% and to the country as a whole". I then told them what if you later become that 90% and they said it will never happens. The lack of compassion and lack of foresight for most Chinese are real problem and the main cause of it.
Same for the US, Russia or India.
But they have a much better justification for the military expenses than the country that is the reason for them.
Look at the USA's military budget and then take all the followup-ranking countries until they match that, and you see who the USA is at war with.
It is a serious problem. And we believe the situation will be better. And we hope it don't takes so long
It will, once China becomes developed.
"hence the blue sky", damn.
Thanks for real China scenes! You're awesome 👌
If the bathrooms are that neglected, do you really think they take better care of their fuel storage tanks?
There must be a significant amount of contamination (ground water) that gets into the storage tanks.
Melamine (toxic to kidneys) has been used often to artificially boost protein values in baby formula, pet food and other products for consumption. Melamine is cheaper.
I lol'd IRL at that bathroom. I've never seen anything that horrible here in GZ. It makes me think how sheltered foreigners can be living in China if you've never left the nice areas. The fact that no one has complained and had it cleaned is hilarious. Stay safe you guys~
I've seen some dirty fuel stops here in the US, however, the Chinese take the cake!
1:13 yep we found em, the corona source
That thumbnail got us all tho.
should have been called "uSlime" haha
I'm dead
D*mn you, I was eating while you showed that bathroom !
You could have given a warning :)
@Johan Couder Sorry, life often doesn't warn you, but life does show you the aftermath. For example, let me tell you that actually the Chinese restaurants you have ever tired, their kitchens are all looking like this toilet.
Damn... I laughed so hard at that :-D
No wonder there has been a surger of cheap Heineken here in Kenya
The bathroom looks so scary omg! This is a horror film itself
I hope we see cmilk revisit some of his Inner Mongolia stories while you're there
visit the ancient wall of china that crumbled, homeless people living in caves and watch c-milk dig up more graves?
Loved the bridge with the horses on top in Mongolia!
Lol even his license plate is a knock off
I want to thank you for enlighting my mind and better understanding
This problem is not in China only anymore. they spreading across Asia now. really worrying us in Malaysia.
yeah. especially milk powder for baby. death happened too. authorities already took action. no issue until now, but sure it worries parents until now.

trying to hit women on youtube comments, fucking pathetic
What's wrong with complimenting a pretty woman or sexy guy... geez
Your channel deserves so much more attention
I ate out 3 times in China and got food poisoning every time
Me too
That bathroom was horrible. They need to use a pressure washer, and blast the POOP AWAY. LMAO. Eww!!! Ca Ca!!! Ja! Ja! Ja!
A pressure washer would make quick work of it... but you'd need to wear full body protection because you don't want that shit splashing back on you!
sounds like just avoid China nowdays
If you want to avoid a country just because there is some assholes living in it, where can you live ?
@@pedrodeo4099 it's not just some assholes living in a tiny secluded community, theyre making products that can give anyone in the country cancer
fucking horrible
Pedro deo he still got like hundreds of countries to live
@@pedrodeo4099 there government does not care about thos and its everywhere not all countrys are like china
Winona Daphne u pay what u get !
"A very popular brand of gas sta.... shut up" Hahahah that was funny!
your videos are brilliant, just found them! :)
Here in Sweden I see Chinese people in one of the supermarkets I go to. And one thing they buy a lot of is milk powder. Not for consumption, they box it up and mail it to China. I assume they are students since there's student housing close buy. According to friend of mine, boxing up milk powder and mail it, started just after the milk powder incident in China.
Yeap
Ola H Proof of the distrust of Chinese people for their own country's products.
Ola H I would not be supprised they can sell it to rich people for tons of money.
People do it in Australia too. Send milk powder in bulk to China, where the locals pay top dollar for imported product because they don't trust the local supply.
People may look at these videos and think they're unfair or even racist, painting Chinese products with a broad brush of being counterfeits and ripoffs, but unfortunately the local Chinese population in China doesn't trust Chinese products either.
no need to look to europe country , try take a look at the nearest neighbour Hong Kong, chinese people come and go buying all milk powder and baby formula to be sold in china
All the wordings in Inner Mongolia are written in two languages, simply Chinese Mongolian.
And the characters really look like BBQ sticks!!
We just went to the desert and grassland last month and I am also doing some vlogging about our trips in China, get a lot of inspiration from you.
Stay awesome 你真棒 haha...
+Colan Chen haha cool!
@ Winston, Someone just reported to me that some clips in this videos ( the ones showing fake product manufacture lines ) are cropped version taken from Chinese media. The original version is how the Chinese law enforcement crashing down these workshops. Winston, can you explain why you have to wipe off the parts that showing how the police crashing down these workshops?
Usmile > Uemlis?
HAHAHAHAHAHA!
Good thing I always drink plenty of... MALK?
That bathroom was a disease incubator. Very gross. You are very good at explaining. 🌹
Unfortunately India is moving in the same direction
Widespread corruption is the common problem in the two countries.
Maha K no India is already there, at least in China they don’t shit in the streets
Maha K it's the people not the governments the people have become far worse so you get tyrant ruling.... nothing new ...if people have good values they would have good rulers it's that simple.
I feel bad for y'all. When I went to India I had a pretty fun time there (it was because of work) (and I'm American). The people over there are pretty nice. China, on the other hand, is not. I'm staying as far away from that country as I can.
Jeremy Mcgee I'd prefer shitting on streets than poisoning my fellow people selling fakes.
people who disliked this video are the one who makes or sells these knock-offs
1:27 There's a Chinese dude inside the toilet hole playing on his tablet
Not sure why, but I am hooked on these videos.
Well, I picked a great video to watch while eating breakfast. Glad I have a fairly strong stomach.
Well, I supposed they just hold a mirror in front of any legit brand names and that then will be adopted for their own brand name?
With a twisted names from other established brands doesn't establish any brand of which it is the main objective of business anyway, they should have a culture of establishing names with originality like Haier, Huawei and so on, if this two can make it then the culture of plagiarizing others should stop because if China can make quality fakes what is the point of keeping that kind of bad marketing practice ? Why not just use own brand?
I know that but such understanding is more relevant if one is from a smaller country but China already got the knowhow and the market and then there has be a starting point towards something new including to branch off from such plagiarizing mindset and mega advertising has not been used by some now established China brands like Huawei, ZTE or Haier as some of these China companies showed that starting as online brand before getting into mainstream as Huawei does, a lot of excuses can be accepted during the earliy stage of China rising but now the country do have what it take to do things better so I think if they continue the names copying culture that would be the real end for further opportunities as some other Asian emerging economies like Vietnam or Indonesia might reach a state of repute one day
Lassi Kinnunen adimas, naik, neki, pamu, whatever
I just found your Channel and i binge watch your videos like crazy. Love your content :-) BTW you look like Alex Karev from Grey's Anatomy
thank you for making this video
"money is god", sad but true. I saw an interview with a very young chinese lady working a less than ethical but fantastically well-paid job. She got tips as high as 30k. When she was asked if she would quit the job once she had earned enough money, she at once answered decisively, "you can never have enough money!"
depressing.
title of video?
Its so weird because Aliexpress and Alibaba have banned fake items. I bought some Vans shoes from there and they were 100% legit.
They never recommend cool fake dicks to me!
They have banned fake items... And you believe they are able to control this? 🤣
Many fakes are so good they are not that easy to recognize and when they get cought sellers have a dozen alternative accounts.
Do you think they would be able to stop YOU, if you wanted to sell fakes there?
Lol don't believe them. Obviously everything there is fake. There are better quality replicas like the guy above me said. You can only get official Vans shoes in reputable stores.
Even the gas station seems to be a knock off of a Shell gas station in the US
Love how you tell noise off ! Love your videos
China is a developing country，we have too many problems，keep going，stay awsome！
Lack of water.
lack of air even lol
farming prisoners organs etc just the casual stuff
It would be nice if developing countries learnt from the mistakes other countries made, but they continue to follow the same route and have the same problems, and they continue to think they can do it better. Using communism as a basis for political control is one example, or trying to fix prices in shops to stop inflation, or devaluing the countries currency to solve inflation problems. The greatest lesson from history is that most ignore its lessons...
Neil Doerdan We Chinese have learnt that we should be a capitalism country, isn't that nice?
The thing I don't understand is how they try so hard to knockoff all these brands but then have to switch the letters to something slightly different? Why not go all the way? You mentioned before that knocking off isn't illegal in China, so why not put the actual name of a brand up instead of something close to it?
It is illegal to have the exact same name
It looks as though they did use the actual name on the fake Heineken.
I've been watching your videos randomly. Great stuff!
Back in 1986 I bought a bottled soda in Kunming and after starting to drink it it tasted really weird. I got very sick that night. Today I still believe that someone had collected empty soda bottles, refilled them with their own concoction of water, sugar, flavoring, and fizz and sold them on the street. Rumors were that the water could have come from any unsafe source and the fizz may have been created by an Alka-Seltzer like tablet.
Seems a few Chinese need to be reminded of their Confucian roots. Old Chinese proverb:
*_"If in the way of riches, do not use improper means to possess them: if in the way of misfortune, do not use improper means to avoid it"_*
In the miso soup they don't believe in him because he wasn't a Maoist communist if the figure goes against the state then they censor the shit out of it.
Tsingtao beer is the best because It's from German settlers :D I was in Shanghai two times and that's my suggestion ;)
My favorite gas station : "you shut up!"
Very real and honest presentation... I have been deceived at least 20 times with goods from China... Vendors on ebay often advertise that they are American and the items are in stock... but then they take my money and then order from China. The items take over 2 months to receive and they are often fraudulent. For instance, I bought a water proof camera that was only a plastic shell... I bought a computer memory stick that was blank... I bought a kitchen appliance and the handle immediately broke off... I bought a winter jacket that had no insulation... I bought a shirt that was a factory second with one sleeve sown shut... I bought several items that I never received and then the seller disappeared from ebay and then simply opened another account... I bought hiking boots that were several sizes too small, as well as at least 10 other pieces of clothing that were several sizes too small. Some of the Chinese sellers place ads on the internet pretending to be American companies, but they take my money and then order from China. Here are just a couple of examples: Solara and AnnieCloth designer women's clothing, and MyGeniusGift that sells gadgets... I know that many of the Chinese are not like that... but far too many are swindlers. Which causes me to not want to buy anything from China again...
