Thank you very much for this episode. It seems that the metro stations of Beijing are pretty old when compared to those of Shanghai, Shenzhen and other cities of China. But these stations are still very tidy, at least you don't feel unsafe.
Yes, but only the lower numbers… I live here and lines 4-19 are MUCH newer looking. 1-2 are definitely old school. Yet I thought it was funny that Seoul’s look older than all of them when I visited there recently 😅.

NY governor just sent national guard to NY metro randomly check people bag for weapons. Not sure how they select who to check, can be viewed as discrimination, and don’t know sustainable it is. I live in LA, we have a pretty new metro, I took twice, first time I was disgusted by the human waste smell in the walkway, the second time got harassed by a stranger on the train while a police was standing a few feet from me; that was my last time riding LA public transportation. I take Shanghai metro when I visit the city and feel safe, the only complain is huge number of people rushing on and off the train, a bit hard for tourist to take time to figure out which way to go. However, not as nervous as Paris metro where I have to watch out for pick pocket or they just rob you.
Pickpockets can hardly be found on the streets of China (including the subway). The CCTV system makes the risk of pickpockets committing crimes too high.
"In China, technologies like face scanning in the subway are seen as natural and useful by the people. They trust that the government will not misuse this technology. On the other hand, in the West, people are hesitant to accept such technologies as they fear that the government may use them against the people."
Yep, and they carry assault rifles and wears bullet proof jackets. If China did the same, it would have been all over the news labeling "Police state" "Oppression" or "Genocide"
1:06 the fact that you are doing the unboxing of an fairly high priced piece of equipment in the train speaks tons. You try to do that in a crowded NY subway train, specially now 😄
A lot of people from the west tend to be shocked and extremely surprised how modern, clean and safe it is in many cities of today's China due to how western media and politicians continue to portray China with prejudice and stereotype.
I was in NYC last summer and my partner and I couldn't get over how incredibly nasty the metro was. It was appalling.NY subway: it's often unreliable, it's dirty, there's lots of confusing maintenance scheduling, it's hot, it's smelly.BUT it's also weird, entertaining, bizarre, energetic, diverse, and it runs 24hrs a day. There's tons of room for improvement and it severly lags behind cleanliness and reliability of cities in Europe and Asia, but it has more personality and (charm?). It's also almost 120 years old, whereas some of the best metro systems in China (for example) are brand spanking new. Western democracies like the US or UK are short-term profit driven.If there is no money to be made or the money could be invested better elsewhere to bring a faster or higher return it will never go into the large public transportation system.

Many people don't understand China. In fact, Chinese people also talk about democracy. However, China's democracy is different from Western countries. The core spirit of democracy in Western countries is that the people make the decision. Chinese democracy emphasizes that the people are the first, that is, the people are the most important. The so-called autocracy that has long been criticized by the West is also a responsible system. Its most important spirit is that a group of professionally trained and professional people are responsible for managing the country. This is like if you have extra money that needs to be invested. , I am convinced that you will hand over your money to professional financial managers instead of a group of clowns who know nothing. National management cannot be done by people who only know political games and slogans. In my opinion, Come on, the so-called one-person-one-vote electoral system is to leave the future of the country to the people to elect a group of clowns to lead the country to destruction. You may not agree with my opinion, but after seeing these leaders in Western countries, you may want to think about it. The Chinese have had this people-centered idea thousands of years ago. Mencius (372 BC - 289 BC), an ancient Chinese thinker, proposed that "the people are the most important, the country is second, and the king is the least." ” ideological culture. The overall idea comes from the explanation in Section 14 of "Mencius: Chapter 2 Heart": the people come first, the country comes second, and the king comes last. This is because a country must be built by the people, and a country must be built by the people. To have a country, there must be a "king". Without the people, the country, society, and monarch will cease to exist, so the people are the most important. Of course, I am not saying that China’s system is perfect. I think China’s system certainly has shortcomings, but I also believe that with the wisdom of the Chinese people, it will get better and better in the future. The Chinese people have the ability to create a better system. With the future. 很多人不了解中國，其實中國人也講民主，但中國的民主不同於西方國家，西方國家的民主核心精神是人民做主，中國人的民主講究的是人民為主，也就是人民最重要。而長期以來被西方詬病的所謂專制，也是一種負責任的體制，其最重要的精神是，由一群受過專業訓練且專業的人來負責管理國家，這就像如果你有多餘的錢需要投資，我確信你會把錢交給專業財經經理人管理，而不是由一群啥都不懂的小丑來幫你管理，國家管理不能是由只會政治遊戲跟喊口號的人來做，就我看來，所謂一人一票的選舉制度就是把國家未來交給人民去選出一群小丑來帶領國家走上滅亡。你可以不認同的我的看法，但看過現在那些遵循西方國家民主制度，經由選舉選出的這些領導人後，你可能要思考一下我的意見。 中國人早在幾千年前就有這種人民為主的思想，孟子（公元前372年-公元前289年）這位中國古代思想家就提出了「民為貴，社稷次之，君為輕」的思想文化。 整體想法來自《孟子‧第二章心》第十四節的解釋：民為先，國為次，君為末。 這是因為，有人民才能立國， 有了國家，才必須有一個「君主」。 沒有人民，國家、社會、君主就不復存在，所以人民才是最重要的。 當然，我並不是說中國的制度是完美無缺點的，我認為中國的制度當然有缺點，但是我也相信以中國人的智慧，將來會越來越好，中國人有能力開創更好的制度跟未來。
@1208rabbit I don't give a xxxx whether you believe me or not. I left China in 2023, there are hardly any foreigners there anymore anyway. You think you can spread your nonsense unhindered here on Western media and give people a false impression. Unlucky you In recent years, I have seen China change from the blessed Hu Jintao era to Xi Jinping and Zero Covid. I know that many Chinese people are absolutely dissatisfied with the current situation; I have spoken to them every day. What a little pinky thinks is irrelevant.
You my friend are spot on. People in Asian countries that inherited the colonial systems have been lulled into a false sense of personal liberties by democracy which is a thin veil for autocracy and plutocracy. It's always the wealthy and the corrupt that manage their way into the power echelons to decide the fates of their nations. And they get away with their vile designs because they are protected by the veil of democracy.
Went back the UK last month and popped down to see a friend in London. My god, changing trains on the Tube felt like an adventure in itself. Had to drag my suitcase up and down stairs and through a labyrinth of tunnels. No lifts on a lot of platforms and no mobile data so I couldn't even check which way I should be going. And there was virtually no ventilation neither. It's actually a lot of fun and some what novel to begin with but I can't imagine doing that on everyday commute to and from work! On the day I was leaving, there were delays on the brand new Elizabeth Line. I mean Jesus Christ! How! The historic lines, I can understand but how could there be signal fault on something that been recently built? There were no estimate to how long the delay was neither. It was a miracle I managed to catch my flight in the end.
I recently took the Elizabeth line, and one thing I must complain was the noise inside the train when it was moving. It has extremely loud screeching noise which is very uncomfortable to ears and very annoying.
Mate, good luck with that! I am sure it will be great fun to meet up with your mates and see the place with a fresh pair of eyes. Honestly, the architecture and landscape are actually pretty stunning and it's something I took for granted when I grew up there. Don't overstay though. I reckon the sweet spot is less than 2 weeks. The nostalgia will overpower the annoyance at the beginning but the all the little things will start to gnaw at you, then the price of everything will bites. I actually just took my Expat gf from Hong Kong to Shenzhen for a meal last night. It been 7 years since she last went and she was blown away by the size, cleanliness of the place. Even the way the people behaved was a shock for her. :D@@Harveyinchina
Well your opinion is shite. London Underground is great. Not as good but great. Anyway who cares. All subways are horrific during peak times, especially China.
i've only been to Manhattan once, that that was many many years before the current homelessness crisis. even then when things were not as bad as they are now, i wasn't impressed. even then a lot of places looked junky to me.
When showing different scenes between China and the US, it will not be so confusing if you can put a China or US word on it so as to identify the country..
Hi Harvey - being Irish and living in Manchester U.K. for 22 years myself, I often wonder about the possibility of this translation device to help me learn my native Irish Gaelic language, especially in certain parts of the West of Ireland known as the Gaeltacht, where they exclusively speak Irish Gaelic - this device could be a very nice present for Saint Patrick’s Day on March 17th too 🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪❤️❤️❤️❤️
07:02 It's telling, as the train pulled into the open platform, everybody has had their backs to the wall. These people are trained to be on their guard for a reason.
You can't go pass a clean efficient and safe train and train station! The barriers that prevent people from getting pushed or falling onto the tracks is so important, wish western countries implemented this in their stations
NYC subway needs screen doors most, because passengers are often pushed off the platform. But obviously, no one has invested in this unprofitable project.
Me too and survived walking home at that time in Brooklyn. Only once did I do that. Kept having to move from one side of the street to the other to avoid potential muggers partially concealed in the alleys and unlit areas. Was nervous all the way home.
9:11 Harvey, I agree with your points about safety on the Tube - the last time that I was on the London Underground was on 25th June 2002 coming in off a flight from Dublin, from Heathrow to Piccadilly Circus and travelling alone late at night, I was absolutely terrified, as an Irish gay man - to top it all off, it was my first time in London, so I had no idea where I was going in Central London and I found the ticket station staff at Heathrow Tube incredibly aggressive and rude - the next morning, I was trying to find Euston Station for the train to Manchester and I found the station staff incredibly arrogant, aggressive and rude, having spent a night in Balan’s Coffee Shop in Soho - I got lost underneath Big Ben at the stroke of Midnight (those bells terrified the living daylights out of me) and halfway down The Mall - so I would never recommend going around London on your own, as all I had was an outdated copy of Spartacus Gay Guide with me, as I’d been trying to discover gay London
Harvey, in relation to the Chinese railways, I am most impressed - I use SailRail all the time to get from Manchester to Dublin via Chester and Holyhead and I see many ways in which the Chinese could help us to improve our railways - for years, the shelving of a high speed rail tunnel from Holyhead under the Irish Sea to Dublin has been a major issue, but since the failure of HS2, the only way that I can see this happening is if the CCP were given direct and complete control of the U.K.’s railways
China turned down the British government's invitation for the railway project. The long-term hostility of the UK government has made China enterprises feel that their investment is full of risks.
Welcome back to the wild wild west! Feels like travelling back in time, don't it?... Never experienced the London subway but during my first visit to the Big Apple in 2001, I had to schedule the subway travel times for personal safety.
No. Leaving the main hubs in China feels like that. West is incredible. Futuristic is nice for kids. Face recognition is creepy. Slippery slope. Shame all the old neighbourhoods are, and have been getting bulldozed down. We prefer class, style. Saudi Arabia, UAE , China. They love the futuristic.
The subway in Helsinki and its surroundings is OK, no problem. Pretty new, of course. And the population here is small(ish), 5.5 million in the whole country. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helsinki_Metro But I would genuinely like to visit China. Maybe I will one day.
So you know what is fun, write down all the things you hear in the news about China and do a checklist to see if it is true or false. First-hand experience is always the best deciding factor in forming an opinion.
Living in Houston, the #4 city in the USA. We have no subways at all. 3 light-rail (above ground, stop by traffic lights) lines with very low ridership, because it goes nowhere normal people want to go.
That is because China is an authoritarian country, the government has the authority to pour money into public resources without the politicians disrupting. You will find many public resources are for free or at a very low rate, such as museums, public transportation, park exercise facilities, and so on, all of these benefit from the mass investment from the government.
Soon American gonna come trolling your VDO. Calling you chills or something. Attacking China is in fashion these days. Been to China myself years ago for biz. Not very impressed with the place. Cheap food. Cheap goods. Zhite rent. So I made my deal and came back. Fell for American propaganda years ago and didn't continue my sourcing contract there. The contract ended in fearking 2019, yes, that year before the lock down coming in just months. Dodged the bullet big time. Haven't been back since. Probably never. The country is ok, in my view, but there are other places that will not be as heavyhanded, and still provide clean infrastructure. So, hope you have fun there.

@@erigerontriteleiabetter before even though stats say differently. New York was better when they had 2500 yearly murders in the 80s. Now only 300. Full of character. Character doesn’t bother you guys. Trains, safety and cleanliness are your major points. Sound like fun people .
@@JohnSmith-sm7ez I don't get why we should make statistics of murders in a subway. Shouldn't we talk abt something like cleanliness and safety when coming to indicators of infrastructures like subway? Since where should the statistics of murders be used to evaluate a subway or any infrastructure?

Also, been to NYC once and I really understand why that movie Tom Cruise is in when he asked if someone would notice a dead man in NY subway. It smells too.

I can rant about western bs for days, but I'll spare you the rest. Some might think I'm a Wumao if I'm being too fair about it.
America built trains in year 1905 and we went to planes in 1909 as they are faster/safer the subways we have left are mostly for poor people to use. we have over 5,000 airports in USA and china a poorer country has 259 airports so they build trains because they are cheaper but they are indebt over 1 trillion from building trains
Ah yes airplanes, the cheap, energy and space efficient form of transport that millions of people should use for their daily travelling needs including going to work
5000 airports but most are rotten one 😅😅. China airports many times more modern than in US 😅 Come to China you will know Chinese poor or not.😅 China highways many times better than in US 😅

I actually just took my Expat gf from Hong Kong to Shenzhen for a meal last night. It been 7 years since she last went and she was blown away by the size, cleanliness of the place. Even the way the people behaved was a shock for her. :D@@Harveyinchina
Yeah, man! I noticed that too! I mean the Elizabeth was a good upgrade compare to the existing lines but it doesn't feel new. @@andrewzhang985
Indeed. I had experienced all the three subways myself and I totally agreed with what you opined. 👌👍🏻👏🏻
Well your opinion is shite. London Underground is great. Not as good but great. Anyway who cares. All subways are horrific during peak times, especially China.
Injoy life. ❤🇨🇳
just what kind of sick country , would send soldiers and policemen to guard the subway
Yet they say China is authoritarian!
6:05 WTH? 😂😂
Nice video!!!!🇵🇭
I live in the hutongs! 🎉 Yay for mentioning it 😂
i've only been to Manhattan once, that that was many many years before the current homelessness crisis. even then when things were not as bad as they are now, i wasn't impressed. even then a lot of places looked junky to me.
6:05 speaks volume about the US democrazy. WTF
8:06 She's Your Girlfriend?
Probably is. They both look like a nice looking couple.
@@stayfree870 I want a girlfriend like that too 😊
When showing different scenes between China and the US, it will not be so confusing if you can put a China or US word on it so as to identify the country..
CHINA NUMBA WAN ! ! ! 💪 💪 💪 🇨🇳 🇨🇳 🇨🇳
Taipei and Bangkok also have modern, efficient rail transit.

Hi Harvey - being Irish and living in Manchester U.K. for 22 years myself, I often wonder about the possibility of this translation device to help me learn my native Irish Gaelic language, especially in certain parts of the West of Ireland known as the Gaeltacht, where they exclusively speak Irish Gaelic - this device could be a very nice present for Saint Patrick’s Day on March 17th too 🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪❤️❤️❤️❤️
8:06 好可爱 (ㅅ´ ˘ `)
👍👍👍
You should do a video of Russian subway, then compare all.
How about other infrastructure, toilets and water and sewage system etc?
Ignore this comment as this is a personal msg for someone
Good morning 🌄 i love you so much 🤎💜
07:02 It's telling, as the train pulled into the open platform, everybody has had their backs to the wall. These people are trained to be on their guard for a reason.
but you have the freedom to pee just everywhere you want in NYC subway.
They can. They just don't want the ordinary Joes and Janes to understand. It's called political propaganda.
Your girlfriend is beautiful 😁
You can't go pass a clean efficient and safe train and train station!
The barriers that prevent people from getting pushed or falling onto the tracks is so important, wish western countries implemented this in their stations
NYC subway needs screen doors most, because passengers are often pushed off the platform.
But obviously, no one has invested in this unprofitable project.
菜名应该翻译不好，很多是地方特色菜，我一个中国人都没听过。。
well, you haven't tried riding New York subway at 2am, it's really scary, I survived lol
Me too and survived walking home at that time in Brooklyn. Only once did I do that. Kept having to move from one side of the street to the other to avoid potential muggers partially concealed in the alleys and unlit areas. Was nervous all the way home.
@@bobsmith3983muggings are actually quite rare in New York. Day time is worse Your fear is pathetic, Too much RUclips or fear of black people.
I wouldn’t risk it personally
Would rather pay the $3000 taxi cab fare

9:11 Harvey, I agree with your points about safety on the Tube - the last time that I was on the London Underground was on 25th June 2002 coming in off a flight from Dublin, from Heathrow to Piccadilly Circus and travelling alone late at night, I was absolutely terrified, as an Irish gay man - to top it all off, it was my first time in London, so I had no idea where I was going in Central London and I found the ticket station staff at Heathrow Tube incredibly aggressive and rude - the next morning, I was trying to find Euston Station for the train to Manchester and I found the station staff incredibly arrogant, aggressive and rude, having spent a night in Balan’s Coffee Shop in Soho - I got lost underneath Big Ben at the stroke of Midnight (those bells terrified the living daylights out of me) and halfway down The Mall - so I would never recommend going around London on your own, as all I had was an outdated copy of Spartacus Gay Guide with me, as I’d been trying to discover gay London
Do you know that most serial murderers are g#y?
Harvey, in relation to the Chinese railways, I am most impressed - I use SailRail all the time to get from Manchester to Dublin via Chester and Holyhead and I see many ways in which the Chinese could help us to improve our railways - for years, the shelving of a high speed rail tunnel from Holyhead under the Irish Sea to Dublin has been a major issue, but since the failure of HS2, the only way that I can see this happening is if the CCP were given direct and complete control of the U.K.’s railways
China turned down the British government's invitation for the railway project.
The long-term hostility of the UK government has made China enterprises feel that their investment is full of risks.
Meanwhile America invests in war destroying other life😂
Or medical innovation to fight ….. from China. Greatest medical innovators and treatments in human history, Saving billions of lives .

Welcome back to the wild wild west! Feels like travelling back in time, don't it?...
Never experienced the London subway but during my first visit to the Big Apple in 2001, I had to schedule the subway travel times for personal safety.
No. Leaving the main hubs in China feels like that. West is incredible. Futuristic is nice for kids. Face recognition is creepy. Slippery slope. Shame all the old neighbourhoods are, and have been getting bulldozed down. We prefer class, style. Saudi Arabia, UAE , China. They love the futuristic.
Democracy is the life of the people .
Yesssss you vòotee
It's amazing what is possible within homogenous nations.
One of the most diverse countries globally.
The Han Chinese are the dominating race in China.Apart from them there 55 minorities races on China 🇨🇳
The subway in Helsinki and its surroundings is OK, no problem. Pretty new, of course. And the population here is small(ish), 5.5 million in the whole country. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helsinki_Metro
But I would genuinely like to visit China. Maybe I will one day.
I didn't know RUclips allows links from outside of RUclips.
So you know what is fun, write down all the things you hear in the news about China and do a checklist to see if it is true or false. First-hand experience is always the best deciding factor in forming an opinion.
Xinjiang until the early Qing Dynasty
Living in Houston, the #4 city in the USA. We have no subways at all. 3 light-rail (above ground, stop by traffic lights) lines with very low ridership, because it goes nowhere normal people want to go.
你们的国家也很好
A great video!
Thanks!

It is their humbleness that you feel safe
That is because China is an authoritarian country, the government has the authority to pour money into public resources without the politicians disrupting. You will find many public resources are for free or at a very low rate, such as museums, public transportation, park exercise facilities, and so on, all of these benefit from the mass investment from the government.
Lmfao, no, China is not an authoritarian country. It has the best government in the world putting the well being of the people as top priority.
China has a democentric government, not the U$A type politicians-centric-authoritarian government.

Soon American gonna come trolling your VDO. Calling you chills or something. Attacking China is in fashion these days.
Been to China myself years ago for biz. Not very impressed with the place. Cheap food. Cheap goods. Zhite rent. So I made my deal and came back. Fell for American propaganda years ago and didn't continue my sourcing contract there. The contract ended in fearking 2019, yes, that year before the lock down coming in just months. Dodged the bullet big time. Haven't been back since. Probably never. The country is ok, in my view, but there are other places that will not be as heavyhanded, and still provide clean infrastructure. So, hope you have fun there.
You cannot compare China from 10 years ago to now. A lot have changed, acc. to westerners who’ve been there before and now.
Attacking US is fashion these days. Way more small channels doing this with clickbait headlines. People actually couldn’t care less about China. All made up to spread division so channels can get more subscribers .
@@erigerontriteleiabetter before even though stats say differently. New York was better when they had 2500 yearly murders in the 80s. Now only 300. Full of character. Character doesn’t bother you guys. Trains, safety and cleanliness are your major points. Sound like fun people .
@@JohnSmith-sm7ez I don't get why we should make statistics of murders in a subway. Shouldn't we talk abt something like cleanliness and safety when coming to indicators of infrastructures like subway? Since where should the statistics of murders be used to evaluate a subway or any infrastructure?
@@vancat6232 my thought exactly. What kind of subway needs a murder stat? Also, been to NYC once and I really understand why that movie Tom Cruise is in when he asked if someone would notice a dead man in NY subway. It smells too.
I don't buy "westerners who had been there" rumor mill anymore. I was there myself. I saw the bad thing and good thing. That's where I base my view on. I can rant about western bs for days, but I'll spare you the rest. Some might think I'm a Wumao if I'm being too fair about it.
I remember China during Covid. I remember the scenes.
There is danger in China, you’ve just been lucky not to encounter it yet or because people are patient and tolerant
Western freedom is horrible 😢
Embarassing comment. So ignorant.
You are perfect for this channel.
Freedom in China is the real freedom.
Well, let him show the Chinese subway station from 1863 as London had it, let's compare.
China is 100 years late.
So what, what about now? You people like to live in the past?😏
America built trains in year 1905 and we went to planes in 1909 as they are faster/safer the subways we have left are mostly for poor people to use. we have over 5,000 airports in USA and china a poorer country has 259 airports so they build trains because they are cheaper but they are indebt over 1 trillion from building trains
Ah yes airplanes, the cheap, energy and space efficient form of transport that millions of people should use for their daily travelling needs including going to work
@@lumiukko6840 going to work we use cars/busses as trains are not safe in earthquakes/mud slides
5000 airports but most are rotten one 😅😅. China airports many times more modern than in US 😅
Come to China you will know Chinese poor or not.😅
China highways many times better than in US 😅
You are kind of absolutely right. Keep up with the time is also the truth.

They forgot to keep up with the time.
