I suggest you have a Chinese complain about the imperfections of their life personally. btw I am willing to share my perspectives as a Chinese student in high school.
You do know that China is controlled and run by the China Communist Party led by Xi Jinping who is an autocrat with a Central Committee of 12 sychophants who decide over the lives of a billion plus people who will never be allowed to live under any other regime except the CCP.
Nice video! You don't need to be positive all the time. Constructive criticism is always welcome because no country is perfect. And this balance makes people feel that you are more genuine in your positive message, instead of just being considered a shill. 👍
As a Chinese, I think the reason for not being able to make friends (even when the language barrier is aptly addressed) is that Chinese are typically more reserved, even more so when dealing with foreigners who can feel intimidating and unfamiliar to us. It's not that we hate foreigners and treat them worse than locals, it's that we need a bit more confidence to talk with foreigners than with ourselves. Of course, most of us do show ample courtesy if foreigners approach us, but we may need more encouragement to build close relationships with foreigners. If you are willing to invest time and mental effort into fostering a relationship with us, opening up more and being the ice breaker may help (I'm no expert in relationships but this at least it would work against me).
I am chinese, Lizzy, I like this video! I think it's really important to share this kind of informations and perceptions, China is a really different country from western countries, it is real important to have as more information as people can heve before to move to there! As I said, I am chinese, I really hope all foreigners can have great time/life in my country.
I appreciate your honesty. We still love you. This video gives people a more realistic view of what to expect as a foreigner in China. On the other hand, I don't think all the foreigners feel the same way.
Traveling to China during a national holiday is the worst idea, public transport would be so over crowded with people going back home, to different parts of China to celebrate with family etc, imagine 1.4 billion people, over a vast landmass, that is as big as America, traveling around the country. That's too many people. Too crowded. Work hours, is hard, compared to majority of western developed countries, Chinese are extremely hard workers, but then have no social life. Much like the drone workers in Japan. Not much work/life balance. I hope it improves though. Very interesting video Lizz 👍
First trip 2008 May. Chengdu to Changsha hard seat, 24 hours. 125 seats, (from memory) 165 people. Taking it in turns sitting, 4 to a seat made for 3. The real Chinese people.
@@RickBlaine It can get pretty busy, especially during National holidays, like crazy busy, like shoving people into cramped trains like Japan type busy. 😭
@@zhongguojiayou2675 Once in Beijing it took us 45 minutes to cross the road. There were so many people they closed the subway station and we had to walk to the next one. But we went to China to experience China. we were glad we had times like that!
Thailand🇹🇭 should go to CHINAA…..bring the entertainment with beaches🏝️🏖️ sea &sunsets in Phuket to Massages and entertainment like gay bars/ clubs in Bangkok and the FOOD‼️‼️ ALL these are chinese/ CHINA most **Fav.** Entertainment and Enjoyment. MORE Thais.🇹🇭🇹🇭 should go CHINA🇨🇳 Often to develop more &bring more of their entertainment &local culture &TRADITION to the whole CHINAA!!
I was in China for few months. The Over The Counter and doctor-prescribed medication are super. Effective and much, much better than those in the US. The packets you are talking about are the TCM medication. Most foreign tourists don't drink TCM medication. They go to hospital to consult doctor if they are not feeling well. Please be clear on this aspect. If you have depression, the Chinese doctor is correct, you should learn to think positive when issue happens. People in the west over rely on medication to quickly solve their issues and without medication they became hopeless, and suicidal. They developed a dependence problem. That's NOT good.
Totally agree with you. Chinese medicines (TCM) is based on herbs and natural ingredients. Western medicines may suppress symptoms, but they may NOT cure the root causes. This vlogger fails to understand the differences in CULTURES so she portrays Chinese beliefs and actions as wrong(?), just because they are different to hers. So typical of Western people to exaggerate focus on their depressions and taking antidepressants /painkillers for their mental pain.
I totally agree. Chinese medicines (TMC) are based on natural herbs. Western medicines may seem to cure the symptoms but they may not cure the root cause of the illness. This vlogger fails to understand the "bad" things she attributes to the Chinese people are actually just due to differences in CULTURE. These "bad " things about China are just her perception and generalisation. Does she realise that many of us think people in the West are too self absorbed, they cannot tolerate a tiny bit of inconvenience, instead they jump to conclusions and complain. They resort to painkillers and Anti-depressants for their tiny bit of stress and inconvenience. People in the Asia have to deal with making a living for themselves and their families. So we work really hard and tolerate inconvenience here and there. We prefer to "just get on with it". .. and this is what makes us mentally stronger.
Lizzy, thanks for your honesty that has come out in this video and others. It seems to me that most expats, as in other countries-- not just China, have a parallel space. This is why as a multilingual speaker it is fundamental to speak the language when living in a specific country..... you are so amazing! love your videos.
I've had discomfort under my right ribs for a year. I went to all the best hospitals and they all said there was nothing wrong with me. But I really felt uncomfortable, and I finally recovered after taking Chinese medicine. You know that year, I always felt like I was going to die.By the way, the safest way to give gifts in China is red envelopes.But you are a foreigner, and Chinese people will not be angry if you give pears or shoes to lovers. We have a saying: Don’t blame those who don’t know.
Just got back from China ( Guangzhou->Shanghai->Beijing->Chongqing). This is just my thoughts of one month in China and is not fair. These are just "my" thoughts. China is NOT perfect but it is the safest country on this planet, imo. People are kind and humble. The Architecture is modern/futuristic. The transportation public and private cars ( mostly EVs) are futuristic. The streets are clean. There a many many positive but here are my pet peeves: 1. Too many squat toilets 2. Smoking in plubic places 3. the spitting 4. For forgeingers, the "You want massage hint" 5. The silent EV mopeds zipping on pedestrian side walk.
Thank you for your objective evaluation. China is a developing country and people in the past did not receive higher education. We will gradually improve and work hard to change.
I agree with you all thought a part of one the toilet 90% of Chinese use the Chinese toilet not the western you can’t change billion of people just for you Westerners
No country is 100% prefect. But if you have been to China and see with your eyes, China has many good than bad compare to many countries in this world whereby the population is not even 10% or 20% of China. So, overall China is doing pretty well with such a huge population.
Agree on 2 and 3, for 1 Chinese people are used to squat toilet, so public toilet are mostly squat, if you hate them then go to a hotel or fancy malls where that is more used. 4 is like the same for everyone lol; 5 is that not every city is like Beijing where electric bicycle has their own lane, so in most cities it's common rule that they will use pedestrian lane, you just have to get used to it and listen the bell.
Edgar Cayce once said that eventually China would become “the cradle of Christianity, as applied in the lives of men.” And Cayce promised amazing changes in the country that would lead to more democracy and greater religious freedom. He also suggested that eventually the height of civilization would move from the West to the Chinese people: “And these will progress. For, civilization moves west.” What this man said 80 years ago are truly manifesting upon now in front of our very eyes.
LIZZY, welcome to China. 😊 YOU don't have to work hard coming to China. With all these living conveniences & public amenities provided to YOU, because YOU are privileged. The Chinese people, YOUR people, would do & work everything for YOU

Yes，people judge you there, I love my country，but really overwhelming when people come tell me what to do what not to all the time。i just wanted to be leave alone，that is one of the reason i moved aboard。 but i am always missing home，always planning move back when i retire。you have very honest ideas。
Much of us in Western countries have to improve our home countries to make them better than we were born in. Much of the issues described are also issues in the home countries of westerners. Much of the issues Liszt mentioned exist in my country which is the USA (“well, you don’t have universal health insurance but at least you don’t live in Afghanistan” which I struggled with insulin rationing). Westerners, if they wanna get China to be motivated to make even better changes, is to clean your closet at home - especially in Western Europe and North America, which are the regions who held back global and domestic development for a really long time.
Agree that there are also bad things in China, like all other countries/cities. There are also good guys and bad guys you may meet. However, that depends on whar aspect, right? To me, personal safety is the top. I won't go to visit places that might risk my life or being robbed. Compare to America and some EU cities, gun shoot, homeless, robery ,subway scared me. Unlike China, all agree that personal safty are good for most of the time.
You must know a lot about China before you make this decision, I dare say it is a very good idea, you must prefer security and order, yes, as long as you do not do anything illegal, China is a very good place, very free, if there is any difficulty, you can go to the police, Chinese police treat ordinary people very friendly, no violence, and very warm-hearted. Their jobs have their own code of conduct.
Here in Dali, my wife works seven days a week, and she never gets time off, yeah, we are renovating our house and the locals will just wander onto the property, just being nosey, the stares yes, can get a little irritating, if they look at me more than three times, I wave at them then they realise I see them and tend to stop, have to disagree on your comments about the woman, the ones I know are very strong-minded and not subservient - as a foreigner, they assume you are rich - ...but still love being here, clear, safe and very friendly, hope your mum has settled in okay...Peace
Can I say a few words, you are a foreigner in China, people are very curious when they see foreigners, for example, curious about what they do, for them, most of them have been surrounded by Chinese people almost their whole life, you know what I mean, they are very curious about things they have not seen, they want to know what a foreigner is like, Sometimes they may do things that foreigners do not like, such as watching, such as pointing, in addition, they will not do anything to hurt you, they are just curious about things they have not seen, if you want to do your own thing, not to be disturbed, it is OK, after a period of time, they will lose their curiosity and leave.
My GF was from Kunming and she always said that Kunming was like the bundus compared to Shanghai. I liked Shanghai and I am living in VN. I live not far from Kunming and can go there by train. Problem is the visa.
Hey Funny looking, just remember big G would hire individuals just to post negativity on your channel just to wear you out, and there also the joker. Your honesty is what good people want to hear, great stuff keep it up. 😊

Thank you so so much… I’ve been a scriber for quite a long time, and I have not replied very often, but do you have a very entertaining style and this was one of your best I just came back from Shanghai having a two month visit with a friend there so it’s no surprise to me all the things you said, but what a wonderful wonderful country.

No. 9 --- I'm a Chinese from Hong Kong. I also lived in Canada when I was young. The west like to share the "feeling" but the Chinese really don't. So when we talk about something private, it would mean we are looking for advice. And for that, if you are not looking for advice, but just what a good listener and let it out, don't talk to a chinese..may i suggest getting a pet...I heard they can be very good listeners...
Life in China isn't perfect. Life in ANY country isn't perfect (not even in Switzerland). I live in Canada and there's plenty to bitch about here. Still, life in China is pretty damn good. I feel jealous. The issue is not about the quality of life in China. The issue is about political ideology. China is not a liberal democracy. Western critics and bigots have a problem with that. If China were a liberal democracy, they couldn't bash China. Well, I suppose they could still bash China in the same way that they could bash Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines...any country whose culture is too different from their own. It boils down to _xenophobia._
No perfect country in the world , the place fitting yourself is the best , I like Chinese medical system, I used to got injured in China and then went to ED of hospital, which was so fast to get treatment, in my country you have to wait like fucking 7hours or more in ED … and food and groceries in China are cheaper and tasty .. but in my country every thing is expensive at the moment……. More and more ppl living in a tough life …………..
The thing that upset me about China was I looked at Australia without the rose-coloured glasses. Particularly the "China Bad" government and media. Almost everyone I tell about China will argue. You would think they were the ones that had been there.

Before you diss China, get in touch with your US embassy "special department". Otherwise your efforts will not earn you big money. Like this video. 🤣🤣🤣. Be smart, and earn big bucks.
Too much generalisation. All the "bad points" mentioned are also applicable to other countries ALL OVER the world. @13:40 People in Asian societies are too busy trying to earn a living, trying to do well financially for their family. This is why they do not have time to DWELL on mental problems. Unlike Western people with too much time and wealth, they dwell on their mental problems. They exaggerate on their problems of coping with life and work. They dwell on their WOKE culture. @13:16 Now, this point about Marriage, the Western concept of "LOVE" is based on Physical Attraction. This is why Divorce is easily the way out when this Physical Attraction is gone. Eastern concept of Marriage tends to emphasize on respect and duties to one's partner, emphasize on financial support and compatibility. Such marriages last because they are based on reality, not just physical attraction. **Other generalisation in the video, I leave them for foreign viewers themselves to research further.

身为中国人，我可以告诉你100条中国的不好，不要来中国的理由，但是我不会现在告诉你，为啥？请问你相信你自己国家的媒体吗？你相信cnn, bbc吗？你相信国际媒体上铺天盖地的各种抹黑中国，各种造谣歪曲吗? 在这种如此无耻的大背景下，Lizzy通过相反的但是真实的视频告诉世界一些不同的东西，有错吗？但凡是个正常人都知道没有完美，中国有个成语叫做“尺有所长，存有所短”，甚至中国的很多成语都是类似的，从两个完全不同的角度，甚至是完全冲突的角度描述事物的两面性，中国人也是尊重了解事物的两面性的。
不好的不用再说了，至少目前不用说了，那些大嘴巴的造谣媒体说的够多了，时间够长了。一个自媒体没必要做到面面俱到。还是那个逻辑，中国人认为，但凡一件事发生，一定有人支持有人反对，凡事都是两面性，国际的大牌媒体都被某些人掌控了，连最基本的客观都做不到，连不造谣这么基本的道德都做不到，凭什么要求一个自媒体那么完美?
I suggest you have a Chinese complain about the imperfections of their life personally. btw I am willing to share my perspectives as a Chinese student in high school.
You do know that China is controlled and run by the China Communist Party led by Xi Jinping who is an autocrat with a Central Committee of 12 sychophants who decide over the lives of a billion plus people who will never be allowed to live under any other regime except the CCP.
as a chinese-australian i have to say the internet often magnifies both the good and the bad about China.
Thanks for the “entertainment “ I had a good laugh as in the way you described it.
Btw, I have enjoyed your videos ❤
Nice video! You don't need to be positive all the time. Constructive criticism is always welcome because no country is perfect.
And this balance makes people feel that you are more genuine in your positive message, instead of just being considered a shill. 👍

不得不承认， 炸一听，你说的还真有那么一点点道理，从哪里听来的？你自己是中国人？美国人？欧洲人？我以前也听过类似的言论，那时候我还年轻，还容易被误导
1：你知不知道韩国，日本，甚至是现在的美国，很多普通人的生活压力也是非常大的？为了生活不得不拼命工作
2：你说的只是中国城市的部分情况，而且不是全部。中国的农民占绝大多数，农村生活是可忙可闲的，全看你自己的选择，最起码活下去问题不大，人们靠自己的双手能基本维持温饱。不像很多看上去非常发达的国家，到处都是流浪汉。在农村躺平很容易，但是中国人非常好强，都想过更好的日子，所以更努力，造成了比较内卷。这里并不想更多展开。
3：这个才是我真正要说的，你知道所谓的西方发达国家财富怎么来的吗？除了他们宣传的"文明"，“高科技”？
过去的两百年里，中国人没有全世界去抢夺，殖民，杀戮，没有把别人的文物抢回来放在自己的博物馆
中国人没有去非洲绑架贩卖黑奴到自己的领地
中国人没有贩卖鸦片去荼毒任何一个别的国家
中国人没有去轰炸伊拉克，利比亚，叙利亚，南联盟。。。。。。。。。。
中国人没有去偷石油，甚至偷叙利亚的小麦
中国人没有全世界发动战争，颠覆政权，到处搅屎，制造混乱，以此发各种不义之财
中国人勤勤恳恳的在自己的土地上耕种，在工厂里挥汗如雨，一代又一代人努力生活，用汗水，泪水，血水，让自己的生活越来越好，得到了什么？国际媒体除了各种抹黑造谣还做了点什么？

One reason I think you should add ... if you are a teen, make sure to avoid China at all costs, the Gaokao is crazy hard
Gaokao have been since ancient times !!!
Even in ancient times,
there were hundreds of million people in China !!
To enter the services of the government of that time,
one need to be a scholar & need to pass the Gaokao.
Today, it the same/similar.
With 1.4 billion population, the Gaokao is even more
difficult !!!
Because China' government-ship is based on
MERIT & not cronyism !!
This is why & how China
PROGRESSED to what it is today !!!

Westerners, if they wanna get China to be motivated to make even better changes, is to clean your closet at home - especially in Western Europe and North America, which are the regions who held back global and domestic development for a really long time.
A great video Lizzy 👍🔝
Great one, Lizzy.
what's nice about living in China, you know everything is made in China, and at least you don't have to go far to get what you want.😁
Agree that there are also bad things in China, like all other countries/cities.
There are also good guys and bad guys you may meet. However, that depends on whar aspect, right?
To me, personal safety is the top. I won't go to visit places that might risk my life or being robbed.
Compare to America and some EU cities, gun shoot, homeless, robery ,subway scared me. Unlike China, all agree that personal safty are good for most of the time.
Every countries not prefect in this world 🌎. Not only China 🇨🇳.
I live in the US, I am planning to go to China to retire ❤
You must know a lot about China before you make this decision, I dare say it is a very good idea, you must prefer security and order, yes, as long as you do not do anything illegal, China is a very good place, very free, if there is any difficulty, you can go to the police, Chinese police treat ordinary people very friendly, no violence, and very warm-hearted. Their jobs have their own code of conduct.
15:34 "be more happy"...this is their secret to success. They just get on with things and overcome challenges.
Hi sister Liz🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Here in Dali, my wife works seven days a week, and she never gets time off, yeah, we are renovating our house and the locals will just wander onto the property, just being nosey, the stares yes, can get a little irritating, if they look at me more than three times, I wave at them then they realise I see them and tend to stop, have to disagree on your comments about the woman, the ones I know are very strong-minded and not subservient - as a foreigner, they assume you are rich - ...but still love being here, clear, safe and very friendly, hope your mum has settled in okay...Peace
Can I say a few words, you are a foreigner in China, people are very curious when they see foreigners, for example, curious about what they do, for them, most of them have been surrounded by Chinese people almost their whole life, you know what I mean, they are very curious about things they have not seen, they want to know what a foreigner is like, Sometimes they may do things that foreigners do not like, such as watching, such as pointing, in addition, they will not do anything to hurt you, they are just curious about things they have not seen, if you want to do your own thing, not to be disturbed, it is OK, after a period of time, they will lose their curiosity and leave.
My GF was from Kunming and she always said that Kunming was like the bundus compared to Shanghai. I liked Shanghai and I am living in VN. I live not far from Kunming and can go there by train. Problem is the visa.
Hey Funny looking, just remember big G would hire individuals just to post negativity on your channel just to wear you out, and there also the joker.
Your honesty is what good people want to hear, great stuff keep it up. 😊
Yes, you'll have so much personal space in Kensington Avenue Philadelphia, Portland, Vancouver Canada, even you can have your personal drugs, given freely for the first time as a sample, and trade the drugs afterward with your soul, mind, and body, so that you can be a Zombie 😂
Great and accurate comment. 👍👍👍
Marriage is difficult in many country，一言難盡，the other problems.....for foreigners , you can try to adapt it or just never mind it
A beautiful country - China
Fantastic, entertaining video. Thank you so so much… I’ve been a scriber for quite a long time, and I have not replied very often, but do you have a very entertaining style and this was one of your best I just came back from Shanghai having a two month visit with a friend there so it’s no surprise to me all the things you said, but what a wonderful wonderful country.
welcome to China！
@Because I'm Lizzy,Can I say a few words, you are a foreigner in China, people are very curious when they see foreigners, for example, curious about what they do, for them, most of them have been surrounded by Chinese people almost their whole life, you know what I mean, they are very curious about things they have not seen, they want to know what a foreigner is like, Sometimes they may do things that foreigners do not like, such as watching, such as pointing, in addition, they will not do anything to hurt you, they are just curious about things they have not seen, if you want to do your own thing, not to be disturbed, it is OK, after a period of time, they will lose their curiosity and leave.
Thx for sharing
😊 big hug. Intersting...
China is the safest country to live in.🇨🇦
What you are talking about is true. I mean both good and bad side.
You’re on the right side Lizzy. God is pleased with your godly works.
No. 9 --- I'm a Chinese from Hong Kong. I also lived in Canada when I was young. The west like to share the "feeling" but the Chinese really don't. So when we talk about something private, it would mean we are looking for advice. And for that, if you are not looking for advice, but just what a good listener and let it out, don't talk to a chinese..may i suggest getting a pet...I heard they can be very good listeners...
你說的很有道理，不過我覺得中國確實有很多自身的缺點導致現在很腐敗，中國到現在沒有實現國家統一，解放台灣，中國的教育制度很腐敗，看重學習而不看重素質，以學習來取決一切，他們扼殺了學生的能力，家長也是很有問題覺得自己都是對的孩子都是錯的，中國應該把教育進行大規模改善如果不改善早晚有一天人民也會起義革命推翻政府，但大部分中國的負面新聞都是美國和西方媒體的污衊造謠
你們沒機會解放了，但是能解尿
Life in China isn't perfect. Life in ANY country isn't perfect (not even in Switzerland). I live in Canada and there's plenty to bitch about here.
Still, life in China is pretty damn good. I feel jealous.
The issue is not about the quality of life in China. The issue is about political ideology. China is not a liberal democracy. Western critics and bigots have a problem with that.
If China were a liberal democracy, they couldn't bash China. Well, I suppose they could still bash China in the same way that they could bash Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines...any country whose culture is too different from their own. It boils down to _xenophobia._
China practice people democracy which is more efficient than the western one 😅
very like your video~
No perfect country in the world , the place fitting yourself is the best , I like Chinese medical system, I used to got injured in China and then went to ED of hospital, which was so fast to get treatment, in my country you have to wait like fucking 7hours or more in ED … and food and groceries in China are cheaper and tasty .. but in my country every thing is expensive at the moment……. More and more ppl living in a tough life …………..
women don't pour the drink, unless you drinks in those kinda bars.😂
How do you say no to food? Do you say yes three times first?
I'm Chinese. Agree all on this video
The thing that upset me about China was I looked at Australia without the rose-coloured glasses. Particularly the "China Bad" government and media. Almost everyone I tell about China will argue. You would think they were the ones that had been there.
Typical brain washed zombies.
oh the personal space definitely get on my nerves
Salary of most Chinese are around 500USD amonth
white house - 'it perfectly safe to hang around with american zombies ... '

✨ ok, I'll do it.........where is Emma????? 🤔
Your video are the truth in china❤
I've subscribed to your channel, don't be angry anymore 😁❤
Before you diss China, get in touch with your US embassy "special department". Otherwise your efforts will not earn you big money. Like this video. 🤣🤣🤣. Be smart, and earn big bucks.
Too much generalisation. All the "bad points" mentioned are also applicable to other countries ALL OVER the world.
@13:40 People in Asian societies are too busy trying to earn a living, trying to do well financially for their family. This is why they do not have time to DWELL on mental problems. Unlike Western people with too much time and wealth, they dwell on their mental problems. They exaggerate on their problems of coping with life and work. They dwell on their WOKE culture.
@13:16 Now, this point about Marriage, the Western concept of "LOVE" is based on Physical Attraction. This is why Divorce is easily the way out when this Physical Attraction is gone. Eastern concept of Marriage tends to emphasize on respect and duties to one's partner, emphasize on financial support and compatibility. Such marriages last because they are based on reality, not just physical attraction.
**Other generalisation in the video, I leave them for foreign viewers themselves to research further.
one fans +
China is a police state. If you must move to a police state, why not go to North Korea instead?
👍❤️
The subtitles on your video cannot be translated into Chinese language
华为手机的同声传译功能香得很，啥语言的视频都能实时字幕
So Lizzy Love Chins, so what? There's 1.4 billions people are also tge same too! 😂❤
我喜欢听你的声音，正好可以学习英语
A wise person lives in godliness. A fool looks for something bad to talk about… you are wise Lizzy.
Safety but not food safety 😮
8:55 So few women, Lizzy. You are an English teacher. Grammar must be uptight.
Yes, I am surprised her English is not correct at times. How she got a teaching post in China? Mmmmm. 🤔🤔🤔
❤❤❤👍👍👍
用来当英语听力
China mode is totally different from the other country of the world, China let everybody not poor.
😅😅😅
Depending on who or where you are compared to. If you compare China to Utopia, China has nothing great about it.
:)
The poster name was Mike West, are you kidding me? How obvious can CIA bot be?
