As a businessman from North America, I need to travel to China at least 3 times in a year for trading shows. I have encountered at least 3 times I left designer wallet, cell phone and even cash on the table. And every time I found the stuff I left exactly where it was. No one bother to touch it.
This can prove that most Chinese people are not greedy for cheap qualities. But please don't do this kind of test. This will make many foreigners follow suit when they come to China in the future. After all, there are good people and bad people everywhere. If you lose your belongings, you can take the opportunity to slander China.
@arthurlincoln9093 But then Chinese have facial recognition for buying a metro ticket or a soda from a vending machine They even have some stores where you are scanned biometric/facially and the items are charged on your account as you leave the store bypassing the need for a checkout counter We are getting to the point we have to ask some teenager to unlock a toothpaste cabinet to buy toothpaste Or we are too afraid to shutdown stores or be called racist to a certain demographic Because folks walk into those stores take items and then bypass the checkout counters as well That’s because we have a revolving door justice system and you know it Btw You dont want to give up your personal data, bio data, genetic data Then the USA will fall further behind in fields like A.I. 🙄
@arthurlincoln9093 On a per capita basis there are more cameras in the UK than in China. I live in the US and were likely monitored just as much if not more, we just don't advertise it like the Chinese do. Chinese in China understand there's a cost to having one of the MOST secure places in the world where your kids can run around at ALL times of the night without worry. In US, it's a dangerous place compared to China...even WITH ALL the cameras...
@arthurlincoln9093 anyone who thinks there is no freedoms in China…… Need to come to Canada where I would argue we have a very liberal constitution For example where a 50 offence rap sheet career criminal commits yet another crime are arrested and let out the next day… because by law we have to release this person unless they are deemed a danger to society 🙄🤷♂️🤷♂️ Or we have cops tells us to put our car keys near the front door of our homes so when some person breaks in to borrow our car for ever….. we don’t get confronted by them 👍 The most telling is…. I actually live in a city in Canada that is now the most Asian city in North America maybe the world outside of Asia Which went from 99% Caucasian to now 80% Asian and 60% immigrants With 54% being Chinese I would argue their recent voting is a telling factor as they voted for a Conservative Party in the Provincial election and will vote for a Conservative Party in the next Federal Election That’s because the current Liberal party that currently controls the Provincial Government and the Liberal party that controls the Federal Government for the matter We’re blamed for a local city government decision/attempt to put a safe injection/consumption site in the city (when the incidence of drug use in my city is extremely low compared to surrounding cities and the rest of the country) Kinda like let’s put these sites up near where there is a majority Asians/Chinese… 🤔 Like they originally put the first consumption site ever in North America up near where the original Chinatown was So these 54% Chinese 60% immigrants could have voted for those freedoms…. but they didn’t Actually voted in step with a Conservative party that was anti immigrant and most racist against them…🤔🤔🤔 If anything, these are the people who would have been the ones…. who left Hong Kong or China for a better life and more liberal freedoms
I am from Hong Kong, China. Chinese people are taught from a young age not to be greedy, to rely on their own efforts to achieve what they want, to help others when they need assistance, not to argue with others, but also not to be afraid of conflicts.
yes thats maybe what u have been taught... but as a whole.. Chinese people are Selfish!! the glasses and watch have not been taken because there are lots of cameras everywhere... big daddy is watching... I remember going back to even 10 years ago pickpockets were everywhere and we had to make sure we did not get our travel documents nicked else it meant a long stay in China!!!
Happened to me in October, I forgot my jacket on top of a chair in a busy restaurant. When I returned the next day it was wrapped in a nice plastic bag for me to pick up.
Yes and I'm sure they also gave you $40 for your time and a free house and car too. I'm sure your comment is totally legit. Why would Chinese spread propaganda to Europeans to try to split us apart from our Western allies? China would never!
I have traveled and lived in several countries. If I compare China with other countries where I have been, China is honestly my fav. It's so safe, fast increasing modernization, very easygoing atmosphere (no hate crimes etc), awesome food (fruits are the best) and very kind people. China will definitely be my last stop.
I’ve travelled to China. Never had anything stolen, even when left on restaurant table. Very honest people. Would definitely not happen in North America.
Because helping others takes time (contacting the police, or waiting for the owner to return), most people choose to leave in a hurry rather than waste time on it.
If you pick up that thing in China, you need to wait for the owner to arrive. If he doesn't arrive, you need to hand it over to the police. This is why you can pick up the goods at China's express delivery stations without anyone stopping you, but no one will steal your express delivery. It seems to be a habit not to take other people's things.
There is an old saying in China that roughly means: "Don't test the limits of people's tolerance or loyalty, for it is dangerous." Even in a secure environment, such tests should not be conducted, as they can have negative effects on both the individual and those around them.
@@MrAlexCage you should test this thing more on other countries more likely those things been taken, it will more entertained. more entertainment and to judge.
@@MrAlexCage Yes, Chinese people have their own traditional culture and moral concepts. Japanese and Korean cultural works and film and television works always like to discuss human nature and then show the ugly side to the world, but Chinese people may like to watch these works. But they don't like to discuss human nature
Yes, it happened to me, too. I left my cell phone inside the bathroom stall. When I went back shortly, the cleaning lady was there watching it for me❤😊
If you mean the battery, There are Charging banks for hire. You go to the dispenser, Scan you barcode to pay, take a charging bank, plug in and walk away. Drop the bank at any dispenser in the area when your phone is charged.
If that's an authentic luxury watch and someone steals it, it's mandatory jail time, and believe me thieves will be caught. The cops are bored these days. If you give them a theft case they will send an entire squad on top of it.
The law stipulates that anyone who steals more than 1,000 yuan ($137) will be sentenced to 3 years in prison. More than 30,000 yuan ($4,000), 10 years in prison. If the amount exceeds 300,000 yuan (40,000$), the prison term will be more than ten years.
If you put your mobile phone, computer or other things on the bench, Chinese people may think that you are just "occupying a seat"😂. You can see that no one is sitting on the bench in the video. However, this behavior is dangerous because you are not testing safety, but rather testing people's moral standards, which is not reliable. Thank you for your interesting video.
the point is in some cities, they will take your stuff and sit there 😂 - if someone took it, he would not show it in the video ( just say) - " place holding" in Sanya recently ... ruclips.net/user/clipUgkx1eh4nc9kvBwcabFywtlfcM7So_a83l8q?si=cEedHqMhcJu_ufj7
Went to an office in China. Was carrying a suitcase with clothes and other valuables. Security said suitcase not allowed in the building. They told me to leave it outside, at a nearby park. Four hours later, I came out of the office. The park was empty, the guards at the building I’d entered were no longer there, but my suitcase was where I’d left it. No one had touched it. I was surprised.
I had the same experience once when my wallet was forgotten on a table in a restaurant in China, and got it back in about 30 minutes when I rushed back to find out that the wallet was picked up by someone and handed it to the restaurant management. However, I do think people should take care of their belongings.
@@cocapuffs Because the human heart is the most untestable thing. In China, we have a proverb that I can give you. There are two things in the world that you cannot look directly at: one is the sun, and the other is the human heart.
@@cocapuffs It must be emphasized that they don't take these things not because they are kind, but because they know that they have done something bad and can be easily caught. If a person commits a crime and cannot be traced by anyone, have you ever thought of doing this? The human heart is immeasurable
Nowhere safe because how they treat other countries uk and USA are nothing but bullies around the world. All the bad news about other countries they go on about its their own countries aren't safe to be around usa and uk should on the dangerous countries not to visit
In kindergarten, we all learned a nursery rhyme that goes like this: "I found a penny on the sidewalk, I gave it to a policeman so fine. He took the penny and nodded his head, I happily said, 'Goodbye, officer, and take care!'"
Interesting, informative and revealing. Though two small social experiments, they Say a lot about Chinese people’s behavior in the public. Admirable and Respectable. Very.
i am chinese, i know there are a few reasons for why nobody tried to touch your items.1. some chinese people are really not greedy, it is good manner that we were taught in young age. 2.with the quality of life improvement, people do not lack of those things. 3.there are a lot of cameras on the streets, if the person who take them away, they will be find by police officers soon, and the impact of it is serious(i think it is the primary reason) .4. it has risk to touch something what is not belongs to you outside, if you pick up a wallet with 100 rmb in, then the owner find you and says it contains 500 rmb, then you will get into trouble. so that is why your sun glasses and watch still on the bench.
I come from a very traditional chinese family and my family always taught me that picking up something from the ground may bring bad omens because u will never know if there's "anything attached" to the item. My parents taught me not to even pick up cash because it could be a bait or something. Therefore I never pick up anything I see on the ground unless its an ID or something where the owner of the item can be identified
I have a friend who is a police officer in Shanghai. More than a decade ago, the job of his department was to catch thieves. Several years ago, this job was no longer possible because it was almost impossible to catch thieves. So they switched to catching sexual harassment in the subway. Recently, he has been very worried because it is difficult to complete the task quota. As usual, there are fewer criminals. Funny, right?
When we were in Amsterdam for vacation this summer, my wife left her iphone on a bench like this in downtown during a busy afternoon. When we reaized it five minutes later, we frantically searched everywhere. Luckily two kind tourists from Germany saw the phone sitting on the bench and they kept it for us. I was almost sure the phone was gone, but we were lucky that day that the phone fell in the right hands.😊
you know your videos won't go rival as those anti-China RUclips channels? You gotta use extremely negative and extremely clickbait titles to attrack viewers as most viewers in the West are more into negative narratives about China. Try to use titles like this: Communist China is dangerous, CCP's regime is falling apart, massive CCP surveillance system oppressing citizens, etc.. videos with these titles easily get favored by RUclips algorithm and western viewers.
Their trolls are trying to stir things up so that China's neighbouring countries come to hate China. They want to use them as their shield in their future battle against China. They call China bully while they themselves do FAR worse, in the past and today.
Vloggers in China are getting crazier and crazier; this is the 3rd unattended item test I see in one week. Sunglasses and watch on the bench, stuffed backpack in the basket of share bike, laptop on the table of fast food restaurant. Please stop littering in public🤣.
Very few ever noticed that china gov started a compaign aiming at "eliminating poverty" in around 2015 and declared total victory in 2020. And those who did notice were making jokes and memes on the declaration, even the chinese cyberspace were mocking on it, saying jokes like "good bye dear, as a poor guy i will be eliminated tomorrow." But you do see the outcomes of the campaign. I am 40 now and was born and raised in Qingdao in north China, and lived most of my life in China, except for 3 years in Paris and Kyoto for a phd. And untill around 2010, china was NOT SAFE at all. Theft was somehow common, policeman asked for bribes, and you should always avoid encounter with some "ethnic groups" on the street. Things changed really a lot but as the Internationale says, change doesn't come from above, it took lots of hard effort to make it a reality.
Once I drove to Shenzhen for a trip. I parked my car on the side of the road and went to a restaurant for dinner. I forgot to close the trunk when I left. Two hours later, I came back and found that I had forgotten to lock the trunk. It was open. In the trunk were my suitcases, a ventilator, and some other things. They were all intact.
25 years ago this is not the case. I had my leather pouch stolen practically in front of me in a split second. My sister in law had her backpack slashed to try steal things inside. Today with all the education that crime doest pay , police apprehend culprits quickly and there are 200M CCTVs with face recognition tech - the ppl have gone thru a period of social education and deterrence. Now it is normal just to stay honest and mind your own biz. Also there is no cash so ppl n homes are very safe. Also the ban on guns, drugs and gangs helped keep the streets safe and clean.
That's true. I don't mean to stir up racial conflicts, but in fact, 25 years ago, there were many theft gangs from Xinjiang in Suzhou. Even thieves who were only a few years old were instigated by the gangs to commit large-scale thefts. Due to ethnic policies, they would not be punished and were usually sent back to their registered places of residence. Therefore, there were police from Xinjiang stationed in every county and city in Suzhou, and they would deal with them once they were caught.
Ten years ago, there were stealing gangs in Xinjiang, and Uyghur children committed crimes, and the police could do nothing about it. There were also Uyghur vendors selling things, and if didn't pay a high price to buy his things, he would take a knife, and the police would not dare to deal with it
A few years back I carelessly left my iphone in the Shanghai Tower's toilet after visiting that iconic attraction. I was already out of the building along the streets when I realised that my iphone was not with me. I quickly rushed back to the Tower and approached the reception counter but not really having much hope of ever seeing it again as that was an expensive iphone. Guess what ? When I told the receptionist what had happened, she just smiled, bent down below the counter and handed my iphone (nicely wrapped in a plastic bag) to me and said that someone had found my phone and had handed it to her, thinking that the owner will be back for it. Tks god for the honesty of the Chinese ppl. Amazing ! 👍
I envy China. As a Chinese in America, I saw one of my vacation homes broken in a few times every year, and the police did absolutely anything. There are great Americans, but the bad ones make you know their existence.
I just go back from china.. i accidentally left my bag with 6passport and cell phone on mrt station.. 3hour later i just realized and i go back there, the cleaning service took my bag and transfer to security... Finally i get back my bag
In China, most cities have surveillance cameras everywhere. People are trained NOT to pick up other people belonging since whoever left stuffs there would come back to get them when they realized that they lost items. It is very safe in China, any time of the day! Safe to travel and live in China.
In Hongkong I witnessed such a good example. We left our bag ang carrier in a corner without any padlock to secure those items and yet after 10 hours nothing lost. ❤
As a Chinese, based on my understanding of the Chinese police, if these two things are stolen, according to the value of your watch, the thief will be sentenced to about 10 years in prison if caught, and he will be caught within a few hours. No one will spend his entire life committing a crime that is 100% likely to be caught. Of course, if it is in the United States, just pretend that I said nothing.
As a Chinese, we should remind everyone that there are good people and bad people everywhere. We should pay attention to the safety of personal life and property, and do not have too high expectations for anyone or anything.
If you see the behavior of picking up express delivery at express delivery stations in China, you will be shocked. It is almost impossible to get the wrong package, even if no one stops you from doing anything.
In 2016, I forgot my computer bag in Shanghai Pu Dong airport. There were my laptop and iPad inside, I bought them only three months. When I was crying, one staff of Shanghai Pu Dong airport called me, someone found my computer bag in the duty free shop and took it to the airport office. And they found inside the bag, there was my notebook with telephone number, then they called me. After several years, I still appreciate this person and Shanghai Pu Dong airport office.
The most likely to be lost in China is beverage bottles, especially half-drinked bottles. If you put your valuables and beverage bottles together, you will only lose your beverage bottles.
I lived in China for a decade. Like everywhere else there are good people and bad people, honest and dishonest. I've left my bank card in an ATM slot, but somebody just removed it and placed on top of the machine, no attempt at fraud.
It’s not just the culture thing, economy also a main factor, most Chinese now are well fed have abundant of things, so your cheap stuffs is worth nothing to them
Jai cette expérience en chine dans magasin au centre commercial avec une bacelet en or porte bonheur et clé voiture sur la table personne ne touche depuis longtemps remarqué, je suis très impressionné 😊
A month ago, in Chengdu, I was attending an exhibition with my laptop. While drinking coffee, I decided to get rid of the burden, so I put my laptop and backpack on a chair in the coffee shop and went to the exhibition. I came back about 3 hours later, took my computer and backpack and left. I'm glad that no one is stealing anything, so I don't have to carry heavy stuff around all the time, but I can safely put it somewhere.
Different civilization mate, totally different background culture, you can tell from the history. which kinda ppl invaded, killed, looted and stole the most all over the world? yes, youre right, them
This was just in my feed, so first time watch. This to me now is nothing, but I would have been shocked when I was in UK. I've been here and in Asia for nearly two years. No need to lock my bike, or even take the keys out of my moped. I leave my laptop in the cafe while I go and do stuff. I left my hat in a bar last week and I went back a week later, and it was hung up on the clothes hanger, haha. Totally safe country and I love it here. All the ridiculous comments about freedoms and whatnot, are just people in the west, who know nothing about China, or Chinese culture. In fact one of my early films here, from last year, I lost my house keys and was worried about my stuff as my keys really identify where I live (not recommended in UK!), and the next day, someone had not only found them, but left them outside my flat. It used to blow my mind, but you soon get used to it.
@@MrAlexCage I often say 'freedom' is my favourite thing about China, to the shock and disbelief of westerners. So many freedoms, that I take for granted now. I can take my bike out and park somewhere, go and eat, and come back to it, unlike in UK where it has a parking ticket on it from a private company who want to f**k my life and credit rating up! haha
@@MrAlexCage reminds me of a Chris Rock comedy sketch which I love, about why people get arrested and imprisoned... his advice... DON'T DO illegal things! haha
The watch being there is a little too obvious that someone may have planted it there instead of forgetting it. The sunglasses alone would look more "random" and "believable". I won't leave anything behind for sure because I always check before i leave.
It wasn’t the case before the cameras everywhere.😂. In the old days, the restaurant would put a cover over the customer’s properties if they noticed the customers had put their purses etc. behind their back after sitting down. That’s to prevent thieves. It’s a trade off between the privacy and security.
No matter where there are good people and bad people, although I am from China, I will still take care of my things, no matter how safe it is, there is a risk of loss, don't test people's hearts
Wow wow wow, i always watch this, but this 1 is the highest I've seen, i too can't also believe what i just watched, I can't wait for you to do the newyork edition 😂😂😂😂
30 years ago if u leave valuable stuffs outside in china mostly likely people take it, but recent years Chinese economy getting bigger and richer people are busing making real money and not doing petty stuff. On their hands US used to be safer back in the 80s or 90s but now is getting worse due to economy and inflation and stealing is like second income for most people.
From a Chinese: Thank you for your for appreciating our safety and defending our honour, but please be careful in the future and don't do more tests like this, as Chinese myself, wouldn't dare to do that, there are still bad people and crime here, although not as bad as before, but still should be attentive on your personal belongings. Thanks again, legend, have a good time.
Most people were busy walking, only a few noticed the items. Even then, they didn't pick up the items likely because of street surveillance cameras everywhere.
Mate, I found the same thing in China when I visited. No-one touched your stuff if left alone. I can NOT say the same thing in Europe or USA. I was picked pocketed at the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Acropolis in Greece, and NYC in USA. I still can not figure out how they do it. Now I carry no cash or card ... all transactions are done on my phone.
The point some people are missing is not that you should leave your stuff unattended. There is a chance, however slim, that even in China they'll go missing. The point is the relative safety of China compare to many other places. If you happen to forget your belongings at a cafe or a public place, there is good chance it'll be there when you get back. But that is by no means guaranteed. In comparison, if you leave your things in many other countries for even a minute, it's almost guaranteed that it'll be gone. And if you're in the US or UK, they might even take it from you while you're holding it in your hand.
A chinese idiom ‘’ 路不拾遗‘’ do not pick up things on the road, simply means dont take things that not your own. It is always taught to students in schools from young. It is part and parcel of cultural behavior in the chinese society.
As a businessman from North America, I need to travel to China at least 3 times in a year for trading shows. I have encountered at least 3 times I left designer wallet, cell phone and even cash on the table. And every time I found the stuff I left exactly where it was. No one bother to touch it.
Messages like this will attract thieves.
I reckon what you are saying is true, I have experienced the same thing!

anyone who thinks there is no freedoms in China……
Need to come to Canada where I would argue we have a very liberal constitution
For example where a 50 offence rap sheet career criminal commits yet another crime are arrested and let out the next day… because by law we have to release this person unless they are deemed a danger to society 🙄🤷♂️🤷♂️
Or we have cops tells us to put our car keys near the front door of our homes so when some person breaks in to borrow our car for ever….. we don’t get confronted by them 👍
The most telling is….
I actually live in a city in Canada that is now the most Asian city in North America maybe the world outside of Asia
Which went from 99% Caucasian
to now 80% Asian and 60% immigrants
With 54% being Chinese
I would argue their recent voting is a telling factor as they voted for a Conservative Party in the Provincial election and will vote for a Conservative Party in the next Federal Election
That’s because the current Liberal party that currently controls the Provincial Government and the Liberal party that controls the Federal Government for the matter
We’re blamed for a local city government decision/attempt to put a safe injection/consumption site in the city
(when the incidence of drug use in my city is extremely low compared to surrounding cities and the rest of the country)
Kinda like let’s put these sites up near where there is a majority Asians/Chinese… 🤔
Like they originally put the first consumption site ever in North America up near where the original Chinatown was
So these 54% Chinese 60% immigrants could have voted for those freedoms…. but they didn’t
Actually voted in step with a Conservative party that was anti immigrant and most racist against them…🤔🤔🤔
If anything, these are the people who would have been the ones….
who left Hong Kong or China for a better life and more liberal freedoms

作为一个中国人，我一直都反对神话任何东西，包括人的素质，道德，不要去考验人心，人心是经不起考验的，不要神话中国，中国也有好人坏人，不要带滤镜去看他，用平常心对待就好
你说的对，99.99%的人都是不贪婪的，这个社会已经非常好了，但即便是0.01%的人贪婪，在15亿人口基数下仍然不少，所以测试是不可取的。我只能说大多数情况下你的东西不会失去。我猜假如丢了会被拿来攻击中国的安全状况，所以这种测试不可取。
良好的治理体系下，恶人的比例会被降到最低...不刻意美化也不能被刻意丑化
我也不支持这种社会测试，人性经不住考验，无论是拿的人还是不拿的人都只是代表个体，不能代表整个中国社会，所以通过这种测试的美化或抹黑中国社会都是不对的
赞同。我很开心这次测试中取得了令人开心的结果。并且我相信大多数时候是这样的。但是如果有人把东西拿走想据为己有，我也丝毫不会感到意外。
这点我同意你

the “occupied” culture speaks for itself. The unattended stuff still belongs to someone instead of me.
Yes, as a Chinese, I also often use my mobile phone to occupy seats. Just putting the phone there means that this is my territory.

我并不喜欢有人把中国的安全方面捧的太高，捧的太高一旦犯错，只会摔的更狠，中国太大，不可控的太多了，只是相比一些国家来说安全一些，但仍有很多不足，希望不论是国人还是外国人，还是要注意安全，小心保管好自己的财务！
不是中国安全 是别的国家太不安全 在瑞士和挪威我都被偷过。。。。别的地方可想而知了
大家都知道西方国家表面上装得有钱，实际上他们的人民（除了一些非常有钱的上级社会人士，有钱的就非常有钱，没钱的就真的生活困难，差距太大了）生活过得较潦倒。去欧洲时时刻刻都要警惕自己的钱包、包包、手机、照相机等等贵重物品，一不留神就会消失得无影无踪，报了警也拿不回的了。有些被偷窃了的钱包、包包也会被摆摊在街上廉价卖。他们也专挑游客下手偷窃，所以穿着打扮尽量低调随乡入俗。若是华人脸孔就没法子了，第一个就会被这些扒手盯上。他们的偷窃技术真是让人惊叹不已，太恐怖了！美国的平民区就是直接抢劫的，而且人人都有手枪，甚为不安。
巴黎等城市街头超多吉普赛，盯着游客的眼神恶狠狠；在米兰地铁亲眼看见三个高大的男人偷一个上班族的钱包；在里昂，一个街头的teen假装跟我门聊天想偷我朋友放在衣服口袋的钱包；在波士顿住在哈佛医学院旁边，半夜听到外面怎么好像在放鞭炮，第二天看报纸，说是有人半夜开枪。。。
说得没错，毕竟还是有人会犯罪的。希望各位来中国的外国朋友，还是要注意安全，防范于未然，做好个人的保护。但中国总的来说是极安全的，欢迎你们来中国玩、投资、经商。
而且还会给别人带来麻烦，大部分人不是闲的没事就不会管的，有的很热心的会捡了去联系失主，确实很耗时间哈哈哈，不去管有些人会觉得心里过不去，反正挺不舒服哈哈
I’ve travelled to China. Never had anything stolen, even when left on restaurant table. Very honest people. Would definitely not happen in North America.
Yoo!
Also it wouldn't happen in Paris, and many EU nations.
The best is there are so many people passing by but they just look at it and carry on walking. They don't even bother.
Because helping others takes time (contacting the police, or waiting for the owner to return), most people choose to leave in a hurry rather than waste time on it.
实际上，他们很多人是想报警或是等待失主
If you pick up that thing in China, you need to wait for the owner to arrive. If he doesn't arrive, you need to hand it over to the police. This is why you can pick up the goods at China's express delivery stations without anyone stopping you, but no one will steal your express delivery. It seems to be a habit not to take other people's things.
Totally agree!

There is an old saying in China that roughly means: "Don't test the limits of people's tolerance or loyalty, for it is dangerous." Even in a secure environment, such tests should not be conducted, as they can have negative effects on both the individual and those around them.

In China，usually cleaner will send it to the Public Security Management Office when he picks it up.
If that's an authentic luxury watch and someone steals it, it's mandatory jail time, and believe me thieves will be caught. The cops are bored these days. If you give them a theft case they will send an entire squad on top of it.

Yes. The police are looking forward to this happening because they are usually too idle and have nothing to do.
The law stipulates that anyone who steals more than 1,000 yuan ($137) will be sentenced to 3 years in prison. More than 30,000 yuan ($4,000), 10 years in prison. If the amount exceeds 300,000 yuan (40,000$), the prison term will be more than ten years.

If you put your mobile phone, computer or other things on the bench, Chinese people may think that you are just "occupying a seat"😂. You can see that no one is sitting on the bench in the video. However, this behavior is dangerous because you are not testing safety, but rather testing people's moral standards, which is not reliable. Thank you for your interesting video.

Went to an office in China. Was carrying a suitcase with clothes and other valuables. Security said suitcase not allowed in the building. They told me to leave it outside, at a nearby park. Four hours later, I came out of the office. The park was empty, the guards at the building I’d entered were no longer there, but my suitcase was where I’d left it. No one had touched it. I was surprised.
Wow that’s amazing! I’m glad it worked out for you! 😄
I had the same experience once when my wallet was forgotten on a table in a restaurant in China, and got it back in about 30 minutes when I rushed back to find out that the wallet was picked up by someone and handed it to the restaurant management. However, I do think people should take care of their belongings.
I'm glad you had a good experience!

In July 2024,I lost my wallet with 1500💷, near 白金汉宫 Buckingham palace.
In kindergarten, we all learned a nursery rhyme that goes like this: "I found a penny on the sidewalk, I gave it to a policeman so fine. He took the penny and nodded his head, I happily said, 'Goodbye, officer, and take care!'"
Interesting, informative and revealing. Though two small social experiments, they Say a lot about Chinese people’s behavior in the public. Admirable and Respectable. Very.
i am chinese, i know there are a few reasons for why nobody tried to touch your items.1. some chinese people are really not greedy, it is good manner that we were taught in young age. 2.with the quality of life improvement, people do not lack of those things. 3.there are a lot of cameras on the streets, if the person who take them away, they will be find by police officers soon, and the impact of it is serious(i think it is the primary reason) .4. it has risk to touch something what is not belongs to you outside, if you pick up a wallet with 100 rmb in, then the owner find you and says it contains 500 rmb, then you will get into trouble. so that is why your sun glasses and watch still on the bench.

I come from a very traditional chinese family and my family always taught me that picking up something from the ground may bring bad omens because u will never know if there's "anything attached" to the item. My parents taught me not to even pick up cash because it could be a bait or something. Therefore I never pick up anything I see on the ground unless its an ID or something where the owner of the item can be identified

I have a friend who is a police officer in Shanghai. More than a decade ago, the job of his department was to catch thieves. Several years ago, this job was no longer possible because it was almost impossible to catch thieves. So they switched to catching sexual harassment in the subway. Recently, he has been very worried because it is difficult to complete the task quota. As usual, there are fewer criminals. Funny, right?

Very few ever noticed that china gov started a compaign aiming at "eliminating poverty" in around 2015 and declared total victory in 2020. And those who did notice were making jokes and memes on the declaration, even the chinese cyberspace were mocking on it, saying jokes like "good bye dear, as a poor guy i will be eliminated tomorrow." But you do see the outcomes of the campaign.
I am 40 now and was born and raised in Qingdao in north China, and lived most of my life in China, except for 3 years in Paris and Kyoto for a phd. And untill around 2010, china was NOT SAFE at all. Theft was somehow common, policeman asked for bribes, and you should always avoid encounter with some "ethnic groups" on the street. Things changed really a lot but as the Internationale says, change doesn't come from above, it took lots of hard effort to make it a reality.
Once I drove to Shenzhen for a trip. I parked my car on the side of the road and went to a restaurant for dinner. I forgot to close the trunk when I left. Two hours later, I came back and found that I had forgotten to lock the trunk. It was open. In the trunk were my suitcases, a ventilator, and some other things. They were all intact.
Wow that's amazing!
25 years ago this is not the case. I had my leather pouch stolen practically in front of me in a split second. My sister in law had her backpack slashed to try steal things inside. Today with all the education that crime doest pay , police apprehend culprits quickly and there are 200M CCTVs with face recognition tech - the ppl have gone thru a period of social education and deterrence. Now it is normal just to stay honest and mind your own biz. Also there is no cash so ppl n homes are very safe. Also the ban on guns, drugs and gangs helped keep the streets safe and clean.
That's true. I don't mean to stir up racial conflicts, but in fact, 25 years ago, there were many theft gangs from Xinjiang in Suzhou. Even thieves who were only a few years old were instigated by the gangs to commit large-scale thefts. Due to ethnic policies, they would not be punished and were usually sent back to their registered places of residence. Therefore, there were police from Xinjiang stationed in every county and city in Suzhou, and they would deal with them once they were caught.
@ They were also in GZ but CCTVs made it difficult to steal and also no cash now.
Ten years ago, there were stealing gangs in Xinjiang, and Uyghur children committed crimes, and the police could do nothing about it. There were also Uyghur vendors selling things, and if didn't pay a high price to buy his things, he would take a knife, and the police would not dare to deal with it
A few years back I carelessly left my iphone in the Shanghai Tower's toilet after visiting that iconic attraction. I was already out of the building along the streets when I realised that my iphone was not with me. I quickly rushed back to the Tower and approached the reception counter but not really having much hope of ever seeing it again as that was an expensive iphone. Guess what ? When I told the receptionist what had happened, she just smiled, bent down below the counter and handed my iphone (nicely wrapped in a plastic bag) to me and said that someone had found my phone and had handed it to her, thinking that the owner will be back for it. Tks god for the honesty of the Chinese ppl. Amazing ! 👍
I envy China. As a Chinese in America, I saw one of my vacation homes broken in a few times every year, and the police did absolutely anything. There are great Americans, but the bad ones make you know their existence.

In China, most cities have surveillance cameras everywhere. People are trained NOT to pick up other people belonging since whoever left stuffs there would come back to get them when they realized that they lost items. It is very safe in China, any time of the day! Safe to travel and live in China.
That's a culture thing in China, if you left something on the table or chair, it means the table or chair is occupied, so usually nobody would it.
It is interesting how different cultures have different norms, right?🤔
In Hongkong I witnessed such a good example. We left our bag ang carrier in a corner without any padlock to secure those items and yet after 10 hours nothing lost. ❤
I'm glad you had a similar experience! 😄
As a Chinese, based on my understanding of the Chinese police, if these two things are stolen, according to the value of your watch, the thief will be sentenced to about 10 years in prison if caught, and he will be caught within a few hours. No one will spend his entire life committing a crime that is 100% likely to be caught. Of course, if it is in the United States, just pretend that I said nothing.
這是撿不是盜竊，只要還給失主，大概率不會處罰。你可以看很多撿到手機的新聞，他們并沒有被處罰。
拿走了被找到的时候只要承认并归还，大概率是不会被抓的，但会被教育下次不要这么干。
good experiment, skeptic would argue that they are under video surveillance... but again, it still means good safety in public places.
I once saw on RUclips, several CCTVs in a closed shop in a US city were recording several thieves who were openly looting the goods in the shop.
As a Chinese, we should remind everyone that there are good people and bad people everywhere. We should pay attention to the safety of personal life and property, and do not have too high expectations for anyone or anything.
It will be more meaningful if you can do the same test in a couple different countries, such as in USA, UK ....

I left my hat in a bar last week and I went back a week later, and it was hung up on the clothes hanger, haha.
Totally safe country and I love it here. All the ridiculous comments about freedoms and whatnot, are just people in the west, who know nothing about China, or Chinese culture.
In fact one of my early films here, from last year, I lost my house keys and was worried about my stuff as my keys really identify where I live (not recommended in UK!), and the next day, someone had not only found them, but left them outside my flat. It used to blow my mind, but you soon get used to it.
I totally understand, it's a great feeling to have the freedom to not worry about such things! 😄
@@MrAlexCage I often say 'freedom' is my favourite thing about China, to the shock and disbelief of westerners. So many freedoms, that I take for granted now.

The watch being there is a little too obvious that someone may have planted it there instead of forgetting it. The sunglasses alone would look more "random" and "believable". I won't leave anything behind for sure because I always check before i leave.
It wasn’t the case before the cameras everywhere.😂. In the old days, the restaurant would put a cover over the customer’s properties if they noticed the customers had put their purses etc. behind their back after sitting down. That’s to prevent thieves. It’s a trade off between the privacy and security.
Interesting, I didn't know that!
No matter where there are good people and bad people, although I am from China, I will still take care of my things, no matter how safe it is, there is a risk of loss, don't test people's hearts

From a Chinese: Thank you for your for appreciating our safety and defending our honour, but please be careful in the future and don't do more tests like this, as Chinese myself, wouldn't dare to do that, there are still bad people and crime here, although not as bad as before, but still should be attentive on your personal belongings. Thanks again, legend, have a good time.
Most people were busy walking, only a few noticed the items.
Even then, they didn't pick up the items likely because of street surveillance cameras everywhere.
Mate, I found the same thing in China when I visited. No-one touched your stuff if left alone.
I can NOT say the same thing in Europe or USA. I was picked pocketed at the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Acropolis in Greece, and NYC in USA. I still can not figure out how they do it. Now I carry no cash or card ... all transactions are done on my phone.
That's a shame. Glad you are all good and using your phone now for transactions.
As we Chinese know, we can put mobile phones and wallets here, but we can't put pens and napkins here😂
The point some people are missing is not that you should leave your stuff unattended. There is a chance, however slim, that even in China they'll go missing. The point is the relative safety of China compare to many other places. If you happen to forget your belongings at a cafe or a public place, there is good chance it'll be there when you get back. But that is by no means guaranteed. In comparison, if you leave your things in many other countries for even a minute, it's almost guaranteed that it'll be gone. And if you're in the US or UK, they might even take it from you while you're holding it in your hand.

A chinese idiom ‘’ 路不拾遗‘’ do not pick up things on the road, simply means dont take things that not your own. It is always taught to students in schools from young. It is part and parcel of cultural behavior in the chinese society.
Did you put the camera in obvious sight? Seems that some people are looking directly into it.
No way, this is not normal for people not to take them. In Toronto, that wouldn't last 1 min on the bench.
Ahhh yes that's absolutely right sadly.
