A hard earning Taiwan people taxes , have been swindle by US by selling outdated weaponry , mostly those weaponry only 30 percent can perform , mostly will be dud. Poor Taiwan.
The anti-China sentiments among the youth in Taiwan largely stem from the school education system and media. In terms of education, ever since the DPP, the pro-independent party - stepped up as the ruling party back in 2012, it eliminated and simplified the Chinese history content in the textbooks from junior high school onwards (Prior to that, students like myself have studied comprehensive and detailed Chinese dynasties dating back 5,000 years). They also moved Chinese history into the World History section of the curriculum; began referring to the PRC as China, as opposed to using the term 'the Mainland' which had been commonly used for about half a century on the island. These are some of the examples of DPP's calculated moves to distance Taiwanese youth from China. In terms of media, DPP's propaganda is pervasive, present at school, in the news, and on social media...etc. A few years ago, they even shut down CTI news because it was deemed "too pro-China". I am Taiwanese, and personally, I do not want to be associated with DPP on any level. I can respect their desire for Taiwan to be an independent country, but the way they go about doing it is plain nasty and undemocratic. Of course, Taiwan's media narratives are deeply influenced by Western mainstream media as well, which, with the rise of social media and sprouting independent media worldwide, I hope more people will come to realize how those narratives can be extremely biased, oftentimes rife with distortion and hidden agendas, especially and particularly toward China.
Taiwan needs a dedicated, brainwashed, and obedient population of soldiers to help USA’s future war against China. Recruitment begins at elementary school level.
Now that the U$ regime is pushing Taiwan into the brink of a proxy war against China, do Taiwanese really want to become cannon fodder for the U$ regime? No offence, this is not just concerning China and the Taiwan island but the whole of Asia Pacific. A U$ proxy war in the Taiwan island will be devastating to Asia Pacific. Taiwanese please think long and hard, don't just let the U$ regime dictate your fate. Peace is the only way forward!
Taiwanese need to change their lanuage, create a new language and rise up! Be self sufficient and never lely on China! Free Taiwan and let us be fisherman, mountain people again back to nature!
I'm SEAsian. US has her footprints all over the world & always meddling in internal affairs of sovereign countries which is very unwelcome & disgusting considering that she is oceans away. As for Taiwan , it is legally & officially recognised as part of China by the United Nation including the US. But the US likes to say one thing and do another. I neither live in China nor Taiwan but looking at what the US ongoing actions in this part of the world , if not careful Taiwan might fall into the trap & ends up like Ukraine. This will affect stability & peace in whole of Asia. US is indeed not a peaceful country considering her long history of wars & foreign aggression for the sake of hegemony by pushing others to bloodshed. The issue of Taiwan & China is a Chinese affair & US & the west should stay out of it. China stressed a peaceful unification but US would tell the Taiwanese to buy more & more weapons. China builds infrastructures & BRI & US is always building military bases & selling arms. Who's the real threat ??
Hi. Like your video 👍👍 I'm ethnic Chinese born in Hong Kong but brought up in the West. I consider myself very pro- China. But it hasn't always been like this. I've become very pro- China because of all these extremely nasty non-stop malicious propaganda against China in the Western media. I'm sure there are a lot of overseas Chinese like myself who weren't pro- China to start off with, but became staunchly pro- China because of the Western media and the people believing the media.
My best friend is also from Hong Kong. When I first knew him, he had slightly anti- China views. But after living in the West for many years, he's turned very pro- China (which is a bit like myself except that I never had pro- or anti- China views to start off with). During Trump's trade war with China, he went and bought a Huawei phone to replace his Apple iPhone, just as a token support of Huawei!!
I was like you, but only I was very brainwashed by the western school so I did believe all those antichina media in school's text books and what other westerners said. However, Trump help me see how racist white Americans are against minorities and forever change my mind about being a self hating Asian. Now I'm pro China pro Russia and even pro Middle East
@@ChinaSongsCollectionYou were betrayed by the people you trusted. When people realize that they have been betrayed, they naturally stop believing the liars. Many even stop supporting the government or media that lied to them by boycotting whatever they thrive on. Many also go on to actively stand & speak up for China even though they are not from China or Chinese. Their strong moral compass is just compelling them to do so.

In 2019 I went on vacation to NY and in 2020 to Miami. And I was surprised by how bad public transport is in the USA. Especially in NY, the subway seemed to me the worst after knowing the one in most European cities. The state of decline of public infrastructures in the USA is surprising. I also thought the highways were very bad. In very bad condition. I've visited China four times and saw different regions. Every time I've visited... I've seen big improvements. I would even be bold enough to say that the major cities in China are now overall cleaner looking than the major cities in the US. For one example, I've visited public parks in Dalian and was amazed at how clean they look. The greening of the city is very good, and there are many electric cars on the street, which proves that the Chinese government attaches great importance to environmental protection.What impresses me the most is that life is very convenient, a cashless society, the subway system is very new and clean, and the people are very friendly.Other than some culture shock, I feel China is very safe. You can also go out late at night. In the US, I dare not go out at night, for fear that black people will shoot me. When I return home and tell my co-workers about my travels to China.... they refuse to believe me or the pictures I took. They just want to believe that I was shown around a "fake city" built for showing tourists. The fact that I was walking around these cities unescorted... still won't change their beliefs. No, these people still want to believe that China has "backward smoggy cities, where everyone still rides bicycles and wear grey old clothes because they are all poor and starving". I often hear ignorant statements such as: "The poorest Americans still live better than the average Chinese". The irony is these people never traveled to China or even want to watch these videos. And yet... these folks talk like they are all "China experts'. Anyway, have fun in China and God bless you.🤲🙏💪

I think when people talk about Japanese being nice. I think it’s more politeness, which is different from being helpful. Helpful is outgoing, and politeness is more reserved and not wanting to disturb others. Quite different but people often use the same terms for both.

If young Taiwanese are looking at the sky like frogs in a well, then it is a very sorry state for Taiwan, especially they clamor for independence in pursuits of so called freedom. Eventually they have to face up to reality. Taiwan economic prosperity for past 3 decades are built on enormous trade surplus from China trade.

I just came back from China. We went to Chongqing, Chengdu and Xian. All I can say is that people are extremely friendly, the policeman at the airport helped us translated our hotel name from English to Chinese for our taxi driver. Everyone was very helpful since we do not speak Chinese. Subway is so cleaned. I can’t speak about their government since I don’t live there but the people are definitely amazing. Best of all, it is so safe.
@@peterwilliams7335 That's why communication like travelling to China in person is a good way for ordinary people to escape from Western media's brainwash and control.
It is so refreshing to hear and see what is really happening in China through people who are actually inside China and reporting China without manipulation and fabrication like the Western media do. Please keep up with the great work and keep us from outside of China informed about what is really going on inside China.
Thanks for providing a nice western perspective to Chinese subways, especially the injection of the personal experience with the Japan and Taiwan systems. The western media has a system called the 5-eye alliance. One news is automatically shared with the other four often with little change if any. The western media has been operating smears for decades so it is automatic as well as air tight. Having been to Chinese, Taiwanese, South Korean and Japanese metro I consider they are all superior to the western systems in the US or UK and much cheaper too. In term of modern features, space, scale and cost China is definitely leading. Tokyo metro is also well linked with malls, shops and underground giant complex whereas China has more cities developed and integrated with the metro.
@@piroskawong3374Taiwan has their own laws and president. They basically function like what a sovereign country does. And they double China's gdp per capita.
Because Taiwan is influenced by the thinking of the West, especially the United States, it is this bias towards its own home country. But we still consider most of Taiwan as our compatriots
Having small shops inside the subway station is actually a great business model. In Hong Kong the MTR is one of the most profitable state/city metro/subway enterprises because of the fact they lease part of the space to small/medium sized businesses.
But Hong Kong MTR makes use of every inch to make money. In Shenzhen, every subway station has a toilet, but HK MRT would rather use the space for business. I am a HKer, I prefer a toilet to a stall.
@@sunnywu2464 There is the little different detail what a capitalist city be like. To an extreme they would use every inch of space to make a buck. May be is safer not having toilet there so they don't get mugged. 😂 Since HK still not under China's full control.
It's mind blowing to hear that China metro is on par with Japan metro. There's always lots of praise for Japanese transit system as being the best & on time to the second.
I was in Beijing few years ago and for the first time I took subway to most places. The inconvenience is the need to scan the bags, etc. whenever entering the subway. However, I know it's for safety & I actually appreciate to ensure no dangerous items are being brought into the subway/on trains.
Yeah, every city’s subway you have to scan your bag. It can be super super annoying, which is why I usually bring a small tote bag most places these days
As a Chinese living in Shanghai all these years, I didn't even realize China is that advanced compared to the rest of the world, I got these ideas from you guys sharing about China on RUclips, I was like, wow, really. I guess, we got so used to this and didn't even know.😂😂😂😂😂 Like taking the subway everyday, and taking the fast train whatever, just no feeling, you guys like it's all so good...😂😂😂😂 Now living in America, the country is like dead to me in many ways.
Thanks for your video. however I suggest that the subtitles indicate mainland China, so that Chinese audiences in Greater China will be more emotionally acceptable.
Your friend should try out some local shanghai delicacies. The most under rated ones that I strongly recommend is the Shanghai meat pie (xian rou yue bing) . Cheap and delicious
To be fair the New York subway has a very nostalgic charm to it, a charm that the Chinese subway will bring 50 years from now, provided the us doesn’t bomb it to pieces before then

UK need build more bridges and transport links, for example, from another side of Thames river people are depending on two tunnels and Woolwich ferry, if one of the tunnel closed, then people need drive to such very long way ( up to 10 miles) to get to another side of the Thames..
It's actually a requirement when posting a video about life in China to compare it to either the US or Japan to gain traction. Comparing China's metro to Japan is clearly a submission that Japan is the standard.
Have you watched Bernie Sanders Addresses Oxford University video? It's very informative. One thing said was 8 media companies controlled 90% of media. Some of them own major publishers of all kinds of books including children books and textbooks.

Japan gets a good press probably because it’s a western ally. My experience in Kyoto confirms Ryan’s view that the people are not overly helpful. We travelled with friends who are members of this hotel chain. Although our room was ready at 15.00 the receptionist said we couldn’t check in until 16.00 because we’re non-members. Even when we returned to counter at 16.00, the receptionist made the point of checking the clock before giving us the room key!
When we visited Japan, a few restaurants did not allow us to dine in, but let Japanese people in. I agree that Japan gets great pr cause they're part of the G7
"People are not overly helpful" you act like the citizens of Kyoto owe you some help. Well they don't, Louise. Btw Chinese tourists have the reputation for being loud and no manners, work on that.
I really liked the questionsd posed, not so much the back ground noise - it was a bit distracting.. i read reports of the various age of mandatory retirement in China, e.g. 50 for blue collar workers, and different ages for other professions, maybe it be a topic you can explore with the locals for the audience outsids China. Thanks! 👍🎆
For the age of retirement, it is 60 for male in China. For female, it is 55 or 50 with or without college and university degrees. There are some exception for certain kind of jobs. For example, people working in some dangerous working enviornments are allowed to retire younger. One friend of mine retired when she was just 48 and started to get her pension every month without the need to do anything.
@@kr8972 Thank you for this information. If you have time and know the answer to this question... "What about foreign English teachers teaching in China, can you work beyond the age of 60 in China?" If not, are there exceptions for example if they're teaching English at the university level, teaching something specialized like A.I. or related to microchip development ? 🕊 ☯
@@dyrectory_com I do not know the policy about retired foreigners exactly. However, I onced studied English in a global foreign language center almost 20 years ago in Beijing and the teacher, an American, was 60+. And about 2~3 years ago, I met him again in Beijing and he had been 80+ but was still working as part time consultant of several companies besides being an English teacher. You can try to visit Chinese universities' websites. Many of them are trying to hire native English teachers and you can try to contact them and ask if they will consider to hire a 60+ and what is the relevant policies and so on.
The concept of retirement is not to prevent you from continuing to work, but it means that you are entitled to receive a salary without working, which is part of social security. Of course you can continue to teach English or do other jobs, so you will have 2 salaries.
Taiwan has never been a country. In 1949, the former Kuomintang government, the Republic of China, was defeated in a civil war against the Communist government and fled to the southernmost tip of Chinese territory. Even after the founding of New China in 1949, Taiwan had to be liberated, but unfortunately, the Korean War broke out in 1950, and American fighter jets flew to the Chinese border and dropped bombs on border cities such as Dandong. The Chinese government sent reinforcements to the Korean Peninsula to protect the country and confront the United States. During the three years following the Korean War, severe natural disasters and adversity befell China, and Taiwan's liberation was delayed again due to complex domestic situations such as the Cultural Revolution. As China focused on economic development after reform and opening in the 1980s, Taiwan's liberation was delayed again. However, the world has never recognized Taiwan as a country, and most countries in the world have not established diplomatic ties with Taiwan. In 1971, the Republic of China was expelled from the United Nations, UN member states consistently recognized the People's Republic of China as the only legitimate government representing China, and a United Nations resolution declared Taiwan part of the territory of the People's Republic of China
Althgou Chinese government is very strict on regulating speech, but it is mainly on the aspects of politics or ethics, nevertheless, China is very open to advanced techs or cultures all around the world, more than Japan and most western countries. No matter how deep some countries, like japan, korea, philippines, india love the US, China is the one putting English education on the highest focused level.
There is more than one way to govern. We can continue to put staggering proportion of our spending to finance the Military Industrial Complex, keep 800+ foreign bases while our infrastructure crumples. Or be open to a new chapter where USA doesn't need to be ready to fight everywhere but neglect the basic needs of average citizens.
I've never believed anything that the US media tells us about China anyway. How expensive is it to travel on their subway system?? Everything looks expensive where you guys are at.
In Shenzhen, a subway journey of about 45 minutes (I don't know the distance) costs about 1 USD. A short distance of 3 or 4 stations costs about 0.4 USD. Free for those over 60, including foreign visitors.
9:14 A question about the generational difference in the 2016 Brexit vote. It seems the older generation is more pro-Leave while the younger generation is more pro-Stay (in the EU). So I am curious: Why youngsters there in the UK are more support integration while youngsters in Taiwan are more against integration. Beyond the explanation of social media narratives, how the motive of local politicians play in this perception?
The current ruling parties in Taiwan and the U.S. would gain political, military and economic benefits from separating Taiwan from the mainland, but these benefits do not coincide with the interests of the Taiwanese people, so the current ruling parties in Taiwan and the U.S. have been making public opinion propaganda that hates and vilifies China.
Young people being naturally more curious, like to venture out to other countries to experience how others live. Whereas older people are generally more settled and guard their lives more jealously. So for the younger generation being in the EU has its advantage of having more choices of employment and opportunities in countries with culture similar to theirs. A lot of the negativity generated before Brexit was the idea that UK has less control of its own national policies by being in EU particularly on immigration. Indeed EU politics was more dominated by France, Germany and Brussels rather than the UK. More EU wide policies were being rolled out across the union. That is why Brexit happened. However since Brexit was implemented, UK hasn't been doing so well which saw the exodus of many EU citizens and replacement by non EU citizens.
12:18 Japan has good PR because it's no longer a threat to the US anymore. Their image in the 80s were pretty bad when their economy was doing very well and buying up things in the United State.
When I went to to Japan, my experienced is same as yours, very difficult, they don't want to help and just look at you like you're crazy. No one speak english...
Thank you for looking at this country with rationality and an open attitude. However, China still has many areas to learn from other countries. It willing to accept criticism and take practical actions to make the country better. One more thing, I've been to the UK and stayed in Edinburgh, Scotland for a while. The people there are also wonderful and open-minded. China embraces people of diverse backgrounds from all around the world. We value cultural exchange, friendship, and cooperation with individuals from different countries and regions.
China is not a perfect country but certainly not as bad nor evil as some countries like to make it out to be. Hope there can be more discerning people like you out there.

A very authentic feel comes across in your vlogs. Thank you to both of you.
Communication is a good way to eliminate misunderstandings and misperceptions. Wish you guys can enjoy your staying in China.
What communication? There are free media in the UK, the U.S. and Taiwan but the so called ‘free’ is free to say what they want you to say only.
@@peterwilliams7335 That's why communication like travelling to China in person is a good way for ordinary people to escape from Western media's brainwash and control.
Harvey so proudly presents China to Ryan like he built it all himself. So cute 😄
It is so refreshing to hear and see what is really happening in China through people who are actually inside China and reporting China without manipulation and fabrication like the Western media do. Please keep up with the great work and keep us from outside of China informed about what is really going on inside China.
Netflixは191カ国以上で配信していて見られます。見られないのは中国 ロシア 北朝鮮 クリミア シリア です😂
Exactly, we need these independent channels to keep us informed! 👍
It is very exciting and refreshing to hear your friend Ryan's view on China. Hope you both have a wonderful time in China.
很高兴看到年轻一代用眼去看，用心体会。我们只是希望生活更好，而某些政客只是想操控人心独占经济
Thank you!!! The world needs more positive views like these!
The writing has been in the wall for decades.The four Asian tigers was just the prequel, the main movie is now the Chinese Dragon awakened.
Thanks for providing a nice western perspective to Chinese subways, especially the injection of the personal experience with the Japan and Taiwan systems.
The western media has a system called the 5-eye alliance. One news is automatically shared with the other four often with little change if any. The western media has been operating smears for decades so it is automatic as well as air tight.
Having been to Chinese, Taiwanese, South Korean and Japanese metro I consider they are all superior to the western systems in the US or UK and much cheaper too. In term of modern features, space, scale and cost China is definitely leading. Tokyo metro is also well linked with malls, shops and underground giant complex whereas China has more cities developed and integrated with the metro.
I see you champ those arms looking jacked
What a nice interview and lots of interesting personal observations! Thank you both and enjoy your time in Shanghai!
Ryan is so frank and honest. So is Harvey. Really appreciate that!
Thank you guys for telling us the truth.
Taipei or Taiwan it’s China 🇨🇳 ❤
Yes, Taiwan is a part of China.
Yes, Taiwan is one of provinces in China. No matter how Taiwan belongs to China.
@@piroskawong3374Taiwan has their own laws and president. They basically function like what a sovereign country does. And they double China's gdp per capita.
@@jsslgnguess what, Taiwan's official name is the republic of China😂
@@jsslgnfunctioning LIKE a sovereign nation, but not really a nation country.
Because Taiwan is influenced by the thinking of the West, especially the United States, it is this bias towards its own home country. But we still consider most of Taiwan as our compatriots
違うだろ。独裁国家が嫌いなんだよ。民主主義の国が独裁国家に支配なんてされたくないんだよ。お前は独裁国家しか経験が無いから理解できない。
Having small shops inside the subway station is actually a great business model. In Hong Kong the MTR is one of the most profitable state/city metro/subway enterprises because of the fact they lease part of the space to small/medium sized businesses.
But Hong Kong MTR makes use of every inch to make money. In Shenzhen, every subway station has a toilet, but HK MRT would rather use the space for business. I am a HKer, I prefer a toilet to a stall.
@@sunnywu2464 There is the little different detail what a capitalist city be like. To an extreme they would use every inch of space to make a buck. May be is safer not having toilet there so they don't get mugged. 😂 Since HK still not under China's full control.
Almost everything inChina is better than in Japan. Not also the modernity and the best infrastructure in the world... But also the people.
And in Japan, things are not cheap too.
Japan is super overrated. If there is one thing Japan is better than China, is their international marketing
nice questions about the cause of bias in the media
Great discussion Harvey and Ryan! I really appreciate your work in spreading the truth about China ❤
It's mind blowing to hear that China metro is on par with Japan metro.
There's always lots of praise for Japanese transit system as being the best & on time to the second.
China is the best! Many thanks Harvey 🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳☕️☕️☕️🎼🎹
I was in Beijing few years ago and for the first time I took subway to most places.
The inconvenience is the need to scan the bags, etc. whenever entering the subway. However, I know it's for safety & I actually appreciate to ensure no dangerous items are being brought into the subway/on trains.
Yeah, every city’s subway you have to scan your bag. It can be super super annoying, which is why I usually bring a small tote bag most places these days
Great videos. Thank you for telling the world what the real China looks like
As a Chinese living in Shanghai all these years, I didn't even realize China is that advanced compared to the rest of the world, I got these ideas from you guys sharing about China on RUclips, I was like, wow, really. I guess, we got so used to this and didn't even know.😂😂😂😂😂
Like taking the subway everyday, and taking the fast train whatever, just no feeling, you guys like it's all so good...😂😂😂😂
Now living in America, the country is like dead to me in many ways.
Thanks for showing the real modern China to the world and also share your personal thoughts, have fun there!
Great video ❤❤❤. You got a new subscription.
Greeting to you Harvey and Ryan from the UK =) Like your channel. Thanks for sharing what's real there.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing
Great video on the Chinese MRT.
excellent presentations。
Thanks for your video. however I suggest that the subtitles indicate mainland China, so that Chinese audiences in Greater China will be more emotionally acceptable.
Agree, Taiwan is part of China
Nice PRX btw! ❤
Love your video ❤❤
Your friend should try out some local shanghai delicacies. The most under rated ones that I strongly recommend is the Shanghai meat pie (xian rou yue bing) . Cheap and delicious
You guys should try the New York subway. It'll blow your minds!
Yeah, a bullet will literally blow your mind in NY subway if you're not careful.😂
If am considering suicide, I may consider going to NY subway one day.
@@baichuanren885😂
To be fair the New York subway has a very nostalgic charm to it, a charm that the Chinese subway will bring 50 years from now, provided the us doesn’t bomb it to pieces before then
China infrastructure is insain, one of the best (if not the best) in the world.
2:45: yes 🚽 easily available!! Very good and they better do otherwise some (not all ) people from "somekind of background" will just dump anywhere!! Yes it's true!!
Good stuff
Both Japan and China has the best transportation system in the world. Asia is the best!!!!!
UK need build more bridges and transport links, for example, from another side of Thames river people are depending on two tunnels and Woolwich ferry, if one of the tunnel closed, then people need drive to such very long way ( up to 10 miles) to get to another side of the Thames..
It's actually a requirement when posting a video about life in China to compare it to either the US or Japan to gain traction. Comparing China's metro to Japan is clearly a submission that Japan is the standard.
you two are very smart people to see the turth of medias
Have you watched Bernie Sanders Addresses Oxford University video? It's very informative. One thing said was 8 media companies controlled 90% of media. Some of them own major publishers of all kinds of books including children books and textbooks. Disney is big propagandist. 2008 Iron Man-Tony Stark is an Ivy League playboy inherited a weapon company from rich dad who invented the atom bomb and won the war. Government contracts paid for his big house, cool cars and unlimited supply of playmates, all legitimate and celebrated. Irritated by CNN, Tony suited up in supersonic to go take out bearded terrorists in Afghanistan complimented with Rock&Roll. Before Marvel you sure have watched Snow White. They capture your hearts before executing your souls. That, is MSM.
just come to shenzhen buddy, I will go to pick you guys up
I am a Shanghai person ,
welcome to the SH city
In fact , I really Love VanGogh
Life should be Colorful and Sweet

That's Why I love VanGogh so much
Loving Vincent , always
I thought subway is called MRT only in Singapore😅
Japan gets a good press probably because it’s a western ally. My experience in Kyoto confirms Ryan’s view that the people are not overly helpful. We travelled with friends who are members of this hotel chain. Although our room was ready at 15.00 the receptionist said we couldn’t check in until 16.00 because we’re non-members. Even when we returned to counter at 16.00, the receptionist made the point of checking the clock before giving us the room key!
同盟国とか関係ないよ。中国は相手国に居丈高に振る舞ってるくせに自国が嫌われてる理由が 理解できない 理解しようとしない。まさに嫌われ者の特徴だね。
When we visited Japan, a few restaurants did not allow us to dine in, but let Japanese people in.
I agree that Japan gets great pr cause they're part of the G7
"People are not overly helpful" you act like the citizens of Kyoto owe you some help. Well they don't, Louise. Btw Chinese tourists have the reputation for being loud and no manners, work on that.

Ok apart from china being safe and livable,I dunno why nobody said that You and your friend is so freaking cute and handsome 😐
It's kind of western shock😅
I really liked the questionsd posed, not so much the back ground noise - it was a bit distracting.. i read reports of the various age of mandatory retirement in China, e.g. 50 for blue collar workers, and different ages for other professions, maybe it be a topic you can explore with the locals for the audience outsids China. Thanks! 👍🎆
For the age of retirement, it is 60 for male in China. For female, it is 55 or 50 with or without college and university degrees. There are some exception for certain kind of jobs. For example, people working in some dangerous working enviornments are allowed to retire younger. One friend of mine retired when she was just 48 and started to get her pension every month without the need to do anything.
@@kr8972 Thank you for this information. If you have time and know the answer to this question... "What about foreign English teachers teaching in China, can you work beyond the age of 60 in China?" If not, are there exceptions for example if they're teaching English at the university level, teaching something specialized like A.I. or related to microchip development ? 🕊 ☯
P.S. Quora has a few group dedicated to China. I encourage everyone to take a peek at these groups. 🦉
@@dyrectory_com I do not know the policy about retired foreigners exactly. However, I onced studied English in a global foreign language center almost 20 years ago in Beijing and the teacher, an American, was 60+. And about 2~3 years ago, I met him again in Beijing and he had been 80+ but was still working as part time consultant of several companies besides being an English teacher. You can try to visit Chinese universities' websites. Many of them are trying to hire native English teachers and you can try to contact them and ask if they will consider to hire a 60+ and what is the relevant policies and so on.
The concept of retirement is not to prevent you from continuing to work, but it means that you are entitled to receive a salary without working, which is part of social security. Of course you can continue to teach English or do other jobs, so you will have 2 salaries.
Taiwan has never been a country. In 1949, the former Kuomintang government, the Republic of China, was defeated in a civil war against the Communist government and fled to the southernmost tip of Chinese territory. Even after the founding of New China in 1949, Taiwan had to be liberated, but unfortunately, the Korean War broke out in 1950, and American fighter jets flew to the Chinese border and dropped bombs on border cities such as Dandong. The Chinese government sent reinforcements to the Korean Peninsula to protect the country and confront the United States. During the three years following the Korean War, severe natural disasters and adversity befell China, and Taiwan's liberation was delayed again due to complex domestic situations such as the Cultural Revolution. As China focused on economic development after reform and opening in the 1980s, Taiwan's liberation was delayed again. However, the world has never recognized Taiwan as a country, and most countries in the world have not established diplomatic ties with Taiwan. In 1971, the Republic of China was expelled from the United Nations, UN member states consistently recognized the People's Republic of China as the only legitimate government representing China, and a United Nations resolution declared Taiwan part of the territory of the People's Republic of China
Fun fact: Shanghai has the longest subway line in the world, still expanding, so many lines. I'm stuck in Vancouver, jealous of you guys 😢
Your friend looks good too
Hi from Uk 🇬🇧 how did you use the phone on the metro?
Althgou Chinese government is very strict on regulating speech, but it is mainly on the aspects of politics or ethics, nevertheless, China is very open to advanced techs or cultures all around the world, more than Japan and most western countries. No matter how deep some countries, like japan, korea, philippines, india love the US, China is the one putting English education on the highest focused level.
Impressive young men have ope-minded.
There is more than one way to govern. We can continue to put staggering proportion of our spending to finance the Military Industrial Complex, keep 800+ foreign bases while our infrastructure crumples. Or be open to a new chapter where USA doesn't need to be ready to fight everywhere but neglect the basic needs of average citizens.
Thank
I've never believed anything that the US media tells us about China anyway. How expensive is it to travel on their subway system?? Everything looks expensive where you guys are at.
In Shenzhen, a subway journey of about 45 minutes (I don't know the distance) costs about 1 USD. A short distance of 3 or 4 stations costs about 0.4 USD. Free for those over 60, including foreign visitors.
@@sunnywu2464 wow that is nice, I will go there when I am 60 :D
Don’t worry transportation in China is very cheap. You should visit China one day and see for yourself.
In China, nobody will push you into the subway. 😂😂😂
Wow the comment section is a goldmine. Lots of people sharing their experience with pro- or anti-China transformation.
9:14 A question about the generational difference in the 2016 Brexit vote. It seems the older generation is more pro-Leave while the younger generation is more pro-Stay (in the EU). So I am curious: Why youngsters there in the UK are more support integration while youngsters in Taiwan are more against integration. Beyond the explanation of social media narratives, how the motive of local politicians play in this perception?
The current ruling parties in Taiwan and the U.S. would gain political, military and economic benefits from separating Taiwan from the mainland, but these benefits do not coincide with the interests of the Taiwanese people, so the current ruling parties in Taiwan and the U.S. have been making public opinion propaganda that hates and vilifies China.
Young people being naturally more curious, like to venture out to other countries to experience how others live. Whereas older people are generally more settled and guard their lives more jealously. So for the younger generation being in the EU has its advantage of having more choices of employment and opportunities in countries with culture similar to theirs. A lot of the negativity generated before Brexit was the idea that UK has less control of its own national policies by being in EU particularly on immigration. Indeed EU politics was more dominated by France, Germany and Brussels rather than the UK. More EU wide policies were being rolled out across the union. That is why Brexit happened. However since Brexit was implemented, UK hasn't been doing so well which saw the exodus of many EU citizens and replacement by non EU citizens.

You can watch the Japan Reporter on why Japanese people actually don't like to help people.
you know China and Chinese pretty well.the province of taiwan
👍
12:18 Japan has good PR because it's no longer a threat to the US anymore. Their image in the 80s were pretty bad when their economy was doing very well and buying up things in the United State.
Both guys are cute 😂
Good. Show❤
When I went to to Japan, my experienced is same as yours, very difficult, they don't want to help and just look at you like you're crazy. No one speak english...

中国人は皆 英語喋れるの？
@@海六郎 Not all Chinese people speak English, but they are generally more outgoing than Japanese and willing to help.

Thank you for looking at this country with rationality and an open attitude. However, China still has many areas to learn from other countries. It willing to accept criticism and take practical actions to make the country better.
One more thing, I've been to the UK and stayed in Edinburgh, Scotland for a while. The people there are also wonderful and open-minded.
China embraces people of diverse backgrounds from all around the world. We value cultural exchange, friendship, and cooperation with individuals from different countries and regions.
