This report deserved better than the clickbait title it was given. I almost didn't click on it, but I'm glad I did. Seeing how people live in rural China was very interesting.
Yes, the moment you realize this deep in your Soul.... your humanity heart has grown three times. Travel..... Get out to see other cultures, traditions, and laws.
Thank you for the coverage! The village, the buildings, the dinner, and the smile on people’s face, this is how rural people live in China. Perhaps for many Chinese too. Hard-working, humble and willing to take a lot for their families.
Don't you just love how CNN twists its narratives? Assuming regular people as 'ccp officials' is the most baffling thing I've ever seen and heard. This fake news organization has been debunked many many times but still spreads worst than covid. Check out this similar fake title a couple of years ago covered by David Culver here in RUclips and you'll laugh. _"CNN finds stranded Uyghur children in China"_ Here's the same original 'undoctored' version _"Uygur family disturbed by CNN reporters asks son to return home"_
@TD DZ United Satans of AmeriKKKa is very powerful and wealthiest country on earth. But, you will find hundreds of thousands if not millions poor, homeless, jobless, penniless, low educated, drug-addicts on the streets everywhere!! So?? Where all the money goes?? At least in China, the bad evil "CCP" successfully eradicate abject poverty and lifted out 800 millions of Chinese from poverty!! In United Satans of AmeriKKKa, there are around 40-45 millions people living under poverty line!! They can't afford to pay rent, utility bills, education and healthcare!! So???
@@chenge221 Yes, it is. But you are not entirely correct. The correct name is CPC, Communist Party of China, or Civilization Party of China to be precise!!
I'm very impressed with this report, and saying something positive about a CNN story was not something I would've expected of myself this morning. Very glad I watched this, and Selina Wang did an outstanding job with her work on this project. KEEP HER EMPLOYED, CNN!!!
[Qin Hui: The closest thing to China's urban and rural dual registered residence system is the former apartheid system of South African whites against blacks. The common characteristics behind them are the inequality of low human rights, no property rights and public services.] The most fundamental reasons behind China's registered residence system are three inequalities: the first is the inequality of human rights, especially the lack of secure housing and residency rights for Chinese migrant workers in cities. The second issue is unequal property rights, as the land of Chinese farmers is not their true property and belongs to collective land owned by the state. The third issue is inequality in public services, where government officials, senior officials, urban residents, and farmers enjoy a huge gap in unfair social welfare benefits. Today, China's negative welfare system has increased the wealth gap and urban-rural polarization. Especially in the context of economic globalization in the 21st century, China's negative welfare system and low human rights advantages have become even greater. This has led to the exploitation and enslavement of the vulnerable groups of most of China's lower class farmers, resulting in the emergence of red sweatshops that exploit Chinese migrant workers more than capitalist sweatshops. If free and democratic countries around the world cannot unite to exert pressure on the Chinese government to improve the human rights and welfare treatment of Chinese migrant workers, then the labor welfare treatment of free and democratic countries will be affected and they will have to lower their human rights and welfare treatment to align with Chinese migrant workers. For a government with unlimited power, unlimited accountability can be exercised until it cannot bear it. The way out for China still lies in a gradual and peaceful transformation, with two key points: first, limiting the government's power; Secondly, the common people should vigorously seek welfare from the government. By achieving these two points, the ideal constitutionalism and democracy will also come. I think pressure can be continuously applied in both aspects. Gradually improve one thing at a time. The biggest problem that ultimately leads to the current system is the problem of too much power and too little responsibility, constantly being compressed.

@@holiday8473not sure I agree. To overthrow communism usually requires rebellion, revolution, and bloodshed on both sides; at least history shows us this whether it succeeded or not.
@@erikswanson5753 many villages like this in China ,you should come have a look !! Han Chinese is sometimes wrongly used to describe one ethnic group in China . Actually the Han Dynasty conquered the Qin Empire . It is really an empire not a type or DNA of people . Most Chinese consider themselves Han Chinese whether they come from hilltribes or flat areas of the yellow river. Ethnic groups can still be Han Chinese, [Hanyu] as they were also part of the Han dynasty empire. What makes China so amazing is the differences right across the country , the languages are more than 300 , then there is dialects in every small town . Bloody mindblowing when you are trying to communicate !!🤣🤣
@Keyboard Emperor you have a little knowledge of Chinese history congratulations . However what i said is correct there is no Han DNA it is a : culture : pure and simple . It also encompasses many ethnic groups . That is what i was trying to explain . Regards Sean

Thank you for showing us this wonderful portrait of a traditional Chinese village and its inhabitants. These are people whom everyone would like to know and value as friends.
Have you seen the interview more than3 minutes? The government are literally surveillance the interviewer and even physically took a girl away in the middle of the interview. I won’t call it wonderful

Super nice report on rural China. The sweetness of these villagers and the aggressiveness of these government workers form a huge contrast. Respect to the people of China, for putting up so much.
LOL, will you say anything honest to your own media. What did Chinese official do ? they carry no guns and shoot nobody. I wish Chinese media could interview some Karens in the west and judge them. that would be delightful. 😆
@@Naturalicity lol I was gonna say the same thing. Those people are passive as hell. They’ve been oppressed so much by the government, it’s in their DNA, they call themselves chives, grass that grows in the ground. Those people need to over throw their government asap cause if they don’t, they’re all gonna die because of covid so the government can save face
Yes a moving video of actually getting out in a country and talking to the people. This is the way reporters of ALL networks should be doing in the US. AND THEY ARE NOT doing so. They only report about people who support their and their political parties narratives. This is a major disgrace of all networks and especially CNN, MSNBC and FOX. A moving video that will increase CNN's viewership is all they are looking for. US not so much.
I agree with you. It’s interesting also when even the reporter needs an interpreter sometimes because she said the villagers have their own language. I think some of the elders did not speak Mandarin spoken by the reporter.
@@straycatttt2766 Not many elders speak mandarin in Yunnan , they often have to use their children as translators, that of course China has done a good job of near 100% literacy rate (providing on campus weekday housing if very rural) and teaching one common national language.
I love old city and village, especially southeast asia and asian roof style, i remember when i visit west sumatra indonesia village called "Rumah seribu gadang Solok". most of the village still in traditional architecture, in Java Island i have visit "kampung majapahit" and 'Kampung naga" and one in Malaysia in Melaka "kampung morten melaka", the village today become more smaller and smaller. and replace with european and modern style architecture.
😒 Yes, much easier to help spread CCP propaganda that way. This is just one ethic group among the 1000 like recent Tibet that China conquered, absorbed, and erased.
@@straycatttt2766 Yeah decades ago I seem to recall learning there were something like 40 different regional Chinese dialects more or less. If I'm not mistaken Cantonese is (or at least was) the most popular by number of speakers globally, but I imagine Mandarin has or is slowly overtaking that as well.
At 03:14, "The night when I returned home, I didn't arrive until after midnight, but my daughter - she insisted on waiting for me out there." - That nearly brought tears to my eyes!
@@chenge221 We can criticize the CCP without the need to vilify the Chinese people who are just trying to get by, like billions of other people all around the world.
This is same story to many migrants workers. Chinese or not. Sent to work far away from home to earn money. Only those rich enough don't do that. Those in rich countries surely see them working hard, toiling in conditions that they would not tolerate. But for them , it worth it to give their families a better life
This video illustrates just how fundamentally similar we all are, regardless of where we live in the world. We just want our children to be given the opportunities to succeed, and to be able to live in peace. Such a simple formula. This is a heartwarming video. God bless the Chinese people, from the UK.
There are many nationalists in China. That's what it means to be insensitive to racism. For example, there are many chinese people who believe that the Chinese are the best in the world
Yeah, but we cannot have multicultural societies. It erupts in chaos and destroys our countries and traditions. Look at Europe. This is just the fundamental level, family and community, but life is much more complex than that.
China and Russia support North Korea and help develop nuclear weapons. In September 2017, The New York Times reported that US intelligence agencies discovered that North Korean rocket fuel was coming from China and Russia.

(National Intelligence Law, effective 2017). Chinese citizens who do not follow the instructions and orders of the Chinese government will be arrested and have no option to decline.

These are being used as bases to hunt down pro-democracy activists who have fled abroad. Between April 2021 and July 2022, more than 200,000 overseas Chinese pro-democracy activists were forcibly returned to China by the Overseas Police Service Center to face criminal charges.

The students are being forced to follow the Chinese Communist party's orders, like participating in the Chinese Government’s overseas influence operations, gathering intelligence and stealing intellectual properties. The Chinese Government is exploiting students to steal intellectual property from the West. A guarantor of a student has to sign the agreement as well.

Having a reporter that speaks the language, looks like the locals and is familiar with the culture speaks volumes! Ms. Wang moved fluidly through the streets & was invited in earnest by the locals. They could trust her. This is why having a diverse workplace is important. I grew up seeing white reporters speaking English w/ translators while covering stories abroad. It always looked like the subjects being interviewed were uncomfortable and formal.
it would be better to have whomever is reporting actually report the news. The fact all those protesters are missing. I mean ALL OF THEM .. go look at any of the videos from the Chinese protests the past few months. Literally you are seeing dead people commit to their death. I am sure most are in fact still alive in Jail for future organ harvest... only the ones with poor organs or compatibility for donation will be outright killed.
It's so sad that they don't see their children for an entire year. 😢 I flew across the continent for work and it was hard being away from my 3-yr old for even a month or two at a time. I hope they at least have video chat.

I lived in Guizhou in 2011 and they are some of the poorest but most sincere, kind, and friendly people I've ever met in the world. Inviting her to sit down and eat was a daily occurrence, they love having foreigners and learning about your culture. The Guizhou saying I think goes you'll never have 3 days without rain, 3 coins to run together, or 3 minutes without a friendly smile.
@@electrictroy2010 oh you definitely have that. I would have certain "officials" sit in on my classes and check in on me. In general the people are just wonderful out there though regardless of the iron grip
@@Boristheborat well they check in so close now that every single chinese at those recent protests is completely gone and vanished... in the cases of North Korea and now China talking about the "wonderful people" is an insult to them cause more than wonderful they are being tortured and under real threat of death. I can see the British tradition of seeing kids in africa or india starve in food and in intellectual chances calling them quaint ... turned into modern americans saying that about india on tourist trips in in movies celebrating their wonderful spirits till "slumdog millionaire" showed a little reality. Now people isolated in their entitled luxury (real ALL OF US TALKING HERE) are looking at conditions we could not survive nor fathom (made clear by your stance on these things) continue that pompous entitlement. if you cared about and thought about it ... and they really were wonderful you would show more respect to their situation and challenges.
What an excellent report. You don't even need words to see how kind and welcoming these people are, and how happy they are to share their culture with others. "Time capsule" indeed!
you do know that is a fake piece right. China makes these types of fake showings ... they do not want CNN or us asking where all the disappeared protestors are... or all the missing kids
@@Naturalicity how so? Inquiring minds want to know. Yes, I understand the CCP effectively prevented interviews; that sucks, but it says more about the CCP than it says about the Chinese people, I think. Correct me if I'm wrong. Thx.
Unusual to see this type of reporting from CNN in China. Really enjoyed seeing the unvarnished humanity and community in the more rural areas. Really sheds light on why some people protested so hard against covid restrictions there if some workers only get to return home to see family once a year.
Because CNN is pure anti-china propaganda just as the other western mainstream mass media. Even this reporting is an indirect anti-chinese government piece, cherry picking a rural family who has opened their doors to the reporter to ignite chinese government criticism as can be seen in the comment section.
Her goal was in making the report was to find dying people, and sick. Yet was complete failure and come up saying that their is Chinese Agent spying on them. Especially the father in black jacket who is watching his kids. What a joke.
I feel so much for these families. Growing up I wouldn't see my mom for maybe a week or two due to her working and going to school. I still remember how she would smell and feel when I would hug her again and then she'd be gone soon. I can't imagine having to wait a year or more to see her. Being raised by my grandparents we had a very special relationship.
The cheap stuff we can’t get enough of on Amazon and at Wal-Mart is made by them. They sacrifice the best years of their lives for that stuff. But if their employers paid them more, our consumer dollars would abandon them.
Great little piece that taught me a lot about this little piece of Chinese life. At the end of the day we're all the same. We just want to take care of our families and do the best we can for each other.
No one should have to be separated from their children in order to provide a bare minimum existence for their family. This is a horrible way to live. I’m sure they’d rather be able to go home and hug their children at the end of the work day and make a decent wage.
Heartwrenching....I realize now...how very fortunate I was, to have three of my grandparents live with us as I grew up....I will always have those great memories...Treasures of my Heart...
You visited an almost empty hospital and you make up this fake news about “more silent people suffering”! CNN propagandists and liars, shut up with your fake news already. Your demonizing novels about China differs even in the eyes of blatant evidence. You just went to a village with most people not wearing face masks with China’s zero COVID policy, and you just visited a hospital which is empty, and you are being intentionally misleading giving out false information about “more silent people suffering”? Where are the “silent people suffering” in China, anti-China propagandists from CNN? China is not against journalism. Journalism should be reporting UNBIASED FACTS. CNN isn’t doing journalism, but propaganda and spinning narratives, being intentionally misleading in their massive mind control and brainwashing.
Really enjoyed this report thanks @SelinaWang, with all the tension between our governments (I'm Australian) and apprehension about the future its easy to forget the millions of people who just want to be happy, look after their families and live their lives in peace - just like us.
Respect hard. But maybe our north american govt should enforce the big corp human rights and environmental rights NA standards on their foreign suppliers/ factories.
I am so touched by this excellent report by Selina Wang and want to echo all the sentiments already expressed. Actually seeing the rural villagers celebrating and hearing how they manage their lives, given their difficulties, is heartwarming. I love that they spontaneously welcomed Selina and her crew to celebrate with them; I love that Selina speaks the language; and I love that she wasn't intimidated by the minders. Such an amazingly beautiful slice of Chinese rural life that we hear so much about, but never get to see. Bravo to CNN for getting this news and for the outstanding job of Selina Wang and her crew did in interviewing these folks. I feel such a connection with them despite the vast differences in our cultures!
She did telling you she trying hard to find death and suffering and she doesn't find it, so what makes this report she done a good one ? No propaganda for the job she doing.
@@xuansu9036 why?? did those normal civilian did a crime to need a lawyer/minders on their side when being interviewed??? which screwed country are you from??? oh I guess you're from China.
How exactly are they blessed? They practically live in slavery to the CCP. One time a year to see their children, even our prisoners see their families more often. Look at their nations wealth, then look at that town again. They live like that because the government pockets the wealth of the nation.
Blessed? Blessed would be being able to spend more than one day a year with your own children. Blessed isn't being in that situation because of the CCP's control and creation of the rogue capitalism police state veiled as communism/socialism.
Yeah, family is important to them. Even after migrating to North America. Asians and East Indians don’t have single parent households like many of us do in the west. Probably why they do so well here.
Beer produced in a state of art brewery under German brewmeister supervision costs around .50 cents a liter. Virginia seed tobacco cigarettes sell anywhere from .25 cents to $20 a pack. Huge selection like the magazine stand.
👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️Appreciated so much for your great efforts to have interviewed with the locals in deep rural areas of China. Thank you very much and love to watch more from you🙏🙏🙏
This is very normal in china, china is too big and unbalanced, if one can earn 10 times the money in the costal cities, many people will choose not seeing their families for a whole yr. In fact those kids have a name in china: 'left behind children' and it's a huge social problem.
How about your military/army people going to faraway countries for month even years, and some lost their life in wars that they don't even understand?? What is your heart feeling about it??
@@donnydrumpf9563 I feel Nothing. Absolutely NOBODY told them to go sign up for free benefits and the ability to tote an AR-15 just so they can say they are "fighting" for some bullshit freedom
It’s just not in China.. it’s everywhere.. ppl leave their kids to try to give them a better life. It was the same with me, my dad immigrated 3 days before my first birthday and my mom migrated when I was 3. I literally met my mom at 10 when she came back and my dad at 12 when I came to the US. I heard the stories.. my dad had 3 part times and slept at a park close to the job just so he can make it on time. And they sacrificed a lot for me. My dad passed away but I’m glad I was able to live with him and have a decade of memories. My mom retired and of course social security ain’t shit! So I care for her. I really don’t understand how ppl put their parents in an home for old ppl. I’m taking care of my mom how she took care on me.. I think this is why this report it’s really interesting for a lot of ppl here in the US. The US culture is mainly “Me” mentality and selfishness.
Just a reminder that there are such beautiful people in all parts of the world. I think we have so much to learn about giving, sharing, caring. Its amazing.
China has cameras everywhere, a full-fledged cell phone tracking system, and people are monitored by a government surveillance system. 🇯🇵🇺🇦🇹🇼🇱🇹🇨🇦🇺🇸🇯🇵 In China if you want to track a specific person, you can. When someone goes missing, the relevant information can be hidden by the Chinese Communist government so that the person cannot be found. In recent years, many underage students have gone missing. It is rarely reported in official Chinese media. In November 2022, the disappearance of a young boy in Wuhan caused great concern among Chinese people. 🇯🇵🇺🇦🇹🇼🇱🇹🇨🇦🇺🇸🇯🇵 China is a major organ transplant country. In the West, waiting for a suitable organ takes a long time. However, many Chinese transplant hospitals only take a week to a month to complete a match and find a suitable donor for a patient. Some even offer emergency transplants, in stark contrast to the long waiting times for donors in other countries. Some organ transplant operations in China have multiple matching organs on standby for each patient. Few Chinese voluntarily donate organs because the traditional Chinese culture highly values the integrity of the physical body. China has a long-standing culture of believing that the body is a gift from parents and heaven, and that the soul needs to be cared for and protected so it can be taken to the next reincarnation. Moreover, in recent decades, the Chinese government has not made a big call for organ donation. However, there are many organs available. Organ crimes in China were first exposed by overseas Falun Gong practitioners. Falun Gong practitioners and dissidents, many of whom were detained in prisons and detention centers, had their blood drawn under the guise of health checks. Some of them soon disappeared. Sources within the CCP system have revealed that many of the organ transplant donors come from these Falun Gong practitioners. Behind this is the organ transplant industry chain; the Chinese Communist Party's police, prosecutors, courts, hospitals, and the Triad of Chinese criminal gangs. 🇯🇵🇺🇦🇹🇼🇱🇹🇨🇦🇺🇸🇯🇵 Such practices have continued for more than 20 years since former party leader Jiang Zemin's crackdown on Falun Gong in 1999. Ordinary Chinese people are beginning to feel the expansion of the Chinese government's organ transplant industry. The organ transplant industry chain has also spread to Southeast Asian countries such as Myanmar, Thailand and Cambodia. The Chinese government-led organ transplant industry will use the big data widely collected and generated during the past three years of the Covid pandemic to quickly identify specific organs and make more accurate matches. Matches to transplant recipients can be easily found from vast amounts of genetic data. Those identified have gone missing. There has been an increase in the number of teenagers who have disappeared. Evidence has been found to suggest that Falun Gong detainees were mass murdered for their organs. Massive disappearances of young Uyghur men, reports of routine blood tests of Uyghur political prisoners, reports of mysterious deaths of Tibetans and Uyghurs in custody - all of these people are under the control of the Chinese Communist government, are victims of systematic organ harvesting. It’s a crime of the Chinese government, a genocide committed by the Chinese government. There is a high possibility that Japanese people are also being targeted. 🇯🇵🇺🇦🇹🇼🇱🇹🇨🇦🇺🇸🇯🇵 The world will decouple from China and Russia. The world will put the most severe economic sanctions on China as we do on Russia. 🇯🇵🇺🇦🇹🇼🇱🇹🇺🇸🇬🇧🇨🇦🇪🇺🇯🇵
Where are you from? Do you not realise that the surveillance does not stop with following foreigners physically? RUclips, Facebook, TikToc is also monitored and local Chinese hackers try to identify people who do anything against the CCP. Then they are threatened, some have been tricked to go to China and are arrested at the airport.
Sending love to the Chinese people and everyone around the world. Being from the UK, I have already celebrated the arrival of the year 2024, and I hope the 2024 Lunar New Year will be fantastic for those waiting to celebrate it too.
We really do have it good here in New Zealand. We complain about a lot of things in our country but none of us have to travel 600 miles away from home for work and only get to see our kids once a year. That doesn't mean we should stop fighting for progress in our country, it can be better in lots of ways, but it's good to stop and remember that others are sacrificing so much more to live even half of the comfortable lives we live.
I wanna move to new zealand but I'm a farmer. I'm willing to work as long as I can eat and have a place to stay. Any ideas where I can find an employer in New Zealand?
I agree you should never stop fighting for progress. People who say "I live in the best country in the world" dont understand that when you start thinking like that, you can only go downhill and wont better yourself.
Comfort isn't the most important thing. Without democracy you have nothing at all. Never forget that you have a good life because you live in a democracy and not in a tyranny were journalists are followed, harrassed and not allowed to speak freely with whomever they please. China looks similar to the free world with all the capitalist perks of material things, but it's a communist tyranny.
You guys live in developped countries are so lucky . As a chinese, although I live a relatively decent life, I still face a lot of pressures from erary everything in my life. I hope that we can live life like people in developped countries one day.🥲
The joy of simple living, wooden houses, freshly grown vegetables. Great reporting. I miss my time living in China and plan to return to visit some day.
What I like about this is how it just shows the people. So often you hear people label and categorize other people such as to the manner of "Oh, those Chinese," or those "Russians", or those "Mexicans", but so often the people in the country are just good people who are trying to get to the end of each day. Sure, some countries governments are corrupt, and even "some" people in those countries are certainly bad (just like in our country). However, far more often people are so much more than just the label of their country, or their ethnicity.
I love traveling for this reason, meeting real people, they are not what the Media reported. After traveling all over Turkey for 3weeks, 97% of the Turkish are kind, helpful and hard working to solve thier daily problems.
Well, we have people in our country who are bad. And some governments are corrupt - ours is. But the Chinese government isn't corrupt or just that. It's a brutal, neo-Imperial, murderous regime. And their big problem with America, The West, our Allies, etc. isn't that we're brutal or murderous or neo-Imperial and in the year 2023... It's that we're not. It's not that we say those "Chinese....Russians....Mexicans..." etc. Like some of them say those "White folks"....or those "Westerners". Their problem with us is that we stand against them and their supporters. We might say those "Russians" or those "Chinese" or those "Mexicans", but I promise you - we are for them, not against them. We speak out against the governments of China, Russia, Iran, Mexico, etc. And their supporters do not. They don't care about China, Russia, Mexico, Iran or anyone but themselves. Neither do their supporters. WE care about the people above no matter where they are. And that is their problem with America, The West, our Allies in The East, and about everyone everywhere....Mexico, Central and South America, Africa, etc..... who stand for democracy, freedom of speech, and human rights. Not for oppression, corruption, brutality, or neo-Colonialism and in the year 2023. Or police state tactics. We stand together on that. You just want to divide us. Nice try. We'll prevail. We always do... Cheers! PS. This will get a down-vote from all the brutality supporters. ;) It won't get the likes the other comments do because they're generally propaganda of some sort attacking The West because we stand against them and their brutal regimes.
Qin Hui：“The closest thing to China's urban and rural dual registered residence system is the former apartheid system of South African whites against blacks.

For a government with unlimited power, unlimited accountability can be exercised until it cannot bear it. The way out for China still lies in a gradual and peaceful transformation, with two key points: first, limiting the government's power; Secondly, the common people should vigorously seek welfare from the government.

When I go to China with my wife for Chinese New Year and we go to the countryside where her grandparents live, its similar to this. Everyone is SO friendly, especially to a foreigner. You cant walk a block without someone trying to invite you for a bite to eat or a drink. I cant wait until the COVID situation is more under control, I really miss going there with my wife!
A lot of hard working people in China to provide for their family. Their New Year is more meaningful as they reunite with their kids/family … it’s an amazing story!
Thank you for sharing your adventure with us. Over the years I have come to love the Chinese people. Through you and others we have the opportunity to meet the true face of China. Again, Thank you!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😇
@@QuietJugung No thanks, Tankie. In case you don't know, it's possible to appreciate Chinese culture and the beautiful people of China without consuming CPC propaganda.
This is the real style reporting that major new media should focus on, Great Job Selina and i look forward to seeing more exceptional journalism by you in the future.
Journalism? She visited an almost empty hospital and she made up this fake news about “more silent people suffering”! CNN propagandists and liars, shut up with your fake news already. Your demonizing novels about China differs even in the eyes of blatant evidence. You just went to a village with most people not wearing face masks with China’s zero COVID policy, and you just visited a hospital which is empty, and you are being intentionally misleading giving out false information about “more silent people suffering”? Where are the “silent people suffering” in China, anti-China propagandists from CNN? China is not against journalism. Journalism should be reporting UNBIASED FACTS. CNN isn’t doing journalism, but propaganda and spinning narratives, being intentionally misleading in their massive mind control and brainwashing. There are foreigners living in China like “Living in China with Jason”, “Barrett”, “Travellight”, “Nico”, “Cyrus Janssen”, “Mamahuhu”, “Blondie in China,” “where’s poppy”, etc. Asian Boss is always interviewing people in China. You don’t see Chinese police following then around making interviews of people on the streets or making vlogs of China, because China isn’t against journalism and HONEST reporting that tells the truth, but against fake news, anti-China smearing and demonization, and demonizing China using the most negative adjectives. They are keeping their citizens from dangerous American spies who collect partial truths and spin them however they want making up fake news. I’ve been to half of China and I still have relatives living in China. You don’t see Chinese police following us around when we travel. They are only against American satanic illuminati propagandists and novelists like those from CNN, ABC, CBS, MSNBC, CBC, BBC. China isn’t against honest and unbiased journalism. China supports this. China is against dishonest, narrative spinning, anti-China demonization propaganda.

It helps that Selina Wang is so freaking gorgeous and sweet. You just want to have her come in and meet the family. This also shows the world would be a much better place if governments would just leave people alone ! All of us just want to get along.
No matter how poor they are, they don't blame anyone and rob others by force, just working hard to support their families. And I saw the kids are growing healthy and happy. So proud of the Fathers 👍😭😭👏👏👏💪💪💪🥰🥰🥰
Umm actually they would of the lived in any capitalist country. The only reason they don't is because of government policy. Everyone in China is taken care of, that's the priority
@@dipropraubha9434 Except all the people being exploited and robbed while having to "work" in Laogais. Or the other people getting castrated. But it is for sure better to live in China....
My experience with the real people of other countries has been like this. It seems as though the less they have the more generous they are. I've enjoyed many good meals as a guest around tables just like this. Learn the culture where you go. Many times refusing food is a great offense.
Me too. My USA girlfriend brought me to her rural hometown village in Trinidad. We stayed with her family for a few days, chopping sugar cane, slicing coconuts from treetops, driving around oxen blocking the road, eating hot peppers at a religious holiday party, running away from loose dogs and chickens.
Weird actually, that refusing food is such a great offense. If people are truly welcoming you, they consider you are not accustomed to their ways and food and respect that. Seems handing out food may easily be translated in 'see how good I am' and when such food (or drink) is not accepted, indeed, then it makes sense that is seen as offensive. We call that self-serving.
This is how humans have lived for hundreds of years. In close-knit communities, living off the land. I wish I had this man, when did it all become so complicated...
Excellent reporting from China your reporting is warm and friendly also concerning for others and very educating its like I did not want it to end , great job first time ever commenting on any news channel from overseas.
@@cachet633 There is a hidden agenda by CNN, remove Chinese culture globally, it is Chinese New Year, not lunar fxxking new year. One more time, there is no such a thing of so called [lunar] new year, do the in-depth research yourself, many other countries around the world are celebrating Chinese New Year, there is no lunar new year. It is a fake news, a lie. “A lie told a thousand times becomes the truth.” - Joseph Goebbels -- chief propagandist for the Nazi Party, and then Reich Minister of Propaganda from 1933 to 1945.
What a beautiful snapshot of rural life in China. Many of us watch youtubers who are foreigners married to Chinese and live in rural areas. Watching their life day in and day out is so refreshing. The wholesome, clean life and how everyone helps each other and are always sharing food is so nice to watch. Rural area living can be challenging, but the people are simple and enjoy the simple things. Its really sad to know that many parents have to work so far away. 😞
more sad that they have ZERO freedom and almost no food. WORST is all those protestors of late the fact they are all disappeared. what kinda self isolating racist delusional happyland do you inhabit bro? me, the chinese all of us would like you back in reality
Excellent Interview. I love News Stories about different Countrries. Thank you for this News Story on China & this Region. I enjoyed listening & watching this News Story.
Maybe 'cause in ironic part, you do know that the rural Chinese family/community in question, aren't technically Chinese by blood, i.e., how much of China's current total population are even technically Han Chinese at all--as opposed to subjugated, but over-glorified, 'ethnic minorities?' If you want more of this, 'heart warming' accounts of Chinese rural life, then you should be the ones most supportive of re-balkanizing China back to its original, pre-Han, ethnic, regional borders, hopefully preventing them from joining their 'Han" peers in the mass cremation trend going on in COVID China...
@@aslouie What borders, Tang dynasty borders? Ming dynasty borders?Han dynasty borders? Balknization is bad news for any country. I don't know if you've ever been to China not many citizens are supportive of balkanization. Also, you said it, "Han Chinese". That implies you can be Chinese without being Han, just like how you can be American without being native American. It's pretty racist to suggest that someone shouldn't be a Chinese citizen because of their ethnic background ngl.
@@yidminselaks Definitely NOT the dynastic borders. I'm talking about let the Cantonese have their own independent state, just as much as the Uyghurs, Tibetans, Inner Mongolians, Manchurians, the Szechuanese, The Jurchens, The Hui, the Hakka, Hokkien, Fukienese, even the likes of Hong Kongers, Shanghainese, Hainanese, etc... As for Chinese being against balkanization, is it because deep down, they know they can't scam other 'Chinese' from their rightfully deserving resources, from their own lands? There's a reason why I believe the more pro-reunification you are, the more corrupt you actually are. When you hyper-centralized all resources, money, etc... it becomes a magnet for the worst kinds of people, to steal from their fellow 'Chinese'--as if they're no different than any 'foreign devils' in which to swindle. As for being Chinese without being Han, well, I would like to take this even further; I don't believe for even one second, 25-50% of China's current population are EVEN Chinese at all. If you grow up in a traditional family home that constantly engrain in you to, 'remember, you are Chinese,' chances are, you're NOT technically Chinese, since that implies you can trace your ancestral roots all the way to the Northern Han Plains since ancient times; that's likely false, since possibly even during the first technical Chinese dynasty, how many other pre-Sinofied civilizations within mainland East Asia are also existent at the same time? Who's not to say a wider majority of so-called Han Chinese, are technically non-Han, non-Chinese--except being brainwashed ethnic minorities, denied of their actual history and culture, just so the establishment Han, can create a false historical narrative/excuse to rule over their neighbors, so as to exploit the resources many of said non-Han ethnic minorities, civilizations are standing on? So no, it's not racist to not only say you can be Chinese without being Han, BUT even more so to not be Chinese while being Cantonese--especially Hong Kongers, Macanese, Shanghainese, and many, many others, being illegally subjugated by a bunch of diabetic, megalomaniacal--but insecure, northern barbarian jockeys from Beijing.
You hate Chinese, it's ok to admit it. CNN is a malicious US media against China. If a child molester talking to your child, you'll keep an eye on him, too.
@@BiffTannenBTTF That's only your delusional opinion. When China's GDP exceed the US, you'll be even more hateful. 🤣 A lot of wealthy Chinese and even westerners are moving to China.
Gosh this made me homesick for my friends in China. I loved being invited back to their homes to meet their family and play maj jong with the grandmas and share their always amazing meals. What they can produce from seemingly nothing always amazed me. And such delicious food! Such a wonderful people, I miss the place.
CNN,BBC and other western media have a bad reputation on the Internet in China. They often discredit China; Add a dark filter to the video about China.
@@Lucifer-fj7mg I have my doubts that people can separate the two that clearly. Sometimes when you try to hurt the government, you also hurt the people.
@@Lucifer-fj7mg ...First, ...there is no CCP,..... you're using the anti China propaganda term. Second,.. 94% of Chinese love their government. So when you say you hate their government, you're actually saying you hate the Chiinese. You're another typical closet racist.

Chinese are very family oriented, which means elderly people provide huge support for grandchildren, younger generations take care of seniors, and so on. That is why it is very common in China that three or four generations live under the same roof no matter which geographical area or ethnicity you are from. It is still true even though China has been largely urbanized in the past forty years. If it is impossible to live together in city, they still try to live close to each other, say in the same or nearby neighborhood.
Western media, very normal. This is the traditional life of ethnic minorities, and it may not even look like Chinese people. In order to prevent the destruction of the local ethnic lifestyle, the Chinese government will try its best not to interfere. But under the Western media, this is described as the way of life in rural China, and it is very evil. This reporter may seem to visit with goodwill, but in reality, he is extremely ugly. The man who stopped the girl, I am 100% sure, was arranged.
The Chinese people, are among the friendliest and most easy going i have ever encountered. 18 years in the US Army, I had ample opportunity to meet people from a variety of nations/cultures. Nothing prepar4ed me for the genuine compassion the Chinese displayed however.
Man - I visited China for a few weeks in 2011 and I had one of the greatest times of my life. The people were unbelievably friendly, and it was frankly the most interesting visit to a foreign land I have ever made. I took the 14 hour hard seat train from Beijing to Xi'an and it was incredible. The political friction of the day sucks, but hopefully everyone can at least accept that the invidiual people are generally wonderful. Its something to realize - 'nations' get pissed off at each other... but really its just the 20 people who are 'leading' these places that decide that one 'nation' should be pissed off at another. A very strange thing.
It’s never the avg ppl that are the problem in situations like this. It’s the governments. Same can be said about Russia. Veterans of wars often talk about this realization after or sometimes during the conflicts. I remember a quote that went something like “the guy over in the other trench might have been a good friend, we may have common interests and had a pleasant chat over a beer, but, that day, we were enemies”.
Did you talk to enough people about how they feel about their government? I promise you'll very an interesting collection of responses. Government approval is one of the highest in the world, WAY higher than here. That should tell you something about socialist democracy. Btw, Cuban government has the #1 approval rating in the world
@@jeff3388 lol you clearly know nothing about these societies. People openly express criticism about their government, country, the US empire, a completely diverse array of thought and expression. For fucks sake they even allow neoliberal "thinkers" there (God knows why). The only thing they don't tolerate is fascism. How many Cubans migrated on rafts in the past decades? What percent of their population? Do you know? And when? Also doesn't do anything to the fact that people approve of and support their government, simply because they are directly involved IN it. It is a dictatorship BY the people and for the people
@@jeff3388 and you know damn well why they come here, the few that do. Don't fuckin play dumb. Savages and thugs do that shit. What we've been doing to Cuba ever since their liberation is just pure evil. Criminal, not just in terms of morality, freedom, and human rights, but also international law
This is just another reminder to me of how Blessed I am and not to take anything for granted. People complain so much about how much product America imports from China, but as we can see from this excellent reporting, it comes at a huge human sacrifice for those people to work at those factories that make the products. While many of us were not able to see extended family members or adult children who perhaps lived in another state/country during the pandemic, I can't imagine not being able to see my own minor aged children but once a year.
It is a sacrifice, but it's also a choice. By making that choice those people are able to earn enough to provide much better living conditions for their families. Congratulations to China for policies that have allowed the people to lift themselves out of poverty.
I am glad to see the people there are willing to share their happiness and culture. Thank you for the interview so we all known how good and fortune they are living in China now 😍😍😍 Love to see their smiles, so warm, happy and peace 🕊️🕊️🕊️
Truly! I haven't been, but my most well-traveled American and European friends always list China as one of the top highlights of their travels due to being enchanted by the scenery and scope of the country.
CNN is really disgusting. The person who stopped the woman was arranged by the program team. China is not like this at all, nor does it have such a rural and lifestyle. This is the life of ethnic minorities. You can't find a few throughout China, it seems that many people are even mixed race. None of them look like Chinese people.
Reports like these are important to show that people are pretty much basically the same all over the world . This report could have been done in a rural area of America and it wouldn't have been that different except for language.
I love the villagers' daily routine. It is similar to eastern part of Indonesia. The way they make the traditional woven clothes is just like ours. I am more convinced that we were originated from the same ancestor.
This report deserved better than the clickbait title it was given. I almost didn't click on it, but I'm glad I did. Seeing how people live in rural China was very interesting.
A simple " CNN reporter Selina Wang visits rural China at the Lunar New Year " would have been fine.

I loved seeing the Heritage cloth and hearing how it took so long to create. It is a shame most people don't understand the time in some old art.
Don't you just love how CNN twists its narratives? Assuming regular people as 'ccp officials' is the most baffling thing I've ever seen and heard.

These remote villages are so beautiful. Stunning shots, it almost looks like a movie set.
Yes. Very picaresque. I also liked the fact that the people in the village weren't Han Chinese. Really interesting.
@@erikswanson5753 many villages like this in China ,you should come have a look !! Han Chinese is sometimes wrongly used to describe one ethnic group in China . Actually the Han Dynasty conquered the Qin Empire . It is really an empire not a type or DNA of people . Most Chinese consider themselves Han Chinese whether they come from hilltribes or flat areas of the yellow river. Ethnic groups can still be Han Chinese, [Hanyu] as they were also part of the Han dynasty empire. What makes China so amazing is the differences right across the country , the languages are more than 300 , then there is dialects in every small town . Bloody mindblowing when you are trying to communicate !!🤣🤣
@Keyboard Emperor you have a little knowledge of Chinese history congratulations . However what i said is correct there is no Han DNA it is a : culture : pure and simple . It also encompasses many ethnic groups . That is what i was trying to explain . Regards Sean

Qin Hui：“The closest thing to China's urban and rural dual registered residence system is the former apartheid system of South African whites against blacks. The common characteristics behind them are the inequality of low human rights, no property rights and public services.”
The most fundamental reasons behind China's registered residence system are three inequalities: the first is the inequality of human rights, especially the lack of secure housing and residency rights for Chinese migrant workers in cities. The second issue is unequal property rights, as the land of Chinese farmers is not their true property and belongs to collective land owned by the state. The third issue is inequality in public services, where government officials, senior officials, urban residents, and farmers enjoy a huge gap in unfair social welfare benefits.
Today, China's negative welfare system has increased the wealth gap and urban-rural polarization. Especially in the context of economic globalization in the 21st century, China's negative welfare system and low human rights advantages have become even greater. This has led to the exploitation and enslavement of the vulnerable groups of most of China's lower class farmers, resulting in the emergence of red sweatshops that exploit Chinese migrant workers more than capitalist sweatshops. If free and democratic countries around the world cannot unite to exert pressure on the Chinese government to improve the human rights and welfare treatment of Chinese migrant workers, then the labor welfare treatment of free and democratic countries will be affected and they will have to lower their human rights and welfare treatment to align with Chinese migrant workers.
For a government with unlimited power, unlimited accountability can be exercised until it cannot bear it. The way out for China still lies in a gradual and peaceful transformation, with two key points: first, limiting the government's power; Secondly, the common people should vigorously seek welfare from the government. By achieving these two points, the ideal constitutionalism and democracy will also come. I think pressure can be continuously applied in both aspects. Gradually improve one thing at a time. The biggest problem that ultimately leads to the current system is the problem of too much power and too little responsibility, constantly being compressed. When it comes to matching power and responsibility, China's political system changes．

In January 2023, several Chinese Students at Lund University in Sweden were found out to have signed these agreements.
The agreements are between students and the China Scholarship Council or CSC. The agency is under China's Ministy of Education. CSC sends Chinese students to study on scholarships around the world including the United States. The CSC works with many colleges in the U.S. like Harvard, MIT, and UCLA. About 370,000 Chinese students in the U.S. on 2020. One in every 14 Chinese students in America
are sponsored by CSC.
The students must swear loyalty to the Chinese Communist Party.
"Applicants must support the leadership of the Communist Party and the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics.”
CSC asks students to submit periodic research reports to Chinese consulates.
The students are being forced to follow the Chinese Communist party's orders, like participating in the Chinese Government’s overseas influence operations, gathering intelligence and stealing intellectual properties. The Chinese Government is exploiting students to steal intellectual property from the West.
A guarantor of a student has to sign the agreement as well. Under the contract, that guarantor can’t leave China for over three months when the student is studying abroad, and the guarantor needs to pay scholarship payment if the student brakes the signed agreements.

Having a reporter that speaks the language, looks like the locals and is familiar with the culture speaks volumes! Ms. Wang moved fluidly through the streets & was invited in earnest by the locals. They could trust her. This is why having a diverse workplace is important. I grew up seeing white reporters speaking English w/ translators while covering stories abroad. It always looked like the subjects being interviewed were uncomfortable and formal.

How about your military/army people going to faraway countries for month even years, and some lost their life in wars that they don't even understand?? What is your heart feeling about it??
@@donnydrumpf9563 I feel Nothing. Absolutely NOBODY told them to go sign up for free benefits and the ability to tote an AR-15 just so they can say they are "fighting" for some bullshit freedom
Since 2001 I have lived mostly in China. Guizhou people are among the best I've met anywhere on Earth.
Huge lie
It’s just not in China.. it’s everywhere.. ppl leave their kids to try to give them a better life. It was the same with me, my dad immigrated 3 days before my first birthday and my mom migrated when I was 3. I literally met my mom at 10 when she came back and my dad at 12 when I came to the US. I heard the stories.. my dad had 3 part times and slept at a park close to the job just so he can make it on time. And they sacrificed a lot for me. My dad passed away but I’m glad I was able to live with him and have a decade of memories. My mom retired and of course social security ain’t shit! So I care for her. I really don’t understand how ppl put their parents in an home for old ppl. I’m taking care of my mom how she took care on me.. I think this is why this report it’s really interesting for a lot of ppl here in the US. The US culture is mainly “Me” mentality and selfishness.
Just a reminder that there are such beautiful people in all parts of the world. I think we have so much to learn about giving, sharing, caring.
Its amazing.
This is amazing......thank you for the interview Selina.
Um why isn't anyone talking about government agents following her?
China has cameras everywhere, a full-fledged cell phone tracking system, and people are monitored by a government surveillance system.
🇯🇵🇺🇦🇹🇼🇱🇹🇨🇦🇺🇸🇯🇵
In China if you want to track a specific person, you can. When someone goes missing, the relevant information can be hidden by the Chinese Communist government so that the person cannot be found.
In recent years, many underage students have gone missing. It is rarely reported in official Chinese media. In November 2022, the disappearance of a young boy in Wuhan caused great concern among Chinese people.
🇯🇵🇺🇦🇹🇼🇱🇹🇨🇦🇺🇸🇯🇵
China is a major organ transplant country. In the West, waiting for a suitable organ takes a long time. However, many Chinese transplant hospitals only take a week to a month to complete a match and find a suitable donor for a patient. Some even offer emergency transplants, in stark contrast to the long waiting times for donors in other countries. Some organ transplant operations in China have multiple matching organs on standby for each patient.
Few Chinese voluntarily donate organs because the traditional Chinese culture highly values the integrity of the physical body. China has a long-standing culture of believing that the body is a gift from parents and heaven, and that the soul needs to be cared for and protected so it can be taken to the next reincarnation. Moreover, in recent decades, the Chinese government has not made a big call for organ donation. However, there are many organs available. Organ crimes in China were first exposed by overseas Falun Gong practitioners. Falun Gong practitioners and dissidents, many of whom were detained in prisons and detention centers, had their blood drawn under the guise of health checks. Some of them soon disappeared. Sources within the CCP system have revealed that many of the organ transplant donors come from these Falun Gong practitioners. Behind this is the organ transplant industry chain; the Chinese Communist Party's police, prosecutors, courts, hospitals, and the Triad of Chinese criminal gangs.
🇯🇵🇺🇦🇹🇼🇱🇹🇨🇦🇺🇸🇯🇵
Such practices have continued for more than 20 years since former party leader Jiang Zemin's crackdown on Falun Gong in 1999. Ordinary Chinese people are beginning to feel the expansion of the Chinese government's organ transplant industry. The organ transplant industry chain has also spread to Southeast Asian countries such as Myanmar, Thailand and Cambodia. The Chinese government-led organ transplant industry will use the big data widely collected and generated during the past three years of the Covid pandemic to quickly identify specific organs and make more accurate matches. Matches to transplant recipients can be easily found from vast amounts of genetic data. Those identified have gone missing. There has been an increase in the number of teenagers who have disappeared.
Evidence has been found to suggest that Falun Gong detainees were mass murdered for their organs. Massive disappearances of young Uyghur men, reports of routine blood tests of Uyghur political prisoners, reports of mysterious deaths of Tibetans and Uyghurs in custody - all of these people are under the control of the Chinese Communist government, are victims of systematic organ harvesting. It’s a crime of the Chinese government, a genocide committed by the Chinese government. There is a high possibility that Japanese people are also being targeted.
🇯🇵🇺🇦🇹🇼🇱🇹🇨🇦🇺🇸🇯🇵
The world will decouple from China and Russia.
The world will put the most severe economic sanctions on China as we do on Russia.

Where are you from? Do you not realise that the surveillance does not stop with following foreigners physically? RUclips, Facebook, TikToc is also monitored and local Chinese hackers try to identify people who do anything against the CCP.
Then they are threatened, some have been tricked to go to China and are arrested at the airport.
Well in a totalitarian system, it's pretty obvious there are consequences.
Same here really strange, like it’s normal or something 😱.
Because CNN is left-wing and leftist viewers love government surveillance.
Sending love to the Chinese people and everyone around the world. Being from the UK, I have already celebrated the arrival of the year 2024, and I hope the 2024 Lunar New Year will be fantastic for those waiting to celebrate it too.
We really do have it good here in New Zealand. We complain about a lot of things in our country but none of us have to travel 600 miles away from home for work and only get to see our kids once a year. That doesn't mean we should stop fighting for progress in our country, it can be better in lots of ways, but it's good to stop and remember that others are sacrificing so much more to live even half of the comfortable lives we live.
I wanna move to new zealand but I'm a farmer. I'm willing to work as long as I can eat and have a place to stay. Any ideas where I can find an employer in New Zealand?
I agree you should never stop fighting for progress.
People who say "I live in the best country in the world" dont understand that when you start thinking like that, you can only go downhill and wont better yourself.
Now that you got rid of Horse Face maybe
Comfort isn't the most important thing. Without democracy you have nothing at all. Never forget that you have a good life because you live in a democracy and not in a tyranny were journalists are followed, harrassed and not allowed to speak freely with whomever they please.
China looks similar to the free world with all the capitalist perks of material things, but it's a communist tyranny.
You guys live in developped countries are so lucky . As a chinese, although I live a relatively decent life, I still face a lot of pressures from erary everything in my life. I hope that we can live life like people in developped countries one day.🥲

What’s up with the government minders?
@@user-lq9es6wm9s only for fake news CNN
What I like about this is how it just shows the people. So often you hear people label and categorize other people such as to the manner of "Oh, those Chinese," or those "Russians", or those "Mexicans", but so often the people in the country are just good people who are trying to get to the end of each day. Sure, some countries governments are corrupt, and even "some" people in those countries are certainly bad (just like in our country). However, far more often people are so much more than just the label of their country, or their ethnicity.
I love traveling for this reason, meeting real people, they are not what the Media reported. After traveling all over Turkey for 3weeks, 97% of the Turkish are kind, helpful and hard working to solve thier daily problems.
Well, we have people in our country who are bad. And some governments are corrupt - ours is. But the Chinese government isn't corrupt or just that. It's a brutal, neo-Imperial, murderous regime. And their big problem with America, The West, our Allies, etc. isn't that we're brutal or murderous or neo-Imperial and in the year 2023...
It's that we're not.
It's not that we say those "Chinese....Russians....Mexicans..." etc. Like some of them say those "White folks"....or those "Westerners". Their problem with us is that we stand against them and their supporters. We might say those "Russians" or those "Chinese" or those "Mexicans", but I promise you - we are for them, not against them. We speak out against the governments of China, Russia, Iran, Mexico, etc. And their supporters do not.
They don't care about China, Russia, Mexico, Iran or anyone but themselves. Neither do their supporters. WE care about the people above no matter where they are. And that is their problem with America, The West, our Allies in The East, and about everyone everywhere....Mexico, Central and South America, Africa, etc..... who stand for democracy, freedom of speech, and human rights.
Not for oppression, corruption, brutality, or neo-Colonialism and in the year 2023. Or police state tactics. We stand together on that. You just want to divide us. Nice try. We'll prevail. We always do...
Cheers!
PS. This will get a down-vote from all the brutality supporters. ;) It won't get the likes the other comments do because they're generally propaganda of some sort attacking The West because we stand against them and their brutal regimes.

Qin Hui：“The closest thing to China's urban and rural dual registered residence system is the former apartheid system of South African whites against blacks. The common characteristics behind them are the inequality of low human rights, no property rights and public services.”
The most fundamental reasons behind China's registered residence system are three inequalities: the first is the inequality of human rights, especially the lack of secure housing and residency rights for Chinese migrant workers in cities. The second issue is unequal property rights, as the land of Chinese farmers is not their true property and belongs to collective land owned by the state. The third issue is inequality in public services, where government officials, senior officials, urban residents, and farmers enjoy a huge gap in unfair social welfare benefits.
Today, China's negative welfare system has increased the wealth gap and urban-rural polarization. Especially in the context of economic globalization in the 21st century, China's negative welfare system and low human rights advantages have become even greater. This has led to the exploitation and enslavement of the vulnerable groups of most of China's lower class farmers, resulting in the emergence of red sweatshops that exploit Chinese migrant workers more than capitalist sweatshops. If free and democratic countries around the world cannot unite to exert pressure on the Chinese government to improve the human rights and welfare treatment of Chinese migrant workers, then the labor welfare treatment of free and democratic countries will be affected and they will have to lower their human rights and welfare treatment to align with Chinese migrant workers.
For a government with unlimited power, unlimited accountability can be exercised until it cannot bear it. The way out for China still lies in a gradual and peaceful transformation, with two key points: first, limiting the government's power; Secondly, the common people should vigorously seek welfare from the government. By achieving these two points, the ideal constitutionalism and democracy will also come. I think pressure can be continuously applied in both aspects. Gradually improve one thing at a time. The biggest problem that ultimately leads to the current system is the problem of too much power and too little responsibility, constantly being compressed. When it comes to matching power and responsibility, China's political system changes．
Shows that everywhere, people are just people, doing what it takes to make life better for themselves, their families, and communities. Thanks. Kind of fun to see the followers filmed and questioned.

When I go to China with my wife for Chinese New Year and we go to the countryside where her grandparents live, its similar to this. Everyone is SO friendly, especially to a foreigner.

You don’t see Chinese police following then around making interviews of people on the streets or making vlogs of China, because China isn’t against journalism and HONEST reporting that tells the truth, but against fake news, anti-China smearing and demonization, and demonizing China using the most negative adjectives. They are keeping their citizens from dangerous American spies who collect partial truths and spin them however they want making up fake news.

Umm actually they would of the lived in any capitalist country. The only reason they don't is because of government policy. Everyone in China is taken care of, that's the priority
Also they don't live in poverty. The Chinese took care of that problem ages ago. And most of the population is middle class
@@dipropraubha9434 Except all the people being exploited and robbed while having to "work" in Laogais. Or the other people getting castrated. But it is for sure better to live in China....
My experience with the real people of other countries has been like this. It seems as though the less they have the more generous they are. I've enjoyed many good meals as a guest around tables just like this. Learn the culture where you go. Many times refusing food is a great offense.
Me too. My USA girlfriend brought me to her rural hometown village in Trinidad. We stayed with her family for a few days, chopping sugar cane, slicing coconuts from treetops, driving around oxen blocking the road, eating hot peppers at a religious holiday party, running away from loose dogs and chickens.
Weird actually, that refusing food is such a great offense. If people are truly welcoming you, they consider you are not accustomed to their ways and food and respect that. Seems handing out food may easily be translated in 'see how good I am' and when such food (or drink) is not accepted, indeed, then it makes sense that is seen as offensive.
We call that self-serving.
This is how humans have lived for hundreds of years. In close-knit communities, living off the land. I wish I had this man, when did it all become so complicated...

Excellent Interview. I love News Stories about different Countrries. Thank you for this News Story on China & this Region. I enjoyed listening & watching this News Story.
Very family oriented people. Heart warming.
Maybe 'cause in ironic part, you do know that the rural Chinese family/community in question, aren't technically Chinese by blood, i.e., how much of China's current total population are even technically Han Chinese at all--as opposed to subjugated, but over-glorified, 'ethnic minorities?' If you want more of this, 'heart warming' accounts of Chinese rural life, then you should be the ones most supportive of re-balkanizing China back to its original, pre-Han, ethnic, regional borders, hopefully preventing them from joining their 'Han" peers in the mass cremation trend going on in COVID China...
Oriented people that stare at “black ghost “ so heart warming 🥰
@@aslouie What borders, Tang dynasty borders? Ming dynasty borders?Han dynasty borders? Balknization is bad news for any country. I don't know if you've ever been to China not many citizens are supportive of balkanization. Also, you said it, "Han Chinese". That implies you can be Chinese without being Han, just like how you can be American without being native American. It's pretty racist to suggest that someone shouldn't be a Chinese citizen because of their ethnic background ngl.
@@yidminselaks Definitely NOT the dynastic borders. I'm talking about let the Cantonese have their own independent state, just as much as the Uyghurs, Tibetans, Inner Mongolians, Manchurians, the Szechuanese, The Jurchens, The Hui, the Hakka, Hokkien, Fukienese, even the likes of Hong Kongers, Shanghainese, Hainanese, etc... As for Chinese being against balkanization, is it because deep down, they know they can't scam other 'Chinese' from their rightfully deserving resources, from their own lands? There's a reason why I believe the more pro-reunification you are, the more corrupt you actually are. When you hyper-centralized all resources, money, etc... it becomes a magnet for the worst kinds of people, to steal from their fellow 'Chinese'--as if they're no different than any 'foreign devils' in which to swindle.
As for being Chinese without being Han, well, I would like to take this even further; I don't believe for even one second, 25-50% of China's current population are EVEN Chinese at all. If you grow up in a traditional family home that constantly engrain in you to, 'remember, you are Chinese,' chances are, you're NOT technically Chinese, since that implies you can trace your ancestral roots all the way to the Northern Han Plains since ancient times; that's likely false, since possibly even during the first technical Chinese dynasty, how many other pre-Sinofied civilizations within mainland East Asia are also existent at the same time? Who's not to say a wider majority of so-called Han Chinese, are technically non-Han, non-Chinese--except being brainwashed ethnic minorities, denied of their actual history and culture, just so the establishment Han, can create a false historical narrative/excuse to rule over their neighbors, so as to exploit the resources many of said non-Han ethnic minorities, civilizations are standing on?
So no, it's not racist to not only say you can be Chinese without being Han, BUT even more so to not be Chinese while being Cantonese--especially Hong Kongers, Macanese, Shanghainese, and many, many others, being illegally subjugated by a bunch of diabetic, megalomaniacal--but insecure, northern barbarian jockeys from Beijing.
Sometimes living a humble life rich in family and tradition is a life wealthier than those who live alone with mountains of gold.

Chinese are very family oriented, which means elderly people provide huge support for grandchildren, younger generations take care of seniors, and so on. That is why it is very common in China that three or four generations live under the same roof no matter which geographical area or ethnicity you are from. It is still true even though China has been largely urbanized in the past forty years. If it is impossible to live together in city, they still try to live close to each other, say in the same or nearby neighborhood.
Not really, only people who are not well off live like that

Western media, very normal. This is the traditional life of ethnic minorities, and it may not even look like Chinese people. In order to prevent the destruction of the local ethnic lifestyle, the Chinese government will try its best not to interfere. But under the Western media, this is described as the way of life in rural China, and it is very evil. This reporter may seem to visit with goodwill, but in reality, he is extremely ugly. The man who stopped the girl, I am 100% sure, was arranged.
Great segment
The Chinese people, are among the friendliest and most easy going i have ever encountered. 18 years in the US Army, I had ample opportunity to meet people from a variety of nations/cultures. Nothing prepar4ed me for the genuine compassion the Chinese displayed however.
Man - I visited China for a few weeks in 2011 and I had one of the greatest times of my life. The people were unbelievably friendly, and it was frankly the most interesting visit to a foreign land I have ever made. I took the 14 hour hard seat train from Beijing to Xi'an and it was incredible. The political friction of the day sucks, but hopefully everyone can at least accept that the invidiual people are generally wonderful.
Its something to realize - 'nations' get pissed off at each other... but really its just the 20 people who are 'leading' these places that decide that one 'nation' should be pissed off at another. A very strange thing.
It’s never the avg ppl that are the problem in situations like this. It’s the governments. Same can be said about Russia. Veterans of wars often talk about this realization after or sometimes during the conflicts. I remember a quote that went something like “the guy over in the other trench might have been a good friend, we may have common interests and had a pleasant chat over a beer, but, that day, we were enemies”.
Did you talk to enough people about how they feel about their government? I promise you'll very an interesting collection of responses. Government approval is one of the highest in the world, WAY higher than here. That should tell you something about socialist democracy. Btw, Cuban government has the #1 approval rating in the world
@@dipropraubha9434 ? What do you think happens if they express dissatisfaction? Why do so many Cubans float across on rafts?
@@jeff3388 lol you clearly know nothing about these societies. People openly express criticism about their government, country, the US empire, a completely diverse array of thought and expression. For fucks sake they even allow neoliberal "thinkers" there (God knows why). The only thing they don't tolerate is fascism. How many Cubans migrated on rafts in the past decades? What percent of their population? Do you know? And when? Also doesn't do anything to the fact that people approve of and support their government, simply because they are directly involved IN it. It is a dictatorship BY the people and for the people
@@jeff3388 and you know damn well why they come here, the few that do. Don't fuckin play dumb. Savages and thugs do that shit. What we've been doing to Cuba ever since their liberation is just pure evil. Criminal, not just in terms of morality, freedom, and human rights, but also international law
This is just another reminder to me of how Blessed I am and not to take anything for granted. People complain so much about how much product America imports from China, but as we can see from this excellent reporting, it comes at a huge human sacrifice for those people to work at those factories that make the products. While many of us were not able to see extended family members or adult children who perhaps lived in another state/country during the pandemic, I can't imagine not being able to see my own minor aged children but once a year.
Keep eating Up US propaganda. It's only one side of the story.
Why do you assume the people who make their livelihood in the cities work in factories?
CNN just come to people house n creating problematik, its The host Choice to treat u… normalcy
@@Organizm1 Because they said they did.
It is a sacrifice, but it's also a choice. By making that choice those people are able to earn enough to provide much better living conditions for their families. Congratulations to China for policies that have allowed the people to lift themselves out of poverty.
I am glad to see the people there are willing to share their happiness and culture. Thank you for the interview so we all known how good and fortune they are living in China now 😍😍😍
Love to see their smiles, so warm, happy and peace 🕊️🕊️🕊️
Thank you !
Thank you for this reporting. It is important and informative, please keep it up!
so appreciative of this level of reportage being available on RUclips: kudos to the producers and crew!
Rural China is so beautiful
Truly! I haven't been, but my most well-traveled American and European friends always list China as one of the top highlights of their travels due to being enchanted by the scenery and scope of the country.
This report is so beatiful.
4:13
i hope u guys intend on making this a longer segment ! id love to watch an hour long version of this on tv or something ^^
Respect for the Villagers that work hard to grant a future to the children!!! Their lifestyle is hard but they never give up or complain!!!
CNN is really disgusting. The person who stopped the woman was arranged by the program team. China is not like this at all, nor does it have such a rural and lifestyle. This is the life of ethnic minorities. You can't find a few throughout China, it seems that many people are even mixed race. None of them look like Chinese people.
Such beautiful architecture in that village, and people 🇨🇦
CA is Canada lol
CN is China
This is not a common village. There is even not a new building. This is a relics protection village
Rural China looks wonderful. Not an easy life, but a life with purpose.
Honestly not even that bad. Compared to a lot of other places “poverty” in China usually looks very different
Reports like these are important to show that people are pretty much basically the same all over the world . This report could have been done in a rural area of America and it wouldn't have been that different except for language.
I don't think so. People in rural China have hope for their children, but rural India do not.
@@sjsupa typical Wumao
We don't know for a fact because they were being monitored by their government, so no way to know if they were holding back more of their lifestyle.
@@vladtheinhaler8940 ah yes, you advocate for freedom of speech yet get angry when others exercise it
.....and that in US there is zero culture
I love the villagers' daily routine. It is similar to eastern part of Indonesia. The way they make the traditional woven clothes is just like ours. I am more convinced that we were originated from the same ancestor.
A wonderful report on China! Very well done. Thanks.
Wow the CCP is pretty relentless. Props to this journalist. Such beautiful diversity the village way of life.
Very informative report. Good to learn a little about China. Thank you!
