Spent a week in Guangzhou before Covid hit and I was gobsmacked seeing what China was really like for the first time. When I handed cash to the taxi driver, he apologized as he fished around for change because he hadn't received his fare in cash in a long time. There were 24-hour convenience stores that were completely automated and unmanned, we were shocked as it meant it was safe enough to run this kind of business model without being looted all the time. We were off the typical tourist trails in the city and we didn't see beggars or homeless folks. Friends drove us several hours to Conghua and the highways were amazing. When we landed I really didn't know what to expect but by the time we left I was impressed. That was in 2017, I can't imagine what things are like now. We'll be going again to Zhejiang next month before relocating there for work in April. Pretty excited.
Thanks for sharing your story. Zhejiang was the first place I went to in the 1990s. And I absolutely fell in love with the place, more specifically with Hangzhou. (But not only Hangzhou). And yes, that was in the 1990s!!! Almost 30 years ago!
I took a very long train ride from Beijing to Hangzhou and Suzhou in 1991. Absolutely beautiful despite the summer heat. 上有天堂, 下有苏杭 (above, there is heaven; below, there is Suzhou and Hangzhou).
You could have seen all of this on youtube for decades if you had just searched for 'American in China or 'foreigner in China' etc. I am seriously shocked than people were too lazy just to do the tiniest of research and I am shocked that people did not know China was like this already.
Most people had no reason to search for that content. Why would they? Unless they're interested in travelling/teaching abroad which is very small % of people, it makes total sense why people are shocked now.
@ Most Americans don't get any view of China because they don't really care about learning about China. But maybe things are changing with the Rednote phenomenon.
Exactly. If people searched on RUclips, they would’ve known about China long ago. The good along with the bad. It’s still there. Now all they’re eating up is the Instagram version, Chinese style. FYI, there is no free universal healthcare, neither is there any welfare system in China. Do some due diligence. There are many suffering because of this. Many of these Red Noters are from well off families, who are in the party. They have free health care. Just seeing their apartments and how well they speak English is telling. The average Chinese still do not live like this. Even they would aspire to this lifestyle.
I was a traveler in China last year I had breakfast downstairs from my apartment and the cost for steamed rice rolls for $2 Canadian. So, it's not propaganda for any political stripe or color.
did you know how to speak mandarin or did you go full on english? how did that turn out, was most people relatively understanding english? I'd love to go to china, but I'd like to know the language first, at least a little bit. I'm french canadian, but I doubt they would know french more than english.
@@krymz1 Most of them don't speak another language that isn't chinese, so I'd suggest you to learn a little bit of chinese even if it's just the basics, also you can always use a translator but it just kind of breaks the flow of the conversation, but do not worry most of them are super kind and would try to help you in any way you need
There is always the numerous free translation apps like Google Translator to fall back on and it helped me in making conversations in China and they use it too to communicate with you.
I am browsing rednote. No matter which country they are from, everyone is posting funny emojis, funny jokes, and showing off their pets and plants. Fun and stress-free content. We all know what will happen next, so enjoy this moment ,enjoy the pure kindness of strangers thousands of miles away.Perhaps decades later we will still remember this hard-won, pure journey.This reminds me a bit of Lord of the Rings...
I am grateful and thankful that there are more people who are opening up to the real China rather than believing false stereotypes. Those stereotypes may have been based on how China looked 20-40 years ago. Even some Asians think of China in these stereotypes and are prejudiced towards the Chinese. Again, I am so grateful that people are learning more.
No, I don't think it is a case of not updating and keeping up with the times. For the western media, it is a deliberate attempt to show China in light light. Heck, you guys even have a $1.6 billion budget for this purpose. The BBC even to to the extent of putting on a grey filter when they show photos of otherwise bright and shiny China.
China was already well advanced 20 years ago. I visited Beijing in 2004. It was a modern city by then but some US propaganda video said it was still full of bicycles.
Indeed. Chinese people are some of the most friendly, welcoming, and generous people you will ever meet. Except... a lot of these "RedNote' videos are pure propaganda and don't give people the reality of the situation in China. In China, there is 'Face culture', so you will only ever see positive and beneficial videos. Everything negative is swept under the rug and never shown. It's a very unbalanced and dishonest view.
Mike Pompeo: We Lied, We Cheated, We Stole Biden: Chinese lack freedom to innovate Obama said "the planet can't sustain 1.4 billion Chinese having the same living standard as Americans" Mike Pence 'We rebuilt China over the last 25 years' Donald Trump: Calling it the 'Chinese virus' is not racist at all, it comes from China
I'm an Uber driver wanted an affordable EV for work so I could afford a minimum living, but the paid lawmakers wouldn't allow Chinese EVs in. They are protecting their shareholders' donaters' investments in all these legacy automakers. While these people are making money form the overpriced vehicles I have to work 2 jobs to make end meets.😡
you know that the Uber here is called 滴滴, All drivers use EVs, which only cost about 200 RMB ($27.5) a month for energy. I alway talk to the drivers about how the EVs helps their lives.
@ I think the Chinese government subsidizes electric vehicles for local citizens, making them more affordable. In Hong Kong, however, the price of EVs is double that of China.
@@7CoOl6 We allways use Didi or similiar car sharing apps to get to "neighboor" cities like Suzhou ,Shanghai or Nanjing, driving time is around 1,5 to 3 hours and we pay 50€ at most it is very cheap for a westerner, and still a hefty sum to earn for chinese. I guess its a win win here.
@@austin_316 China, North Korea, Russia and Iran have all attacked and continue to threaten the USA as well as Australia, NZ, the EU, India, Taiwan, Canada and RSA among others. And each other I might add. This is widely reported by news agencies like Global Times, Xinhua, RT, Al Jazzera, WION, et al.
Not really. Most of us want to focus on the issues facing us domestically. I don't think I have ever met a real, normal person who supports us being militarily involved in the middle east, or anywhere.
All these interactions are really wholesome and funny to me, seeing that I was a Chinese living in my home country before migrating to Singapore. Since I migrated from a early age, to be frank, I also didn’t know much about my country and how it stacks to the states. But this video really unsheathes the curtain and lets the world see what China really is made of 🙏
You have to know that a large part of Russia's resources come from China, so China is scolded every day at the United Nations by the United States and their European Allies, you read that right, they scold every day. Meeting every day.
@ArchsStanton I watch Rose a 🇳🇪 in China. Watch a lot of people. So interesting. Had a friend who traveled to China 14 years ago. He loved it. A big old redneck from SC.
@ArchsStanton yeah, but it's only half the story, Many channels on RUclips also show the other half that the CCP tries to hide. China claims to have eliminated poverty while claiming that poverty is anyone making less than $340.00 US/year or 2300 yuan/year😅
Any social media app is an echo chamber. If you like something, the app will give you more of it. Don't believe them when they say that they have been lied to. It's not their country's fault if Kim Kardashian has more followers than CNN. It's not their country's fault if they are toxic and ignorant.
Fuck off, just pack your stuff and go to China. You will see the reality. Take your revolution shit with you to China as well. You are lied about everything there - Do you know over 50% Chinese lost their jobs now could not afford mortgages and were forced to close their houses? Major the stores shut down there now. Don't weaponize RUclips as a tool to overthrow US government otherwise US would nuke you.
wait until Americans realize that their democracy only a propaganda to vote puppet A or puppet B of the military industrial complex, and their government print money by their debt, so not enough money circulate to pay the interest.
Foreigners benefit from immigration through better job opportunities, improved living conditions, and greater economic stability. Many immigrants, including refugees, can access better healthcare, education, and social services, allowing them to rebuild their lives and achieve financial independence. However, locals may face some disadvantages, such as increased competition for jobs, rising housing costs, and higher prices for goods and services. There could also be social and cultural tensions as communities adjust to new dynamics.
US government is like the corporations. They know how to spare you the salary at the line that they minimize their loss, meanwhile it's enough to let you live and not go on a strike/revolution. BTW, they can get their money back by selling other working class their goods.
IMO that was the problem, the American felt they are the best, the most moral, the righteous, the smartest, the most freedom, most innovative, the most educated, the most everything in the world and outer space. Blame it on the government, media, politicians, education system all you want but that doesn't hold water in this modern era anymore. Information is online for anyone, why didn't you see???
I think its cognitive dissonance. They know that other countries aren't as terrible as theyr told but they cant get over the mental block that only the us is the one that isnt horrible and a dystopia. No matter how much they see they won't overcome that mental hurdle unless they actively acknowledge the cognitive dissonance
That’s my ancestral homeland china 🇨🇳 ❤❤❤❤..been back there once and I was amazed and surprised that my uncles who are all brothers had a business and was doing so well that they became rich and get cos of that they have mini zoo..they own a mini zoo in our own backyard,..which is my grandfathers lands..before coming to Australia he left the lands acres of them to his younger brothers to look after..now his younger brothers families descendants are taking care of the lands and businesses.. the mini zoo..when I retired I’m gonna ❤move back there..to my ancestral homeland CHINA 🇨🇳…
China is now offering a10 days visa free to tourists to visit China..TIKTOK REFUGEES takes this big opportunity to visit China & see how modern, progressive, safe peaceful, beautiful & clean Chins is today….go meet some brilliant young respectful Chinese youth & know how the CCP takes care of their citizens healthcare etc. etc.
It is offering 30 days visa free for people from the EU (especially I know for germans) or if not 30 its at least for almost all EU countries 15 days visa free, I definitely know about germany, because I am german and get lots of visitors frim home this year XD
Wow the Post partum recovery in China hit me pretty hard... When I had my last C-section i barely got any help from nurses, my baby was crying and i called for the nurses for help, they didn't respond to the alert for almost half an hr, I struggled in pain trying to sit up (literally had surgery in the morning and it was late afternoon) I couldn't even sit up, reach into the plastic bassinet thing my baby was in. I broke down in tears, frustrated and in pain.. It was so horrible i didn't want to have babies again..
If you know how long the maternity leave in China is, you will cry, I got a 2021 China maternity leave table, the state with the least maternity leave 98 days, the longest maternity leave 365 days, 80% of the states are around 190 days. So Chinese women are still complaining about the lack of rest time.
The longest leave is 180 days,especially for cival servent and people working in public instworking.But women working in enterprises usually get 3-4 months leave, so they want more days ,as much as the civil servents.
@@chelvierith And how is China, under CCP control, doing? Lying to their own people behind “the Great Internet Firewall” and jailing or worse, any semblance of an alternative media.
@gravityissues5210 looks like you are willingly blind due to your racism. China's regular working class lives a much better life than America's working class. China's poor obviously doesn't live as good as the working class but they do live better than America's poor
@ Should embrace neither and have the facts to make your own judgements. Nobody said this is how all Chinese live. We all know China has people in poverty still. Look around at the other comments, they mention it too.
I dont think is bad. At least our future generations can share cultures and avoid wars. And i believe red note a bigger pond with much opportunity as investers will flow in
Americans i have a question. Democracy is in essence the government acting in the best interests of the people. Voting is only one aspect. If you vote a govt that doesn't act in the best interests of its people, is it a democracy?
A democracy vs a corrupt democracy hard to say. Like that could go with Communist vs Corrupt Communist. I'm in between and have no bias. I just want people to have the right information. Xi is too sensitive and China should have a bit more freedom to say things to criticize. Yes people can get manipulated but that is truly the most honest way to do it. I had many chances to live in China, I chose to stay in Canada because I do like my semi freedom of speech. I want to be able to criticize whoever I want. Shouldn't ban words like Winnie the pooh. If Xi changed the ban, he would be more respected in general. Chinese folks use VPN because too many things are banned. Just do what America does and flood platforms with some good ol propaganda. I defend China a lot against a lot of propaganda, but that's just a fight you can't win. They put in billions just for more propaganda. Some have changed but majority won't reply to me when I asked them a question that breaks their reality.
@@NephClips So Trump is pro H1B1, are you pro bringing in temp tech workers so they don't have to pay American wages or even employ an American? Wasn't the fight to raise the employment rate for hard working Americans? Elon said you guys also aren't the smart vs the Asians. Elon said you guys are too lazy to keep up with his company. Elon has plauded China on how hard they work. Let's have a civil debate. I'm pro having a good debate.
@@NephClips then my question is this. On illegal immigration he happens to agree with the majority. When trump disagrees with the majority do you feel he will side with the oligarchs or the people? It will surely be interesting to find out.
@ The Taiwanese government has convinced its people that democracy and freedom are everything, homeless so what? Taiwanese will argue that homeless means freedom. Sorry, I don't buy it. I have to take shower every day. To me homeless = no shower, no bathroom, no comfortable bed, and no money, how far can a person go???
Lol only americans celebrate americans. That's the first problem, they never bothered to look outside for themselves. Well Trumps ban and reinstate tik tok truly backfired. I LOVE IT ♥
As an American, even as a kid I could see how unfair things were here. You'd work your entire life and all it took was one bad physical injury and if your insurance didn't cover it, you were screwed. And it's only getting worse and worse. I don't understand how people can be proud to be Americans when the so called leaders of our own country are against us. How can people still believe we are so great when we have the strongest search engines in the palm of our hands everyday with information and statistics to say otherwise? People have become to complacent.
Most Chinese think that the United States has free health care and free education, high-paying jobs, and cheap housing, otherwise there will not be so many low-level Chinese who want to smuggle to the United States
this is a historical moment. and it is goint to change the world. we need a real Earth Village, where people respects each other's culture and live a happy life.
Why are Chinese people so enthusiastic about people from all over the world coming to rednote? The video introduces one aspect, and there is another aspect that is not mentioned. You can see from rednote's videos that the life of ordinary people in China is very convenient, with cheap prices, low medical and education costs, and convenient infrastructure. So those analyses that say 90% of Chinese people are satisfied with the CPC are not lies, but many people also know that the mainstream media in the Western world, such as CNN, BBC and some people who hate China, are slandering China on the Internet, As an ordinary Chinese, we see these false information and try to defend ourselves, but the discourse is controlled by Western politicians led by the United States, so it is useless for us to defend ourselves.and you people in the Western world also believe their propaganda and hate us, so we Chinese also feel very aggrieved. Rednote is indeed a good opportunity for us to truly show the lives of ordinary Chinese people and let those in the world who laugh at and hate China with prejudice see it. This is also the motivation for many people to welcome you and so many video bloggers who introduce their hometowns.
All of these “people” are just internet censors, part of the “5 dimes” (wumao). Paid the monitor the internet, block anti-CCP videos and regurgitate propaganda. Don’t believe it. Talk to Chinese people who fled China and Taiwanese people for insights.
Maybe its time for China to remove the Great Firewall. I don't think ordinary people in the western world hate Chinese people, but rather many westerners have negative feelings toward the CCP specifically, due to things like the Uyghur genocide, military invasion drills around Taiwan, etc. And Chinese people can't really join international discourse most of the time to give their side of the story because most people can't be bothered to VPN to the other side. Sometimes the Western world can be wrong, sometimes the Chinese government can also be wrong. But the firewall keeps us from fully communicating and learning from each other and learning the truth together.
Yes, all the positive and constructive reports about China are never seen on CNN or the BBC. All you get is the negative stuff. To some extent, ordinary people in the West are also living in a Truman Show kind of world.
US Debt: ~36.4 TRILLION (and growing fast). In 2024, about 60% of Americans pay federal income taxes. That's about 200 million people. 36.4T / 200M = $182,000 per taxpayer. Add all your other debts and then try to make me believe that the USA is rich. To compare, the Russian debt is equivalent to ~$2,000 per person, and health care is free.
Not all healthcare in New Zealand is free. Last year, I had stomach pain, and my family doctor told me that unless I was experiencing severe stomach bleeding or collapsed, the government wouldn't allow a free gastroscopy. In the end, I had to pay 2,000 NZD for the procedure. Additionally, I had some eye problems and scheduled a surgery, but I had to wait for 8 months for an appointment. New Zealand is currently facing serious inflation, with prices soaring. Young people can’t afford to buy homes, and a large number of skilled workers are leaving for Australia. This has led to a decline in the quality of healthcare and a shortage of medical staff. Two years ago, I took my girlfriend to Auckland’s central hospital at 1 a.m. for emergency treatment, only to find that the entire hospital, from the emergency department to the inpatient department, had only two doctors on duty. We had to wait for 4 hours before receiving any effective treatment, and the doctor misdiagnosed her, which caused her to lose hearing in her right ear. Of course, I’m not trying to speak badly about New Zealand. I really like living here, but due to the previous government's series of inactions and the global economic downturn, I can only say that life in New Zealand is unlikely to return to the peaceful and prosperous state it was in the 1990s.
The same in Russia, the health care is free, and you get money for the 1st 2nd, 3d baby. The more babies you have, the more money they pay. You can actually buy a house for a family. They l i e d to you about Russia/China for the past 80 years...
US spends 10x more than Malaysia per capital on healthcare Yet our healthcare system is superior to yours You simply walk into any public clinic, get treated within 90 minutes and walk out with 1-3 months of medicine if you have chronic condition You have higher cost of living, high energy cost, higher rental,higher transportation cost, higher cost of cars, higher fuel cost, Impossible home ownerships, higher insurance premiums In spite of that higher taxations, higher sales tax, higher capital gains tax, amongst the highest inheritances Both democrats and republican spend like there is no tomorrow My government taxes a fraction of yours. My government debt is half of yours You have just woken up but Us is already a this world country Get out while you can. And not to the usual suspects as UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, France, Portugal, Spain, Germany and most of Europe has similar problems Get out while you can
Unfortunately China is not an immigrant country because of its 1.4 billion people. The only hope is to get a Chinese wife or husband to migrate to China 😊
Well actually it’s forbidden. It’s often because the compound don’t have enough charging and parking facilities for the electric scooters. So we have to move into the apartment to charge. To carry the electric scooter or the battery into the apartment may cause fire issues. But if you’re mentioning the traditional scooter, that’s fine.
Most Chinese women after giving birth are cared for this this. My daughter is a 4th generation ABC born in Los Angeles. She too was cared for at our home for one month. She and her husband temporarily moved in a few weeks before she gave birth and then returned to our home to rest and recuperate. Between my husband, son-in-law, and myself, we took turns to give her what she needed as well as taking care of the baby. This is our tradition... this is what we do. At the end of the 30 days, a huge family gathering was hosted at our home to celebrate and introduce our new addition to the family and to formally give him his Chinese name.
Westerners don't believe that women after giving birth can eat and drink anything they like. Chinese people don't and aren't allowed. It's our Chinese tradition and culture. Westerners say it is not "scientific"! But we believe in Ying and Yang, balance of energy. I saw western women during pregnancy consume alcohol and wear short sleeve shirt and pants.😱My mum was horrified! They even have t-shirt so short that it exposed their navel. Horror! Horror! Horror!
Taylor R’s channel has a great series where she shows her experiences hiring a pui yuet/ confinement nurse in Hong Kong if anyone wants an English video showing how amazing it is. Carol cooked most of Taylor’s meals, helped her body recover and was an on-hand newborn expert for all her and her husband Tom’s late nights and baby questions. ❤
Let the Red Note Revolution begin! I spent 3 months in China in 1991 for studying and loved it and I've been following China's progress ever since. But I still have to waste energy arguing with friends because of the persistence of stereotypes and anti-China propaganda. Hopefully this will change with this "Little Red Book" (xiao hong shu - the actual name for Red Note in Chinese) phenomena.
For the U.S. government, it's like Pandora's box has been opened. The American people may no longer believe the U.S. government's lies, and their troubles are coming.
@linwoodhucse628 I also hope that Google can agree to comply with the local laws and regulations of China and obtain the operation license as soon as possible. Then, more Chinese friends will be able to be seen on RUclips.
I want to point out all the taxes I pay each year: Real Estate tax, income taxes on Social Security, Pension, 403b and 401k accounts, interest and dividend. Not to mention, sales taxes whenever we buy things.
You should tell those in US or places like Canada or Australia, how much you need to pay in China for your everyday essential utility (electricity, water and gas) that are needed for basic everyday living. I bet those in the Collective West will be extremely shocks at how little it cost you in China
@@JoeArc10 I have been to Taiwan and many times to China and I can safely say without any contradiction China is way better, cheaper and cleaner than Taiwan. 😂😂😂
The woman who just gave birth to her second child said that the luxury maternity care center she mentioned is only affordable for the top rich. Most Chinese women are taken care of at home by their elders, and the few who go to maternity care centers usually stay in ordinary hotels, which are not as luxurious as she described.
I went to China in 2018, cost of things was not so cheap for me as turist. But, I was amazing to see how everything is modern, advanced. And to walk in the streets at 1 am, in the downtown secure, no problem. kids can walk few blocks to school, where I was, also all the biking parking spots was amazing. But diference people do not still others bikes, like here in USA, roubery is a crime, that cost you your life still. Well, diferent from USA where roubery incrised. Travelling in land is done by trem easily, speed trem, even going to a village. There is problems there, but there is every where. The explanation of post partum, is true, my daugether is ther now and pregnant. She will have 6 months stay home. In China, the child taking care is a social important thing, as well the mother. Here the women is at wall mart a week after having a baby, caring the baby basket, pushing the grocery card, and doing the house work. We do not take the care of ourselves after deliery, bc we have to be super womenm right? And we wonder why Chines women, do not age faster like us. And the health care system, teach us nothing abour it. The point is make us sick faster. China is no place for lazy, slow people, at 10 years old a child have to speel correctly 10.000 words, they study a lot. And saying good job, to any small action is not the moto. I was amazed by the intelectual inteligence of kids under 6, but they also have the inocense. Beautiful, to see, but they still kids and be naughty I am sure. And the Chines, goverment see children development as priority. Usa is a great country, no doult doult, but it is a country that do not do any improviment for the betterment of his population long term, which would be real education from age 3 on. And as China there is many other enimies countries, that we can learn from them, we here are not the best of the word. Last thing, all or enimies countries, improved the people lives, and strutures for the last 40 years. And we still seening them with the same eyes of 40 years ago. Well, when we belive to be the best we can sit and rest, bc motivation is gone. It is what our aurhorities sell to us. And we bite it as a kid.
Only the ignorant and not traveling outside their boxes will get a shocker by this.. lots of countries was like this now. Americans should travel in Asia and see for themselves,some of this americans probably never travel out of their states😅 Don’t watch others because you get depressed only and feel you were so down😅 Asians were resilient,hard working and that are some of the qualities that western people can’t imitate and also the culture make the most difference.
@@JoeArc10From all your comments I can confirm that you are a Taiwanese who hate China. Whether you like it or not Taiwan will be return to China. By the way I am not from China. 😂😂😂
Corporate greed. Powerful corporation control the government. China will never let that happen. Look at what happened to Jack Ma. China government is always in control. China always emphasizes on win win and common prosperity.
And how is this different from China? The craze I saw for investing, even in foolish schemes was amazing. Now some friends in Hangu are trying to make back their losses. One guy learned “It’s all about the Benjamins” and used that phrase often. The same mentality as you accuse Americans of.
@@JoeArc10 The US is the most capitalistic country in the world. Make as much money as possible even at human cost. It seems like the Food and Big Pharma are in cahoots. One make you sick with ultra processed food and the other sell you drugs for your health problems resulting from eating junk food. Government doesn't care because lobbyists pay them millions to look the other way. This is also happening in many so called democratic countries too.

@@ChristopherHamlin-l5o Yes, China also banned google too. I believe their government have another reason, but not because of afraid communication between peoples and revealing the worlds between them.

China banned google too. For sure, their government is not afraid of people’s communication with people, but I think it is the western media and manipulated propaganda or other materials that arouse colour revolutions in other countries etc.
As someone who's been there several times I'll say that only half of China lives in the modern China. The other half are still poor in rural China. Not as poor as they once were but still very poor. China still has a long way to go and there's still lots of growth potential. That's why China is rich yet still a developing nation.
yeah the northern region is still pretty behind in comparison to the southern regions. The Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities lives better than majority of the developed countries
Yeah it's not easy to pull them all out of poverty while trying to be able to compete and build a strong economy so they'll get of poverty maybe 2050. It's just annoying that propaganda from both sides make it hard for people to truly know China isn't that evil. There's no Chinese terrorists but America says highest threat to America? American companies are a danger to Americans. etc.
The postnatal care for the mother, I don’t think she is rich, I think she is middle class. At least, the middle class can afford this kind of service. In other countries, to enjoy this level of service, you have to be more than middle class. If you know what I mean.
There is a postpartum care center near me. It costs $4,000 for 30 days, covering all meals, nursing care, accommodation, and more. For our family, it is easily affordable.
I'm just happy that the American ppl are opening their eyes now and see what's really going on behind the American governments etc...and at the same time makes me sad that American ppl are victims.
Escape where? They'll do the exact same thing no matter where they go. They should stay, reflect on themselves, and fix whatever they think is broken. "Be the change you want to see in the world".
@everythingisfineee By this time, and at this late stage, the existing power structures controlling the System are too powerful and will make sure they will resist and "neutralize" any "systemic change" attempts. It has been like this for long decades and they are not about to let anyone try, no matter how "weak" or strong those who want change are.
@everythingisfineee Leave and go to where you will be better off independently/regardless of how "imperfect" the new life and evironment are. There are places on Earth where life is better, if not perfect.
President Xi noted yrs ago that fearmongering-hatemongering will have negative effects on certain countries societies..Luv journalists in China, CGTN The Point-Hub-Heat, Shanghai Eye, CCTV & RT International in Russia
That’s what the major cities look like. There is a huge poverty situation. I’m Chinese. I have friends and family in China. While the city life looks really good in these videos, it hides what a lot of citizens live like. It’s selective viewing. It’s still better than how most Americans are treated and treats others though.
1.6b well spend 😂 Yes there are still issues in rural areas but it is getting better. At minimum there is no homelessness especially in cities, while in the US you can find tents in cities and the rural areas are also suffering. 😅
I've seen countless videos of people ran over in China by motorists, stores selling unsafe and dangerous products from food to poor quality items and the working class pushed around in an Ultra-Capitalist country that cosplays as communists in name only. You do not treat each other well there, and you're a ethnostate to boot. It's hilarious you'll spit facts on poverty, but act like almost two billion people piled on top of each other get along better than Americans. You have low crime because your country hides negativity, not because people are genuinely good to each other. You have racism and blatant hatred for Asians who aren't Chinese.
It's the same as America in the regard. Huge poverty areas like Chiraq and Detroit and all the trailer trash towns. Americans are so broke they cheered on the killing of a CEO because American companies are abusing the people. Legally killing them by deny claims. The drug infused zombies just scattered across the sidewalks and parks.
For the Americans who want to move to China, make sure you are those who doesn’t like celebrate any festival, like Halloween, Christmas and any other western festival
China's Halloween and Christmas are much more interesting than the United States. Markets and decorations are everywhere on the streets. You haven't been there, so I'm just talking nonsense here.
Obviously, you know very little about China. If you have moved to big cities in China (third tier or above), the festive atmosphere of Halloween and Christmas is even stronger than in the West.
@ yes, i never been there. So, my information are from internet. Didn’t the China president ban these western festival? Or, do you mean the news is fake? The source are basically from the China”s netizens like this video. Pretty sure they are real China Chinese due to the accent
just for the medical part, US is the real weird one, because not only Chine but also europe, Japan, lots of countries have widely-covered medical care system
Spent a week in Guangzhou before Covid hit and I was gobsmacked seeing what China was really like for the first time. When I handed cash to the taxi driver, he apologized as he fished around for change because he hadn't received his fare in cash in a long time. There were 24-hour convenience stores that were completely automated and unmanned, we were shocked as it meant it was safe enough to run this kind of business model without being looted all the time. We were off the typical tourist trails in the city and we didn't see beggars or homeless folks. Friends drove us several hours to Conghua and the highways were amazing. When we landed I really didn't know what to expect but by the time we left I was impressed. That was in 2017, I can't imagine what things are like now. We'll be going again to Zhejiang next month before relocating there for work in April. Pretty excited.
祝你在中國的生活能平安順利
Zhejiang wow been there for 8yrs after coming from Shanghai, I prefer Hangzhou compared Shanghai
Yeah. Non brown countries are generally safer. Wonder why that is.
Thanks for sharing your story.
Zhejiang was the first place I went to in the 1990s. And I absolutely fell in love with the place, more specifically with Hangzhou. (But not only Hangzhou).
And yes, that was in the 1990s!!! Almost 30 years ago!
I took a very long train ride from Beijing to Hangzhou and Suzhou in 1991. Absolutely beautiful despite the summer heat. 上有天堂, 下有苏杭 (above, there is heaven; below, there is Suzhou and Hangzhou).
Direct interaction between Americans and Chinese is such a great thing! Understanding and mutual respect bring peace and harmony.

@@breadman5048 哈哈~!乐子
You could have seen all of this on youtube for decades if you had just searched for 'American in China or 'foreigner in China' etc. I am seriously shocked than people were too lazy just to do the tiniest of research and I am shocked that people did not know China was like this already.
They are only interested in China because it is trending.
Most people had no reason to search for that content. Why would they? Unless they're interested in travelling/teaching abroad which is very small % of people, it makes total sense why people are shocked now.
I always thought atleast most american get view about china from their vloggers,but sadly maybe most of them think vlogger are just nob0dy for them😅
@ Most Americans don't get any view of China because they don't really care about learning about China. But maybe things are changing with the Rednote phenomenon.
Exactly. If people searched on RUclips, they would’ve known about China long ago. The good along with the bad. It’s still there. Now all they’re eating up is the Instagram version, Chinese style.
FYI, there is no free universal healthcare, neither is there any welfare system in China. Do some due diligence. There are many suffering because of this. Many of these Red Noters are from well off families, who are in the party. They have free health care. Just seeing their apartments and how well they speak English is telling. The average Chinese still do not live like this. Even they would aspire to this lifestyle.
I was a traveler in China last year I had breakfast downstairs from my apartment and the cost for steamed rice rolls for $2 Canadian. So, it's not propaganda for any political stripe or color.
did you know how to speak mandarin or did you go full on english? how did that turn out, was most people relatively understanding english? I'd love to go to china, but I'd like to know the language first, at least a little bit. I'm french canadian, but I doubt they would know french more than english.
@@krymz1 Most of them don't speak another language that isn't chinese, so I'd suggest you to learn a little bit of chinese even if it's just the basics, also you can always use a translator but it just kind of breaks the flow of the conversation, but do not worry most of them are super kind and would try to help you in any way you need
@ thank you :)
@@krymz1as long u don't do the slant eyes gesture or fly Japanese imperial flag u be alright,have fun.
There is always the numerous free translation apps like Google Translator to fall back on and it helped me in making conversations in China and they use it too to communicate with you.
I am browsing rednote. No matter which country they are from, everyone is posting funny emojis, funny jokes, and showing off their pets and plants. Fun and stress-free content. We all know what will happen next, so enjoy this moment ,enjoy the pure kindness of strangers thousands of miles away.Perhaps decades later we will still remember this hard-won, pure journey.This reminds me a bit of Lord of the Rings...
谢谢你我的朋友，希望你有一天能来到中国，亲眼看到这一切🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤ Welcome to China.
I am grateful and thankful that there are more people who are opening up to the real China rather than believing false stereotypes. Those stereotypes may have been based on how China looked 20-40 years ago. Even some Asians think of China in these stereotypes and are prejudiced towards the Chinese. Again, I am so grateful that people are learning more.
No, I don't think it is a case of not updating and keeping up with the times. For the western media, it is a deliberate attempt to show China in light light. Heck, you guys even have a $1.6 billion budget for this purpose. The BBC even to to the extent of putting on a grey filter when they show photos of otherwise bright and shiny China.
When you see their technological and military accomplishments that have left the US behind, would you consider it still a poor country?
China was already well advanced 20 years ago. I visited Beijing in 2004. It was a modern city by then but some US propaganda video said it was still full of bicycles.

Indeed. Chinese people are some of the most friendly, welcoming, and generous people you will ever meet.
Except... a lot of these "RedNote' videos are pure propaganda and don't give people the reality of the situation in China. In China, there is 'Face culture', so you will only ever see positive and beneficial videos. Everything negative is swept under the rug and never shown. It's a very unbalanced and dishonest view.
Except when they’re doing the CCP’s bidding or police abusing authority on citizens asking for their hard earned money back from corrupt banks.

From 1980's English text book, there is a LI HUA (Girl name) invite American people to introduce USA people, culture and etc.

Mike Pence 'We rebuilt China over the last 25 years'

In Chinese history, if they had a government like the US, the Chinese would have revolted long ago.

Healthcare is not too bad in Australia either
I'm an Uber driver wanted an affordable EV for work so I could afford a minimum living, but the paid lawmakers wouldn't allow Chinese EVs in. They are protecting their shareholders' donaters' investments in all these legacy automakers. While these people are making money form the overpriced vehicles I have to work 2 jobs to make end meets.😡
In China, DiDi (similarly to Uber) has all drivers using EV car to reduce costs. No one drives a gas-powered vehicle.
you know that the Uber here is called 滴滴, All drivers use EVs, which only cost about 200 RMB ($27.5) a month for energy. I alway talk to the drivers about how the EVs helps their lives.
All prices in UK British Pounds
BYD SEALION 7 (crossover EV)
UK £45,000
AUSTRALIA £32,000
CHINA £18,000
@ I think the Chinese government subsidizes electric vehicles for local citizens, making them more affordable. In Hong Kong, however, the price of EVs is double that of China.
@@7CoOl6 We allways use Didi or similiar car sharing apps to get to "neighboor" cities like Suzhou ,Shanghai or Nanjing, driving time is around 1,5 to 3 hours and we pay 50€ at most it is very cheap for a westerner, and still a hefty sum to earn for chinese. I guess its a win win here.

Kim Kardashian has 300 million followers, CNN has 20 million. Average Americans are not getting their news from CNN.
Not really. Most of us want to focus on the issues facing us domestically. I don't think I have ever met a real, normal person who supports us being militarily involved in the middle east, or anywhere.
It shows how well Chinese speaks English also
It also means Americans live in their own culture only, not willing to learn Mandarin to connect with the world.
所以，这些内容没有代表性 ?
中国人从小学开始学英文，只是没有机会和国外人交流，现在有一个渠道了，会说一点很正常
No,just that 3% percent speak it.And you could see them in rednote.
Just use a translation. In a few years machine translation will take over.
Another plus point in China is there is a no tipping culture. It may offend the receiver if you offer it to them.

All these interactions are really wholesome and funny to me, seeing that I was a Chinese living in my home country before migrating to Singapore. Since I migrated from a early age, to be frank, I also didn’t know much about my country and how it stacks to the states. But this video really unsheathes the curtain and lets the world see what China really is made of 🙏

You have to know that a large part of Russia's resources come from China, so China is scolded every day at the United Nations by the United States and their European Allies, you read that right, they scold every day. Meeting every day.

I have been watching China videos on RUclips for many years.
*Then you KNOW that what the Chinese are showing in their videos IS TRUE.*

@ArchsStanton yeah, but it's only half the story, Many channels on RUclips also show the other half that the CCP tries to hide. China claims to have eliminated poverty while claiming that poverty is anyone making less than $340.00 US/year or 2300 yuan/year😅

You are lied about everything there - Do you know over 50% Chinese lost their jobs now could not afford mortgages and were forced to close their houses? Major the stores shut down there now. Don't weaponize RUclips as a tool to overthrow US government otherwise US would nuke you.
Sure chicom.
wait until Americans realize that their democracy only a propaganda to vote puppet A or puppet B of the military industrial complex, and their government print money by their debt, so not enough money circulate to pay the interest.
Foreigners benefit from immigration through better job opportunities, improved living conditions, and greater economic stability. Many immigrants, including refugees, can access better healthcare, education, and social services, allowing them to rebuild their lives and achieve financial independence.
However, locals may face some disadvantages, such as increased competition for jobs, rising housing costs, and higher prices for goods and services. There could also be social and cultural tensions as communities adjust to new dynamics.
US government is like the corporations. They know how to spare you the salary at the line that they minimize their loss, meanwhile it's enough to let you live and not go on a strike/revolution. BTW, they can get their money back by selling other working class their goods.
IMO that was the problem, the American felt they are the best, the most moral, the righteous, the smartest, the most freedom, most innovative, the most educated, the most everything in the world and outer space. Blame it on the government, media, politicians, education system all you want but that doesn't hold water in this modern era anymore. Information is online for anyone, why didn't you see???
Then why does China have the great firewall?
I think its cognitive dissonance. They know that other countries aren't as terrible as theyr told but they cant get over the mental block that only the us is the one that isnt horrible and a dystopia. No matter how much they see they won't overcome that mental hurdle unless they actively acknowledge the cognitive dissonance
Hummm that must be why every nations ppl STILL line up to go there 😂. Chinese especially to learn and copy😂
So why are the CCP elites sending there kids off to the US for college and moving their ill gotten gains out of China to the US?

Americans i have a question. Democracy is in essence the government acting in the best interests of the people. Voting is only one aspect. If you vote a govt that doesn't act in the best interests of its people, is it a democracy?
No, That's why we voted for Trump
A democracy vs a corrupt democracy hard to say. Like that could go with Communist vs Corrupt Communist. I'm in between and have no bias. I just want people to have the right information. Xi is too sensitive and China should have a bit more freedom to say things to criticize. Yes people can get manipulated but that is truly the most honest way to do it. I had many chances to live in China, I chose to stay in Canada because I do like my semi freedom of speech. I want to be able to criticize whoever I want. Shouldn't ban words like Winnie the pooh. If Xi changed the ban, he would be more respected in general. Chinese folks use VPN because too many things are banned. Just do what America does and flood platforms with some good ol propaganda. I defend China a lot against a lot of propaganda, but that's just a fight you can't win. They put in billions just for more propaganda. Some have changed but majority won't reply to me when I asked them a question that breaks their reality.

I don't understand how people can be proud to be Americans when the so called leaders of our own country are against us. How can people still believe we are so great when we have the strongest search engines in the palm of our hands everyday with information and statistics to say otherwise? People have become to complacent.
Most Chinese think that the United States has free health care and free education, high-paying jobs, and cheap housing, otherwise there will not be so many low-level Chinese who want to smuggle to the United States
this is a historical moment. and it is goint to change the world. we need a real Earth Village, where people respects each other's culture and live a happy life.
Why are Chinese people so enthusiastic about people from all over the world coming to rednote? The video introduces one aspect, and there is another aspect that is not mentioned. You can see from rednote's videos that the life of ordinary people in China is very convenient, with cheap prices, low medical and education costs, and convenient infrastructure. So those analyses that say 90% of Chinese people are satisfied with the CPC are not lies, but many people also know that the mainstream media in the Western world, such as CNN, BBC and some people who hate China, are slandering China on the Internet, As an ordinary Chinese, we see these false information and try to defend ourselves, but the discourse is controlled by Western politicians led by the United States, so it is useless for us to defend ourselves.and you people in the Western world also believe their propaganda and hate us, so we Chinese also feel very aggrieved. Rednote is indeed a good opportunity for us to truly show the lives of ordinary Chinese people and let those in the world who laugh at and hate China with prejudice see it. This is also the motivation for many people to welcome you and so many video bloggers who introduce their hometowns.
All of these “people” are just internet censors, part of the “5 dimes” (wumao). Paid the monitor the internet, block anti-CCP videos and regurgitate propaganda.
Don’t believe it. Talk to Chinese people who fled China and Taiwanese people for insights.
Maybe its time for China to remove the Great Firewall. I don't think ordinary people in the western world hate Chinese people, but rather many westerners have negative feelings toward the CCP specifically, due to things like the Uyghur genocide, military invasion drills around Taiwan, etc. And Chinese people can't really join international discourse most of the time to give their side of the story because most people can't be bothered to VPN to the other side. Sometimes the Western world can be wrong, sometimes the Chinese government can also be wrong. But the firewall keeps us from fully communicating and learning from each other and learning the truth together.

Yes, all the positive and constructive reports about China are never seen on CNN or the BBC. All you get is the negative stuff. To some extent, ordinary people in the West are also living in a Truman Show kind of world.

In New Zealand Hospitals are free to public, no charge. They give you money to have a baby.
Not all healthcare in New Zealand is free. Last year, I had stomach pain, and my family doctor told me that unless I was experiencing severe stomach bleeding or collapsed, the government wouldn't allow a free gastroscopy. In the end, I had to pay 2,000 NZD for the procedure. Additionally, I had some eye problems and scheduled a surgery, but I had to wait for 8 months for an appointment.
New Zealand is currently facing serious inflation, with prices soaring. Young people can’t afford to buy homes, and a large number of skilled workers are leaving for Australia. This has led to a decline in the quality of healthcare and a shortage of medical staff. Two years ago, I took my girlfriend to Auckland’s central hospital at 1 a.m. for emergency treatment, only to find that the entire hospital, from the emergency department to the inpatient department, had only two doctors on duty. We had to wait for 4 hours before receiving any effective treatment, and the doctor misdiagnosed her, which caused her to lose hearing in her right ear.
Of course, I’m not trying to speak badly about New Zealand. I really like living here, but due to the previous government's series of inactions and the global economic downturn, I can only say that life in New Zealand is unlikely to return to the peaceful and prosperous state it was in the 1990s.
In Spain also free, but how long you have to wait no one knows, is better you buy a commercial insurance yourself

I've been binging my whole work hours today on this viral trend 👀. It's baffles my mind how most American are shocked. Dang! 😵💫
We have been saying this for many years but nobody believes. Now they find it out the truth themselves. LOL..
Saying what
Thanks for this.
The same in Russia, the health care is free, and you get money for the 1st 2nd, 3d baby. The more babies you have, the more money they pay. You can actually buy a house for a family.
They l i e d to you about Russia/China for the past 80 years...
美女，我们中国人还是不敢生太多，因为我们有彩礼文化，以后儿子结婚需要给女方支付一大笔钱，还得给儿子买车，买房。生太多孩子负担不起。。。
Actually, after watching American's comments I am also shocked (in disbelief) about their healthcare costs 😮
US spends 10x more than Malaysia per capital on healthcare
Yet our healthcare system is superior to yours
You simply walk into any public clinic, get treated within 90 minutes and walk out with 1-3 months of medicine if you have chronic condition
You have higher cost of living, high energy cost, higher rental,higher transportation cost, higher cost of cars, higher fuel cost, Impossible home ownerships, higher insurance premiums
In spite of that higher taxations, higher sales tax, higher capital gains tax, amongst the highest inheritances
Both democrats and republican spend like there is no tomorrow
My government taxes a fraction of yours. My government debt is half of yours
You have just woken up but Us is already a this world country
Get out while you can. And not to the usual suspects as UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, France, Portugal, Spain, Germany and most of Europe has similar problems
Get out while you can
Because their government waste their money on wars.
but at 7:49, she must "win"
Unfortunately China is not an immigrant country because of
its 1.4 billion people.
The only hope is to get a Chinese wife or husband to migrate to China 😊
Do you mean that all Americans and Europeans should leave their countries and go live in Malaysia? Sure, that will fix all of the problems.
In malaysia, my stroke treatment RM5. USD 1.2. Free ambulance ride.
Malaysia have the best health care.
One of the funny thing in China, they can bring their scooter inside the lift going up to their apartment from 20floor
Well actually it’s forbidden. It’s often because the compound don’t have enough charging and parking facilities for the electric scooters. So we have to move into the apartment to charge. To carry the electric scooter or the battery into the apartment may cause fire issues. But if you’re mentioning the traditional scooter, that’s fine.
It has been forbidden in many China cities now
That postpartum hotel though….. I wish my baby mama had that when she had our boy
Most Chinese women after giving birth are cared for this this. My daughter is a 4th generation ABC born in Los Angeles. She too was cared for at our home for one month. She and her husband temporarily moved in a few weeks before she gave birth and then returned to our home to rest and recuperate. Between my husband, son-in-law, and myself, we took turns to give her what she needed as well as taking care of the baby. This is our tradition... this is what we do. At the end of the 30 days, a huge family gathering was hosted at our home to celebrate and introduce our new addition to the family and to formally give him his Chinese name.
Westerners don't believe that women after giving birth can eat and drink anything they like. Chinese people don't and aren't allowed. It's our Chinese tradition and culture. Westerners say it is not "scientific"! But we believe in Ying and Yang, balance of energy. I saw western women during pregnancy consume alcohol and wear short sleeve shirt and pants.😱My mum was horrified! They even have t-shirt so short that it exposed their navel. Horror! Horror! Horror!
Taylor R’s channel has a great series where she shows her experiences hiring a pui yuet/ confinement nurse in Hong Kong if anyone wants an English video showing how amazing it is. Carol cooked most of Taylor’s meals, helped her body recover and was an on-hand newborn expert for all her and her husband Tom’s late nights and baby questions. ❤
It’s a private business. Nothing is stopping anyone in the US from opening one.
@@brianlee9737 why my comment is being deleted 🤮.
I love the postpartum facility and care for moms and babies.
Let the Red Note Revolution begin! I spent 3 months in China in 1991 for studying and loved it and I've been following China's progress ever since. But I still have to waste energy arguing with friends because of the persistence of stereotypes and anti-China propaganda. Hopefully this will change with this "Little Red Book" (xiao hong shu - the actual name for Red Note in Chinese) phenomena.
Chinas rise is failing. More trade wars are starting and as China's economy is terrible.
For the U.S. government, it's like Pandora's box has been opened. The American people may no longer believe the U.S. government's lies, and their troubles are coming.

I want to point out all the taxes I pay each year: Real Estate tax, income taxes on Social Security, Pension, 403b and 401k accounts, interest and dividend. Not to mention, sales taxes whenever we buy things.
You should tell those in US or places like Canada or Australia, how much you need to pay in China for your everyday essential utility (electricity, water and gas) that are needed for basic everyday living.
I bet those in the Collective West will be extremely shocks at how little it cost you in China
The story of Li Hua's letters is soooooo touching.

The woman who just gave birth to her second child said that the luxury maternity care center she mentioned is only affordable for the top rich. Most Chinese women are taken care of at home by their elders, and the few who go to maternity care centers usually stay in ordinary hotels, which are not as luxurious as she described.
HAHAHA biggest own goal in US information war history!
I went to China in 2018, cost of things was not so cheap for me as turist. But, I was amazing to see how everything is modern, advanced. And to walk in the streets at 1 am, in the downtown secure, no problem. kids can walk few blocks to school, where I was, also all the biking parking spots was amazing. But diference people do not still others bikes, like here in USA, roubery is a crime, that cost you your life still. Well, diferent from USA where roubery incrised. Travelling in land is done by trem easily, speed trem, even going to a village. There is problems there, but there is every where. The explanation of post partum, is true, my daugether is ther now and pregnant. She will have 6 months stay home. In China, the child taking care is a social important thing, as well the mother. Here the women is at wall mart a week after having a baby, caring the baby basket, pushing the grocery card, and doing the house work. We do not take the care of ourselves after deliery, bc we have to be super womenm right? And we wonder why Chines women, do not age faster like us. And the health care system, teach us nothing abour it. The point is make us sick faster. China is no place for lazy, slow people, at 10 years old a child have to speel correctly 10.000 words, they study a lot. And saying good job, to any small action is not the moto. I was amazed by the intelectual inteligence of kids under 6, but they also have the inocense. Beautiful, to see, but they still kids and be naughty I am sure. And the Chines, goverment see children development as priority. Usa is a great country, no doult doult, but it is a country that do not do any improviment for the betterment of his population long term, which would be real education from age 3 on. And as China there is many other enimies countries, that we can learn from them, we here are not the best of the word. Last thing, all or enimies countries, improved the people lives, and strutures for the last 40 years. And we still seening them with the same eyes of 40 years ago. Well, when we belive to be the best we can sit and rest, bc motivation is gone. It is what our aurhorities sell to us. And we bite it as a kid.
😂 u finally woke up Americans , now u have to see Rusia and lran 😅 to discover the truth
Americans finally swallowed the red pill. (Matrix)
They have switched from one delusion to another
Only the ignorant and not traveling outside their boxes will get a shocker by this.. lots of countries was like this now. Americans should travel in Asia and see for themselves,some of this americans probably never travel out of their states😅
Don’t watch others because you get depressed only and feel you were so down😅
Asians were resilient,hard working and that are some of the qualities that western people can’t imitate and also the culture make the most difference.
确实，我上次看见一个非洲人拍的视频粉刺英国BBC记者，那些已经在建设和自己建设好的，还有他们人民友好的一面，都不拍就拍个臭水沟回去给欧美人民看。亚洲和非洲很多国家都慢慢的发展很好可是欧美人都还是觉得你们落后很差。
How many Chinese citizens can travel without fear of the CCP police wherever they go?
Don’t forget racism. Racism is rampant in China and any countries in Asia.

In u.s. everything is for profit. That's the problem.
Corporate greed. Powerful corporation control the government. China will never let that happen. Look at what happened to Jack Ma. China government is always in control. China always emphasizes on win win and common prosperity.
And how is this different from China? The craze I saw for investing, even in foolish schemes was amazing. Now some friends in Hangu are trying to make back their losses.
One guy learned “It’s all about the Benjamins” and used that phrase often. The same mentality as you accuse Americans of.
@@JoeArc10 The US is the most capitalistic country in the world. Make as much money as possible even at human cost. It seems like the Food and Big Pharma are in cahoots. One make you sick with ultra processed food and the other sell you drugs for your health problems resulting from eating junk food. Government doesn't care because lobbyists pay them millions to look the other way. This is also happening in many so called democratic countries too.
It's the same everywhere. You all need to chill
America Government is now in deep trouble. What have they have been doing before this to improve the live hood of the Americans?
So you know why TikTok is banned. I have been traveling and living in both China and in the west. Most of my friends in the west will not understand or accept what I tried to explain to them. Here comes the rednote 😊. The people hidden behind the walls finally meet.
Why is TikTok banned in China?
@@ChristopherHamlin-l5o It isn't banned, China has its own version. Because US government requires tiktok's server has to be located in the US.
@@ChristopherHamlin-l5o Yes, China also banned google too. I believe their government have another reason, but not because of afraid communication between peoples and revealing the worlds between them. I think it is rather western media and planned manipulated information arousing colour revolution in other countries etc.
China banned google too. For sure, their government is not afraid of people’s communication with people, but I think it is the western media and manipulated propaganda or other materials that arouse colour revolutions in other countries etc.
These refugees are making John Xina look 100 times more american right now .
As someone who's been there several times I'll say that only half of China lives in the modern China. The other half are still poor in rural China. Not as poor as they once were but still very poor. China still has a long way to go and there's still lots of growth potential. That's why China is rich yet still a developing nation.
yeah the northern region is still pretty behind in comparison to the southern regions. The Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities lives better than majority of the developed countries
穷是个相对的概念，你所谓的一半中国很穷是怎么个穷？我估计就你那个比样懂得看经济数据就算不错了！恐怕以你那个智商是远远想不到中国的实际购买力，至少比日韩台并不差多少，你更想不到，美国的所谓人均八万美元的GDP实际虚的不行！稍微注意一下美国社会的各种消费行为，就可以看出来，他们庞大的消费支出实质上人民却没有享受到多少真正的物质与服务~~你美爹的经济虚的不行~~~呵呵
They are poor but they still have a home.
Here in Canada I have to work 72h a week to pay for a small home.
@ At least you have jobs, times are tough and unemployment is reaching record breaking level
Yeah it's not easy to pull them all out of poverty while trying to be able to compete and build a strong economy so they'll get of poverty maybe 2050. It's just annoying that propaganda from both sides make it hard for people to truly know China isn't that evil. There's no Chinese terrorists but America says highest threat to America? American companies are a danger to Americans. etc.
I can’t believe an app that broke the wall thank small red book

China “eliminated” poverty.
ELIMINATED poverty- what does it mean.
Did USA eliminate poverty?
The postnatal care for the mother, I don’t think she is rich, I think she is middle class. At least, the middle class can afford this kind of service. In other countries, to enjoy this level of service, you have to be more than middle class. If you know what I mean.
不一定中产阶级，每个城市收入和消费等级不一样。有时候他们父母有钱会支持他们，看她的标准在中国不算低。可是就算没钱，也会做月子只是在家得到好的照顾补偿营养让女身体机能更好。可是现代女的爱漂亮不想在月子期间吃的太营养让自己变胖。以前母乳中医理论是母亲更健康母乳营养更好，孩子喝了母乳会更健康抵抗力什么会更好。
I read an American woman has to start work 2 days after delivery to make ends meet
There is a postpartum care center near me. It costs $4,000 for 30 days, covering all meals, nursing care, accommodation, and more. For our family, it is easily affordable.
Greedy big pharma and insurance companies are the culprit of high medical costs. Probably lawsuits, too.
Asians are built different

Leave the System and escape while there is still time.
Escape where? They'll do the exact same thing no matter where they go. They should stay, reflect on themselves, and fix whatever they think is broken. "Be the change you want to see in the world".
@everythingisfineee By this time, and at this late stage, the existing power structures controlling the System are too powerful and will make sure they will resist and "neutralize" any "systemic change" attempts. It has been like this for long decades and they are not about to let anyone try, no matter how "weak" or strong those who want change are.
@everythingisfineee Leave and go to where you will be better off independently/regardless of how "imperfect" the new life and evironment are. There are places on Earth where life is better, if not perfect.
@everythingisfineee By the way, have you already tried to "fix whatever is broken"? Do you believe you are able to?
Truth prevail and hell break lose!

They have the most high iq people,, why american poeple think people in china won't have a futuristic lifestyle? 😅😅😅
That’s what the major cities look like.
There is a huge poverty situation.
I’m Chinese. I have friends and family in China. While the city life looks really good in these videos, it hides what a lot of citizens live like. It’s selective viewing. It’s still better than how most Americans are treated and treats others though.
yeah! Like that's the truth!
of course is the same in every country of this world😂😢
1.6b well spend 😂
Yes there are still issues in rural areas but it is getting better. At minimum there is no homelessness especially in cities, while in the US you can find tents in cities and the rural areas are also suffering. 😅
I've seen countless videos of people ran over in China by motorists, stores selling unsafe and dangerous products from food to poor quality items and the working class pushed around in an Ultra-Capitalist country that cosplays as communists in name only. You do not treat each other well there, and you're a ethnostate to boot. It's hilarious you'll spit facts on poverty, but act like almost two billion people piled on top of each other get along better than Americans. You have low crime because your country hides negativity, not because people are genuinely good to each other. You have racism and blatant hatred for Asians who aren't Chinese.
It's the same as America in the regard. Huge poverty areas like Chiraq and Detroit and all the trailer trash towns. Americans are so broke they cheered on the killing of a CEO because American companies are abusing the people. Legally killing them by deny claims. The drug infused zombies just scattered across the sidewalks and parks.
Still not going to that country . Nope .
For the Americans who want to move to China, make sure you are those who doesn’t like celebrate any festival, like Halloween, Christmas and any other western festival
China's Halloween and Christmas are much more interesting than the United States. Markets and decorations are everywhere on the streets. You haven't been there, so I'm just talking nonsense here.
Obviously, you know very little about China. If you have moved to big cities in China (third tier or above), the festive atmosphere of Halloween and Christmas is even stronger than in the West.
@ yes, i never been there. So, my information are from internet. Didn’t the China president ban these western festival? Or, do you mean the news is fake? The source are basically from the China”s netizens like this video. Pretty sure they are real China Chinese due to the accent
That's not entirely true. Some cities celebrate these festivals and some don't. It depends on which city you live in.
@@raitei1213 they are bbc actors...
They do the same thing in South Korea for postpartum care, not new. Almost 30 years.
Western media: Tik Tok refuges are funded in whole or in part by the Chinese government.
so, you do not read Western media at all ?
Why do you all have to teach people with misinformed comments?
just for the medical part, US is the real weird one, because not only Chine but also europe, Japan, lots of countries have widely-covered medical care system
