The way China gov roll off all those mega infrastructure system all around China & HK is really frightening me. They do really have lots of money to spent all on one go. Actually what they achieve in last span on 20 years is what American, Japan and Europe altogether achieved the past 80 years!!!
@newbie RUclipsr look back in early 1900s. What happening in China had happen before in German & Russia. Early 1900s both German & Russia empire economy expanded rapidly, they accumulated the highest gold reserve, their railways line covering thousands miles, average people were happy, industrial expanding beyond borders, wealthy generation increasing, Ruble & Mark almost valued on par with American Dollar, by then many economist predicted by 1940s, both German & Russia will overtake America as the biggest economy on world. The similarity China with German empire & Russia empire is too close. Look what happen in 1914? American & British bankers funded & provoking event that leads to WW1. What happen after ww1? Both German & Russia massacred each other. Both economy regressed many years and both lost huge sum of financial freedom after the war. German lost billions dollar (or trillion dollar on today standard) to pay reparation. Both empire collapse simultenously. America & British regain the most from those German & Russia mishap. When they started rebuild their economy back, and Anglo-America strikes again unleashed WW2. Soviet never progressed well after that. Eventually their economic stalled too bad resulting their collapse early 1990s. What i see is China becoming obstacle into Anglo-America domination, be it economically or politically. Its just a matter of time before America launch another provocation to strike China. Do not forget there is 4 timid geopol tension in eastern Asia that is potentially hazardous. (1) North Korea tension. (2) Taiwan tension. (3) Bad relationship with Japan tension & (4) Spratlys Asean tension. When the time is right, Anglo-America can any way use all those trump tension cards to bring wars to China and restore their grip on world economic possesion. So yeah that is what frightening me now.
@@faysalshahadprince what an illogical comment. Like hell countries like india, iran, north Korea will sit doing nothing and UN will grant them permission to let them takeover the world
Instead of accusing China for stealing the IP, why can't US government focus on improving the quality of living in states? Do you really think US technology is left on table for grab? To continue lead and separate from runner up, you should advance at faster speed, rather than slowing others down.
They did steal IP from USA. I live in USA. Their quality of life already good. They can improve for sure, but you can't use that as argument for them to shut up about fraud. That's stupid.
Its pretty funny to be accusing China of stealing when they are ahead in most of the core technologies. If you steal and copy you cannot be ahead, so this is a common western media myth and excuse to make their own population feel better when they really are regressing technologically. If copying is so easy why aren't other developing countries also doing it and be successful ? The truth is that the PRC is ahead in most of the core technologies like AI/robotics, quantum physics and nuclear power and this is the real reason why the US government is going ape shit !
So the high speed rail to Hong Kong is a 7 years project, total 11 billion of dollars, 2.5 billion more than the original budget. Doesn't sounds bad at all tbh, I live in Australia basically all infrastructure projects exceed the budget much more than 25% and took much longer time that expected.

In GDP term it's about the same scale. Metro NY and Greater Tokyo both has $1.5 trillion GDP.

@Mateo Valenzuela Macau is culturally influenced by Portugal; but I would say not to a very large extent. Most people in Macau don't speak Portuguese, when I say most, I mean over 90 or 95%. I'm from Macao.
If you think Portugal and America have the same culture, then you haven't been to either one of them. The western world is a geographical term consisting of many different countries and cultures, not a single one, it is not a monolithic entity. Portuguese culture have nothing to do with American culture.
ILoveCoffee hahah. Really?then why using the umbrella term "western world"? Isnt there any cohesion among western people while comparing themselves with people from other cultures ? asian people or people in so-called eastern culture would definitely not share any cohesion because the whole concept eastern vs western is totally Eurocentric which already exists since ancient greek era.If you are talking about geography or continent, the concept of Europe should not exist because Europe is only a peninsula lying on the western part of EURASIA with bunches of surrounding islands. I agree with you that there are cultural diversity in western world but it is just not on par with any cultural difference among asian countries. If you see cultural differences between China and India is a sea, the difference between usa and Portugal is just a strait, and the difference between Portugal Spain and Italy is merely a river. From my point of view, the whole concept of Western world comes from medieval concept of christendom. If christendom is the equivalent with india or china, the cultural difference in western world is merely provincial or state difference in china or india.
and this why China so vested in further Hong Kong administration integration In 2050, the whole delta/bay area is gonna be like an awesomely huge cyberpunk megacity maybe complete with cyberpunk governance and corporate power too lol but one heck of a megacity
Would you people stop calling Las Vegas of China, Silicon Valley of China, Venice of China....? Have some self respect and recognition of yourself. We have our own identity.

Yes we learned and adopted their languages like English, French, Spanish and learned their technologies and cultures and step in their rings to compete with them. But I’m so tired of seeing our people copying and adopting things we can do better. Stay away from the western norms.

New SF bay bridge: 3.5km long, 11 years to completion, $6.5B HK-ZH-Macau bridge: 55km, 11 years, $19B It's over the ocean, so don't argue that totalitarian regime has better efficiency than democracy simply because they can buy land cheap.
YES. BUT IT IS TOP HEAVY. MEANING 3 TO 5 MIL MAKE CLOSE TO 100K! AS RICH AS ANY METRO IN THE WORLD. china might be already having close to 1000 billionaires. i will check up.
China get things done unlike U.S. look at california highway project is no where anyway been close to complete and might never do due to endless lawsuit.
There are 3 different legal systems and 3 different currencies and the most advanced censorship firewall in this bay area which the bay areas of New York, San Francisco, and Tokyo share none. What are the pros and cons of it? Please share your thoughts below.
In the constitutions of macau and hongkong it says china can fully annex them whenever they want so legally this wouldnt be a problem. Currencies arent a problem as in most asian countries even in small street businesses you can pay digitally. The most interesting is the firewall in my opinion since you cant take away so much freedom with nothing happening. Another question are the property prizes... in anticipation of the fusion of hongkong with the mainland makes them rise like crazy, making the area maybe more of a los angeles/miami than the second silicon valley they want
The fact of the matter is that HK is too different from China for people to want to commute there to work etc, resulting in low demand and a waste of resources
Damn chimelong has come a long way. From just a hotel to this. I remember living across the zoo (first park they built) in Panyu and watching them build the circus, theme park, and water park
Uptin Saiidi -- did you typed that geographically errormeous subtitle of "Bridging HK, Macau and Mainland China"? -- All 3 areas are on the Chinese mainland. Therefore, the correct description is Bridging HK, Macau and the PRC.
I have seen most videos on this channel about China. I wasn't aware of this much progress of China. I have lived in Silicon Valley for many years and haven't seen that much of Technology used in daily lives. Chinese companies are racing ahead of American companies in terms of Technology. At this point I have a question to Chinese people reading this(I know they have their own RUclips but in case you are reading this please answer). Why do so many Chinese want to come to US when their own country is doing much better that US?
Curiosity, education, less competition, big houses and big backyards, better air, diversified investment... They use VPN to get over the firewall so lots of Chinese on RUclips actually.
Many wanted to go and have an top of the world education, see the world, experience the different culture, and be more “international” for future competitions. Some of them would choose to stay forever for various reasons. Im in canada, and one of the factors is less competition, more relaxed working environment, better air and free medical. But i do miss China for many other reasons.
There are only a limited number of places in China for top universities. Only geniuses have the chance. Those who fail the exams can only go to the United States to get a better education
China is still a developing country :)And the entertainment industry in the US is still leading the world,so as the education and living conditions!China still has a long way to go tbh
I just wonder how much money the Chinese govt. would be having in their treasures to spend on such mega infrastructural projects. Their govt. is like fucking crazy man! They just do any sort of high spending projects within a few span of time like 2-3 years whereas in India, those projects would have taken 8-10 years. From where do they get their money?
3:22 "while others worry Hongkong will lose business to mainland China as it becomes more accessible." ?????? what, more accessible = losing business???
Its not that convenient if you look on Google maps the bridge/tunnel is located next to the HK airport. It takes 1 to 1.5 hrs to get to the airport from the city and isnt cheap to get to. Then you need to take a bus (you need a license for macau and zhuhai and i dont have one same as many ppl in hk) so overall its expensive to use, to build and its time consuming. I'm not really sure if the reason for the bridge is really to connect HK to other places or is it to link communist china more into HK. From a political point of view, this bridge and the high speed rail is to disrupt HK's sovereignty and independence as an SAR (i dont support HK becoming independent its not possible). To China, HK is now just a small city so they dont respect it now compared to 22 years ago when the handover was happening. The greater bay area is a camouflage to China's sneaky plans to take HK and Macau I highly doubt people in both SAR regions will move to the area under Chinese laws. HK & Macau cant be independent cities and must have a country supporting it and protecting it. HK needs to remain the SAR identity even after 2047 otherwise there will be another refugee wave of people going to the US, UK, Japan, Canda, Australia just like the time before 1997.
The problem with the bridge is that no one uses it - only 100 cars use it per day Reason being is that a lot of paperwork has to be filled in to use it as the insurance system is not compatible between the two countries and no one is allowed to drive into Macau due to congestion (except 100 specially approved business owners) The border has more friction that the one between Russia and Finland or between US and Canada despite being in the same country - at least they have a green card system which allows insurance policies to be accepted over the border and they don’t have to get a separate set of license plates And if you compare it to say the Channel Tunnel goods (not people) can move freely due to the customs union but HK is it’s individual customs zone to maintain Hong Kong’s uniqueness Plus you can drive across as long as you have your V5C/logbook with you - no green card/any type of paperwork needed
johnnyXXX i think thats the point he was trying to make here. Some people (including HKers) refer to mainland as China, and HK as HK, as if HK wasnt part of China. He was just using an analogy so other people Can understand better.
Arsenio Buck nope. USA is still way better than Australia although i agree with your comments about USA. To me, the turn off is the safety and gun issue, but i guess it depends on the cities and areas.
I'm pretty proud of China's accomplishments in all these worldwide first tier infrastructure, but at the same time I have to say this is not the China I'm experiencing personally everyday living in Beijing. White ppl or majority of foreign ppl have it easier here in China compared to the average Chinese Joes by just teaching English, working 35 hrs a week, easily making more money than Chinese workers plus reimbursements for the housing. While the average Chinese have to unwillingly work longer hours, having a hard time affording housing that's almost more expensive than San Fran Bay area.

The western world is a geographical term consisting of many different countries and cultures, not a single one, it is not a monolithic entity. Portuguese culture have nothing to do with American culture.
ILoveCoffee hahah. Really?then why using the umbrella term "western world"? Isnt there any cohesion among western people while comparing themselves with people from other cultures ? asian people or people in so-called eastern culture would definitely not share any cohesion because the whole concept eastern vs western is totally Eurocentric which already exists since ancient greek era.If you are talking about geography or continent, the concept of Europe should not exist because Europe is only a peninsula lying on the western part of EURASIA with bunches of surrounding islands. I agree with you that there are cultural diversity in western world but it is just not on par with any cultural difference among asian countries. If you see cultural differences between China and India is a sea, the difference between usa and Portugal is just a strait, and the difference between Portugal Spain and Italy is merely a river. From my point of view, the whole concept of Western world comes from medieval concept of christendom. If christendom is the equivalent with india or china, the cultural difference in western world is merely provincial or state difference in china or india.
Isn't the egg tart invented by the Portuguese? In Portugal it is called Pastel De Nata.
Nice video and thanks for long video
I like this channel and the host.
Great indepth video :-)
8:50 I thought the guy was mooning the camera and his friend was laughing at him Hahahaha that’s just his back right??
i would love to visit .
Your English and your job is outstanding.
What is this RUclips ??, it says it has 26 views and uploaded 15 hours ago and it doesn't show the video??, what is this premiere??
1:33 Guangzhou my fav city
and this why China so vested in further Hong Kong administration integration
In 2050, the whole delta/bay area is gonna be like an awesomely huge cyberpunk megacity
maybe complete with cyberpunk governance and corporate power too lol but one heck of a megacity
wow !! this is the future ….. well done china
This guy has the best job
and Macau connected to Zhuhai for several years.
Love China from India
The Delay No More T-shirt LOOOOL
CHINA💗💗💗
What APPSTORE is used in this area?
The Chinese people are hard working and innovative and India is no match but India is making good moves towards development.
Would you people stop calling Las Vegas of China, Silicon Valley of China, Venice of China....? Have some self respect and recognition of yourself. We have our own identity. We have our own style of doing things. Stop adopting those stupid tv shows like America got Talents, who wants to be millionaires etc...
Yes we learned and adopted their languages like English, French, Spanish and learned their technologies and cultures and step in their rings to compete with them. But I’m so tired of seeing our people copying and adopting things we can do better. Stay away from the western norms. China, you are unique, stay your path and kick in first gear and keep moving to advance . I’m proud so of you and so proud of you that you’re dominating in some areas!
i been to this Zhuhai Chinmelong and Panyu Chimelong like 5 times
its pronounced chimelong as in "chyme long" but i dont mind people make mistakes
This is what we called a real bridge.
CHINA,my country
New SF bay bridge:
3.5km long, 11 years to completion, $6.5B
HK-ZH-Macau bridge:
55km, 11 years, $19B
It's over the ocean, so don't argue that totalitarian regime has better efficiency than democracy simply because they can buy land cheap.
HK-ZH-Macau bridge includes a 6km tunnel
SF is concentrated cancer.
$1.5T divided by 65M people work out to a capita per GDP to around $23K
YES. BUT IT IS TOP HEAVY. MEANING 3 TO 5 MIL MAKE CLOSE TO 100K! AS RICH AS ANY METRO IN THE WORLD.
china might be already having close to 1000 billionaires. i will check up.
echt cool danke :)#
China get things done unlike U.S. look at california highway project is no where anyway been close to complete and might never do due to endless lawsuit.
that is my favourite project and probably most expensive one. lthey will get it done.
Great country. Great plan!
I dont see your point. HongKong has always been connected to the mainland....Shenzhen. Am I the only one that sees that??
The Best Place to Go Many Times!!!
11:11 Chimelong already has more visitors than Hong Kong Disneyland 😭😭😭
Had to watch 8 ads to get through this video
Do I need a Chinese visa for zuhai or hongkong visa will work
You need separate visa
Harshh Gupta Hong Kong is fine. To Zhuhai u could apply a Landing Visa in Chinese Custom
oh jezzz.. in hong kong you drive on the left side of the road and in mainland china its opposite.
That bridge was the Oakland bridge that burned down.
If it's done right, this Greater Bay Area has potential to be the richest megalopolis on Earth. Of course, nothing is guarantee.
2:39 Hong Kong not drive on left side, we drive on RIGHT side; and Mainland China they drive on LEFT side!
They gonna live for it or its just video !!! If simple video then why premiere???
There are 3 different legal systems and 3 different currencies and the most advanced censorship firewall in this bay area which the bay areas of New York, San Francisco, and Tokyo share none.
What are the pros and cons of it? Please share your thoughts below.
In the constitutions of macau and hongkong it says china can fully annex them whenever they want so legally this wouldnt be a problem. Currencies arent a problem as in most asian countries even in small street businesses you can pay digitally. The most interesting is the firewall in my opinion since you cant take away so much freedom with nothing happening. Another question are the property prizes... in anticipation of the fusion of hongkong with the mainland makes them rise like crazy, making the area maybe more of a los angeles/miami than the second silicon valley they want
The fact of the matter is that HK is too different from China for people to want to commute there to work etc, resulting in low demand and a waste of resources
Damn chimelong has come a long way. From just a hotel to this. I remember living across the zoo (first park they built) in Panyu and watching them build the circus, theme park, and water park
Uptin Saiidi -- did you typed that geographically errormeous subtitle of "Bridging HK, Macau and Mainland China"? -- All 3 areas are on the Chinese mainland.
Therefore, the correct description is Bridging HK, Macau and the PRC.
I want to go to that theme park.
I have been there. To tell you what, it doesn't look as good as the video describes.
I have seen most videos on this channel about China. I wasn't aware of this much progress of China. I have lived in Silicon Valley for many years and haven't seen that much of Technology used in daily lives. Chinese companies are racing ahead of American companies in terms of Technology.
At this point I have a question to Chinese people reading this(I know they have their own RUclips but in case you are reading this please answer). Why do so many Chinese want to come to US when their own country is doing much better that US?
If u put them into 14 billion people,u won't say that's many😂
Curiosity, education, less competition, big houses and big backyards, better air, diversified investment...
They use VPN to get over the firewall so lots of Chinese on RUclips actually.
Many wanted to go and have an top of the world education, see the world, experience the different culture, and be more “international” for future competitions. Some of them would choose to stay forever for various reasons. Im in canada, and one of the factors is less competition, more relaxed working environment, better air and free medical. But i do miss China for many other reasons.
There are only a limited number of places in China for top universities. Only geniuses have the chance. Those who fail the exams can only go to the United States to get a better education
China is still a developing country :)And the entertainment industry in the US is still leading the world,so as the education and living conditions!China still has a long way to go tbh
Ah, the Silicon Delta!
it's shifting, ah
You didn't give Macau justice by only showing the Macau tower and cotai strip and egg tarts
I just wonder how much money the Chinese govt. would be having in their treasures to spend on such mega infrastructural projects. Their govt. is like fucking crazy man! They just do any sort of high spending projects within a few span of time like 2-3 years whereas in India, those projects would have taken 8-10 years. From where do they get their money?
3:22 "while others worry Hongkong will lose business to mainland China as it becomes more accessible." ?????? what, more accessible = losing business???
你很难理解这些人的脑子
Its not that convenient if you look on Google maps the bridge/tunnel is located next to the HK airport. It takes 1 to 1.5 hrs to get to the airport from the city and isnt cheap to get to. Then you need to take a bus (you need a license for macau and zhuhai and i dont have one same as many ppl in hk) so overall its expensive to use, to build and its time consuming.
I'm not really sure if the reason for the bridge is really to connect HK to other places or is it to link communist china more into HK. From a political point of view, this bridge and the high speed rail is to disrupt HK's sovereignty and independence as an SAR (i dont support HK becoming independent its not possible). To China, HK is now just a small city so they dont respect it now compared to 22 years ago when the handover was happening. The greater bay area is a camouflage to China's sneaky plans to take HK and Macau I highly doubt people in both SAR regions will move to the area under Chinese laws. HK & Macau cant be independent cities and must have a country supporting it and protecting it. HK needs to remain the SAR identity even after 2047 otherwise there will be another refugee wave of people going to the US, UK, Japan, Canda, Australia just like the time before 1997.
A bridge that changes China!
Sounds like a plusable goal and a lot of fun. Congrats on all so far. Later Guys😚😜😎
GREAT
The problem with the bridge is that no one uses it - only 100 cars use it per day
Reason being is that a lot of paperwork has to be filled in to use it as the insurance system is not compatible between the two countries and no one is allowed to drive into Macau due to congestion (except 100 specially approved business owners)
The border has more friction that the one between Russia and Finland or between US and Canada despite being in the same country - at least they have a green card system which allows insurance policies to be accepted over the border and they don’t have to get a separate set of license plates
And if you compare it to say the Channel Tunnel goods (not people) can move freely due to the customs union but HK is it’s individual customs zone to maintain Hong Kong’s uniqueness
Plus you can drive across as long as you have your V5C/logbook with you - no green card/any type of paperwork needed
no things are done perfectly simultanously, give it sometime for the officials to work out paperwork deals
Miss this place so much! See you soon after COVID 19 ( with Vaccine)
I want to go to Hawaii and the United States and Texas.
You realize Hawaii and Texas are part of the United States, right? That's like saying I want to go to Beijing and China and Shanghai...
USA is a shithole, and I'm American. Trust me. Nothing to see there. Australia is a FAR BETTER OPTION.
johnnyXXX i think thats the point he was trying to make here. Some people (including HKers) refer to mainland as China, and HK as HK, as if HK wasnt part of China. He was just using an analogy so other people
Can understand better.
Arsenio Buck nope. USA is still way better than Australia although i agree with your comments about USA. To me, the turn off is the safety and gun issue, but i guess it depends on the cities and areas.
I'm pretty proud of China's accomplishments in all these worldwide first tier infrastructure, but at the same time I have to say this is not the China I'm experiencing personally everyday living in Beijing. White ppl or majority of foreign ppl have it easier here in China compared to the average Chinese Joes by just teaching English, working 35 hrs a week, easily making more money than Chinese workers plus reimbursements for the housing. While the average Chinese have to unwillingly work longer hours, having a hard time affording housing that's almost more expensive than San Fran Bay area.
nice~>good 9:53
