That explains why he is so normal and perceptive. He was homeless when he came to China and run out of money. Wow how bold is he to admit to that. And to be so consistent with his values etc. I very appreciate his wisdom and morality.
There is no shame in coming from the mud and growing into a mighty tree. for his root and the fruit of his labor will be reflected in the forest he started..
Void being homeless everywhere in the world means - to be the worse of all possible people. Being in a jail is more appreciated then being homeless. But he was homeless and he confessed it ....very very courageous.
@@serpentza serpentza My first thought when watching this video is that it was a way for you to protect yourself and your family by letting the 'others' know you could do damage to them if they harm you. The key phrase 'I don't plan to, AT LEAST FOR NOW, to release the footage' combined with brief 'preview' clips of said footage says it all. You are playing a dangerous game of Chess, er, Go is perhaps a better comparison. It's their move now. Let's hope they decide to do nothing, a la solution in the 80's movie classic War Games. Be safe!
@@kedabro1957 exactly, whatever leverage he thinks he has won’t stop them from getting to him and if anything just make him an even bigger target, not that hard for the people he’s addressing to hack and blackmail their way to him/ the people around him with the kind of resources they have
Watching your videos and learning the ins and outs of life not only in China but in a foreign country and a big city was the best thing I ever did. Celebrating my 8th month in Shenzhen. I've been sick for 7 of those months but I'm expecting my immuine system will adjust soon. You're an inspiration and you've helped me change my life. Thank you Winston. If I ever have the pleasure of bumping into you I owe you a beer and a very enthusisatic "stay awesome"
You're a very interesting guy, Winston. When life is at an end, you'll have one helluva story to tell. Very engaging channel you have here. Sincere, thoughtful, informative, and adventurous. Been watching for a while.
So happy my favorite RUclips star is going to live in my hometown. I'm continually amazed by your persistent compassion and not given into bitterness. Thank you for being real and courageous. And do be careful!
Dude, you guys make China look GOOD. You make it look like a huge country filled with a variety of unique people. We don't need you to tell us about the seedy underbelly or corruption, every country has this, and we all know that socialist and communist governments in China's case communist dictator ships don't work in the people's favor. Just keep doing what you're doing and stay safe.
they still use gutter oil in any second or thrid class restaurant across China.. travelers most likely go to those restaurants.. watch..still use it as of now! ruclips.net/video/vp92BlLLVEI/видео.html
Correct. I prefer to see the good and the bad. I've seen RUclips videos by some foreigners who only talk about the good stuff and it seems like they are living in a fantasy world.
He is just trying to make the topic which can attracting people 's attention to click on it. He knows China always bring attentions especially if find some negative side. How about his own country negative side (if I remember that he is from South Africa)
It's an English figure of speech; a colloquialism. To English people, it means: Everybody has dirty laundry, sooner or later, and they don't want everybody to see it. Likewise, every country has bad things which they want nobody to see.
@@qian30 What does him being from South Africa have to do with it. Nothing at all. When you made your statement, you tried saying he was click baiting with video without saying it. Everyone is going to have their opinion on China. All it is, is an opinion. We all have a right to our opinions. Next time instead of beating around the bush just say it directly.
It's only recently due to Serpentza's channel that I have started to consider having a holiday in China. Some of his video's paint a negative picture of China, but most of his videos celebrate what China has to offer. I think the value of Winston's channel is that it provides a bit of a reality check to potenctial visitor's about what to expect, rather than arriving being completely naive and unprepared. Very Cool Channel.
@@RicardoBubel totally agree. I don't think anyone would disagree. Winston's videos always show a lot of nuance in them. Even if there is something shown that is negative, he shows that it's not always a black and white issue. I'm thinking that someone has gotten to Winston who dosen't appreciate nuance of any kind otherwise there would be no need for this video.
@@RicardoBubel You are correct that no country is perfect. I live in Toronto. A couple weeks ago two guys started shooting at each other on the freeway. Both of them are dead, and the resulting crash injured several other people. We have corrupt politicians and hookers and scams and drug dealers. Maybe some places have more bad things than Canada. But everywhere does have bad things. The reason I like this channel is because it tells me the real stuff about China and how to stay out of trouble.
No one is prefect , countries and governments are no exception. If you compare what they do generally in China to other western countries yes you can call it strange but not weird. In short being the 2nd largest economy from one of the poorest countries 40 years ago, feeding the most populated is not a easy task. . Of course China still have a lot to improve, we have too here in UK 🇬🇧. Well done China , what a magnificent achievement in just 40 years 👍👍👍
@@zhaoxunyan4016 a chinese person talking about morals. Lol. Ive been in china for many years and I can assure you Americans have many more morals than Chinese. In fact id say China is the least morally competent country on earth. Its a clusterfuck of human indicency over there. You are all ignorant about the world and the views you guys have are so naive and tribal. Its insane how your governement has brainwashed you all. Taiwanese arent the human crap that chinese mainladers are
@@un1i the US is the same. They are friends with saudi arabia and give dictators who are friendly with them power. Morals go out the window when national/personal interest comes into play.
Winston, as a true fan, I’m a bit worried about how this stuff may come across with the powers of China. Please stay awesome. My family and I are looking forward to your new project.
I agree... sounds like he's replying to a threat with a threat. He could/should have toned it down more to the point of "I have video of the downsides just like every other country that you should be aware of", instead of these direct naming of indiscretions. Not a good way to start an overseas business. You don't sh!t were you eat. Stay safe Winston, and remember how past videos will resurface and direct your (and wife's) future .
He has been in to the this business for quite sometime, and if he has been apprehensive or something wouldn't have made this far.He isn't an ordinary built for sure.
Winston is fighting against communism and its policy of information discourse. He is trying to insight a revolution. Winston Your running cause you know "the noose" is tightening. Get another day job bud.. Your poking the dragon. Your putting your chinese family in danger for your own mental "cauc" self righteous views. China is not a Christian country. You need to stop this bullshit as this hurts all people not just chinese who still live in China. It is a one party rule. Negative changes to laws is immediate when bozo like you screw it all up. Just take your wife and Leave already... for God sake...
@@thanos1242 I have seen this expression before from chinese people, what does it mean? I am assuming it means paid people by the governement to trash on people that don't follow their agenda online. Thanks in advance :) .
@@LironBerisha They used to be called the Tencents Army, but inflation took hold. It's a way of making a living and feeding a family. If you make comments about videos of China, then those people can earn some money. They don't have many chances to do that in a day. It happens; we accept it, and we should not rise to the bait. Understanding is needed: Sometimes people are faced with very stark choices, and they have to find a way to survive. The 50cents Army is one valid way, and it is far better than using some of the bad options which Winston has seen. China has a lot of good things about it, but you need to use discernment, accept it for what it is, and let them live as Chinese people. We have no right, or ability, to make social changes in any other country but our own, and, even at home, we only have limited abilities. And I expect some adverse comments here, so shall not respond, and shall be happy that someone has earned another 50 cents. 😉
Your honesty is always valued. Though much of your knowledge might not seem to be useful to you now, it might become useful in the future. I think it would be good to continue preserving all of your documentaries, even the ones you've never aired.
I think you should be careful when you return to China. It just seems that the government might not want you expressing some of these opinions. Please be careful!
I'm Chinese and I agree with some of your opinion,like the first daughter story. people do that kind of things because in Chinese marriage only man can give their kids their family name. Use me as a example, my son's family name will be Song. no matter who I marry. And Chinese people think the succession of the family name represents the continuation of the entire family. So many Chinese people think son is better than daughter(because daughter can't continue their family title). Most of Chinese people especially the people who have low education still have this kind of thought. pardon for my poor English.
NOT just family name, also because of gender inequality, the male in a family stands for labour/manpower, in old times, it's always the male support parents when they are old, etc..... this is a thing in our long history, in our deep culture, it's hard to explain with serval sentences.
Warcy, in Europe its also quite common to pass their dad's surname to children, but they can also choose their mom's surname. In china I believe its different. They can only choose their dad's surname
My wife {who is Chinese) says you always talk bad about China and I shouldn't take your opinion to heart and need to listen to other people.... but I love your vids
@@mclongkock6678 its a start. I want total boycott of chinese travellers and imports. Here in New Zealand its illegal to buy property in China or immigrate there but they demand to come here.
conmanumber1 There have been famines where millions died. Mao retained power easily. The people most adversely affected could not mount a revolt. Still can’t. I decided long ago that foreign nationals should only have the same property rights Americans have in their home countries. Mexico’s laws influenced me on that over 40 years ago. I am bowing to the wisdom of their countries on that one issue. They do not foreigners owning much of their country. I don’t either. Become a citizen and be subject to the responsibilities of being one. Know the language, be subject to jury duty, be draftable in time of war, etc. I am a second gen on my dad’s side. Both of his parents were from different non-English speaking countries. If they had not learned English they could not have talked to each other when they met. A country needs a common language so everybody can socialize easily. Language differences segregate faster than anything.
@UCLLtGjnt8fl9Xa1xnipfMIQ Heck, if they can chop you up and bring in special crew with bone saws and then take your dismemberment and of course demise and nobody does anything about it, you can imagine the weak hand he has.

Good luck! That strategy didn't work too well for Meng Hongwei, and he was the Chief of f**king INTERPOL! Hope it will work for you, Winston. Hate to see you joining Meng.
Very well said. I lived in Beijing for 10 years from 2000 onward, never in Shenzhen, and e Ihave had a different set of perspective but all in all they’re the same dirt laundry. I’ve been watching your videos since I don’t know when; nice job, always candid and blatant, never pretentious, good insights, very informative... thanks.
He is (very respectfully) showing that hes not a threat, but he is also not an easy target. I hope whatever made this necessary gets resolved quickly and in your favor and that your family stays safe.
You are delusional. He is a jobless dosser contributing nothing and China doesn't need him. We have them in UK too, don't want to work and then slag the country off every chance they get.
Hes absolutely showing he is a threat. He says all the horrible things he saw and continually mentions how he has footage and could easily release it, but he wont. He doesnt even have to release it as he essentially detailed it already
Bryce McKenzie Okay, but this idea that all cultures are to be respected and valued is just wrong. Some cultures are worse than others and if we don’t accept that, we’re only doing them injustices.
Your distinction between the people of a culture, the policies of the government, and the unintended negative side effects of a society are highly intelligent and respectable. Kudos to your announcement to the Chinese Government that you will leave them alone if they leave you alone!
I love this guy, and I love how honest he is. And the way he speaks about culture, he isnt shy of. Whenever I watch his videos, I get awstrucked with china, and also mesmerized i wish the world is more like him, learning each other cultures, at the same time brave to not bow down to what is wrong. Thank you serpentza
@@westybestie Sure because hes dumb enough to leave those drives right where they can get to them in China, before releasing this..... not in Taiwan, no in the US.
Drugs, corruption, gambling, prostitution etc. etc. - everyday life in every other country around the world.

I'm saying that you don't have to. We get it.
Same here in South East Asia.... the youngest kid in the family is rented out to the sexploitation game. If there is no “youngest girl”, the youngest male becomes a working ladyboy. It’s amazing to see such strong family loyalty and acceptance of culture.
In many ways I think that non-exposure is the bravest and most compassionate response - I admire your passion and bravery for doing what you do & I also hope you & your family are very much OK! I'm Scottish & in the 50's & 60's Glasgow had a famous gang culture, very brutal, very glorified. Easterhouse, an area in Glasgow had, almost world renown. It strikes me that poverty & need are the motivators of such a culture, here & elsewhere & though there's less government/popular focus on it now, the growing poverty, malnutrition, poor health care & deficient education in Scotland will probably revive this gone, but not forgotten culture.
This video kind of comes across like "Hey listen China, I got some dirt on you and you better not do anything to obstruct my life or socially ostracize me or the whole world will find out about the unimpeded export of heroin/fentanyl to the US" China has insanely strict drug laws and the government watches people but some how this has no effect on the drug flow out of China.
@A Artisan LOL TOTAL BS You don't even know your own laws LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finished drugs are shipped from china just as pre-cursor chemicals are shipped from china. THEY ARE BOTH ILLEGAL!!!!. The only difference is sometimes they think they can sneak precursors through the border easier. They are not sand and sugar. Do you get paid to lie, or are you just this stupid for free? HERE are the fact you propagandist. Read it and weep China has ratified the UN Convention on Drug Precursors. Precursor chemicals are subject to strict license requirements on production, sales, purchase and transportation in China.

@David Richards LOL You are so desperate. Instead of refuting anything that I said was wrong about their drugs business, you had dig around to find something LOL PATHETIC little troll. Is asbestos banned in China little desperate David? NO, THEY ARE STILL MINING IT 20% of world production and it is still in legal use in China. So how is this relevant? You want to go after every item exported that is dangerous from both countries? LOL You will loose badly, china's list will be a lot longer than Canada's This is about illegal drugs and the denial by the 50 cent army on here, trying to say what they sold was legal (precursor) WHEN IT WAS NOT. Now lets look at your feeble whataboutism, diversion will get you nowhere. Where is the link to this "aggressively markets it abroad" and it has to be current not something dug up from years ago? After all fentanyl problem is current. There really isn't much market for asbestos these days except in concrete pipe production, banned in most markets, banned in more than 55 countries around the world. You didn't bother considering that, you just have to defend their Precursor exporting with something. Do you have dreams of owning a drug lab? Member of the big Circle boys? LOL On October 18th, 2018 the liberal government announced that asbestos mining and use will be banned as of January 30th, 2019. Exclusions are the million tons of asbestos tailings located in Quebec which will be mined for magnesium to support the transportation industry. Also some specialized asbestos products such as those used in nuclear power plants will stay available. Great website on this, not government and they are the reason for the ban. Can't say you would see a website like that in China LOL www.canadianasbestosexports.ca/Home SO full ban hasn't happened yet, in force January 30, 2019 So they are allowing the tailings to have magnesium extracted. So now what is going on in China? is it banned and horrible Canada is smuggling it in with connected gangs? LOL!!!!!! China is the world’s number one consumer of asbestos. Rapid industrialization has created a seemingly insatiable demand for the dangerous substance.

So drug gangs go where you can openly buy them for cash, CHINA LOL Now meth is becoming a major problem in China, so maybe they will try and do something. Your police are more about saving face, then being constructive. Much like you, you point the finger everywhere else to save face. Instead of being constructive and solving issues.

Dale hasn't done much international travel. Have you had police pulled you over for for speeding ... but if you had $50 he would let you go? That level of corruption isn't in the US.

Love you Winston, your honesty is a great and honourable part of your character, keep up the brilliant vids! Please be careful when going back to China, keep safe😎😊
I first started watching you when i discovered your drinking videos. I've seen your channel evolve greatly, bringing me closer to China than I've ever been before.

@@zhaoxunyan4016 But where is the incentive for the police to do something about it? If the environment in China becomes right for it, he would be able to report it. But until then, there really is nothing he can do about it. By that time, it might already be too late.
@@zhaoxunyan4016 CerebralDreams(Another user in the comments), nailed it when mentioning the purpose of this video. This is what was stated: "This video sounds more like he's declaring the existence of an "insurance policy" to the Chinese government: If something happens to him or his family, then someone he knows can release the footage wholesale. Chinese officials probably wouldn't want that information going public.". This is just one of many reasons why he hasn't released the footage yet and is exactly why he is not evil. When the time comes, Winston will be ready and do whatever it takes to protect himself and his friends and family.
To be fair, every country has good and bad so it is not just China. There are many homeless in California as it is very expensive to live here. Whenever you go anywhere, do not be too idealistic because you will get disappointed. Everything that you said is not shocking to me at all since it can happen anywhere. I am actually surprised that you are shocked to know about this. I guess you were living a great life and were in fantasyland.
Joe Blow Honestly, I hate to admit it but what you said is very true. I grew up in California(in the SF Bay Area) and used to love it. But nowadays, it is really becoming a very very expensive place to live with rent and mortgages becoming so high that many cannot afford to pay it so end up on the street. San Francisco is now a hell hole with so many homeless that it is ridiculous with every little thing being very expensive. I used to love SF but now dread going there as it has become a dump. My family only have our own house because my brother bought it in 1996 when houses were not expensive but now houses are so expensive that everyone is leaving due to the ridiculously high cost of living. I truly miss the good old days that seem to be long gone... ok I am getting nostalgic again. My home state is Washington state and my uncle and cousins from my mom and dad’s sides still live there. It is a bit boring and rains a lot but life there is a lot easier than California and much cheaper. My cousin lives in Oregon which is a pretty good state too but can get boring as well. My other cousin wants to retire in Oregon one day when he gets old.
Welcome to San Diego Winston! I have a deep love for that city since I was born and raised there for the first 30 years of my life. I’m happy for the growth in your channel, c-milk’s, and adv China. I miss San Diego but I’m glad you guys chose there for a home base. You chose well.
@MikeDrop - why do you limit yourself and stay at home (US)? I grew up in west berlin - moved to london in my 20s and now live in Sydney being an Australian Citizen... Excuse my french - but fuck sitting at home dreaming about shit... just do it...
I’ve always been intrigued by China. Your videos show the people of China look happy and friendly! We may not agree with the government but the people are mostly good. Keep up the good work. I appreciate your insightfulness.
Don’t worry Winston. You are a modern day saint! From a fellow morality driven man, I respect you so much. Definition of a real man, not scared to stand up against all odds and retaliation. Winston, you are doing and have done your bit, don’t feel you have to fix the whole country, sometimes people just don’t want to change. Change is scary for them! You’re a hero Winston. Take into account the horrible things you’ve seen and heard and let it build you as a man, a husband, a parent, but don’t feel you need to fix it all. You’ve done your part, much more than anyone else even in China when it comes to this RUclips and spreading of information. Bless!
This guy isn't the one that's going to be in trouble, The Chinese government always goes after the enemies families and friends. he's playing with fire

@@cerebraldreams4738 I also had similar thoughts. The whole video, in fact, was a bit of a *headscratch* for me. We (if you've been watching a while) know that while he does rag on china / chinese culture... he tends to do it in a relatively calm / sane / methodical manner. This on the other hand looked alot like a 'If I get arrested / disappear / have a 'heart attack' - I'll release my stuff...' kind of threat. Who knows? Anyway, sounds alot like he's also got plans to get the hell out of dodge. So.. one hopes that he makes it wherever.. safely.
Les Whynin actually it doesn’t happen everywhere, but to shed light on it wherever it exists is to expose the people doing it. You’re an accomplice to it if you don’t expose what you know. Why would you talk about the 19 year old being forced into prostitution and then stay in the very apartment she paid for. If you had any balls at all you would have tried to find her and help her out of that situation. I’m done with your propaganda.
Jim Car I agree he ought to do something about that situation, and I never said anything to the contrary. However to state that this doesn't exist in most countries is false. I'll assume that you're American for the sake of argument. The U.S. Justice Department estimates that over 14,500-17,500 people are trafficked into the U,S. every year (Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_trafficking_in_the_United_States). What actions have you taken to prevent this?
Les Whynin ...a huge portion of the trafficking done within the US is done by foreigners and foreign cartels. if you think all places are equally evil I suggest you live in North Korea or even where I’m from, Venezuela. America is pretty good.
We recently moved to China, partly inspired by Winston's videos. So he hardly made it look bad to us. Yes, recent videos have betrayed a growing frustration but this was never the norm.
serpentza: i have something bad to say. me: go ahead tell me serpentza: sorry i can not say them me: why serpentza: i have a bunch of evidence and stories but i can not show it me: WTF MAN???!!!!!
Thank you for another great video, and for being respectful and cognizant about your position. To those who say that bribery, prostitution, drugs, corruption, etcetera exist everywhere, the issue isn’t that they *don’t* exist elsewhere; it is the *amount of tolerance* and lack of action to address these issues that is disturbing.
Hey Winston, long time subscriber and first time commenting.(rarely do) I am saying this only because I like your channel. This video can be looked as a possible threat to China. especially when you say at least for now( as though now you have something to lose and in the future you might now have...), as the Hell part as well. saying this because I have witnessed many youtubers getting personal threats from outside which resulted in deleting videos and changing slightly their topics of discussions. they became more and more radicalized as they saw that it bring more views/subscribers and saw you starting to go on this path and just thought to wary you on this video. I know you are not that kind of person but others may not. Thank you very much and Greeting from Israel, sorry for my shitty English.
I remember a lot of your & C-Milk's discussion regarding whether Chinese are racists, and I can also see you understand that the position they take regarding "outsiders" is something ingrained and not likely to change because they are largely a homogeneous society despite the fact that there are minorities outside the Han Chinese. My wife is a teacher from Thailand and she went on a short trip to China with her school group. You might think that Thai tourists are treated differently from white/European-looking ones but that is emphatically NOT the case. In fact the Chinese took advantage BIG TIME of the fact that Asians can sometimes be trusting and gullible when someone in a "white lab coat" is scamming them. At the airport they were conned by a group of scammers who herded them into a room for a "free medical exam" and then pushed outrageously expensive "supplements" on them based on the medical exam "results." Outside of the tour group, she found herself in a mall where strong-arn guards prohibited her from leaving until she BOUGHT something. The kinds of scams you find in China are endless and I can say although Thailand may have it's share of scammers, they are in no way as prevalent and brazen as they are in China. There is so much good about China to hopefully take some of the edge off the dishonesty.
@@dimelo3027 It's true that America and South Africa have all those things -- in fact, South Africa probably has even more of every one of those problems. But the difference is that the Chinese government likes to control their citizens' access to any information that doesn't line up with their narrative. The video seemed almost more like a threat, imo. Like "attn: Chinese government, I have a lot of footage, so leave my wife alone" kinda thing. While everyone knows China isn't some magical land that's free of all the negative issues that plague the rest of the world, the Chinese government still wants us to believe it anyway. Since they're very concerned about their image, possibly for propaganda reasons, they would be very unhappy to see that sort of content being made. Though as far as government spying/meddling in its citizens' lives, America has the same issue as well, as I'm sure the other superpower countries do too. I guess the American government is a bit more discreet about their information manipulation, while China uses it as a way to flaunt their power. I'm not condemning China for some of their governing style - I may not like or agree with it, but I understand why they're doing it, and I respect their right as a country to do what they want in their own boarders. I'm just pointing out why China in particular is in a unique position to be harmed more by this type of information than other countries might be.
This almost seems like a video saying "quit messing with me and my family. I could release stuff that makes China look really, really bad, but I do not want to. So quit messing with me, and I will not have to."
@@JohnSmith-fq3rgIn the US you imprison and and put to work petty criminals to fund the private companies that own your prisons (they are paid per inmate), often this leads to minor offenders mixing with more hardened criminals and gangs, meaning when they get out they have more criminal connections and probably a higher likelihood of committing serious crime. The China bit is about accurate though. (edited because my comment wasn't showing. No idea why)
@@timjones2329 Yeah our systems have problems, but the difference is people spend their lives in prison, not in another person's chest cavity, and executions take decades to give ample time for appeals and new evidence to surface; rape is an occasional problem in some US prisons, namely the bigger more dangerous state ones for big cities and federal prisons, whereas in communist china rape isn't a problem, it's the solution, and both men, women and children are gang raped by guards atleast once in the political prisons on their way in, and again as punishment or as desired. That's how they control their slave labor force. Their actual slave labor force. US prisons offer work and the vast majority prisoners practically beg for the opportunity out of boredom and stress, the communists don't offer it, they force it, with rape, beatings and death as punishment for defiance or inability.
@@patrickpaganini some weak minded white people might get that type of delusion of grandeur if they lived in China for too long, they mistaken Chinese people's curiosity for white people, as admiration and a form of worship. A sense of self righteous superiority is what we are seeing here. this guy is losing it. LOL
This guy is only a coward. He's always looking for excuses for his opinions, but he likes the money from youtube too much to quit. So he just baits with hints to what he knows, his videos are more and more clickbait. It's obvious for anyone not brain dead that China, like any other country on this Earth, has gangs, drugs, sex trafficking and all that. And there are shitty people everywhere, that mother selling her daughter doesn't have much to do with her nationality or ethnicity. It's only a problem if these things take place on a large scale and society accepts them, but since Winston doesn't touch on this, this video is useless for anyone but him making a few bucks.
I had what I called a kill switch for years. If I did not log in each day and hit a 'switch' some damaging info would be sent everywhere. I believe it kept me alive and people safe. I still have it but it's not a daily thing.
Thank you Sir You one of the rare person who tell and shows your story about China in authentic way to me as i was living just 4,5 years in China and traveld alot too many thing's and experiences made my self during my stay beside your attitude seems pretty down to earth Cheers and stay safe
@。獨角戲素菜1 I apologise if you have misunderstood me I did not mean to say anything about smearing I just don't believe that there is a thing as a perfect country and with my first comment I wanted to say that I can relate with the fact there are some messed up things in countries that might make them look bad
Can't believe people would say that to you. If people can't see your heart then that says alot about them. Well done for sticking to your own guidelines. 🙏
Just got back from my first trip to China: I'm going to keep watching your channel for perspective and news. Looking forward to 2019 and really hoping to visit China again this year. Thanks...
It is just amazing how every single video I watch on this channel relates perfectly to what I feel and think about China after 10 years living here...All the frustrations, repulsions and angers that I can feel sometimes, and that I have to swallow as, yes, we are guests, but also because there is more great people here than probably the total population of Europe and the US combined. And I am worried for them for the future. They need to switch from a import/export economy to a internal consumption economy, and that will hurt...especially with the latest non-sense government crackdown on absolutely anything free thinking, free speech, free access to information and overall a tendency to close off to any outside ideas and mounting of ultra-nationalism...
Well remember China is still a developing country, 40 years ago that's chaos in the whole country. I am not say the situation not need to improve, but we need time. In fact, I witnessed some things that terrified me when I gone to Canada for studying, but that won’t let me criticize Canada as a bad country. Every country have its own problem, that’s it. Any way, enjoy your life in China or anywhere else.
In the US we have a media that airs our laundry so much most people overseas think it is a terrible place. Every country has it's problems. It is awareness of the problems that make things change. It isn't your place to do it but someone should.
Wait, so.... Why bring it up? I don't get it. Are you sending a message? Is this a treat, a warning? I'm confused. The thing I'm wondering it's watching your latest videos, are you guys going to be ok going back to China now?
'Are you ready to go to the beach?'
'Yes, one minute, just fixing my tie'
Underrated comment. 🤣😁😉👍
The apparent necessity for the subtext of this video is concerning. Wishing you and your family all the best.

That explains why he is so normal and perceptive. He was homeless when he came to China and run out of money. Wow how bold is he to admit to that. And to be so consistent with his values etc. I very appreciate his wisdom and morality.
dai east of course. To confess to homelessness etc requires boldness
There is no shame in coming from the mud and growing into a mighty tree. for his root and the fruit of his labor will be reflected in the forest he started..
Void being homeless everywhere in the world means - to be the worse of all possible people. Being in a jail is more appreciated then being homeless. But he was homeless and he confessed it ....very very courageous.

And that’s exactly what I was going to ask. Nice insurance policy.
@@serpentza serpentza My first thought when watching this video is that it was a way for you to protect yourself and your family by letting the 'others' know you could do damage to them if they harm you. The key phrase 'I don't plan to, AT LEAST FOR NOW, to release the footage' combined with brief 'preview' clips of said footage says it all. You are playing a dangerous game of Chess, er, Go is perhaps a better comparison. It's their move now. Let's hope they decide to do nothing, a la solution in the 80's movie classic War Games. Be safe!
Its basically ive got something u want and u got something i want
@@serpentza your so wise :))
This sounded like protection for you and your family, hope everything is okay...
@Ezra "Actors"?
Yeah, exactly
Pretty sure saying "I've got footage" doesn't make his family safer. If anything, this was an incredibly defiant video to make.

Watching your videos and learning the ins and outs of life not only in China but in a foreign country and a big city was the best thing I ever did. Celebrating my 8th month in Shenzhen. I've been sick for 7 of those months but I'm expecting my immuine system will adjust soon. You're an inspiration and you've helped me change my life. Thank you Winston. If I ever have the pleasure of bumping into you I owe you a beer and a very enthusisatic "stay awesome"
You're a very interesting guy, Winston. When life is at an end, you'll have one helluva story to tell. Very engaging channel you have here. Sincere, thoughtful, informative, and adventurous. Been watching for a while.

Dude, you guys make China look GOOD. You make it look like a huge country filled with a variety of unique people. We don't need you to tell us about the seedy underbelly or corruption, every country has this, and we all know that socialist and communist governments in China's case communist dictator ships don't work in the people's favor.

Insurance policy how?
You noticed that little part with the hard drives too huh?
I was just going to comment that this video feels like it's really addressed to the Chinese government, not us.
Da scary Chinese government gonna get him!!
This is actually pretty serious business.
i really thought you were going to talk about laundry.
He is just trying to make the topic which can attracting people 's attention to click on it. He knows China always bring attentions especially if find some negative side. How about his own country negative side (if I remember that he is from South Africa)
It's an English figure of speech; a colloquialism. To English people, it means: Everybody has dirty laundry, sooner or later, and they don't want everybody to see it. Likewise, every country has bad things which they want nobody to see.
@@qian30 well well well. this aged well 🤭
@@qian30 What does him being from South Africa have to do with it. Nothing at all.

Next time instead of beating around the bush just say it directly.
@@qian30 ducking 五毛
It's only recently due to Serpentza's channel that I have started to consider having a holiday in China. Some of his video's paint a negative picture of China, but most of his videos celebrate what China has to offer. I think the value of Winston's channel is that it provides a bit of a reality check to potenctial visitor's about what to expect, rather than arriving being completely naive and unprepared. Very Cool Channel.
No country is perfect
China have more Pros than Cons . No 1 land is perfect.
@@RicardoBubel totally agree. I don't think anyone would disagree.
Winston's videos always show a lot of nuance in them. Even if there is something shown that is negative, he shows that it's not always a black and white issue. I'm thinking that someone has gotten to Winston who dosen't appreciate nuance of any kind otherwise there would be no need for this video.
I don't think most visitors have to worry about anything unless they are doing political activism work.
@@RicardoBubel You are correct that no country is perfect. I live in Toronto. A couple weeks ago two guys started shooting at each other on the freeway. Both of them are dead, and the resulting crash injured several other people. We have corrupt politicians and hookers and scams and drug dealers. Maybe some places have more bad things than Canada. But everywhere does have bad things. The reason I like this channel is because it tells me the real stuff about China and how to stay out of trouble.
Chinese government, "weird flex but ok..."
No one is prefect , countries and governments are no exception.
If you compare what they do generally in China to other western countries yes you can call it strange but not weird.
In short being the 2nd largest economy from one of the poorest countries 40 years ago, feeding the most populated is not a easy task. .
Of course China still have a lot to improve, we have too here in UK 🇬🇧.
Well done China , what a magnificent achievement in just 40 years 👍👍👍

Thanks for not being CNN Winston!
Winston, as a true fan, I’m a bit worried about how this stuff may come across with the powers of China. Please stay awesome. My family and I are looking forward to your new project.
I agree... sounds like he's replying to a threat with a threat. He could/should have toned it down more to the point of "I have video of the downsides just like every other country that you should be aware of", instead of these direct naming of indiscretions. Not a good way to start an overseas business. You don't sh!t were you eat.
Stay safe Winston, and remember how past videos will resurface and direct your (and wife's) future .
I have no idea why you guys are taking these chances. ????? Be careful please.
He has been in to the this business for quite sometime, and if he has been apprehensive or something wouldn't have made this far.He isn't an ordinary built for sure.
Winston is fighting against communism and its policy of information discourse. He is trying to insight a revolution. Winston Your running cause you know "the noose" is tightening. Get another day job bud.. Your poking the dragon. Your putting your chinese family in danger for your own mental "cauc" self righteous views. China is not a Christian country. You need to stop this bullshit as this hurts all people not just chinese who still live in China. It is a one party rule. Negative changes to laws is immediate when bozo like you screw it all up.

Thanks in advance :) .
@@LironBerisha They used to be called the Tencents Army, but inflation took hold. It's a way of making a living and feeding a family. If you make comments about videos of China, then those people can earn some money. They don't have many chances to do that in a day.
It happens; we accept it, and we should not rise to the bait. Understanding is needed: Sometimes people are faced with very stark choices, and they have to find a way to survive. The 50cents Army is one valid way, and it is far better than using some of the bad options which Winston has seen.
China has a lot of good things about it, but you need to use discernment, accept it for what it is, and let them live as Chinese people. We have no right, or ability, to make social changes in any other country but our own, and, even at home, we only have limited abilities.
And I expect some adverse comments here, so shall not respond, and shall be happy that someone has earned another 50 cents. 😉
Your honesty is always valued. Though much of your knowledge might not seem to be useful to you now, it might become useful in the future.
I think it would be good to continue preserving all of your documentaries, even the ones you've never aired.
I think you should be careful when you return to China. It just seems that the government might not want you expressing some of these opinions. Please be careful!

@@dimelo3027 Butthurt?
I'm Chinese and I agree with some of your opinion,like the first daughter story. people do that kind of things because in Chinese marriage only man can give their kids their family name. Use me as a example, my son's family name will be Song. no matter who I marry. And Chinese people think the succession of the family name represents the continuation of the entire family. So many Chinese people think son is better than daughter(because daughter can't continue their family title). Most of Chinese people especially the people who have low education still have this kind of thought. pardon for my poor English.
So if you were an American, your kid wouldn't be named Song?
Nice point most of Asia is patriarchal in nature that's most point
NOT just family name, also because of gender inequality, the male in a family stands for labour/manpower, in old times, it's always the male support parents when they are old, etc..... this is a thing in our long history, in our deep culture, it's hard to explain with serval sentences.
Warcy, in Europe its also quite common to pass their dad's surname to children, but they can also choose their mom's surname. In china I believe its different. They can only choose their dad's surname
Your English is perfect. Thanks for the info.
My wife {who is Chinese) says you always talk bad about China and I shouldn't take your opinion to heart and need to listen to other people.... but I love your vids

conmanumber1 There have been famines where millions died. Mao retained power easily. The people most adversely affected could not mount a revolt. Still can’t. I decided long ago that foreign nationals should only have the same property rights Americans have in their home countries. Mexico’s laws influenced me on that over 40 years ago. I am bowing to the wisdom of their countries on that one issue. They do not foreigners owning much of their country. I don’t either. Become a citizen and be subject to the responsibilities of being one. Know the language, be subject to jury duty, be draftable in time of war, etc. I am a second gen on my dad’s side. Both of his parents were from different non-English speaking countries. If they had not learned English they could not have talked to each other when they met. A country needs a common language so everybody can socialize easily. Language differences segregate faster than anything.
I really appreciate your candor and total honesty. Even I as a world traveler have learned a lot about China from YOU. Keep it up and watch your six.

I'm Scottish & in the 50's & 60's Glasgow had a famous gang culture, very brutal, very glorified. Easterhouse, an area in Glasgow had, almost world renown. It strikes me that poverty & need are the motivators of such a culture, here & elsewhere & though there's less government/popular focus on it now, the growing poverty, malnutrition, poor health care & deficient education in Scotland will probably revive this gone, but not forgotten culture.
This video kind of comes across like "Hey listen China, I got some dirt on you and you better not do anything to obstruct my life or socially ostracize me or the whole world will find out about the unimpeded export of heroin/fentanyl to the US" China has insanely strict drug laws and the government watches people but some how this has no effect on the drug flow out of China.

HERE are the fact you propagandist. Read it and weep
China has ratified the UN Convention on Drug Precursors. Precursor chemicals are subject to strict license requirements on production, sales, purchase and transportation in China. In addition to that, China implements a pre-import and pre-export notification system for dual-use precursor chemicals.

@@zhaoxunyan4016 You like fake media as well, can't admit to the facts about china, just another propagandist yourself. It isn't blaming when it's true.
@David Richards LOL You are so desperate. Instead of refuting anything that I said was wrong about their drugs business, you had dig around to find something LOL PATHETIC little troll. Is asbestos banned in China little desperate David? NO, THEY ARE STILL MINING IT 20% of world production and it is still in legal use in China. So how is this relevant? You want to go after every item exported that is dangerous from both countries? LOL You will loose badly, china's list will be a lot longer than Canada's
This is about illegal drugs and the denial by the 50 cent army on here, trying to say what they sold was legal (precursor) WHEN IT WAS NOT.
Now lets look at your feeble whataboutism, diversion will get you nowhere.
Where is the link to this "aggressively markets it abroad" and it has to be current not something dug up from years ago? After all fentanyl problem is current. There really isn't much market for asbestos these days except in concrete pipe production, banned in most markets, banned in more than 55 countries around the world. You didn't bother considering that, you just have to defend their Precursor exporting with something. Do you have dreams of owning a drug lab? Member of the big Circle boys? LOL
On October 18th, 2018 the liberal government announced that asbestos mining and use will be banned as of January 30th, 2019. Exclusions are the million tons of asbestos tailings located in Quebec which will be mined for magnesium to support the transportation industry. Also some specialized asbestos products such as those used in nuclear power plants will stay available.
Great website on this, not government and they are the reason for the ban. Can't say you would see a website like that in China LOL
www.canadianasbestosexports.ca/Home
SO full ban hasn't happened yet, in force January 30, 2019 So they are allowing the tailings to have magnesium extracted.
So now what is going on in China? is it banned and horrible Canada is smuggling it in with connected gangs? LOL!!!!!!
China is the world’s number one consumer of asbestos. Rapid industrialization has created a seemingly insatiable demand for the dangerous substance.
Here is a little gem for you

Talking about peace and humanity while defending china's 50 cent army of propagandists. You are so fake. For example China is doing exactly what the US used to do with IMF, predatory lending in Africa. Propping up dictators like Mugabe, they are just getting started and continue with a tight fist on their people. While you babel on about Amerikkka LOL childish. Problem with people like you, you don't go issue by issue, you just rant against governments. All governments are capable of evil, but supporting the covering up of the abuse is more evil. And here you are defending them LOL Have a nice day
@David Richards No problem doesn't change what was said.

@A Artisan You tried to divert China's connection to the drug trade like it's all legal it's everyone else's' problem, even officials in China know its' illegal, like a good propagandist instead just lie "china only sells the base components for it which is about as illegal as selling sand and sugar since the raw chemical ingredients are ubiquitous" There is a reason many countries source these chemicals from china, it's not because we don't have them, we have them but they are very strictly controlled. So drug gangs go where you can openly buy them for cash, CHINA LOL Now meth is becoming a major problem in China, so maybe they will try and do something. Your police are more about saving face, then being constructive. Much like you, you point the finger everywhere else to save face. Instead of being constructive and solving issues.
This makes me laugh "your own shitty border security and your own drug friendly culture" China(which includes Hong Kong has a big meth problem) so whose country doesn't have drug problems LOL As for "shitty" border security, that includes China.
This is the agreement signed on to by China, so I guess you can't point the finger everywhere else China has "shitty" border controls also
======================================= www.chemsafetypro.com/Topics/China/Drug_Precursor_Chemicals.html
China has ratified the UN Convention on Drug Precursors. Precursor chemicals are subject to strict license requirements on production, sales, purchase and transportation in China. In addition to that, China implements a pre-import and pre-export notification system for dual-use precursor chemicals.
In China, precursor chemicals are mainly controlled by the following administrative regulations and department rules:
Narcotics Control Law of the People's Republic of China (2007);
Regulation on the Administration of Precursor Chemicals (2005) - State Council Decree 445;
Provisions on the Administration of the Import and Export of Precursor Chemicals (2006) ? Order 7 of the Ministry of Commerce ;
Provisions on the Administration of International Check upon the Import and Export of Precursor Chemicals (2006) ? Order 8 of the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Public Security;
Measures for the Licensing for Production and Operation of Non-pharmaceutical Precursor Chemicals (2006) ? Order 5 of the State Administration of Work Safety (SAWS);
======================================
This is another news story showing, how police in other countries try to work with the Chinese police to help control this, but like you they want to point their finger everywhere else to save face(bury their head in the sand)
Quote from a news story
"But in my investigation, I discovered that foreign police forces are also routinely shut out. Law enforcement officials from several countries described their interactions with Chinese counterparts as maddeningly frustrating and sometimes outright insulting. Despite sharing with Chinese authorities their investigative methods, technology and extensive intelligence on drug traffickers, they often receive little in return but pressure to remain silent about China’s intransigence.
“The Chinese hide behind their bureaucracy,” said a Western law enforcement official, who was not authorized to speak publicly. “All they want to do is save face.”

You really want to talk about guns now LOL REALLY LOL You can't even handle talking about drugs I doubt you want the truth about guns, I mean we can even talk about Chinese parts showing up in North Korean missiles. I think you might want to quit instead of making this worse.
Please be careful, photographer Lu Guang recently disappeared while be there on an invitation.
Predrag Jandric I'm not sure if it matters that he was actually talking bad about China like the story of the girl that was singing the national anthem of China and was put in jail because they didn't like the way she was singing it. I just thought I'd mention of word of caution cuz I hate to see anything happen to them
Predrag Jandric I'm not sure if it matters that he was actually talking bad about China. Just that he said he could they may perceive that as a threat. Like the story of the girl that was singing the national anthem of China and was put in jail because they didn't like the way she was singing it. I just thought I'd mention of word of caution cuz I hate to see anything happen to them. Once while I was there just taking some pictures of Life at a flea market some reminders or walking by and try to take my camera from me because they were afraid I was making China look bad.
I'm so happy you said all this!
Winston used to say he did not want to be involved in politics, and I did not like that. I am happy to see that Winston is no longer afraid to talk about politics in China.
i actually thought this video was about laundry and sanitary lol
So did I
He already did a video about laundry and cleaning clothes. Basically how difficult it is to get detergent for clothes and trying to find a laundromat.
5:10 That naked chinese gang was rather Hilarious than scary..😂😂😂😂😂🤣
yamon looked pretty funky were prolly having deep fried poodle!
Drugs, prostitution, corruption... plenty of that in the USA.
Dale hasn't done much international travel. Have you had police pulled you over for for speeding ... but if you had $50 he would let you go? That level of corruption isn't in the US. Pattaya Thailand puts the US to shame in the prostitution department. Drugs, it's a world wide problem that is a health issue not criminal and it's unfortunate the US sees it as criminal.
@@tomservo5007 I've been in thrown in the police cells in Surin Thailand if that counts.
I moved here from Venezuela ten years ago. You have no idea how good it is here or how corrupt a truly corrupt government is. In my mother country you can literally kill anyone and pay the cop off. It wouldn’t even take much money. Bribery and corruption exist everywhere but not at the same levels. America is amazing
@Arclight56 If that's true , it would be his WIFE who is a medical doctor (more than enough education) needing to claim asylum. Honestly, that's fair.
@@hellofromdave yes, that counts. Unless it was the tourist police jailed that is run by expats for the sole reason you don't interact with the local police for obvious reasons .... you know , corruption.

I’m so glad that you are now in a country with no drugs, hookers, bribery, gang violence and gambling! Oh wait a minute. Lol
shocking stuff lol.

Yeah he's in Cali... The Mecca of drugs, hookers, gangs, and shit in the streets.
@@padraig5335 That would be the USA. Alabama is even worse! It's just that the hookers and meth are cheaper. California is the richest state in the U.S.
@@soulscanner66 Alabama is in no way worse than California. They have a massive homeless population, shit on the streets needles everywhere. You're either poor or well to do.
While I agree with you that ever country has these issues and problems, every country isn't trying to this level to portray a perfect image. USA, France, Germany etc acknowledges it. Any speck of truth in China is swept under the rug. Everything is perfect, Winnie the Poo takes care of us.
Yep. And *that’s* why foreigners have to air China’s dirty laundry for them. It’s ugly, and perhaps hurtful for many Chinese people, but… you know what they say, sometimes the truth hurts, but lies can hurt even more in the long run.
As for most other countries? Ehhh, their own local reporters can do it on their own. 🤷♂️
Love you Winston, your honesty is a great and honourable part of your character, keep up the brilliant vids! Please be careful when going back to China, keep safe😎😊
You two are awesome!! Love your videos and I always look forward to the valuable information in each video. Thank you very much. Best wishes
I first started watching you when i discovered your drinking videos. I've seen your channel evolve greatly, bringing me closer to China than I've ever been before.
I am a Chinese and I should say that is against my moral and my culture too.
These kinds of activities will only diminish of quality of life and social mobility are very high. Humans are animals, let's not forget that. Civilization is a thin veil.
@@zhaoxunyan4016 But where is the incentive for the police to do something about it? If the environment in China becomes right for it, he would be able to report it. But until then, there really is nothing he can do about it. By that time, it might already be too late.
@@zhaoxunyan4016 CerebralDreams(Another user in the comments), nailed it when mentioning the purpose of this video. This is what was stated: "This video sounds more like he's declaring the existence of an "insurance policy" to the Chinese government: If something happens to him or his family, then someone he knows can release the footage wholesale. Chinese officials probably wouldn't want that information going public.". This is just one of many reasons why he hasn't released the footage yet and is exactly why he is not evil. When the time comes, Winston will be ready and do whatever it takes to protect himself and his friends and family.
@@MicusII he should concern more about his own country, where he is going to lose his own country to the invader.
To be fair, every country has good and bad so it is not just China. There are many homeless in California as it is very expensive to live here. Whenever you go anywhere, do not be too idealistic because you will get disappointed. Everything that you said is not shocking to me at all since it can happen anywhere. I am actually surprised that you are shocked to know about this. I guess you were living a great life and were in fantasyland.
Joe Blow Honestly, I hate to admit it but what you said is very true. I grew up in California(in the SF Bay Area) and used to love it. But nowadays, it is really becoming a very very expensive place to live with rent and mortgages becoming so high that many cannot afford to pay it so end up on the street. San Francisco is now a hell hole with so many homeless that it is ridiculous with every little thing being very expensive. I used to love SF but now dread going there as it has become a dump. My family only have our own house because my brother bought it in 1996 when houses were not expensive but now houses are so expensive that everyone is leaving due to the ridiculously high cost of living. I truly miss the good old days that seem to be long gone... ok I am getting nostalgic again.
My home state is Washington state and my uncle and cousins from my mom and dad’s sides still live there. It is a bit boring and rains a lot but life there is a lot easier than California and much cheaper. My cousin lives in Oregon which is a pretty good state too but can get boring as well. My other cousin wants to retire in Oregon one day when he gets old.
Welcome to San Diego Winston! I have a deep love for that city since I was born and raised there for the first 30 years of my life.
I’m happy for the growth in your channel, c-milk’s, and adv China. I miss San Diego but I’m glad you guys chose there for a home base. You chose well.
As a mid 20 year old from NY, your insight to a foreign land is always entertaining and interesting!

Nice warning... Life insurance, I guess.
I’ve always been intrigued by China. Your videos show the people of China look happy and friendly! We may not agree with the government but the people are mostly good. Keep up the good work. I appreciate your insightfulness.
Don’t worry Winston. You are a modern day saint! From a fellow morality driven man, I respect you so much. Definition of a real man, not scared to stand up against all odds and retaliation. Winston, you are doing and have done your bit, don’t feel you have to fix the whole country, sometimes people just don’t want to change. Change is scary for them! You’re a hero Winston. Take into account the horrible things you’ve seen and heard and let it build you as a man, a husband, a parent, but don’t feel you need to fix it all. You’ve done your part, much more than anyone else even in China when it comes to this RUclips and spreading of information. Bless!
This guy isn't the one that's going to be in trouble, The Chinese government always goes after the enemies families and friends. he's playing with fire
Apple Apple you really hate Winston.
This video sounds more like he's declaring the existence of an "insurance policy" to the Chinese government: If something happens to him or his family, then someone he knows can release the footage wholesale. Chinese officials probably wouldn't want that information going public.
@@cerebraldreams4738 I was thinking the same thing actually... in short a "don't f with me and I wont f with you" message to them
@@cerebraldreams4738 I also had similar thoughts. The whole video, in fact, was a bit of a *headscratch* for me. We (if you've been watching a while) know that while he does rag on china / chinese culture... he tends to do it in a relatively calm / sane / methodical manner. This on the other hand looked alot like a 'If I get arrested / disappear / have a 'heart attack' - I'll release my stuff...' kind of threat. Who knows? Anyway, sounds alot like he's also got plans to get the hell out of dodge. So.. one hopes that he makes it wherever.. safely.
@Willowtree lol points out serious human rights issue - That's sooo racist
Those problems unfortunately exist not only in China. It is clever of you to point it out without pointing it out. Best of luck in San Diego.
Every single thing mentioned happens in every big city in the world, simple as that indeed
Les Whynin actually it doesn’t happen everywhere, but to shed light on it wherever it exists is to expose the people doing it. You’re an accomplice to it if you don’t expose what you know. Why would you talk about the 19 year old being forced into prostitution and then stay in the very apartment she paid for. If you had any balls at all you would have tried to find her and help her out of that situation. I’m done with your propaganda.
Jim Car I agree he ought to do something about that situation, and I never said anything to the contrary. However to state that this doesn't exist in most countries is false. I'll assume that you're American for the sake of argument. The U.S. Justice Department estimates that over 14,500-17,500 people are trafficked into the U,S. every year (Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_trafficking_in_the_United_States). What actions have you taken to prevent this?
Les Whynin ...a huge portion of the trafficking done within the US is done by foreigners and foreign cartels. if you think all places are equally evil I suggest you live in North Korea or even where I’m from, Venezuela. America is pretty good.
@@saintjohn7263 I never said all places are equally evil... just that human trafficking is a problem in almost all nations (whatever the reason).
We recently moved to China, partly inspired by Winston's videos. So he hardly made it look bad to us. Yes, recent videos have betrayed a growing frustration but this was never the norm.
And there I was, thinking this video is really going to be about laundry :D
I thought the beach looked familiar. I was thinking how the heck you find such a nice uncrowded beach in China like that.
He was in San Diego
“Like hell on Earth... like THAT”* Snaps Fingers* *Video Zooms In 😳

He was sending a message to certain people

me: go ahead tell me
serpentza: sorry i can not say them
me: why
serpentza: i have a bunch of evidence and stories but i can not show it
me: WTF MAN???!!!!!
"People hearing without listening"
Thank you for another great video, and for being respectful and cognizant about your position. To those who say that bribery, prostitution, drugs, corruption, etcetera exist everywhere, the issue isn’t that they *don’t* exist elsewhere; it is the *amount of tolerance* and lack of action to address these issues that is disturbing.

Hey Winston,
long time subscriber and first time commenting.(rarely do)
I am saying this only because I like your channel. This video can be looked as a possible threat to China. especially when you say at least for now( as though now you have something to lose and in the future you might now have...), as the Hell part as well. saying this because I have witnessed many youtubers getting personal threats from outside which resulted in deleting videos and changing slightly their topics of discussions. they became more and more radicalized as they saw that it bring more views/subscribers and saw you starting to go on this path and just thought to wary you on this video. I know you are not that kind of person but others may not.
Thank you very much and Greeting from Israel, sorry for my shitty English.
It is intended to be a warning, not a threat. Read more comments , you dont set up a deadmans switch when e erything is going fine
love the beach wear
I thought you would of found it...
illogical.
He's cosplaying as a penguin
Sad to hear this is happening in China. I hope somebody does something about all these
They won’t the CCP doesn’t want to admit China is a bad country.😖
Intervene
I remember a lot of your & C-Milk's discussion regarding whether Chinese are racists, and I can also see you understand that the position they take regarding "outsiders" is something ingrained and not likely to change because they are largely a homogeneous society despite the fact that there are minorities outside the Han Chinese. My wife is a teacher from Thailand and she went on a short trip to China with her school group. You might think that Thai tourists are treated differently from white/European-looking ones but that is emphatically NOT the case. In fact the Chinese took advantage BIG TIME of the fact that Asians can sometimes be trusting and gullible when someone in a "white lab coat" is scamming them. At the airport they were conned by a group of scammers who herded them into a room for a "free medical exam" and then pushed outrageously expensive "supplements" on them based on the medical exam "results."
Outside of the tour group, she found herself in a mall where strong-arn guards prohibited her from leaving until she BOUGHT something. The kinds of scams you find in China are endless and I can say although Thailand may have it's share of scammers, they are in no way as prevalent and brazen as they are in China. There is so much good about China to hopefully take some of the edge off the dishonesty.
Now you're leaving China, all the good stuff is coming out!
diga Melo are you serious?
@@Killderich123 are you serious?
@@dimelo3027 It's true that America and South Africa have all those things -- in fact, South Africa probably has even more of every one of those problems. But the difference is that the Chinese government likes to control their citizens' access to any information that doesn't line up with their narrative.
The video seemed almost more like a threat, imo. Like "attn: Chinese government, I have a lot of footage, so leave my wife alone" kinda thing. While everyone knows China isn't some magical land that's free of all the negative issues that plague the rest of the world, the Chinese government still wants us to believe it anyway. Since they're very concerned about their image, possibly for propaganda reasons, they would be very unhappy to see that sort of content being made.
Though as far as government spying/meddling in its citizens' lives, America has the same issue as well, as I'm sure the other superpower countries do too. I guess the American government is a bit more discreet about their information manipulation, while China uses it as a way to flaunt their power. I'm not condemning China for some of their governing style - I may not like or agree with it, but I understand why they're doing it, and I respect their right as a country to do what they want in their own boarders. I'm just pointing out why China in particular is in a unique position to be harmed more by this type of information than other countries might be.
@@dimelo3027 It won't hurt the Chinese government because everyone already knows these things go on anyway, but what can they do?
Lance P he is a typical 50 cents. I feel sorry for him.
Hello Winston, stay awesome ☝
Jenny Lieu Thanks baby
i'm already winston
This almost seems like a video saying "quit messing with me and my family. I could release stuff that makes China look really, really bad, but I do not want to. So quit messing with me, and I will not have to."
If the regime was confident about its legitimacy, it wouldn't be so hypersensitive about criticism.
@@daieast6305 In the US we imprison and reform criminals, in China they kill them and harvest their organs.
@@JohnSmith-fq3rgIn the US you imprison and and put to work petty criminals to fund the private companies that own your prisons (they are paid per inmate), often this leads to minor offenders mixing with more hardened criminals and gangs, meaning when they get out they have more criminal connections and probably a higher likelihood of committing serious crime. The China bit is about accurate though. (edited because my comment wasn't showing. No idea why)
@@timjones2329 Yeah our systems have problems, but the difference is people spend their lives in prison, not in another person's chest cavity, and executions take decades to give ample time for appeals and new evidence to surface; rape is an occasional problem in some US prisons, namely the bigger more dangerous state ones for big cities and federal prisons, whereas in communist china rape isn't a problem, it's the solution, and both men, women and children are gang raped by guards atleast once in the political prisons on their way in, and again as punishment or as desired. That's how they control their slave labor force. Their actual slave labor force. US prisons offer work and the vast majority prisoners practically beg for the opportunity out of boredom and stress, the communists don't offer it, they force it, with rape, beatings and death as punishment for defiance or inability.
I am not going to talk about it, but here is a video of me talking about it.
Lol. He's always a bit like that!
He's acting a little like if he reveals that prostitution/gangs/drugs exist in China, he might bring the country down.
@@patrickpaganini some weak minded white people might get that type of delusion of grandeur if they lived in China for too long, they mistaken Chinese people's curiosity for white people, as admiration and a form of worship.
A sense of self righteous superiority is what we are seeing here. this guy is losing it. LOL
This guy is only a coward. He's always looking for excuses for his opinions, but he likes the money from youtube too much to quit. So he just baits with hints to what he knows, his videos are more and more clickbait.
It's obvious for anyone not brain dead that China, like any other country on this Earth, has gangs, drugs, sex trafficking and all that.
And there are shitty people everywhere, that mother selling her daughter doesn't have much to do with her nationality or ethnicity.
It's only a problem if these things take place on a large scale and society accepts them, but since Winston doesn't touch on this, this video is useless for anyone but him making a few bucks.
@@obsidianstatue Maybe he'll blog for the next year on poverty, drugs, prostitution and inequality in the U.S.
I had what I called a kill switch for years. If I did not log in each day and hit a 'switch' some damaging info would be sent everywhere. I believe it kept me alive and people safe. I still have it but it's not a daily thing.
Thank you Sir
You one of the rare person who tell and shows your story about China in authentic way to me as i was living just 4,5 years in China and traveld alot too
many thing's and experiences made my self during my stay
beside your attitude seems pretty down to earth
Cheers and stay safe
Honestly with enough digging around you could make any country look bad
@。獨角戲素菜1 hmmmm ok tell me at least 1 country that couldn't be made to look bad
@。獨角戲素菜1 I apologise if you have misunderstood me I did not mean to say anything about smearing I just don't believe that there is a thing as a perfect country and with my first comment I wanted to say that I can relate with the fact there are some messed up things in countries that might make them look bad
The prostitution story is heartbreaking.
Can't believe people would say that to you. If people can't see your heart then that says alot about them. Well done for sticking to your own guidelines. 🙏
He is da REAL NIIGGA, a nigga you can trust, a niiga for life.
Just got back from my first trip to China: I'm going to keep watching your channel for perspective and news. Looking forward to 2019 and really hoping to visit China again this year. Thanks...
You inspire me to wear the full school uniform suit to school everyday because making myself looking good is important.
Me too, hey, it feels good to look good lol
Me too, hey, it feels good to look good lol
It is just amazing how every single video I watch on this channel relates perfectly to what I feel and think about China after 10 years living here...All the frustrations, repulsions and angers that I can feel sometimes, and that I have to swallow as, yes, we are guests, but also because there is more great people here than probably the total population of Europe and the US combined. And I am worried for them for the future. They need to switch from a import/export economy to a internal consumption economy, and that will hurt...especially with the latest non-sense government crackdown on absolutely anything free thinking, free speech, free access to information and overall a tendency to close off to any outside ideas and mounting of ultra-nationalism...
Well remember China is still a developing country, 40 years ago that's chaos in the whole country. I am not say the situation not need to improve, but we need time. In fact, I witnessed some things that terrified me when I gone to Canada for studying, but that won’t let me criticize Canada as a bad country. Every country have its own problem, that’s it. Any way, enjoy your life in China or anywhere else.
A developing country doesn’t have 2nd biggest economy and worldwide scams putting country’s in debt.
In the US we have a media that airs our laundry so much most people overseas think it is a terrible place. Every country has it's problems. It is awareness of the problems that make things change. It isn't your place to do it but someone should.
You don't need that suit in California
I've been studying martial arts for 35 years and I was bracing for impact when you snapped your fingers!
Wait, so.... Why bring it up? I don't get it.
Are you sending a message? Is this a treat, a warning? I'm confused. The thing I'm wondering it's watching your latest videos, are you guys going to be ok going back to China now?
I love above all the balanced honesty . Thanks guys
