China cant afford too much hatred and negative influence.. that is what makes china today.. at the end of the day ordinary people only need peace and prosperity, that is what china government working on for the past 50 years.. one of the amazing result is : over 700 million chinese people out of poverty, many nation dont even have that much people right.. btw china still has the best government system so far in this planet.

    The whole video, I can feel the British arrogance complaining about not enough people who are fluent in English in China. I only speak English and I traveled many places where almost no one speaks English. A lot of hand gesture, a bit imagination, and some understanding of local culture will make you guess 50% what people try to say, which is enough for tourists.

But the real, vast China will definitely bring you a pleasant journey with rich natural scenery, urban culture, and especially delicious food. In terms of food, in big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, in addition to tasting local cuisine, you can also eat delicacies from other provinces. The Chinese people are generally gentle and kind, and the Chinese police will be willing to help. I wish you a happy journey~

Apple agreed, while Google, Facebook and Twitter refused. Uber lost to DiDi in the Chinese market and simply sold its China business to the other party, with both parties having cross-shareholdings. After 2008, Amazon could only barely support itself under the attack of China's local e-commerce companies. To be honest, China's e-commerce platform is really strong.

    I can never understand how "season travellers" never bother to learn some basic phrases in the country they are visiting. Or use a translation App at least.
    The world is not an Anglo world. A bit of the local language goes a long way and breaks down barriers.
    People all over the world are generally helpful
    I was stuck in Russia once and got very lost past midnight trying to find my way around the suburbs. I was told before going that Russians were rude.
    I had learnt some phrases on the plane (These was a long time ago before smart phones and when they were switching flags from Communist to Russian)
    Unfortunately for me the only phrase that stuck was "pardon me, where could I buy some Tampons"
    Which wasn't particularly useful as the bus arrived at its final terminus and the only other passenger was a drunk Babushka singing likely bawdy Russian songs.
    The bus driver asked me where I was suppose to alight (In Russian). I tried my best to mention the police stand in front of my communist anonymous (cookie cutter) looking high rise building.
    Surprisingly, he muttered something under his breath in Russian, uttered the only English word he knew "Wait" and turn his bus around.
    He took me (and Babushka) to a friend (By this stage it was way past 1am)...a young lady, pointed to her and uttered "English", she wasn't terribly happy to be roused from bed....
    His friend obliged and asked me where I was trying to go. She mentioned that it wasn't very helpful to mention a police stand as a landmark since it was Moscow and there were quite a few police stands.
    So she did the next best thing and popped me and the bus driver (Minus the Babushka who had passed out) into her tiny car, drove us down to a police station (Now it was 2AM)
    The burly policemen tried to figure out my clearly poor direction sense. They in turn put me in a squad car and drove me around the bus route to figure out which police stand I was talking about. Eventually we ended up finding the place! 3AM
    Russians aren't known for smiling but they were heart of gold trying to get me back safely. 😄
    People surprise you and never listen to the propaganda about any country in the Anglo media. Utter nonsense.

    The reason why there is less noise on the roads in China is because they are turning towards electric vehicles. There are indeed many cameras in China, but they do not affect normal people who work. China has a large population, and cameras can quickly find illegal people and deter you from stealing, and so on. China cannot use Google Maps app, but it can use the Gaode Maps app or Baidu Maps app. Chinese people are willing to help others. As long as you speak, most young people can speak a little English. There are also many Chinese delicacies, such as pancakes, fried meat skewers, Xiaolongbao, Beijing roast duck, and so on. You need to try.

    Nice to see you guys to take the chance and to see and experience China (Beijing) by yourselves, i guess i can say that most people in China are very nice and helpful and happy to see friendly forigners as any other country else. Gao De maps/(高德地图) (and Baidu maps) are the local maps people use, Gao De's data is in fact the one apple maps uses. The sim card and id card is indeed a trouble in the beginning. Also many many young(not elder ones )Chinese can say some good English esp. in big cities like Beijing and Shang Hai and Guangzhou (each capital city of the provinces), if you need to ask people for help, try to find the young guys, haha! also Baidu translator is very helpful. The vpn is a trouble as you said ,haha! People in Weibo/微博 commented that it seemed you didn't take much time to make a plan and just explore it directly and bravely, haha! The time you arrived Beijing was late night ,so there were not too many people to see and ask for help, that's a little inconvenience indeed.

Can you say the same if any British or American kids have gotten Mandarin classes in their schooling ? Looks like only the wealthy ruling class in the US and the UK force their children to learn Mandarin because they know that is the future if their kids are going to do well in business.

If the government can deliver at least those basics then the people are at least satisfied. They don’t quarrel over what can or cannot be taught in schools or gender politics which are just basically ways cooked up by certain countries to divide the electorate to get votes.

    It's quite miserable to keep switching subways on a rainy day. If you need help, you can actually ask the people around you; they would be happy to assist you and provide information. But you're just wandering around in rainy Beijing. It would have been good to learn even just one sentence of Chinese before coming, such as 'I need help, can you help me?' Even if the people around you don't speak English, they would get the police to help you. In China, the police are very willing to help ordinary people. I feel that you have suffered a lot, which was unnecessary.

    China can indeed be said to be a cashless society. I haven't touched cash for several years, but it is still effective in circulation in China today, including in the future. It is effective to buy things with cash. If people who don't accept cash are illegal, they can call 110, but the reality is that some roadside vendors may not have so much cash to exchange for larger cash, so they really don't accept it, but supermarkets, facades, shopping malls and hotels basically store cash, and there is no problem in using cash at all.

      I think cashless is east when we’re set up but after the first day the 2nd is always easier ❤️

      @@OTWD_yt Have a good time, and oh, there are many young people under the age of 30 who understand English in big cities, but they don't have a language environment to exercise, so they may speak slowly before they understand.
