Every day I'm learning more and more about how humane China and it's people are and how inhumane the western leaders have become trying so hard to muddy China and it's people, the western leaders have actually become sadistic not just disgusting. I live in Australia and the poor excuse of leadership in this country is mindnumbing and in my sixty years living here have never seen Australia in this low state of affairs and racist views by the media and government towards Russia and China.
While I am thinking about how to help Americans by teaching them working skills to make living serious virus sent to HK so one senior center quickly died 9 seniors and my mother was one of them...... belief or not all evil behavior will be back to themselves because God is watching!
It’s sad, AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND IS BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY, BLESS NATURE BY EARTH. But in 2 decades till now, AUS HAVE ALOTS SAME STUPID MISTAKE JUST LIKE IT US/UK, CANADA, GERMANY. They’re digging their own grave hole downhill, fails & falling so fast so bad by stupid laws, stupid policies, stupid choice!! AUSTRALIAN IS RACIST HATEFUL TOWARDS TO ASIAN (of course include Chinese). They’re running alots speechs & brainwashed news to teach Aussie & Youngful generation become crazy ignorant & bloody racist to Asian Australian media is successful at brainwashed their people, though bad news & bias news they’re creating hate between 2 groups/race. Though fake news & bias news, they’re brainwashed their ppl to holding STRONG BIAS MINDSET TOWARDS TO ASIAN. They’re even running campaign promotions hateful towards to Asian, call Asian students (of course include Chinese) is spies lolz 😅😅😅 Ridiculous alots AUSSIES BELIEVE & BUY THIS PROPAGANDA!! Australian is kicking, select picky to ASIAN IMMIGRANTS (include high education immigrants workers) they can take & welcome anyone but NON ASIAN!! Asian facing the most racist hateful & violent attacks crimes in AUSTRALIA. No one dare to talk talk this. No Australian reports dare to talk about this. Australia gorvement & media always deny, deny, deny there is no racist hateful & violent attacks to Asian. But the true fact still here & it happen long time ago not just now but it getting so bad & worse each years. ANYONE HAVE EYES NOT BLIND & BRAINS NOT STUPID CAN SEE THIS FACTS!! Australian & WESTERN racist hateful towards to ASIAN PPL - smart, hardworking, peaceful, friendly & beautiful people!! ASIAN IMMIGRANTS IS BLENDING WELL WITH LOCALS & OTHERS CULTURES!! ASIAN IMMIGRANTS IS LESS TROUBLEMAKER IF COMPARE TO ANY OTHER IMMIGRANT GROUPS!! Asian immigrants bring lively, colorful, good cultures into their community!! BUT THEYRE STILL FACING THE MOST RACIST HATEFUL!! This is sad & bullshit. It’s make me sad & angry 😡
Its so sad that a prominent Indian would try to put others down and not work to rise his country up. Why so much hatred for the Chinese that haven't done you harm?
Jealousy is the root of evil. He knows his country india is in the shits with poor infrastructure, homelessness, beggers and a government that only cares about his pockets being filled. Hence why he needs to "try" to put China down to make himself feel better about living in india
That's very common. When a liar is caught lying, he would tell MORE lies to cover up his previous ones. How much credibility does that retired Indian general have now? Zero. Zilch. Nothing.
Here is a real story. My neighbours mom is over 90. She needs a full time nurse. Her full time nurse is around fifty. This full time nurse was once kidnapped and sold to a farmer in a remote area of China. By the time she was discovered and rescued she was over forty, facing the possibility of becoming homeless and jobless back in her home town. The local county government then took her under their care. She was first provided a free one bed room apartment. She probably got some training too to become a full time nurse for seniors. My neighbour’s mom pay her 5000 RMB per month out of her 9000 per month pension. The two became inseparable like sisters and spent more time in her one bed room apartment due to its closeness to the town centre.
True! I believe it! In 2018, I was invited to visit a city in Southwest of China - a new developed for world data base center (like Apple and Microsoft). But as the media / gov’s warnings, there‘s life threatening for tourists in China. I’ve already bought my ticket but was terrified to go Then I read an article written by a local senator after she had visited her daughter who was study in the Southwest city, and invited her Mom to visit many times, but she was afraid to visit - She has impressively wrote how she had saw the Chinese civilization, life safety, high-tech, good transportation construction, friendly and happy peoples… etc. She said It’s another real world we haven’t ever knew! … It encourages me and I finally got bravely started my trip! I witnessed the reality, There was no life threatening, no gun-shoot, no robbery, no hungry people, no homeless… the gov helped poor people, building houses, roads and Wifi to their country side homes for free… Then I continued visited many cities in China. I was safe and back! But no body belived me and they were suprissed how I wasn’t killed in China what they saw on medias… Wow! What a fake propaganda! what a powerful brain washer!
A fantastic report. I have worked and live in China and never knew of this legislated humanitarian effort to care for the less fortunate. If I am to be poor, I should only be poor in China. Kudos to a government which cares for every facet of its society, even for the so termed "invalids".
I’ve seen more homeless people in Sydney in 2 minutes than I’ve seen in China over 12 months. My friend’s apartment has homeless people using cardboard boxes to shelter from the weather. Many of them are mentally ill with substance misuse issues. Sad how such a rich country, often very proud of their welfare system, fails so many people.
Meanwhile Albonese today announced he'll send another 30 bushmaster armoured vehicles to Ukraine at a cost of millions while these people in Australia live like China was half a century ago.
And China has 1.4 billion people, what is the population in Australia? If combined the so called 5 eye nations what is the total population, 500, 600 million people? They each have much less population than China but they have way more homeless and drug addicted population than China however most of their government ARE ONLY “concerned” about China and Chinese residents, and ignoring their own citizens. Are they using their tax dollars to work for China only? 😂😂
The West via the United States is a Rotted Corrupt failed state! Public servants are making millions in bribes while Corp Rot is plundering every space on earth! Anyone refusing to be raped like Russia is attacked! Meanwhile you can't find a bridge in LA without a city of tents under it!
@@Bazilhatz3773 housing shortage is getting more severe in Australia and the Government and other political parties are so slow to act. Apart from that, Aus people are under mortgage stress, food and utility costs are fast escalating, health systems forever lack funding, public education system is understaffed, the list goes on and on and yet our government will rather spend tax-payers money on submarines!
China has more homeless than all western nations combined. US around 500k. China 1.77 million. If I don’t see them they don’t exist , is the RUclips geek attitude. Pathetic. Just do some research.
Amazing that a middle income country with 1.4 billion people houses almost everyone. Yet in rich Canada our cities are teaming with homeless people. Shame on our government.
I think it is because the government are the driving force to provide the welfare of its people. Socialist Democracy with Chinese Characteristics indeed work well in china's society. There is no such thing as superior form of government..but there is what we call a better form of government. And I think Chinese form of government is better than democratic form of government propagated and preached by western countries.
They built so many homes in the real estate boom that they can't even fill them. Building basic housing was never a problem. Of course, if the desire is to build large single family housing on its own plot of land in the suburbs, then it would be too expensive. There is no desire to build the type of housing that the homeless could actually afford in the US and I suppose Canada. And there is no infrastructure that allows them to move on their own at low cost. Once you become homeless and lose your assets, you are kind of screwed completely.
Homeless people in China are hidden from the public; they can be bussed up to 1000 miles away to the countryside or may be put into rehabilitation centres. There aren't fewer homeless people in China compared to Canada, and the only difference is a government that actively hides them from being seen.
Disgusting to the very core! With respect, I challenge Cmdr. Sandeep to turn his eyes the other ways where millions of Indian people need decent housing, latrines, and safe and affordable mean of transport--no need to risk their dear life hanging and dangling on train roof.
@@willengel2458the difference is, that Chinese traitors only make people outside China become smug, this Indian officer makes people inside India complacent. People cannot progress if they are complacent.
On top of it, Andy as usual. People who throw stones in glass houses...especially .retired Indian military officers... let them who is without sin cast the first stone...but it appears to me that he clearly has other personal issues. Why would you say something like this when the pictures I see time and again of Mombai, Kolcatta. and the other 400 million Indians who live in abject poverty in slums on the streets in India starving while he is sits in a comfortable home served tea by Chai wallahs, and all the time complaining about others. Very clearly that he is embarrassed by his nation's appalling conditions, even though he buys into the illusion that India is a super power the equal of China ...not! Grand illusions. A country that needs a lot of what China has to offer to assist India to be pulled out of the poverty cycle. How ungrateful he is.
There are many multi millionaires in India . But they are corrupt . They are above their government . That never works . They should be the first to respect the social laws of their own country .
Canada, the US and the UK are swimming in homeless people and the numbers just keep rising. I'm sure India has enough homeless and underhoused people to constitute another entire country. It seems China is the only major country on earth that views a place to live as important to all people and is more important for use value than as an investment opportunity.
Oh shut up with this shite chat. China has 1.77 million homeless . More than all western nations combined. And I’m pretty sure that Chinese stat is absolute nonsense. Rural homelessness is huge. Awful social infrastructure creates many problems , especially mental health issues.
I'm rather having a kind of responsible ccp gov by taking the country forward and taking care of it own people than having the so called "my vote" which I may only have clowns to choose! They are only good in slogans and might even don't have any clue about what is politics!
The reason they can manufacture lies freely because they are living in a country which does all evil things without paying any cost due to their hegemony, and in this country people have all the FREEDOM to badmouth, to lie, to demonize, and provide mis and disinformation.
There wasn't always mass homelessness in the US either. Modern mass homelessness was triggered in the 1980s when Reagan slashed housing assistance by 75-80%, part of his overall drive to remove money from social services and put it in the military, prisons, and police. This act immediately resulted in hundreds of thousands of Americans losing their homes and having to live on the streets, a situation that still persists in the US after over forty years. Before the 1980s, the only time the US experienced mass homelessness was for approximately ten years during the Great Depression of the 1930s, a situation solved by the serious social programs of Roosevelt's New Deal. By contrast, in today's US, there have been almost no moves to provide people with housing by restoring the social services Reagan cut, and the US public has become hostile toward the poor and homeless, frequently abusing and physically attacking them, assisted by police who steal their belongings, fine them, arrest them, and assault them.
@@antediluvianatheist5262 Capitalism has already fullfilled its role in human History, and now it is more than about time for it to be replaced by another economic and social system, which one day will also need to be replaced by another system.
Respectfully, may I ask how you are accessing youtube? I thought China had its own version of RUclips, but I dont really know the situation for people in China, I had just heard they couldn't visit "western" websites
You should have asked , why America need to have more than 800 military bases around the world and spending a military budget of around 800 billions USD , while there are many people living in poverty and living along many streets of American cities , just like what you canxsee in Vancouver in Canada. . Perhaps you are one of those with hegemonic imperialist mentality .
Thanks for this thorough explanation. I had often wondered about this. I used to see a lot of homeless people in China but not for the past few years. The government's attitude towards homeless people deems very humane.
You saw "a lot" of homeless people in China but not for the past "few" years??? What part of China is this? I've been to China over 10 times since 2010 to many cities and towns and have never seen "a lot" even before 2013. Since 2010, I've seen maybe 100 homeless in total over that entire time which is what I see everyday in the big American cities. This is a big exaggeration don't you think?
Homelessness in Taipei has been steadily increasing over the years. If you go to Taipei Main Station, a major rail and bus transportation hub, you can see large numbers of homeless people there. I have also noticed increasing numbers of homeless people on the streets and in parks. Charities seen to be doing most of the work in looking after them.
THe westerners will never understand family value like Chinese people, reason is very simple. Most people that struggling will move back to village or back to its parents and start all over again. Chinese people values family and even relatives very high, even some of the relatives that in the west will not consider relatives any longer, in China people a close and will help you out. Its nothing to do with the government at all. When young people moving to big cities and trying it out, if he fail he will move back. If China have the same family values like in the west, China will also have lots of homeless people.
@@wenquansun6099 who said anything about 'nothing to do with government'. Of course the Chinese government plays a very big part in reducing homelessness.
@@truthprevail2445indeed, even in 2013 there are homeless and beat up beggers in beijing. my guess is president xi really took this issue seriously and things improved thereafter.
1 Home ownership rate is high in China > 90% one of the highest countries in the world. There are low income people in China but because there is no property tax they can keep living in their own house/apartment. 2. Habits of saving money, strong family bonds which can look after each other. If one loses job, families and friends will help find one. 3. For people having no children no relatives no ability to work anymore, they are given/certified the status of the “five guarantees family” (the aged, the infirm, old widows and orphans). They will be taken care of by the people's communes in five ways (food, clothing, medical care, housing and funeral expenses). When they go to hospitals , it’s a green path which means no appointment is needed.
I was told of a visitor a few decades ago to India. She said near the airport or train station there were not dozens, not hundreds, not thousands but tens of thousands of homeless people. In one location. But who am I to recite old stories. We're all homeless and we all have homes, for earth is our home
The Chinese government seems to take care of its people well. They even take care of the homeless to the best of its ability. Unlike in the West where there are many homeless people on the street. Maybe the West need to take a lesson from China. Thanks for reporting the truth.😀😀😀
@@ReportsOnChina Hi Andy! Have you seen one of the recent videos made by one of kinda famous anti China RUclipsr's? The video they made go over the topic of Chinese "homeless people", where they also indirectly reference many other videos like yours for example, that they're wrong and a "China Shill", trying to push forth a disingenuous narrative that China has a huge homeless people problem. Have you seen it? It is one made by a youtube channel going by the name of "China fact chasers" and "Serpentza". What are your thoughts about this? 🤔 Would love to hear them.
There was a story from February 2022 about a 70+ years old homeless illegal Chinese immigrant in New York City called 刘玉生 , who abandoned his wife and children in Shanghai decades ago. He was targeted by some kind of NGO-like organization named "American Shanghai Association" as a news-worthy case for assistance. They somehow convinced the Chinese Consulate to issue this old man a Chinese passport. When he was flown back to Shanghai, his family refused to accept him back into their fold. He even tried to sue his family for proceeds from home relocation payment. So this old sick man again became another homeless case. Eventually it was Shanghai Public Housing for the Homeless that took him in. He became a burden to Shanghai. The NGO- "American Shanghai Association" people pat themselves on the back, break out the champagne, but Shanghai citizens were furious. Shanghai people wish he was left on the streets of New York City. Perhaps you can find out what happened to this man since then.
When America spends trillions of dollars in wars and enriching the MIC, such funds are not used to relieve homelessness or improve the quality of life of Americans. 6:30
If there were no evil dictators in the world, we would dispatch our military and use the money on the homeless. Remember who is causing us to maintain a military -- it is the evil dictators and fascist regimes.

they have house and/or land in their hometown, but not top tier city. (migrant worker usually look for jobs in rich city over east coast) its similiar to ppl working in carifornia often sleep in their van, and travel back to nevada during weekend.
China has two well defined sets of rules. The rules and laws for the people and the rules and laws for the incorporated entities. So when the chinese government say some legislation is for the "best interest of the people" they don't mean like our western politicians that it is for the best interest of the 'moral persons' (i.e. Corporations, A.K.A. Lackeys of the Shareholders).
2:3thats india making china so pitiful and desperate so people will believe but whos talking look at india are they become rich? Is thier country more develop than china??
In the US with a population around 330m people, about 44m live in poverty. 18m of them are children and over 500k live is extreme poverty. The US has about 600k homeless people with over 2m vacant homes. This is all a result of indoctrinating people against their own interests, like being in solidarity and having social cohesion goes against about personal responsibility, individualism and inculcating the idea that life struggles is a sign of american strength. ✊🏼✊🏼 China
Excuse me. But every country sets its own poverty level. There is no international standard poverty level. In the United States, a person living at the poverty level can afford to have their own private one-bedroom apartment, their own car, all new clothes whenever they need them, plenty of food, and two weeks of paid vacation every year. That is poverty in the United States. I struggled in poverty all of my life here, lived homeless on the streets for 4 years, and it DOES make you stronger. (American STRENGTH) I still live in the poverty of the United States. I am retired now. I own my own home and car and they are both paid for and I get a monthly (poverty level) retirement check from the government. I invest the excess money that I get from the government every month in my stock-market retirement account and am getting good returns on my investments. I am very happy here. I would not live anywhere else. 😎👍🇺🇸 ✝️ (And there is NO "indoctrination" here. We know what we are doing and why.) You are downvoted for claiming that I have been "indoctrinated." 😎👎
Thanks Andy for the insight into the measures taken by the Chinese government to help homeless people and lift people out of poverty. Posting such a defamatory tweet on China only draws attention to the chasm between the super rich and abject poor in India
Good to know that the Chinese government care for their homeless. Wonder how the homeless in New Zealand are. I saw a documentary on the homeless some years ago.
Am from the Capital Wellington, it was slightly worse 4 years ago, I think it improve slightly recently.... Or maybe I'm just getting used to seeing them. I remember Wellington used to have so few homeless, there are so few homeless back then one of the more easily recognizable homeless guy was seen as a pseudo celebrity. now... There's like at least one in every street from Wellington Railway Station to CBD to the entertainment sector. It's actually ridiculous. Nowadays, homeless person is a more common sight than Chinese tourist group. (There used to be plenty of Chinese tourist between 2010~2017)
I don't think anyone in the West, particularly here in America where I live, should be projecting issues of and with homelessness in any other country when their's is packed with it and is being subsidized to continue.
My wife and I visited San Francisco in the US for academic conferences a number of times. It is a beautiful city with a lot going for it and we had a great time. But there was a dark side. The sheer number of homeless people living on the street, often openly begging was a real eye-opener for Australians. There were always people sleeping on the sidewalk right outside our 5* conference hotels - unbelievable. And if we were walking by ourselves through the streets, we sometimes felt very unsafe, as people would start following us closely, asking for money, and engaging in threatening behavior. Again, something alien to us Australians. I know Australia has a homelessness problem, but not like that!
Nothing is enough in this world, but the considerable effort, mindfulness and humanistic attributes more than make up for it. It doesn't have to be perfect.
It's not that the western government can't or don't want to help the needed. It's that many homeless population don't want to be restricted by welfare institutions, and institutions can't force them to stay. China care about collective harmony not individual liberty.
Thank you, Andy, for this informative report-episode on this “homelessness” matter. I’ve often wondered on this as various previous “reports” had raised more questions than provided answers.
I spent time in the cities of Nanning, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Shanghai, Beijing and Chengdu in 2015 and spent a lot of time on my own walking in the streets. The only homeless people I saw were a few in Beijing and they were not begging just sleeping on benches. I often wondered why this was so. Thanks for informing me of the legislation that addresses this problem. Many western democracies would do well to learn from China that good governance should be the number one priority of any modern government. Minority opinions and obstructions should be tolerated and listened to but not given more importance than the protection and welfare of the majority.
Two major sources of homeless in the US (my understanding) are 1. soldiers suffering physical disabilities and mental trauma, and 2. the rampant use of drugs. China does not start wars in other countries and have very strict laws on drugs. An important factor is also China tries to integrate the homeless back into society rather than just providing free amenities.
Well, instead of dealing with the drug problem, they instead provide the homless with clean needles, disinfectant wipes for their needle injection spot, and I think small amount of drug. It was shocking to learn. "Here's your drugs, now please leave the middle class alone" seems to be the message.
China spent 6 billions invest in poverty alleviation 2012-2020. USA spent 2 trillions in direct cost on Iraq and Afghanistan wars as of 2020. I don't live close to any major downtown, but my kids live in LA. They told me most people there are not drug addicts or criminals like most people think. Most of them lost jobs and simply can't afford the rent in LA. I do see some beggars at corner of traffic or front of grocery stores.
When I visited the U.S. for the first time from Australia to see my relatives there in the1990s, I was shocked by the number of panhandlers (beggars) in the airport in Honolulu, San Francisco and Los Angeles LAX and then again, the number of well-dressed people begging for a job and a handout to feed the family, living under an overpass along major highways. I could never have imagined a wealthy country like the United States of American having such and I was saddened as my heart reached out to them. I have been back to the U.S. many times after and the situation has not improved although panhandlkers have been driven out of many major city airports especially those where tourists and arriving visitors frequent. It is really a very disheartening thing to see happen to a nation that prides itself as being the wealthiest in the world that the marginalized cannot be humanely looked after especially those with mental problems brought on by an over-stressed society that has onstantly been pressured not only in the high demands in employment circles but also from internal racial, political and communal strife, a state of wars and rumors of wars all the time with only Hollywood movies and drugs to provide any fantasy relief. It really is disheartening.
I am a Singaporean. In the first place, my country does not have many homeless people. Secondly, our government does take care of anyone who becomes homeless. Visitors are welcome to verify that.
@MYSG-nc6wp agreed. I was surprised to see a small number of them sleeping around the Bkt Merah Bus Station in my first year of working in Sg. All of them were elderly, which didnt surprise me. All of them being of Chinese ethnicity did though. Overall, from what I observed and learned during my time in Sg is that if you did the basics required for being part of any citizenry like finish school, get a job, do your job and stay out of prison your chances of being homeless and destitute is nil. This ofcause doesnt apply if your relationship breaks down or you are unfortunate to suffer chronic illness etc. By and large, based on my experience working in different countries, the chances of you living an average middle income life is far more likely if you were from Sg as opposed to say Australia or Malaysia even where the elements of luck, parents financial means and choosing the right options when it comes to say what you pursued in tertiary education, the location you chose to live etc etc plays a big part.
@@theallseeingeye9388 Your observation is correct. Some of the people sleeping outside are with various kinds of issues, including what you mentioned. Not all can be helped or are willing to be helped. This is unlike countries where there is not much help available.
That's great! BUT Singapore does not have to explain anything because SG is not demonised at the moment like China is by western politicians and media outlets. There is so much fake news, disinformation and misinformation about China in the west that it is great when someone like Andy discloses the truth and explains in detail to debunk all the garbage. I remember how the west used to demonize Singapore in the early days about SG being authoritarian, no freedom, blah blah blah!!!??? Yet you see how well Singapore has developed? The world needs a new world multilateral global order, not a hegemonic one based only on western so called values. The west represent a very small percentage of humankind!
Thanks Andy for another insightful report. The naval officer should tweet about the lack of toilets and homeless in his own country. CPC cares far more for its people than the United Snakes, the land of the criminals and home of the homeless.
You should mention about the land reform in China happened after the communists revolution. This guaranteed everyone born in the countryside (with a country side Hu Kou) to own a plot of land to farm and a place to stay (home). That’s the reason migrant worker can be sent back to hometown where there is shelter for them. Look into this.
Trip Bitten on RUclips also did a very insightful video on the homelessness topic in China. He also mentioned culture and how Chinese government provides state job to the poor, so they earn enough to stay sheltered. Not necessarily a glamorous life, but won’t go homeless.
Wanted to add that a lot of labor/blue collar/factory type of work in China includes housing, eg construction working, factory labor. I’ve even seen hairdressers work in places provide housing.
Here most of the refugees are defacto homeless, there are just not enough shelters, it is interesting where the refugees all came from, it is very odd that most of them all came from the same places where our troops been delivering freedom for the past decades.
In Australia there are homeless people living in cars etc because there is a shortage of Government residences which are affordable. The Gov would rather spend 360 billion on nuclear submarines and be a vassal of the U$.
US is a rich and developed country and it has plenty of homeless and tent cities. China is a developing country, why homeless is an issue, especially from an indian?
homeless-assistance staion exists in china for long time,but still so many homelss ten years ago,why did homeless dispear in recent ten years so quickly? the reason is mobile payment widely to be used in china,poket -picker,baggar can not get money ,they have to find another way to earn money for living.when homelss becomes less and less,rests of homeless feel to be shameful,so they go back to home in village
China on one day "we have no homeless people. Homeless people are not a thing in china" China on another day "we are so good at treating the homeless problem, we have 3 million homeless population we are helping in our Xi Jinping shelters" China the next day "We have such a big surplus of donated organs from the same areas as our homeless shelters, we love how generous our people are" China the next day "We have no homeless here, everybody has a nice house and job"
I hope Sundeep collected his $5 from Wolfawitz, what a bellend. Andy being where you are and a fluent speaker you should try see if anyone in the local government would show you what they do to help those that need it. Being in the UK you see quite a few homeless people especially around the large transport hubs.
While I am not the biggest fan of some practices the CPC government I do ack that what they have done to progress the country is nothing short of a miracle considering the hurdles overcome (corruption,, backwardness etc), to add to your story my family built a school in the rural part of Fujian province in the 1990, the school was made up of mainly granite blocks being the locally available and cheapest material at the time. After the earthquake which many of such housing collapsed the government did a revamp around early 2008 to have the school rebuilt to modern standards (concrete/rebar) in the event of another earthquake which goes to show the consideration made by the local provincial govts to ensure enhance safety standards of the local population.
And are you not a fan ? Have you seen any government, especially those wealthy western governments, do anything better than the CCP at this scale ? And you even gave a concrete example of how the Chinese government improved things for the better.
@@ShaopengChen Lets not get carried away, in support of Andy I gave a positive example of their governance (and there are more) but there also many negatives ones I'm aware off. But the reality is there is no perfect government, all of them are constrained by the factors the country is dealt in. As a personal choice I would not opt to stay in China but a more liberal society.
@@Beowulfsg Then give some concrete examples of what they did not do well, instead of using some old formula "I'm not a fan of CCP...". Like, what kind of hurdle you've met, during the school construction? Let's take the example of education, since your family did build a school (and that's wonderful). I supported over 60 students (especially those from poor rural areas) over the last 20 years, and for many of them, I paid for their tuition for the whole high school programs. I volunteered for many education funds and helped to raise quite a bit of money. And here are some concrete examples I think the CCP did not do well: 1) Investments in education is not balanced, not enough resources invested in western parts of the countries. 2) Infrastructure is also heavy on the eastern side. 3) some industries could have been moved to western provinces instead of abroad, if the infrastructure investment was not lopsided. ... We made suggestion during the political consultation process, we wrote letters to different ministries, to mayors, to party leadership, etc. One successful campaign we had was the suggestion to run city-wide campaign of hygiene, which had been picked up the health ministry to spread to other parts of the country. It's not always successful, but the leadership does listen. Therefore, it would have been great to be specific with concrete examples. There's no perfect government, as you said, and no one has claimed that. But instead of using old stereotypical formulas (usually used by people who know nothing about the country and had not even set foot there once), it would be great to be specific about the problems. We all want to improve. I have lived in Canada and USA for many years too. Those are as liberal as you can get, in what you meant by "more liberal society". I've also written letters, made suggestions, involved in communities, volunteered, etc, you know what? the politicians, at every level, just pay lip services. We campaigned to have water sanitation facilities for the "indian reserves" for years, and finally got one "successful" implementation for only one reserve just before an election. As soon as the election is over, they stopped the funding, and the facility is left rotting. When I said they only pay lip service, I can give you dozens and dozens of examples. And don't get me rant on the stupid and cruel concept of "indian reserves", it's basically a slow-cooking genocide. But we could debate that for days.
@@ShaopengChen My issues stem more toward human rights, given the heavy top down approach lack of practical information going from the ground to higher up thus leading to situations like the extreme covid lockdown, mindless property expansion (debt) by the local province to meet targets, how the HK riots were managed, the nine dash line in the SCS, how the govt is so sensitive to any little criticism online (list goes on really). I admire governments in the nordic region (say finland, norway) but they have large resources and low population. Singapore where I am from provides a more realistic balance though this govt have their own issues too. End of day you wholeheartedly support your govt (CPC) and see room for improvements which I respect and applaud your personal endeavors to make a positive change and as I mentioned I admire where China is today considering where it was in 90s, however current today my views in entirety will not change unless maybe some actions from the CPC to peacefully work with Asean countries on the SCS issues as a start instead this passive aggressive cabbage tactics. To add I'm not a fan of the US government either but the enemy of my enemy is my friend hence all you see the likes of Philippine and Vietnam increasing their co-operation with them. I emphasize not to get carried away, bringing such matters up would open a can of worms where people would scream disinformation and what not, it's not like we are going to have a bloody debate in the comments section.

Here is a real story. My neighbours mom is over 90. She needs a full time nurse. Her full time nurse is around fifty. This full time nurse was once kidnapped and sold to a farmer in a remote area of China. By the time she was discovered and rescued she was over forty, facing the possibility of becoming homeless and jobless back in her home town. The local county government then took her under their care. She was first provided a free one bed room apartment. She probably got some training too to become a full time nurse for seniors. My neighbour’s mom pay her 5000 RMB per month out of her 9000 per month pension. The two became inseparable like sisters and spent more time in her one bed room apartment due to its closeness to the town centre.
Wow, Chinese government really changed for the better. As for people who are not mindful of of evilness. It’s a dime a million out there.
True! I believe it!
In 2018, I was invited to visit a city in Southwest of China - a new developed for world data base center (like Apple and Microsoft). But as the media / gov’s warnings, there‘s life threatening for tourists in China. I’ve already bought my ticket but was terrified to go Then I read an article written by a local senator after she had visited her daughter who was study in the Southwest city, and invited her Mom to visit many times, but she was afraid to visit - She has impressively wrote how she had saw the Chinese civilization, life safety, high-tech, good transportation construction, friendly and happy peoples… etc. She said It’s another real world we haven’t ever knew! … It encourages me and I finally got bravely started my trip! I witnessed the reality, There was no life threatening, no gun-shoot, no robbery, no hungry people, no homeless… the gov helped poor people, building houses, roads and Wifi to their country side homes for free… Then I continued visited many cities in China. I was safe and back! But no body belived me and they were suprissed how I wasn’t killed in China what they saw on medias… Wow! What a fake propaganda! what a powerful brain washer!

Amazing that a middle income country with 1.4 billion people houses almost everyone. Yet in rich Canada our cities are teaming with homeless people. Shame on our government.
Yes you right
I think it is because the government are the driving force to provide the welfare of its people.
Socialist Democracy with Chinese Characteristics indeed work well in china's society.
There is no such thing as superior form of government..but there is what we call a better form of government.
And I think Chinese form of government is better than democratic form of government propagated and preached by western countries.
They built so many homes in the real estate boom that they can't even fill them. Building basic housing was never a problem. Of course, if the desire is to build large single family housing on its own plot of land in the suburbs, then it would be too expensive. There is no desire to build the type of housing that the homeless could actually afford in the US and I suppose Canada. And there is no infrastructure that allows them to move on their own at low cost. Once you become homeless and lose your assets, you are kind of screwed completely.
Homeless people in China are hidden from the public; they can be bussed up to 1000 miles away to the countryside or may be put into rehabilitation centres. There aren't fewer homeless people in China compared to Canada, and the only difference is a government that actively hides them from being seen.
Canada is such a better country -no comparison -so is Taiwan .
Disgusting to the very core! With respect, I challenge Cmdr. Sandeep to turn his eyes the other ways where millions of Indian people need decent housing, latrines, and safe and affordable mean of transport--no need to risk their dear life hanging and dangling on train roof.

Canada, the US and the UK are swimming in homeless people and the numbers just keep rising. I'm sure India has enough homeless and underhoused people to constitute another entire country. It seems China is the only major country on earth that views a place to live as important to all people and is more important for use value than as an investment opportunity.

Indian Retired General becoming MsM mouthpiece?? For US$??? 😢😢😢
There wasn't always mass homelessness in the US either. Modern mass homelessness was triggered in the 1980s when Reagan slashed housing assistance by 75-80%, part of his overall drive to remove money from social services and put it in the military, prisons, and police. This act immediately resulted in hundreds of thousands of Americans losing their homes and having to live on the streets, a situation that still persists in the US after over forty years. Before the 1980s, the only time the US experienced mass homelessness was for approximately ten years during the Great Depression of the 1930s, a situation solved by the serious social programs of Roosevelt's New Deal. By contrast, in today's US, there have been almost no moves to provide people with housing by restoring the social services Reagan cut, and the US public has become hostile toward the poor and homeless, frequently abusing and physically attacking them, assisted by police who steal their belongings, fine them, arrest them, and assault them.
American really believe that republicans are for jobs and businesses. Homeless are neither jobs nor businesses. That’s karma.

THe westerners will never understand family value like Chinese people, reason is very simple. Most people that struggling will move back to village or back to its parents and start all over again. Chinese people values family and even relatives very high, even some of the relatives that in the west will not consider relatives any longer, in China people a close and will help you out. Its nothing to do with the government at all. When young people moving to big cities and trying it out, if he fail he will move back. If China have the same family values like in the west, China will also have lots of homeless people.

1 Home ownership rate is high in China > 90% one of the highest countries in the world. There are low income people in China but because there is no property tax they can keep living in their own house/apartment. 2. Habits of saving money, strong family bonds which can look after each other. If one loses job, families and friends will help find one. 3. For people having no children no relatives no ability to work anymore, they are given/certified the status of the “five guarantees family” (the aged, the infirm, old widows and orphans). They will be taken care of by the people's communes in five ways (food, clothing, medical care, housing and funeral expenses). When they go to hospitals , it’s a green path which means no appointment is needed.

Typical Indian or Indian media. No shame.
There was a story from February 2022 about a 70+ years old homeless illegal Chinese immigrant in New York City called 刘玉生 , who abandoned his wife and children in Shanghai decades ago. He was targeted by some kind of NGO-like organization named "American Shanghai Association" as a news-worthy case for assistance. They somehow convinced the Chinese Consulate to issue this old man a Chinese passport. When he was flown back to Shanghai, his family refused to accept him back into their fold. He even tried to sue his family for proceeds from home relocation payment. So this old sick man again became another homeless case. Eventually it was Shanghai Public Housing for the Homeless that took him in. He became a burden to Shanghai. The NGO- "American Shanghai Association" people pat themselves on the back, break out the champagne, but Shanghai citizens were furious. Shanghai people wish he was left on the streets of New York City. Perhaps you can find out what happened to this man since then.

China has two well defined sets of rules. The rules and laws for the people and the rules and laws for the incorporated entities. So when the chinese government say some legislation is for the "best interest of the people" they don't mean like our western politicians that it is for the best interest of the 'moral persons' (i.e. Corporations, A.K.A.

Only 600K homeless in US? WRONG. Most homeless in US are not recognized or reported by their government and most of them live in their cars.
Excuse me.
But every country sets its own poverty level. There is no international standard poverty level.
In the United States, a person living at the poverty level can afford to have their own private one-bedroom apartment, their own car, all new clothes whenever they need them, plenty of food, and two weeks of paid vacation every year. That is poverty in the United States.
I struggled in poverty all of my life here, lived homeless on the streets for 4 years, and it DOES make you stronger. (American STRENGTH)
I still live in the poverty of the United States. I am retired now. I own my own home and car and they are both paid for and I get a monthly (poverty level) retirement check from the government. I invest the excess money that I get from the government every month in my stock-market retirement account and am getting good returns on my investments.

There were always people sleeping on the sidewalk right outside our 5* conference hotels - unbelievable. And if we were walking by ourselves through the streets, we sometimes felt very unsafe, as people would start following us closely, asking for money, and engaging in threatening behavior. Again, something alien to us Australians. I know Australia has a homelessness problem, but not like that!
Glad you reported on this topic. 👍🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for the TRUTH ANDY!
Those "relief stations" actually detain the people who go in and bus them out of the city's and drop them off in rural China!
What an evil devil of insight geopolitics
Maybe the legislation still does not do enough, but it certainly does far far more than what the US has done for its homeless.
Nothing is enough in this world, but the considerable effort, mindfulness and humanistic attributes more than make up for it. It doesn't have to be perfect.

Thanks Andy.. insightful. ❤
It's not that the western government can't or don't want to help the needed. It's that many homeless population don't want to be restricted by welfare institutions, and institutions can't force them to stay. China care about collective harmony not individual liberty.
Thank you, Andy, for this informative report-episode on this “homelessness” matter.
I’ve often wondered on this as various previous “reports” had raised more questions than provided answers.
H-Indians?
Brag, talk, lie, envy, whine, moan, whine, dream, the superpowers of H-Indians.
I spent time in the cities of Nanning, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Shanghai, Beijing and Chengdu in 2015 and spent a lot of time on my own walking in the streets. The only homeless people I saw were a few in Beijing and they were not begging just sleeping on benches. I often wondered why this was so. Thanks for informing me of the legislation that addresses this problem. Many western democracies would do well to learn from China that good governance should be the number one priority of any modern government. Minority opinions and obstructions should be tolerated and listened to but not given more importance than the protection and welfare of the majority.
Two major sources of homeless in the US (my understanding) are 1. soldiers suffering physical disabilities and mental trauma, and 2. the rampant use of drugs. China does not start wars in other countries and have very strict laws on drugs.
An important factor is also China tries to integrate the homeless back into society rather than just providing free amenities.
Well, instead of dealing with the drug problem, they instead provide the homless with clean needles, disinfectant wipes for their needle injection spot, and I think small amount of drug.
It was shocking to learn.
"Here's your drugs, now please leave the middle class alone" seems to be the message.
@@airstyles1989 will you marry me?
China started the war in Korea.
Carrying hundreds of grams of drugs in China will result in the execution of the death penalty
With such a small population and so many problems, I don't know where Western countries get their confidence
China spent 6 billions invest in poverty alleviation 2012-2020. USA spent 2 trillions in direct cost on Iraq and Afghanistan wars as of 2020. I don't live close to any major downtown, but my kids live in LA. They told me most people there are not drug addicts or criminals like most people think. Most of them lost jobs and simply can't afford the rent in LA. I do see some beggars at corner of traffic or front of grocery stores.
When I visited the U.S. for the first time from Australia to see my relatives there in the1990s, I was shocked by the number of panhandlers (beggars) in the airport in Honolulu, San Francisco and Los Angeles LAX and then again, the number of well-dressed people begging for a job and a handout to feed the family, living under an overpass along major highways. I could never have imagined a wealthy country like the United States of American having such and I was saddened as my heart reached out to them.
I have been back to the U.S. many times after and the situation has not improved although panhandlkers have been driven out of many major city airports especially those where tourists and arriving visitors frequent. It is really a very disheartening thing to see happen to a nation that prides itself as being the wealthiest in the world that the marginalized cannot be humanely looked after especially those with mental problems brought on by an over-stressed society that has onstantly been pressured not only in the high demands in employment circles but also from internal racial, political and communal strife, a state of wars and rumors of wars all the time with only Hollywood movies and drugs to provide any fantasy relief.
It really is disheartening.
So why don't YOU go stop the terrorists next time . . . and save the United States trillions of dollars??? 🤷♂️ 🤷♀️
I am a Singaporean. In the first place, my country does not have many homeless people. Secondly, our government does take care of anyone who becomes homeless. Visitors are welcome to verify that.
Nobody cares
@@Albert_Einstein_not Yes, EINSTEIN, Haha. By the way, Billy Lee, don't be jealous. 羡慕嫉妒恨？
@MYSG-nc6wp agreed.
I was surprised to see a small number of them sleeping around the Bkt Merah Bus Station in my first year of working in Sg.
All of them were elderly, which didnt surprise me. All of them being of Chinese ethnicity did though.
Overall, from what I observed and learned during my time in Sg is that if you did the basics required for being part of any citizenry like finish school, get a job, do your job and stay out of prison your chances of being homeless and destitute is nil.
This ofcause doesnt apply if your relationship breaks down or you are unfortunate to suffer chronic illness etc.
By and large, based on my experience working in different countries, the chances of you living an average middle income life is far more likely if you were from Sg as opposed to say Australia or Malaysia even where the elements of luck, parents financial means and choosing the right options when it comes to say what you pursued in tertiary education, the location you chose to live etc etc plays a big part.
@@theallseeingeye9388 Your observation is correct. Some of the people sleeping outside are with various kinds of issues, including what you mentioned. Not all can be helped or are willing to be helped. This is unlike countries where there is not much help available.
That's great! BUT Singapore does not have to explain anything because SG is not demonised at the moment like China is by western politicians and media outlets. There is so much fake news, disinformation and misinformation about China in the west that it is great when someone like Andy discloses the truth and explains in detail to debunk all the garbage. I remember how the west used to demonize Singapore in the early days about SG being authoritarian, no freedom, blah blah blah!!!??? Yet you see how well Singapore has developed? The world needs a new world multilateral global order, not a hegemonic one based only on western so called values. The west represent a very small percentage of humankind!
Thanks Andy for another insightful report.
The naval officer should tweet about the lack of toilets and homeless in his own country.
CPC cares far more for its people than the United Snakes, the land of the criminals and home of the homeless.
Thank you for your explanations Andy! Helpful to understand this issue.
Great job reporting the real truth about China 👍👏❤️
If people have homes (e.g. I’m rural areas) that they can return to, then they are not homeless.
Great video and explanations! 谢谢
You should mention about the land reform in China happened after the communists revolution. This guaranteed everyone born in the countryside (with a country side Hu Kou) to own a plot of land to farm and a place to stay (home). That’s the reason migrant worker can be sent back to hometown where there is shelter for them. Look into this.
Trip Bitten on RUclips also did a very insightful video on the homelessness topic in China. He also mentioned culture and how Chinese government provides state job to the poor, so they earn enough to stay sheltered. Not necessarily a glamorous life, but won’t go homeless.
Wanted to add that a lot of labor/blue collar/factory type of work in China includes housing, eg construction working, factory labor. I’ve even seen hairdressers work in places provide housing.
The fascist COMMUNIST government in China owns 93% of the land. People do NOT "own" their plot.
Excellent show Andy. I've wondered about this many times..
Here most of the refugees are defacto homeless, there are just not enough shelters, it is interesting where the refugees all came from, it is very odd that most of them all came from the same places where our troops been delivering freedom for the past decades.
Andy , you are a living legend of truth, integrity , sense & sensibility. ❤❤❤❤
In Australia there are homeless people living in cars etc because there is a shortage of Government residences which are affordable. The Gov would rather spend 360 billion on nuclear submarines and be a vassal of the U$.
Thank u Andy 🙏💪👍
Chinese government shows the west how to care about homelessness in a country.
Thx Andy :)
this is the real human right in real sense...
Thanks ANDY FOR ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO CHEERS N HULAHULALUIA
US is a rich and developed country and it has plenty of homeless and tent cities. China is a developing country, why homeless is an issue, especially from an indian?
As a Filipino I know that's the first picture they are Filipinos who are stuck in Hong Kong
Andy is there another place online I can follow your videos besides youtube and fb? I'm be leaving the website more or less soon
homeless-assistance staion exists in china for long time,but still so many homelss ten years ago,why did homeless dispear in recent ten years so quickly? the reason is mobile payment widely to be used in china,poket -picker,baggar can not get money ,they have to find another way to earn money for living.when homelss becomes less and less,rests of homeless feel to be shameful,so they go back to home in village
China on one day "we have no homeless people. Homeless people are not a thing in china"
China on another day "we are so good at treating the homeless problem, we have 3 million homeless population we are helping in our Xi Jinping shelters"
China the next day "We have such a big surplus of donated organs from the same areas as our homeless shelters, we love how generous our people are"
China the next day "We have no homeless here, everybody has a nice house and job"
Family
Good News
👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏
I hope Sundeep collected his $5 from Wolfawitz, what a bellend.
Andy being where you are and a fluent speaker you should try see if anyone in the local government would show you what they do to help those that need it.
Being in the UK you see quite a few homeless people especially around the large transport hubs.
While I am not the biggest fan of some practices the CPC government I do ack that what they have done to progress the country is nothing short of a miracle considering the hurdles overcome (corruption,, backwardness etc), to add to your story my family built a school in the rural part of Fujian province in the 1990, the school was made up of mainly granite blocks being the locally available and cheapest material at the time. After the earthquake which many of such housing collapsed the government did a revamp around early 2008 to have the school rebuilt to modern standards (concrete/rebar) in the event of another earthquake which goes to show the consideration made by the local provincial govts to ensure enhance safety standards of the local population.
the communist party is far above your judgement. Worry about your own country
And are you not a fan ? Have you seen any government, especially those wealthy western governments, do anything better than the CCP at this scale ? And you even gave a concrete example of how the Chinese government improved things for the better.
@@ShaopengChen Lets not get carried away, in support of Andy I gave a positive example of their governance (and there are more) but there also many negatives ones I'm aware off. But the reality is there is no perfect government, all of them are constrained by the factors the country is dealt in.
As a personal choice I would not opt to stay in China but a more liberal society.
@@Beowulfsg Then give some concrete examples of what they did not do well, instead of using some old formula "I'm not a fan of CCP...". Like, what kind of hurdle you've met, during the school construction?
Let's take the example of education, since your family did build a school (and that's wonderful). I supported over 60 students (especially those from poor rural areas) over the last 20 years, and for many of them, I paid for their tuition for the whole high school programs. I volunteered for many education funds and helped to raise quite a bit of money.
And here are some concrete examples I think the CCP did not do well: 1) Investments in education is not balanced, not enough resources invested in western parts of the countries. 2) Infrastructure is also heavy on the eastern side. 3) some industries could have been moved to western provinces instead of abroad, if the infrastructure investment was not lopsided. ...
We made suggestion during the political consultation process, we wrote letters to different ministries, to mayors, to party leadership, etc. One successful campaign we had was the suggestion to run city-wide campaign of hygiene, which had been picked up the health ministry to spread to other parts of the country. It's not always successful, but the leadership does listen.
Therefore, it would have been great to be specific with concrete examples. There's no perfect government, as you said, and no one has claimed that. But instead of using old stereotypical formulas (usually used by people who know nothing about the country and had not even set foot there once), it would be great to be specific about the problems. We all want to improve.
I have lived in Canada and USA for many years too. Those are as liberal as you can get, in what you meant by "more liberal society". I've also written letters, made suggestions, involved in communities, volunteered, etc, you know what? the politicians, at every level, just pay lip services. We campaigned to have water sanitation facilities for the "indian reserves" for years, and finally got one "successful" implementation for only one reserve just before an election. As soon as the election is over, they stopped the funding, and the facility is left rotting. When I said they only pay lip service, I can give you dozens and dozens of examples.
And don't get me rant on the stupid and cruel concept of "indian reserves", it's basically a slow-cooking genocide. But we could debate that for days.
@@ShaopengChen My issues stem more toward human rights, given the heavy top down approach lack of practical information going from the ground to higher up thus leading to situations like the extreme covid lockdown, mindless property expansion (debt) by the local province to meet targets, how the HK riots were managed, the nine dash line in the SCS, how the govt is so sensitive to any little criticism online (list goes on really).
I admire governments in the nordic region (say finland, norway) but they have large resources and low population. Singapore where I am from provides a more realistic balance though this govt have their own issues too.
End of day you wholeheartedly support your govt (CPC) and see room for improvements which I respect and applaud your personal endeavors to make a positive change and as I mentioned I admire where China is today considering where it was in 90s, however current today my views in entirety will not change unless maybe some actions from the CPC to peacefully work with Asean countries on the SCS issues as a start instead this passive aggressive cabbage tactics. To add I'm not a fan of the US government either but the enemy of my enemy is my friend hence all you see the likes of Philippine and Vietnam increasing their co-operation with them.
I emphasize not to get carried away, bringing such matters up would open a can of worms where people would scream disinformation and what not, it's not like we are going to have a bloody debate in the comments section. Pointless really
This would be my last post on the matter as not to tar the comments section of the channel, I suggest you take in the positive and negative views coming from an open community with a lighthearted approach, this is not the platform for an in depth. All the best
thank you for exposing the truth.
