  • Guangzhou City is one of the largest cities in China. It's a city full of energy and life! Everywhere you look you can see the hustle and bustle of daily life in the southern megacity!
    There is one part of Guangzhou that is especially unique however - and I went there to explore! Who would have known that I'd find an AFRICAN VILLAGE right in the heart of Guangzhou City?!

    I am Taiwanese, currently on winter break in Shenyang, Dongbei, btw. Speaking of the Xiaobei area in Guangzhou, there is also an area with the same name in Shenyang, where people fix phones and laptops. It's located just a few kilometers from the railway station, and, well, people in that area do sell fake iPhone replicas. You know, I felt shocked when I first got there, and I was wondering why China has so many fake stuff. How about the Xiaobei area in Guangzhou? Does the same thing happen there?😅😅

      There's a thing called self-produced brands that has not reach the fame of any other brands. Even in Taiwan they sell fake stuffs and scam customers occasionally. Every country has this issue, but there is a reason on why China is creating local brands, many countries used to have control over China in terms of trade, when the country sees China's growth and increasing prosperity, they tend to stop trade for not only one, but the entire category in hopes to make China fall back down to ground zero or even suffer bankruptcy. But the Chinese are smart, they don't give up, they see this as motivation to oush forward, hence why they no longer rely on the US in terms of microchips. They can buy a port in the brink of bankruptcy and a high chance of cauwing the chinese to lose millions of dollars. But they managed to save the port in just 2 years, the Greek port that has been saved by china. Now Greece and China have incredibly close relations. 1/3 of China's productions are from US companies, 1/3 of the production are from Europe, 1/3 is locally produced. The things you talk about "Made in China" is actually made there and paid by mega companies from the west, it is the west trying to scam the people. In China, all products are incredibly durable as the best quality are saved for themselves. What I'm trying to point out is that many countries produce just as many fake stuff than China. And you can't blame the country and the people for working in western factories that stationed in China, not only fooling the people internationally, but also cause pollution in Chinese territory.
      Speaking of Taiwan, I went for a vacation there last year, I went to an outlet mall and wonder why are there barely any English speakers, I try to ask the information counter on where the Theme park is, which I already know where it is. I spoke in English, yet none understand me, so they called more and more employees to help, until they reached 9, discussing on what I'm talking about. Some of them even said that I looked like Han Chinese, why can't I speak Chinese, maybe an Asian born from a different nation like the west? Until I use hand gestures to show what I'm looking for, then they understood. I laughed real hard and told them that I can understand what they are saying all this time, I'm just having fun. I am a Malaysian Baba, I can speak Mandarin, Malay and English language, I can also speak Cantonese, Baba Malay and Penang Hokkien dialect. I can also speak Min Nan dialect which is the most commonly spoken dialect in Taiwan.
      During my entire trip, not a single soul spoke English.

      In fact, Taiwan is known as the island of fraud, and Asian scams all originated in Taiwan, and the Taiwanese government also provides protection for this. After the fraudsters caught in Chinese mainland were repatriated to Taiwan, local officials personally went to receive them, entertained them for dinner, and then acquitted them.

      No, actually since the Portuguese left Macao in 1978 and the imperialistic, colonizing British were kicked out of Hong Kong and southern China in 1997, the crime right has gone down exponentially. And since China never really developed social relations with racist America scum, Guangzhou has been quite harmonious, as exemplified by this video.
