    My name is Miriam Follin. I’m a Swedish woman who has been living in-between Sweden and China since 2015. In 2017 I married my husband Yonghong, and we have since had two baby boys. In my videos I share life, culture and tradition (including food!) from China's countryside.
    Thank you for watching!

    Lovely video. I can't help but notice that the Swedish government might be one of the most anti-China governments in Europe, and I wonder how much that stance can be attributed to the fact that they are poorly informed about many aspects of China, or if there is a more sinister agenda at play. I hope Miriam's voice can reach a wider audience in Swedish society.

    • @NordicLight365

      China is today Sweden's largest trading partner in Asia, and roughly 600 Swedish companies are established in the country. This does not mean that we can overlook the fact that China is a society without free opinion formation, without free right to organize, with "re-education camps" for minorities and dissenters and without free elections.

    🦅 One of my great grandma is Tibetan. So I have a lot of questions. She talked about building in traditional Tibetan ways, which is unbelievably expensive. She talked about one side wall, which takes 1 day in modern buildings, took her several years. Why is she so rich? She bought land and built so many buildings on it. There does not appear to be many people coming to her hotel complex. It's like in the outlaw's land, like Alaska wilderness in the US. It's like she has tons of money to disperse. How about safety? When she is so rich in the middle of nowhere, you know, even in Europe, safety would be a concern, right? I just don't understand what she is doing. I know in Northern Sweden, there are many people like her, who live happily in isolation? I don't know too much about her life. Why is she not looking for a boyfriend? She needs a husband and a team of children according to Tibetan tradition.🦅

    • @loooongtimeago
      @loooongtimeago 3 месяца назад

      It looks like you are trying to insinuate something. The most straightforward answer to your "question'" is that because she is living in China, which is a very safe country, everyone, including Tibetans, can prosper as long as they have the right mindset and can grasp the opportunity, which she obviously did. Apparently, she is running a hospitality business, and there is a market with a size of 1.4 billion people to support it. She is just one of the tens of thousands of such small business owners in China.

      Do you think Tibetans only live in Tibet?
