Singaporean Chinese here. In the 1960s, my parents would sent money/clothings to our relatives in China. They were utterly poor and in very bad shape. I would witness in my lifetime the phenomenal rise of China. In a generation, they lifted 660 million people out of poverty. Today, they are way ahead of most countries - even those who tried to colonize them. I have nothing but great respects for the Chinese people.
I'm a Taiwanese who lived in Singapore for a while. I observed diverse views towards China among the elder people (some like China, some don't), and I also observed strong hostility towards China among the younger generations, very similar to what is happening in Taiwan. I'd say the Western media and social networks did a very good job to antagonize Singaporeans and Taiwanese against China.
The average annual income in China is still much lower compared to developed countries. While the country itself has become wealthy, most citizens, except for a select few, remain poor. Moreover, the affluent government does not redistribute wealth to its people but instead pours tax revenue into investments in Africa and military spending. As a result, social security is underdeveloped, and the average Chinese citizen leads a difficult life.
I am from the U.K. Yorkshire. Been in China since 2004, married to a Chinese wife since 2007, and have never left apart from a 10 day stay in the Philippines. Love it here and will never leave. Even when I depart this planet I will be interred here.
@fernanquiroz Hi, infact i have a friend who is from Colombia used to lived in China Zhengjiang, speak fluent mandarin and now he is back to Colombia. You should visit China some day to open your eye and experience but you have to be patience. Hope your wish come true amigo🤗👍
I love and respect the humble, altruistic, and hard-working Chinese. They toil, and earn, and save for their elders and their dependents. They will then die happy, knowing that they have done their best to fulfill their purpose in life
This is why China can develop so fast, because everyone is altruistic. When everyone is like this, no one will suffer or be taken advantage of, because when you give love, you get more love.
Lived in Shanghai from Jan 2005 till June 2021 still travel there 2/3 times a year. Loved my time there and doing business there also. Now im back in The Netherlands. I’ll always think fondly of all the great people i met and experienced i had there!

You show so many wonderful and interesting videos of people you interact and interview as to why they have decided to live a different life outside their home countries and stay in places like Singapore 🇸🇬, China 🇨🇳, Vietnam 🇻🇳, Malaysia 🇲🇾, etc. Thank you 🙏 for all your RUclips channels about people changing their lives in other cultures and adapting to new lives, just like yourself.

So politically correct, ironically, to say anti-China sentiments due to capitalism, but how come other capitalist country doesn't have this problem? To me, there's a dose of racism from mainly the Anglo-Saxon world, plus European and White people in general. Just read some history and you'll know anti-China is not a current trend and is all started during the colonial time when the West started to feel invincible and entitled.

Yes! My first few visits to China about 2 decades ago, the workers & fruit sellers / hawkers were literally wearing suits! Which was very surprising! But then China is really a country full of surprises. One needs to go there to see for himself / herself. Dun ever depend on hearsay. Seeing is believing.
I remember thinking, how amazing, even peanut sellers, squatting, wore suits or dresses, decked in fake baubles. It showed me how much respect they have for themselves. It really helped me to think differently.
@ysw8291 , Dun get me wrong. Coming from an ASEAN country, it's not normal to wear suit. Unless we are attending function or meeting. Also becoz of the hot humid weather, it's not comfortable to wear suit to work. Even in aircon office.
Climbing Huangshan over a decade ago, decked out in hiking gear, seeing people breeze by me up and down all those steps in their leather shoes or high heels.... my friends and i were completely in shock.
Hehe, that’s a misunderstanding actually. The suits they were wearing are called ‘Zhongshan suits’, those were very few if not the only kind of clothes that were widely produced by state owned factories back in Mao’s era. (The intention promoting the suits nation-wide back in the times is for having more ‘civilized’ citizens though). As a worker, you always get those kind of suits from the company, and that could be viewed as a benefit because you get free clothes. So the fact is that most workers didn’t have much clothes to choose from. Nowadays people are rich and have abundant clothes to choose from, so you will see them less often.
all chinese ancestors are from China and as chinese we are very proud of the success n accomplishment and development of China as at today and the greatest success of us as chinese regardless where we are is the teaching of 老子孔子philosophy be it morality and not forgetting values and filial piety and we are the only group on earth we have surname like 张，李，陈，黄 with history family rooted clan and also different dialect group like teochew hokkien and Cantonese and so many more and not forgetting the language and the writing of chinese 华语书写 and the meaning behind each character .🫡🫡🫡
Chinese cooking methods are more fanciful and full of varieties than Western and not forgetting the chinese soup for different seasons of the summer, winter spring, etc... 🫡🫡
Somehow somewhat as a Singaporean I feel a need to dispute on the line, but yet it’s uncannily true, on some points. Such as infrastructure wise, both governments took a serious stance to push for public infrastructures to bring about greater convenience. That’s why both countries are way ahead in terms of connectivity and modern amenities aplenty. Difference at first instance is language. A typical Singaporean can converse in 2 languages at least, whereas most Chinese only knew mandarin, despite English is being taught in schools. And those whom are able to speak English has poor comprehension and command of the language. Of course there are still people whom are comfortable in the language. Language wise, Singapore would make foreign visitors easy to navigate.
@@vennsim71 yes everything is accurate, i think Singapore is a bit more similar or even more similar to HK or maybe shanghai for being an old western hub.
@@JC.72 that one about HK I beg to differ. HK other than the CBD is dilapidated and crumbling. Public infrastructures are not well maintained. You get glitzy malls and once you stepped out it’s a different world altogether. People tend to be pretty aloof and snappy… and are poor in the grasp in English, which tends to be not very helpful to foreign visitors. Shanghai infrastructures wise would be more akin to Singapore, well-maintained and clean. Public infrastructures and amenities are plentiful. And has a good mix of modern and historical buildings, all well-maintained.
As a Scandinavian who has spent a decade working and visiting 70+ Countries I look forward to a multi-cultural multi-polar World. Ruling Class in Major Western Countries has lost it to Greed and Depravity.
As a fellow Scandinavian living in Asia for 14 years and counting, I agree. The West peaked 30-40 years ago, and it's about to implode for the reasons you mentioned above.
Before China he was in Taiwan, that’s where I met Robert in 1987. Lot of good times - I still buy from China but live in Taipei, Robert chose to move to China. I’ve stayed with Robert in GZ many nights in the early 2000’s
Having spent 30 years of his life in China/Asia, he must have adapted very well into Chinese/Asian society, to not want to go back to the West. I like his optimism.
Great interview and very valuable insight. Especially for me who is a Chinese raised in the west looking to move back to Asia. Would love to hear more similar content, especially from a businessman perspective on how to go about with things.
Yup! What the West do in the name of "National Security".... like e.g. nationwide surveillance to counter terrorism, efficient way to locate and to apprehend criminals, etc... they rephrased that to "government control, authoritarian, dictatorship, etc." when that is practiced in China to protect their citizen which resulted in very little crimes.
@ , nationalism cant work in a condition where there have alot of different ethnicians and have multiculturism like in china, but in the west in some country it might work where there have more a unipolar culture.
Completely missed the mark on why China is portrayed negatively in the west. The guy probably isn’t aware just how rabid things are in the west at the moment.
I feel he knows very well while.being in China so early and with his travels, so how can he not know. And because it's really obvious if u really looked. I just think he doesn't want to go there and it's a smart decision. He still gotta deal with both Chinese and his western roots along with his businesses. In other words, don't put him in such a difficult situation, he doesn't owe anyone to explain this. I am not in any way affiliated with him or host channel but appreciate some of his take on things while trying to keep on the positive side. If u want the 100% raw truth about the racism and the greed of being a world hegemony. There are plenty of other clips where we can get that information.
@@JC.72 You got it, he just doesn't want to go there as it will derail their light conversation. He said in the interview, he doesn't want to talk politics.
03:50 my guy was right about the heavy pollution back in the early 2000s I remembered I was traveling with my family in a high way and I found ourselves in the middle of this strange yellow mist and it was hard to breath. but now in 2024 things are much better. much much better.
We Chinese people love China and our own government. We really don’t understand why Western countries insist on forcibly imposing on us the values and political systems they believe are correct. Don’t we have the freedom to choose?
Talking about the US and China relationship, if both sides want to compete and excel, then, that's not a big problem. But if one side wants to play dirty and and unfairly, and keep writing bad, erroneous and misinformed massage about the other side then, that's a big problem.
I am from Shanxi, China, and people north of the Yellow River in China mainly eat noodles which are relatively high in carbohydrates. Therefore, it is customary to take a nap after lunch. This is an ancient method of longevity passed down through generations. I remember when I was in school, if I didn't sleep at noon and had classes in the afternoon, I would even be so sleepy that I couldn't open my eyes 👀
After watching this video, I feel that he is still a "foreigner". He may know more about Chinese society than other Westerners, but at heart he is still a "Chinese outsider"
Almost all chinese are patriots. It's true and not shameful at all. However Chinese are also practical. They don't rely on right or wrong but only focus on the value. "A good cat can catch mices, no matter it's black or white."
Hahahaha This sentence was said by Deng Xiaoping, which means don’t care about rules and regulations. As long as the method is effective, it is a good method. Don’t be complacent. That’s why China has explored a development path that is completely different from other countries.
I am Chinese. I'm from Conghua, Guangzhou. It's beautiful and the air is clear. And this gentleman is right. Conghua is developing very well now. Here are national hot spring apartments, Hong Kong Racecourse, Liuxihe Greenway, and National 5G smart Amy paddy town. Many things didn't exist 20 years ago.
A British guy who has no British accent left. Half German, a bit Canadian a bit I have no clue. I was in Beijing in 2003-. It started then. Stayed in Pudong in Shanghai. Just the new Intercontinental Hotel was there .
As a Pakistani i respect chinese people. I have seen and met alot of chinese in Pakistan and they are working in every big project in Pakistan. In 1960's pakistan used to be strong country and we helped china and now china is helping us. Pakistan helped china in becoming member of UN and veto power and now china helps pakistan against india withveto power. Both countries are time tested friends. Even though I think that pakistani poor leadership was unable to tap the full potential of this friendship but still we see china helping Pakistan in everything from defense to infrastructure. Pakistan is the biggest ally of china in the region when india is trying to block chinese trade route in indian ocean by siding with US pakistan is providing a port to china for easy access to Indian Ocean. Hopefully we will see china becoming a super power replacing US very soon.
I've been to many dinners and have been exposed to the Gumbai war. I was drinking 3 or 4 times more than everyone one else on one particular gathering. It was hilarious but they definitely underestimated my drinking experience. Being Australia, I had many heavy drinking sessions back in the day with my mates. I'm not proud of it but that was the life we grew up in. I'm not a big drinker now but still enjoy a social tipple now and again. Anyway, back to this particular dinner where at least 4 Chinese blokes kind of challenge me to this arm wresting competition of down the hatch. You could see that they were very confident and keen to see me tipple over. Having said that however, they were very friendly and I was sure that if I need a hand to walk they would all be right there by my side. We all got plasted and they started realising that they were up against a seasoned pisshead and that I didn't need to be carried back to my hotel. They had to back off and everyone ended up having a great time. We all staggered out together with big smiles on our faces. It's the most enjoyable booze battle to have been in. The Chinese girls weren't so impressed but saw the unique comradeship that developed. I don't even speak Mandarin but it wouldn't made much difference in the state we were in.
He's got the Asian fever. I get it, it's a beautiful thing. Beautiful culture. Beautiful food. Beautiful people. Beautiful weather. Night life. Safe. Secure. Of course, there's good and bad everywhere, but overall Asia is just wonderful. Very addictive.
Han civilisation was a great empire in the past that had deeped in their identity. Korea was a small empire like japan, only japan had copied the western style of brutal empire.
A wise man has learned the Chinese philosophy of life and combined it with himself to form his own understanding, accept the cycle of cause and effect, have a positive attitude towards life, understand the world pattern, and have expectations for future generations, surpassing the vast majority. man, so his success can be traced
You guys walked from front Paragon to back Paragon, then along Orchard Road to Midpoint, then to …..why don’t you sit down to a cup of coffee each. Then talk would be better. 😅
Busy Orchard Road is the wrong location for this kind of activity, perhaps Botanic Garden or Garden by the Bay provide quiet and tranquil environment (and you don't have to keep avoiding moving vehicles).
I don't mean this in a bad way, but he is still coming off as a 'white guy'. I don't mean his looks. His speaking he's still behaving like a white guy. He might change, I don't know but that's just me. I'm Chinese-Canadian here
You're right. He is always just a white businessman who only cares about business. Although he has been in China for decades, he is just happy to enjoy the efficiency and convenience of China, but he is not interested in China culture and has no intention to understand it.
I don't think he's even trying to be anything different from what he is. By the time he got to China he was pretty much a formed character with all the cultural baggage that entails. What's interesting about him is less that and more his observations and experiences.
Shanghai was one of the big city in the world before WWII. They were Paris of France, New York of USA, Shanghai of China, Tokyo of Japan, London of England.
@ Chinese hospitality = Chinese espionage. He doesn’t understand the eating and drinking culture of Chinese. I doubt if he can socialize with them well. Also Chinese out there to compete against the US? The Chinese will learn a few things from the west because they are practical people and they are fast learners but they are not out there to purposely to aggressively dominate the US. They always thought the world is big enough for all of humanity. The Chinese looks at things holistically at a macro level, they do not become nationalist just because they get together in a group. And he doesn’t understand that. Like all East Asians they are good at cooperation and work in unison but its not nationalistic. It’s the US whose trying to aggressively dominate others. He understand Chinese from a western perspective. Perhaps he’s been too hard at work all these years in China running his factory and not have paid too much attention to being Chinese. There’s a Russian guy who is also married to a Chinese and lives in China for just a few years, he runs a Chinese Car parallel import biz into Russia. You might have an interest in his videos since you are Russian. His Chinese is not that good(not this guy in your video is much better from the sounds of it) but he knows better about Chinese culture than this guy.
He doesn’t know how to make full use of Chinese hospitality for a win-win he’s treating it as an espionage. In addition, he mistaken the holistic approach of the Chinese being nationalistic. After over 30 years in China he still looks at China with western lens.
@@cloudwithwind574 All he cares is exploitation. ie How to squeeze more money out the Chinese laborers. He is a fake! Did you see how he brags he survived Shanghai while others were scammed. This means he is the scammer. And he is so proud of it. What a fake!
Great how he is abled to describe how much things have changed over the past 2 decades. He explained the business drinking culture 'back in the day' quite well. He said the biggest changes happened just after the 2008 Olympics. I lived in Beijing and tend to think the biggest changes happened just BEFORE the 2008 Olympics. Especially culturally speaking . . many interesting topics! He says he's totally OK with the future. I think it's easier to be optimistic as a foreigner in China. Not if you are living in the US though. Of course he doesn't want to move back to the west! That's a wise expat talking.
Cosmetics production involves how to purchase high-quality packaging, such as labels, plastic bottles, gift boxes, and anti-counterfeiting printing. High-quality packaging can attract consumers to buy. High-quality packaging requires expensive lithographic printing press, artwork designing studio, handmade giftbox mockup, sampe proofing, trial run, mass production schedule, shipping etc.. Foreign businessmen in China are mainly responsible for contacting all suppliers and providing customers with one-stop services, because China's supply chain is complete and efficient.
he could be a trader or middle man for cosmetic production, reponsible for supply train control, to ensure delivery date, artwork proofing, raw materials selection ( inks, paper, plastic, foil ), sample proofing, small quantity trial run, mass production run , shipping and insurrance etc...
@@tr0llpatr0l86 Luxury brands all have global sourcing offices. For example, Dior has many luxury perfumes, and some of their gift boxes are very complex and can only be made by hand, and the printing method is also complicated. In order to reduce costs, Dior will purchase these packages from Asia, and Dior will send employees or subcontract the packaging to some traders who have connections with the Chinese supply chain.
@@tr0llpatr0l86 You don't need to copy the process, most global companies already have these sourcing procedures, you can send your resume and apply for the job. Once you have experience in this field, you can start your own business, for example, running a small printing workshop, or running a gift box factory to organize workers to make handmade gift boxes.

Thank you for presenting a different perspective to the RUclips audience! I was born in 1979 in China. When I was in preschool, everyone, regardless of age, wore clothes with patches. On the first day of elementary school, some older kids told me that we, the younger grade students, were fortunate because the school now provided chairs for us. In contrast, when they were in the first grade, they had to carry their wooden stools from home to school. Therefore, in my opinion, the economic growth began in the 1980s rather than the 2000s. However, I am uncertain if this optimistic outlook still exists in China after Xi Jinping seized power.
Economic problems that could lead it to same path as Japan in 1990s - population decline, high savers, export driven. Restricted access to critical technology - eg chips that are too complex to replicate. The American empire is a continuation of the British empire.
I lived in southern China 1990 - 1992, at university there learning Mandarin. I remember visiting Shanghai when there was only one or two skyscrapers in the Pudong district. I have only fond memories of my time there
Thirty years should have taught him that the best China is over, done. Since 2015 China has been going a different way. Protect the Party before advancing the people ...enough advancing already.
China is done? Really? Then you must be still sleeping under your coconut shell. Continue sleeping there as you wish while China & the world will breeze by leaving you still in your dreamland.
I think as a business man in the toy business for the past 20 years, he has learned his hard lessons of finding the right partners, who can be trusted and can deliver promises consistently. I totally understand that many Chinese people try to prove their capabilities by being a strong drinker at dinner table while failing at work with poor performance and work ethics😅 For a foreigner like him, it's more likely to meet people like this.

So politically correct, ironically, to say anti-China sentiments due to capitalism, but how come other capitalist country doesn't have this problem?
To me, there's a dose of racism from mainly the Anglo-Saxon world, plus European and White people in general.
Just read some history and you'll know anti-China is not a current trend and is all started during the colonial time when the West started to feel invincible and entitled.
Yellow Peril you mean? Yea, the racism and xenophobia is in the roots of the Anglo Saxon world and it dates way back.
@@missplainjane3905 understand Abrahamic based religions, bassd we against them whereas in Eastern philosophies focuses in harmony and the extension of that is win-win relationships. Abrahamic religions has also been twisted as a weapon to take land, instill fear, etc 🦉
Exactly! Sinophobia existed in the West since the 19th. century and it's not going anywhere anytime soon. It may never go away.
Remember what Chairman Mao said : the west will never end the thinking of destroying China at all cost !
@beproudasian8279
A universal issue
😃😃😃 This is what I believe, because the speaker, this Brit, has been there down to earth long enough to tell what the country has become.
Yes! My first few visits to China about 2 decades ago, the workers & fruit sellers / hawkers were literally wearing suits! Which was very surprising! But then China is really a country full of surprises. One needs to go there to see for himself / herself. Dun ever depend on hearsay. Seeing is believing.
I remember thinking, how amazing, even peanut sellers, squatting, wore suits or dresses, decked in fake baubles. It showed me how much respect they have for themselves. It really helped me to think differently.
@ysw8291 ,
Dun get me wrong. Coming from an ASEAN country, it's not normal to wear suit. Unless we are attending function or meeting. Also becoz of the hot humid weather, it's not comfortable to wear suit to work. Even in aircon office.
Climbing Huangshan over a decade ago, decked out in hiking gear, seeing people breeze by me up and down all those steps in their leather shoes or high heels.... my friends and i were completely in shock.
不知道你二十年去的哪个城市，这样的情况其实非常罕见的。但20年过去了，现在中国已经今非昔比，来了会让你更为惊讶
Hehe, that’s a misunderstanding actually. The suits they were wearing are called ‘Zhongshan suits’, those were very few if not the only kind of clothes that were widely produced by state owned factories back in Mao’s era. (The intention promoting the suits nation-wide back in the times is for having more ‘civilized’ citizens though). As a worker, you always get those kind of suits from the company, and that could be viewed as a benefit because you get free clothes. So the fact is that most workers didn’t have much clothes to choose from. Nowadays people are rich and have abundant clothes to choose from, so you will see them less often.
all chinese ancestors are from China and as chinese we are very proud of the success n accomplishment and development of China as at today and the greatest success of us as chinese regardless where we are is the teaching of 老子孔子philosophy be it morality and not forgetting values and filial piety and we are the only group on earth we have surname like 张，李，陈，黄 with history family rooted clan and also different dialect group like teochew hokkien and Cantonese and so many more and not forgetting the language and the writing of chinese 华语书写 and the meaning behind each character .🫡🫡🫡
Chinese cooking methods are more fanciful and full of varieties than Western and not forgetting the chinese soup for different seasons of the summer, winter spring, etc... 🫡🫡
Very honest and fair chat.
Top interview. Love the vibe of this guy and his insight into China and Asia. .
Singapore is a little China
China is a big Singapore
Although these two countries hv different political system, but they hv many similarities
Lee Kwan Yew is Han Chinese himself
1 of the four dragons
Somehow somewhat as a Singaporean I feel a need to dispute on the line, but yet it’s uncannily true, on some points. Such as infrastructure wise, both governments took a serious stance to push for public infrastructures to bring about greater convenience. That’s why both countries are way ahead in terms of connectivity and modern amenities aplenty.
Difference at first instance is language. A typical Singaporean can converse in 2 languages at least, whereas most Chinese only knew mandarin, despite English is being taught in schools. And those whom are able to speak English has poor comprehension and command of the language. Of course there are still people whom are comfortable in the language. Language wise, Singapore would make foreign visitors easy to navigate.
@@vennsim71 yes everything is accurate, i think Singapore is a bit more similar or even more similar to HK or maybe shanghai for being an old western hub.
@@JC.72 that one about HK I beg to differ. HK other than the CBD is dilapidated and crumbling. Public infrastructures are not well maintained. You get glitzy malls and once you stepped out it’s a different world altogether. People tend to be pretty aloof and snappy… and are poor in the grasp in English, which tends to be not very helpful to foreign visitors.
Shanghai infrastructures wise would be more akin to Singapore, well-maintained and clean. Public infrastructures and amenities are plentiful. And has a good mix of modern and historical buildings, all well-maintained.
As a Scandinavian who has spent a decade working and visiting 70+ Countries I look forward to a multi-cultural multi-polar World.
Ruling Class in Major Western Countries has lost it to Greed and Depravity.
As a fellow Scandinavian living in Asia for 14 years and counting, I agree. The West peaked 30-40 years ago, and it's about to implode for the reasons you mentioned above.
Before China he was in Taiwan, that’s where I met Robert in 1987.

Love this video, very inspiring.
Having spent 30 years of his life in China/Asia, he must have adapted very well into Chinese/Asian society, to not want to go back to the West. I like his optimism.
Great interview and very valuable insight. Especially for me who is a Chinese raised in the west looking to move back to Asia. Would love to hear more similar content, especially from a businessman perspective on how to go about with things.

@-xplorenz7002 yes, I anticipated that and felt Macau is a more suitable place for me to set my ground
There is so much to explore, I really love the food, culture, and people of China.
Chinese patriotic is a natiolism for western, but natiolism in the west is patriotic for western.
Yup! What the West do in the name of "National Security".... like e.g. nationwide surveillance to counter terrorism, efficient way to locate and to apprehend criminals, etc... they rephrased that to "government control, authoritarian, dictatorship, etc." when that is practiced in China to protect their citizen which resulted in very little crimes.
因为我们整个国家只有一个 中华民族 所以西方人会认为 中国人的 民族主义 = 爱国主义 ，逻辑上这也没问题。
true

Completely missed the mark on why China is portrayed negatively in the west. The guy probably isn’t aware just how rabid things are in the west at the moment.
He also doesn’t understand Chinese culture well.
@@MRT-co1sd And you do? he spent 30 years living there, I'd believe him before you.
I feel he knows very well while.being in China so early and with his travels, so how can he not know. And because it's really obvious if u really looked. I just think he doesn't want to go there and it's a smart decision. He still gotta deal with both Chinese and his western roots along with his businesses. In other words, don't put him in such a difficult situation, he doesn't owe anyone to explain this. I am not in any way affiliated with him or host channel but appreciate some of his take on things while trying to keep on the positive side. If u want the 100% raw truth about the racism and the greed of being a world hegemony. There are plenty of other clips where we can get that information.

We Chinese people love China and our own government. We really don’t understand why Western countries insist on forcibly imposing on us the values and political systems they believe are correct. Don’t we have the freedom to choose?
The west believes only their view is ever correct. No other view is considered, particularly if it's a view held by non western countries.
Because they want to remain dominant. To remain dominant you have to oppress other countries from taking over. The west uses oppression to stay ahead.
Because they want an all sum gain and not sharing fairly with others.

After watching this video, I feel that he is still a "foreigner". He may know more about Chinese society than other Westerners, but at heart he is still a "Chinese outsider"
You don't have to be Chinese to live the China experience... anyone can go through their own journey.
Almost all chinese are patriots. It's true and not shameful at all. However Chinese are also practical. They don't rely on right or wrong but only focus on the value. "A good cat can catch mices, no matter it's black or white."
Hahahaha This sentence was said by Deng Xiaoping, which means don’t care about rules and regulations. As long as the method is effective, it is a good method. Don’t be complacent. That’s why China has explored a development path that is completely different from other countries.
I am Chinese. I'm from Conghua, Guangzhou. It's beautiful and the air is clear. And this gentleman is right. Conghua is developing very well now. Here are national hot spring apartments, Hong Kong Racecourse, Liuxihe Greenway, and National 5G smart Amy paddy town. Many things didn't exist 20 years ago.
A British guy who has no British accent left. Half German, a bit Canadian a bit I have no clue. I was in Beijing in 2003-. It started then. Stayed in Pudong in Shanghai. Just the new Intercontinental Hotel was there .
As a Pakistani i respect chinese people. I have seen and met alot of chinese in Pakistan and they are working in every big project in Pakistan.
In 1960's pakistan used to be strong country and we helped china and now china is helping us. Pakistan helped china in becoming member of UN and veto power and now china helps pakistan against india withveto power. Both countries are time tested friends.
Even though I think that pakistani poor leadership was unable to tap the full potential of this friendship but still we see china helping Pakistan in everything from defense to infrastructure.
Pakistan is the biggest ally of china in the region when india is trying to block chinese trade route in indian ocean by siding with US pakistan is providing a port to china for easy access to Indian Ocean. Hopefully we will see china becoming a super power replacing US very soon.
Long lives the great friendship of Pakistan and China.
Please tell me, what is the biggest reason that interferes with Pakistan’s development, is it regional forces or ethnic conflicts?

There were honest and neutral British opinions under guidence and skill of the interviewer. It was a good interview.
I've been to many dinners and have been exposed to the Gumbai war. I was drinking 3 or 4 times more than everyone one else on one particular gathering. It was hilarious but they definitely underestimated my drinking experience. Being Australia, I had many heavy drinking sessions back in the day with my mates. I'm not proud of it but that was the life we grew up in. I'm not a big drinker now but still enjoy a social tipple now and again. Anyway, back to this particular dinner where at least 4 Chinese blokes kind of challenge me to this arm wresting competition of down the hatch. You could see that they were very confident and keen to see me tipple over. Having said that however, they were very friendly and I was sure that if I need a hand to walk they would all be right there by my side. We all got plasted and they started realising that they were up against a seasoned pisshead and that I didn't need to be carried back to my hotel. They had to back off and everyone ended up having a great time. We all staggered out together with big smiles on our faces. It's the most enjoyable booze battle to have been in. The Chinese girls weren't so impressed but saw the unique comradeship that developed. I don't even speak Mandarin but it wouldn't made much difference in the state we were in.

I don't mean this in a bad way, but he is still coming off as a 'white guy'. I don't mean his looks. His speaking he's still behaving like a white guy. He might change, I don't know but that's just me. I'm Chinese-Canadian here
You're right. He is always just a white businessman who only cares about business. Although he has been in China for decades, he is just happy to enjoy the efficiency and convenience of China, but he is not interested in China culture and has no intention to understand it.
indeed. he found something and realized something but not much.
He still carries that white man's preconceived notions and sense of superiority XD
I don't think he's even trying to be anything different from what he is. By the time he got to China he was pretty much a formed character with all the cultural baggage that entails. What's interesting about him is less that and more his observations and experiences.

@ Chinese hospitality = Chinese espionage. He doesn’t understand the eating and drinking culture of Chinese. I doubt if he can socialize with them well. Also Chinese out there to compete against the US? The Chinese will learn a few things from the west because they are practical people and they are fast learners but they are not out there to purposely to aggressively dominate the US. They always thought the world is big enough for all of humanity. The Chinese looks at things holistically at a macro level, they do not become nationalist just because they get together in a group. And he doesn’t understand that. Like all East Asians they are good at cooperation and work in unison but its not nationalistic. It’s the US whose trying to aggressively dominate others. He understand Chinese from a western perspective. Perhaps he’s been too hard at work all these years in China running his factory and not have paid too much attention to being Chinese. There’s a Russian guy who is also married to a Chinese and lives in China for just a few years, he runs a Chinese Car parallel import biz into Russia. You might have an interest in his videos since you are Russian. His Chinese is not that good(not this guy in your video is much better from the sounds of it) but he knows better about Chinese culture than this guy.
The way he handles human relationship in China.
My reply comment got deleted
He doesn’t know how to make full use of Chinese hospitality for a win-win he’s treating it as an espionage. In addition, he mistaken the holistic approach of the Chinese being nationalistic. After over 30 years in China he still looks at China with western lens.

Great how he is abled to describe how much things have changed over the past 2 decades. He explained the business drinking culture 'back in the day' quite well. He said the biggest changes happened just after the 2008 Olympics. I lived in Beijing and tend to think the biggest changes happened just BEFORE the 2008 Olympics. Especially culturally speaking . . many interesting topics! He says he's totally OK with the future. I think it's easier to be optimistic as a foreigner in China. Not if you are living in the US though. Of course he doesn't want to move back to the west! That's a wise expat talking.
and how someone just can run a cosmetic production without any network of people who help u with that????
Cosmetics production involves how to purchase high-quality packaging, such as labels, plastic bottles, gift boxes, and anti-counterfeiting printing. High-quality packaging can attract consumers to buy. High-quality packaging requires expensive lithographic printing press, artwork designing studio, handmade giftbox mockup, sampe proofing, trial run, mass production schedule, shipping etc.. Foreign businessmen in China are mainly responsible for contacting all suppliers and providing customers with one-stop services, because China's supply chain is complete and efficient.
he could be a trader or middle man for cosmetic production, reponsible for supply train control, to ensure delivery date, artwork proofing, raw materials selection ( inks, paper, plastic, foil ), sample proofing, small quantity trial run, mass production run , shipping and insurrance etc...

@@tr0llpatr0l86 You don't need to copy the process, most global companies already have these sourcing procedures, you can send your resume and apply for the job.

Thank you for presenting a different perspective to the RUclips audience! I was born in 1979 in China. When I was in preschool, everyone, regardless of age, wore clothes with patches. On the first day of elementary school, some older kids told me that we, the younger grade students, were fortunate because the school now provided chairs for us. In contrast, when they were in the first grade, they had to carry their wooden stools from home to school. Therefore, in my opinion, the economic growth began in the 1980s rather than the 2000s. However, I am uncertain if this optimistic outlook still exists in China after Xi Jinping seized power.
