Mainstream media always portray China in a negative light, but when people actually come and experience China for themselves, they realize that in reality, China is totally different and is an awesome place to live and work. I come from Europe and ended up staying in China for 12 years!
I can't speak for the locals. But I've been to China 4 times, one time for two months, and I cannot describe how much I enjoyed it. I spent time in Dongguan, Shenzhen, Guangzhou and Beijing. All amazing and very different cities. Superb public transportation, fun nightlife, HUGE parks, delicious food, safety, lots of outdoor recreation opportunities. The South felt like South America, if it wasn't corrupt and 300 years in the future. Very warm people, a lot of color, close families, and everyone outside relaxing and enjoying the parks.
Thank you for your admiration👏🤣And the west of China is amazing with its fabulous nature views. I live in Shenzhen and I would like to take a trip to the west on my vacations. Hope for your fifth trip to China someday 😉

No one is immune to propaganda. And frankly the reason Japan and China's governments are so antagonistic is because Japan's government is controlled by the US, and they treat it as a military base to contain China. China's government knows this, so their relationship can't really improve as long as Japan doesn't really have its sovereignty.
Thanks for this street interview. I agree, Chinese and Japanese young people need to learn more about each other. It’s not like Japan is going to float off into the ocean if Chinese just ignore them.
I very much enjoyed this video. Thank you. I am always interested in what non-Chinese think about living in China. I actually prefer that they are interviewed by you or anyone who is not a Chinese native so that they can all be honest about their answers.

Very nice video Kaho! My grandparents lived under Japanese occupation so there was bad memories there but my mom studied Japanese in school in Beijing in the '70s and I studied Japanese in New York in the 2000s and both have had Japanese friends. Chinese and Japanese people have no problems getting along.
Hope these two wonderful countries will be friends again, as they used to be before the Japanese Meiji era. Unfortunatelly, the Japanese are receiving the same anti-China propaganda as Westerners currently are. This is a good way of opening their eyes.
i totally agree, i hate the fact that china has such a negative impression especially on countries close by like japan. although it is great that lots of these japanese people said that their negative view changed once coming, i feel like it’s unfair that they were given this negative perspective of china in the first place
@@majimanoaniki5625 Japanese kill half a billion Chinese in ww2 and their government never acknowledge and apologize. if you want to talk about it, I can do this all day😊
It is Japan that has occupied the Ryukyu Islands (Okinawa) since the middle of the 19th century, and let 70% of the US military bases settle on these islands. It's known all over the world. Moreover, UNESCO recognizes the Ryukyuan (Okinawan) and Ainu languages as currently endangered. I am a Khmer from France, but don't forget that Japan massacred in Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, etc... participated in the famines in South Asia too. At least in Mainland China, the Government is working to safeguard the languages/dialects of Non-Indigenous peoples who have settled in China ; representing today barely hundreds or a thousand descendants.
@henntai but these Chinese civilians that were already killed by Japanese Army never got appoligized， It's not that we can't look to the present. We just can't let this matter go without receiving any apology, even without the Japanese government acknowledging the war of aggression against China，We Chinese people never have high requirements for Japan in this matter, but we have never received a response.
Somehow RUclips show me this link, fascinated by the description, I clicked it and I really enjoy watching this video! I am a Canadian Chinese from HK (lived in Canada for almost 50 years) now retired, worked for a Japanese Investment firm in Canada. It is so nice to see so many young Japanese working and enjoying China! Really great to see the energy and excitement! I wish my two children can have an opportunity to experience this life, but they are doctors, it may be complicated to work in China?!? (I wonder). Anyway great job 👍😀🫶🇨🇦👏
As another Chinese Canadian, I'm so glad you call yourself Chinese; most HKers say "I'm NOT Chinese, I'm from HK!" and are embarrassed to accept their cultural roots. Thank you.
this is great. thanks for fullfilling my request. it would be good if you making this videos for japanese viewer. alot of japanese are very wary about china.
wary as some feel guilty of their ancestors evil sins they did during WW2 and earlier before that war. The karma may come to them hard & fast once they step onto mainland China.
Throughout China, you can hire a powerbank easily from metro stations, convenience stores and other stores. They're all over. Hire them for super cheap (about ¥3 per hour) and return when done.
Yes. And you don't have to return them to the original outlet. When you are done, just turn on the app to find out the closest outlet where you can return the powerbank.
@@vivavivo5071 all powerbank stations have the charging cable outside and it's free(including all types of phones), but that cable is very short such like 5cm only, so u can charge it until ur phone comes back, then u can scan the QR code in the app to get one and no worry about ur battery any more. U just need to find a closest station in the app and give back. it will be charged by time, hope u understand how convenient when living in China😉
@@vivavivo5071 btw, u can't pay the cash coz the powerbank station has no cash verification port and it's only charged after u return the powerbank by the time how long u used it.
Video yang bagus.. saya berapa kali ke Jepang dan pernah tinggal di china. Saya melihat banyak persamaan budaya antara China dan jepang. Sebagai orang Asia saya berharap hubungan China dan Jepang semakin baik. Tugas generasi muda untuk melakukannya..
knowing all the past that japan has with china, korea and the philippines i am very happy that the eastern nations finally understand each other and respect their respective cultures, love from brazil
they don't at all. Chinese hate japanese with a passion. They won't say it directly to them. They are chicken. When covid broke out, they had signs saying "I hope the epidemic stays in Japan and US for a long time". They also hate Koreans
Living in Europe for more than the half-length of my life so far and going back in China just several times to visit relatives and for working.. Only gods know how I miss living in Asia.. That kind of people connection, the atmosphere in general, the convenience in everyday life, the good prices and never forget to mention, THE FOOD. Just by talking it's impossible to understand what's underneath these words, the true sense, especially regarding the part of people connection. I miss my country so much.. love China ♥ hope to come back soon and become one of those nice people once again.
I’m Taiwanese American and I’m kind of a weeb, so I’m always very curious what Japanese people think about things 😊 Thank you for having English subtitles
First of all____ welcome to China and this is a great street interview video, love it. China is still stay in develop progressing witch means we still need all the people of the world whom love peace to join us and of course i'd happy to see that there have Japanese be part of it.
@@joek7031 Do not talk nomsense. They do not owe you anything. Propaganda brainwashed you all sorts of way. If you do not like Japanese , do not use Japanese- Chinese either which are over 95% of your language.
Great quality content you provide here, as an East Asian (Chinese nationality), I truly hope a more united and powerful East Asia can offer more good to the world, especially compare to the West.
usa don't like. they will sabtage. about 6years ago..there was suppose to be a east asian state forum China S Korea & Japan were suppose to meet to discuss more economic cooperations. USA sabotage it. Thaad missile & Diaoyu islands issue separate China & Japan. Semicon issues & comfort women issues separate japan & S Korea. USA knows where to stir to separate all east asian states apart. If east asian states start cooperate & work together. USA is out of business & influence as S Korea & japan may take China side again instead of the gringos.
actually the west never want to see that happened, especially America. Look what happened to European union now, most of them American allies but now they're fucked up with energy crisis because of american foreign policy. America doesn't want any other nations or organization tried to replace super power status, period. Remember even american spies proudly wiretapped Germany, a trustworthy american ally and economic powerhouse of Europe couple years ago. Angela Merkel protested but got no further sanctions. Even america wished the downfall of Germany as economic powerhouse of Europe. So, take care what are the next plans of america to prevent united east asia
I hope so too but it's not going to happen with China's current leader and government. For example China's stance on Taiwan has only divided East Asia further.
I had a very good impression of what living in Shanghai is after watching your video. And also, I have a colleague who hailed from Shanghai. Keep up the good work Kaho 😊😊😊

I don't know Chinese and speak only the very basic ones but I really enjoyed visiting there for a while and especially I love Chinese food and some shopping. I find it a bit reassuring that Chinese people seem to appreciate the effort of speaking all the basic Chinese phrases that I can without being so judgy. I understand that my country and China's government are not in good terms but I guess a lot of Chinese people are not the "villains" media or governments are painting.
It's disappointing that the media in many countries always gives negative comments on China so many foreigners have a negative impression on China. As a Chinese, I am very sad about this. I hope that more people can travel here and have a look. I guess most of them would change their mind after visiting China!
Not from what we see in western media though... we see japan’s president kishida very antagonist towards China ... japan constantly spread lies and propaganda about China ....
@@lindagonzalez5513 ah yes, because China is all "peace & love" and they don't spread hate and propaganda towards Japan or other Asian countries. For sure, right?

@@_1Takiro1 you bring up old news, we should all accept that many countries made mistakes during those time periods. just because a government make mistakes does not mean the country itself is bad. I love to travel everywhere to enjoy their culture and traditions
The Japanese people are really lovely. The populations of both countries are also very friendly. Unfortunately, with the way things are going, it is likely that the two countries will have to fight a war in the future if the politicians are not careful.
There are always decent people who are openminded to respect each other’s culture and willing to learn and affluence from others. I am sure all systems (countries) has their own issues. Thumbs up for the content
3:16 it’s quite interesting that when foreigners know little Chinese, people will appraise them for the part they know, while when they know a lot, people tend to be more critic about vocabulary and pronunciation, especially on the internet
Ms. KAHO's interview made people understand Shanghai and China better, thank you very much! At the same time, it proved once again how terrible the malicious propaganda of some political media is.
I hate how ppl just create propaganda on countries like you can easily believe what you read and see. China can be the first country to be hated a lot just because of stupid media and all that shit saying without proof
@@danielb7993 No o/n/e agrees with you. China has more freedom. Most overseas Chinese only live in Southeast Asia like Thailand, Indonesia, not Japan. At least the Chinese don't harass people in other countries. People like you always go to videos about China to spread fake news about China
@@Yangpeiling-de-zhangfu what fake news am I spreading about China? China HAS less freedom than Japan. Is it fake news? Are you really that brainwashed?
I also lived in China for 2 years when my company transfered be there and honestly i liked it better compared when i was stationed in the US or london. Its much safer more efficient and convinient
As a person whos only visited China and has Chinese parents, I normally hear things from people who have negative impressions of China without ever having been to China, so I'm glad that people living there find it safe and convenient!
Are you kidding? China is of course the most secure country in the world, surveillance cameras and face recognition are everywhere, internet access must be real name, and even your chat history on WeChat can be a reason for the Public Security Bureau to punish you.
China is safe, because east asian cultures aren't obsessed with freedom and guns. Plus, the China 20-30 years ago is VERY different from the China today, so your parents may be stuck in the past. Then again, there are a lot of other hidden problems in the current culture that foreigners wouldn't see; those are the real problems that China does actually face, but the stuff you hear in the media; those are all lies and propaganda.
Somtimes wish these types of videos can be shared with everyone that have bad impressions of China and indeed other countries. It always amazes me when people say their opinions change just by going there to live. That's why i always try to never judge a country before I have experienced it and take everything I read on the news with caution.
For decades, mainstream media in Western countries and Japan have been deliberately demonizing China. You can't really expect people there to have a normal image of China, let alone a positive one.

And frankly the reason Japan and China's governments are so antagonistic is because Japan's government is controlled by the US, and they treat it as a military base to contain China. China's government knows this, so their relationship can't really improve as long as Japan doesn't really have its sovereignty.

Love hearing from REAL people. Thank you!
thank ylu for the interview! I hope you and the japanese people living in Shanghai should have more fun there.
Thanks for this street interview. I agree, Chinese and Japanese young people need to learn more about each other. It’s not like Japan is going to float off into the ocean if Chinese just ignore them.
Great interviews. Thanks for sharing them with us!
I just randomly found this channel and i absolutely love it!
I very much enjoyed this video. Thank you. I am always interested in what non-Chinese think about living in China. I actually prefer that they are interviewed by you or anyone who is not a Chinese native so that they can all be honest about their answers.
But can you be sure that they are completely honest? I think some of theme might be afraid to get deported when they say bad things about China, especially the government.
@@herman65 lmao clearly you've never been to china then. You don't get deported for saying bad things about China... you don't even get deported for saying bad things about the CCP.
@@herman65 So how do you know they're not being honest? Only fools look at anything with their own opinions and prejudices.
@@LessIsMore235 It's not my opinion or prejudice, but reality. There is no free speech in China, not for nationals and neither for foreigners. Public criticism can in fact get you deported, especially when it gets wide exposure.
@@herman65 Did you have seen any news about it? Someone got deported due to his/her public criticism.
The last guy seems chill to hang out with and I understood everything he said super clearly
The last guy (the tipsy one) had such a great energy and presence!! He was so funny!
Good to see Japanese enjoy Shanghai. Thank you, Kaho.
as a Chinese, I’m glad to see all these people from different countries are friendly and expressing likes to China. I love you guys.
nice video, forwarded to my sis who lives in Osaka and never been to China
Ahh I love your video! 🥰 I also live in Shanghai too as an expat, and it's so nice to see other expats around. I hope there's more circles that could join together and have fun as an international club 🥰
The Japanese dude in the black pea coat is so cool , polite and just goes with the flow.
I’m surprised by everyone’s reaction, so wholesome ❤
Very nice video Kaho! My grandparents lived under Japanese occupation so there was bad memories there but my mom studied Japanese in school in Beijing in the '70s and I studied Japanese in New York in the 2000s and both have had Japanese friends. Chinese and Japanese people have no problems getting along.
Hope these two wonderful countries will be friends again, as they used to be before the Japanese Meiji era. Unfortunatelly, the Japanese are receiving the same anti-China propaganda as Westerners currently are. This is a good way of opening their eyes.
Have you seen Ryo Takeuchi Japanese director in China, Hezhemeng
@@lkl1392 yes, yes, I did.
i totally agree, i hate the fact that china has such a negative impression especially on countries close by like japan. although it is great that lots of these japanese people said that their negative view changed once coming, i feel like it’s unfair that they were given this negative perspective of china in the first place

Greetings from Poland to both China and Japan. Are you Japanese or Chinese ?
I think Chinese and Japanese can learn a lot from each other. Both have their good points.
China's invading Japan's island and some japanese civilians got arrested in China without reason. How could we learn about their communism?
@@majimanoaniki5625 Japanese kill half a billion Chinese in ww2 and their government never acknowledge and apologize. if you want to talk about it, I can do this all day😊
@@Kingsman51895 so that's the reason your government arrests innocent people like japanese militaly did in the 1940's?
It is Japan that has occupied the Ryukyu Islands (Okinawa) since the middle of the 19th century, and let 70% of the US military bases settle on these islands. It's known all over the world.
Moreover, UNESCO recognizes the Ryukyuan (Okinawan) and Ainu languages as currently endangered.
I am a Khmer from France, but don't forget that Japan massacred in Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, etc... participated in the famines in South Asia too.
At least in Mainland China, the Government is working to safeguard the languages/dialects of Non-Indigenous peoples who have settled in China ; representing today barely hundreds or a thousand descendants.
@henntai but these Chinese civilians that were already killed by Japanese Army never got appoligized，
It's not that we can't look to the present. We just can't let this matter go without receiving any apology, even without the Japanese government acknowledging the war of aggression against China，We Chinese people never have high requirements for Japan in this matter, but we have never received a response.
Very nice. I couldnt see that was an apron, i thought it was part of his outfit.
This is interesting. Please do more

I am a Canadian Chinese from HK (lived in Canada for almost 50 years) now retired, worked for a Japanese Investment firm in Canada. It is so nice to see so many young Japanese working and enjoying China! Really great to see the energy and excitement! I wish my two children can have an opportunity to experience this life, but they are doctors, it may be complicated to work in China?!? (I wonder). Anyway great job 👍😀🫶🇨🇦👏
医生很好啊，在中国只要是人才，有真才实学的，哪里都是他们展示的舞台，可以鼓励你家孩子来内地发展。
There are international clinics/hospitals catering to expats which they can work at.
As another Chinese Canadian, I'm so glad you call yourself Chinese; most HKers say "I'm NOT Chinese, I'm from HK!" and are embarrassed to accept their cultural roots. Thank you.

Nice interview, Passionate young people, hope you all having a great life in China.
Throughout China, you can hire a powerbank easily from metro stations, convenience stores and other stores. They're all over. Hire them for super cheap (about ¥3 per hour) and return when done.
Yes. And you don't have to return them to the original outlet. When you are done, just turn on the app to find out the closest outlet where you can return the powerbank.
So that means you need to pay the service with cash as the phone battery is already dead?
@@vivavivo5071 all powerbank stations have the charging cable outside and it's free(including all types of phones), but that cable is very short such like 5cm only, so u can charge it until ur phone comes back, then u can scan the QR code in the app to get one and no worry about ur battery any more. U just need to find a closest station in the app and give back. it will be charged by time, hope u understand how convenient when living in China😉
@@vivavivo5071 btw, u can't pay the cash coz the powerbank station has no cash verification port and it's only charged after u return the powerbank by the time how long u used it.

BTW, you have such a warming smile❤

Living in Europe for more than the half-length of my life so far and going back in China just several times to visit relatives and for working.. Only gods know how I miss living in Asia.. That kind of people connection, the atmosphere in general, the convenience in everyday life, the good prices and never forget to mention, THE FOOD. Just by talking it's impossible to understand what's underneath these words, the true sense, especially regarding the part of people connection. I miss my country so much.. love China ♥ hope to come back soon and become one of those nice people once again.

Great quality content you provide here, as an East Asian (Chinese nationality), I truly hope a more united and powerful East Asia can offer more good to the world, especially compare to the West.
usa don't like. they will sabtage. about 6years ago..there was suppose to be a east asian state forum China S Korea & Japan were suppose to meet to discuss more economic cooperations. USA sabotage it. Thaad missile & Diaoyu islands issue separate China & Japan. Semicon issues & comfort women issues separate japan & S Korea. USA knows where to stir to separate all east asian states apart. If east asian states start cooperate & work together. USA is out of business & influence as S Korea & japan may take China side again instead of the gringos.
actually the west never want to see that happened, especially America. Look what happened to European union now, most of them American allies but now they're fucked up with energy crisis because of american foreign policy. America doesn't want any other nations or organization tried to replace super power status, period. Remember even american spies proudly wiretapped Germany, a trustworthy american ally and economic powerhouse of Europe couple years ago. Angela Merkel protested but got no further sanctions. Even america wished the downfall of Germany as economic powerhouse of Europe. So, take care what are the next plans of america to prevent united east asia
山川异域，不共戴天

I hope so too but it's not going to happen with China's current leader and government. For example China's stance on Taiwan has only divided East Asia further.

I don't know Chinese and speak only the very basic ones but I really enjoyed visiting there for a while and especially I love Chinese food and some shopping. I find it a bit reassuring that Chinese people seem to appreciate the effort of speaking all the basic Chinese phrases that I can without being so judgy. I understand that my country and China's government are not in good terms but I guess a lot of Chinese people are not the "villains" media or governments are painting.
It's disappointing that the media in many countries always gives negative comments on China so many foreigners have a negative impression on China. As a Chinese, I am very sad about this. I hope that more people can travel here and have a look. I guess most of them would change their mind after visiting China!
I'm definitely going to Shanghai ❤️❤️❤️🙀
great video! 99% of people in both countries are very very friendly!
Not from what we see in western media though... we see japan’s president kishida very antagonist towards China ... japan constantly spread lies and propaganda about China ....
@@lindagonzalez5513 ah yes, because China is all "peace & love" and they don't spread hate and propaganda towards Japan or other Asian countries. For sure, right?
我是美国人，然后我学中文和日语有10年，日本にも中国にも生活したことありますが、やっぱり中国の方が住みやすいですね。As a westerner it’s been a real blessing to learn about life through Chinese and Japanese culture and language.

Great street interview!!!
Somtimes wish these types of videos can be shared with everyone that have bad impressions of China and indeed other countries. It always amazes me when people say their opinions change just by going there to live. That's why i always try to never judge a country before I have experienced it and take everything I read on the news with caution.
For decades, mainstream media in Western countries and Japan have been deliberately demonizing China. You can't really expect people there to have a normal image of China, let alone a positive one.
That's why I don't watch English news anymore, it's usually full of lies.
