Bill Brown is a real gentleman.
He has found humanity in himself.
Bill Brown, one of the most wonderful friends of China.
Bill and china are enemy of the rest of the world
He is more than a friend. He has Chinese permanent residence long time ago and has been to Tian-an-men military parade numerous times.
@@gillyguyshangguan4849 Yes indeed. My reply to the above was deleted by YT.
Professor Bill Brown, one of China's most treasured friends, your work in China is much appreciated!
What is nice story straight from the heart.
If everyone in this world was like professor Brown there would be everlasting peace! Praise to China and professor Brown! Deep love and respect from Nepal!
It is China’s blessings to have Mr Brown to teach so many University students over 30 years’ of time.🙏🙏🙏
He is a true preacher of humankind, a wise-man full of wisdom, an ordinary human being doing extraordinary things. It doesn't matter if hes American or Chinese, label becomes immaterial. Its the caring heart for human kinds that matters. If Bill stays in China forever, then I will now plan to go and work in China too. Thank you Bill and God bless.
It is highly respectable for a scholar like Bill Brown to dedicate himself to promote peace in humanity. There are many war-mongers who provoke and advocate aggression towards other countries or groups for their evil bad self-interest. The world needs more positive and constructive figures to make a better world.
@leongchun-wah6944 Well said and true today more than ever!!
He is a true man of peace.
There are a few good Americans. Quite refreshing actually. Bill is one that has a straight thinking.
TTruely .... US have many GOOD AMericans. So Much of these Kind, Compassionate, etc. ...PEOPLE........... Sadly , Over time ....... Much has Changed and US are not the Same Any more.
@@sunshinesun121 Yeah, many good ones, but only few who know better. Sad.
There are more than few. Many Americans, Canadians, and New Zealands are good people. It's their government that is screwed up. The other Western Countries don't have the balls to stand up to Imperial America.
Thanks for telling the truth!
To have doctor Brown in China 🇨🇳 it was fortunate !
Excellent Prof. Bill Brown congratulations. Live a happy and harmonious life in China.
We need more people like Bill Brown

You are a legend, Sir !. Now, if only more westerners had your wisdom ..........
We need more people like him
Can you imagine Bill can stay in China's for 32 years.
Thank you for loving China.

Hats off to you sir 👍💪💪💪😍😍😍💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝
good man with open mind
Found that more refreshing than the BS written in western newspapers!
Wow... Great Man...
God bless you Bill.
Thank you for sharing your experience in China👍
Great post of Bill Brown's life in China.
He is true American
Everyone is a cosmopolitan.
Why do we divide human beings by race, religion or land boundary???
I remember him from my time in Xiamen
Well said.
love u story.. nice..
Sounds like if you are an ordinary person just making a living and not cause trouble, you will live a very safe and happy life in China.
The man's full of intellect, wisdom and humility. A rare breed, indeed. Little wonder why he finds China much more compatible than Uncle Sam.
Experience, be in that land, direct contact with the local cultures. That's the best lessons that we can learn good and bad. We can't live alone anymore, as the world is getting smaller due to the advancement of technology. We're all human, should be equal! We need to be multicultural, respect each other. That brings harmony, and we all could be one someday. Bless the world
Wow! What an amazing experience.
Africa loves Chinese
"for every 4 person in the world 1 is Chinese" Your family consisted of 4 person but none is Chinese. That made me laugh so hard...Prof. Brown. Wish you all the best.
I think you misunderstand his macro level referencing
He certainly loves the people of China.
Sometimes countries so different to your own captures your heart, for me it is Pakistan. Regards from Australia
祝你身体健康，生活愉快，工作顺利。
Nowadays, don't tell people you're from China or have any connection to China if you live in the US.
How do I apply for a teaching job in China
Another ‘AngMo’( we, in Signgapore refer the Whites in nickname) like Jeffrey Sachs, Cyrus Janssen has absolutely nothing NEGATIVE to speak of Chinese/China.
He & his family wld like to live in the GREAT CHINA forever !!!👍🏼👍🏼
How I wish I can too. I’m from Singapore!
Good. Please tell your countrymen more so that they don't look at China with a Western bias view.
Excellent
I want this for black/African people 😔 I can't wait until the West leaves my people tf alone so our continent can develop.
İf İ were young again İ would go to China.
China is a good place for retirement!
Safe; low cost of living with same or even better quality of life; dancing/exercising with the seniors in the evening in the parks instead of being couch potatoes watching TV; .....!
The formal name of this gentleman is William N. Brown (潘维廉).
Yea ! Stay there.
👏👏👏👍👍👍
There is no such a thing as a bad student, just bad teachers!
🕊️🤝❤️
All the smart people go to China. All the dumb people go to America. The law of attraction 😂
两份条约一目了然
一、1945年中华民国和苏联加盟条约
签字人：王世杰(外长), 斯大林
1.苏联承认中国对外蒙古的宗主国地位；苏联必须在1950年前撤走在外蒙古境内的所有驻军。苏联同意中国政府对蒙古的驻军，但其驻军不能用来反对苏联。苏联强烈要求25年以内中国政府同意外蒙古举行公民表决，由联合国监督表决的公平性。
2.中华民国政府声明对外蒙古有不可质辩的主权，中国政府1950年10月10日恢复对外蒙古驻军，用于保护领土完整，不用于反对苏联，在同一时间实行蒙古高度自治。中华民国政府同意 100年以内让外蒙古人民举行公民表决，由联合国监督表决的公平性。公民表决的先决条件是1911年被苏联用武力驱逐出去的原外蒙各族居民迁回原地，参与投票。中国政府认为，公民表决是决定自治，不是决定独立。
3.双方同意就蒙古问题继续进行谈判。双方同意就东蒙问题继续进行谈判。
4.苏联同意无条件撤走苏联驻东三省所有武装力量。同意中国政府恢复原苏殖民地大连主权；苏联承认中国对海参威的主权，苏联同意在50内以内撤走苏联驻海参威所有武装力量。
5.中国政府将在1995恢复对海参威的主权，并开放海参威为自由港，对苏联免税。
6.双方同意就海参威问题继续进行谈判。
7.苏联承认江东六十四屯为中国领土。苏联承认图门江出海口是中国主权。
8.中国声明图门江出海口是中国主权，为了中苏友好图门江对苏联开放。
9.中国政府将保留继续废除不平等条约的权力。
10.苏联拒绝中国对科叶群岛的主权要求，但原意同中国政府就所有领土纠纷进行谈判。
11.中苏两国一致同意江面主权中苏各二分之一。
12.本条约需要中国国民代表大会同意，苏联人民代表大会同意，中苏最高领导人签字才能生效。
二、中苏友好同盟协议：(1949)
中苏友好同盟协议：(1949)
签字人：毛泽东, 斯大林
1.中华人民共和国无条件承认外蒙古独立，取消国民政府关于外蒙的不平等条约。并愿意根据联合国民族居住权原则，把南京政府用武力霸占的外蒙领土还给外蒙。
2.中华人民共和国承认海参威(包括海参威所辖之郊区)是苏联固有领土；中华人民共和国承认江东六十四屯为苏联领土。中华人民共和国承认图门江出海口是苏联主权；"新疆北郊"是苏联领土；
3.中华人民共和国停止1945年以来南京政府所有索土要求。承认清朝政府1850年以来所有领土条约。
4.乌苏里江江域靠苏方三分之二属于苏联主权，靠中方三分之一属于中国主权。
5.苏联政府欢迎中华人民共和国关于领土的声明。
6.双方同盟一致反对台湾国民党，及美国为首的帝国主义。
7.承认清政府关于大连的协议，承认苏联在大连旅顺的特权。
8.中华人民共和国欢迎苏联在新疆、东北、内蒙驻军，兄弟互助关系。
1949年，新政与苏俄签订《中苏友好同盟协议》，“无条件承认外蒙古独立，取消国民政府关于外蒙的不平等条约。并愿意根据联合国民族居住权原则，把南京政府用武力霸占的外蒙领土还给外蒙”。 并发表社论祝贺外蒙独立，1950年2月《人民日报》还刊载了胡华的文章，题目是“我们为什么要承认外蒙独立？”郭沫若也在“中苏友好同盟条约四周年纪念日”，北京新华广播电台发表了“我们应该怎样认识外蒙古立？”的文章。露骨地为外蒙脱离祖国而辩解。
《人民日报》社论:只有国民党反动派才痛恨蒙古独立
1950.02.24
作者：胡华
大家知道，蒙古曾侵入中华建立过蒙元。明太祖即位后蒙元灭亡，满清兴起后，又被满清占领统治。蒙古人民长期在本族统治阶级和异族统治的奴役压迫下，过着极其贫穷痛苦的生活。
到一九一一年中国辛亥革命，推翻满清后，蒙古是不是解放了呢？没有的，相反的它更成了帝国主义侵略争夺的对像。当辛亥革命十月中国武昌起义时，蒙古的统治阶级――王公、便利用这个机会，以“独立”的名义，投入帝俄的怀抱。
一九一七年俄国十月革命胜利，日本帝国主义却利用了白俄反动将军谢米诺夫，窃据蒙古，和苏联红军作战，到一九一一年才被苏联红军击溃。谢米诺夫失败之后，日本帝国主义又利用了中国北洋军阀安福系将军徐树铮侵入蒙古，在那里建立了亲日的军事独裁。安福系在中国北方失势之后，日寇复扶植谢米诺夫的一个助手――温根男爵，盘踞蒙古。蒙古人民受这样长期的侵略掠夺，什么时候才起来革命获得解放的呢？
为了反对帝国主义的劫掠，为了解放蒙古，蒙古贫苦破产的牧人和广大的下层职员、喇嘛、便在却伊巴桑等蒙古革命者领导下，在一九二○年组织了一个秘密的革命团体，发动游击战争。
侵略者统治着虽然用各种野蛮的屠杀，死刑和迫害来对待蒙古革命者，但蒙古的革命团体和革命游击队却日益壮大，到一九二一年的三月便举行了一个游击队和恰克图附近的盟族的代表大会，选出临时的革命政府，会上并以大多数决议，请求苏联的帮助。
在三月十七日到十八日夜间，蒙古革命游击队便攻占了恰克图，不久，又先后击溃了中国北洋军阀侵略军万余人，日寇扶植的白俄温根男爵反动骑兵一万一千人，在战争过程中，苏联红军曾出兵援助蒙古革命游击队，使革命取得了胜利。
在一九二四年（民国十三年），蒙古已宣告了独立，建立了蒙古人民共和国。当时，中国的国共合作的广东革命政府，对蒙古的独立是承认的，因为孙中山先生在“国民党第一次全国代表大会宣言”中，已承认了“民族自决”的原则。“那末，正式承认蒙古独立问题为何一直拖到一九四五年呢？承认经过如何呢？”由于在一九二七年叛卖革命的中国国民党反动政府，一直坚持大汉族主义，所以不肯承认蒙古独立。而蒙古从革命以来，在苏联的友谊帮助下，内部已建设的很强盛；对牵制打击日寇保卫远东和平，有也很大的贡献，如一九三五年和三六年，蒙古革命军曾两次击退了日寇在蒙古国境内东部的挑衅行为；一九三九年在诺门坎，苏军蒙军并肩作战，给进犯的日寇以严重的打击。在中国八年抗战中，苏联远东军和蒙古革命军对百多万日本精锐关东军的牵制，对中国抗战是极大的帮助。而在一九四五年的八月十日，蒙古人民共和国有对日宣战，配合苏军，联合东北抗日联军，出兵夹击日寇，在世界反法西斯战争中间，建立了卓著功勋。因此，世界各国，尤其是中国，应该正式承认蒙古的独立，这是义不容辞的。
所以，在一九四五年八月十日订“中苏友好同盟条约”的同时，双方又交换了“关于蒙古人民共和国之独立的问题”的文书。在文书中，中国国民党政府声明：“……由于外蒙古人民屡次所表示出的对于独立的热望，中国政府声明：在日本失败以后，若是外蒙古人民的投票公决证实此种热望时，那么，中国政府将承认具有其现时境界的外蒙古之独立。……”
“投票公决”的结果如何呢？一九四五年十月二十日举行的蒙古人民投票的结果，有百分之九十七?八的人，投票赞成独立，连国民党政府派去监票的内政部次长雷法章，也对投票手续表示满意（见塔斯社一九四五年十月二十二日库仑电）。
蒙古的独立，就是在民族自决的原则下，一个新国家的诞生，给世界的和平民主阵营增加了一份力量。承认蒙古独立，对每个真正爱国的中国人来说，是天经地义的事，只得欢呼的事。只有国民党反动派才痛恨蒙古独立，他们在当时被迫承认了蒙古独立，事后又大肆造谣，侮蔑人民的蒙古，侮蔑苏联与伟大的世界领袖斯大林，说：“蒙古独立是中国领土的丧失”。反动派这样说原也不足为怪，可怪的是，我们人民中有的人居然也有宗主国的情绪，似乎蒙古也非得划在中国“版图”上不可以似的，这实在是中了大汉族主义的毒。

he is cute the way he talks

TAIWAN IS NOT CHINA

"CIPG is funded in whole or in part by the Chinese government"
So ?
America the Great doesn't fund any business/media? How much money is used on propaganda?
So many beautiful girls to marry
大智若愚，虚怀若谷。
Because he's a commy ?
China voice speaker too soft for the world to hear unlike US a little sound the whole damn world heard.
It's time to immigrate to China. All these Vlogs from people from the West who settled in China show they are living a wonderful life. Time to leave the West to live in China. Maybe I can teach English or something.
Similar to his misconception of China, as late as the early 2000s, I still had a wrong picture of South Korea....until the Air Force deployed me to Seoul, Korea.
That's when I saw a modern city with skyscrapers just like any big city in the U.S.
Before then, I had in my mind a land full of rice patties even though I knew that Samsung, LG, Hyundai, and other nameplates came from Korea.
I just didn't make the connection - just typical American narrowmindedness!
No one believes these lies .
Then, don't come to China!
Bill Brown what do u have to say about Chinas occupation of Tibet, Inner Mongolia, Xingiang etc. These were all independent countries till the occupation of China. It has Border dispute with several countries. Stop ur crap.
Here's a story, talk to Tibetans about how they were burned alive and raped, talk to people in Hong Kong about governmental murder, talk to Uyghurs about rape, murder and torture... Talk to the world about a country who built islands on international waters, about a government who kills more of its citizens than Nazi Germany (do the math, do the research). Talk to me "Doctor" about a country who steals everything that can be stolen and plans a military around keeping the world to reacting to the eminent invasion of Taiwan... typical Trump republican....
I live in Hong Kong. There is no problem here!
Liar!
Ask the Tibetans what kind of life they have under Dai Lama?!
So u can eat bat
china is great if you do not want freedom
You are right! China definitely doesn't want the freedoms of gun violence, drug abuse, homelessness, white supremacy, looting under US$950, ....
