Winston Itchy boots is riding around SA on her motorcycle in her latest travels, maybe you should introduce Matt to motorcycle trips around SA.
@@Honorablebenaiaha Why do you mention the fact they are white males, you do realise white people were also slaves over a thousand years ago, and that it was black tribes who took other tribes hostage and used them as slaves, after they defeated them in battle. So due to black on black slavery do you really think you should be commenting on slavery, a little hypocritical
@@Honorablebenaiaha And what you said is typical black supremacy talking points, ignorant to history and culture, denying the past of another culture. I would say your own past, but I know you are a westerner, brought up in a western country, not African, So you have no real knowledge of slavery and hardship.
@@kevinbarnbrook4728 It's a troll.
@@Honorablebenaiaha Cry more, brownie
Yeah and 95% of ppl in cults approve of their cult leaders...up until they actually leave the cult...
.and who are you following..........on y-t. haha.
what about those Chinese already leave the cult, live in the US or other country, but still support the CCP？
@@MrLaTEchno huh?
Indeed. See: today’s Republican Party.
VERY GOOD POINT ❗️
"Legit don't know where we are". That sounds like the best time.
And the most awkward grammar!
I remember one time I took a bus I always saw passing near my house, to get home. Mid way tru to home, the bus took a right turn and entered a neighbornhood I never saw before, and stoped way into that hood. I had to walk home for a mile afterwards.
It's way scarier when that happens to you
Looks like Temecula...
@@That_Bender yeah. I was thinking the same. I live not too far from Temecula and was like "damn that Mt range looks familiar" lol
Oh I definitely know where they're riding through. But I ain't telling. 🤷♂️😛
Yeah, asian american here, speak both cantonese and mandarin, still got turned away by a hotel in guangzhou in 2018 because of the foreign passport.
I'm surprised they didn't call the PSB to investigate.
不是說台灣是同一國人嗎？台灣人也是不能住在便宜的酒店。所以共產黨自己規定台灣人不是中國人。🤣🤣🤣

You can be pro CCP or pro Chinese people, but you can’t be both.
They are mutually exclusive.
The CCP is led by Winnie the Pooh, a jowl faced punk.
You mean like white blood cells and red blood cells?
ultimately that's the case but that's exactly what's different between western thinking and chinese thinking, the lines defined there will forever be blurred when it comes to 中庸
@@kylehill3643 ccp is more like a cancer cell
@@kylehill3643 more like white blood cells versus HIV cells, if we’re talking about the CCP
Just the fact that you guys still hang out, bike together, and keep the "helmet chats" going (like you did back in China), makes my heart warm. Here's to many more years of it! 🍻
As an aside, I'm guessing that "discussing China and pro-CCP shills" is fairly low on the list of things most people would guess that two motorcyclists in the USA are doing as they ride.
In the coming years, that'll be thought of as a very 2019 guess 😛
You never know.
Who would have guessed professional basket ball dribblers would chime in ? Then they breathe in and exhale some nonsense about their raw deal in America. The James fellow says he is smart and nobody can debate him. Hysterical.
@Waldo M. Yes, they said in the first minute of the video that it's California.
@Waldo M. (Imitates Goofy) Gorsh! I didn't know Canada had Australian type trees and dry canyons! Learn something new everyday!

When I was in Nanjing, me and my friend had to look up 4/5 different places as all but one didn't allow foreigners
It is "my friend and I"
@@michaelmorris2623 thanks for correcting my grammar, Michael Morris 🙏🏻
Back in the day, I almost had to sleep on the street in Nanjing. That was in 1989.
But Chinese in US can stay anywhere freely, can buy a home, go to school, buy health insurance, buy stock, open a business and have internet freedom. No wonder CCP’s children all come to US to live including Xi Jin Ping’s daughter in Boston. CCP hypocrites!
7 days Inn will usually take foreigners. In most Chinese cities...
Tfw You watch an ADVChina video and Winston and C-milk literally ride past your house. Should have come up and rang the doorbell i would have cracked some beers for you guys.
Would have helped if we even knew where we were! We rode nearly 250 miles that day!
Lmao That's pretty cool
It’s cool seeing my native California scenery on here after watching your China videos for years! Much less milk-dogs I imagine. Be careful still

Same! Everytime they pass by some place I've been to or live by or lived by it makes me smile and go awww!

My workmate lived in china for six years and very much talks like you and has similar stories
I forgotten which of these shills was trying his best to explain why these re education campus were a good thing! Simply disgusting!
I have seen Barret and Nathan Bitch do this.
Basically Colonialism but red.
"No single raindrop thinks it caused the flood"
While I largely agree, I think it's also important to keep in mind that the Chinese people are ultimately the _only_ ones who can do anything about the CCP, and that should not be forgotten.
Pretty sure that's exactly how the majority of humanity thinks about the US. You know the country actually starting wars, doing coups, funding arming and training mercenary armies in every corner of the world. The only country that's actually used nukes. A country that tells you it's "the land of the free" and "China is a dictatorship" but this "land of the free" locks up more than 5x as many of it's own people as the "dictatorship." Not that actual facts would have any influence on your child like and emotionally based world views.
As why nothing will be done. A bird born and raised in a cage thinks flying is a disease.
@@darttoyou1398 Damn right analogy.
"Anti CCP" is indeed one of the, if not the most, "Pro China" and "Pro Chinese" things we can do. We love China and it's why we hate the CCP.

Don't worry about those idiots. Anyone who's worth convincing knows you guys are honest actors.

“Legit don’t know where we are.”
Love you guys. A willingness to admit ignorance is refreshing in today’s society.

If a South African grouses about his freedom of movement in my country I'm on his side. A world that is free is wealthy.
Correction: A world that is wealthy is free.
Freedom is the most valuable asset one can have. I'd be happier free and penniless under a bridge than wealthy yet tied down.
@@kuuryotwo5153 Hypocrites often say that i know, if you live under a stupid damm bridge you automatically have no freedom, money buys freedom.
@@brunopimenta8204 yep, freedom has a dollar value, that is capitalism. Water soo n, and eventually clean air.
A lot of Chinese don't actually know the hotel thing, I went to a friends hometown and he said I could stay at a hotel there. It didn't accept foreigners, but they made an exception (my mates dad was a policeman) and posted a policeman in the lobby for the entire duration of my stay (one night). I went to the convenience store at night for snacks and the policeman escorted me there.
All the police need to do is manually record your stay - that’s all.
Every citizen (local or foreign) are required to be registered on the system.
It’s just ppl do not know or want to do it (police and hotels etc)
@@nct9466 A lot of places just can't be bothered to handle a passport, so just say "Mei You"
@@Mattsta2010 yep and imagine that happening in your country and let’s say those foreigners are from mainland China.....
The CCP would shake their fist and demand their “legal rights” be adhered too.
Happy to stick with you guys through the adventures! As a person who's traveled to China numerous times for business now you've been a constant source of valuable information to decipher the culture from a western mind. I know you guys catch a lot of heat and I respect that you've always kept it real with your audience. I've been keeping up with you guys for the better part of 5 years now and these conversations you've shared with us all have been personally very valuable. Keep adventuring and keep sharing! For those of us who are invested in China as a player in the world economy, you keep us fresh with what's going on when we're stateside on how things shift and change.
Thank you both for your integrity. You guys are awesome, mad respect for both of ya
I like primary sources to gauge my world view on. Thank you guys for letting us know more about what really happens in China because of the oppressiveness of the CCP. You guys are amazing! Keep it up!
This is so insightful. My partner watches these western CCP mouth pieces saying how westerners have a better life and “freer” in China. But I said they don’t want to risk being arrested if they told the truth.
Ditto

It's because of you guys Iv learned so much about China that I would have never seen. So much of it is not shown here in the States. You showed it has beautiful side that is amazing but also showed its dark twisted side. It's not the people the political side that sours it but overall it has many great aspects.
Winston, I have been following you since you stopped by SV Seeker and saw Doug, I was there the day after you left.
I have really enjoyed your point of view and applaud you guys for taking the hard road and doing the right thing!
Stay Awesome!
That’s awesome! Doug is such cool guy and I love what he’s doing
Oh, did Winston make a guest appearance on Seeker's channel? I love collab videos, as I think everyone does who also subscribe to collab channel ADVChina.
*If you ever feel meaningless, just remember that The JaYoe Nation’s 2nd channel is called “Nuance”. A CCP bootlicker who is featured on Chinese state media is claiming to be impartial. the irony 🤣*
Reminds me of when I was China (this was 12-13 years ago)--when you go to a huge supermarket you have to stash your bag in a little locker before you're allowed inside. No shoplifting allowed! And the name of the store? "Trust."
So many people in american politics use the term 'bootlicker' almost obsessively, it actually caught me off guard to see someone use the term correctly for once
He stirs up hatred against other youtubers complains about hatred in the chinese community like he has nothing to do with it. Ridiculously perposterous.
@@Gogglesofkrome that’s true tho and I’m not even American I’m Lithuanian lol🇱🇹
@Doomsday Clown They didn't do anything 'right,' they literally bought their way into success by making use of traitors within our own government who are happy to remove any barrier for trade with china, so that they can produce goods over there for cents on the dollar, while they at the same time make things as noncompetitive as possible by continually raising the minimum wage and inflating the value of the dollar to insane heights.
It's not impossible to become rich outside of existing capital since economies are not zero-sum games, but it's far easier to just profiteer at the expense of America than it is to just build it all from scratch.
The chinese are not nearly as ingrained as this mafia (epstein, weinstein etc sex ring that involves all of hollywood/politics ring any bells?) that's selling our country away is, but it wouldn't be wrong to blame china as well as these traitors for things being the way things are today.
Just want to say it's been a nice couple years so far seeing great stories from the both of you "telling it how it is from your experience". We are indeed all imperfect people, but as long as we continue to share what we know and keep an open mind to the stories and motivations of others it all helps increase our understanding of the world. So stay awesome and keep sharing those stories.
I’ve stayed in hundreds of cheap lodgings in rural China, and In my experience I got turned away for being a foreigner about 1 out of every 10 times.
Your videos have become stellar! They've definitely lived up to the potential that your early videos showed. Good work!
You guys are the best source of real China news, and I love seeing your little adventures (today's was very pretty). You also set a great example to everyone. Keep it up :)

The CCP is amazingly troublesome at so many levels. The people of China deserve better.
Why ? Do Democrats deserve to live under their policies ?
@@timwilson2920 In what way is the CCP not amazingly troublesome?
@Raymond Seow Soo Huai like it or not the CCP has a history of being a bad actor. In business, in international diplomacy, in how it treats its people. I understand that you don't want to or cannot accept such things, but it doesn't make them any less true.
@Raymond Seow Soo Huai you do get that you are the personification of the subject of today's channel topic? Kind of ironic, but there it is.
FWIW, history happens immediately after the now.
@Raymond Seow Soo Huai Dude, when all else fails, go maximum vulgar? I get that the 50 cent infantry is a thing, just didn't realize it was such an inept thing.
In Vancouver, I have encountered people who would classify criticizing CCP or Huawei as being "anti Asian". I wonder how many Japanese, Koreans, Taiwanese, Malays, Thai or Filipinos would agree with these people.

@@hughmungus2760 For what, I still don't understand. Were we ever, as a nation, at risk? Preemptive warfare? Is that moral? If we destroy the lives of civilians to take down our enemies, how are we any better than those enemies we justify attacking by pointing at their attacks on civilians? It seems very unamerican, which is ironic, because that very unamerican image is now the internationally recognized identity of the USA. But, I mean, it's not as if the citizens had any say. Do you remember voting to go to war?
Don't get me wrong. I am not inherently against war. It is the natural fruit of ambition. However, seeing either side enter the fray painted as saviors or keepers of righteousness actually makes me furious. There are no heroes on a battlefield...

Expect a series of tweets from Danny 'tankie' Dumbshill. The guy actually tweeted about me giving my full name and saying I'm no longer working in Taiwan lol. I actually am still working here and said in one of my videos that I wasn't working to see if they would take the bait. It's laughable that he would go after me a small channel with only 500 or so subs. Good analysis of these clowns guys. You both rock!
I saw those recent tweets, he really is a vindictive vile piece of work. By default he calls anybody who speaks out about Xinjiang, Hong Kong or Tibet an extremist and blocks anybody who makes a point he can't answer

waiting for this topic for so long. thanks Winston&Cmilk for this video. Shills will pay for that they did.
I love your program ADV China Channel. Along with it, learnt a lot of things. Yeah am with you guys with your vision. But also wanted to learn about the newer chapter about the ADV USA, if you guys could move onto it. That's what I wanted to tell in my earlier comment. But you guys made this video. But anyways, I love your vision of humanity.
Kind of jealous of that cyclist, weather is gorgeous in socal while it is still -15 here, and the scenary, oof.
love all your videos, talking about the good and bad about china, it's people and the CCP. also i feel like serpentZA is the most upright person i have ever seen in my life, from his demeanor and his manner of speaking even though i don't agree with everything he has said till now.
I lived in china two years, english teacher, and It was quite the adventure. like you both I fell in love with the country and never wanted to leave. I met my recently married wife there and had all intentions of staying, but as you two talk about I saw the writing on the wall and felt I was there on borrowed time. I was lucky to be back home in the states when covid hit with my wife, january to march, but we had to go back. My wife is actually Taiwanese, so we decided to go back to her hometown. Best decision Ive every made! Not to hate on living in china, I actually live in Foshan, near Guanzhou, but the pollution, the constant bother of visas or bank issues, and especially after seeing how china handled the outbreak scared the living hell out of me.
With all this said, living in Taiwan is great, but now I'm even more terrified about the CCP and their future plans for this country that I now call home. The constant treats of invasion, the sound of fighter jets going over my city every day (Chunghua), and monthly missile strike alerts on my phone really put me on edge.
Where I'm going with this is I have followed your videos since my china adventure, they were a huge part in actually motivating me to make the move in the first place, really eased me into the culture shock. But these videos you make now I believe are extremely important for people to watch even if they have never traveled. There needs to be a mass awakening, because the CCP is banking on our apathy to continue their dominance. When I talk about these issues to friends in the states I'm met with that same PC crap that I'm being raciest and whatever, burns me up! Even my own parents keep asking when and if I'm going to go back to china, they both we also diagnosed with Covid 19 (recovered) and would much rather blame their own government for it then where it originated from!
To end this, America, China Ex-Pats, and the world....WAKE UP!
Zachary Kepley, I so agree with your assessment. I lived in Germany for a year. I loved the German people, landscape, history etc. But it was a real eye-opener. I realized there was no such thing as an innocent German insofar as the Jewish people were concerned. We in the US have no concept how small Europe is, how tightly bound their customs, towns and politics are. I repeat THERE WAS NO SUCH THING AS GERMANS WHO WERE UNKNOWING AS TO WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH THE JEWISH PEOPLE! Was i compassionate? Yes. Was i understanding? Yes. Do i realize we are walking into the same exact situation? Yes! Yes! Yes! So the tie in to your situation is for people to wake up and to become responsible instead of worrying about all this silly stuff that fills most people's lives. I wish you safety and joy.
Good to see you back on the bikes. and even GDS!! ;-)
Your comments seem spot on. As for the apathy of the Chinese, I kind of viewed it as pragmatic when I lived there.
Not much they can do about the gov, most detest anyone(CCP) telling them what to do and just find ways around it so they can focus on their life.
I do regret not learning Chinese while I was there, but with a photographers eye I think I captured the essence and feel of life in Shenzhen, China
I was born and raised in China. I left the country when I was twenty. Born in the city, I used to think China was a good place to live, mostly because of the brainwash education I received and relatively confortable life I had. But then when I was 18, I traveled around the countryside in different provinces. I see with my own eyes, the reality. That’s when I decided to leave for good.
Let’s just put it this way, I’m sure most Chinese will agree with this. China is a feast for the very very very few and enslavement for almost everyone. The very very very few has so much that they can do whatever they want, including hiring anyone to broadcast how great they are and at the same time shut down anyone who dares to say otherwise. Since they have so much and everyone has so little, they don’t even treat everyone the way humans should be treated. While everyone, being slaves, has to fight each other ferociously to get the piece of meat thrown out by the few. Think about “the hunger games”, it has some resemblance in a sense.
I’ve been watching serpentza and laowhy86 since a few years ago. I assure you from my personal experience, all they said is true. I enjoy it so much because of their insight into China. It resonates with my personal experience so much as if I’m reliving there in their videos. You know when sometimes you are the few who see the truth, you’d like to hear someone else say it. It gives you an assurance. It’s kind of a satisfaction to know what you know is indeed true, especially when lies are being told by the majority. Since I left the country years ago, it’s also very interesting for me to get to know how the situation there has evolved. From what I know about the country, the current situation is really not much of a surprise.
Well, keep up the good work guys. Stay awesome.

Today, he drove to the top of a scenic lookout ridge, drank his beer and will now presumably drive back down. He's probably not intoxicated though. Things are looking up though, he spoke out against the CCP revenue generation via cigarette taxation. I feel so sad for him when he's shilling because I like his personality, generally.
I have done business and travelled all over China since 1999. This video is the perfect summary of my opinion on this issue. I've seen more of China than all of my Chinese friends and speak and read to a basic conversational level. I think these guys are the real deal because their insights match mine perfectly. Thanks guys. Be safe. We don't need martyrs. We need people that can help us understand this complex and fascinating country and its people.
Glad you don't call people out by name.
I am a Chinese. I didn't bring my ID one night and I could not check in any hotel and I stayed through the night at a Mcdonald's.
You guys are the most pro China channel I know. Stay awesome!
Wow, a new channel to binge-watch! You do amazing work!
Thank you guys 🥺 . Those shills torment me . And one my channels tiny and two I have very limited political and shill videos . They’re absolutely insane . Dumbrill especially.
Those drone shot of the Chinese countryside with the motorbikes and intro music is how I fell in love with China in the first place. It's been sad to watch the relationship turn toxic, but I continue to tune in every once in a while to hear your thoughts and watch ya'll ride. Anti-CCP is pro-China. Well Said
I'm a US citizen who grew up in China (lived there for 18 years), and I can really relate to your guy's struggle with the discourse surrounding China, and the feelings you have towards China itself. I personally find it really difficult to reconcile the fond and happy memories, the beauty, the grandeur of China with a lot of the ugliness that I was exposed to as well. I feel like it's something that many Chinese people really do want to have a conversation about, as my peers, my relatives, and generally Chinese people I've spoken to, have acknowledged both sides of this proverbial coin. But with Chinese han nationalism, the continued state driven effort to conflate the state and the people, the history of European imperialism in China/China's century of humiliation and the impact that had on the national psyche, the opacity of state institutions and its relationship to the party, as well as the lack of verified information about anything political, (and many other factors) the discourse surrounding criticism of China has been more or less poisoned: you are either a supporter of the regime and are therefore a loyal and true Chinese citizen, or a traitorous political terrorist who wants China to be carved up and enslaved by the West. Throw in the more overt ways the CCP uses to control the narrative, and the more overt cruelties the CCP inflicts on political dissidents, existing in a sea of resigned apathy between those two extremes is really the only option for most Chinese people. It's downright depressing, and even despite the massive strides China has made in pulling people out of poverty over the last 30 years, the Chinese people really deserve better than this. There is admittedly some progress on some social issues, like with women protesting large feminist issues in China, but even then it's fraught with danger for activists who might stray too closely to criticizing the CCP. So now, when I think of my home, I guess I have to learn to be comfortable feeling deeply divided about it, because with the CCP there, as it stands today, I don't see how things are going to change for the better.
U guys rock! Glad you're enjoying Cali, it's a great place!!!
i loved that Gweilo reference at 11:50
I have been a long time viewer
Y’all have always been a huge proponent of China and it’s people!
Thank you for your work!
Chinese friends almost always get shock to see what I go through in terms of: exchange RMB to dollar, hotel, buying SIM cards, train tickets etc.
I think you’re right with the apathy towards their government. My tutor used to passively support the CCP, although not so much now. I once asked her why the Chinese are supportive of the CCP, because they’re not stupid, they know that they don’t have the same freedoms as a democracy. She said it’s a lot about stability, with China having the civil war and all the chaos from the fall of the Qing to ‘49, they’re nervous about something that may return China to that upheaval. She was born right at the start of the cultural revolution, and attended the Tiananmen protests.
This video Reminds me of Laowhy’s very first video!
I am with you guys! Continue doing the right things! 💪🏻
