our northern neighbors here in Mexico do the same. they keep bashing mexico in the media but like our country so much they even stole half of it and want more.
It's a very weird situation when it was JAPAN that started WW2 in the East, slaughtering millions and performing unmentionable atrocities against Europeans wherever they encountered them throughout Asia, turning them into POWs while China committed no such acts at all and was a victim. Yet, the West has turned the World upside down since. While the West mistake China's progress as that of Japan's and praises Japan for it, on the flip side, they would take scenes from some random run-down old street in Hong Kong or the backstreets of some Western old Chinatowns (eg in Chicago) as being representative of China. Confirmation bias by the West? Western original racial prejudice against the Chinese (a'la The Yellow Peril) because the Chinese refuse to bow down in submission to the West and want to be independent and truly free to lead their own lives and future?
The US is constantly fearmongering about the 'China Threat' . " What exactly is the China Threat ? The China Threat is China's existence. The US will not tolerate the existence of a state that cannot be intimidated , that does not follow US orders but pursues its own course." Noam Chomsky.
It’s the same lie they said that they are the beacon of freedom, democracy and human rights, but in fact they are none of these at all. That is how they distort the world
The answer is simple, Japan is viewed as being conquered by the West, while China is viewed as the one that may potentially conquering the West. Historically it shows the same thing, even the Mongols and the Manchurians who have ruled China for a period, they became part of the Chinese Culture and part of China, not the other way around. Japanese culture are heavily influenced by Chinese culture, their Kanji is basically Chinese writings.
I still remember that video of an airport in China which you shared with the employees holding a cushion to soften the baggage landing on the conveyor and all those people thinking it was in japan. Its very annoying to always see people thinking everything good is only japan and nowhere else!
China: The sovereign state with a competent government whose people enjoy true freedom, democracy and human rights and whose lives are constantly improving thanks to socialism. Korea and Japan: The capitalist dystopias led by US-puppet dictators without any sovereignty over their own countries whose people hate their own governments and constantly have to protest against US military occupation.
For me I just use common sense when people tell me that China is poor & underdeveloped; "so why is the US afraid of this poor & underdeveloped country, why", they keep quiet. 😅😅
The ESSENCE of propaganda is to portray the enemy as both WEAK and DANGEROUS at the same time. There is nothing logical about it; it is designed to appeal to the emotions, not the intellect. And it works because most people have the brains of a bag of spanners.
Just like the US Govt. uses the word "overcapacity" to describe China export. If China made is really overcapacity and no one is buying it, why US is trying so hard to slow it down 😂
Those people that simply take media reporting for the truth are simply too lazy to verify the truth. They prefer to stick to ignorance and simply parrot narratives used to brainwash them because looking up information is simply too much work for them. So they become useful idiots to the brainwashers. 😂
I live in Australia. Japan was the only country that invaded Australia in history. China never invaded Australia but it was Australian army who invaded China in 1900 as part of the English army. Now China is the largest trading partner of Australia and always show its friendliness to Australia. However, Australians seem have no issue with Japan and even be very friendly but always see China as their biggest threat and preparing war with China. There must be something wrong in Australian's education system or the information spread throughout the country. Who is doing that and why? What's their purpose to twist Australian's cognition? Australian and westerners are very proud of what they called critical thinking but I don't see any thing like that here in Australia.
I agree (except that we always need to acknowledge the British invasion and its' egregious effects on the Aboriginal population), we are being brainwashed so that we can be used by the US in their planned war with China. It has been a scarily successful campaign. I hope that more people will wake up to what they have planned. (See the late Australian journalist John Pilger's "The Coming War with China" available free on his website last time I checked).
I'm ethnic Chinese. I'm used to being d object of hate. It don't really bother me. I'm proud of my race. A gifted race. What bothers me is a Chinese person hating himself and his culture because he's totally swallowed d western narrative.
Yes the likes of Gordon Chang, a so call China expert who has predicted China's downfall since China was a poor. What a fall, from a 3rd world poverty stricken banana state to the number one economy of the world in PPP terms since 2014. And he's still revered because he says the "right" things.
China is making its efforts now come to light!!! Even if China stopped doing anything right now for 50 yrs the west would still struggle to catch up with what China has achieved technologically!! the3 gorges dam! the greenification ofthe desert! wil benefit China for the future howlong would it take for the west to criss cross their own country with HSR for example!! certainly its taken the UK 50+ yrs just talking about it!
Because, obviously, those lovers are blinded by love. True love makes one so truly blinded as thinking Japan dumping radioactive waste into the sea is a service to humanity and environment! Can’t beat true love 😂
yup and china being petty and evil by not letting japan do so.. or the nanjing massacre is in the past china should just forget about it and move on like the rest of the west with germany and nazis
On that same note, I once had a former co-worker ask me with a serious face if Japan was a part of China. I didn’t want to answer him without making him look extremely foolish. But I answered “no” after a few seconds of hesitation. 🤦🏻♂️ (I’m from the US by the way. 😣)
Hi Andy, another great commentary about the reality of China as always. I have actually seen that Beijing subway video being mistaken as Japan a while ago. The funny thing I saw was that once all these Westerners found out that the video was actually about China and not Japan, the comment section immediately switched from how civilized Japan was to how the Chinese are lining up like robots and they must not have personal freedom at all.😂
But they never talk about how Japan invaded and destroyed China, after what China did for Japan for over a thousand years, taught it just about everything to help it improve from the stone age into a civilization, but Japan pays back China in the most horrible way possible.
It’s called gaslighting, euphemising Japan and demonizing China, even though it is the same exact thing. If it’s Japan, the cup is half full. If it’s China, the cup is half empty. It’s all about using positive and negative story spinning using euphemistic or derogatory words…..
⚠️ANDY!!!! it would be great if you looked into the MSG vs Umami issue! For decades MSG has been pushed as a Chinese thing (when it was a Japanese invention and their product), it has been used since then to bring down Chinese cuisine, and all Chinese Restaurants in most of Western countries and other countries must put signs saying "NO MSG", while other restaurants don't need to. Meanwhile Japan and the West have been pushing the new "flavour" UMAMI, which is nothing but all our body detecting the Glutamic Acid (the MSG is actually a combination of the Glutamic Acid with a salt in order to be able to produce it in a solid sellable form to add to the dishes)!!! It is obvious how western mainstream media, press, tv, etc are pushing that new concept/word UMAMI, praising and glorifying it, and always mentioning it's a Japanese thing (as if it had never existed in History, we simply hadn't identified it yet)! And it is SCANDALOUS how after decades STILL today we hear how horrible and dangerous MSG is and how it is some kind of a horrible CHINESE thing that only Chinese use etc I've been sick of this for years, but now after this "Umami Hipocrisy" i can't take it anymore! Could you please look into it and inform people about it. Most still don't know anything! Thank you🙏
Also, Japan trying to monopolise the MSG trade... as i was inveatigating into the issue (i'm planning to start a blog+YT channel on Chinese gastronomic culture) i found several documents in the EU where Japanese companies where applying for the ban of Chinese-produced MSG.
What UMAMI?? The people in the West are such silly hypocrites! We in the East have known this Japanese AJINAMOTO since we were kids!!!! Really goes to show Western people have little grey matter!
@@ireneserrano4570 Those "cool new concepts" the Western MSM pushes, but written in Romanized Japanese, were probably Chinese culture things all along. That’s been a trend in recent years. You’ve discovered "umami," but oh boy, I can give you a huge list of Japanese-rebranded Chinese concepts-it’s ALL ON WIKIPEDIA.
That’s absolutely true. Japan also admits that too. 😅 Japan even used Chinese Sun Wukong story to write games and made lots of money 💰 Many western games players thought it was japan story because japan didn’t tell them. Until Black Myth Wukong game came out, everyone was shocked to realize that japan used Chinese ancient story to write games and makes lots of money 😂
The Empire likes elevating its vassals onto a pedestal to illustrate not only its benevolence, but also its moral and intellectual superiority. In the 20th century, Britain used to elevate Hong Kong to demonstrate its superiority over China. Now the US does this with Japan, South Korea, etc etc.
*Exactly* *this* I would add “cultural superiority” into the mix as well. The reason many Westerners view Japan and South Korea as “near equals” and the “good Asians” is because they imitate Western-style “values” like “democracy” and “human rights” and “freedom of press.” (things the West likes to boast and preach about but doesn’t actually practice except when convenient.) This is why Westerners, especially Americans, who don’t know where Ukraine is on a map, and had never heard about the country before until 2022, suddenly started unquestioningly supporting Ukraine. Because they were told Ukraine was a freedom-loving democratic nation with freedom of press and LGBTQ rights, fighting against the backward conservatives authoritarian Russia. Thus the Ukranians became the “good Slavs” and the Russians remained the “bad Slavs.”
That’s exactly correct and true. Just like the west ( we know it means usa and u k) wants to scare investors away from China and tear apart China’s supply-chain. They elevate and promote india and vietnam as a better place for investors and manufacturing companies than China 🇨🇳 . Their prop& agenda keep promoting these two countries are good in everything, and will be replace China as world factory and supply-chains. But we can see that their efforts have failed and how disappointed they are when those two countries don’t turn out as the west promote. It’s just too funny 😂
Yes the Empire tries so hard to elevate and promote India and Vietnam to replace China to be the world supply chain even though we all know that is impossible. They have been scaremongering about China to prevent investors to stay away from China, but so far the Empire is not succeeding. Too funny 😂
The Empire has made india and Vietnam so happy and so proud of themselves. It’s because the empire has been working so hard to promote and elevate these two countries to replace China for world supply chains. We all know that they can’t replace China. It’s so satisfying to see the empire cannot succeed so far. 😂
If US continues to decline faster, Japan would hit US harder than anyone else. The leash has been too tight, and the Japanese imperialist has been acting like US servants for too long.
The bizarre difference in attitude with Westerners towards Japan and China remains insane to me as a person who lives in the West. History aside, which many here in the West conveniently forget or absolutely know nothing about demonstrably(which is ironic here since the Japanese enslaved the Chinese, although Westerners pretend as if this history doesn't exist), both countries reside in the exact same region with other Asian countries geographically. They're all related to each other as people. The false choices between any of these nations in those regions is completely arbitrary. Japan has no sovereignty. The same with South Korea, as many are now finding out, among others on the continent who are used as client and vassal states. The West desires to destroy Asia with endless color revolutions, coups, sanctions, false flags, terrorist uprisings, proxies, and endless propaganda. Where China and all these countries should all be as one, working together, as China, as many have mentioned here, is the most sovereign country, these divisions occur due to Western interference. So the West must keep up the lies to their own citizenry in promotion of balkanization in all of Asia, while heightening tensions domestically so it grants consent for their masters' endless wars, coups, sanctions, and color revolutions. Suddenly, Taiwan is a country, Hong Kong is a country, South Korea is staging "martial law," and various other nations like Japan, Thailand and the Phillipines all need Western military installations and weapons to "defend" themselves against their own family in China. It's a disgrace.
I am a secondary generation Chinese Malaysian. I have studied and lived for many years in Australia, Uk and New Zealand. I have always presented myself as Chinese and keep my Chinese name given to me by my parents. I also practise my Chinese custom and tradition. I speak Mandarin, other Chinese dialects, English and Bahasa Malaysia. I am proud to be Chinese and always will be one till the day I died. Nothing can change that.
Same here but we cannot deny that there are still many being brainwashed deeply. Chinese whether from Mainland, Taiwan, SARs or oversea Chinese need to be more confident of ourselves and be proud of our cultures which nurture and form Chinese achievement today and in future
@@VanillaPeach-y7l have visited both China (Ningbo, 2023 & Shanghai, 2024) & Japan (Tokyo, 2016). China has overtaken Japan when it comes to technology
There should be a concerted effort to get those weebs and gaijins seethe at the fact that the purported "things about Japan" they love are, in fact, actually happening in China lol
Yeah, and there is plenty of European and other Westerners videos about their travel to USA and they are shocked at the reality of what they see and not what is portrayed on USA TV shows and movies.
I agree with most of what is said in this video, with two qualifications: (1) China really isn't "stubborn": it is simply pursuing its own path to economic development to serve its large population which until recently was very poor. Its economic rise, unfortunately, threatens our country (the U.S.) which exacts heavy penalties and tariffs on China to block its development. Unlike Japan or South Korea, China can push back, which looks "stubborn" to an unsympathetic Western press. This brings us to (2) Actually, the Western media became very negative about Japan during the 1980s when it appeared that it would overtake the US on the back of high-quality cars, electronics, etc. Only when Japan caved to US demands regarding its currency and instituting export constraints, and when Japan's bubble burst and went into more or less permanent decline, did the media once again produce positive images of the country. In a word, we are able to praise Japan because we are no longer threatened by it. It lacks autonomy, is occupied, and is now defeated economically as well.
China's economic and technological development threatens only US World Domination not the Rest of the World. It does not even threaten US the Country. When you are pursuing Absolute Security you are also pursuing Absolute Insecurity for the Rest of the World. Hence all the Hypocrisy US can threaten n invade and coup whoever they want but others can't be allowed to do it. When your mentality, culture and values are all either I win or you lose there is nothing else to be discussed.
This at least is an honest (I hope, but maybe not?) mistake by a westerner who doesn't know any better. In comparison, the concerted effort by some s koreans to claim everything good from China as their own, and then accusing China of being the copycat, is 100x more vile and disgusting.
I'm glad someone discovered the south korean conspiracy. Even Japan is not as shameless as South Korea. At least Japan admits that its culture comes from China.
The Chinese Emperor of the Sui Dynasty hosted a banquet in honor of the Japanese envoy Umeko Ono. He saw chopsticks for the first time, later learned to use them and brought them back to Japan.
Interesting report Andy, thank you. I have much respect for China, it’s governance model, it’s peoples and importantly it’s demonstration of TRUE SOVEREIGNTY!
Why is Japan still hanging on to its Imperial notion that Japan us still the owner of Taiwan and other Chinese island territories? Has Japan already forgotten its belligerent war criminal past
nah, they have completely given up that notion, after all they voluntarily gave it up to the chinese after WW2. They know the island have always been chinese, they just got it when the Qing dynasty ceded it to them having lost the First Sino-Japanese War.
Japanese never admit their war crimes, crimes against humanity, and crimes against peace. Japanese never apologize for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and crimes against peace in WWII and its prior years. Japanese keep all their imperial military artifacts in Japan as national heritage. Japanese are very resentful that the Americans stopped their slash-and-burn conquest in Asia to join the Nazis. The modern image of Japan is a facade created by the Americans for their global imperial hegemony ambition. The Americans need Japanese to be a barking dog in Asia to do their bidding.
@@davidfirmino3829 if what you said is true then why is Japan stating both publicly and privately that it will be more than willing to "defend " Taiwan from an "invasion" by China when both historically and legally Taiwan is a part of China which has both the historically and legally justified right to recovery of its stolen territories?
@colinlee9678 Japan does not claim Taiwan as Japanese territory, that's a fact. Unfortunately Japan is a US client state, what Japan means is that it will support the US to " defend " US interests. US is at this moment building more military infrastructure in Japan and Philippines to possibly attack China.
I am much amused by the before and after posts of some halfwit called Jordon - the fawning comment about what he thought was Japan contrasted with the abusive angry response when he realised that not only was he hoaxed, but he was actually praising China! It’s hilarious 😂
It's obviously because those people think Japan is so perfect and the most respected country in the world that they didn't read it's war crimes in world war 2 and it dumps nukes in sea.
WW2 was a while ago and Japan didn't dump nukes in the sea, it was diluted by a lot. The real problems of Japan are xenophobia, exclusion, crazy rules.
That was truly hilarious to witness. I saw some people saying the Chinese were buying the game as some _patriotic act_ to prop up their games industry and country's image, neglecting to mention the value of the game's story, or its actual quality, and ignoring the large market that exists in China, and elsewhere, for a well-made Chinese video game.
I've noticed something over the past years. When videos are posted showing China in a positive manners they get minimum views but videos in negative manners get million views.
Have you heard of a Chinese expression "Using the skin of my buttock to paste it on as the skin of your face"? I heard not exactly in Chinese but in Cantonese, from a flustered person. This is interesting as I am Chinese and I can't really explain the exact meaning because I don't use this expression. But roughly it means using the achievement of someone else to pass it off as your own. For example, the video you shared here.😂
I would love to visit China. It has it all: a modern society, a very old ,interesting culture and beautiful landscapes. Unfortunately I started learning Mandarin just half a year ago and for me it is important to have at least some basic knowledge of their language before I travel to a foreign country.. China has been wronged so many times during the last decades and I really appreciate they nevertheless allow people from Europe to travel there even without visa.
As a Chinese, my advice to you on learning Mandarin is: "Don't focus too much on grammar, just remember a certain amount of Chinese characters first. Chinese grammar is not important." But when I was learning English, grammar made me miserable.
中文很难. You need all the tools: OCR, popup dictionary extensions, deepl/qtranslate clipboard translate to find chinese content on youtube, subtitle finder, characterizer, voice recognition (chrome + virtual audio driver).
Years ago there was this video of a cute little girl taking the subway on her own and everybody was gushing about how civilised Japan is. Then the mother, Chinese, got mad and started dressing her in hanfu and such with video comments such as "My daughter is a proud han!!!" It was hilarious.
RUclips also promotes anything and everything which has even a single Japanese letter in the title, though the video may have no connection to Japan. Here in Finland our grey is grey and blue is blue but somehow in Japan grey become blue and blue becomes grey and RUclips algorithm goes crazy over it.
@@ireneserrano4570 How kind of you! It was actually not my intention to direct traffic to my humble channel. Just enjoy living in this country and my every dive into Beijings water. See you!
@pekingerleben I love China, i lived in Qingdao for 4 years! So i'm very interested to follow all China-related channels! Thank you foe uploading your videos of Beijing! 春节快到了，好好过年吧！🤗
Japan is like a nation that does not have a voice on the international stage. A quiet, compliant man in a very starchy suit. I think it's stems from being territory occupied by the United States since World War II. 15 military bases a turnover of over 55,000 soldiers currently station throughout Japan. A country without a voice or a silent objection, they exist as a nation.
Similar to what is happening in the South China Sea… China in the South China Sea. Philippines reaction 👉 😠🤬😡 Japan, US, Korea, and other US puppets in the South China Sea 👉 🥰😍😘 🎉👏 Even in the Philippines, Filipinos praise Japan, Korea, etc and they think the government is solving their problems very fast… 🤣
When China was funding and building their gigantic movie studios, guess what happened next ? K-pop and K-drama started appearing in mainstream culture.. coincident ? I don't think so, the intelligence agencies in U.S. understand movies/drama can influence the perception of people, they don't want the " China evil/dystopian " narrative to degrade... K-pop/K-drama have a lot to thank the CIA for...
Entertainment industries are also for propagandas, but the truth won’t fade. China is open for foreigners to visit and it’s not that difficult, even with so many travel videos about China, people can form their own ideas already rather that what the media told them.
Andy, u hit d nail on its head! I hv been noticing a deliberate trend lately that anything positive in China is being claimed as from Japan. But u don't fool Asians that easily as we r capable of discerning differences between different Asian countries even some v subtle ones such certain clothing styles, cultural /traditional practices, architecture, etc.
I both like China and Japan, i must say, these people definitely blind on geography. If they know more about Japan, they wouldn't even want overpraising the country. Those that hating China while loving Japan, i have a feeling half of them is self claimed proud Weeb, which Weeb on its original meaning is non-japanese that love anything about Japan and pretending to be japanese. even some of them i met is fanaticaly love Japan to death.
Many are funded troll accounts by the Japanese class A criminal right winged government trying to do image makeover after WWII, trying to continuously slander China while self bragging about Japan…..
Since ancient time, the main goal of Chinese education has been moral development and character building, and the primary function of the government is to educate its citizen to be a proper human being, a gentleman. Learning skills and arts, etc follow after this, otherwise, whatever talents or skills etc acquired would be not only wasteful but dangerous. Among characters to be developed, to be cultivated, aside from various morality, some very obvious are hardworking, resilience, thriftiness( one may know, very much link to our modern ecological consciousness). When the West met East, I think, such traits struct terror in the West heart, since then, the West has made it a point to downgrade the Chinese. With its military superiority, we know what happened in what the west called "China's century of humiliation". They tried every means to dehumanize the Chinese. The condition at the time of multitude Chinese pitting hunger against human dignity. There are even the various Chinese exclusion acts in USA, Canada, Philippines etc denying them the right to earn simple livelihoods. Now that China has finally starting to come around, the West still refuse to acknowledge the Chinese glorious human dignity handed down by the thousands years of honing by its wise ancestors! Nowadays, It's hilarious how good products are advertised as made in Japan, when one can see all Chinese characters and even the place being in China😅
Its more complex than that, China's improvement was helped by Western inventions, some Westerners also provided relief to Chinese famines. However the West interventions in taiping rebellion, opium wars, corruption of officials, invasions, inflaming the civil war, was pretty negative.
Not only mainland China..... Still remember when the movie Departed won Oscar, it was credited as an adaptation of a japanese movie Infernal Affairs..... which was in fact a Hong Kong movie...so everything good done by East Asians must come from Japan 😅😂
So true. I have a lot of “Japan fanboys” friends who still think Japan today is somehow still in its prime from the 90s, where in reality the country has been in stagnation for 30+ years and still chewing on its “leftover glow stock” from its heydays. On another note, the US actually had a brief period of anti Japanese sentiment back in the 80s when the Japanese economy was edging closer to that of the US, and Japanese cars were just started to coming to the US. people and the media hated this fact, lot of news media even covered stories of people smashing Toyotas in public, and Nissan was pressured to change its name to Datsun, and made in Japan was seen as a threat. In summary, as long as the West sees you as a subservient of their interests, you will be left alone and praised, by the minute they feel any bit of “threat” to their dominance, then all gloves are off, you will be bashed to no end. So insecure and pathetic in my opinion
This “keep the US populace ignorant” policy of the USA media and leaders is achieving EXACTLY what it was intended for. Anyway the Americans are supremely ignorant of ANY country outside of the US. Their world evolve around the state (or area) that they find themselves in. Very provincial in mindset and exposure.
OMG!!!! YES!! I have been calling this out on my social channels but finally someone else has noticed this too!!!!!! My eyes roll whenever I see this “Japan is living in 2050” when using China clips!
The same thing happens in videos of good looking boys and girls on yt and Tiktok. They are frequently and deliberately passed off as S. Korean. And the people in the comment section go crazy about Korean 😆
Reminds me of this clip of some strangers on the street helping out after an accident occured. All the comments were full of praise for Japan and how kind and civilized the Japanese are. I pointed out its actually China and not Japan and one can easily tell by which side of the road they're driving in. Their attitude immediately changed and saying it must be some kind of propaganda staged video by the CCP 🙄
Japan's economy had been stagnant from 1994 to today, or for about 30 years. GDP of Japan in 1994: $4.99 trillion GDP of China in 1994: $0.564 trillion GDP of Japan in 2024: $4.070 trillion GDP of China in 2024: $18.24 trillion Japan's GDP went down: 0.226 X in the past 30 years. ↓ China's GDP went up 31.34 X in the past 30 years. ↑
Imagine that the Chinese design the cybertruck. LOL. You will sure wont get comment like, " it is so futuristic " Brilliant design, so far ahead of its time". LOL
In the first clip, if only those people care to read what's literally on the signboard, they would have reliased it was China. The signboard even has roman letters written on it lol.
This is not a Japan or Korea problem because this is not a Japanese act of plagiarism. This is just western ignorance and inability to discriminate the difference
It's always funny to see a Chinese word/sentence on a video labeled as Japanese and people are praising Japan for being so cool without knowing it's China all along
I have been Japan many times, visited Tokyo, Kyoto, Sapporo and several other cities. I must say that Japan is clean, food is good, people are also courteous and tried to help visitors as much as they could. They have very good work ethics. The only complaint is prices are expensive. My first visit to China was in 1980, when the country opened up. Then starting 2004 to 2018, I visited China almost once every three years. The development has been astounding, from underdeveloped to a super modern state. Its current status can compare much better than the West. The bottom line is that those who used China videos to market Japan, are simply too LAZY!
but the real joke is, Westerners can't tell the difference of a Japan vs. Korea vs. China environment & culture & language i feel like most Asians can tell the difference right away, but they think it all just looks the same can't wait to travel to Beijing, Japan lmao thank you for making this video 🙏🙏
almost everything traditional in japan is an offshoot of china, minus some unique aspects. Some things are identical. If they like their architecture they are somewhat giving praise to the original creator. Haters don't know it but they are.

Confirmation bias by the West?
Western original racial prejudice against the Chinese (a'la The Yellow Peril) because the Chinese refuse to bow down in submission to the West and want to be independent and truly free to lead their own lives and future?
The US is constantly fearmongering about the 'China Threat' . " What exactly is the China Threat ? The China Threat is China's existence. The US will not tolerate the existence of a state that cannot be intimidated , that does not follow US orders but pursues its own course." Noam Chomsky.
It’s the same lie they said that they are the beacon of freedom, democracy and human rights, but in fact they are none of these at all. That is how they distort the world
The answer is simple, Japan is viewed as being conquered by the West, while China is viewed as the one that may potentially conquering the West. Historically it shows the same thing, even the Mongols and the Manchurians who have ruled China for a period, they became part of the Chinese Culture and part of China, not the other way around. Japanese culture are heavily influenced by Chinese culture, their Kanji is basically Chinese writings.
They hate China for being strong. They love Japan because Japan is now weak.
Divide and conquer...
I still remember that video of an airport in China which you shared with the employees holding a cushion to soften the baggage landing on the conveyor and all those people thinking it was in japan. Its very annoying to always see people thinking everything good is only japan and nowhere else!
I remember that one! I should have included it in today's video...
It's just that japan has been more accessible to westerners. Wheras china has been demonised because of its politics.

I live in Australia. Japan was the only country that invaded Australia in history. China never invaded Australia but it was Australian army who invaded China in 1900 as part of the English army.
Now China is the largest trading partner of Australia and always show its friendliness to Australia. However, Australians seem have no issue with Japan and even be very friendly but always see China as their biggest threat and preparing war with China. There must be something wrong in Australian's education system or the information spread throughout the country. Who is doing that and why? What's their purpose to twist Australian's cognition? Australian and westerners are very proud of what they called critical thinking but I don't see any thing like that here in Australia.
Don't talk bullshit they bombed darwin they did not invade or even try. Don't spread bullshit.
But Anglos _did_ invade Australia back when it was still inhabited by the native Aborigines.

I agree (except that we always need to acknowledge the British invasion and its' egregious effects on the Aboriginal population), we are being brainwashed so that we can be used by the US in their planned war with China. It has been a scarily successful campaign. I hope that more people will wake up to what they have planned. (See the late Australian journalist John Pilger's "The Coming War with China" available free on his website last time I checked).

Hi Andy, another great commentary about the reality of China as always. I have actually seen that Beijing subway video being mistaken as Japan a while ago. The funny thing I saw was that once all these Westerners found out that the video was actually about China and not Japan, the comment section immediately switched from how civilized Japan was to how the Chinese are lining up like robots and they must not have personal freedom at all.😂
And how Chinese copied Japanese using chopsticks, writing Kanji, eat noodles and gaozi, build temples....😂

⚠️ANDY!!!!
it would be great if you looked into the MSG vs Umami issue! For decades MSG has been pushed as a Chinese thing (when it was a Japanese invention and their product), it has been used since then to bring down Chinese cuisine, and all Chinese Restaurants in most of Western countries and other countries must put signs saying "NO MSG", while other restaurants don't need to.
Meanwhile Japan and the West have been pushing the new "flavour" UMAMI, which is nothing but all our body detecting the Glutamic Acid (the MSG is actually a combination of the Glutamic Acid with a salt in order to be able to produce it in a solid sellable form to add to the dishes)!!!
It is obvious how western mainstream media, press, tv, etc are pushing that new concept/word UMAMI, praising and glorifying it, and always mentioning it's a Japanese thing (as if it had never existed in History, we simply hadn't identified it yet)!
And it is SCANDALOUS how after decades STILL today we hear how horrible and dangerous MSG is and how it is some kind of a horrible CHINESE thing that only Chinese use etc
I've been sick of this for years, but now after this "Umami Hipocrisy" i can't take it anymore!
Could you please look into it and inform people about it. Most still don't know anything!
Thank you🙏
Also, Japan trying to monopolise the MSG trade... as i was inveatigating into the issue (i'm planning to start a blog+YT channel on Chinese gastronomic culture) i found several documents in the EU where Japanese companies where applying for the ban of Chinese-produced MSG.
What UMAMI?? The people in the West are such silly hypocrites! We in the East have known this Japanese AJINAMOTO since we were kids!!!! Really goes to show Western people have little grey matter!

just like how there's "honorary white" in apartheid South Africa, Japan and SK is "honorary White" as good sample of western system
The Empire likes elevating its vassals onto a pedestal to illustrate not only its benevolence, but also its moral and intellectual superiority. In the 20th century, Britain used to elevate Hong Kong to demonstrate its superiority over China. Now the US does this with Japan, South Korea, etc etc.
*Exactly* *this*
I would add “cultural superiority” into the mix as well.
The reason many Westerners view Japan and South Korea as “near equals” and the “good Asians” is because they imitate Western-style “values” like “democracy” and “human rights” and “freedom of press.” (things the West likes to boast and preach about but doesn’t actually practice except when convenient.)
This is why Westerners, especially Americans, who don’t know where Ukraine is on a map, and had never heard about the country before until 2022, suddenly started unquestioningly supporting Ukraine. Because they were told Ukraine was a freedom-loving democratic nation with freedom of press and LGBTQ rights, fighting against the backward conservatives authoritarian Russia.
Thus the Ukranians became the “good Slavs” and the Russians remained the “bad Slavs.”
That’s exactly correct and true. Just like the west ( we know it means usa and u k) wants to scare investors away from China and tear apart China’s supply-chain. They elevate and promote india and vietnam as a better place for investors and manufacturing companies than China 🇨🇳 . Their prop& agenda keep promoting these two countries are good in everything, and will be replace China as world factory and supply-chains. But we can see that their efforts have failed and how disappointed they are when those two countries don’t turn out as the west promote. It’s just too funny 😂
Yes the Empire tries so hard to elevate and promote India and Vietnam to replace China to be the world supply chain even though we all know that is impossible. They have been scaremongering about China to prevent investors to stay away from China, but so far the Empire is not succeeding. Too funny 😂
The Empire has made india and Vietnam so happy and so proud of themselves. It’s because the empire has been working so hard to promote and elevate these two countries to replace China for world supply chains. We all know that they can’t replace China. It’s so satisfying to see the empire cannot succeed so far. 😂
If US continues to decline faster, Japan would hit US harder than anyone else. The leash has been too tight, and the Japanese imperialist has been acting like US servants for too long.
The bizarre difference in attitude with Westerners towards Japan and China remains insane to me as a person who lives in the West.
History aside, which many here in the West conveniently forget or absolutely know nothing about demonstrably(which is ironic here since the Japanese enslaved the Chinese, although Westerners pretend as if this history doesn't exist), both countries reside in the exact same region with other Asian countries geographically. They're all related to each other as people. The false choices between any of these nations in those regions is completely arbitrary.
Japan has no sovereignty. The same with South Korea, as many are now finding out, among others on the continent who are used as client and vassal states. The West desires to destroy Asia with endless color revolutions, coups, sanctions, false flags, terrorist uprisings, proxies, and endless propaganda. Where China and all these countries should all be as one, working together, as China, as many have mentioned here, is the most sovereign country, these divisions occur due to Western interference.
So the West must keep up the lies to their own citizenry in promotion of balkanization in all of Asia, while heightening tensions domestically so it grants consent for their masters' endless wars, coups, sanctions, and color revolutions. Suddenly, Taiwan is a country, Hong Kong is a country, South Korea is staging "martial law," and various other nations like Japan, Thailand and the Phillipines all need Western military installations and weapons to "defend" themselves against their own family in China. It's a disgrace.
No one give an f bro, and no one will suddenly like china just because xi pong ping starts a propaganda channel on yt with one huaite munkie

Even better if people actually went there. And not consume the media blindly.
Interesting fact: Spending a weekend in China is becoming popular among Koreans, and Shanghai is almost “occupied” by Koreans.
I agree with most of what is said in this video, with two qualifications: (1) China really isn't "stubborn": it is simply pursuing its own path to economic development to serve its large population which until recently was very poor. Its economic rise, unfortunately, threatens our country (the U.S.) which exacts heavy penalties and tariffs on China to block its development. Unlike Japan or South Korea, China can push back, which looks "stubborn" to an unsympathetic Western press. This brings us to (2) Actually, the Western media became very negative about Japan during the 1980s when it appeared that it would overtake the US on the back of high-quality cars, electronics, etc. Only when Japan caved to US demands regarding its currency and instituting export constraints, and when Japan's bubble burst and went into more or less permanent decline, did the media once again produce positive images of the country.
In a word, we are able to praise Japan because we are no longer threatened by it. It lacks autonomy, is occupied, and is now defeated economically as well.
Meanwhile, Uncle Sam is pretending to be virtuous, benevolent & champion of freedom and democracy.
China's economic and technological development threatens only US World Domination not the Rest of the World. It does not even threaten US the Country. When you are pursuing Absolute Security you are also pursuing Absolute Insecurity for the Rest of the World. Hence all the Hypocrisy US can threaten n invade and coup whoever they want but others can't be allowed to do it. When your mentality, culture and values are all either I win or you lose there is nothing else to be discussed.
This at least is an honest (I hope, but maybe not?) mistake by a westerner who doesn't know any better. In comparison, the concerted effort by some s koreans to claim everything good from China as their own, and then accusing China of being the copycat, is 100x more vile and disgusting.
I'm glad someone discovered the south korean conspiracy.
Even Japan is not as shameless as South Korea. At least Japan admits that its culture comes from China.
Yup they got no shame at all.
The Chinese Emperor of the Sui Dynasty hosted a banquet in honor of the Japanese envoy Umeko Ono. He saw chopsticks for the first time, later learned to use them and brought them back to Japan.

Why is Japan still hanging on to its Imperial notion that Japan us still the owner of Taiwan and other Chinese island territories? Has Japan already forgotten its belligerent war criminal past
nah, they have completely given up that notion, after all they voluntarily gave it up to the chinese after WW2.
They know the island have always been chinese, they just got it when the Qing dynasty ceded it to them having lost the First Sino-Japanese War.
Japanese never admit their war crimes, crimes against humanity, and crimes against peace. Japanese never apologize for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and crimes against peace in WWII and its prior years.
Japanese keep all their imperial military artifacts in Japan as national heritage. Japanese are very resentful that the Americans stopped their slash-and-burn conquest in Asia to join the Nazis.
The modern image of Japan is a facade created by the Americans for their global imperial hegemony ambition. The Americans need Japanese to be a barking dog in Asia to do their bidding.

Since ancient time, the main goal of Chinese education has been moral development and character building, and the primary function of the government is to educate its citizen to be a proper human being, a gentleman. Learning skills and arts, etc follow after this, otherwise, whatever talents or skills etc acquired would be not only wasteful but dangerous. Among characters to be developed, to be cultivated, aside from various morality, some very obvious are hardworking, resilience, thriftiness( one may know, very much link to our modern ecological consciousness). When the West met East, I think, such traits struct terror in the West heart, since then, the West has made it a point to downgrade the Chinese. With its military superiority, we know what happened in what the west called "China's century of humiliation". They tried every means to dehumanize the Chinese. The condition at the time of multitude Chinese pitting hunger against human dignity. There are even the various Chinese exclusion acts in USA, Canada, Philippines etc denying them the right to earn simple livelihoods. Now that China has finally starting to come around, the West still refuse to acknowledge the Chinese glorious human dignity handed down by the thousands years of honing by its wise ancestors! Nowadays, It's hilarious how good products are advertised as made in Japan, when one can see all Chinese characters and even the place being in China😅
Its more complex than that, China's improvement was helped by Western inventions, some Westerners also provided relief to Chinese famines. However the West interventions in taiping rebellion, opium wars, corruption of officials, invasions, inflaming the civil war, was pretty negative.

On another note, the US actually had a brief period of anti Japanese sentiment back in the 80s when the Japanese economy was edging closer to that of the US, and Japanese cars were just started to coming to the US. people and the media hated this fact, lot of news media even covered stories of people smashing Toyotas in public, and Nissan was pressured to change its name to Datsun, and made in Japan was seen as a threat.
In summary, as long as the West sees you as a subservient of their interests, you will be left alone and praised, by the minute they feel any bit of “threat” to their dominance, then all gloves are off, you will be bashed to no end. So insecure and pathetic in my opinion
This “keep the US populace ignorant” policy of the USA media and leaders is achieving EXACTLY what it was intended for. Anyway the Americans are supremely ignorant of ANY country outside of the US. Their world evolve around the state (or area) that they find themselves in. Very provincial in mindset and exposure.
OMG!!!! YES!! I have been calling this out on my social channels but finally someone else has noticed this too!!!!!! My eyes roll whenever I see this “Japan is living in 2050” when using China clips!
The same thing happens in videos of good looking boys and girls on yt and Tiktok. They are frequently and deliberately passed off as S. Korean. And the people in the comment section go crazy about Korean 😆
Great work!! Keep it up!!
Reminds me of this clip of some strangers on the street helping out after an accident occured. All the comments were full of praise for Japan and how kind and civilized the Japanese are. I pointed out its actually China and not Japan and one can easily tell by which side of the road they're driving in. Their attitude immediately changed and saying it must be some kind of propaganda staged video by the CCP 🙄
Don’t need to care about what those western idiots think.
Where
Japan's economy had been stagnant from 1994 to today, or for about 30 years.
GDP of Japan in 1994: $4.99 trillion
GDP of China in 1994: $0.564 trillion
GDP of Japan in 2024: $4.070 trillion
GDP of China in 2024: $18.24 trillion
Japan's GDP went down: 0.226 X in the past 30 years. ↓
China's GDP went up 31.34 X in the past 30 years. ↑
japan is a dying nation; 1/3 of it's people is 65 y/o, or >.
Thank you for the report.
Imagine that the Chinese design the cybertruck. LOL. You will sure wont get comment like, " it is so futuristic " Brilliant design, so far ahead of its time". LOL
Thanks for correcting the mistakes
In the first clip, if only those people care to read what's literally on the signboard, they would have reliased it was China. The signboard even has roman letters written on it lol.
Most western People doesn't even differentiate Chinese from Japan and Korea what more those places 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is not a Japan or Korea problem because this is not a Japanese act of plagiarism. This is just western ignorance and inability to discriminate the difference
Happy new year to Reports for China!
Happy new year!
Japan has been neutered twice
The last ball was removed in 1995.
Well said.
Great info Andy about this subject. Japan is so under the US's thumb they have become a sad and sorry vassel state 😢
It's always funny to see a Chinese word/sentence on a video labeled as Japanese and people are praising Japan for being so cool without knowing it's China all along
I have been Japan many times, visited Tokyo, Kyoto, Sapporo and several other cities. I must say that Japan is clean, food is good, people are also courteous and tried to help visitors as much as they could. They have very good work ethics. The only complaint is prices are expensive. My first visit to China was in 1980, when the country opened up. Then starting 2004 to 2018, I visited China almost once every three years. The development has been astounding, from underdeveloped to a super modern state. Its current status can compare much better than the West. The bottom line is that those who used China videos to market Japan, are simply too LAZY!
Are you still visiting both places
Thank you Mr. Boreham. Great, unbiased and informative clip.
Glad it was helpful!
but the real joke is, Westerners can't tell the difference of a Japan vs. Korea vs. China environment & culture & language
i feel like most Asians can tell the difference right away, but they think it all just looks the same
can't wait to travel to Beijing, Japan lmao
thank you for making this video 🙏🙏
Some may think they can, but very often they can't. I am often mistaken for Japanese by Japanese. And I am Chinese.
The truth always find it's way to daylight. Thank you for your video.
Well said Andy ❤❤
It’s bizarre that people would believe everything they see on the internet without fact check, and it’s already 2025.
almost everything traditional in japan is an offshoot of china, minus some unique aspects. Some things are identical. If they like their architecture they are somewhat giving praise to the original creator. Haters don't know it but they are.
Nowadays ppl are ignorant of real history. All Hollywood history in their heads!
Chinese don't practice seppuku (cutting of belly) or anything remotely so barbaric.
The West is producing good theatre.
