Haha the “grass is always less green on the other side” thing is spot on. That’s the most common way the government conditions their people in east Asia. Even Japan is guilty of it. (lived there for 16 years) I never knew how bad we had it until I moved to the US. Everyone is like “we’re missing out on personal freedoms? oh well, it can’t be as bad as outside of Japan” and no one even dares to do anything about it.

I lived in China from 2010 to 2016, lived in Guangzhou for one year, Shanghai for 5, and traveled all over the country. As a foreigner living there, I only felt I was living in an authoritarian state when I used the internet. People in society are out and about, unafraid, dining, partying, having fun, shopping shopping shopping... it's capitalism on steroids. When I tried to talk to Chinese people about the government, they never seemed afraid to talk, it just didn't interest them. They reminded me of American teenagers-- talking about friends, dating, their social media, pop culture, but no interest in politics. I met people who had lived abroad, and while there, they never bothered to learn about the Tiananmen Square Massacre. It's like they didn't want to know because the truth would be ugly. And they are believers in Tibet and Taiwan being a part of China. They tow the line whole-heartedly.
I loved my China experience, but the internet really was a nightmare. Even unblocked websites would take forever to load. I'd have to click "play" on a 10 minute video and wait 30 minutes for it to load so that it would play with only a few interruptions. Every so often, my VPN would stop working. This especially happened during sensitive anniversaries and when there'd be an international summit. I never knew when I'd be able to use fast and uncensored internet. When I'd visit Hong Kong or Taiwan, it was heavenly. It was like... China with fast, uncensored internet. I literally went to Hong Kong once just for a vacation from the firewall.
And yes, WeChat.... it was so weird when I moved back to the USA and WeChat was no longer necessary. That app is EVERYTHING in China. You can't function without it. Digital life in the USA suddenly seemed so complicated, having to use so many apps to do different things, when in China, I only needed one. Americans don't even know what WeChat is. That is still bizarre for me.
Excluding one, witch is me, I do know about WeChat, since I have a bunch of Chinese friends.
I'm an American here in china,( married a Chinese woman )... I live here now .....I've learned to treat and accept the people here for how they act....they're all emotionally undeveloped, they're like 6th graders...and they dont know it because EVERYONE around them has the same teenage like thinking...its AMAZING!!....there are adults here ,but only CHRONOLOGICALLY they're adults....heres an example,....imagine as an Americanadult,say 30 years old, going to a middle school...you interact with the students ,you talk with them,laugh,joke,etc....but at the end of the day you go home to your wife,to talk to your mother,father,brother...and they ask you,how was IT IN MIDDLE SCHOOL...you say to them,,,fine,THEY ARE ALL JUST KIDS.......that's china....a country filled with teenagers....AND THEY'RE NOT EVEN AWARE OF IT!!!!!......... yeah,yeah CHINAS TECHNOLOGY,,,,,who cares,I'm talking about ITS PEOPLE...THE WAY THEY ARE.........
作为一名中国人,我不觉得天安门事件是屠杀。天安门事件更好的形容词是冲突,因为既有军人死亡,也有民众死亡,不是军人单方面无理由的屠杀,但无论什么原因,这仍然是错误的。我相信在不久的将来,天安门事件会像大跃进、文化大革命一样登上历史教科书。你谈到我们相信西藏和台湾是中国的一部分,这不只是相信,这是事实。你想了解真相,只需要花两分钟时间,看历史上中国的领土变化就好。

@@iliashdz9106 Yet another commenter who doesn't know what "literally" means. It is a word to distinguish between literal and figurative speech when there is ambiguity. "i could eat a horse" means you are hungry. "I could literally eat a horse" means you could, in fact, eat an actual horse.

Regarding the talking animal ban, that one isn't true. Ever heard of Journey to the West? You may know it as Monkey King, but it's China's most famous tale. A tale that features...talking creatures. For the 2008 Summer Olympics, when the mascots were revealed, the Chinese government released cartoons showcasing them where they talked. The mascots, known as the Fuwa, represent, you guessed it...different creatures from China. Kung Fu Panda is also insanely popular in China. The book Alice in Wonderland was banned in one province for putting talking animals at the same level as humans, but that was back in 1931, so before the PRC was a thing.
"Winnie the Pooh is NOT banned in China" and while Disney World has the Hall of Presidents showcasing an animatronic of every president in US history up until the current, Shanghai Disneyland's Hall of Presidents is.... *The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh* (yes, this ride is at the park). Funny thing you mention Avatar in China, in 2019 Endgame took the title of highest grossing movie of all time from Avatar. However in 2021, Avatar was able to re-claim its title because it was re-released in China. Though it's just Disney...beating Disney. The embodiment of the Obama awarding Obama meme

I'm surprised that the social credit score system was not implemented. My psychology professor even showed us a video in class suggesting it was implemented and we held a debate about it. Not to mention all of the memes and general internet commentary on it.
For my knowledge it's kind of implemented locally, or on curtain platforms, like ali, but not centrally. Some people was restricted on using hi speed trains or planes.
Don't belive everything the Internet says , we don't want to go back to the times where if a lie is repeated enough times it becomes the truth
I am pretry sure it is implemented. For example a famous example that comes to mind is that mma fighter that beat the crap out of "traditional chinese martial artists" and got punished through that sistem because of it
I remember something about it being tested on specific minor regions, but was determined to not be ready. So nobody in China has this social credit score... yet.
I've heard serpentza and his friend talking about it, i also thought it had been implemented, it's good to know that it wasn't, Chinese people don't deserve it
Whenever I learn more about China, I realise how lucky we are to live with the freedoms we actually have.
Yeah we all take it for granted here in the US. Now we have people complaining about fatphobia and trying to take away the freedoms we already have.
Australia seems to be trying to beat China when it comes to which country is less free right now.

I had a chance to talk to a TV producer from Japan a few years back. Because of the fact that TV is slowly dying as an entertainment in a traditional sense, one of the ways producing companies in Japan, and I would guess other (East) Asian countries, earn money is by selling IP's and rights to Chinese production companies which then create their own versions of films and series. Guess that's a way of making sure not much foreign stuff comes in.
Unfortunately most of the IPs are ruined when they're sold to Chinese production companies, so bad that fans would rather seen it dies and not revived in such a way.
Dude. Half murican shows are murican versions of other countries IP. EVERY country makes their own versions for locals

As someone who used to live in China I can confirm a few things:
The average person of China is in one of 3 categories:
1. Unaware of the "outside" internet
2. Using a ladder to access the internet (various purposes)
3. Content, they know about the outside but see no need to climb the wall

I’ve been to china and I can say 3 is the best way to describe how chinese people react to the outside world’s internet. Most young people know almost anything about the internet but they seems to do not care, they would use VPN to play games, watching entertainment,… other than that they literally enjoy their own domestic social internet more.
Went to China after 5 years to see my grandparents, and since I’m more aware now, it was quite frustrating that I couldn’t access outside internet. As long as you’ve experienced the internet on the other side, the internet in China was just very weird. Most people in China are actually quite aware that there is a firewall, especially the younger generation, but they don’t care that much about it

The audience was given the word. I asked him what he thought about the Tian An Men massacre... I didn't know where I was until I saw the audience's reaction that I understood where I was, I was at a place where everyone was on the CCP's side... Saw a bunch of facepalming and just shunning in general... That's when I got scared at how big is the CCP's influence

Kept saying “no no no don’t say that!” I wonder if they’re always being watched? He made it sound like he was gonna be dragged away by the government for even having heard me say that.
i mean why would you want that
I have thousands of texts chatting with my friends on WeChat screwing our president or our whole government yet not been caught🤣. Those topics were forbidden for a period of time in the last century, maybe his parents were influenced by that and subconsciously pasted the fear to their little boy.

Just wanted to correct two mistakes regarding the banned things: 1) While Winnie the Pooh is not banned by itself, itis banned when it’s mentioned together with Xi, any searches containing the two names will not return any results on the Chinese internet. 2) Time travel AFAIK is allowed in movies/media as I’ve watched a couple of mainstream Chinese shows/movies with it as a theme.

I used to work for a NZ web host. We were constantly shuffling sites around for our exporter customers, as their node was added to the great firewall because of one social justice site sharing the host IP.
I've lived in China and left in 2019. While some of what you said is correct a couple things stand out as being very wrong. The English wikipedia article of Tiananmen square IS blocked in China. Why? Because the entirety of wikipedia as a website itself is blocked in China.
Another claim that is very wrong is that China doesn't have a social credit system. Yes it absolutely has it. It just hasn't been rolled out in all of China and only about 40% of the Chinese population (Still more than a half billion people) live under some level of the social credit system. It's been active in all big first tier cities and while the rule and point system is different based on local government tuning it's usually a system where everyone scores a 1000 points that can go up to 1400 for good behavior and down to 600 points for bad behavior. I personally had a score of 1138 at the time of leaving China in the city of Shenzhen.

As a chinese who live in Austrlia,I really agree what you talking about the situation, when I was in china, I have to spend a lot of money and time to get tons of different VPN(some time they just don’t work in china) to get something what we should deserved. The wall is not just exist on internet, but in people’s mind, a group of people what we call them “little pinks” would trust everything that their government told them, what ever it is crazy or not. When you trying to tell them the truth, they will refuse to believe and abuse you, judging you and call you traitor, they refuse everything that is different than their education, they are crazy, madness(they will celebrate the US has over 100k people died in Covid-19 plague) . sometime it is so hard to believe we are same species, we live in the same planet, it is so hard for me to tell other guy I come from china.(forgive my broken English, I’m still learning it)

I'm from Australia. My ex-girlfriend is Chinese. She did not like the restrictions either. She is very kind and intelligent, very unique. A good person. Her family is still in China. She used Facebook, but she also had a Chinese version of Facebook too. That's where, about 4 years ago, she showed me the "Winnie the Pooh/Xi Jinping" memes. I first heard of them there.

I am Chinese, and the banned website has no impact on our lives. Because banned websites can find alternatives in China (in addition to pornography, we can also connect to VPNs privately, although this is not legal, as long as we don't use it to do illegal things, the cyber police don't care). It is not legal for us to build a VPN without permission, but a gaming VPN is legal in China, for example, Call of Duty is banned in China, so you can use a game VPN to enter the game (accelerate the specified IP) Of course this is legal in China, it is completely legal to play banned games in China, and there are also many people in China who use Steam, Epic, Xbox, Play Station, Switch..., (but game consoles we generally use Japan, Hong Kong or the United States, because China will ban the store, limited to the host, there is no ban on the website in China)We use the Internet, but we ban some websites (RUclips, tiktok...and some porn sites) So the Chinese network is the same as the world, except that there are firewalls

Something about the June 4th censorship: I play genshin, food fantasy, demon cultivation....something, but they're run by chinese companies and every year, for more than a month before and after June 4th, they disable the change nickname or bio option. The global and guild chats are disabled too, and in food fantasy at least, the mail notifications only show the rewards to claim, no text. On some obscure chinese rpg games, they completely disable the friend and private chat system as well as everything mentioned above, probably because they're from small companies and one June 4th language transgression could get their games removed from downloads.

Read up on the Falun gong cult, they are another faction fighting for power in China. They have aligned themselves with the CIA and they ain't saints. The Tienanmen Square event in China is taught as when the Falun gong cult started an insurrection. You can argue whether or not the Falun gong are the lesser evil, however, labeling the Tienanmen Square event as an outright massacre on innocent students is a bit disingenuous given the massive effort by Western intelligence agencies involvement during the day. Go watch the full uncut video of the Tank Man, he walked away fine here in the States he would have been shot for even approaching law enforcement, or go read BBC's original account of the events and you'll notice the BBC reporters stating the difficulties the Chinese military had as they were constantly being surrounded due to the lack of arms available for them. Overall the event isn't as black and white as our Federally-approved papers ( US Operation: Mocking Bird) tells us.
Lots of this is true, but some stuff here is allowed, such as ASMR videos, movies with time travel, and the Big Bang Theory. All of these are allowed on well known Chinese platforms such as bilibili and movie/tv show platforms like Youku and IQIYI.
Damn the few things they actually should have banned…
"Talking animals are banned"
Kung Fu Panda: "Am I a joke to you?"
Kung Fu Panda was wildly successful in China and the Chinese had an official government meeting to discuss why the U.S. made a better movie about Chinese cultural themes than they had and how they could compete.
That's actually hilarious and slightly sad.
That was back in 2008. Not happening anymore.

Did you know in the Chinese release of Yakuza 0 there is a Chinese assassin who is quite scary and wrinkly but it fits his character and makes his presence more impactful. But in China they make him look like a normal chinese dude and he is voice by a Chinese actor who they based the appearance off. The name of the character is Lao gui

I'd love to read a book about the opinions of the people who lead China. Their philosophy behind their choices.
This extreme censorship feels like fiction in real life!
Just look to at past communist regimes.
There are books out there written by CCP officials that give great insight into their philosophy on government and geopolitics like "The China Dream".
Xi actually has published a book on his governing philosophy. I'm not sure if there is an English translated version, but there might be.
Kraut and Tea has a good video on it. Called "Trumps Biggest Failure"
Xi Jinping wrote a book called "On the Governance of China" that is available in English if you're very curious.

little correction, the social credit system is running right now, and having a low score can prevent you from boarding planes or even highspeed trains.
well they have been testing it in numerous cities but there is no single social credit system
Thats like a bank thing like if you owed money and doesn't have a way to immediately pay back, they'll restrict high-end purchases.

@@chizhang2765 definitely not the same thing.
You have a source? Have you been to China?
Actually many Chinese know about that,but we don’t have the ability to change it.😢
The social credit scoring is being used in china but not throughout. Cities and communities use their own scoring system while the main social credit system is for businesses and private parties. Which are indeed being watched over by the government and encouraged by it, in the hopes that they can adopt this later. Its all link to citizens with link id’s and so forth.
That mood of not caring as long as they can live well is spot on.

I was playing Dota 2 with my Chinese friend that I met at The International and he accidently typed "tanks man" instead of "thanks man" and I haven't heard from him since :/

You are so right about the social credit system . My family lives there no one is ever heard of social credit system
An interesting dichotomy here...Because of the lack of substantive information, the average Chinese is left ignorant of what is going on. Because of the over-abundance of worthless information, the average American is also left ignorant of what is going on.
Factual.
Not just Americans, but Westerners in general.
True
I think finding reliable sources and information should be taught everywhere in America. I was taught that sort of stuff in my high school, but I’m not sure if it’s the same in all other states (I’m on the east coast).
@@officialromanhours It's just not westerners. Filipinos are easily fooled by fake news on tiktok. Some even relying on it as their source of information
There are numerous regional pilot programs active for the social credit system though, it's not like they just gave up on it, it's still happening.
They're playing the long game, just like the seemingly useless bridges they're building around the Hong Kong area that will make complete economic sense when Hong Kong rejoins the mainland.:)
Well, as a Chinese living in Canada right now, I have to say, the life in wall is also colourful. Most of Chinese really don't care about their government because it never change and so many people work for the government. All of them only care about their own life, working hard playing hard. And because there is huge population in China, people gathering together is easy, so there are a lot of clubs and shopping malls in big city like Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Also the problem is too many people😂people love comparing with each other. Many people love traveling to see the different world.

In fact, Google, X, Instagram, etc. can operate in China as long as they comply with Chinese laws, but they are unwilling to comply, so they cannot operate legally. This is the opposite of Tiktok's situation in the United States. Tik fully complies with US laws, but is forced to sell to Americans.

1:05 I like how it says "Freedom is Slavery" as a reference to George Orwell's 1984.
Thank you for actually presenting factual information about Chinese censorship. There is so much baggage behind it, yet no one wants to look at it seriously without checking their biases. I see a lot of Chinese nationalists defend literally anything their government does, and a lot of sinophobic westerners exaggerate/invent things that don't actually exist. It's kind of difficult seeing someone talk objectively like this on the internet. So thank you so much. ~ A former Chinese citizen
people dont just defend the ccp for no reason, there are videos with a lot of evidence debunking anti-china arguments such as the uyghur situation, many people saw those videos and changed their stance, you dont see those videos becuz yt now censored most of them, especially the really good ones

Chinese here. Mostly true. But VPN is way more popular than I thought actually, not very difficult for younger generations to access the international Internet.
The VPN I use now is built by Chinese and costs ¥128 per year for 168GB each month, which is about $18. Affordable for the majority. Accessible in PC and mobile devices.
有一说一,就算用VPN我也不会用多长时间😅大多数时间还是用国内的网络

As a chinese i agree with this.
You know what, when people talk online they do not even dare to put the word 'blood' ,'kill' , 'police' etc in the text, they will simply just put the first letter of the word to represents the actual word, for example, the word 殺(sha) means to kill, and they will only type S to represent the word. Netizens in china always joke about if the government continue to ban whatever word they like, Chinese language will become dots and symbols. coz we have no more Chinese word to use.
You should read 1984. Especially the part about "New Speak". The purpose of New Speak in the book is to make it impossible to conceptualize illegal thoughts. There simply will not exist a word to describe it, and so you will be incapable of conceptualizing it.
That seems to be what the CCP is doing.

Years ago, a client of mine was invited to China for a business deal for his manufacturing company. I told him that before he goes, he should do some research on privacy concerns before going. After finding out that it's highly recommended to take a burner phone and nothing else electronic he then became worried about his patents and intellectual property. I asked him, "Have you already made contact with this Chinese company? Don't worry about it, they stole your product designs within 10 minutes of contacting you."
Yes, we stole thins, so don't come to China

7:03 In the Japanese title Mother 3 that's actually what happens in game, I am guessing they've read about things that happened in China which helped fuel major aspects of their creativity for the game's storyline.

4:18 I have to point out that the Chinese education system requires you to lean one foreign language, and for 99% of people it is English. So basically English is mandatory.
Yes but however most English they taught at school is just basic grammar and how to translate Chinese text into English. They never really teach you how to communicate with a native English speaker or how to read an essay written by actual English speaker. That is the reason why most Chinese people do not have the ability to read the texts written by English speaker.
Consider how useful the average American's high school french or Spanish is once they leave school... That's what English is like for the average Chinese person.
@paprikat.6479 But after we enter University, we will be required to read English papers and take IELTS. However, my spoken English is indeed not as good as those from English-speaking countries.
It is mandatory to learn some of it, but I'm currently studying abroad and let me tell you: no one speaks English. Heck, I live in a student's apartment meant specifically for foreign students and even there the receptionists don't speak English. I had to struggle through the registration process in broken Chinese because their English was worse. The only places where I found people who could speak English were at the airport and inside the university and even then they are hesitant to do so.
Halve of these are just pure fiction
The ending is exactly what is happening in china.i worked and studied 2 years in china and even i got immersed into we chat and their internet sites because i had to, i made my family and friends back home to install we chat so that we could talk because i didnt like the ordeal to go through VPN and the issue with connectivity after joining vpn. Every colleague, friends in china were in we chat so it was natural for me to just adapt. They have their copies of western games to keep them busy, the social sites, memes and even porn are available within wechat groups to have some self time. But they dont really care because you could say they are exactly like americans in a way, they are ignorant of what happens elsewhere beside their own bubble and country and they are never taught to explore beyond their own system, culture and country. They are content and happy. Learning english is a nightmare to them and they only learn 6 to 8 years in their school when its mandatory and completely stop studying further in english and having more than 800 million people online makes it easier to have them entertained foe every single thing. So, socialism or not, restriction or not, they are happy in their own existence because they are just not aware of the foreign ideologies enmass.
Strange how much it does mirror the situation of the general public of the US
@Viktoria_k that's exactly what it is. The isolation in China is created by the government but in terms of US, it's just plain old ignorance and pride of being the center of the universe
So when i got my own life to enjoy, why the hell should i learn ENGLISH and care about things happening on the other side of planet? Dose those news make your life better? increase your salary? pay your food? It is just a way of entertainment, no difference with a cyber game. There are 1.5 billion people 1/5 of the whole human being speaking Chinese, why don't you learn Chinese? Indians are good at English, do they have better life than us?
