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.
This is a sentiment I hear often here in America. Whenever I point out something wrong with our society, the answer is always "Yeah, but have you seen how bad things are everywhere else?"
@@smackerlacker8708 Glad I'm not the only one that noticed. If you criticize any shortcomings of American society you will be told that "it's better than third world countries!" as if that excuses anything.
As someone who has lived in both the US and Japan, my experience is the opposite. I’ve heard all my life growing up in the US from the government and the people about how the US is the greatest country on earth and how other countries pale in comparison. I never knew how bad I had it in the US until I moved to Japan. I learned first hand that the US is absolutely not the greatest country on earth.
@@APNifty there’s an animated series on Newgrounds made by JohnnyUtah called Tankmen. there’s also an unidentified man who was nicknamed Tank Man after he stood in front of some tanks in protest after the Tiananmen Square massacre. the massacre also happened on June 4th, which could very well be someone’s date of birth
All throughout the 2000s, I had a Chinese friend I used to exchange long letters with on an online forum - we'd talk about the arts, and football, and life and its ups and downs... earlier in the 2010s, she suddenly disappeared, and I only later found out the site we were on was banned in China. Too bad we didn't exchange email addresses or anything... I still think about her sometimes, wonder how she's doing. I hope you're doing okay. I miss you.
She probably got ran over since there’s no road laws in China, maybe a piece of a building fell on her since there’s a lot of poor infrastructure in China

> Websites may only partially load This is because some sites choose to serve resources from a common location, such as the JSDelivr CDN, to save on traffic to their own server/whatever serverless construct they're using, like S3 or GH pages. I don't think the chinese would block CDNs that have things such as an authoritative version of JQuery, hence it's most likely a case of heuristic-based blocking instead of a hard BGP block.
apparently its only in certain parts, but they plan on making it nationwide. so essentially there is no social credit until they feel like its ready to take it out of testing
that's bs, you can use the phrase. context is what matters, if you tell someone your birthday is on the 4th of june it's not going to get instantly deleted
Yeah... That never happened. But it is so comforting for insecure Westerners, watching their own slow decline, to believe that all virtue lies only in the West. So perfect! You really think that Chinese can't disagree on movies, restaurants, vacation plans, clothing, music, cars, who takes out the garbage, TV channels? Hatred makes people stupid.
@@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.
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.

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.
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

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.
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.........
I'm pretty sure the "talking animal ban" is complete bs. Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, is certainly not banned in China for being an iconic folktale character, Black Cat Detective is a famous (albeit very propagandistic) cartoon from the early days of Chinese animation, and more recently I remember the show "Pleasant Goat and the Big Big Wolf" being quite popular with the kids in China. Zootopia was officially released in Chinese theaters as well. It's pretty clear to me that there is no ban on talking animals in Chinese media, and I'm not sure where that myth came from.
@USERZ123 See the thing is right, there is a little chance you are a normal chinese citizen because of supposed hassle with VPN and such, then there's even lesser chance that you are an english speaking normal chinese citizen, so yeah
@USERZ123 not disregarding your point and I do think much of western media is pretty clickbait, but chinese media dont rly need to clickbait because (almost) everyone already reads it. And I don't think the content needs to even be discussed.
Also a chinese studio is developing a game called " Black Myth: Wukong" where all characters are animals, and there is no ban on Kung Fu Panda and the movie is pretty famous there.
I’ve lived in china for 6 years (I’m from hk), and very rarely do I see a foreigner on yt with such a good understanding of what it’s like to be in mainland china. Good job on the research.
Wow … As a chinese person i'm surprised how accurate and your content is.And even some content is too localized, it is difficult for foreigners to understand…Thank you for introducing our bad situation to the audience in westworld from a fair and objective perspective
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.

我就是用VPN来到RUclips的中国人，这个视频很客观，讲述的也是事实，放在二十年前，可能有大部分中国人不了解外国，因为当时的科技导致大部分人连互联网都不会用，也导致了他们对国外的了解只能来源于国内媒体，这也导致了他们认为中国一定比外国好。but，现在科技已经很发达了（相比起之前），大多数的中国年轻人都会使用互联网，也有一部分的年轻人出国旅行或留学，都清晰了国外的样子，大家已经不会被政府利用政治手段“欺骗”了。但是也会有一部分人被政治洗脑，以至于仍然对国外的认识不清晰。我们国家政府对人民是做了实事的，限制去外网也是因为有个国家的总统说，要利用媒体舆论来扰乱民心，中国有能力出国的人也没有很多，所以为了应对他国利用媒体的政治战略，不得以的只能用VPN浏览外网了，让那些有能力出国的年轻人去用心体会国外环境。不过即使禁止浏览外网，但是VPN的盛行还是导致一些国外间谍会通过VPN伪装成中国人，在网络上发表一些言论来扰乱民心。走一步看一步，有压迫就有反抗，反抗还没来之前，就先别猜想有压迫。如果真的存在压迫，中国年轻人会站出来的。 （baidu translator） I am the Chinese person who came to RUclips using VPN. This video is very objective and tells the truth. Twenty years ago, most Chinese people may not be familiar with foreign countries because technology at that time made most people not even know how to use the Internet, which also led to their understanding of foreign countries only coming from domestic media. This also led them to believe that China must be better than foreign countries. But now technology has become very advanced (compared to before), and most young people in China use the Internet. There are also some young people who travel or study abroad, and they have a clear understanding of what it looks like abroad. People will no longer be deceived by the government's political means. But there will also be some people who are brainwashed by politics, to the extent that their understanding of foreign countries is still unclear. Our government has done practical things for the people, and restricting access to the internet is also because one country's president said that we should use media and public opinion to disrupt people's hearts. There are not many people in China who have the ability to go abroad, so in order to cope with the political strategy of other countries using media, we can only use VPN to browse the internet and let young people who have the ability to go abroad experience the foreign environment with heart. However, even though browsing the internet is prohibited, the prevalence of VPN still leads to some foreign spies disguising themselves as Chinese through VPN and making comments online to disrupt public opinion. Take a step and see, where there is oppression, there is resistance. Before resistance comes, don't assume there is oppression. If there is really oppression, Chinese young people will stand up.

@@JimboJuice yeah but don’t they go to someone and ask if they would like to be sponsored? I think the only thing the person does is say yes or no and sign some sort of contract right?
That said though, if you _did_ advertise a VPN on this video, it would be "ironic" (to say the least) if it wasn't able to bypass the GFW restrictions. Someone could make the case that it's misleading advertising, in that there's an implication that whatever mentioned service would work in that situation...

One of the strangest things I’ve experienced is a Chinese colleague being afraid to search things on google afraid she would face punishment from her own country somehow. We were in school in Canada at the time.
The CCP are known for hunting "Traitors" even when they are outside the country. It is only natural that she is paranoid. It is called "Operation Fox Hunt".
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
@@jirou6228 That's because Chynah failed to turn us into another Xinjiang or Tibet and therefore their stupid Great Firewall can't do shit. But Vietnam is thankfully trying to distance themselves from the so-called "peacekeepers" that wanted Russia to win the Ukraine invasion, "liberate" Taiwan, Korea, Japan and Vietnam. In retrospect, Vietnam has slightly better civil liberties than Chynah as it is now.
I spoke to a Chinese foreign student once on his first year, he said "democracy sounds great but if it causes so many problems I don't think it's worth it". They know what is happening, but as long as the economy / lifestyle keeps improving most will not act against it
I remember talking to a kid on Fortnite who was in China, he wanted to add me on “WeChat” and when I jokingly said screw the president he got extremely scared. 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 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.
I remember my college writing class, and how the two lovely Chinese exchange students didn’t have a clue what the Tiananmen Square Massacre was. Never heard of it. To say it was difficult to watch them have it explained to them in detail in front of the entire class by fellow classmates and the instructor was… yeah…
It's almost like, no education system is allowed to teach about the countries wrong doing. Where I live we were never meant to learn about all the inhumane things our ancestors did, that caused our "enemies" to retaliate for "no reason" USA also teaches, that they only nuked japan, bc of pearl harbor and not why they were attacked in the first place
There’s nothing else to the story really. The exchange students seemed a bit horrified or perhaps uncomfortable, but the conversation was stopped by the instructor moving on to another topic. I don’t know if one of my classmates ever sat with them and further explained it.
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.

As an actual Chinese ladder user getting to see this video, I’d say it’s 99% true, the last bit is that the connection of Wikipedia site from China kept getting worse since the year 2015, as for now it's impossible for us like reddit or twitter if without a ladder.
My dad was at Tiananmen Square. When we talked about the massacre, he apologized to me and my brother, for failing to earn the freedom that we deserved for us. I still cry every time I think of his face when he was saying that.
I wouldn’t blame him. Westernisation and Liberal Democracy had told people for 100 years that no government would ever cross the line and murder their own citizens. China crossed that line and now wants to cover it up from its current citizens ever knowing about it
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)
Excellent English ! Good comment. Where in Australia do you live ? 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. They weren't banned then. She was sharing these memes with her friends.
I've given up arguing with those little pinks one day sooner or later, they would either realise their stupidity or be suffocated with blissful ignorance
I was learning chinese at a Confucius Institute in Mexico City. We had an author visiting the school, Mai Jia. He was presenting his newest book, which was about espionage. 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
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.
Yeah I don't think he's correct on that, they've been testing and implementing it in Rongcheng, Whezhou, Chengdu and many others for 2 years now, and it's stopped transport of 13 million people. (Wired article, How the West Got Social Credit Wrong, Jan 2020).
@@Михалыч-е2у Well as of now there is no one single social credit system. But local governments have their own interpretations of it in their local regions.

Technically correct is the best kind of correct. Just like the Chinese language, Chinese legislation does not operate based on rules but base on context. The goal of Chinese legislation is not to provide a guideline of operation but to provide a guideline on the desired outcome. Hence many Chinese laws and rules only state the desired result but not the process which to achieve said result or the situation in which the rule is applied. Which is the reason why there is much inconsistency in the examples provided in the video. The video provided a relatively accurate and comprehensive (compare to other videos of similar topic on RUclips) description of the process but only briefly touched on the result of the desired process, and the relevant context which produced such process.
I remember living in China and arguing with one of my coworkers about Tiananmen Square. He had travelled around the world and still loved China's system of doing things, going as far as to say the massacre was justified.
If he doesn’t love the system he had to either hide his thoughts and be dishonest almost all the time or be prepared for jail time. Either way isn’t easy. Many of us just mesmerized ourselves to believe that our system is the best to avoid the struggle.
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.
Yeah, 1984 has either ironically or obviously, depending on your level of cynicism, been incorporated in the very same type of network that Wilson himself stumbled into. A calculated trap and release value built into the structure of the system to account for dissidents within said system.
Talking animals are banned? But I grew up with 熊出没 and 猪猪侠 (when I was in mainland) which one has two talking bear bros and another one pigs who have superpowers.
genuine Chinese here, the conclusion of this video is very interesting as I feel the same while asking people around me about all this GFW thing, but in my perspective I hate the GFW because it separates regular people, it blocks those who are willing to accept each other and are capable of distinguishing what's reasonable and what's nonsense. China is developing in its own way, and misunderstanding is the main reason for conflicts between regular people.
Dont mean to be ignorant but how are you and it seems other chinese people able to comment here? I thought youtube was banned I've been fascinated with contemporary china and the people. I'd love to chat with them personally but cant seem to find any in forums (at least not the ones who just promote the CCP or whatever). What kinda websites can people outside of china like me use to communicate with people from the PRC?
Every country has an internet of their own inside, especially non english speaking ones (english ones are hard to distinguish), the memes are very different and you can see their culture which is a great way to learn their language for context. The firewall separating every country's internet to each other is the language itself, while translators are much better, what it can't translate is context, to know context you need culture. I don't agree with how China is doing the firewall, for me it just separates everyone to Chinese people which fosters ignorance and hate, in my entire life I can count in my fingers real Chinese people living in China that I've talked to. The firewall is ineffective too which makes me wonder why it exist even now, because of VPN, they know you use VPN but they don't know what you use it for, only people who use it are those that can speak English or understand other language which is not a lot. It just seem political to me, both west and china are not really enemies back then (if you exclude the Qing dynasty and the Korean war), USSR and China wasn't the best allies back then, China supported the Mujahideen (seriously look it up, was surprised by it, the Afghan government played a part of it but to support your ally's enemy is definitely betrayal imo). Back to what I was talking about, if you ask any westerner or Chinese if they hate each other (people not government) you will get mixed response due to the fact that both sides has no interaction on a scale to understand each other, their information came from news sites and hearsays from other people, if they say they hate them just ask why and they won't be able to give a reasonable answer. Internet can bring everyone together, that's why I support unregulated use of it, while it can be used by criminals, that's just the downside of it, the upside overwhelms it by a lot, you don't stop something because criminals can use it, you don't stop selling knives because it can be used to stab someone, you can't stop crime without getting to the root of it (it mostly roots down to money and greed).
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.

You have to remember when it comes to our country that we are heavily sanctioned, and our only airline is banned from EU airspace. So we don't have many options. And there are three passport types: regular passport - given to citizens traveling abroad for sports and business trips; only given with special permission official passport - given to trade and other economic bureaucrats diplomatic passport - for top officials of the Workers' Party of Korea both official and diplomatic passports have to be returned to the passport office, and if they want to make another trip, they come retrieve it. All need to apply for an exit visa to legally leave though.
7:40 Xu Xiaodong, the Chinese MMA artist banned from flying and express rail travel would beg to differ. He exposed traditional Kung Fu and other traditional Chinese "martial arts" as being worthless for combat (as they had evolved into choreography), and for that, the CPC fucked him over.
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.
The statement about China's inner-net ecosystem is very accurate. A number of Chinese students I met in college still use Chinese web service (baidu, bilibili, weibo, etc.) even they are physically on the other side of the planet. These Chinese web services don't really help if you are searching for non-Chinese stuff, and the average ping flows between 200~999ms thanks to the school's internet while Google's ping is always below 20ms. In rare cases the Chinese web services get blocked by the school because of reasons, and some Chinese students use the same techniques to get around their GFW to bypass the school's firewall so they can watch anime on bilibili.
baidu, bilibili, weibo, or any chinese webs isn't bad as you thought atleast here in Indonesia. however sometimes the server fucked up for a whole night, the only time i need Chinese VPN is when playing online games with relative in China because they didn't provide server outside china
I've been living in China for nearlly ten years now, and I've never heard about the ban on talking animals. That's kind of stupid because one of their most revered mythological beings, Sun WuKong (孙悟空), is a monkey that talks. The Kung Fu Panda franchise is hugely successful and it's nothing but talking animals. SpongeBob and Paw Patrol are popular with Chinese children, and talking animals isn't warping their minds or anything. It would be a bit hypocritical if they really did enforce the ban.
These people don't think straight, they're so used to anti-East american/imperialist propaganda that they'll believe anything you tell them, China bad.
Maybe it‘s just a wrong interpretation of the saying "Animal are not allowed to become spirits after the Founding of China"(建国之后不许成精）which is a nothing more than a half-meme in China...I wonder how this phrase came to become "a ban on talking animals".

If you're wondering about the phrase "10,000 Years", it's a way to wish someone a long life. In ancient China it was used to wish the emperor, while during the Cultural Revolution it was used to wish Chairman Mao. Nowadays in China, it's just used as an exclamation of joy in general. When Italy scored a goal in the 2006 World Cup's round of 16 against Australia, the Chinese commentator said "Italy ten thousand years!" interpreted as his way of saying "Forza Italia". So it's in no way a negative thing Meanwhile in the DPRK, saying ten-thousand years is used for whenever the Supreme Leader enters a building. Or as the world knows it, "Manse/만세!" Whenever this happens for a big event, Song of Happiness for the Great Leader, the DPRK version of Hail to the Chief, is played in the background.
"10,000 years" is mostly an exclamation used to for something very important/normally national. It should be translated as "long live ..." or "all praises to ...". I think it is similar to "vive la France". It should be noted that, instead of "thousand", the biggest single worded unit in chinese is 10,000 (don't ask why), so ten thousand can be taken as a generic term for a large number. 9 is used in this way as well. In chinese, "10,000" is directly translated to "one ten-thousand", the hyphen indicating it is a single unit, whereas "10,000 years" is just "ten-thousand years", without the "one". This is more apparent in the next this example, where "1000 years" is pronunced "thousand years" instead of "one thousand years" A very very long time ago, this was used to salute emperors, and was a synonym/title of the emperor. This was taken to mean the people wish the emperor to live forever. Similarly, the emperor's advisors were called "thousand years".
10,000 years also has a deeper religious meaning. It is said that the Forbidden City has 9,999 rooms: one less than the perfect 10,000 rooms of the castle in heaven. It’s also found in a lot of other East Asian cultures by association. “Banzai” literally means 10000 in Japanese, so the phrase “Tennōheika Banzai! (天皇陛下万歳)” means “Long live His Majesty The Emperor” but it could also be translated as “10000 years to the Emperor”. By the way yes Japanese soldiers were confirmed to say such a phrase in banzai charges, however despite pop culture portrayal Kamikaze pilots did not always scream it while performing their suicide attacks.
"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.
I am the Chinese person who came to RUclips using VPN. This video is very objective and tells the truth. Twenty years ago, most Chinese people may not be familiar with foreign countries because technology at that time made most people not even know how to use the Internet, which also led to their understanding of foreign countries only coming from domestic media. This also led them to believe that China must be better than foreign countries. But now technology has become very advanced (compared to before), and most young people in China use the Internet. There are also some young people who travel or study abroad, and they have a clear understanding of what it looks like abroad. People will no longer be deceived by the government's political means. But there will also be some people who are brainwashed by politics, to the extent that their understanding of foreign countries is still unclear. Our government has done practical things for the people, and restricting access to the internet is also because one country's president said that we should use media and public opinion to disrupt people's hearts. There are not many people in China who have the ability to go abroad, so in order to cope with the political strategy of other countries using media, we can only use VPN to browse the internet and let young people who have the ability to go abroad experience the foreign environment with heart. However, even though browsing the internet is prohibited, the prevalence of VPN still leads to some foreign spies disguising themselves as Chinese through VPN and making comments online to disrupt public opinion. Take a step and see, where there is oppression, there is resistance. Before resistance comes, don't assume there is oppression. If there is really oppression, Chinese young people will stand up.
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

Interestingly, when I was in China about 6 years ago or so, Facebook messenger does work, but only with pre-existing chats, if I tried to create a new one it'd block the app, but if I used a chat that was in place before entering China it worked. Dunno if it's still the case though.

All throughout the 2000s, I had a Chinese friend I used to exchange long letters with on an online forum - we'd talk about the arts, and football, and life and its ups and downs... earlier in the 2010s, she suddenly disappeared, and I only later found out the site we were on was banned in China. Too bad we didn't exchange email addresses or anything... I still think about her sometimes, wonder how she's doing. I hope you're doing okay. I miss you.
That's such a sad feeling! I too have people that I always talked to but I fully lost contact with them. I wonder how they're doing.

This is because some sites choose to serve resources from a common location, such as the JSDelivr CDN, to save on traffic to their own server/whatever serverless construct they're using, like S3 or GH pages.
I don't think the chinese would block CDNs that have things such as an authoritative version of JQuery, hence it's most likely a case of heuristic-based blocking instead of a hard BGP block.

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.

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

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.........

I'm pretty sure the "talking animal ban" is complete bs. Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, is certainly not banned in China for being an iconic folktale character, Black Cat Detective is a famous (albeit very propagandistic) cartoon from the early days of Chinese animation, and more recently I remember the show "Pleasant Goat and the Big Big Wolf" being quite popular with the kids in China. Zootopia was officially released in Chinese theaters as well. It's pretty clear to me that there is no ban on talking animals in Chinese media, and I'm not sure where that myth came from.
@USERZ123 See the thing is right, there is a little chance you are a normal chinese citizen because of supposed hassle with VPN and such, then there's even lesser chance that you are an english speaking normal chinese citizen, so yeah

This was incredibly fascinating. Sad, but fascinating.
My dad was at Tiananmen Square. When we talked about the massacre, he apologized to me and my brother, for failing to earn the freedom that we deserved for us. I still cry every time I think of his face when he was saying that.
I wouldn’t blame him. Westernisation and Liberal Democracy had told people for 100 years that no government would ever cross the line and murder their own citizens. China crossed that line and now wants to cover it up from its current citizens ever knowing about it
At least he had the guts to stand up that's still very important and respectable
He did more than anyone in this day and age would've done.
he didn't fail, he and many planted seed to the future. Please extend my sincere solute to your father, he should held his head up high with proud.
Failing would mean he never tried, he didn't fail, TS clearly had a lasting effect on the country
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)

Technically correct is the best kind of correct.
Just like the Chinese language, Chinese legislation does not operate based on rules but base on context. The goal of Chinese legislation is not to provide a guideline of operation but to provide a guideline on the desired outcome. Hence many Chinese laws and rules only state the desired result but not the process which to achieve said result or the situation in which the rule is applied. Which is the reason why there is much inconsistency in the examples provided in the video.
The video provided a relatively accurate and comprehensive (compare to other videos of similar topic on RUclips) description of the process but only briefly touched on the result of the desired process, and the relevant context which produced such process.
Holy shit
I remember living in China and arguing with one of my coworkers about Tiananmen Square. He had travelled around the world and still loved China's system of doing things, going as far as to say the massacre was justified.
Blue pilled brainwashed people. Can’t be helped. Poor them.
If he doesn’t love the system he had to either hide his thoughts and be dishonest almost all the time or be prepared for jail time. Either way isn’t easy. Many of us just mesmerized ourselves to believe that our system is the best to avoid the struggle.

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.

Every country has an internet of their own inside, especially non english speaking ones (english ones are hard to distinguish), the memes are very different and you can see their culture which is a great way to learn their language for context. The firewall separating every country's internet to each other is the language itself, while translators are much better, what it can't translate is context, to know context you need culture. I don't agree with how China is doing the firewall, for me it just separates everyone to Chinese people which fosters ignorance and hate, in my entire life I can count in my fingers real Chinese people living in China that I've talked to. The firewall is ineffective too which makes me wonder why it exist even now, because of VPN, they know you use VPN but they don't know what you use it for, only people who use it are those that can speak English or understand other language which is not a lot. It just seem political to me, both west and china are not really enemies back then (if you exclude the Qing dynasty and the Korean war), USSR and China wasn't the best allies back then, China supported the Mujahideen (seriously look it up, was surprised by it, the Afghan government played a part of it but to support your ally's enemy is definitely betrayal imo). Back to what I was talking about, if you ask any westerner or Chinese if they hate each other (people not government) you will get mixed response due to the fact that both sides has no interaction on a scale to understand each other, their information came from news sites and hearsays from other people, if they say they hate them just ask why and they won't be able to give a reasonable answer. Internet can bring everyone together, that's why I support unregulated use of it, while it can be used by criminals, that's just the downside of it, the upside overwhelms it by a lot, you don't stop something because criminals can use it, you don't stop selling knives because it can be used to stab someone, you can't stop crime without getting to the root of it (it mostly roots down to money and greed).

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've been living in China for nearlly ten years now, and I've never heard about the ban on talking animals. That's kind of stupid because one of their most revered mythological beings, Sun WuKong (孙悟空), is a monkey that talks. The Kung Fu Panda franchise is hugely successful and it's nothing but talking animals. SpongeBob and Paw Patrol are popular with Chinese children, and talking animals isn't warping their minds or anything. It would be a bit hypocritical if they really did enforce the ban.
These people don't think straight, they're so used to anti-East american/imperialist propaganda that they'll believe anything you tell them, China bad.
Maybe it‘s just a wrong interpretation of the saying "Animal are not allowed to become spirits after the Founding of China"(建国之后不许成精）which is a nothing more than a half-meme in China...I wonder how this phrase came to become "a ban on talking animals".

If you're wondering about the phrase "10,000 Years", it's a way to wish someone a long life. In ancient China it was used to wish the emperor, while during the Cultural Revolution it was used to wish Chairman Mao. Nowadays in China, it's just used as an exclamation of joy in general. When Italy scored a goal in the 2006 World Cup's round of 16 against Australia, the Chinese commentator said "Italy ten thousand years!" interpreted as his way of saying "Forza Italia". So it's in no way a negative thing
Meanwhile in the DPRK, saying ten-thousand years is used for whenever the Supreme Leader enters a building. Or as the world knows it, "Manse/만세!" Whenever this happens for a big event, Song of Happiness for the Great Leader, the DPRK version of Hail to the Chief, is played in the background.
"10,000 years" is mostly an exclamation used to for something very important/normally national. It should be translated as "long live ..." or "all praises to ...". I think it is similar to "vive la France".
It should be noted that, instead of "thousand", the biggest single worded unit in chinese is 10,000 (don't ask why), so ten thousand can be taken as a generic term for a large number. 9 is used in this way as well.
In chinese, "10,000" is directly translated to "one ten-thousand", the hyphen indicating it is a single unit, whereas "10,000 years" is just "ten-thousand years", without the "one".
This is more apparent in the next this example, where "1000 years" is pronunced "thousand years" instead of "one thousand years"
A very very long time ago, this was used to salute emperors, and was a synonym/title of the emperor. This was taken to mean the people wish the emperor to live forever. Similarly, the emperor's advisors were called "thousand years".
That's why japanese yelling BANZAI it mean 10,000years.
10,000 years also has a deeper religious meaning. It is said that the Forbidden City has 9,999 rooms: one less than the perfect 10,000 rooms of the castle in heaven. It’s also found in a lot of other East Asian cultures by association. “Banzai” literally means 10000 in Japanese, so the phrase “Tennōheika Banzai! (天皇陛下万歳)” means “Long live His Majesty The Emperor” but it could also be translated as “10000 years to the Emperor”. By the way yes Japanese soldiers were confirmed to say such a phrase in banzai charges, however despite pop culture portrayal Kamikaze pilots did not always scream it while performing their suicide attacks.

This also led them to believe that China must be better than foreign countries. But now technology has become very advanced (compared to before), and most young people in China use the Internet. There are also some young people who travel or study abroad, and they have a clear understanding of what it looks like abroad. People will no longer be deceived by the government's political means. But there will also be some people who are brainwashed by politics, to the extent that their understanding of foreign countries is still unclear. Our government has done practical things for the people, and restricting access to the internet is also because one country's president said that we should use media and public opinion to disrupt people's hearts. There are not many people in China who have the ability to go abroad, so in order to cope with the political strategy of other countries using media, we can only use VPN to browse the internet and let young people who have the ability to go abroad experience the foreign environment with heart. However, even though browsing the internet is prohibited, the prevalence of VPN still leads to some foreign spies disguising themselves as Chinese through VPN and making comments online to disrupt public opinion. Take a step and see, where there is oppression, there is resistance. Before resistance comes, don't assume there is oppression. If there is really oppression, Chinese young people will stand up.
The social credit system IS being used, just not nation-wide and only in a few major cities
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
You are terrible there’s no getting around it
@@leiuwu3965 ok why would they be censored lol.
@@BerryFin because youtube dont like it its that simple
@@BerryFin because it goes agaisnt the narrative that western capital (who undoubtedly has ties to youtube stockholders) want you to believe about the ebul gommunism
The Internet of the future will look like the Internet in GTA 4
why would it evolve backwards
@@thesummergamer7245 That's what censorship does
Interestingly, when I was in China about 6 years ago or so, Facebook messenger does work, but only with pre-existing chats, if I tried to create a new one it'd block the app, but if I used a chat that was in place before entering China it worked. Dunno if it's still the case though.
ah yes, VHS, my favorite format for watching Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

6:39 BTW, Tencent owns (or has shares in):
Riot Games,
Discord,
Epic Games,
Bandcamp,
Harmonix,
Roblox,
Ubisoft,
Miniclip,
Paradox
and many more.
It also held stock in Activision Blizzard prior to the Microsoft aquisition.
not even flash games are safe
Crazy how these companies are banned in China but having shares in them is totally ok
@@redbean9410 know your enemies I guess, plus I can assume this can also be use as a way to make a Chinese ver. of those applications
It happened to roblox so I wouldn't be surprised if they start a localized ver. of each of these apps.
yeah, games like Diablo Immortal, LoL, Terraria, Minecraft etc available with super interesting censorship
shares means some influence but conspiracy people think that china own the whole thing if a chinese company is in it

You are so right about the social credit system . My family lives there no one is ever heard of social credit system
