this is a joke right. China has very toxic air. I went to Beijing in 2017, my eyes lietrally hurt. And it is dirty and many building are very run down. HK is terrible too. Europe is better. the city is more beatiful
@@sichuan385 China sacrificed many things to gain the development. I never want this strong development but I gradually understand why they just happened
I am a Chinese living in NYC (UES, the better part of Manhattan). I get all your points. I do not mind the old and cracky subways and trains in the US. When my friends complain about it and praise China's infrastructure, I often say it's because China learned from the best. However, there are many "software" problems in the public transport system of the US. First of all, there seems to be no maintenance and enforcement of rules/laws at all. For example, two days ago, I had just gotten off the train and wanted to take the elevator to the top platform. And right in the middle of the elevator there was a pool of pee, and a guy was yelling and coughing (without a mask) in the elevator. This was just an example but I have to say this sort of thing is really common during my 7 years here in the US (Bay area, Up state NY, NYC and most airports). I wish things could be better especially when NYC is still considered an extremely high risk area for Covid-19. I will just point out two specific problems in the US that contribute to this situation. One is that there is no public bathroom (I mean you could argue there is, but it is nowhere enough as how China does it). The other is the homeless population here. And I will just stop here less I will write an 800 word essay.
Good discussion and comparison! While learning from each other and adapting the good points is highly effective and recommended, others might characterize this as theft of intellectual property :-)
Chris, it’d be much better to provide your detail living experiences in Shanghai in English to bridge the cultural gaps between Chinese and your fellow American. Thank you for all your great clips. Keep up the great works.
全世界其他国家没查过，美国是通过立法确认自来水是安全饮用的。Yes, tap water is safe to drink in USA. ... The reason you can count on it is because of the regulations in place by US Environmental protection Agency( EPA) for public drinking water, which is Safe Drinking Water Act in America
