10 Reasons NOT to Move to China! || 外国人应该了解中国 

We need more videos like this. I want to know both the good and bad about China. But I avoid all the channels that say bad things about China because I don't know if they are telling the truth or not. It's good to have a trusted source giving us a more complete understanding of the place.

Thanks for the “entertainment “ I had a good laugh as in the way you described it. Btw, I have enjoyed your videos ❤

Chinese women are honest in dating they don;t date like the Philippines to get visa and their retirement funds

Nice video! You don't need to be positive all the time. Constructive criticism is always welcome because no country is perfect. And this balance makes people feel that you are more genuine in your positive message, instead of just being considered a shill. 👍

I am chinese, Lizzy, I like this video! I think it's really important to share this kind of informations and perceptions, China is a really different country from western countries, it is real important to have as more information as people can heve before to move to there! As I said, I am chinese, I really hope all foreigners can have great time/life in my country.

I appreciate your honesty. We still love you. This video gives people a more realistic view of what to expect as a foreigner in China. On the other hand, I don't think all the foreigners feel the same way.

As a Chinese, I think the reason for not being able to make friends (even when the language barrier is aptly addressed) is that Chinese are typically more reserved, even more so when dealing with foreigners who can feel intimidating and unfamiliar to us. It's not that we hate foreigners and treat them worse than locals, it's that we need a bit more confidence to talk with foreigners than with ourselves. Of course, most of us do show ample courtesy if foreigners approach us, but we may need more encouragement to build close relationships with foreigners. If you are willing to invest time and mental effort into fostering a relationship with us, opening up more and being the ice breaker may help (I'm no expert in relationships but this at least it would work against me).

i really enjoyed my time in Shanghai. life was great even if it got expensive day after day.

Traveling to China during a national holiday is the worst idea, public transport would be so over crowded with people going back home, to different parts of China to celebrate with family etc, imagine 1.4 billion people, over a vast landmass, that is as big as America, traveling around the country. That's too many people. Too crowded. Work hours, is hard, compared to majority of western developed countries, Chinese are extremely hard workers, but then have no social life. Much like the drone workers in Japan. Not much work/life balance. I hope it improves though. Very interesting video Lizz 👍

In most other countries people work to live, in China people live to work. You are enjoyable to watch toots. 👏

Practical aspects and difficulties one might face living in a foreign land nicely presented! Bravo!

I was in China for few months. The Over The Counter and doctor-prescribed medication are super. Effective and much, much better than those in the US. The packets you are talking about are the TCM medication. Most foreign tourists don't drink TCM medication. They go to hospital to consult doctor if they are not feeling well. Please be clear on this aspect. If you have depression, the Chinese doctor is correct, you should learn to think positive when issue happens. People in the west over rely on medication to quickly solve their issues and without medication they became hopeless, and suicidal. They developed a dependence problem. That's NOT good.

Just got back from China ( Guangzhou->Shanghai->Beijing->Chongqing). This is just my thoughts of one month in China and is not fair. These are just "my" thoughts. China is NOT perfect but it is the safest country on this planet, imo. People are kind and humble. The Architecture is modern/futuristic. The transportation public and private cars ( mostly EVs) are futuristic. The streets are clean. There a many many positive but here are my pet peeves: 1. Too many squat toilets 2. Smoking in plubic places 3. the spitting 4. For forgeingers, the "You want massage hint" 5. The silent EV mopeds zipping on pedestrian side walk.

Traveling in many countries during LARGEST MAJOR NATIONAL HOLIDAY are mostly night mares. It is not just in China.

I've had discomfort under my right ribs for a year. I went to all the best hospitals and they all said there was nothing wrong with me. But I really felt uncomfortable, and I finally recovered after taking Chinese medicine. You know that year, I always felt like I was going to die.By the way, the safest way to give gifts in China is red envelopes.But you are a foreigner, and Chinese people will not be angry if you give pears or shoes to lovers. We have a saying: Don’t blame those who don’t know.

Lizzy, thanks for your honesty that has come out in this video and others. It seems to me that most expats, as in other countries-- not just China, have a parallel space. This is why as a multilingual speaker it is fundamental to speak the language when living in a specific country..... you are so amazing! love your videos.

Lizzy, you are getting more beautiful and have a more relaxed facial expression than the early time you just arrived China.

LIZZY, welcome to China. 😊 YOU don't have to work hard coming to China. With all these living conveniences & public amenities provided to YOU, because YOU are privileged. The Chinese people, YOUR people, would do & work everything for YOU

Thank you for sharing your experiences and makes well thought through advices. 👍

True true, and some days we just need some hugs and some vitamin B as well. ❤❤❤❤❤

Edgar Cayce once said that eventually China would become “the cradle of Christianity, as applied in the lives of men.” And Cayce promised amazing changes in the country that would lead to more democracy and greater religious freedom. He also suggested that eventually the height of civilization would move from the West to the Chinese people: “And these will progress. For, civilization moves west.” What this man said 80 years ago are truly manifesting upon now in front of our very eyes.

I don't quite get the medicine part. I think most of the dissolved infusion (TCM based) are sweet. It's the plain boiled TCM that's hard to get down.

Your advice is brilliant especially for those who intend to visit china.✔💯

We are all different. We have a different cultural background to begin with It doesn't matter if you like it or not, so with respect to each other we can live peacefully 😊❤

Yes，people judge you there, I love my country，but really overwhelming when people come tell me what to do what not to all the time。i just wanted to be leave alone，that is one of the reason i moved aboard。 but i am always missing home，always planning move back when i retire。you have very honest ideas。

Love your background music. Seems saying some mystery of China

One reason I think you should add ... if you are a teen, make sure to avoid China at all costs, the Gaokao is crazy hard

I live in hk, I agreed totally with your channel and everything is not over exaggerating.

I'd only travel to China outside Chinese public holidays 🤭

@12:06, lmao. The way you acted that out is hilarious. I meant that in a good way.

Awesome 👍👍 love your energy

Fantastic, entertaining video. Thank you so so much… I’ve been a scriber for quite a long time, and I have not replied very often, but do you have a very entertaining style and this was one of your best I just came back from Shanghai having a two month visit with a friend there so it’s no surprise to me all the things you said, but what a wonderful wonderful country.

Lizzy is great 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Hey Funny looking, just remember big G would hire individuals just to post negativity on your channel just to wear you out, and there also the joker. Your honesty is what good people want to hear, great stuff keep it up. 😊

A great video Lizzy 👍🔝

Great one, Lizzy.

Agree that there are also bad things in China, like all other countries/cities. There are also good guys and bad guys you may meet. However, that depends on whar aspect, right? To me, personal safety is the top. I won't go to visit places that might risk my life or being robbed. Compare to America and some EU cities, gun shoot, homeless, robery ,subway scared me. Unlike China, all agree that personal safty are good for most of the time.

Yes, you'll have so much personal space in Kensington Avenue Philadelphia, Portland, Vancouver Canada, even you can have your personal drugs, given freely for the first time as a sample, and trade the drugs afterward with your soul, mind, and body, so that you can be a Zombie 😂

Every countries not prefect in this world 🌎. Not only China 🇨🇳.

I live in the US, I am planning to go to China to retire ❤

what's nice about living in China, you know everything is made in China, and at least you don't have to go far to get what you want.😁

15:34 "be more happy"...this is their secret to success. They just get on with things and overcome challenges.

Much of us in Western countries have to improve our home countries to make them better than we were born in. Much of the issues described are also issues in the home countries of westerners. Much of the issues Liszt mentioned exist in my country which is the USA (“well, you don’t have universal health insurance but at least you don’t live in Afghanistan” which I struggled with insulin rationing). Westerners, if they wanna get China to be motivated to make even better changes, is to clean your closet at home - especially in Western Europe and North America, which are the regions who held back global and domestic development for a really long time.

Marriage is difficult in many country，一言難盡，the other problems.....for foreigners , you can try to adapt it or just never mind it

Here in Dali, my wife works seven days a week, and she never gets time off, yeah, we are renovating our house and the locals will just wander onto the property, just being nosey, the stares yes, can get a little irritating, if they look at me more than three times, I wave at them then they realise I see them and tend to stop, have to disagree on your comments about the woman, the ones I know are very strong-minded and not subservient - as a foreigner, they assume you are rich - ...but still love being here, clear, safe and very friendly, hope your mum has settled in okay...Peace

Thx for sharing

My GF was from Kunming and she always said that Kunming was like the bundus compared to Shanghai. I liked Shanghai and I am living in VN. I live not far from Kunming and can go there by train. Problem is the visa.

You’re on the right side Lizzy. God is pleased with your godly works.

😊 big hug. Intersting...

Hi sister Liz🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

A beautiful country - China

China is the safest country to live in.🇨🇦

Life in China isn't perfect. Life in ANY country isn't perfect (not even in Switzerland). I live in Canada and there's plenty to bitch about here. Still, life in China is pretty damn good. I feel jealous. The issue is not about the quality of life in China. The issue is about political ideology. China is not a liberal democracy. Western critics and bigots have a problem with that. If China were a liberal democracy, they couldn't bash China. Well, I suppose they could still bash China in the same way that they could bash Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines...any country whose culture is too different from their own. It boils down to _xenophobia._

@Because I'm Lizzy,Can I say a few words, you are a foreigner in China, people are very curious when they see foreigners, for example, curious about what they do, for them, most of them have been surrounded by Chinese people almost their whole life, you know what I mean, they are very curious about things they have not seen, they want to know what a foreigner is like, Sometimes they may do things that foreigners do not like, such as watching, such as pointing, in addition, they will not do anything to hurt you, they are just curious about things they have not seen, if you want to do your own thing, not to be disturbed, it is OK, after a period of time, they will lose their curiosity and leave.

What you are talking about is true. I mean both good and bad side.

The thing that upset me about China was I looked at Australia without the rose-coloured glasses. Particularly the "China Bad" government and media. Almost everyone I tell about China will argue. You would think they were the ones that had been there.

very like your video~

你說的很有道理，不過我覺得中國確實有很多自身的缺點導致現在很腐敗，中國到現在沒有實現國家統一，解放台灣，中國的教育制度很腐敗，看重學習而不看重素質，以學習來取決一切，他們扼殺了學生的能力，家長也是很有問題覺得自己都是對的孩子都是錯的，中國應該把教育進行大規模改善如果不改善早晚有一天人民也會起義革命推翻政府，但大部分中國的負面新聞都是美國和西方媒體的污衊造謠

No. 9 --- I'm a Chinese from Hong Kong. I also lived in Canada when I was young. The west like to share the "feeling" but the Chinese really don't. So when we talk about something private, it would mean we are looking for advice. And for that, if you are not looking for advice, but just what a good listener and let it out, don't talk to a chinese..may i suggest getting a pet...I heard they can be very good listeners...

women don't pour the drink, unless you drinks in those kinda bars.😂

No perfect country in the world , the place fitting yourself is the best , I like Chinese medical system, I used to got injured in China and then went to ED of hospital, which was so fast to get treatment, in my country you have to wait like fucking 7hours or more in ED … and food and groceries in China are cheaper and tasty .. but in my country every thing is expensive at the moment……. More and more ppl living in a tough life …………..

How do you say no to food? Do you say yes three times first?

I'm Chinese. Agree all on this video

I've subscribed to your channel, don't be angry anymore 😁❤

Your video are the truth in china❤

oh the personal space definitely get on my nerves

Salary of most Chinese are around 500USD amonth

Too much generalisation. All the "bad points" mentioned are also applicable to other countries ALL OVER the world. @13:40 People in Asian societies are too busy trying to earn a living, trying to do well financially for their family. This is why they do not have time to DWELL on mental problems. Unlike Western people with too much time and wealth, they dwell on their mental problems. They exaggerate on their problems of coping with life and work. They dwell on their WOKE culture. @13:16 Now, this point about Marriage, the Western concept of "LOVE" is based on Physical Attraction. This is why Divorce is easily the way out when this Physical Attraction is gone. Eastern concept of Marriage tends to emphasize on respect and duties to one's partner, emphasize on financial support and compatibility. Such marriages last because they are based on reality, not just physical attraction. **Other generalisation in the video, I leave them for foreign viewers themselves to research further.

✨ ok, I'll do it.........where is Emma????? 🤔

Before you diss China, get in touch with your US embassy "special department". Otherwise your efforts will not earn you big money. Like this video. 🤣🤣🤣. Be smart, and earn big bucks.

China is a police state. If you must move to a police state, why not go to North Korea instead?

The subtitles on your video cannot be translated into Chinese language

我喜欢听你的声音，正好可以学习英语

👍❤️

A wise person lives in godliness. A fool looks for something bad to talk about… you are wise Lizzy.

So Lizzy Love Chins, so what? There's 1.4 billions people are also tge same too! 😂❤

8:55 So few women, Lizzy. You are an English teacher. Grammar must be uptight.

Safety but not food safety 😮

China mode is totally different from the other country of the world, China let everybody not poor.

用来当英语听力

Depending on who or where you are compared to. If you compare China to Utopia, China has nothing great about it.
