@@zhwyan2656 China has never done anything wrong ever and anyone who says otherwise is racist

Problems don't exist to the Chinese, there a myth in Chinese folklore.

I am Chinese and I used to live in the US. I returned to China by the end of 2015. After living in China for about 2 years I already realized all those issues Serpentza was talking about, and everything is obviously going backward these days. I appreciate Serpentza for speaking up about those issues. You may assume Chinese are not affected by all those backward rules and propaganda, but for us Chinese with foreign spouses, we're greatly affected. My husband is a foreigner from Africa, we had super tough time in China and we were also not allowed to check in most hotels. There's no long-term solution for us in China so we left this year.

Sometimes it's not Chinese being too fragile, you should really watch your choice of words there. 'To a Chinese' is really stereotypical and a bit racist. Clearly a lot of educated and open-minded, mostly younger generation(with vpn) and some first scholars born in late 60s and early 70s, would think more critically and sure won't be pissed off by what SerpentZA says. There's a particular term 'wumao' referring to those brainwashed communist puppets. While it's very wrong and hateful to say every Chinese is ignoring what's going on with our nation and just attacking those who point out the issues.

Michael S. This type of group ladies are rejected by all the local Chinese residents because of their music are so loud and the music is so cultural revolution like. There is big wave of shame post on the Internet. Now these type of dancing move into HK . Haha, you do not know how annoying they are. But this is all can be tolerated except the political system

Yeah, to me that would be very irritating. I guess her being all nice about it suppressed my annoyance with sound pollution. Here in the US it's getting pretty bad too with kids (mostly) listening to their phone loudly in public. Suuuuper annoying if stuck in line or in a building with these people. Even libraries are not safe, everyone talks to each other or on the phone. It's rage inducing.

Michael S. That was her polite way of asking him to leave.

Another thing - the western financial crisis of 2008 coincided with what I dub the "Color TV" moment of China. SerpentZA and guys like myself in China pre-2007 remember when literally the entire male population wore black vinyl shoes, white socks (MJ style) with black pants, and white or brown collared shirts. Seas of black and white with laowai "Where's Waldo" moments. Then, the streets changed from black&white to color.

How comes?

How come you lived there for 16 years if it’s really that bad? Maybe higher salary than in your own country. You can make easy money there in China

Which city did you live in?

Not everything in life is dependent on salary. As it happens the real wage (that is earnings relative to rent/consumables) is far higher in China than the UK, US and Australia. This is not a 'I love China' comment, but rather how we're being scammed in the west@@linelaine2489

John Hardin the west is losing its national idenities, this things are achieved only when the will of the people is United all working towards bettering themselves and country and the Chinese seem to have it in them

Ray Dalio made a speech on the future of world growth. Accordingly, China's growth is going to slow down by 50 percent for years ahead BUT it is still way ahead of USA at its best. Also, do note that China does not have any significant amount of foreign debt, unlike many developed countries. I feel sorry for Serpentza, he seems to be a negativity magnet! Unlike Food Ranger (a successful youtuber), all bad things in life seem to only happen to Serpentza. I hope he finds peace for the rest of his life.

John Hardin very to the point my comrade, as proud chinese people, witnessing the fast changes going on in our home country is amazing. Picturing 50 years ago, millions of Chinese people were starving to die when the famine came, then 50 years later we are having a good life with the party leading us to the brighter future. Now China is facing a crucial time that stepping up to be the no1 economy group in the world and this hurts some people especially the US while China is getting stronger their advantage and status weakened, they get irritated the same time trying their best to prevent this to happen. No matter what has been shown to people, money talks, wait and see which one can be the strongest and yes we believe in communism, when you grew up with it that became your faith.

Japan has been in a slump for a few decades now. There's a reason why games consoles despite being invented there don't take off like they do in the West. The most common gaming machine is an 80s arcade machine! Japan was a late adopter of smart phones despite being one of the first to integrate live chat and emails into phones since the 90s. There's a reason why cds and vhs cassettes are still available to buy in Japan. Those Asimo robots haven't changed much since being shown off over a decade ago. Boston dynamics seems leagues ahead despite being a far younger company. Technologically they are stagnant and slow to change. It may be due to the falling birth rate. Japan isn't as technologically advanced as we are told. I think it's an image we have of them that is outdated.

It's up to the immigration department of said country. It's none of my business ... You are also terribly mistaken if you think China wants absolutely no "western influence" at all ... If that's the case then Chinese people should live up to their words and not drive western branded cars ... BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, Range Rover, Tesla, Jaguar, VW, Chrysler, Audi, Ford etc ... Chinese people also love European clothing brands more than Europeans themselves 🤔 ... Louis Vuitton, Prada, Gucci, Hermes etc etc ... These brands are more popular in China than the "western" countries they originate from ... There are also thousands and thousands of Chinese students studying in the US and Europe, so why would they go to the trouble of moving halfway across the world to study in a western university if they want "no western influence" ?? ... Especially when there are plenty of good universities in China ... China is a great country and has a bright future ahead, due to the hard work of it's citizens, but to say China wants "no western influence" is a little short sighted ... It would be more realistic to say China wants "less" western influence than it currently has, which is more achievable.

My thoughts exactly as well.

The current situation is actually not an issue which comes from no where, it's the continuation of 2008 economy crisis, combined with a president who gets an awful hand called QiShan Wang, a bad international status, a really tough industrial transformation, a crippled cultural system which was crushed in cultural revolution and most importantly, a party without sense of safety.

The worst part of current CCP is not that it's awful, the worst part of current CCP is that it's not bad, especially to the Chinese. Which means it's really hard to find replacement. If Machiavelli shall alive , he might define the current CCP as a perfect monarch.

As someone who got their post-grad in economics in China I can fully agree with that.

Italy has the rule of law??

@@dzonikg learn to read so you don't talk crap. Of course you need a tourist visa to get into Italy, like anywhere else, but that's not what we're on about, is it? What we're talking about is the status of foreigners married to a Chinese national who want to live in China. And that status is as follows : - no equality before Chinese "law". - no access to public healthcare, education and Chinese "social security". Will have to pay from your own pocket, ditto for your children if they're not Chinese. - No access to the job market. Residence permit only allows you to stay there doing nothing (for one or two years at a time). If you're caught working you will be deported. Residence permit can be converted into a work visa, but you need to find a company willing to sponsor you, which most don't do or can't afford to do (procedure is a hassle). - unfair access as a self-employed, i.e. if you want to start a business you need to put a bag of cash upfront first, to the tune of 100 000 euros. Only other option is finding a Chinese associate, but he better be reliable because in case of legal disputes Chinese "law" will always rule in his favour (see also point 1). - big restrictions on property ownership - can never get a permanent residence permit. - can never become Chinese - rule of lol?

Swedish media trying to propagate commercial of a black man and a white women. Black people always the victim, when they have friggin Obama as the president. Hypocrites in a nutshell. Remember Sweden is a feminist country now, so we are taking in more migrants. Educated people get no jobs in low or high income jobs. So be Zen and live for only yourself and your social rule.

The Peking University People's Hospital 北京大学人民医院 I found was a bit better about that, but still no way a 10 minute wait. I had a lot of trouble getting a sim card for my phone, waiting hours in line for the bank, had issues with not being allowed to go to hotels, having police officers showing up at my door and asking for all the documentation I have because my sister stayed in my flat for 3 days for a stop over to Germany.(Edit: I should point out we did everything legally and had her register with the police before she stayed over). Had people say degrading things to me on the street because I'm overweight. Waiting hours to get other friends 'registered' to stay with me, even though they stayed for one night because they were going to another part of China. Hey, just realized you've only experienced Beijing summer. I tell people the winter for me was miserable, but the summer here was pretty great. I also know, I have a bad reaction to the pollution that most foreigners don't get, so I can understand why it would be a better experience for them. Overall, I think Beijing in the summer is a lovely place to stay, so I would like to try to go south to a warmer place, with less pollution in the winter. I would also love to improve my Chinese, I'm halfway through HSK 3, because I think you cannot really integrate into a place without knowing the language. Give it as long as Winston has been in China, then see how you feel. Everywhere has positives and negatives, in no way do I think either China or my home country is at all perfect.

Perhaps also that different times, places, illness are all factors that dictact different waiting times. Plain facts: I've waited for 2 hours to be seen. I've also waited as fast as 30minutes but never 10minutes in and out. I was denied a Sim card at the first place after we waited a very long time in line. We got our number, went and had afternoon tea, and still waited another half an hour when we got back but I couldn't get a Sim card. Just plain facts. If that didn't happen to you, great. But not everything is as smooth and organised as you make it out to be for everyone. I have had other friends with similar banking issues, and others with none. I agree that for the majority, Beijing is a nice place to stay. Subway, online payments, cheaper living cost, helpful people, rich history, beautiful language, delicious food, fun activities for all ages, cheap Didi, there aspects are great. Also, which country do you come from, what job are you doing?

Lol. Typical honeymooners. You have NO idea, noob. Have fuuunnnnn. Nooby Whitey. Lolll.

@A Artisan it's not nationalism, you should get a dictionary. Nationalism just means putting your country first.

@@Shenzhou. So your writing that American should make the world rich after Obama doubled our debt to 20 Trillion, sheesh, good one

@@Shenzhou. China does seem smarter when it comes to immigration, but then they also arent using immigration to change their political parties, as you only have one party

@@Shenzhou. China is NOT, I meant the US , our liberal democrats want mass immigration to support their party, when immigrant even illegally come here they give them welfare and sign them up to vote for their socialist party. China does not allow that. And political experience has done almost nothing to help us ,Trumps Business experience has helped us, he has done more for our economy than anyone. But since I think you are Chinese, I did expect you to hate Trump,

Yes, that’s the plan!

@@serpentza Awesome!

@@Shenzhou. What's wrong with being independent? Independence is a good quality. That's like trying to insult someone by saying "He's fiercely intelligent!"

@@Shenzhou. - Perhaps that is because Chinese people will forever treat him as a foreigner no matter how much he assimilates? You criticize his Mandarin, but what about the Chinese-Americans who still have heavy accents and poor English skills even after living here most of their lives? Would you criticize them for the difficulty they have adjusting? The English tongue works a lot differently than the Chinese tongue. The sounds are different, the inflections much different, and it's very difficult to change that kind of muscle memory.

​@@Shenzhou. It's kinda funny really, when the root cause of your complaint can be found in any mirror. I had in the back of my mind when I wrote the phrase "you guys both speak Chinese ok" that it might troll someone like you out of the woodwork, but I figured that it was sufficiently played down to reflect acknowledgement of moderate ability rather than praise of high proficiency. Amusing that it was high enough praise to trigger your desire to educate me of the truth of the matter... I mean, I'm suggesting that he, a South African White, go to bits of Africa (probably not ZA), where there might be Black Africans with whom his prime common language is Chinese, and that it would be interesting to see what that conversation looked like. I'm not expecting startling language ability between the 2 foreigners with the same common language. And as a non Chinese speaker I'm fully expecting subtitles and wild gesticulation to be my only way into the conversation. And for you as a Chinese speaker you get to laugh at MULTIPLE foreigners who can in your opinion barely speak Chinese as they attempt to communicate across a centuries old racial divide where tensions and violence run just below the surface and any wrong move in communication could trigger deep offense. Why are you not encouraging this? So what the foreign guy doesn't want to pretend to be Chinese... big deal. Would the Chinese ever *truly* accept the weird white guy who is desperate to fit in? It is impossible to assimilate a culture, the culture assimilates you.

@@Zhen-Lin-CHN super racist bro.

Absolutely he is. He’s objective and doesn’t pull any punches. He tells you the facts and realities. Good or bad; he gives it to you straight, it’s a breath of fresh air in the era of this insanity fake news left-wing moonbat “journalism” Although for as much communist literature you see in China? It’s still not as bad as CNN, MSNBC, New York Times, and the list goes on and on Not even mentioning the joke that our colleges and universities have become. Pure socialist indoctrination.....that’s all they are anymore, even primary school, as young as kindergarten they are preparing the children for it. Telling 5 year olds that homosexuality is normal. Nah, that shit ISNT normal. I don’t care what adults do in the privacy of their homes.....if you’re gay? Whatever, doesn’t affect me....but stop stuffing it down our throats with every tv show, every movie, every commercial, fucking EVERYTHING, it’s out of control. Be gay all you want, but keep it to yourself. You don’t see the rest of us screaming from the rooftops that “we love to fuck women!!!!” I don’t fly flags or have bumper stickers proclaiming my NORMAL sexual preference, so why is it necessary for homosexuals to do it? You mind your business and keep shit to yourself, and I won’t get in your business or share mine. Period. Sorry. End of rant.

lol he said he doesn't respect the millionaires, and billionaires.. because it was new money.. which means they earned it themselves. He's full of insecurities and bullshit.

@@Zhen-Lin-CHN = zipperhead:)

Scott Natale no he doesn’t, he’s super biased and doesn’t understand China well at all. He’s just bitter because he makes in his words “good content” complaining about China making it difficult for him to make this content. Sooner or later he’ll be blocked from entering China.

Me too , the sad part. Feels like a divorce.

Understood: those blonde gay, rice queen Swedes, looking for a dark haired gay Chinese partner are now out of luck...Xi put an end to that glorious Golden Age...

@Kvyn Gmbyr you're dumb.

Kvyn Gmbyr Honestly I feel the same is happening in America.

Nice Blade Runner reference!

@@alexisk8312 thanks

I always wondered what that forbidden city beyond the C-beams looked like..... Sigh. That was such an amazing scene.

I was thinking the exact same thing when I heard his first few sentences.

I had no problems with hotels when I went to China in April. First place I stayed at in Shanghai was very modern and clean, only 60 AUD/night

Cory R Yeah you would think foreigners would be just about the number 1 target demographic for hotels!

might get 1 forigner every 10 years, dont have the systems or knowledge of what to do

Racism is more important than business evidently.

Cory R well actually im tired of answering statement like yours. but i cant stand quiet when i saw someone wrote because chinese are racist. so this is the truth. china doesnt let every hotels freely to accept foreigners are for the safety of foreigners. they gave certificate of tourists destination for hotels with good service, never been reported with any crimes, etc. they know, in such big and overpopulated country like chine they must straight to keep foreigners safe. without the certificate , hotels that dare to accept tourists will be closed. so if a hotel owner wanted to get the certificate, he must keep his hotel in the standard of the certificate requirements. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH RACIST OR DISCRIMINATION

China is racist towards foreigners
