Debate with Simon Yu - China vs The West // (含中文字幕) 和Simon Yu一场关于中国与西方的辩论 

Reading the comments, it seems pretty clear Simon's views don't represent a significant number of Chinese people's views. Still, it is important to bring people with different opinions to hear them out, and challenge your audience for the sake of finding the truth (unlike a few China-bashing RU-vidrs who EXCLUSIVELY make anti-China videos). For that, I applaud this episode! Good work, and keep it up.

身為一個台灣人，非常不認同西方民主代議制度能有效管理一個擁有14億人口的大國，別說大陸了，光看台灣兩黨就可以把台灣玩成這副德性，就知道民主選舉制，尤其領導人，一個掌握國家未來發展生死存亡的大位，竟然是用民粹選出來的，想想都不寒而慄，中央只要不干擾人民生活財產，管理階層是否民主，並不重要。

I don't know about Simon Yu. The longer I live in the US, the more I see the homelessness on the streets, the more I appreciate Chinese Culture.

This person's opinion does not represent the majority of Chinese people, he said that Taiwanese people have better hygiene habits than Chinese people, Chinese people do not have the habit of washing their hands, in fact, in China since primary school teachers tell students to wash their hands frequently and keep clean. He can only represent himself. His claim that China's political system is inferior to the west is rife with western brainwashed prejudices.He said he was trying to get the world to know more about China, I don't know how such a person without his own judgment, blindly worshiped the west and knew nothing about politics, knew nothing about the Chinese cultural system, was full of prejudice against the Chinese government and was extremely self-abased can let the world know about China.

I don’t think this guy really understand politics in the west or China, I don’t really think the governments really listen to us the public in the west Ike how he imagined. I don’t think this guy really know the west, even though he studied there, like some of the chinese thinking too highly of the west. He is too innocent, or even stupid he doesn’t really understand the international situation. I think Chinese have more freedom of speech than what he thinks because he is trying to compare with the west, but he doesn’t know the impact of that speech. I heard so much changes was inspired by people’s voice from my friends in china, where in the west, I often found we can complain, but hardly see anything being done . And public don’t really believe reports as much, because opposition parties’ outlet would have different opinions most the time , except anti China. I think you( Barret) have a much better understanding of the world situation than this guy, and this is the first time ever I dislike your video.

Oversea Chinese here, I feel be misrepresented by Simon Yu. He tends think once all people get evolved into something(voting), all things can be better solved. Really? ? Look at Donald Trump in the US, Boris Johnson in the UK. Should China get a leader like these two?

Simon didn't answer the key question. He lacks in-depth understanding and perspective

腦子讀書讀壞了!! 千萬別讓公民普遍參與國家政治與政策制定!!那是制度的倒退,而不是進步!

Simon is too young to understand the complexity of political system. No system is perfect and it is a serious choice. If you follow US, you will see the same problem in HK where the capital control everything and ordinary person suffer. In China, the infrastructure is developed and living standards much improved for ordinary ppl because the capitalism cannot control this country.

Yu cannot represent the Chinese, He is so naive.

Too young, too simple, sometimes naive

Oversea Chinese here, I feel be misrepresented by Simon Yu. He tends think once all people get evolved into something(voting), all things (like poverty alleviation, etc.) can be magically better solved. Really?? Simple examples. Look at Donald Trump in the US, Boris Johnson in the UK. Should China get a leader like these two?

Interesting Talk. Being in the Us for 15 years, I think Simon’s understanding about the west is superficial, hence the comparison wouldn’t get to the root. I also think because Simon knows a little bit about how the westerns perceive China, so the intention of making a balanced view colored his points as western media machine made. Sorry,for me, he tried too hard. Next time,maybe invite someone who has no western exposure to see what that group of the Chinese (actually they will represent the majority of the Chinese) think of US vs China, at least their view will be pure.

American Chinese here! Born in China and moved to California and now back to China. Yikes, USA is not doing well, man. The core issue is actually exactly what this Chinese guy admires. Perhaps the "perfect democratic" system that he admires so much is all empty talks and bullying. I have much more freedom in China. Better foods, safety, progress, creating large infrastructure to benefit everyone at the expense of pissing a smaller percentage off. Sure, much better than regime change and sanctioning people like changing underware. I never wanted that and attended anti war protests. The government never listens to me! My pay was stuck at the same level forever and my government holds hands with corporations to suck my blood and I complained, they never listen to me. China stopped dead of the COVID and USA let it become air freshener.....I never approved that. What freedom? By the time I paid off all my expenses (not even spending disposable income), I got nothing left. No money no honey and no honey then no freedom. So what freedom? I want that damn fast trains built between L.A. and S.F., and L.A. and Vegas. Talked talked talked and even began some construction but price kept going up and some nice grandma selling tamale complained so the government switched to build F35s, which we already have a lot. They did not listen to me. And why are we always so scared, and poor? Ugly cities and ugly infrastructure with ugly around people who think they are the best but they have never been outside of Los Angeles. Freedom of speech? Yea, I have been shouting about dumb ass gun laws and merciless killings of citizens, particularly African Americans, yet it fucking happens ALL THE TIMES. Now if it does not happen something is really wrong. Human rightS? I saw a doctor once out of the 25 years in the U.S., and countless times in Shanghai, without purchasing expat health insurance, mind you. USA pulled out the UN Human Rights Council, so USA should not even be fxcking talking about human rights. Freedom of Press.....If you up the extremes of punishments and accountabilities, then there is no need to publish goofy things corrupt officials. In China, if you went over the board, chop chop. No stupid 29 years debates between two retarded "parties" and mountain of lawyer fees. That ass lick Colin Powell with the fake powder is having a really nice steak now. Dickie Cheney is fingering his wifes. Tony "devoted" Blair Flair farts a gallon of Middle Easter people's blood but still thinks he did the right thing. If the punishment from Geneva (Fancy boring self contradictory white place) international criminal court really does what it says, then both Saddam and Tony would be friendly cellmates. The whole "yes, pick a name from the list that you like because he looks smart, not traditional, charismatic, check it and toss it into this little plastic Box" election game is the most ridiculous! Every four years or less we will find out who is the real slut with attention deficit disorder who won't follow simple tasks such as mask wearing instructions. While I do not have any power to get rid of him but am told I have all the power to do so......Go vote more, find some loopholes, yes, you said it, no I didn't I misspoke. When impeachment is about to happen, some super rich daddies will fly in with hooked nose to bail me out.... Go Lee, great example of India! Even my India friends don't have much faith in India. I am just so sick and tired of being jerked around like a damn fool to believe that the West is the Best. NOOOOOOO, BOOO HOOO. And there lies so much problems because Hong Kong and Taiwan's educational system are controlled by anti China history twisters: China bad, West Good, China Bad, West Good, China Bad, West Good. I still remember that several years ago the queen of England complained about the Chinese visitors being rude. HeeeHeee, that bitch's castles were built by human bones, her crown is a Lego piece made up of all the jewels of countless countries like India that were rich before.....Just look at her stupid dogs that have a better lives than average Brits and she is so selfish and would not drop dead to give power to other people....."Pardon me......Pardon me.....Is that the world's biggest diamond? Oh dear, oh dear, it is mine now. " Here, I just bought some multi purpose dildos. Yea, the government knows.......So? They are super flexible high quality silicon made in China product and I am trying to help lift the country out of recession. What do Americans and the British and the goofy Kiwis and Kangarooreans down South have to hide? What? Hitler is still alive and JFK and Mao had intimate oral sex? What? The Earth is flat?

现阶段还是绝对不能开放油桶，绝对会导致重大的问题，国内的精美 精日 ，甚至 印吹 越吹 都多得很，觉对会搞处很多麻烦事儿。 有限度的开放VPN 让相对有判断力 有认识能力的人可以自由在油桶等平台发声就够了 ，油桶永远都是别人家的舆论主场，我们影响不了啥。

用中文说吧。很多年前我在上海混的时候，接到过政府某部门的调查问卷，当时忙着工作，并不上心。去年我住在一个三四线小城市，因为住的地方附近正在大开发，很多路面被大车压坏了，坑坑洼洼，导致我的驾车体验很差，于是试着拨打市长热线投诉。结果第二天深夜（第三天凌晨）回家时就看到有工人在施工了，而且当时是周末。周一早上去上班，路面改善了很多。其实也不是最近才这样，十多年前，我家附近十字路口，路边新建的草地挡住了斑马线，导致你要么绕过去、要么踩草坪，我妈说这太蠢了，于是打电话给电视台，结果电视台真报道了，然后市政部门立刻过来整改了。 中国很多地方的政府对问题的响应都非常及时，官员会主动下到基层，也会搞很多走访调查。老百姓有什么要抱怨的，也有很多有效的渠道。像上面说的我的经历，对于身边的小问题，你可以打12345、可以找媒体，对于大一点的问题，你可以找社区反映，再大一点的问题，根据其性质，可以找人大或政协帮你，对于腐败问题，可以找纪委匿名检举……如果这些都不管用，还有信访的渠道给你压轴。 很多被西方洗脑的人，想问题真的太肤浅，天真的以为手里有票、能选人就是民主，以为有选票才有权利。其实，重要的不是“那个人是你、是大家选出来的”，而是“那个人听你的声音，帮你、帮大家做事”，否则，你觉得“那个人是选上去的，结果他只帮资本家做事”这样算不算民主？

When he is talking about people always want more, and he thought in the west people get to involve to make decision for the government.. ... Oh my god.... I want to debate with him ...

I have similar background with Simon: I got my master degree in US, and now working in China. I saw the changes in China, but have great confidence with Chinese political system.

l will say simon knows nothing about Chinese government

I've watched a handful of SImon's video, as a Chinese myself, his version of China portrayed in youtube is still presented through a westerner's view of China, the only difference is he's a native Chinese speaker, his understanding of China or at least his portrayal of China is still skin deep. his ultimate view still rest on "The West is right and China should be more like the West because they are right" as to why he thinks a western model is right for China or even objectively the right way, he never mentions why.

12:05 Simon, if you want to involve in making decisions for the country, then you should fight for the opportunity. No one in China was born to have the power of making decisions for China. If you want that power, then you should serve your people to become a representative first. If your people like you, trust you, and elect you to be their representative, then you can involve in making decisions for the country.

SImon。在中国被看作是一个小公知。他一方面享受着国家的进步，尤其是在上海。一边又在羡慕西方的政治体制的个人权利。但问题是你想要西方式的个人权利，你就得不到你现有的物质基础的具大进步。印度就是个很好的例子。

Lol if you wana compare political systems, you have to compare country economy, growth, happiness index, infrastructure, technology, stability, security etc. The result is the proof whether the political system is working. My own opinion is China is doing great

I don't agree with the political system part. In the global pandemic, we have witnessed the strength and determination of Chinese government. It shows the advantages of its political system. On the other hand, we also witnessed how the western political system coped with the covid 19.

This is a great video! Awesome points made Lee. Best video ever from the Barrett boys! The shots was so cool and super crisp. Color graden is off the charts.

作为一个中国90后，我个人认为中国的的政治体制并不比西方的差，我觉得这个中国人压根就没真正的理解政治

Lee has a good assessment of Western and China (live in China for more than 17yrs) and can give a better comparisons. Simon is still young...too naive.

I can tell you that the wrong person you are interviewing... simply he is 輪子as Chinese people will call him.

this yu is just using other big youtubers to grow his own account by agreeing people like SerpentZA. Simon yu was disgusting when SerpentZA recommended his video(content) to every China hahers.

Mr Barrat, I have been enjoying your videos. Simon always said about Huawei transparency, but how about Apple, Face Book?

CIA and NED love this guy 😂

这上海哥们还是太年轻，对治国的理解有点浅薄。。。14亿人，你代表不了所有人，那么多人连温饱都还是问题，如果把他的出身放到山区农村，你可以问问他想吃饱饭还是想治国。。。

国家层面的战略决策或者是经济决定本就不是一般人参与做决策的，难道你要一位普通上班族去参与货币政策的制定？？？

Any political regimes have flaws and people will always complain about the governments because governmental decisions and policies can't benefit everyone equally per se. The universal function of government is to sustain social order. Schooling is instrumentalized by the government to construct "model citizens" who show obedience to certain rules and norms. It is implausible to force China to fully implement the exact same Eurocentric model of liberal democracy because it just won't work for China's unique situation. Undoubtedly, more Chinese people are aware of Western democracy due to globalization. Likewise, more Chinese people do realize cons of one-party state, such as limited freedom of expression, censorship and so forth. However, they also clearly know that infusion of Western democracy will merely stir more social chaos and the society will end up being highly divided, what's worse, it can lead to barbarism again. China can spend time figuring out whatever works best for their people at each stage. There are more important issues China need to resolve before buying into the Eurocentric idea of democracy and freedom. For instance, education and juridical systems also need to be transformed more progressively as well. US politicians and media keep downplaying China, demonizing one-party regime and twisting factual information because they might not be able to boss around or "bully" other countries so they deliberately conjure up the doctrine that China's communist ideology will also "invade" the whole world as the economy keeps growing. In fact, they are afraid of impairing the "legitimacy" of white hegemony and post-colonial power structure. Some people denounce China's CCP for a lack of human rights or humanity. Are the rights of African Americans are protected fairly? There is no perfect political regime. In China, CCP has the most power to decide what benefit the nation and people the most. In US, affluent groups use their power to pick the party that can represent their interests the most. Yes, both of them sorta suck, but that's the reality. Some people gain, some people lose and some even sacrifice themselves. Nowadays, human rights, democracy and freedom seem to serve certain political ends.

I would like to be more frank and say that this young man has gradually separated from the Chinese model, which is very bad. This interview absolutely does not represent the views of most Chinese people.

I don't like this Simon Yu guy, blocked his video several month before

不是我地图炮，但是上海这种立场奇奇怪怪的人真的很多，我公司（国企）里，尤其体制内，还是党员，立场特别歪。我想了想，可能越是精致的利己主义者越是入党，然后又把西方那一套学得淋漓尽致吧……

Simon, you should remember that China was never a democracy for all its time. If you want to vote or have your so-called"White System" go back to the US. You are a little too young to comprehend the in-depth of your country system. Every country got issues with its system of government but putting the people wellbeing is more beneficial. The current system for China works for them! Thanks for the initiative Lee, even though he's too young to understand.🙂

I hope to see more Chinese youtubers, but not the ones like Simon. He seems to talk in an adult way, but with a childish mind. He was simplifying the situations in China. Shanghai is one of the most developed part of China, and he was living in the best conditions in China. The development of China is far from enough, and it is very dangerous if any mistakes were made for this country during development. Importantly, very few people know the country enough to make decisions for the people. If he thought that his decision is really important for the country, try to work for the goverment and understand how each decision was made there before judging. Bad decisions were made everywhere, a lot of them were made here in demoncratic countries. In China, you may complain the goverment, and goverment must take the responsibility and improve themselves. In west, as voters, you must take the concequences by yourselves, like what happened in Brexit.

Hey Simon, may i ask a question? Iran is more democratic than Saudi Arabia, why was the former, rather than the later, got sanction from US?

Watched a couple of his vlogs. Came across as a person very easily influenced like those H.K. youths. Also noticed some of the commenters that patted him like a dog whenever his opinions supported their negative views of China. He's the kind that can be had by those CIA working now in H.K. controlling those young kids.

It was Socrates who was voted to death. The people at the bottom simply do not have the capacity to make decisions for the country. The most powerful person in China is the National People's Congress, not the Chinese Communist Party. The National People's Congress has the right to consider government reports, amend the Constitution, appoint and remove the President of the State, etc.

This guy Simon Yu is the sort as SerpentZA, he does not represent us Chinese. Out of all people you picked this guy, I give a thumb down.

This buddy lives in his imagination of Western society. Even in the current epidemic situation sweeping the world, he still has not given up his illusion of Western democratic society. Perhaps his Taiwanese girlfriend has a great influence.

中国在发展， 但是我不管，我就是要投票我就是要参政。 考公务员啊，沙雕！ 不然就用好自己的基础票。

Simon Yu understanding of the west is simply superficial, completely wasting of time listening to him lol

无语，如果要去参与到中华振兴的进程，Simon你可以去考公务员呀，可以去参政呀，不忘初心去完成你想要改变的东西呀，别跟我说这太难了，如果你有这样的想法，我鄙视你

Hope we can talk next time, I am located in shenzhen, I travel many places in the world than this guy! I have total different opinions with this guy!

Now everyone finally sees how ppl see Simon, on his comment section in his own channel he leaves most comments with pro Simons view and deletes most neutral and most, if not all anti Simon point of view comments. I hope Simon grows up and stops censoring his comment section.

The more this Yu babble on, the more we see the contrast of experience and wisdom between him and the much matured and well-seasoned Barrett.

I had seen Simon's video before and I don't enjoy it a little bit. If you listen to his comments here, you see he have got a very narrow view and he sees things in a linear perspective in terms of how the world should progress, ie: he sees the West defined as the 'progressive' 'developed' ones while China and the rest are not as good yet. He don't think that maybe, perhaps, there are 2 ways of doing things....never did it crosses his mind that perhaps, the Western way of managing a country, isn't the best... Many times you see Lee have a differing views and he says he agree that China have good infrastructure, improve no more thieves or whatever, but in the end, he still sees that Western ways is better. It totally makes no sense to say he agrees China have no more thieves and things improves, while in UK there are thieves (which I had personally seen one stealing things in a Pret a Manger before), and yet in Simon's view UK have a better system and it is a developed country and China should become like the UK. Makes no sense at all. And then the last part, about Huawei, you see, Simon was counter by Lee that all those things he talks about how Huawei not transparent and it's causing anxiety to the West, but it never crosses his mind that the West are being hypocrite. Instead he was kinda like saying....yea, I know the west do that (spying by tech company) too, but you know, it was different, it was the West. West should be entitled to do that, you know, they spy for the good, China spying (even though there weren't any proven) is bad, bad for people, because it's China, we are no good, we have not reach the West standards yet so our spying is bad. He might be the victim of western media, and I have absolutely no interest to hear Western CIA propaganda being repeated in my ears. So I'm not following Simon's channel.

You found the wrong guy to discuss this topic! You should get someone having more knowledge and macro observation like Zhang Weiwei

I was young before, young guys actually are not aware that their thinking is not mature enough, they do want to be heroes and dream about decision power over everything without any fear of fail! But when u reach the age around 40 , u will know that you are not that excellent to take those responsibilities with the consequences. Giving the political power to amateur people is a crime.

I don't like this person,what he said is too one-sided,he doesn't understand China and western countries At all.

This video clearly show people in China can criticize and point out flaws in their government, without being arrested or disappear.

Simon Yu the most objective/neutral Chinese person because he also talk about the bad of China. If so, why his target audience mostly anti-Chinese?

Unfortunately, this young man's perspective on the problem is not comprehensive enough. Like the young people who marched on Tiananmen Square in 1989, he did not make judgments based on China's actual conditions.

Simon just have it in mind that all aspects of the US is advanced. He wants to live a life that the US recognized as 'good'.

Before sustaining most of people’s lives and transiting from poverty to wealth, it’s waste of time to talk about democracy, more precisely, it’s voting right for each individual. Look at the surrounding countries, India , Philippines...voting power doesn’t guarantee you essential needs of life, disallocation of resource results in bigger economical gap between people, the richer get richer, the poorer get poorer. For pushing massive infrastructures nation wide, a strong one -party government has better advantage. Bipartisan countries have so much conflicts and interest involved, most plans would be delayed, postponed for years as political parties fight each other’s. These issues simply cannot be solved by voting rights from people. It’s tricky to liberate your political involvement or to liberate your economy to enhance your quality of life.

😂😂😂This Chinese guy made me thinking of the brainwashed protesters & rioters in hk...west is always the best, the superior. He got potential to be one of those so called HKers😏

Naive, I kinda waste my time watching this 😑

Simon Yu can you imagine if everyone in China have a voice in deciding how government should run , I think if you are interested you should go work in the government.

😅CIA需要这个yellow guy

Very good discussion/interview. I really love Simon Yu. I think I found him because he did a video with SerpentZA back a while ago. Simon, to me, is a very smart young man wise beyond his years! I hope he goes far in the youtube world and he is, most definitely, a credit to his country and his generation.❤ Good luck, Simon. I feel a bit smarter after subscribing to your channel! I am more than just a little impressed!!!

Simon have a master degree from US and returned to China. He think his education background is better than the government local officials. His limited experience restricted his scope of thinking. This happened for all young generation. People don't aware that many government officials studied abroad or trained by Howard University professors.

Don't usually comment here but I have to say I am really happy to see that Simon joined to the talk although I have largely opposite opinion about his view. It's vital to communicate with people with different options and background who may get information in different sources and view the world very different from you. No matter if you agree with each other or not the more communication both ways, the better world.

simon yu is no differnt from serpentza and laowy86.

A great video a really interesting perspective thanks to your friend wishbhim well.

视频开头我感觉好像见过这个人，有一点印象。慢慢想起我曾经看过Simon Yu的视频，后来我把他的频道拉黑了，因为我非常不认同他的看法

非常棒的交流。大家都尽量客观的表达对方方面面事物的看法。希望多点这样的视频哦。点赞！

I think Simon is ignorance. I was born in a very poor village of north China. I have to say that China has improved a lot in both politics and economy. By working hard, I have a chance to go to the University and buy an apartment in Shanghai. Shanghai gives me great opportunities to do what I to do regardless where I came from. That is true freedom. But Simon seem to hold a dangerous perspective, if Chinese do as Westerns do, Westerns will appreciate us. That indeed put cart before the horse. In this pandemic, even after the lockdown of Wuhan, Westerns still hold the opinion that it is not transparent in China. Incapable Trump government doesn’t think he should take any responsibility. In China, we don’t have so bad government like Trump government. Even after 10,000 people died in America, Trump pretend to care about Hong kong. I believe Chinese can earn other respects by doing our work well. Westerns only respect us because what we accomplish.

I won't comment on Simon's perspective because he has right to think in his way. But I will praise Barrett. You definitely made many thorough research to see the advantages and disadvantages of two systems. I appreciate it

People can't help government to make the decisions unless most people have high level education!!!!!!! So this Chinese guy wants to take part in the government work is understandable! But it's not now! In other word, if he wants to be a member of government, he could take part in the exam! Don't complain! I don't want to see some stupid people vote for some important things

Barrett, so glad to have western friend like you who knows and appreciate China better then a local Chinese . China has its problems just like many other countries but lifting millions out of extreme poverty is a significant achievement for the humankind . Young Simon should have a bit of appreciation to his motherland

He is too subjective, apparently influenced by western media and his Taiwanese wife. He yearned for freedom, but he did not realize that there was no such thing as absolute freedom. Look at the way the police treated protesters in "free" America.

Simon is like other guys who think they know so much, but in reality, their knowledge is quite limited. Just like Simon, he thought too high himself. He has no idea at all how Chinese governments make decisions. There are public surveys, local representatives meetings, public hearings for all major decisions. He just didn't do his research how to be part of it, just too lazy to do more studies. There are numerous channels to give opinions to the government, if you are really passionate about public governance, just do it. Don't be lazy, especially if you want to give valuable suggestions to the government, you can't be lazy, you need to study in so many aspects to give one suggestion. Public governance is a serious business, OK? Not kiddy game.

Please don’t pick up the wrong person to interview, I love your program don’t let them damage it ... Best regards from Australia and if I am in Shanghai also you & your son I love to taking you both for dining out 😊🙏🏻👌

This is a proper intellectual discussion. Very informative. Thank you both!

WTH, Chinese doing only RU-vid not doing any Chinese platform, that show what is Simon target audiences are!! To be honest I never watch him, but by the 1st minute of this interview I kinda know what his content are.... feel free to correct me, but I don’t think I’m gonna give his channel a try!!

Your guest seems to understand China and the West very well pointing out the advantages and disadvantages of both systems. Very good interview! 👍👍👍

This dude should migrate to the west since he loves freedom to talk in the west but I just wonder why he comes back to China?

This is one of the best interview l have seen in my whole 50 years of life. I am an African living in the Netherlands. Keep up the good work man. The world is watching !!

他是Serpentza 的关门弟子，南非蛇在诋毁完中国大陆，献媚完台湾后，极力推荐了他。称他这种人才是中国的未来！

Wow, two of my favorite guys doing a video together. This was very informative and I much appreciate it. You fellows are doing a great job in helping people around the world understand the real China.

This guy can not represent the views of the Chinese people

Wow this is a so well-made video. We need more like this instead of videos spreading rumor, bias and hate to get more clicks. thank you barret.

We still have red book today， but now it's an app called 小红书 .lol

Very sensible conversation about topics we heard about in a manipulated and subjective way in the Western Media. I believe the media seeks for impactful stories that creates sides and separation, so they use any country that does not follow a Western style democracy to elaborate messages of condemnation that promote narrow-mindness. We must understand that different cultures evolve differently, respect, and accept each nation's developmental stages, instead of falling into unfounded petty criticism. Keep making these videos, I am addicted now!

If you ask me to participate in national policy making, then I would say it is just like you are asking a bus driver to teach high school student math knowledge,

One year is a long time. So many things changed completely!

Simon Yu is a friend of serpentza. He always share this guys video

A balanced interview without political dogma. Very good

Thank you for exposing him.

I love it when you do collaboration videos

Simon represents the upper-middle-class neoliberal demographic in China. Like upper-middle-class neoliberals in any country, they are a small but vocal demographic. As much as SImon may be accurate to varying extents on the various issues discussed, his views are nonetheless not representative of the "average" Chinese person.

It was a very interesting debate to hear both sides.

This Mr. Simon's wife is Taiwanese! !

Hi! I’ve been watching your videos for a while now, thanks for the quality content you’re bringing us. If you see this comment, do you think it’s possible to make a video in future about the anti-China RU-vidrs like laowhy86? What do you think about them and their views? Thank you and keep up the great work!

Simon's view in the US is apparently in the honeymoon period. Not a fan of his view at all.

The RU-vid post is the new standard of freedom in Western Liberal Democracy. Few of its Eastern admirers notice Western Democracy’s scorn for the truth, its gerrymandered elections, its voter suppression, its mass incarceration, its endless wars, its total disinterest in you, your future, anything about you, anything about your country, or any concern for the survival of humankind. Simon, you only think of one word “freedom” and imagine, “My wonderful voice will be heard! Then the world will change!” The voice of the hero! The ignornt disconnected savior. Simon, this is not democracy, but narcissism. It will change nothing.
