Do foreigners in China still have questions about China?? (yes they do) 

What other questions do YOU have about life/food/habits in China? And if you have answers for the questions in the video, please let us know in the comment section below!

The words "grandmother" 外婆and "grandfather" 外公do not mean discrimination, they are just to distinguish the mother's family from the father's family. We eat fish with bones because basically all the fish we produce in China are of this kind. Ancient China was a land-based country, and the bones of animals were also very nutritious for our growth(we Chinese think so). The heating systems in the north and south of China are different. The north is the hot air system暖气,炕kàng and the south is the stove 火炉. China's diverse ingredients and cooking practices originate from China's unified multi-ethnic regional culture and hard-working Chinese people.😊

dear 老外. 外 also means distant. in the content of 外婆, it actually means grandma that lives in distant. traditionally, women are married far away from their home, even in the case of nearby, the wife usually lives and joins with the husbands family. when the child is born, the grandparents from mother's side will be in distant. that is how the name implies, about distance not "foreign". 外公外婆 （grandparents）are definitely part of the family and 親人.

I can answer the question about why the heater is only available in the Northern part of China. So easy! Because we want to save energy and reduce carbon emissions. The heater system burns coals. Consider the population. If everywhere use a heater, the pollution goes worse. The north part of China and South's temperatures in winter vary so much. I have traveled all over the world, and I want to say that the whole world's judges on China's pollution go against humanity since they don't see how much effort average Chinese made compared to the other countries like U.S., UK, Australia...... if individuals' contributions take into account, the blamers should keep silent for good. I always get shocked when I see how people waste energy and food when I am out of China......🥺 But what Chinese can do? We are all the same creatures; just because of the population density, we shouldn’t be wealthy, but we should purchase! How does that happen? 🥺

Glad to see your videos again. Keep going!

Nice video & topic! I’m so happy to see more foreigners like China! Keep up your good work!

哈哈哈，都很有意思的问题。期待末尾的亮叔彩蛋👍

Thank you for sharing the love around. Thank you!

One of your funniest episodes and a very revealing one at that!

Nice channel....great content as well. I like it ! It seems like a big international family having a good time in China. Keep up the good work connecting people. One love bro!

‘I’ve been here for a long time…’ He meant at the bar, right?! :D

中國人認為在煮肉類時保留骨頭的話令到肉質更為美味。另外，也有不少人喜歡啜骨頭。

I like the background music , trumpet sounding is really cool, bringing an energetic vibe around this video.

You guys haven’t updated for long time. Have been waiting, waiting… Lol Finally gets the new clip. :)

终于更新了！

Ychina is such a great channel, always such interesting topics

That football question... damn critical hit.

"Mian Zhe" means face. To give someone "means zhe" basically means to give consideration to others, to have empathy for others. "Foreign grandparents" refers to grandparents on mothers side. Westerners literarily translated directly from Chinese. There are many Chinese expressions the meaning of which just can't be translated literally. To "beat down someone " means to defeat someone. Not to physically beat up someone. Foreigners shouldn't try to translate Chinese expressions without proper knowledge. If the translation makes no sense, it's because the foreigner did it wrong!

Love this channel

OK.If life is happy, everyone is happy together, so it doesn't matter😂

Why leave the bone in the chicken is a good question. It’s because it taste better. It’s similar to steak or pork chop with bones. The meat adjacent to the bone is tender and juicy. A chicken is best when slow cook whole to well done or 90%. Fish is a different matter, a lot of them are river fish that are small and boney. The bones cannot be removed before cooking. But think of all the things you can do practicing your tongue skills. Go get some Chinese kisses and find out.

Personally I don't like the term "Foreign Grandma" either, this is mostly used in the southern part of China. I much prefer the term being called in the northern part, "Lao Lao" & "Lao Ye". Grandparents from different sides don't have to share the same addressing to establish equality. Matter of facts, all relatives are being categorized with much more precision and details than in the west. However, the word foreign does sound like it's bit more distant, more dividing, and less involving...Even when "foreign" might not be the true explanation of the name, but the chance of it being misunderstood is just not worth it. I think the root cause of this word, is the fact that females were once considered to "distant" to her birth family after marriage. Similar as explicitly changing family names in the west, Chinese women, in the past days, were predominantly regarded as member of her husband's family after marriage. To put it simply, she would become a leaf node in the family tree of her birth parents., and her bloodline continues only in her husband's genealogy archive. Things definitely change, and daughters are being cherished no less than the boys these days. As for me, I think these terms can be changed too, but people are just getting so used to it, to the point that they don't double think about the word as "adjective + noun". Most just treated it like a fixed term and that's it.

The「外」in「外婆」means “outside”, NOT “foreign”. In a paternalistic concept, “maternal” - as in “maternal grandmother” - is indeed considered「外」- it does NOT imply any farther distance than a “paternal” grandmother, but is to specify the relationship in subject. The American woman here, sounding critical, is obviously stereotypically ignorant and arrogant.

5:03 the guy asked a very very good question.

You always have the best questions

Question with German school system: Yes, German school system is much easier. I switched from Abitur to IB Diploma and it is so much harder. German Abitur is a joke

Great video

对于未来的中美关系我是抱着悲观的态度的，中国要崛起，美国要统治全球，美国失去科技和军事的优势就会走向穷凶极恶的反扑，势必要走向对立，这次疫情就可以看出来，全国在合作的地区屈指可数，美国带来的是生物实验室，是高价疫苗，是价值对立，是种族歧视，是贫富差距，是后疫情时代的金融危机，是战争的阴影和肮脏的阴谋，中美必将走向对立，而中国也必将战胜美国，团结全世界，自古得道者多助，失道者寡助，我们都是见证历史的一代

关于暖气这件事，我作为北方人可以解答一下。在中国北方，冬季长期处于零下，零下气温时期能维持3-5个月，-20℃-30℃都是常有的事情。在北方，如果没有暖气，为了活命，就需要家家户户自己燃烧木材，煤炭来取暖（空调要达到类似的效果开销会大量增加）。在南方，虽然也会冷，但是这种冷还是能够克服的，至少不致命。所以出于环保，经济的综合考虑下，只有北方采取了集中供暖的方式来保证民生。其它地区每年最冷的时间不超过1-2个月，集中供暖的建设维护成本远超于自行采暖的成本。

As a Chinese myself, it’s so interesting to hear people with different cultural backgrounds share their views about China and Chinese.

For the bones in fish, once you know the anatomy of a fish it is very easy to eat it without ever picking out a bone. There's always a technique to these things.

4:40 that’s one goood questions, I’d love to see the answer from my Chinese bothers and sisters!!!

May the world be peaceful, healthy and happy

We have got the same question for men's football as well.

外 is an attribute to describe and define 婆 is not from our family. Coz in China most of kids named after father, so kid and father are in the same clan, then kids will call mother's mum is 外婆 means grandma from another clan. Vice versa, in particular circumstance, if kid named after mother, the kid will call father's mum 外婆.

This was a nice episode. 👏🏻 🍚 🐟

why are there never any cold drinks, even their fridges in stores the sodas in the fridge is ... Room temp aaah. this is so frustrating during summer in Chengdu which is pretty humid and terribly hot.

I just like to reiterate here that Chinese prefer to have the meat with the bones intact because of taste and nutrition. Many people here have answered this question. Actually, on the other hand, Chinese usually ask why do Westerners remove all the bones in something which Westerners think is the obvious thing to do. Imagine your fried chicken wings without the bones. Sometimes, Chinese debone the meat but you still have the flavors of the bones. 其实中国人吃的比西方人还要有讲究的多了，比如中国人用筷子就是最好的一件事了！

I'm Chinese. We Chinese and colleagues don't usually show our unhappiness. When we show it, it means it's time to do something.

Cool bro 👍

哈哈来个高佑思和竹内亮互相采访？

It's very interesting to investigate the emerged feelings. I somehow get annoyed by the questions of some of them and feel comfort with some other opinions. As I start to realize, many times we may think those are very "stupid" questions, but since we never thought about it we never asked why about it, that's why people get annoyed, because we don't know how to answer. But I also have to say that, being sensitive to sarcasm and with China that has been criticized unfairly for so many years by the western mainstream media, maybe the sensitivity towards the sarcasm comes exactly from there. It's what stops me from a conversation where maybe I was ready to reveal lots of different points of view and insights. I think everyone would feel the same in a similar circumstance. Maybe at the end it's not really because of the question but has to do with a certain kind of attitude. Still navigating into it..

👍👍👍

4:20 That's a questions the entire Chinese population would like to have answered as well.....

Best questions to Chinese Gen Z! As a Chinese born in the 70s', I also want to ask!

Regarding 外, it is something to do with our inheritage system, 父传子家天下，the asset and the name will only inherited to sons, especially for the empire Kings. That is why we call Kings' wive family as 外戚，also, means they are out of the range of the King's power's candidates' list, in other words, they are away from the power. So, in a word, 外 was not only for foreign, and in fact, foreigners, being used as a term, 外国人，was coming out very late and recent

Why is there heating in south China and no heating in north China? I'm Chinese. I'll answer because it will be very cold in winter in northern China and not too cold in southern China. South China has a tropical climate, so the south doesn't need heating, and the air conditioners in southern China don't need to buy heating effects.

Bones add sweetness and more umami to the dish when cooked together. Actually It isn't that hard to eat fish with bones. There are ways of removing the meat from the main spine so that only few of the bones would detach. The positives of eating fish with some bones still in it, is that whilst you will have to eat it on its own (to avoid choking on a bone), it allows you to better savour and appreciate the delicate sweetness of its flesh. In many parts of the world, people would cook meat with bones in them. Most Western countries have everything filleted and sanitised for them into a headless, boneless nondescript piece of meat.

Chinese culture all revolve around dinner table. If you understand the dinner table, you understad Chinese people.

很有趣的影片👍

omg it's Ryo Takeuchi!

5:36 好问题，我也超喜欢茄子。 歪果仁总是有各种有趣的话题。

What city was this filmed in?

❤️

is there a part 2?

Food culture is part of the civilization of a country. China has about 5 K yrs of history therefore her food culture must be sophisticated as well, its ways of cooking and way of grabbing food and eating. Chopsticks must have been used long long time ago. It reflects what kind of food they eat and how they think about grabbing food sending into mouth. If you eat hotpot you definitely cannot use your bare hands to grab food and fork or spoon won't work well either. Just looking at how many different cooking styles and dishes on Chinese tables you can have a pretty good idea about this country's civilization level in a historical perspective.

下一集訪問亮叔嗎？😁

哈哈哈🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣好有意思

外公外婆comes from外家，which is also called 娘家，外家means the other home/another home of the wife,. Because in China, a woman married normally lives with her husband's family, so her born family is called 外家，still her family, but another one, not the one she is actually living with. So everybody from this other family will be called 外。外公外公外祖父母外孙外外甥....

Completely agree with fishbones.... Soooo. Hughhhhh. It kills the pleasure

bruh hahahahaahheheheehehe lmaooooooooooooooooo

That Leica man knows everything！

wow...I mean wow..I think their mandarin is even better than I do even though I am Chinese born in other country. Unbelievable😂😂😂

Why? Because the chef is NOT going to be able to debone a carp! Lol.

So what is Ychina's opinion on the China vs Taiwan Independence conflict?

The title should have been , Do rich and wealthy foreigners still have questions in China.

🥰🥰🥰

some questions are reaaaally deep

this was very fun to watch?

interesting

又看到星悦了哈哈哈哈

for most of the people who hate the place but keep living in China the reason, per my experience, is simply job and salary.

last one is 亮！

Bones in soup provides high level of calcium

哈哈哈哈哈怎么还有亮叔😂

brother your video very funny, ......................

If the local chinese treat all the foreigners the same way as they treat other locals, the foreigners impression on China/Chinese will be completely different...

之前在和之夢只是說說可以找高祐思，沒想到真的找了呢。

男足扎心了....哈哈哈哈哈 🙃

生者为过客，死者为归人，天地一逆旅，同悲万古尘！

女主持人說話的聲音好好聽

哈哈，竹内亮介绍怎么分辨中国人还是日本人的视频有没？

☕️👍🌹

朋友来了有好酒~~

That drunk Aussie dudu...Wtf

谁把外婆翻成foreign grandma? 外here merely means maternal side. 我们可以从称呼知道得清清楚楚人的关系，不像英文，aunt, uncle，cousin在我们这儿需要分成几十个很清楚的称谓。

That lady is obsessed with eggplants. Lol

片尾竹内亮叔叔乱入~

Not foreign grandma. It is maternal grandma, not a direct ancestral line.

if you talk about football,let`s end this conversation

😂😂😂😍😍😍🌷🌷🌷👌👌👌👍👍👍

football team?do we actually have one ?

Is it easy to become a police officer in china? or do you need some guanxi

Foreign is call different ... Country Human . Grandma have 2 each is father 's mother and mother 's mother . In China father's mother is call Grandma but Mother's Mother has another name for 区分 different Mother . And China has a man Rights of Culture Country that Father is main of family . So Mother's Mother has another name but it is not call Foreign ! 此外不是彼外。So if father is main = first , mother is second . So 外婆 is Second Grandma .

Chinese cooking of meat or fish with bones because they can be more tasty. Westerners eat fish without bones because they do not know the tricks of eating fish or maybe they are use to having someone to debone them since young. Do they eat sadines without bones?

最好問題出現啦！連外國朋友都不明白投資這麼多資源中國男足比以前還更差，

Fish bones in soup is very very dangerous man......

星悅好美
