This report deserved better than the clickbait title it was given. I almost didn't click on it, but I'm glad I did. Seeing how people live in rural China was very interesting.
Yes, the moment you realize this deep in your Soul.... your humanity heart has grown three times. Travel..... Get out to see other cultures, traditions, and laws.
I'm very impressed with this report, and saying something positive about a CNN story was not something I would've expected of myself this morning. Very glad I watched this, and Selina Wang did an outstanding job with her work on this project. KEEP HER EMPLOYED, CNN!!!
[Qin Hui: The closest thing to China's urban and rural dual registered residence system is the former apartheid system of South African whites against blacks. The common characteristics behind them are the inequality of low human rights, no property rights and public services.] The most fundamental reasons behind China's registered residence system are three inequalities: the first is the inequality of human rights, especially the lack of secure housing and residency rights for Chinese migrant workers in cities. The second issue is unequal property rights, as the land of Chinese farmers is not their true property and belongs to collective land owned by the state. The third issue is inequality in public services, where government officials, senior officials, urban residents, and farmers enjoy a huge gap in unfair social welfare benefits. Today, China's negative welfare system has increased the wealth gap and urban-rural polarization. Especially in the context of economic globalization in the 21st century, China's negative welfare system and low human rights advantages have become even greater. This has led to the exploitation and enslavement of the vulnerable groups of most of China's lower class farmers, resulting in the emergence of red sweatshops that exploit Chinese migrant workers more than capitalist sweatshops. If free and democratic countries around the world cannot unite to exert pressure on the Chinese government to improve the human rights and welfare treatment of Chinese migrant workers, then the labor welfare treatment of free and democratic countries will be affected and they will have to lower their human rights and welfare treatment to align with Chinese migrant workers. For a government with unlimited power, unlimited accountability can be exercised until it cannot bear it. The way out for China still lies in a gradual and peaceful transformation, with two key points: first, limiting the government's power; Secondly, the common people should vigorously seek welfare from the government. By achieving these two points, the ideal constitutionalism and democracy will also come. I think pressure can be continuously applied in both aspects. Gradually improve one thing at a time. The biggest problem that ultimately leads to the current system is the problem of too much power and too little responsibility, constantly being compressed. When it comes to matching power and responsibility, China's political system changes-- Qin Hui
@@holiday8473not sure I agree. To overthrow communism usually requires rebellion, revolution, and bloodshed on both sides; at least history shows us this whether it succeeded or not.
This video illustrates just how fundamentally similar we all are, regardless of where we live in the world. We just want our children to be given the opportunities to succeed, and to be able to live in peace. Such a simple formula. This is a heartwarming video. God bless the Chinese people, from the UK.
There are many nationalists in China. That's what it means to be insensitive to racism. For example, there are many chinese people who believe that the Chinese are the best in the world
Yeah, but we cannot have multicultural societies. It erupts in chaos and destroys our countries and traditions. Look at Europe. This is just the fundamental level, family and community, but life is much more complex than that.
Yes a moving video of actually getting out in a country and talking to the people. This is the way reporters of ALL networks should be doing in the US. AND THEY ARE NOT doing so. They only report about people who support their and their political parties narratives. This is a major disgrace of all networks and especially CNN, MSNBC and FOX. A moving video that will increase CNN's viewership is all they are looking for. US not so much.
Thank you for the coverage! The village, the buildings, the dinner, and the smile on people’s face, this is how rural people live in China. Perhaps for many Chinese too. Hard-working, humble and willing to take a lot for their families.
Don't you just love how CNN twists its narratives? Assuming regular people as 'ccp officials' is the most baffling thing I've ever seen and heard. This fake news organization has been debunked many many times but still spreads worst than covid. Check out this similar fake title a couple of years ago covered by David Culver here in RU-vid and you'll laugh. _"CNN finds stranded Uyghur children in China"_ Here's the same original 'undoctored' version _"Uygur family disturbed by CNN reporters asks son to return home"_
@TD DZ United Satans of AmeriKKKa is very powerful and wealthiest country on earth. But, you will find hundreds of thousands if not millions poor, homeless, jobless, penniless, low educated, drug-addicts on the streets everywhere!! So?? Where all the money goes?? At least in China, the bad evil "CCP" successfully eradicate abject poverty and lifted out 800 millions of Chinese from poverty!! In United Satans of AmeriKKKa, there are around 40-45 millions people living under poverty line!! They can't afford to pay rent, utility bills, education and healthcare!! So???
@@chenge221 Yes, it is. But you are not entirely correct. The correct name is CPC, Communist Party of China, or Civilization Party of China to be precise!!
Thank you for showing us this wonderful portrait of a traditional Chinese village and its inhabitants. These are people whom everyone would like to know and value as friends.
Have you seen the interview more than3 minutes? The government are literally surveillance the interviewer and even physically took a girl away in the middle of the interview. I won’t call it wonderful
It's so sad that they don't see their children for an entire year. 😢 I flew across the continent for work and it was hard being away from my 3-yr old for even a month or two at a time. I hope they at least have video chat.

I agree with you. It’s interesting also when even the reporter needs an interpreter sometimes because she said the villagers have their own language. I think some of the elders did not speak Mandarin spoken by the reporter.
@@straycatttt2766 Not many elders speak mandarin in Yunnan , they often have to use their children as translators, that of course China has done a good job of near 100% literacy rate (providing on campus weekday housing if very rural) and teaching one common national language.
I love old city and village, especially southeast asia and asian roof style, i remember when i visit west sumatra indonesia village called "Rumah seribu gadang Solok". most of the village still in traditional architecture, in Java Island i have visit "kampung majapahit" and 'Kampung naga" and one in Malaysia in Melaka "kampung morten melaka", the village today become more smaller and smaller. and replace with european and modern style architecture.
😒 Yes, much easier to help spread CCP propaganda that way. This is just one ethic group among the 1000 like recent Tibet that China conquered, absorbed, and erased.
@@straycatttt2766 Yeah decades ago I seem to recall learning there were something like 40 different regional Chinese dialects more or less. If I'm not mistaken Cantonese is (or at least was) the most popular by number of speakers globally, but I imagine Mandarin has or is slowly overtaking that as well.
Super nice report on rural China. The sweetness of these villagers and the aggressiveness of these government workers form a huge contrast. Respect to the people of China, for putting up so much.
LOL, will you say anything honest to your own media. What did Chinese official do ? they carry no guns and shoot nobody. I wish Chinese media could interview some Karens in the west and judge them. that would be delightful. 😆
@@Naturalicity lol I was gonna say the same thing. Those people are passive as hell. They’ve been oppressed so much by the government, it’s in their DNA, they call themselves chives, grass that grows in the ground. Those people need to over throw their government asap cause if they don’t, they’re all gonna die because of covid so the government can save face
👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️Appreciated so much for your great efforts to have interviewed with the locals in deep rural areas of China. Thank you very much and love to watch more from you🙏🙏🙏
China has cameras everywhere, a full-fledged cell phone tracking system, and people are monitored by a government surveillance system. 🇯🇵🇺🇦🇹🇼🇱🇹🇨🇦🇺🇸🇯🇵 In China if you want to track a specific person, you can. When someone goes missing, the relevant information can be hidden by the Chinese Communist government so that the person cannot be found. In recent years, many underage students have gone missing. It is rarely reported in official Chinese media. In November 2022, the disappearance of a young boy in Wuhan caused great concern among Chinese people. 🇯🇵🇺🇦🇹🇼🇱🇹🇨🇦🇺🇸🇯🇵 China is a major organ transplant country. In the West, waiting for a suitable organ takes a long time. However, many Chinese transplant hospitals only take a week to a month to complete a match and find a suitable donor for a patient. Some even offer emergency transplants, in stark contrast to the long waiting times for donors in other countries. Some organ transplant operations in China have multiple matching organs on standby for each patient. Few Chinese voluntarily donate organs because the traditional Chinese culture highly values the integrity of the physical body. China has a long-standing culture of believing that the body is a gift from parents and heaven, and that the soul needs to be cared for and protected so it can be taken to the next reincarnation. Moreover, in recent decades, the Chinese government has not made a big call for organ donation. However, there are many organs available. Organ crimes in China were first exposed by overseas Falun Gong practitioners. Falun Gong practitioners and dissidents, many of whom were detained in prisons and detention centers, had their blood drawn under the guise of health checks. Some of them soon disappeared. Sources within the CCP system have revealed that many of the organ transplant donors come from these Falun Gong practitioners. Behind this is the organ transplant industry chain; the Chinese Communist Party's police, prosecutors, courts, hospitals, and the Triad of Chinese criminal gangs. 🇯🇵🇺🇦🇹🇼🇱🇹🇨🇦🇺🇸🇯🇵 Such practices have continued for more than 20 years since former party leader Jiang Zemin's crackdown on Falun Gong in 1999. Ordinary Chinese people are beginning to feel the expansion of the Chinese government's organ transplant industry. The organ transplant industry chain has also spread to Southeast Asian countries such as Myanmar, Thailand and Cambodia. The Chinese government-led organ transplant industry will use the big data widely collected and generated during the past three years of the Covid pandemic to quickly identify specific organs and make more accurate matches. Matches to transplant recipients can be easily found from vast amounts of genetic data. Those identified have gone missing. There has been an increase in the number of teenagers who have disappeared. Evidence has been found to suggest that Falun Gong detainees were mass murdered for their organs. Massive disappearances of young Uyghur men, reports of routine blood tests of Uyghur political prisoners, reports of mysterious deaths of Tibetans and Uyghurs in custody - all of these people are under the control of the Chinese Communist government, are victims of systematic organ harvesting. It’s a crime of the Chinese government, a genocide committed by the Chinese government. There is a high possibility that Japanese people are also being targeted. 🇯🇵🇺🇦🇹🇼🇱🇹🇨🇦🇺🇸🇯🇵 The world will decouple from China and Russia. The world will put the most severe economic sanctions on China as we do on Russia. 🇯🇵🇺🇦🇹🇼🇱🇹🇺🇸🇬🇧🇨🇦🇪🇺🇯🇵
Where are you from? Do you not realise that the surveillance does not stop with following foreigners physically? RU-vid, Facebook, TikToc is also monitored and local Chinese hackers try to identify people who do anything against the CCP. Then they are threatened, some have been tricked to go to China and are arrested at the airport.
China and Russia support North Korea and help develop nuclear weapons. In September 2017, The New York Times reported that US intelligence agencies discovered that North Korean rocket fuel was coming from China and Russia. To develop long-range missiles capable of hitting Guam and the US mainland, North Korea needs a rocket fuel known as asymmetric dimethylhydrazine (UDMH), which China and Russia provide to North Korea. 🇯🇵🇺🇦🇹🇼🇱🇹🇨🇦🇺🇸🇯🇵 China and Russia are selling arms to military ruled Myanmar. 🇯🇵🇺🇦🇹🇼🇱🇹🇨🇦🇺🇸🇯🇵 The world will decouple from China and Russia. The world will put the most severe economic sanctions on China as we do on Russia. 🇯🇵🇺🇦🇹🇼🇱🇹🇨🇦🇳🇿🇬🇧🇪🇺🇺🇸🇯🇵 January 5, 2022, President of Taiwan: "Taiwan's democracy and freedom must win." Taiwan is one country and not part of China. 台湾是一个国家，不是中国的一部分。台湾是一个国家，不属于中国。 🇯🇵🇹🇼🇺🇦🇱🇹🇨🇦🇺🇸🇯🇵 The Chinese government has no diplomatic options anymore. US military officials believe China will invade Taiwan between now and 2027. It can be assumed that Japan will also have a military clash with China in five years. 🇯🇵🇺🇦🇹🇼🇱🇹🇨🇦🇺🇸🇯🇵 Anti-Separation Law of People's Republic of China (Enforced on March 14, 2015) Article 8 "If the 'Taiwan independence' separatist forces act under any pretext or means to cause the separation of Taiwan from China, or if a serious incident occurs in connection with the separation of Taiwan from China, or if the possibility of peaceful reunification is completely lost, the state shall take non-peaceful means and other necessary measures to protect China's sovereignty and territorial integrity." Russia, Belarus, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Cuba, Venezuela, Dominican Republic, Indonesia, Cambodia, Nepal, Syria, Pakistan and Ethiopia support Anti-Separation Law. 🇯🇵🇺🇦🇹🇼🇱🇹🇨🇦🇺🇸🇯🇵 AUKUS's (Australia, UK, US) strategy to produce nuclear submarines for Australia can integrate Taiwan into the larger Indo-Pacific Union. Together also with Japan strategically, we provide mutual cooperation on defense capabilities. 🇯🇵🇬🇧🇳🇿🇺🇸 In China, (1) the state can force Chinese nationals at home and abroad to carry out military activities in their respective countries (National Defense Mobilization Law, effective in 2010); (2) the state can force Chinese nationals at home and abroad to do spy activities in their respective countries. (National Intelligence Law, effective 2017). Chinese citizens who do not follow the instructions and orders of the Chinese government will be arrested and have no option to decline. Together, these two laws create the most dangerous security situation for every country. There are at any time 25,000 Chinese professional spies in Japan. 🇯🇵🇺🇦🇹🇼🇱🇹🇨🇦🇺🇸🇯🇵 In 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre, China leaders ordered to kill thousands of student democracy demonstrators. 🇯🇵🇺🇦🇹🇼🇱🇹🇨🇦🇺🇸🇯🇵 Chinese agents contacted a Chinese democratic activist living in the US repeatedly warning they were tracking her every movement. They threatened to kill her and harm her family in China if she didn’t stop criticizing China’s leaders. 🇯🇵🇹🇼🇺🇦🇱🇹🇨🇦🇺🇸🇯🇵 Ignoring international law and the sovereignty of other countries, the CCP has established its own police bases, called "Overseas Police Service Centers," in 102 locations in 53 countries, including the United States, Europe, Africa, South America, and Japan. These are being used as bases to hunt down pro-democracy activists who have fled abroad. Between April 2021 and July 2022, more than 200,000 overseas Chinese pro-democracy activists were forcibly returned to China by the Overseas Police Service Center to face criminal charges. The Overseas Police Service Center's tactics include harassing and intimidating the target’s family members. 🇯🇵🇺🇦🇹🇼🇱🇹🇨🇦🇺🇸🇯🇵 The Ministry of State Security (MSS) is China's intelligence and security agency, responsible for counterintelligence, foreign intelligence and political security. It has broad powers to conduct espionage domestically and abroad. 🇯🇵🇺🇦🇹🇼🇱🇹🇨🇦🇺🇸🇯🇵 The MSS, Ministry of National Security of the People's Republic of China , benefits from close ties between the State and Chinese tech giants like Baidu and Alibaba and Tencent, all of which have the ability to mine personal data. Other government departments are required to cooperate with the MSS and provide support for its activities. 🇯🇵🇺🇦🇹🇼🇱🇹🇨🇦🇺🇸🇯🇵 A senior MSS officer was arrested in Belgium and handed over to the U.S. in 2018 on charges of conspiring to steal trade secrets from top 80 aviation companies. This spy for China’s government had been brought to America to face charges. 🇯🇵🇺🇦🇹🇼🇱🇹🇨🇦🇺🇸🇯🇵 Chinese students who receive Chinese government’s scholarship must sign agreements with the Chinese government. In Written contracts, these students must promise that ①they won’t engage in activities that harm the interests of Chinese government and that ②they must follow the management of Chinese consulates. 🇯🇵🇺🇦🇹🇼🇱🇹🇨🇦🇺🇸🇯🇵 In January 2023, several Chinese Students at Lund University in Sweden were found out to have signed these agreements. The agreements are between students and the China Scholarship Council or CSC. The agency is under China's Ministy of Education. CSC sends Chinese students to study on scholarships around the world including the United States. The CSC works with many colleges in the U.S. like Harvard, MIT, and UCLA. About 370,000 Chinese students in the U.S. on 2020. One in every 14 Chinese students in America are sponsored by CSC. The students must swear loyalty to the Chinese Communist Party. "Applicants must support the leadership of the Communist Party and the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics.” CSC asks students to submit periodic research reports to Chinese consulates. The students are being forced to follow the Chinese Communist party's orders, like participating in the Chinese Government’s overseas influence operations, gathering intelligence and stealing intellectual properties. The Chinese Government is exploiting students to steal intellectual property from the West. A guarantor of a student has to sign the agreement as well. Under the contract, that guarantor can’t leave China for over three months when the student is studying abroad, and the guarantor needs to pay scholarship payment if the student brakes the signed agreements. Two universities in Sweden have stopped working with CSC. 🇯🇵🇺🇦🇹🇼🇱🇹🇨🇦🇺🇸🇯🇵 The world will decouple from China and Russia. The world will put the most severe economic sanctions on China as we do on Russia. 🇯🇵🇺🇦🇹🇼🇱🇹🇨🇦🇳🇿🇬🇧🇪🇺🇺🇸🇯🇵
At 03:14, "The night when I returned home, I didn't arrive until after midnight, but my daughter - she insisted on waiting for me out there." - That nearly brought tears to my eyes!
@@chenge221 We can criticize the CCP without the need to vilify the Chinese people who are just trying to get by, like billions of other people all around the world.
This is same story to many migrants workers. Chinese or not. Sent to work far away from home to earn money. Only those rich enough don't do that. Those in rich countries surely see them working hard, toiling in conditions that they would not tolerate. But for them , it worth it to give their families a better life
@@erikswanson5753 many villages like this in China ,you should come have a look !! Han Chinese is sometimes wrongly used to describe one ethnic group in China . Actually the Han Dynasty conquered the Qin Empire . It is really an empire not a type or DNA of people . Most Chinese consider themselves Han Chinese whether they come from hilltribes or flat areas of the yellow river. Ethnic groups can still be Han Chinese, [Hanyu] as they were also part of the Han dynasty empire. What makes China so amazing is the differences right across the country , the languages are more than 300 , then there is dialects in every small town . Bloody mindblowing when you are trying to communicate !!🤣🤣
@Keyboard Emperor you have a little knowledge of Chinese history congratulations . However what i said is correct there is no Han DNA it is a : culture : pure and simple . It also encompasses many ethnic groups . That is what i was trying to explain . Regards Sean

Having a reporter that speaks the language, looks like the locals and is familiar with the culture speaks volumes! Ms. Wang moved fluidly through the streets & was invited in earnest by the locals. They could trust her. This is why having a diverse workplace is important. I grew up seeing white reporters speaking English w/ translators while covering stories abroad. It always looked like the subjects being interviewed were uncomfortable and formal.
it would be better to have whomever is reporting actually report the news. The fact all those protesters are missing. I mean ALL OF THEM .. go look at any of the videos from the Chinese protests the past few months. Literally you are seeing dead people commit to their death. I am sure most are in fact still alive in Jail for future organ harvest... only the ones with poor organs or compatibility for donation will be outright killed.
It’s just not in China.. it’s everywhere.. ppl leave their kids to try to give them a better life. It was the same with me, my dad immigrated 3 days before my first birthday and my mom migrated when I was 3. I literally met my mom at 10 when she came back and my dad at 12 when I came to the US. I heard the stories.. my dad had 3 part times and slept at a park close to the job just so he can make it on time. And they sacrificed a lot for me. My dad passed away but I’m glad I was able to live with him and have a decade of memories. My mom retired and of course social security ain’t shit! So I care for her. I really don’t understand how ppl put their parents in an home for old ppl. I’m taking care of my mom how she took care on me.. I think this is why this report it’s really interesting for a lot of ppl here in the US. The US culture is mainly “Me” mentality and selfishness.

Now people isolated in their entitled luxury (real ALL OF US TALKING HERE) are looking at conditions we could not survive nor fathom (made clear by your stance on these things) continue that pompous entitlement. if you cared about and thought about it ... and they really were wonderful you would show more respect to their situation and challenges.
Sending love to the Chinese people and everyone around the world. Being from the UK, I have already celebrated the arrival of the year 2024, and I hope the 2024 Lunar New Year will be fantastic for those waiting to celebrate it too.
This is very normal in china, china is too big and unbalanced, if one can earn 10 times the money in the costal cities, many people will choose not seeing their families for a whole yr. In fact those kids have a name in china: 'left behind children' and it's a huge social problem.
How about your military/army people going to faraway countries for month even years, and some lost their life in wars that they don't even understand?? What is your heart feeling about it??

Wow! So glad I came across this. Excellent on-the-ground reporting and insightful view of real people with lifestyles different from mine, but who love their families as much, if not more than we love ours. It's both harsh and beautiful.
What an excellent report. You don't even need words to see how kind and welcoming these people are, and how happy they are to share their culture with others. "Time capsule" indeed!
you do know that is a fake piece right. China makes these types of fake showings ... they do not want CNN or us asking where all the disappeared protestors are... or all the missing kids
Unusual to see this type of reporting from CNN in China. Really enjoyed seeing the unvarnished humanity and community in the more rural areas. Really sheds light on why some people protested so hard against covid restrictions there if some workers only get to return home to see family once a year.
Because CNN is pure anti-china propaganda just as the other western mainstream mass media. Even this reporting is an indirect anti-chinese government piece, cherry picking a rural family who has opened their doors to the reporter to ignite chinese government criticism as can be seen in the comment section.
Her goal was in making the report was to find dying people, and sick. Yet was complete failure and come up saying that their is Chinese Agent spying on them. Especially the father in black jacket who is watching his kids. What a joke.
Very interesting report. Thanks to the reporter and crew for making the effort. Now I'm wondering about how farming can continue if the young people leave to work in factories.
I am in Beijing now. The air quality is much better than five years ago. The people are friendly, they wave, give thumbs up, and some ask if they get a photo with me. The Chinese are wonderful. I get confused sometimes like when I enter a museum, glistening with marble floors, clean, comfortable, cheap, quiet, safe and they call it a subway.
@@Naturalicity how so? Inquiring minds want to know. Yes, I understand the CCP effectively prevented interviews; that sucks, but it says more about the CCP than it says about the Chinese people, I think. Correct me if I'm wrong. Thx.
The cheap stuff we can’t get enough of on Amazon and at Wal-Mart is made by them. They sacrifice the best years of their lives for that stuff. But if their employers paid them more, our consumer dollars would abandon them.
Do you realize that during the Industrial Revolution in Great Britain, the same thing happened back then in the 18th century? England was a rural agricultural society back then but when the factories were built and more money could be earned in them, families were broken up and the young left the family farm to work in the factories in the cities. A similar pattern occurred in Europe when it went through its own industrial revolution and so too did that happen in the United States. Pick up any good book on the "History of the Industrial Revolution" and what it did to Western societies and you will find the same thing has happened all around the world when countries industrialized from an agrarian society. To some extent, this is still happening today in our own post-industrialized societies where our kids leave home to study in universities far away, sometimes thousands of miles away and get to come home only at the end of the year during semester break. The ravages inflicted upon the traditional family home unit are there from our "modern, advanced" civilization.
Just a reminder that there are such beautiful people in all parts of the world. I think we have so much to learn about giving, sharing, caring. Its amazing.
When I go to China with my wife for Chinese New Year and we go to the countryside where her grandparents live, its similar to this. Everyone is SO friendly, especially to a foreigner. You cant walk a block without someone trying to invite you for a bite to eat or a drink. I cant wait until the COVID situation is more under control, I really miss going there with my wife!
Really enjoyed this report thanks @SelinaWang, with all the tension between our governments (I'm Australian) and apprehension about the future its easy to forget the millions of people who just want to be happy, look after their families and live their lives in peace - just like us.
@@vladtheinhaler8940 Yes, you're right. I don't mean the people in China. For me, those who are not Chinese didn't grow up under the influence of traditional Chinese culture like Confusious.
We are more alike than different. This segment was a good one. It felt like real reporting. No bias.... no opinions.. just good interviews and interpretation of the people and places. Thank you
You hate Chinese, it's ok to admit it. CNN is a malicious US media against China. If a child molester talking to your child, you'll keep an eye on him, too.
@@BiffTannenBTTF That's only your delusional opinion. When China's GDP exceed the US, you'll be even more hateful. 🤣 A lot of wealthy Chinese and even westerners are moving to China.
Heartwrenching....I realize now...how very fortunate I was, to have three of my grandparents live with us as I grew up....I will always have those great memories...Treasures of my Heart...
You visited an almost empty hospital and you make up this fake news about “more silent people suffering”! CNN propagandists and liars, shut up with your fake news already. Your demonizing novels about China differs even in the eyes of blatant evidence. You just went to a village with most people not wearing face masks with China’s zero COVID policy, and you just visited a hospital which is empty, and you are being intentionally misleading giving out false information about “more silent people suffering”? Where are the “silent people suffering” in China, anti-China propagandists from CNN? China is not against journalism. Journalism should be reporting UNBIASED FACTS. CNN isn’t doing journalism, but propaganda and spinning narratives, being intentionally misleading in their massive mind control and brainwashing.
I work in film in China and it’s kind of laughable how much “trouble” they run into. If we go into a new city to do filming we always have a producer reach out to local officials before we get there. It’s not like in America where there is a filming permit in China you just have to go do the rounds. You tell them what you’re filming and where you’re going but obviously foreign journalists don’t HAVE to do that. But you’re just making life a whole lot harder for yourself. But honestly it’s the type of sensationalist footage they want.
CNN is lie manufactures, especialy smear and demonized China all the time, I was shocked they were even allowed in China, that is why local official are suspicious about them, everyone should. There are many genuine traveller who took video and vlogs without politcal aganda, they never had never problem like what the CNN reporter showed in the video, or those official are simply actor hired by them to smear China? As usual, even on the surface this report were friendly to Chinese, but, never failed, in producing "crisis" to show what they want to show. Shame on them!
But it is the truth, I am a veteran of Afghanistan and Iraq in the early 2000s. We were always briefed when reporters were coming...avoid them, say nothing of your work, be polite and walk away. US and Australian were the worst of them, the UK was next. All they want is sensationalism.
df4196 original commenter has no idea what he's talking about... If you were filming for CNN international doing a report during covid when China was covering up covid...... Then you would definitely have a crapload of authoritarian minders following you around interfering in the exact same way..... But you're not doing that. You're not doing any sort of political journalism and that is why no one is interfering with you. You probably lived in China for a short time and haven't even seen the difference over the decades.. more or less than politically sensitive situations. Try taking your video cameras over to tmn square ,BJ on may4 or June 4....
I feel so much for these families. Growing up I wouldn't see my mom for maybe a week or two due to her working and going to school. I still remember how she would smell and feel when I would hug her again and then she'd be gone soon. I can't imagine having to wait a year or more to see her. Being raised by my grandparents we had a very special relationship.
Vicky moved from Shanghai to Dali, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QE97g3zRSgc.html they even got a Texas BBQ run by an American there.
No one should have to be separated from their children in order to provide a bare minimum existence for their family. This is a horrible way to live. I’m sure they’d rather be able to go home and hug their children at the end of the work day and make a decent wage.
I am so touched by this excellent report by Selina Wang and want to echo all the sentiments already expressed. Actually seeing the rural villagers celebrating and hearing how they manage their lives, given their difficulties, is heartwarming. I love that they spontaneously welcomed Selina and her crew to celebrate with them; I love that Selina speaks the language; and I love that she wasn't intimidated by the minders. Such an amazingly beautiful slice of Chinese rural life that we hear so much about, but never get to see. Bravo to CNN for getting this news and for the outstanding job of Selina Wang and her crew did in interviewing these folks. I feel such a connection with them despite the vast differences in our cultures!
She did telling you she trying hard to find death and suffering and she doesn't find it, so what makes this report she done a good one ? No propaganda for the job she doing.
@@xuansu9036 why?? did those normal civilian did a crime to need a lawyer/minders on their side when being interviewed??? which screwed country are you from??? oh I guess you're from China.
This is how humans have lived for hundreds of years. In close-knit communities, living off the land. I wish I had this man, when did it all become so complicated...
It’s the reason I am able to accomplish what I do in life I am from the United States and I don’t think there’s many here that understand the sacrifices made by these beautiful people so I say thank you for giving me the strength That you provide me
Although I live in the same city of my relatives, we barely see each other. They are always trying to put me down, I don't reply because I respect them but I can't stand it anymore. Just to say that not all families are united.
@@bounty1402 They only put you down if you let them. Don't know your situation of course, but most people like your relatives who act like that have a serious problem inside themselves. They project it on you. Don't make it yours. Have your own beliefs and be good to others.
@@adriankolsters I had eating issues as a child, they continue blaming me on that even if today I'm relatively successful: I work, I'm independent, have a decent life. For them, I'll be a loser anyways. And I don't care anymore, I don't need their approval, my salary speaks for itself.
@@bounty1402 Good for you. Apparently, they can't deal with the fact that things can change and then be happy with the positive outcome. That's too much loss of prestige. Up to them to solve it. Take care.
The joy of simple living, wooden houses, freshly grown vegetables. Great reporting. I miss my time living in China and plan to return to visit some day.
Great little piece that taught me a lot about this little piece of Chinese life. At the end of the day we're all the same. We just want to take care of our families and do the best we can for each other.
Crazy how those Chinese Minders literally followed her everywhere (provincial rural areas) made it obvious they were following, and when confronted acted like they were just regular bystanders. Except for that one dude in the market who literally told the woman to stop talking. It’s quite scary knowing and seeing that the Chinese government is doing their very best to cover up certain things even in front of international cameras.
Finally someone that see the problem in that interview. I was losing hope reading the comments...are they all blind? Pretending there's nothing wrong?😑😑😑
Shows that everywhere, people are just people, doing what it takes to make life better for themselves, their families, and communities. Thanks. Kind of fun to see the followers filmed and questioned.
Qin Hui：“The closest thing to China's urban and rural dual registered residence system is the former apartheid system of South African whites against blacks. The common characteristics behind them are the inequality of low human rights, no property rights and public services.” The most fundamental reasons behind China's registered residence system are three inequalities: the first is the inequality of human rights, especially the lack of secure housing and residency rights for Chinese migrant workers in cities. The second issue is unequal property rights, as the land of Chinese farmers is not their true property and belongs to collective land owned by the state. The third issue is inequality in public services, where government officials, senior officials, urban residents, and farmers enjoy a huge gap in unfair social welfare benefits. Today, China's negative welfare system has increased the wealth gap and urban-rural polarization. Especially in the context of economic globalization in the 21st century, China's negative welfare system and low human rights advantages have become even greater. This has led to the exploitation and enslavement of the vulnerable groups of most of China's lower class farmers, resulting in the emergence of red sweatshops that exploit Chinese migrant workers more than capitalist sweatshops. If free and democratic countries around the world cannot unite to exert pressure on the Chinese government to improve the human rights and welfare treatment of Chinese migrant workers, then the labor welfare treatment of free and democratic countries will be affected and they will have to lower their human rights and welfare treatment to align with Chinese migrant workers. For a government with unlimited power, unlimited accountability can be exercised until it cannot bear it. The way out for China still lies in a gradual and peaceful transformation, with two key points: first, limiting the government's power; Secondly, the common people should vigorously seek welfare from the government. By achieving these two points, the ideal constitutionalism and democracy will also come. I think pressure can be continuously applied in both aspects. Gradually improve one thing at a time. The biggest problem that ultimately leads to the current system is the problem of too much power and too little responsibility, constantly being compressed. When it comes to matching power and responsibility, China's political system changes．
We really do have it good here in New Zealand. We complain about a lot of things in our country but none of us have to travel 600 miles away from home for work and only get to see our kids once a year. That doesn't mean we should stop fighting for progress in our country, it can be better in lots of ways, but it's good to stop and remember that others are sacrificing so much more to live even half of the comfortable lives we live.
I wanna move to new zealand but I'm a farmer. I'm willing to work as long as I can eat and have a place to stay. Any ideas where I can find an employer in New Zealand?
I agree you should never stop fighting for progress. People who say "I live in the best country in the world" dont understand that when you start thinking like that, you can only go downhill and wont better yourself.
Comfort isn't the most important thing. Without democracy you have nothing at all. Never forget that you have a good life because you live in a democracy and not in a tyranny were journalists are followed, harrassed and not allowed to speak freely with whomever they please. China looks similar to the free world with all the capitalist perks of material things, but it's a communist tyranny.
You guys live in developped countries are so lucky . As a chinese, although I live a relatively decent life, I still face a lot of pressures from erary everything in my life. I hope that we can live life like people in developped countries one day.🥲
What I like about this is how it just shows the people. So often you hear people label and categorize other people such as to the manner of "Oh, those Chinese," or those "Russians", or those "Mexicans", but so often the people in the country are just good people who are trying to get to the end of each day. Sure, some countries governments are corrupt, and even "some" people in those countries are certainly bad (just like in our country). However, far more often people are so much more than just the label of their country, or their ethnicity.
I love traveling for this reason, meeting real people, they are not what the Media reported. After traveling all over Turkey for 3weeks, 97% of the Turkish are kind, helpful and hard working to solve thier daily problems.
Well, we have people in our country who are bad. And some governments are corrupt - ours is. But the Chinese government isn't corrupt or just that. It's a brutal, neo-Imperial, murderous regime. And their big problem with America, The West, our Allies, etc. isn't that we're brutal or murderous or neo-Imperial and in the year 2023... It's that we're not. It's not that we say those "Chinese....Russians....Mexicans..." etc. Like some of them say those "White folks"....or those "Westerners". Their problem with us is that we stand against them and their supporters. We might say those "Russians" or those "Chinese" or those "Mexicans", but I promise you - we are for them, not against them. We speak out against the governments of China, Russia, Iran, Mexico, etc. And their supporters do not. They don't care about China, Russia, Mexico, Iran or anyone but themselves. Neither do their supporters. WE care about the people above no matter where they are. And that is their problem with America, The West, our Allies in The East, and about everyone everywhere....Mexico, Central and South America, Africa, etc..... who stand for democracy, freedom of speech, and human rights. Not for oppression, corruption, brutality, or neo-Colonialism and in the year 2023. Or police state tactics. We stand together on that. You just want to divide us. Nice try. We'll prevail. We always do... Cheers! PS. This will get a down-vote from all the brutality supporters. ;) It won't get the likes the other comments do because they're generally propaganda of some sort attacking The West because we stand against them and their brutal regimes.
A lot of hard working people in China to provide for their family. Their New Year is more meaningful as they reunite with their kids/family … it’s an amazing story!
She visited an almost empty hospital and she made up this fake news about “more silent people suffering”! CNN propagandists and liars, shut up with your fake news already. Your demonizing novels about China differs even in the eyes of blatant evidence. You just went to a village with most people not wearing face masks with China’s zero COVID policy, and you just visited a hospital which is empty, and you are being intentionally misleading giving out false information about “more silent people suffering”? Where are the “silent people suffering” in China, anti-China propagandists from CNN? China is not against journalism. Journalism should be reporting UNBIASED FACTS. CNN isn’t doing journalism, but propaganda and spinning narratives, being intentionally misleading in their massive mind control and brainwashing. There are foreigners living in China like “Living in China with Jason”, “Barrett”, “Travellight”, “Nico”, “Cyrus Janssen”, “Mamahuhu”, “Blondie in China,” “where’s poppy”, etc. Asian Boss is always interviewing people in China. You don’t see Chinese police following then around making interviews of people on the streets or making vlogs of China, because China isn’t against journalism and HONEST reporting that tells the truth, but against fake news, anti-China smearing and demonization, and demonizing China using the most negative adjectives. They are keeping their citizens from dangerous American spies who collect partial truths and spin them however they want making up fake news. I’ve been to half of China and I still have relatives living in China. You don’t see Chinese police following us around when we travel. They are only against American satanic illuminati propagandists and novelists like those from CNN, ABC, CBS, MSNBC, CBC, BBC. China isn’t against honest and unbiased journalism. China supports this. China is against dishonest, narrative spinning, anti-China demonization propaganda. Of all the first tiered cities with beautiful skyscrapers and beautiful decorations and illuminations she could have visited, she chose to visit this village. What is CNN trying to brainwash us with? That the Chinese can’t afford to eat? 🤣🤣🤣
A CNN journalist was seen smiling after she went inside a nursery of a mass shooting in Thailand and filmed the blood stained floors without permit not long ago. This is why these intrusive Western reporters have to be monitored in Asia. They're always there to cause trouble.
This is the real style reporting that major new media should focus on, Great Job Selina and i look forward to seeing more exceptional journalism by you in the future.

It helps that Selina Wang is so freaking gorgeous and sweet. You just want to have her come in and meet the family. This also shows the world would be a much better place if governments would just leave people alone ! All of us just want to get along.
@@Lucifer-fj7mg I have my doubts that people can separate the two that clearly. Sometimes when you try to hurt the government, you also hurt the people.
@@Lucifer-fj7mg ...First, ...there is no CCP,..... you're using the anti China propaganda term. Second,.. 94% of Chinese love their government. So when you say you hate their government, you're actually saying you hate the Chiinese. You're another typical closet racist.
No matter how poor they are, they don't blame anyone and rob others by force, just working hard to support their families. And I saw the kids are growing healthy and happy. So proud of the Fathers 👍😭😭👏👏👏💪💪💪🥰🥰🥰
Umm actually they would of the lived in any capitalist country. The only reason they don't is because of government policy. Everyone in China is taken care of, that's the priority
@@dipropraubha9434 Except all the people being exploited and robbed while having to "work" in Laogais. Or the other people getting castrated. But it is for sure better to live in China....
@@QuietJagung No thanks, Tankie. In case you don't know, it's possible to appreciate Chinese culture and the beautiful people of China without consuming CPC propaganda.
How exactly are they blessed? They practically live in slavery to the CCP. One time a year to see their children, even our prisoners see their families more often. Look at their nations wealth, then look at that town again. They live like that because the government pockets the wealth of the nation.
Blessed? Blessed would be being able to spend more than one day a year with your own children. Blessed isn't being in that situation because of the CCP's control and creation of the rogue capitalism police state veiled as communism/socialism.
Yeah, family is important to them. Even after migrating to North America. Asians and East Indians don’t have single parent households like many of us do in the west. Probably why they do so well here.
Beer produced in a state of art brewery under German brewmeister supervision costs around .50 cents a liter. Virginia seed tobacco cigarettes sell anywhere from .25 cents to $20 a pack. Huge selection like the magazine stand.
