What’s it like to live in China so long? 

We just moved to Zhongshan from Hong Kong, and find the life is v. nice and relaxed here!

I am moving to Zhongshan. Also from Hong Kong. Nice to meet people living in Zhongshan.

@@januschan711 That's great! It's a very good city for living.

There are many foreigners here, and in my area many Hong Kong people too.

@@TOKYOTOYBANZAI If you live in China you will find out that there are online channels to voice your honest opinions, and it works. What's terrible though is how freedom of speech in the West is decaying. e.g. Police have arrested more than 3,400 people for ‘offensive’ online comments in one year in the UK. Bye Bye freedom...

​@@TOKYOTOYBANZAI Freedom of speech has benefits, but also several disadvantages. Unless you are in a place like Japan, people abuse freedom of speech and use it to defame others, share obscene materials, incite violence/hate speech, etc

The 1st time I heard a English talk about safety in Beijing was 2009, I thought it was weird and didn’t think more about it until I live in California, yes , some Chinese even think China is not safe enough because they have no idea what is like outside of China, also the social medias in China always says how better outside of China, how bad china is

@@weizhang2834The social media must be controlled by the China haters.

Really like your statements 😊

Western “democracy” goes like this: “If you refused to do as we tell you to do we’re gonna invade your country, kill your leaders, and steal all of your natural resources and wealth!” That’s the “democracy” the US has been imposing on other countries for the last century!

💯 therapeutic.

Exactly

Jordan Peterson erklärt, daß die Linken sehr gut darin geworden sind, die gesellschaftliche Mitte im Westen vor sich herzutreiben, indem sie ihr ständig ein schlechtes Gewissen macht: mit Migration, Klima, Gender, Ukraine usw. Solange ihr das mit euch machen laßt, geht's weiter bergab.

China is getting better with part of your work.

When I saw Germany again in 2016...I was shocked. I haven't been back since and I'm sure it's gotten a lot worse since then. Most of Western Europe is in a death spiral, and the USA is also in decline.

China knows how to deal with Islam.

@sweetburger8039 That's because a lot of the middle class has moved to the suburbs leaving NYC with a higher ratio of poor people who don't care about keeping the streets clean. Look at the mean income of NYC compared to its suburbs. Then notice how clean the suburbs are even though they probably don't have street cleaning.

中國還是有窮人的，但是政府已經在想辦法了，就我自己的經歷，我看到政府給與低收入的窮人申請免費或者低費用的住房保證，因此蓋了很多房子。但生活需要自己努力，不能白拿政府的錢躺平。 不過依然很多人說中國貧富差距的問題，我想指出哪個國家都有貧富差距，而且中國即使什麼都沒做，依然被西方國家抹黑打壓，很多外資撤離，百姓失業，中國政府也不是全能的。不應該這麼苛責。

@Reina-vov The difference is in the US the poor congregate to cities because they have public transportation (to get to work) and more low income/Government rental units. In the suburbs (with less public transportation) if you can't afford a car your life will usually be completely miserable (which is mostly intentional to keep the poor out)

Lol those are literally only the main downtown areas, I would bet my life that it looks like India 5 minutes from where they’re filming

​@@someuser7501that's got nothing to do with your governments failing USA and senators/mayor's. There are much better examples seen across the world of effective governments

My classmate in Harbin was 75 years old and he decided to move to China and learn Chinese. It’s never too late 😁

Me too, he talk freely, but very logical and clear.

No, it doesn‘t fit their job.

Yes. Someone who has lived in a country, learned the language, who understands the culture (at least as much as a newcomer can) is much better qualified to speak on a place.

nah, they choose people who will suit their twisted agenda and anti-china narrative.

US mainstream media is owned by corporate elitists and they are the mouthpieces of the US govt to spread whatever narratives and propaganda they want

​@@xucg In China, it happens once a few years, in the west, it happens on a daily basis, and sometimes on mass scale, no comparison.

@@xucg I think what you’re referring to is school bullying which in my opinion is a different topic. But yeah, something needs to be done in our education system to shift away from being so academic centric. That being sad, other countries such as Japan also have school bullying issues.

Every coin has two sides, including all and every Western moral concept; privacy is no exception. Besides protection for criminals like child molesters, privacy is also helping bosses manage workers. Think about it: if no one knows each other's salary, is this good for the workers? Or is it good for the bosses to manage the workers? If you are a boss, you promote privacy; you tell your workers to treasure their privacy, such as wages as secrets. However, if you are a worker, you don't know your fellow workers' salaries. How is that good for you? By keeping your wage a secret to your coworkers, you are helping the boss manage yourself and your coworkers for the boss's benefit. So, privacy is invented by capitalist intellectuals to help employers manage employees. Of course, there are also intellectuals who help the workers, such as Karl Marx, who invented communism. However, workers love their capitalism and employers, and workers also love privacy. Workers hate Marx, and workers hate communism even more.

A true statement of wisdom Well said well done well put

You yell “freedom” to people with child-sized brains who don’t want to be restricted at all (forget all the laws in place in the West that already doesn’t allow for 100% freedom either) to get those gullible dumb ppl to vote for you. That’s how “democracy” works in the US. It’s just an adult version of a student body president in high school running on putting free soda machines in the hallways and making lunch 2 hrs long. Whoever is the slickest and most manipulative win. Look at Drump. Morons voting for another moron cuz he speaks their language.

Permission to quote your nice quote

I agree but I got there 50 years ago a simple young man just sitting in a park and contemplating - - we have forgotten how powerful silence is

Only if youre under benevolent dicators

A large number of cameras means stable security. If you are robbed, the police can catch the criminal within an hour, relying on these cameras.

I dont get why Westerners fear surveilance in a public place? Do you want to something shady?

Indeed, looks like surveillance in China is for everyone's safety, but surveillance in the US is intended to protect the state from the people sort of.

我不认为是“监视”生活那些监控只是为了安全保障。没人会在意你是谁，监控也不是时时刻刻都在盯着你，只要你不偷不抢不对社会造成影响你就是好市民，不用担心

只有有犯罪或者需要其提供特定帮助的时候才会真正调用，其它时候，几乎没有人关注他们到底拍摄到了什么。没什么好担心的，只有好处，没坏处，当然对有违法意图的人，是一种震慑。

Thats the funniest thing with the west. Too much cctv, they say, it breach of their human rights for being constantly surveillance’s by authorities. When crime or bad things happen to them, they will say why don’t they put enough cctv to keep them safe.

You left out a very important fact about real Chinese food - they are generally very healthy, aside from being affordable!!! Anytime I watch channels about "western" food, it's mostly deep fried, dripping in oil, oozing out fat, and screaming of cholesterol.

@@briancousins3101 if u go there 30 years earilier maybe u won't like it so much, the old China is a different world.

说得太对了

The Western people cheat themselves for the sense of superiority. The Western governments lie because they are incapable of governing and they can't afford to let the heavily taxed people realize the reality.

If you read a summary of China history for 10 minutes, you will understand why their socieity need to be ruled by an ironfist goverment otherwise China will fall apart. The same for most East Asia country, a.k.a Korea, Japan, Vietnam.

The fruit of good governance 🤣. If I want to say Justin Trudeau is a piece of 💩, I'd like to say so without being censured. All governments are 💩 pal.

Freedom of speech? What freedom of speech! I can’t even leave a comment about the mafia tactics of the US gov without YT blocking my comment and sometimes even warned me about doing such a thing! Look at what they did to Julian Assange and Edward Snowden for telling the truth about the US gov! They’re nothing but a bunch of liars, hypocrites, and criminals! That’s all they are!

Appreciate that mate. I knew you wouldn’t, but we don’t all need to agree on everything to crack on. I agree with a lot you say on your pod, it’s why I’m subscribed. I’m of the mentality that you can pick and choose different political views - I feel like western democracy is used to divide people and put people into tribes pitted against one another. Seems people aren’t really allowed their own opinion anymore and have to go with their leader or choice. I can appreciate both systems at the end of the day. Home is where you make it. Appreciate you watching - there’ll be more random stuff like this.

@@guangjoe I really want to see you do more stuff like this, you are an intelligent lad who can provide a unique perspective on Chinese life and relate your experiences to a life in familiar with.

I’ve watched enough of your stuff to know that’s who you are. Dude I am absolutely fascinated by your life and the things you are into.

@@guangjoe With that many surveillance cameras, the US has managed to have the world's largest prison population, amounting to a full 1% of its total population, in addition to out-of-control crime, never ending mass shootings, so I guess all those surveillance cameras worked really well

@snide. he's not telling the whole story. The vast majority of the cameras in the US are not controlled by the government/police. They are owned by businesses or homeowners. For instance doorbell cameras are pretty ubiquitous and so are cameras in stores. Outside in the streets they are almost nonexistent except for intersections with lots of car accidents.

China is not a country of immigrants, and it is extremely difficult to obtain Chinese citizenship, with only a thousand successful cases in decades

@@Ginyiwei It is not about citizenship as most foreigners I would imagine don't want to become Chinese citizens which by the way is becoming easier if you tick enough boxes. It's more about permanent residence which most countries grant if you have family in or have contributed to the country over a selected time frame. I would think a change from 2 years to minimum 5 for a family visa and maybe a 2 year work visa for those curious about China would be a good start. In saying all that the visa process now is much easy than a decade or two ago but still an inconvenience for some as not every person lives in a place that has a PSB down the road.

​​​@@chinathesideyoudontsee8157 I totally agree with you on the visa restriction and being made to feel unChinese with the constant red tape e.g. being unable to buy train tickets online like the Chinese can and having to attend to anything in person at the station with your passport. I'm Chinese, born in old favoured colony, now u Malaysian, Anglised and settling down in the UK. as though Chinese is my mother tongue, my first language is English. I can speak fairly good Mandarin, and some Hokkien and Cantonese but I'm only proficient in English... above native. Fluency but with an Oxbridge accent and a faint Malaysian voice tone. I ve always felt at home in the UK and I can empathise with any radical groups - right, left , black and ethnicminority... But not the extremists. I feel perfectly at home in the UK which accept my nationality as British. I would hate to live in China I love so much whose govt. I share my deepest affiliations and whose people With whom I have the most profound empathy and love. I'm an inspired, free thinker, intellectually incer😅lined, laid back uand easy going professional woman who only takes her educational work seriously but all else after the daily grind as my free time...I can't be bothered with paper work to save my life...this is why I don't.

Thanks for your comment. Have you lived overseas?

@@guangjoe I'm orginally from New Zealand and Live in Australia, but also had opportunity to live Thailand for awhile, Now im in my mid 40's feels like a life time ago now but was the best time of my life learned so much. A few years ago for my 40th I went to Japan for month and travelled around I loved it especially from safety & politeness of people and everthing was orderly. I watch a few walking/driving youtubers from China and I am always amazed at the infrastructure and cleanliness even in rural towns. I always find myslef asking why can't Aust & NZ be like that in rural areas and the infreastructure in general. Who knows before I exit this life maybe I wil get to experience living in china or japan.

It’s one thing to share my ideal reaction to adversity, but another altogether to actually employ this mindset at all times. I wish I could say I’m always calm and collected, but that would be a lie. We can only try our best, and the next day, do better.

you can actually change gender if you want, you just need to be checked in hospital to get a certification that proves you really have done the surgery before you go to police bureau to alter your gender on ID. But teaching kids about reckoning their genders is a fking big NO in China ofc.

it’s because it’s ethnically homogeneous and has had thousands of years to reach it

@@idirhhrin8876 UK is also homogeneous for many centuries. but it's been devolving into it's current state now. Look at London and so many other cities, some smaller towns are like so sad and depressed, the people are like stuck in the 70s and 80s.
