What do People in the Philippines think of CHINA? 

As a Chinese, I could care less about what westerners think of us.

Most people in Philippine say they will never live in China. Let them enjoy live where they are. I believe that is good. China will never want these people to come and live in China anyway. they have enough people to take care of.

Pinoy and Indian's second language is English, so they will follow 5 eyes people's thinking

You are totally right. What the Chinese government has done. It has taken a few years, but it is simple amazing. I remember China of the 50/60 and 70 and what a difference today. Good for the Chinese people. Here what can we expect to vote every 4 or5 or 6 years and then to see how the corrupt politicians make a fortune for themselves.

"The dogs may bark but the caravan moves on." I am from SKorea and I was surprised at the responses of Chinese neighbors months ago when Chang'e 6 returned with sample from the far side of the moon. As an engineer myself, I was shocked at the incredible achievement, truly a historic moment of writing a new chapter in human history. But when I congratulated them, they just shrugged off and act like another day with "couldn't care less" expression, Incredible !

China may not be the first country in Asia to become developed, but it is the first to achieve a high level of sovereignty from the US monopoly. Japan and South Korea were vulnerable to the US SWIFT system, but China and Russia developed alternatives, which other countries, including those in Africa, are now realizing. For the first time, a real alternative exists, and the future is a whole new ballgame.

Well said: it’s easier to believe in a lie than believing that you are so gullible for all these years to take the lies which you believe are true.

Dear Prof Gweilo, The street of Nanning, Guangxi where you are walking on, talking and smiling will be an envy to most people, certainly myself included. The people of China couldn't be bothered what the Filipinos think of them. They are more interested in improving and getting on with their lives.

It’s a lifetime battle to try and change peoples minds. Keep up the good work 😊

Hey Gweilo...I agree with everything you say, I've been in China 3 times and I feel more free there than I do here in the US. I'm so disgusted with this country that I'm tempted to move to China.

There is a bit of envious racism in SouthEast Asia about China because if you look at the who's who in the business world in these countries, many are Chinese owned, ie Chinese who are citizens of those countries. That plus the media makes it easy to villanize the Chinese. Having said that, these same countries are asking China to help them with their infrastructure. Even the RP was about to grow its rail infrastructure with China under Duterte, but no longer under Bomg Bong Marcos. Marcos is now asking Japan and the US to build and fund these projects. We shall see. I lived in the RP on and off for about 35 years because my first wife was a Chinese born in the Philippines.(20 years ago). I now live on and off in Shenzhen, China and Los Angeles. Philippinos are very friendly but corruption, petty thefts, murders, and drug addictions permeate their society. Many Americans married a Pinoy girl and retired in the RP. Twenty years ago, there were about 50,000 American expats living in the RP so Americana was a lifestyle that was looked up to and a lot of the entertainment and movies had an American bent.(Obviously American occupation of the RP was also a factor) Those that got a good education, migrated to the US so the US has a big Philippino population, an estimated 4.5 million. One of the RP biggest imports from the US are dollar remittances from these American Philippinos to their relatives in the RP.

Three years ago, my first trip to china, I was nervous when when I was crossing the border into shenzhen. Now I enjoy the freedom of doing everything I want to do in China. Especially being able to eat without worrying about breaking the bank.

For those keen on history, here are some: 1) When Philippines was colonised by Spain, the territories of Philippines did NOT include South China Sea; 2) When US defeated Spain took control of Philippines, the territories inherited from Spain did NOT include South China Sea; 3) When US defeated Japan in WW2, US returned the sovereignty of South China Sea to China (at that time it was GuoMingDang party that ruled China). as China was the legitimate owner which was recognised internationally include US and UK. When Philippines gained independence (the Philippines country was formed) after US withdrew, the territories of Philippines did NOT include South China Sea. The Philippines territories never include South China Sea.

Countries that consistently work to improve the well-being of their citizens, ensuring access to basic needs like food, safety, and peace, truly embody good governance. It's a sign of progress when nations focus on the prosperity and security of their people, promoting a better quality of life for everyone.Thank you for being a fair person. Love Singapore. By the way, Singapore is not part of China for those ignorant people.

Dont ask Pinos about China, they love to live in US and have the America Dream.

Please keep up the good work once again, another outstanding video… No real opinion on the sound from your little mic below your neck. Just happy that you’re enjoying life in a wonderful wonderful country and I look forward to returning to China via Shanghai in about two weeks🎉🎉🎉

i dont blame philippinos they are manipulated by the US

I’ve just returned back to uk from my trip to Hong Kong, but did nip over to China twice, not been for over 30 years and have to say i loved it! And can’t wait to go again! ❤ 🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳 felt safe and felt free!

When the housing speculation burst they said China is in trouble but when the housing prices goes down they also paint a doomsday scenario. When there is inflation and everything is expensive and unaffordable they said China economy is going bust. Then when prices of goods drop they say the same doomsday narrative. Inflation is bad, deflation is also bad, housing prices low is bad, high is also bad. So if everything is bad in whatever situation then there can never be good. And that's what they would have you believe. There us a good advantage here for the naysayers, they kept their populations oblivious of how bad actually their own situation is.

Chinese really don't care about what Philippines say. We all know that Philippines are acting on behave of US. The conflicts are artificial. Just following orders. But in couple years, when US asks another nation to make conflict with China, Philippines will suddenly become China's friends again. They will blame their previous President for bad behaviors and now they are willing to "set aside the differences and work together." China will smile and gladly accept the gesture and will work with them, just like working with Australia who had conflicts with China several years back. It is a never-ending-game of conflict and propaganda. US needs to stay in Asia under the narrative that it is protecting the region against "Asians themselves." The "acts" of having conflicts are important to support such a narrative. For China and Chinese, they just don't care. They have seen through the acts. In facts, most people in Asia and the world have seen through the acts. But we are living in the world of "make believe." So, let's play along.

A person with a clear mind knows everything, inside out. You deserve a honour degree in Nanning university. Your sharing make our world a better place. Thank you.

Philippinos in china are working hard and making better money then in the Philippines. Philippinos in the Philippines is getting bang bang thank you mam from the American soldiers 😅

Good job, Gweilo, exactly my sentiment. You're right. Like any other country China may not be perfect but it's trying hard for it's people.

Just today, Japan's NHK International again reported on an ethnically Chinese former mayor of some place in the Philippines who was extradited from Indonesia. The report made her out to be some Chinese national infiltrator pretending to be a Filipino national who was enabling gambling and people trafficking. Whether the claims against her are true or not, if this was exclusively the kind of news I heard, I would think the same way as the expats and locals there, too. NHK also mentioned China's plans to place anti dumping tariffs on Canadian canola oil like with Australian wine some years ago. I wonder what Canadians think about this

China’s government has a different approach than what people in the West are used to. It’s not just about being authoritarian; it’s more about making sure the country stays stable, safe, and prosperous. There’s a kind of understanding between the government and the people: the government works to improve the economy, build good infrastructure, and maintain security, and in return, people follow certain rules, like limits on political speech. This approach is rooted in Confucian values, which focus on the collective good, respect for authority, and keeping things running smoothly. Most people in China today, especially the younger generation, don’t feel repressed- they live with a strong sense of security, affordable living, and modern comforts. The surveillance and censorship are there to prevent chaos and keep things stable. While some might see that as restrictive, many in China feel it helps guarantee the kind of freedom they care about-like being able to live without worrying about instability. So, it’s less about the government just controlling people and more about finding a balance where everyone benefits from a stable, growing society.

It is like people conquered by Roman. They were told now they are Romans but were stilling living in their poor neighborhoods. They have to pay tax to Roman. They have to die for Roman. And some could come to Roman to watch the gladiators at the Colosseum. Roman being number 1 is the most important thing. Who cares if you have to work as maids and low wage workers. And Macros was not evil?

I lived in Taiwan for 10 years and visited China a few times. BIG difference - perhaps not in day-to-day life (going to work, eating out, putting kids in school, etc...), but politically and socially, the Taiwanese people are engaged in their own government - they don't just watch while some ruling party decides for them what they will do as a country - they have a say. They vote for all levels of government. They have total free speech - they can openly criticize their government, their leaders, their political parties, etc... It makes a big difference in how they feel about their country. At the same time, their economy is doing great, crime is very low, it's just as safe walking the streets at night as it is in Japan, etc... Oh, and they have complete religious freedom - the government does not involve itself in religious affairs in any way. All reasons why the majority of Taiwanese people don't want to be ruled by the PRC, ever.

What do you expect of Sillipines? They consider themselves as white men of Asean and very proud of it. We people of Asean knows and let it be. 😂

One cannot honestly compare the Philippines to China today where there is no comparison whatsoever. It’s like one highly developed superpower with the latest technology & infrastructures to a rather primitive country where poverty, economically underdeveloped , social backwardness, drug addiction & rampant corruption among the political elites ; is just an irrelevant exercise in futility. China would soon be the formidable global power , both militarily & economically among the world’s few superpowers in existence today.!

Kirk all the other ASEAN countries know the Pinoi is US favourites Lap pooch.. they will pay a very high price at the instigation of uncle sam over a sandbank.. to call them stupid is beyond belief.. but some of their intellectual are waking up.. but the end is near for the US.. the US bread and circus shebang on the 5th of November is only 8 weeks away.. many believe the long waited crash will take place.. kirk you need to go to India and make a video there..

👍👍👍Thanks 👏👏👏

You may comment on lastest news about Custom dispute between Canada and China. Canada follows US to set 100% tariffs against Chinese EV cars. China hits back to raise the tariff against Canola from Canada.

There are many things to admire about China: the Beautiful Karst Mountains, delicious food, a train network that would be fun to take, the Sanyo island resorts, and the gleaming cities. It would be fun to visit (I hope the knife wielders are now under control).

That mic/recording setup is only working on one channel. Reminds me of some of the old videos that were only one-channel recordings.

Absence of alcohol consumption going on 5 days, feeling great ! Kirk give it a try !

First-hand experience is the best. What's in the news is subjective.

In fact, what Western propaganda has done to China has actually made China even more famous and people now know more about China's extraordinary culture, food, scenery and technology❣️🇨🇳

Not stereo sound...only single channel

This is a good one! Krik! ❤😊

You'r Rode setup sound was better - I never mind the background noise. This sounds more metal /robot like

Good video content. except I am getting sound from the right sound channel .. left speaker nada

echo chambers also happens in western "democratic" nations

Your new mike amplifies your breathing.

i don't know what kind of mic this is but this is not good. a very loud rising noise and when you speak the noise dampens strongly. it seems as if you are walking along the sea. your voice disappears in the background of the sea sound. i like the old setup.

It’s American indoctrination c/o N E D. Sinophobia is ripe in the Philippines due to rampant colonial mentality.

Thank you for sharing yhe truth. I think it's their lose for believing something they have never been to.

I think Filipina need a better education system so they will have better life and will know the truth

Sound is only on the right but, yeah, I’m afraid that someday there may be a lot of people escaping to China because of all the craziness in the world. China is safer.

It all depends on what Washington Politicians and their Obedient Media say about China

Thanks for sharing and surfacing the truth. 👏👍

thank god you are okay back in cn stay safe PEACE

You did not mentioned how the Chinese Filipinos think of China.

Your video sound only from right, left no sound .

There's alot of distortion with this mic. I suggest that you pick up a wireless DJI mic or just stick to your previous setup.

“We prefer to eat Pag Pag”

Nice one, twin your mic channels boss. Hope all is good

I prefer the other mic cause the noise in the background added to the atmosphere of the video

The sound only on one side in my headphone.

I'd be more interested is asking what Singapore thinks of China? The PI has moved itself to the lowest status of the SE Asian countries, however nice and beautiful the people are. But Singapore, they got it going on. But then again are managed by ethnic Chinese. Go figure.

every breath makes a sound

Thank you for your sharing🙏

Kirk, no audio one side. Too loud on your breath intakes. Before better.

The new mic 🎤 is so good that I can hear your gasping and breathing, Gweilo60 😅

Love your video! Hug fan of yours!

I agree with you. I am a Filipino.

Good point, keep it going my friend.

The truth is the truth ....... go visit both countries & see for yourself Definitely will know which is the villian & which is the better

Many Pinoy nanies in HK SAR of the PRC 😂😂😂😂😂😂 We call them Maria

Thanks for revealing the truth!

The mic is not that great, a lot of “noise” and only on my right side too. Your old one is better!

Agree 💯%.

If you want what actually feel like living under the evil corrupted authoritarian dictatorship, come to Burma

"Xi Da Da" Should Be Superstar At "Sa Pinas" Like "Pac Man" ...... Emmanuel Dapidran Pacquiao CLH (locally [pɐkˈjaʊ]; born December 17, 1978) is a Filipino politician, businessman, former professional basketball player and former professional boxer. Nicknamed "PacMan", he is widely regarded as one of the greatest professional boxers of all time.

I thought you have a hairy worm glued to it, nice, welcome back to China, we like you

This new microphone is not good-------------sound strange

❤❤

I'm here to practice English listening😊

New mike is terrible, background noise filtering works, but only when you talk. In between it comes back a lot louder than previously. Bin that thing!

Better attach that directional mic to your camera

Hey man. I like your channel and will continue to watch you. Its OK your sound is still mono. Wait............ It is my ear phones. You are awesome man. Stay healthy.

Hi Gweilo. The sound quality from your microphone is good, but the sound is unbalanced and mainly audible to the right ear. This might be something that happened in your production editing.

96 children die of starvation every day in the Philippines. Maybe Marcos Jnr could concentrate on this problem. I am an Australian. Dont worry what most Australians think about PRC. Most Australians are racists. I am an Australian. Go well mate.

Putting things in the right perspective, the negative Filipino perception of China is not on the people but it's CCP govt's aggresive behavior of grabbing parts of Phil territories ( China is arbitrarily claiming the entire intrntnl South China Sea w its dash line encroaching on EEZ seas of Phils,Vietnam,Malaysia,Indonesia & Brunei. Aside from that,during the China-friendly posture of frmr Phil P Duterte's time,China had free access to Phils' EEZ sea but devastated it w its destructive-to-sealife & ecosystem excavations for its militarized artificial islands,harrassments of Phil fish/naval boats ALL in Phils' own EEZ sea.Add to that China's attempt to grab islets,reefs,shoals of the Phils.Reaon why now Phil P Marcos is taking a strong stance,overwhelmly agreed to by the Filipinos. Thus the current conflicts w China not only w Phils but other cited nations which seas also are encroached by China's dash line claim yet all still maintain healthy trade w China.

if someone hears it over and over they will believe

🎉🎉

Hi Gweilo, your new mic works great ! Your voice is in the forefront. Love ypur videos, keep it coming !! Thank you!❤

The new mic sounds a bit muffled, you may want to try it without the furry cover.

Ask not what they think of others but what others think of them is more interesting . Just ask youtuber Sheks Man . He visited ph recently n gave his no holds bar take lol

I can only hear audio out of one speaker.

The automatically generated English language on your video cannot appear in Chinese characters when selecting Auto Translate into Chinese. You may be using the wrong method or software when editing the video. It's a pity that many chinese missed this video because most Chinese people don't understand English. 😅

Crazy how RU-vid keeps deleting comments.

Sorry, but you have a wavy background noice, like you are by the sea. Maybe because you are not standing still.

✌✌✌

They'd rather pick up garbage for a living

Did you hear human organ harvest in the country?

Dangerous country Philippine. Kidnapping is so common.😊

20 Billions! Noo, 200 Billions! lMao

Heard some Westerners say they don't want to lose their souls by going to China, lmao

The audio is not better than before. ;)
