Why I Live in China and REFUSE to Move Back to America 

I'm a Chico, CA citizen, and have been in CN more than 17 years, now in Shenzhen. I've shared the same reasons with people, but not as lucidly as you have! One of my big fears is that if the US gov't (aka MIC) does anything stupid (stupider than they have already been doing), you and I and other US citizens could be deported. One thing I'll add is culture: I'm a composer, and use my music to promote peace, and another reason is that China is the people who is leading the world to Peace! 🌹

Been living here in China for almost 7 years. Im about to get my ID ( basically green card here ) because im married to a Chinese. and yea.. 0 struggle here.. so much peace! A real place to raise a family and enjoy LIFE.

your baby boy is so cute and handsome . Have a wonderful and happy life in China👍

China is so so safe, that was a smart move you and your husband made. Your son is very cute. ❤❤❤ God bless your family

I totally agree with you. Safety is most valuable things for me too! China is so safe!

Thanks for sharing. It is too late for me as a 71 year old man to move to China now. But I would grab all possible chances to visit China for many good, beautiful and wonderful reasons. Looking forward to see more videos from you.

From Malaysia. Travelled ( By Bike and back packing ) in US and China in the 2010. Already i felt that it is MUCH safer in China than in US. And I am a season backpacker with lots of experience. Felt really "Afraid" in certain cities and location in US ,But in China I could not even care less when walking along at midnight on a deserted street. SAFETY when travelling is most important when travelling Solo.

I am with you Bee. I haven't been back to the states since 2017. I think life in China is amazing.

China is safe with excellent security and great infrastructure. My son work in China and we love China 🇨🇳

Completely agree with your points. I would also add that the Chinese society are taught to respect others so this also helps with reducing crime/increasing safety

I agree! We are moving back to Beijing again at the end of this summer and I am so excited. Also, as a Louisianian, I am really excited to see Nola is still open in Beijing! Yay!

1000% agree on the safety aspect. Once you experience that sense of safety, your life just opens up not having to even factor that into your day.

Agree. I am. Scandinavian. If I am not in China I am longing to get there. Guilin is my favorite.

3年前，我在网上买了一个西瓜，放在门口2个晚上没拿，结果不见了。我报了警，5分钟不到来了两个警察，开始调监控(当时是晚上8，9点的样子)。我原来只想让警察知道有人有人偷快递，西瓜无所谓，但是没想到，警察真的认真帮我找起西瓜了！ 他们一路调监控，回看了很多录像，结果真找到了嫌疑人，然后监控追踪到了电梯，再从电梯监控追到了地下停车库，再从停车库里监控追到了偷西瓜的男人开的助动车，比对了车牌，凌晨1点左右给我打电话，说人找到了，在警局！西瓜已经被吃了，要赔我钱。另外偷西瓜的人有点精神病(有精神病证明)他们只能批评教育。 总之，这一顿操作下来，我也挺震惊的，一个西瓜而已，我也说了我无所谓，结果警察几个小时帮我找到人。 相比美国这么多零元购，警察不动如山，中国警察可能没那么多刺激的案件要处理，所以更愿意帮助我们这种小老板姓吧。

You said right ,China is a safety place and everything are so convient,and everything are so cheap ,I love China too

Lady you are lucky, you are smart and left while you can... there are so many Americans who can't and / or are still deluded/ brainwashed by the government to think that the hell that they are living in is actually normal.

I'm Chinese and my wife is American. We met in Chengdu, China where happen to be my hometown. We've lived in the united States about a half decade now. We are thinking to move back to China next year -- the city got a loooot better, develop a lot more in just 4 years when i went back visit. I was shocked by how clean, Safe and cheap it is Which i took for granted. The united States unfortunately goes the opposite way. Wokeness, homeless, crazy cost of living, illegal immigrants. Drugs.....I love America. But the America now it's not the America i Loved. Planning to get my wife Chinese greencard down the road.

Just found your channel. I’m working hard in the UK to rise my kids but only that’s all complete I plan to go back to my ancestry china to live out the next chapter of my life.

I am from Guangdong of China. I would like to point out one thing that cameras are not the critical reason for less and less crimes in China. As you can see robber wearing mask to rob in the bank where has many camaras in the U.S. During the 90s when I was a kid, there are a lot of crimes including stealing and drug abuse , but as time went by, less and less such things happened, and there are many reasons for this I think. As economy develops, people can find opportunities making money everywhere easily, so why risk stealing and robbing, which will face severe punishment in the end. And the society has developped a culture worshipping those winners in both learning and work, it is shameful for those that do not study hard and work hard. American culture encourage personality, freedom and even enjoy violence, as can be seen in movie and games everywhere, which helps crimes and drug abuse. But sure it helps to make popular TV series and popular movie as well. And freedom is something many dream of in this world, which also has something to do with creativity I think. It is complicated to say which is better, or rather, which is worse.

Well, for low crimes, cameras is one reason, but the fundamental reason is that almost everyone has food to eat and has house to live in, so they are not getting desperate.

You missed the most important point when you mentioned about safety and almost crime free environment…. Chinese are brought up to respect each other and their properties.. it’s in the Culture and Education..

you‘re such an elegant woman, very comfortable story-telling, thanks, and how you met your husband LOL

TBH, you are very smart and reasonable for refusing to move back to the US.

My first visit to china and i encounter difficulty getting grab because of registration problems. The police noticed i was besides the road for long time and helped me call the hotel , took pictures of us to forward to the hotel driver to identify us. Thanks. This would never had happened in my country.

I am a Chinese American living in the United States for 36 years. I am planning to retire soon and move back in China. During this 36 years I have witnessed US going down the hill and it’s accelerating with those two old crazy guys fighting for White House.

Share the experience of my recent travel to Shanghai. I stayed in a hotel in Beijing, I need to meet with a business partner in Shanghai the next day. The two cities are about 800 miles apart. I left my hotel at 6am the next day , took subway to Beijing South Railway station, got on the high-speed train at 7am, arrived in Shanghai at 11:30am, took taxi to a restaurant to have lunch with my colleagues at 12:30pm, then we went to office to meet with my business partner at 2:30pm, the meeting was over at about 5pm, then I called Gao-De taxi (similar to Uber in the US) to Shanghai Railway station, took the high-speed train to Beijing at 7pm, arrived in Beijing at 11pm, and then took subway (inside the railway station) back to my hotel. I made the Beijing-Shanghai business travel in just one day.

People seem to welcome foreigners and are easily impressed by your appearance, I am an average looking guy, yet people take photos of me in China, lol. Oh and cost of living is fantastic, and foods are great, very easy to get around, the stations are state of art and huge.

America has lost its glitter.

i totally get it! i visited China several years ago (Chengdu), and was blown away by the quality of life. Coming back to America was kind of a let-down.

I am currently on my fourth trip travelling in China with my Chinese girlfriend. I'm from Australia and blown away for all the points that you say. I have one more to add... It's so futuristic. I am flying along the freeways of the Yunnan province in a quiet fast mostly self-driving electric vehicle, at a fraction of the price to rent and recharge compared to other places in the world. I love it here

ur so beautiful! Have a wonderful and happy life in China!

I'm glad you love to stay in china and at the same time you will be feel safe.

The low crime rate is not only due to cameras everywhere.There is an ancient Chinese saying:"仓廪实而知礼节，衣食足而知荣辱",The meaning is: Only when the people have sufficient food can they understand etiquette, and only when they have no worries about food and clothing can they know honor and disgrace.We never lack food, clothing, shelter, and there is no need to steal. I am 25 years old and have never seen drugs, nor have I heard of any classmates or friends around me taking drugs. The government has protected us very well, and we can always respond quickly to any disaster. Let me give an example of a recent earthquake. The 8-magnitude earthquake in Jishishan County, China occurred at 23:59 midnight, and the first batch of rescue forces arrived 35 minutes after the earthquake; 2 hours and 40 minutes later, the Governor and Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee of Gansu Province arrived in disaster area one; The main rescue team arrived 4 hours after the earthquake; The arrival time of the first batch of materials 6 hours after the earthquake; In the morning, people have already eaten steaming hot noodles; The rescue work was completed 16 hours after the earthquake, and all power and transportation infrastructure were restored. In China, the government's responsibility is to serve the people. If local governments engage in dereliction of duty, they will be held accountable by the central government. Once held accountable, a large number of senior officials will be dismissed and punished. So every local government is conducting various disaster drills in order to respond quickly in the event of a natural disaster.

You are really a good mother. putting your children priorities ahead of everything.. Yes , China is very safe

I was surprised and impressed to learn how easy it was to get medical attention (something that would take months in the States to schedule) and the unbelievably low cost too. Additionally, a tourist who came back from China mentioned several interesting magical treatments for different ailments, such as an ointment that relieved burn pains immediately. I, myself, years ago, did lose 90% of my addiction to smoking via acupuncture, but not 100% (achieving 100% would require sheer willpower).

I'm an American citizen too。 but really love to live in China for the reasons you talked about

Great to see you enjoying life in China.

another important or convenient reason is the medicare system. You can walk into a hospital anytime without Dr's appointment or referral with very low cost.

Wise move. Many would love to leave the sinking ship of US or UK but can't. You're lucky you could.

Your feeling is common to almost all foreigners visiting China. Just enjoy and explore more.

I was born in Hong Kong and raised in New York. My dream is to retire in China but I don't know if that will be possible. At the very least I'd like to visit China for months at a time. And yes, would love to know more about how you and your husband met, and where in the US you are from. Blessings.

It is so good to hear the truth and fair comments about China. Well said

Thanks for sharing 👍. You sold me on all your points ❤

I read a lot of talking about China by those foreigners who live in China, the first thing they appreciate is "safety"

So true what you said. So happy that you're happy here. Live well and prosper ❤❤❤🖖🖖🖖and more videos about your family and travels and experiences ❤❤❤

I am in awe with the modernity, and progressive society plus all the important rhings you mentioned such as safety and convenirnce in China today. You certainly give a genuine review of life in China!

Last week, I went to Los Angeles for business travel, the bottled water in China is 2RMB, while on the street of LA, it's 2 USD. I know I can expense it, but still didn't buy because I think it's crazy😅 I stayed in a hotel in Santa Monica, I got up early due to jetlag, Like In China, I tried to walk around, but I came back to hotel after couple minutes because quite a lot homeless guys on the street, some of them are talking to nobody. 😅

I'm jealous.. I'm stuck in this propaganda shethole of a country and would love to leave. Unfortunately, it takes alot of money to move.

The so called American Dream has turned into American nightmare for those who are still living there! 😮

You forgot to mention that all the beautiful women are in China. All beautiful Chinese local girls and foreign girls are in China. The atmosphere in China is very romantic, it’s hard to explain but maybe it’s the warm breeze in a summer night or the simple glee inside you want to cling to one you are thinking about, the air you breathe, even amidst the hustle bustle, that tingling of the heart appears.

UK has the most cameras in the world once but it's not even safe there. People are just different in the West.

China law respected law abiding citizen and punishing a criminals. Can't say same with America, too many criminals on the street.

You’re living a life of your dream. For some other people that are being told nonsense, that kind of life can only be just that: a dream. I pity them. A pleasant video to watch 👍

Preach sister. :) Enjoy your life in China.

I have lived in China 26 years and I am not bugging

Thank you for sharing your personal experience to the world. You are awesome 👍👍👍

Superb video thank you (I live in China since 20 years ago)

Owning a car is not so good now in many countries. My insurance has gone up by about 15% even though the insured amount has gone down. Then there's the price of fuel that keeps going up because of the fracturing of global supply chains. Unfortunately, my country doesn't have the convenient public transport that China has.

Spot on, my senements also, going on 30 years in China 🇨🇳❤️😅

I don't think they are strict on drugs because of the opium wars. They are strict about it because they exercise common sense.

Wishing you and your family all the very best 👍♥️🙏

what a great video. I've heard the points before, but I liked the presentation

China is not perfect, but the few plus points you said about living in china are spot on! Living quality, healthcare and the conveniences for the people are very much better than many of the Western countries.

please share your story with your husband, love to hear that

When I was studying in the United States, a classmate once told me that he was dragging his suitcase down the streets of Seattle in the early hours of the morning when he was followed by several people. Fortunately, a taxi driver came along and urged him to get in quickly; otherwise, he might have been in danger. In contrast, in China, we often stay out late for midnight snacks until two or three in the morning and then walk home without a second thought.

In my Midwestern city of population density less than 3 people per acre, I get to enjoy both safety _and_ freedom (which, as it turns out, aren't mutually exclusive everywhere).

i am malaysian chinese my wife is from inner Mongolia now we are living in dongguan city. i have living in china already 5 year. i totally agree all your point and i even always take a video to post on my Facebook to tell all my friend how safe is china and even how clean is china . i had an experience on my self before. one day i have a discussion with one of my friend who is from india , so after we finished our discussion i had left my power bank in a coffee house when we went back and this power bank is a bit expensive . so when i reach home i just know that i left my power bank in the coffee house and i drive back to that coffee house to try to get back , when i reach there i had see my power bank still on that table and on one is taken. so in china even you left your stuff in the table and just walk away after an hour when you back to that table all your stuff still in there.

It's Affordable, not cheap😊

Yeah... China is safe with or without cameras. It's probably due in a large part to the culture in China and other East Asian territories which places the community good above self. Cameras are required for technology and surveillance is part of that, and why not? However, with cameras, you can be assured that you are like 100% safe that even an occasional drunkard can't get away with any crimes, petty or otherwise. And, why not? London, Britain has the highest number of CCTVs per capita, and yet the darn place is rife with crimes, the homeless, etc. And, OMG, the Brits, the pariah politicians, journalists, etc. want to lecture other people on freedom and safety, ethics, blah blah blah... they should take care of themselves first. OMG!

I was eating hamburgers in America, and a black man put a gun to my back, and nobody cared about me.

YT popped your channel onto my phone, so I'm watching you for the first time. I've been to your country several times and every time, I just couldn't wait to get out. Driving 30 mins for a pharmacy is "near". Last June we walked across the homeless and boarded-up city centres...and very limited food offerings. That's my memory for a vacation. Did you just described paradise?

I just moved to China from the UK, agree with everything you have said .Peace and JaYoe

I’m going to your hometown next week, I’m scared now 😮

You expose american propaganda. 🤣 Love from sLOVEnia 🇸🇮

You forgot to say the most important point, America is a "No - culture" and China has the oldest culture, and that means it has lasted and adapted and has been proven. ❤❤❤

Great video! The feeling of safety is something that many of us in the USA have no concept of anymore. In my city, crime is rampant and unavoidable, it just wears you down. Would love to see more of your videos and one of how you met your spouse!

your vlogs make me easy

Subscribed. Like your video from Australia.

Thank you for promoting the truth.

I personally think the cost of living is my number one reason for liking China, even though I don't live in China, I always like to go back for more, because how cheap it is, and how much further my dollar stretches, shop like a billionaire anyone? (Not an ad for temu), it just feels like I am richer than I actually am, and became someone famous while living in China, that is the vibe.

If you are a foreigner who knows a little Chinese, especially a white person, staying in China is a good choice, but for Chinese people, there is too much meaningless competition in this place

北京是个很好的地方，选择住在中国是非常明智的，中国的发展太快太好了。祝您全家身体健康，幸福快乐。

what a wonderful girl, wish you have a wonderful life in China with your family. I m a chinese n I used to study in NY, been to most of the famous places in USA. Used to feel amazing in US, not anymore. Now I m not even interested in vacation in USA, things havnt change in like 20 yrs over there. Guns, drugs, transportation, and prices went out of the roof and even many Americans cannot afford need to live on the streets. Meanwhile China is full of amazing places, and getting better everyday

Dear, you are beautiful and your husband is so lucky 😍💝

One thing that I highly agree with you is "the safety in daily life"♥️👋👋👋

I am Chinese and welcome anyone to travel to China, you will have a perfect travel experience.

6:21 Your little boy is very cute. Well, you and your bigger boy seem like a match made in heaven. Very compatible. Very cool. Love to know more about you guys. 😍🥰😘

❤❤❤❤❤Thanks for sharing your point of view on life in China. Greeti gs from France.❤❤❤❤❤

You are correct about the crazy gun violence in the US..I’m in LA and I have to be careful where I go and when ..

不喜欢北京的拥挤，去一次懵一次，实在钦佩你的乐观，我还是最喜欢住在小城市，真不比一线城市差太多，而且物价更低。

I would live in China if I could.

Hi BeeRose, you are so lucky to live in my favourite country. I moved from UK to China, and lived there for 5 years, until I married my Chinese sweetheart. China is such a beautiful safe country.

Main reason of no thief in China is because people can easily make their life by being a delivery guy or Uber eats guy, why steal? The delivery guy in my area can make more than 2k usd per month . Enough for a family

Live in the Netherlands you have also human rights best infrastructure, and very good health care

I'm so happy I made productive decisions about my finances that changed my life forever,hoping to retire next year.. Investment should always be on any creative man's heart for success in life

I dream of living in China!

My husband felt that he had a target on his back the last time he was in Shanghai. He still gets invitations, but since foreign economists have been getting arrested lately, he has declined all invitations. Many native Chinese have moved to Japan because the cost of living is less than China’s, the healthcare is free, and the stress is less-even in overcrowded Tokyo. Plus, in Japan, people work only 40 hours a week!

That is very lucky for you, I'm here with my wife, she is Chinese, and we moved here last August after the wedding in Italy. My problem is that I don't have a degree, and my skills are mainly based on photography, videography, and social media. Plus, I worked fro 7 years in Dublin for Meta, but again, without a degree in China, I look as if i am not quilified. Im struggling as well coz I am not an English speaker, therefore, forget the teaching jobs. I'm applying to any job offers that are related to what I am able to do, but no one is replying me. Im based in Xiamen, if you have any suggestion, even for online job, pleas any advice would be really appreciated. But I do agree with your words on the video, besied my issues, Im loving this country. Cheers.
