I think for a foreigner, the key to living a happy life in China is to learn the Mandarin language which will immediately open the door to understanding everything about China and the Chinese way of life through communication and asking the right questions to get the answers you need, in the different situations you are in.

I’ve traveled all over with all my stuff and have never had an issue, but at home in the US, I constantly have to watch my back (and that’s whether I’m in a nice area or back in the hood 😂). Anyways, great content as always!

American exceptionalism myth. Americans have to believe that other countries are shittier in some ways in order to preserve the myth that America is number one in every area, or at least in areas they think matter. Rivals of the US are especially denigrated in their corpo-state media because there is no way a rival can be anything but dirt in the ground. But they can't make their rival looks absolutely weak because then they won't be as threatening so countries like China is simultaneously both lousy and an existential threat. This technique was used by the Nazis to both dehumanize Jews and made them an existential threat. Fascist gonna fascist.

Now I live in Canada and I want to see all the progress that China has had.

Most of the difficulties you encountered in China are somewhat surface level. It's culture shock and difficulty in assimilation in language and culture. What you don't have is systemic difficulties where you will encounter problems that is unsolvable like the ability to make a livable wage, high rent and healthcare, lack of public transport, costly and shitty insurance, shitty safety, crushing poverty, basically the things that allow a person to live properly. Those problems you encounter in the US. I lived in the US for over ten years, cultural assimilation is possible and that was the easy part, all you need is to be willing to adapt and learn and be humble to accept the values of the local. But overcoming systemic problem is impossible because you cannot change the country at the core.

@AleeseLightyear Жыл бұрын

Surface level for sure. I think some of the deeper issues that I’ve met in China are too complicated to explain to people who don’t understand the systems of China. Also, I don’t want to talk about those things on my channel.

Love this video! It's your honest take from experience. China definitely has its challenges but for me SAFETY means more than anything. The fact that majority of Black travelers/those that live abroad say they can "randomly leave their camera gear" around while in China and being able to take a taxi solo in the middle of the night from the club without issue says a lot because we cannot do that in some countries especially ones where Black ppl swear is amazing like Medellín without being robbed.

@daviddai1867 Жыл бұрын

As a Chinese, I strongly suggest you not to leave camera gear around. Although China is gererally pretty safe (no mass shooting, no armed), there is still plenty of THIEVES, 1. my iphone was stolen in a subway train in Guangzhou, it was super crowdy in the train and someone must had grabbed my phone from my pocket and I didn't even noticed. 2. my sister's camera set was stolen in the Beijing International Airport during midnight. She was tired that time and fell alseep with the camera hanging on her neck. An hour later when she woke up the camera's gone. So all I'm trying to proof here is: like anywhere else in the world, even in China, don't challenge human nature, please watch closely to your properties. And welcome to China~~

在中国大陆地区，绝大多数中国人不认为公共场所的摄像头是侵犯个人隐私，因为数据是由官方管理的，正常情况下都不会被任何机构浏览。中国人认为担心自己被摄像头记录的人大概率是准备犯罪的人😂 事实上，公共场所摄像头只有在发生犯罪事件时，相关摄像头记录才会被警察检查内容。正常情况下，任何警察都很难访问那些视频，因为要申请批准才能得到临时权限。如果有警察使用非法手段浏览了那些视频，那么，他的后果很严重，因为他犯罪了！

When I was studying in Beijing, once in subway home my phone was stolen, but since I was wearing a fluffy jacket I wasn't aware at all when someone reached my pocket, and that was a new iphone earned from internship 🥹. I went to the police and saw 2 other ladies got their electronic device stolen on the same day. It was not found back though. Just be careful! And also since China is overall so safe, funny that it was the first time I realized there were indeed criminals near me hahaha

Huge amount has changed in China. I was there 15 years ago and it was like a free country (as long as you don't criticize government). I was there last month and now it's totally locked down state. You can't access any internet outside China. As a foreigner, you can bring in money, but can't take out any significant sums out of China. You can't open a bank account. You can't buy any gold. Lot of can't for foreigners in China. And CCP may place exit ban on any foreigner to keep them in China as long as they want. No wonder I saw very few foreigners in Shanghai this trip where as the place was overflowing with foreigners 15 years ago.
