You are not just a vlogger, but a poet as well. Your videos and narrations have a poetic side to them

I've lived in China for 11 years, when I go back to my country of origin (Australia) I tell the people what their government and media tell them about China is nothing but propaganda, and I encourage them to go there and see China for themself.

I am around sixty-year-old retired. I traveled to China last month with my wife and ninety-five-year-old aunt, we stayed there for a month. After landing in Beijing, we traveled to Xian, Chongqing, Shanghai and Guangzhou all by the bullet train with my aunt in her wheelchair. To summarize, China in one word is fantastic and so are Chinese people. We plan to visit again this coming September but this time to the Sichuan food trail as well as tech trail starting with Chengdu and beyond. Xie Xie China.

Not only Americans but everyone in the world should understand what freedom is all about. Freedom can only be achieved if we can live safely and comfortably without feeling afraid of threats from street thugs, criminals, pickpockets, thieves, robbers, rapists, extortionists, staying at home without feeling afraid, leaving the house in the morning, afternoon and evening, we feel safe and no need to worry of getting attacked or robbed. In life we do not need to be frightened with religion. If you want to worship, it's okay, it is also okay if you chose not to, there's no threat of going to hell, being told with this and that lies which are no different from seeing animal dung. No more fighting and killing for religion and ideology. Freedom is not about speech, free to criticise, to scold or to insult others, especially a country leader. It is the duty of the state officers and leaders to work hard to ensure the safety of their people, so that their people can enjoy a safe and comfortable life, instead of living in a state of anxiety and worry. The government should take care the health and safety for every subject as taxpayer. Except for natural catastrophy, fire or accidents, the subjects do not need to buy other kind of safety insurance, such as for robbery and theft. When a country has already been able to achieve all this, then we can call it "FREEDOM".

So very true, we visited China for 1st time, we have never felt so free, no one trying to scam you, no beggars or homeless in Beijing or Shanghai we had seen for 3 weeks; the streets are so clean, unbelievable for cities of 25 million to 30 million each! When we got back to Australia, we see filth and lots of homelessness and our biggest cities are only 5-6 million each And China is so technologically advanced than Australia and also US which we visited many times, no comparison with US full of crimes and guns!!!

The USA gov't just doesn't want to admit that there are actually countries that are safer and better than they are.

Hello, I'm the individual Sheku interviewed in this video. After reading through some of the comments, I'd like to clarify a few points. 


Firstly, the interview wasn't politically driven; it consisted of simple questions comparing certain aspects between the USA and China. I want to emphasize that I don't speak for Chinese people; my responses are based solely on my personal experience as a foreigner teaching in China for just a year. It's crucial to recognize this distinction. 

Secondly, the definition of culture in the US differs from that in China. As I highlighted in one of my responses, the US lacks a cohesive culture in the same manner as China. The US is a melting pot of cultures, but regrettably, in recent years, this diversity has led to increased divisions (e.g., a rise in identity politics). It's important to note that I'm not implying the US is inherently negative or lacking in culture. Instead, I emphasize that comparing the two is challenging due to the distinct cultural structures inherent in the US and China, respectively. I may have not expressed myself as clearly as I could have regarding this point. I can understand the criticism. 
 Thirdly, the nature of my 'accent' is irrelevant to the conversation. If you must know, I grew up in a bilingual household. I am indeed a US citizen, born there and filing taxes there. As a legal requirement, I continue to file and pay taxes in the US even though I'm abroad. The 'accent' should not be used to undermine my perspective as an American citizen, who votes and continues to fulfill tax obligations towards the US. 

Moreover, being a citizen of the following countries: UK, Canada, USA, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa, is a mandatory requirement to become an English teacher in China. You can verify this information yourself, as it is readily available online. 
 Finally, it's essential to understand my role here. I'm an English teacher, not a diplomat, political scientist, or political historian. I'm not here to influence Chinese legislation, government, or power structures. I am here to teach English to children and young adults. The interview aimed to explore cultural, safety, and food differences. I've provided my answers in the most unbiased and honest manner. 
 I'm not Chinese; I'm American. My focus is on matters in my own country, and I appreciate the opportunity to share my experiences without veering into areas beyond my expertise or knowledge. 

 Thank you for understanding.

I am pleased to see more and more foreign young people not just going to China but doing vlogs on their personal experiences to dispel those lies on China constantly written in the collective west. Here’s a new subscriber from England

Wow. This girl is open minded, unbiased and SOOO pretty! What a breadth of fresh air to listen to an American genuinely speaking good about China. 👍🏻

She has a mature and wise mind , noble personality , a very good character to be a teacher. Also Beauty from both inside and outside.

I've been to many places in China and love the land and the people.

''Come here and see for yourself.'' I've been always saying this to the haters of China and eventually found they didn't care about the truth. The funny thing is that most of them couldn't even afford a trip to China.😂

I've visited China four times and saw different regions. Every time I've visited... I've seen big improvements. The China described by the Western media is completely different from the real China I see.The greening of the city is very good, and there are many electric cars on the street, which proves that the Chinese government attaches great importance to environmental protection.What impresses me the most is that life is very convenient, a cashless society, the subway system is very new and clean, and the people are very friendly.Other than some culture shock, You can also go out late at night. China's technological level is beyond my imagination. I feel that the future is in China..I feel China is very safe.But In the US, I dare not go out at night, for fear that black people will shoot me.have fun in China and God bless you.

I believe that the most important freedom is the ability to live a secure and affordable life. A colleague of mine who worked in China for two years shares the sentiment that China is an extremely safe country. This aspect has been discussed extensively, especially for women, and it truly provides a sense of ease and comfort. Furthermore, the prices of daily essentials such as food, clothing, shelter, and transportation are very reasonable, making life in China less burdensome compared to here. Locals fondly enjoy traveling and dining out at restaurants. In our country, my colleague would calculate how to order meals more economically when dining out. However, in China, one only needs to consider what they enjoy and what they would like to try. The traffic, prices, and services in China are so reasonably priced that it stirs up envy. Therefore, from this perspective, Chinese people enjoy the most important and core freedoms.

I have lived in China for 11 years and now settled down in Vietnam. I find East Asia in general very safe, I never had a single incident where I felt I needed to feel worried for my personal safety in the past 13 years in Asia. When I go back to Germany I don't feel nearly at ease as I do in Asia

over here in America - we are crying , screaming and running for our lives from gun violence 🏴‍☠🏴‍☠🏴‍☠ this is so unfair !!!

More people should visit China see for themselves. Too many negative opinions are from the politicians in the West.

I live in Beijing, which is not a perfect place, but it is charming and safe. We look forward to and welcome more overseas tourists to China, including Beijing, to experience it for themselves. In addition, the girl in the video is very beautiful, and the content she expressed does not have any prejudice against China. I like her very much. Thanks to the blogger,You are welcome to continue visiting more cities in China and share your feelings.

China is the model example of safe and peaceful in modern society

Wow, this young lady is so beautiful, graceful, intelligent, kind, genuine, humble, knowledgeable, no nonsense, and incredibly mature for her age. Hey young Chinese guys, if she hasn't had an American boyfriend yet please try your lucky, don't be afraid, and try to keep her in China, you can do it. 🎉🎉❤❤😂😂

I was in a supermarket yesterday, a couple walked in and just packed a garbage bag full of beer and walked out without paying, they were drunk and scary. I live in a suburb of Los Angeles and we are afraid of going out at night, this is so true. The other day I was at Trader Joe’s, higher end supermarket, the staff inside asked me to zip up my purse, she said there was a lot of pick pockets and she was asking all customers to be careful, Trader Joe’s is the best and safest supermarket, they have a lot of staff and u can feel the vibe as safe but they care about their clients that’s why they warned us

Welcome to China. I hope more Americans can come to China to experience and enjoy life and foods. Love from China. ❤

she's beautiful! She's real! She's real and beautiful. We hope you interview more people like her, and more people like her come to China for common happiness.

New subscriber here. Keep telling the truth about China. The haters are lashing out cos they have no counter to the truth u tell. Keep it up.

Just went back to china after 8 yrs. The development is amazing. I was like a country pumpkin. I walk in the street at night time. Safe and sound. I dont see any homeless peope on the street. And the street everywhere are full of delicious food. I love you china.

Such a beautiful and good-hearted American young lady. Wishing her all the best in China.

My understanding is it’s very safe in Chinese big cities while it’s quite safe in small town or suburbs in the U.S. We feel relieved that my daughter went to Shanghai for college because no big cities in U.S. could provide the level of safety we expect.

All I see is negativity about China on the news. They talk about the government and all their issues 24/7 but our own country won't even fix the problems in the US which affects ordinary people like me severely, such as cost of living, housing crisis, gun crime, migrant overload and just the overall state of cities brought on by homelessness and drug problems.

So many beautiful places in china. to travel all of china, you will definately take months since it is such a huge country

17:58 It's unfortunate that more than half of the US population barely make their end-of-month paycheck. Due to the high cost of living, some individuals may have to decide whether to pay bills or provide food for the family.

The reason that you get a discount on subway rides is that if you already paid 150 yuan on subway by transit card or so in one month, you would get a 50% discount on each journey until the end of this month. This is very convenient for commuters.

11:10 - I wonder how many Americans actually understand what she meant with regard to safety. The only way to find out, is to experience that yourself. Otherwise you cannot even imagine it.

I’m moving back to china too, living there for three years love it so much

In China there are millions of foreigners there, you can ask them how they are in China, they will say it is good because they have experienced the good of China for themselves.

China is nothing like how western media portrays it. These vlogs from youtubers like yourself are a much more accurate representation. Although I’d recommend visiting China with a local friend who is fluent in the language, I’m lucky that my girlfriend is Chinese so I got to truly experience the culture when I lived and worked there. Also, Chinese people are very interested in and knowledgeable about politics. Something western media and politicians get totally wrong. Every Chinese family member, friend and even random taxi drivers were very open and passionate about their views on the government/world politics.

Thank you for rating my country.

China...one of my favorite places. it is also very unique, and equally complex. A land of isolation in many ways...a throwback to ancient eras of isolation, simplicity, and ethno-centric thinking. You'll find a lot of locked in cultural bias: China. Not different than other places...just so much of it given the population and area of China. A beautiful land...trapped in the past in many ways. God have mercy on the Chinese people. They deserve more.

Thank you for a great video to show the real China. You can be a great ambassador between people from different country.

Noemi is so adorable...

HOLA HERMANO, GOOD JOB... THERE IS ONLY ONE TRUE, AND U ARE PART OF IT...DONT PAY ATTENTION, 2 THE IGNORANT, LIES, PREPAID HATERS...🤑😅LET THEM CONTINUE, LIVING OFF THEIR MISERY...😂🤭HUGS FROM EUROPE...VIVA CH1NA...😜

Great episode. Beautiful story telling, with a poetic vibe.

Another brilliant piece of visual artistry, Sheku!! Thank you for showing the truth about China to the world!

Great narration, music, interview and overall production of capturing what China is really like.

True, living in us for 50 plus years and now in one of the best neighborhood in Dallas every night before bed I need to ensure every is locked, gate is closed, alarm is on, and thumb recognition gun lock opener has battery… my son only 5 asks if I set the alarm. Our school is 10/10 in country…. It’s a part of life ingrained in our society. 😊

Freedom is subjective. Freedom can be the freedom to live freely without any concern of safety or the west; the freedom is bare arms.

Thank you for your amazing writing, style and videography. What an inspiring video

Thanks for sharing this awesome video and your positive experience in China.

I have been to China four times, including visits to my in-laws there, as well as a short stay in HK. I have to say that I have not been disappointed at all. Sure, it is of course hard to maneuver in a country where you don't know the language (and they don't know yours...), but all in all it has totally been worth the money and effort.

wow thanks 4 sharing bro🎉 all the way from South East Asia here.

❤ the video ! can’t wait to see more.

👍！My question is who created that division? I am a Chinese who lives in the U.S. now. American people's hatred towards China is beyond me. I don't know what that kind of hatred comes from? who can tell me? 100 RMB is about 15 dollars.

It seems that quite a few foreigners from English speaking countries are "whingeing" that they have to learn how to speak Chinese in order to get anywhere in China. Fact - people in China speak Chinese. What do they expect? Go to Japan and the people there speak Japanese. Go to Italy and the people there speak Italian. Go to France and surprise, surprise - the people there speak French. Go to Spain and they speak Spanish. In the early days of the California Gold Rush, Chinese who wanted to find a better life in the U.S., have to learn some conversational English and willing to work at any job they could find from hard laboring jobs on the railroad to washing laundry and starting little restaurants. They didn't expect Americans to speak Chinese nor were there any schools available for the Chinese immigrants to teach Chinese to the English speaking students. The same thing was encountered by Italians and Greeks who migrated to the U.S. - they all have to learn English. In fact, not only are there schools that teach Chinese in many Western countries as well as courses being available on line but one can get language translating tools the size of a smartphone - which are all not available in the early years for foreigners. The early migrants were brave and hardy. They didn't whine about the fact that they have to learn and adapt, no matter how hard life would be in the new country where they would be discriminated against. At least in modern China, this does not happen to the western foreigner who is more likely to be accepted as long as they do not do silly things like crime and engage in anti-social acts. These days in China, merely being able to speak English or any foreign language is not enough for one to land a job teaching local Chinese students - China has lifted up the standards for foreign teachers and proper formal qualifications are required to be able to teach. So, if you want to teach any subject, get yourself qualified - just llke in any other country. The world is becoming more and more competitive and "easy street" is fast disappearing.

Noemi should be glad that she is where she is right now. She won’t have to worry a thing of all the sick crimes that may happen to her like, Bexar county, TX drive-by shooting of Novita Brazil 😢. Gee America, you’ve fallen so low indeed 😮.

A fantastic video done simply and beautifully Truth always shines Thank you for sharing

Noemi is a beautiful, smart and nice lady.

I have always thought China NEEDS to allow more normal people to visit it, to find out for themselves. Thank god Prez Xi seems to feel (finally) secure enough to open the door wider to tourists from all around the world. You must let ordinary people - students tourists businessmen - see it for themselves, warts an all. Otherwise you are just giving the bigots free reins to make up all sorts of outrageous lies about you. Wonderful video, thanks for uploading!

The narration is fantastic, and full of poetry

You can buy a penthouse apartment in China for $150,000, and you can rent a large modern 4 bedroom apartment for $300 per month!! I really want to move to China.

We have to admit that America was once a great country. Yet, every country has its good side or bad side. I think America and other Western countries should try to learn the good things from China instead of suppressing the growth and development of China, especially by spreading all those untruth information about China.

Excellent report, especially it is factual and accurate.

I live in China before but now LA but i sooll want to go back to China! Its a hell here in LA too many homeless, trash and crime is scary!

Your narrative is excellent, kept me glued to the vid.

not getting shot or scared to go at night that show the safety of country

Sou brasileiro e estou adorando seu vídeo

I love her open mind ❤

Noami's comment is honest and fair. Thank you both for telling the truth. The world needs voice like you. BTW, she is so pretty.

First foreign vlogger, I totally agreed with. Enjoy your blessed given time on earth and venture out to learn new things. Life is short and should be spend on getting to know people and countries better. In the outer space when we look down on earth, we hardly see our self, just sand on earth. We will return to earth in due course. So spend your time wisely with better knowledge and enjoy to the fullness.

That's what a culture can affect a society in a positive way achievable via peace. We should make peace a priority. Cheers.

Yea the touch of poetry is great to your vid, very insightful. I subbed

The feels of your video are very professional and quite honest

I am glad as a Chinese that so many people left their true impression and experience here without bias. I am not saying that everything in China is ideal but it is a better country than most of the countries in the world. It is one of the safest country in the world if not the safest.

People might question of privacy issue in china, honestly i would choose safety all day compare to privacy.

I thought you were interviewing Anne Hathaway 😂at the first few seconds but found an even better and open mind young lady. Cheers!

Great video! The interviewee gave an authentic perspective on China and Chinese culture. I admire her intelligence and thoughtfulness. As someone who just came back from a visit to China, I would encourage others to visit the place and see it for yourself. These days, main stream media in the west is an echo chamber when it comes to China.

Thank you for your real live reporting of real China. I can’t wait to go there.

Well done!

I'd say live in the 2 or 3 tier cities in China, less crowd, less expense.

In the United States, the safety of ordinary people is not given enough attention. But in wealthy communities, it will be very safe and there will be many police patrols

Wow 👌👏! So candid.

New subscription from the USA.

I give full marks to the opening of your clip, just like the opening of a full-score documentary.

Spot on. I just returned from a week in Nanjing and Shanghai. Air pollution remains an issue in Shanghai and elsewhere, but this is also improving quickly with electric mopeds, electric cars & renewables. The streets are SO much quieter now vs 20 years ago due to all these EVs.

China is not 100% perfect but they are so good to keep their peoples lives in prosper and safe, their infrastructures, cultures and mega cities well planned, cleanness and many more..

China: zero gun related casualty USA: 110,000 yearly gun related casualty no need to spend so much effort to produce video clip to proof how safe chan is than USA.

Others good and true videos bro ❤

Thanks Sheku Mans 👏👏👏👍👍👍

Just Googled. Italy has the most UNESCO cultural sites (59) closely followed by China at 57.

nice and meaningful video

Cool style and structure for a youtube channel...something a bit different. Subscribing.

@14:16 Love the song 后海酒吧

谢谢🌷🌷🌷

Safety is good for everyone.

Damn.. I can't wait to travel and enjoy China..
