I live in China, been here for 11 years. Last September I visited my country of birth, (Australia) I attended two community meetings. At these meetings every person had a negative opinion about China. I decided to do a little test that I thought would give the people at these meetings something to think about. I asked the people for a show of hands if they thought their government and Main Stream Media lies to them, the response was, everyone raised their hand. So my question to them was, so all of you say that you know you are being lied to by your government and the media, but where China is concerned you think they are telling you the truth? At both meeting I could see and hear brain cogs working!

Hi Ken, I am Chinese. When you say you feel sorry for Chinese people that people from other countries, mainly western countries have very negative perspecitves on us, I felt the other way round. I feel sorry for westerners that they were deceived by the main media to believe in what they were told. They were deprived of the freedom to learn about the truth, about what is happening in the world.
There is a Chinese saying, "One must understand your competitor and yourself in order to stay at a winning position in the long run." In a way, the western media is hindering the people and the country to learn and to advance.

Even me, a taiwanese living abroad, when I say anything positive of China my mother and family say βyouβre paid by Chinese government!β instantly ππ All world are so brainwashed that they said that without any minimum effort of thinking but just a reflex action.

As an American living in Los Angeles surrounded by crimes, homeless everywhere , illegals, heavy traffic, road rage, shootings, and poor air quality 1/3 of the year, I will say true FREEDOM is the ability to walk the street at midnight, having an affordable public transportation that is fast during rush hours, a healthcare system that wouldnβt make you homeless once you are sick, less rude drivers, not being forced to smell urines when walking around downtown, and not selling your first born eating out! All the basics of living and feeling alive. None of the above interests our politicians.

I just got back from China and I got the same feeling you have. Clean, beautiful, people are so nice and helpful, no poverty, no homeless people, agriculture fields every where, hard working people, very quiet, drive very well and very respectful. Shanghai is mind blowing for sure. True, very few people speak English Google translate is very helpful !!!!! I will go back for sure. Love all your comments.

Hi Ken, I watched almost all of your video visiting China, now you got 1 more subscriber.
Next time when you visit China, try to avoid the long national holiday on Oct.1st, after that periods it may be the best season for most of the area in China. Hope to see your next film to Xijing again. BTW since Xinjiang is cold, you'd better visit there in the summer.
Also the good news that Chinese government noticed the voice that current payment for foreigner needs improvement, I believe the issue will be solved soon. Hope when you are in China in 2nd half of this year, your trip will be more easier

I am going to China in 10 days and I am very excited. Your videos helped me to get a first impression what to expect β¦so, Thank you! More people should travel and experience different countries. By traveling people get more open minded and loose their fears. There is good and bad about each country

it's common to hear that one should separate the people from the government. however i find it hard to apply in Chinese context. under the so-called "one party leadership", every achievement u see in china like education and infrastructure are done by the government, and the majority if not a huge amount of people are thankful to the government. chinese are very supportive to the gov and is highly respected πͺ

Go back to Xinjiang in the fall. There are lots of places to explore like the big grassland.
