My apologies to Gweilo60. I let off a barrage of unfair epithet directed towards him this morning after watching his 2-part video in which he advocated that the subject of this video was "a good guy - I'm giving him the thumbs up" which outraged me. I was wrong, of course, as I didn't realise the video was an old one from 3 years back. It's quite reassuring to note Gweilo60 has since said, with the benefit of the passage of time, that this "good guy" is actually "a piece of shit". Thanks Gweilo60, I've resubscribed to your channel.
@@Gweilo60 no you shouldn't have and I'm glad you left them up. Theres nothing wrong with making a mistake or giving someone a chance. I love serpentza, but I respect you for leaving up something you thought was a mistake
I liked Serpentza before. Then, I found him just ok. Eventually, I now find him quite intolerable. His motivations for making videos have changed dramatically the past 1-2 years. Now he is just in it to make money, and he has concluded that making videos that (directly or indirectly) bash China, and whine about people's negative reactions to him, is the way to attract views and clicks. He may very well be right. But he has lost a viewer from me. It is possible that he was corrupted by that yank pal of his.
Serpentza just an ESL teacher. In general ESL are women or men who are lower end in their home country. And his circle is not Chinese and has very limited Chinese. Feel sorry for his poor wife.
I have been watching serpentza for a while and a relatively new subscriber to your channel. I think his early videos are more relaxed and mostly helpful to travelers, and is mostly about China as he experienced. But the past few years he became more and more opinionated and recently started talking about things like animal cruelty, etc. I don't know it's the influence of his American friends or it is about pleasing American audience, but the altitude like "I don't eat pet animals and you do, so you should change" is kind of arrogant (I don't know he realized it or not), so the success of his channel (and the fact he quit his job so youtube became his only source of income) I think did change him. I wouldn't go so far as saying he is purposely trashing China, but he has been living in China for more than 10 years and experienced the rapid and significant changes in Chinese economy and social fabric, mostly for the better, but he complained more than before. It does seem he is dissatisfied, maybe because of his visa situations or maybe he did not feel like fitting in due to the Chinese version of xenophobia (he is always regarded as foreigner because he does not look like Chinese).
+David Brown, That is another example of arrogant attitude, that we accept immigrants and you don't so you should change. But clearly you hate China and Chinese in general and your xenophobia is more obvious and much more disgusting.
+David Brown, WOW, racist visa policy? Exactly which races are targeted? Does China grant long term visas for Chinese Americans? No! You really think US gets to decide the immigration policy of other countries? Whatever US does other countries must follow suit? Just how arrogant are you? Saying China is "uncivilized", that is looking down on the whole of Chinese people, and you think people would believe you don't hate Chinese? I think you are a racist and that is why you are quick at pointing fingers at others. Seeing how stupid and ignorant you are, I will ignore you from now on.
I watched his recent videos. I don't feel like he is complaining. In fact, i feel he shed good light on China and makes me want to revisit China. I think you are too touchy or maybe you misunderstood what he said.
Shihai Wei I think what really changed him was the new direction Xi Jinping has taken the country. I can like China, but not it's government, at the same time. People in the US have been doing that since before we were even a nation.
A typical Canadian, nice to everyone!!! Bad judgement about this African man!!! Tried very hard to say good about him but his expression shows contrary... full of lies in his face.
Serpentza's opinions are always subjective, but he tries hard to make people to believe he is objective. That's the annoying part, no matter when he is saying something good or bad. Maybe he just didn't realize that his view is limited by his personal status. He never touched the core stuff in China because of his poor Chinese and limited social sphere.
Genyi Luo I think he tries hard to be objective, but is subjective, because the fact and what he said is mostly true. But most explanation from him is one sided. Anything related to history is wrong.
Serpentza is just a small town kid who pretends he is not. You can tell by his limited thinking and content depth. If he is in South Africa, he might have just spent his whole life doing small jobs here and there.
When I leave a valid argument/doubt in the comments, he deleted it... it happens to me and many others... He really needs break his own bubble to integrate with the common Chinese...and improve his crap Chinese...
I agree with some of the comments I have seen regarding the very famous China TH-cam vloggers. At a certain point the monetization that forces click bait headers turns me away. I will always veer away from the career people at a certain annoyance point.
Gweilo 60, you are normally quite fluent in your videos, what happened here in this one, you were "en......ah......." a lot when you were talking about Serpentza, and you were certainly choosing the right words to say before you said them. It`s not that easy to lie through your teeth, is it. Why would you even lower yourself to his level! But I understand why you had to say the things you said. I still respect you, please keep doing what you were doing before, surround yourself with positive people like this new vlogger Jacoby (thanks for the introduction by the way). Please keep your distance from people like Winston, he will only drag you down.
I was born in China, and I lived there for 37 years, then I went to Canada (4 years now), Though my English is not good , I like serpentza ‘s video, for it always makes me recalled my life in China. I like the free style in his video at the same time I can understand that he can’t express his ideas totally. In his comment zone, there are always a lot of people blame him. What I want to say is “ Don’t be scared, keep on going, leave them alone.
I came to your channel because of Serpentza. He generously recommended you and agreed to the back-and-forth. Your lukewarm endorsement is disappointing. If you had seen a representative sample of his videos; your question would have answered itself.
Gweilo 60 Hahaha don’t you think Winston looks and acts like Borat? But this time not from Kazakhstan to America but SA to China😂😂😂 he even dresses like Borat!!! Have you watched the movie! So funny 😂 Sacha Baron Cohen wears the same suit everywhere in America but this time he is in China!😂😂😂
chesterchugallery who are you going to ridicule next? Sexy cyborg, for her outfits? You don't have much of a bussiness acumen, if you don't know why they dress as they do.
Amazing video @Gweilo60 ! Canadians are highly skilled in bridging the gap between various groups of people with differing class and personal views. You’re a stellar example of someone who knows how to navigate the murky waters of communication with people and I really admire that. Thank you for bringing to light the good nature of serpentza by delving deeper. It is the same with China 🇨🇳.. Sometimes on the outside media will subconsciously cause us to stereotype all but when you get to know them on a deeper level, there are some really really nice and friendly Chinese folks who are born in China. Of course, there are always that few out of hundred who shame their race but it’s pretty much the same everywhere in the world. Take care Gweilo60 and stay awesome everyone
Hey Guilao 60, what I found favorite about your videos may not be the content you said, but your personality. Every time you end your video, you always smile nicely. You also smile to yourself when you say something you think is interesting. This is the most fun part in your videos.
Appreciated for your bluntness without a filter and for being free, objective and uncontrolled to express your personal view of everything around you. What you deliver is the positive energy that a normal person needs. Come on, buddy.
I personally think that the gradual passive hate, the don'tcare attitude, pretentiousness and love-china-as-a-business of people like serpentza/laowhy86/prozzie are because they eventually figure out that they could never be part of china and that the so called interest and respect from the locals is not because they are good for something but just that Chinese are always kind to foreigners. The sense of being surrounded are long gone and what is replaced is that dull noise of living daily life. That is why they constantly wanting to patronize the Chinese, even though most of their audience are non-Chinese. they want a sense of relevance but most Chinese just don't like to be patronized and worst yet, don't think they have in-depth thinking, experience, knowledge and wisdom to patronize others. that is why they made so many "investigative/exploring" videos to try to hide the facts that they are normal guys with very little really content in them. And they know it too. The reality is that most people know that they are just small town kids pretending what they are not. On the other hand, Gweilo 60 is just a retired man trying to enjoy life in a different park/garden called China. He is not here to preach. He is not here to break into Chinese-ness. He does not come here with the attitude that I am from a developed country so I am entitled to be the smart and opinionated one and should get all the attention. And I don't get it I will make a lot of noise to get it. He is just here to enjoy life. Different people so different responses.
JK, your observation of all these White Vlog Characters, so true. Before Gweilo 60 met his Chinese wife he too had the typical mentality of China and Chinese people as molded by their MSM over the years. However, especially after his retirement and moved to stay in Nanning China, he has the time to learn how China and Chinese people tick and admitted many times that his previous views on some matters were wrong
I have no problem with them being shallow. I mean most people on this planet are normal people. Yet they just pretend that they are experts and expect everyone take their subjective views by dumping video after video online.
When I migrate to a country, I figure out how to settle down and raise an family. When they move to a country, first they act like tourists, and then pretending they are just having short stay with "teaching jobs" and eventually try to preach others with their superior thinking and in-depth knowledge and wisdom. AND THEY ARE JUST NORMAL GUYS FROM SMALL TOWNS. Hello! If these people are a professor with extensive knowledge in subject matter, I think they have something real to say. But if they are stuffing content with "common perception" and "basic Wikipedia level content regurgitation", at least admit it. But no, they have to talk like they are the subject matter experts with "piercing" and "enlightened" opinions and thoughts. Oh My!
I used to be subscribed to laowhy86 and serpentza a number of years ago before realizing that all they do is focus on negative aspects of China and look down on it and it's people. Their channels are geared towards those who dislike China. I dislike serpentza, but I despise laowhy86 so much more.
I've been discovering all of these China Vloggers recently in preparation to my return in a few months, and this is my first Gweilo vid...After about 3 minutes the accent was so familiar to my Canadian ears...Central Ontario, right? :)
Hey I remember that lake you were walking around. I was in Nanning in 2013-14 teaching over at Eden English. There was not many foreigners living in that town then. Has the numbers increased since then?
It was really surprising to see such a newer and smaller channel, such as this one, collaborating with an older and more popular channel, like serpentza. Great videos!
I admit I found you because of Serpentza in the tittle of your previous video and I am glad that I did. I've been binge watching your vids for the past few days so I subbed. You do a really good job Gweilo your perspective is refreshing and I found myself learning alot of things. I've probably seen all of your videos by now so unfortunately running out. Keep up the good job and I look forward to Future videos. Nice to meet you and now I have to go look up what Gweilo means.
From Nanning and now working in U.S. feel happy to see the street view of my hometown in your video. Still I wonder how is the subway construction now. Hope I’ll see it in your video someday:D
Why make a judgemental video about someone? Good or bad? Making a judgment in front of a crowd as to whether a man is good or bad is just pretentious... kudos to you for contacting him and speaking to him directly. but why make a video about it?
Hi Gweilo60 , I watch both you and Winston , and AVDChina , I get a good coverage of China that way , two different people make great Vlogs so keep the stories coming :-)
Gweilo60 I’m very curious why you are not interested in learning any Chinese at all considering you have been living there for 14 years, I guess 14 years you can call China home, learning the language will certainly help you fit in the country better, what is holding you back?
It surprises me how such a great fun filled video can turn into something so serious by “keyboard worriers” if one finds that someone knowledge is lacking help one us to learn, please don’t hinder or verbally bash someone. Openness to other in what ever form that is no matter if they express a point of view through making videos or not.
East Asian hosts are so gracious and peace loving that westerners embark on a huge ego trip, when they stay in those countries for a while. With all that attention, and a new-found feeling of superiority, they suddenly become someone, whereas back home they blend humdrum into a sea of the masses, and are rarely noticed. So it’s really important to get a grip...and to take the opportunity to embrace some of the humility and generosity that one encounters in those cultures everyday.
Bro, u seem Star struck.... n by a youtuber😂. No matter what Winston said, they were just the perfect answer n each answer somehow qualified him as a good guy???!!! What was he suppose to do? Act like an ass knowing you were making a video of him? Seemed like your agenda was to go out n make a positive video of him. If I didn’t know better, I’d think you were hired by his handlers to start a image building campaign for him! I think the only conclusion you can make from your interview is that,” it went well and uneventfully.” You’re still aiight though, but these 2 videos proved nothing. I tend to agree that he probably is not a bad guy, though. When I say bad, I just mean an evil guy. but a decent guy can still have serious character flaws. His flaws are that he tends to disrespect, quick to turn real but casual observations into incorrect n much bigger conclusions, feels he’s much more significant and knowledgeable that he actually is, and is very much a bit “glass hearted”( in his words). Any you tuber getting $ for what is essentially an unskilled job should thank God and just be happy for any attention and $ he gets! He should expect backlash whenever he puts himself out there with proclamations that are often inaccurate, and especially when he tends to extrapolate these incorrect assumptions into some much bigger national or racial attributes! A perfect example was him talking about the recycle trash bin mixed with other trash. That was a correct observation and woulda been an awesome video to bring social issues to the limelight, but he just had to mess it up by taking a strange turn and authoritatively conclude that it was an exclusively Chinese issue bc Chinese liked to show face. That dude’s world experience is too limited and what little exposures he’s had were obviously blinded by his preprogrammed perspectives. Just walk around any park in the US n take a look to see what’s in the recycle trash bins before making such a authoritative and misleading assumption, Winston. And that was just one of many many videos he made which started with solid observations but finished with bizarre conclusions. Maybe you’re right that it’s not his fault. Maybe he is the product of where he grew up. But to have to say that just means you’re looking for excuses, reasons to explain something that needs excusing, explaining....
Winston likes to put down people or things in general. I saw an episode where he says Chinese motorcycles suck, then he builds motorcycles that looks pretty much the same. Go figure.
The motorcycles here are pretty bad mostly because of the materials.. check the video where he explains what he did and why... why he choose a chinese bike it’s simple: it can be fixed everywhere... try to get spare parts for a bmw or a Ducati here...
Is he is good guy? Please define the word. Good for what and who? Is he informative? Very much so and he has certainly been a great help in developing my understanding of the country. He is an observer and tries to interpret what he sees. There are only reflections and the very process he engages in is worth the time listening to. Maybe you should ask: Would I drink a beer with this guy?
Hello Gweilo 60, you've asked Serpentza what video camera he uses for his TH-cam vlog? So, my question to you would be what type of video camera do you use for your TH-cam videos? Just curious!!...as always, I enjoy watching your TH-cam videos!
Hi, you are right because you are a nice and kind person and he is an absolutely smart intelligent liar!! I was fooled by him, and I believe he has a big team with him. In most of his videos, I used to click “Like”, but only one video in which he describing Chinese schools are spy, I made my genuine common, but he blocked me and lied to me that he didn’t. My comment is listed below: --- Hi Dear Serpentza, why did you block my honest comment?? --- if you don't like my opinion, I apologize: “ I love your video, but, for this episode, I have to raise my disagreement. I studied Chinese in Confucius Institute, the staffs are nice, and they never sale any views other than the scope of language and culture learning to me, to public, to media, and to anyone else I know. They are different from the political organizations as you mentioned. You misled public with comparing an education institute and political organizations on purpose. I am reasonably convinced that you are provoking dissension between Western world and China. I hope the communication and understanding with Chinese should be deepened, that’s the only way to put the hostility down. That’s why I have been learning Chinese hard. ” He replied: “ I didn’t block your comment but this (Chinese) soft power nonsense has to stop, I’m not misleading anyone and neither are you ” I replied to him: “ However, indeed, it is blocked ! if you didn’t, it could be your team member! I like to have a reason as you claim all the time you like to have different opinion, I do not know how much you respect the freedom of voice. You may not agree with my view, but you should let people read and judge it. I have being your subscriber for long time, but I feel been cheated and hurt. The screenshot will be shared in my ins & fb if this mistake could not be solved. ”
He's not a bad guy. In general, foreigners experience China differently than a native Chinese, kind of like how a white person would see America different than a Chinese. Since he doesn't have that connection with the country like many native-born Chinese would. It is likely that because China is so "plugged-in" as a nation but not so much on the world stage (the citizens aren't), he would feel some level of frustration about some aspects of life and be ignorant about others (case and point, he wouldn't feel as danger from gangsters that are connected with pick-pockets, but his coworkers might.) Besides, he has a Chinese wife! That should say something!
Great video ,I,m new to your channel .Im also Canadian older like yourself with a fantastic Chinese wife,Na, from Guangzhou .When were back in China the one thing I love the most,other than the food,is BEER.Being Canadian we like our beer,going to an all you can eat hotpot that includes the beer fridge is the Canadian dream lol.
Yes life is all about the beer. It's hard to explain this to our wives but we try. Actually I had my wife believing that drinking beer was a Canadian tradition. That worked until she met my friends wives. Damn those friends wives. Smile
lol My wife never drank beer till she moved to Canada with me ,now she will always drink my beer but not her own .The one thing that you might want to talk about is when Chinese move to Canada.My wife was a software engineer in china with a BA.She is now finishing school at St Lawrence in business accounting because all she could find for work was in Chinese restaurant .Even with a 3.99gpa she is not getting any jobs and we may have to move to China for her to get good paying job .
Good idea Kevin as I've seen this before when doing immigration. The Chinese credentials aren't recognized in the western world so they either re-educate or take a labour intensive job. Engineers to draft person, accountant to bookkeeper etc.
Winston makes videos on the topic of China with a mix of objective facts and his personal subjective opinions. Naturally, when discussing a country of any size, broad generalizations are necessary. He would of course understand that everyone is different and that there are exceptions to every observation. It takes courage to express his own opinions online to 300k+ people and I respect him for that. There is a difference between disliking something and spreading hate. He never encourages any sort of hatred, whereas the majority of the comments here spreads a distasteful personal characterizations of a person they never met. I do not always agree with his opinions, but what he did was spark my interest for a country I knew little about. I've now lived in China for 2 years and enjoying my life to the fullest, much thanks to his videos!
There are a lot of nice guys that have stupid points of view. Those two are not mutually exclusive. So setting aside of what kind of person he really is, what that serpentza dude does is, however, simply catering his audience. As Chinese really don't contribute too much towards his click or income for what matters, he learned a trick or two from his besty ADVchina and makes his livelihood by bad mouthing China. We get it. It's not personal. At the same time though, one cannot blame people for feeling outrageous from those hostile words. But my question really, is why the hell you, Gweilo, want any piece of this?
Because his videos are based on his own bias. His opinions are radical. He thinks he is superior than Chinese. From his deep heart, he dislikes China and Chinese at all. All he wants is money, so he exerts every effort to make videos to cater to his patrons regardless of reality.
Frankly i am 99% agree w/ gweilo 60 assessment to serpentza. TBH, i think mr.winston is really love china (in his own way of course),.. yes i do feel he is occasionally being dishonest, exaggerate bad things about china, soft click bait? :p ect, ect... (must be connected w/ his youtuber life, money & audiences base. of course). but, by the way he is "exposing" the bad things lead me to feel that deep down in his heart he just want the ppl in china (mainland) to be a better human tomorrow. because there is NO "perfect coulture", why can't we, the chinese ppl just take the positive lesson out of it.
Thanks always enjoy your topics and your opinions. Have been subscribed to serpent za for over a year now and stumbled on your Channel I always enjoy the scenery in NANING CHINA,also when serpentza does video footage of countryside, & drone shots. They are so cool and beautiful to see from the vantage point of the sky keep up the great work look forward to your next one someday I will be there soon at least that is the plan LOL
Different generation self-media reporting on different subject, having different view and idea. In countries allow different views, we are used to this, thinking it is fun to hear different voices. But in China, any negative opinion may often be considered as "dis-respect or dislike". I believe Winston didn't mean to hurt Chinese people's feeling, he is just young, dare to talk about his personal experiences.
After 4 ads on your last videos and none on this one...what's the point? why antagonize me first and then treat me well? just split the difference? As a first time viewer, I think you're great, I'll be sure to watch more.
Hey Peter, haha yeah we started talking after one of his last videos and he offered to put a clip introducing my channel! A really nice guy. I guess Nanning now has two people sharing videos on TH-cam Haha
That's so cool, I think the city benefits more from you guys than vice versa. Where are you from in the United States, is it close to where he's from in Canada?
Yeah I hope so, I think Gweilo 60 (Kirk) and I both just try to show what it's like living here from our perspectives. Really appreciate the feedback. I'm from Oregon on the West coast, and I believe he is from one of the provinces in the center of Canada? I'm not positive.. Kirk you see this? haha
Winston is downright hostile towards China. I used to like his videos, but all of his recent uploads are full of prejudice and complaints and only shows the negative aspect of China. I don't get it, if you hate it so much Winston, why don't you just leave the country? China is not beginning you to stay here. Also, lose that black suite and tie. I've unsubscribed to his channel.
Because he loves China. Why are the Chinese so sensitive to an outsider criticizing laws or customs? Most nations can handle it without making the "love it or leave it" meme argument.
I notice that too when I watched some of their Videos in China, especially Spentza. Intentional negative aspects of China by searching for all the "Dirty Dustbins" there to increase his Western Viewers, that means income from TH-cam. A well dressed young man, smooth talker, no proper work, typical arrogant white supremacist, depending on his Chinese wife's salary. In China such a despicable person is called, "eat soft rice". The actual test will come whether he will bring his Chinese wife back to the West for good or just dump her?
AwesomeTea oh please criticizing China on a foreign platform with 90% forienger audience is helping China ?Oh that is for the sake of China and that is for better of China ? fk off please...u got shxt loads of problems in ur own countries, and if u got time criticizing China, why don't you spend it fixing ur own countries problems.. The only fking reason a white guy criticizing China is to find moral superior and reinforcement to his preinstalled beliefs that China is shyt. Cause all of sudden China got so much stronger and richer and advanced, but my mom and dad and everyone told China is shyt and Communism is supposed to be poor ass fks, and they are supposed to be 3rd country forever, why are they where they are now, I can't believe it ?.So save the BS to yourself...and go fix racism, fake democracy, police brutality, inner cities, huge debts, welfare abuse, crumbling infrastructure, constant at war government, huge military spending and 0 civil spending, libtards, snowflake, mass shootings, school shootings, refugees, deportations, and those common shitty problems of ur collective West.. I can go on with the list, but i am tired.... fking hypocrite.. By the way, u wanna criticize China for a better China, go fking learn Chinese and make ur voice heard on Chinese social platform, and make positive changes.... i doubt u give a shyt abt it and fk off....
Professor, I get your messages! A resume of what i've heard from these 2 episodes. 1) Serpentza does videos for a living, you do videos for fun (by the way it was funny the description of having a old classic car in the garage for fun, and so true!!). 2)Videos of serpentza are pretty much scripted, and your videos are not scripted with words to words, because you've said in the video, you say whatever comes out from your head. Now is what I think, serpenzta only talks about controversial topics, because that's what viewers wants to hear, and that creates these online fights, the more comments he gets the more attention he attracts, and of course, more💲💲 he gets. That's the fundamental reason of why he only makes those kind of videos. And you, professor, you don't make videos for a living, you don't need controversial topics to drag attractions, instead I can see how you are enjoying your surroundings and expressing what you are feeling at the moment. It's comfortable to watch your videos, because it's not only negative credits like serpenztas'. (By the way, I would not mind if sometimes you talk about what China or Chinese people should improve, you will have my support, I am sure you can be objective, you are a smart guy who knows how to speak smoothly), no wonder why your way of talking sounds so comfortable, so you were an agent for clients for many years!!! 😊
I think he is just kinda outdated. A lot of videos he made aren't reflecting the daily life of average Chinese. He is too old to explain what's going on in China, such as fashion trend, way of living, sport industry, entertainment industry and so on, but he isn't that old enough to offer any wisdom here. He is going down now because he kinda traps in his own mindset, unlike some other newest youtubers in China.
in Chinese 不是我的菜 - not my type, I watched a few his videos, then starting to feel uncomfortable to watch, I am Chinese BTW, no idea why, just the feeling, Most of the blogger like Gweilo I just watch to kill time without feeling-change moment
Gee whizz in reading some of the comments here there seem to be many overly sensitive Chinese nationals here that don't appreciate good blogs from non chinese people. Jealous much?
Not that simple. Swear to god, I personally SINCERELY think serpentza's videos are biased and not objective enough, he thinks he understands China, but unfortunately not so much. Please don't use the cheep nationalism excuse if you don't understand why so many Chinese viewers don't like him. Don't doubt our sincerity. We are equal. At least, yourself (serpentza and many other serpentzas as well) could be biased as we could be.
Serpenza, a TH-camr makes money by bashing China in every possible way. He is pretty good at feeding his audience with provoking anti-China content and tittles, mixed with truth and lies. That’s why he is hated by the Chinese and I think he even enjoys that as it makes him popular.
I agree SerpentZA meant well and overall a good guy. However, I find him very judgemental and sometimes could not handle criticism well. Just as he hated the critical comments, so do some people who heard his comments. He basically put himself in the same level as the people he criticized.

What Winston said about her wife seems to me extremely disrespectful: "Having a wonderful wife like her is a fantastic bonus for living in China". What kind of nice people would say that about their better halves?
有些人居然說他公正，因為說的那些東西的確存在，世界上任何國家都有賊，也有警察，有貓也有老鼠，有老人也有小朋友，有壞人也有好人，有男人也有女人…等等，當有一個人去到一個地方，整天說這𥚃只有賊，有老鼠，只有老人丶壞人丶男人，目的是為迎合一些對這地方有惡意的觀眾，從而獲利，則這人的人格非常有問題，亦不值得別人尊重

Never trust a serpent
He's a hypocrite
I liked Serpentza before. Then, I found him just ok. Eventually, I now find him quite intolerable. His motivations for making videos have changed dramatically the past 1-2 years. Now he is just in it to make money, and he has concluded that making videos that (directly or indirectly) bash China, and whine about people's negative reactions to him, is the way to attract views and clicks. He may very well be right. But he has lost a viewer from me. It is possible that he was corrupted by that yank pal of his.
Never been to Serpentza channel. Facial expression alone gives plenty of clue about this individual.
and some think he sould be a HERO of CHINA... 10 years in china and still cant pronounce QINGDAO correctly.. meh!!
Winston is not that real, which can be told by his all the time suit.
He has all the lies over his expression.
@@rongwang8888 he has no class, a running dog from South Africa. A real racist.

@@joshmilo8523 he did, u just being brainwashed by him
"Behind your back?" He speaks his mind on the biggest platform in the world. Not a fan in any way. Just saying.
@@gotbeef7581 yah in the past true, but lately no, he suddenly change to anti-Chinese setiment.
Amir Wijaya maybe getting paid for that.
I have been watching serpentza for a while and a relatively new subscriber to your channel. I think his early videos are more relaxed and mostly helpful to travelers, and is mostly about China as he experienced. But the past few years he became more and more opinionated and recently started talking about things like animal cruelty, etc. I don't know it's the influence of his American friends or it is about pleasing American audience, but the altitude like "I don't eat pet animals and you do, so you should change" is kind of arrogant (I don't know he realized it or not), so the success of his channel (and the fact he quit his job so youtube became his only source of income) I think did change him.
I wouldn't go so far as saying he is purposely trashing China, but he has been living in China for more than 10 years and experienced the rapid and significant changes in Chinese economy and social fabric, mostly for the better, but he complained more than before. It does seem he is dissatisfied, maybe because of his visa situations or maybe he did not feel like fitting in due to the Chinese version of xenophobia (he is always regarded as foreigner because he does not look like Chinese).
+David Brown, That is another example of arrogant attitude, that we accept immigrants and you don't so you should change. But clearly you hate China and Chinese in general and your xenophobia is more obvious and much more disgusting.
+David Brown, WOW, racist visa policy? Exactly which races are targeted? Does China grant long term visas for Chinese Americans? No! You really think US gets to decide the immigration policy of other countries? Whatever US does other countries must follow suit? Just how arrogant are you?
Saying China is "uncivilized", that is looking down on the whole of Chinese people, and you think people would believe you don't hate Chinese? I think you are a racist and that is why you are quick at pointing fingers at others. Seeing how stupid and ignorant you are, I will ignore you from now on.
I watched his recent videos. I don't feel like he is complaining. In fact, i feel he shed good light on China and makes me want to revisit China. I think you are too touchy or maybe you misunderstood what he said.
Shihai Wei I think what really changed him was the new direction Xi Jinping has taken the country. I can like China, but not it's government, at the same time. People in the US have been doing that since before we were even a nation.
serpentza is a sell out. He use China and Chinese to become famous. Once he is famous, he'll turn his back on Chinese and China.
I watched his channel one time and that was once too often.
Gweilo 60 you are a good man...
A typical Canadian, nice to everyone!!! Bad judgement about this African man!!! Tried very hard to say good about him but his expression shows contrary... full of lies in his face.
Serpentza's opinions are always subjective, but he tries hard to make people to believe he is objective. That's the annoying part, no matter when he is saying something good or bad. Maybe he just didn't realize that his view is limited by his personal status. He never touched the core stuff in China because of his poor Chinese and limited social sphere.
no, his chinese sucks
do a comparison, his chinese level is the same as a 6 grader chinese english level.
That he can speak any Chinese at all is a credit to him, given that Chinese is one of the hardest languages in the world to learn!
Genyi Luo I think he tries hard to be objective, but is subjective, because the fact and what he said is mostly true. But most explanation from him is one sided.
Anything related to history is wrong.
Serpentza is just a small town kid who pretends he is not. You can tell by his limited thinking and content depth. If he is in South Africa, he might have just spent his whole life doing small jobs here and there.
When I leave a valid argument/doubt in the comments, he deleted it... it happens to me and many others...
He really needs break his own bubble to integrate with the common Chinese...and improve his crap Chinese...
If I love this land, I will contribute my life to help and improve this land.🙂
I agree with some of the comments I have seen regarding the very famous China TH-cam vloggers. At a certain point the monetization that forces click bait headers turns me away. I will always veer away from the career people at a certain annoyance point.
Gweilo 60, you are normally quite fluent in your videos, what happened here in this one, you were "en......ah......." a lot when you were talking about Serpentza, and you were certainly choosing the right words to say before you said them. It`s not that easy to lie through your teeth, is it. Why would you even lower yourself to his level! But I understand why you had to say the things you said. I still respect you, please keep doing what you were doing before, surround yourself with positive people like this new vlogger Jacoby (thanks for the introduction by the way). Please keep your distance from people like Winston, he will only drag you down.
Hey thanks so much Sina S!
I like your videos. I`ve subscribed to your channel.
Good choice Jacoby is a natural at this and interesting to boot.
Thanks so much Kirk! Just trying to keep up with you 👍
Thanks a lot! I really appreciate it
I was born in China, and I lived there for 37 years, then I went to Canada (4 years now), Though my English is not good , I like serpentza ‘s video, for it always makes me recalled my life in China. I like the free style in his video at the same time I can understand that he can’t express his ideas totally. In his comment zone, there are always a lot of people blame him. What I want to say is “ Don’t be scared, keep on going, leave them alone.
I came to your channel because of Serpentza. He generously recommended you and agreed to the back-and-forth. Your lukewarm endorsement is disappointing. If you had seen a representative sample of his videos; your question would have answered itself.
He is Borat in China. In China only people going to funeral would dress like that.
Borat? To funny good sense of humour
Gweilo 60
Hahaha don’t you think Winston looks and acts like Borat? But this time not from Kazakhstan to America but SA to China😂😂😂 he even dresses like Borat!!! Have you watched the movie! So funny 😂 Sacha Baron Cohen wears the same suit everywhere in America but this time he is in China!😂😂😂
chesterchugallery who are you going to ridicule next? Sexy cyborg, for her outfits? You don't have much of a bussiness acumen, if you don't know why they dress as they do.
Bob The Buider
Show me yours first and I will tell you😂
我最喜欢serpentza当时下班，骑着小摩托车到处逛的时候。但现在他的视频都是标题党加上回收的视频，每次他出家门都是同时拍4 ，5个视频一起的。完全是为了做出更多的视频，然后多赚钱，虽然没什么问题，但是变味了
Going around digging up dirty laundry of others and make money out if it, is shameless and low, that's all I have to say.
Amazing video @Gweilo60 ! Canadians are highly skilled in bridging the gap between various groups of people with differing class and personal views. You’re a stellar example of someone who knows how to navigate the murky waters of communication with people and I really admire that. Thank you for bringing to light the good nature of serpentza by delving deeper. It is the same with China 🇨🇳.. Sometimes on the outside media will subconsciously cause us to stereotype all but when you get to know them on a deeper level, there are some really really nice and friendly Chinese folks who are born in China. Of course, there are always that few out of hundred who shame their race but it’s pretty much the same everywhere in the world. Take care Gweilo60 and stay awesome everyone
Hey guys this was a great video i enjoy both of you and the content you share great stuff.
Hey Guilao 60, what I found favorite about your videos may not be the content you said, but your personality. Every time you end your video, you always smile nicely. You also smile to yourself when you say something you think is interesting. This is the most fun part in your videos.
Appreciated for your bluntness without a filter and for being free, objective and uncontrolled to express your personal view of everything around you. What you deliver is the positive energy that a normal person needs. Come on, buddy.
seems to be hardworking, creative, clever, self-aware, well-traveled, no doubt he has faults, as do we all.
Winston's sentiments for others are summed up in his typical sign-off. "Stay Awesome!"
I personally think that the gradual passive hate, the don'tcare attitude, pretentiousness and love-china-as-a-business of people like serpentza/laowhy86/prozzie are because they eventually figure out that they could never be part of china and that the so called interest and respect from the locals is not because they are good for something but just that Chinese are always kind to foreigners. The sense of being surrounded are long gone and what is replaced is that dull noise of living daily life. That is why they constantly wanting to patronize the Chinese, even though most of their audience are non-Chinese. they want a sense of relevance but most Chinese just don't like to be patronized and worst yet, don't think they have in-depth thinking, experience, knowledge and wisdom to patronize others. that is why they made so many "investigative/exploring" videos to try to hide the facts that they are normal guys with very little really content in them. And they know it too. The reality is that most people know that they are just small town kids pretending what they are not.
On the other hand, Gweilo 60 is just a retired man trying to enjoy life in a different park/garden called China. He is not here to preach. He is not here to break into Chinese-ness. He does not come here with the attitude that I am from a developed country so I am entitled to be the smart and opinionated one and should get all the attention. And I don't get it I will make a lot of noise to get it. He is just here to enjoy life.
Different people so different responses.
JK, your observation of all these White Vlog Characters, so true. Before Gweilo 60 met his Chinese wife he too had the typical mentality of China and Chinese people as molded by their MSM over the years. However, especially after his retirement and moved to stay in Nanning China, he has the time to learn how China and Chinese people tick and admitted many times that his previous views on some matters were wrong
I have no problem with them being shallow. I mean most people on this planet are normal people. Yet they just pretend that they are experts and expect everyone take their subjective views by dumping video after video online.
When I migrate to a country, I figure out how to settle down and raise an family. When they move to a country, first they act like tourists, and then pretending they are just having short stay with "teaching jobs" and eventually try to preach others with their superior thinking and in-depth knowledge and wisdom. AND THEY ARE JUST NORMAL GUYS FROM SMALL TOWNS. Hello! If these people are a professor with extensive knowledge in subject matter, I think they have something real to say. But if they are stuffing content with "common perception" and "basic Wikipedia level content regurgitation", at least admit it. But no, they have to talk like they are the subject matter experts with "piercing" and "enlightened" opinions and thoughts. Oh My!
One of the best comments here!
You said it all, man~~~hat off to you ~~~~
I used to be subscribed to laowhy86 and serpentza a number of years ago before realizing that all they do is focus on negative aspects of China and look down on it and it's people. Their channels are geared towards those who dislike China. I dislike serpentza, but I despise laowhy86 so much more.
I've been discovering all of these China Vloggers recently in preparation to my return in a few months, and this is my first Gweilo vid...After about 3 minutes the accent was so familiar to my Canadian ears...Central Ontario, right? :)
Hey I remember that lake you were walking around. I was in Nanning in 2013-14 teaching over at Eden English. There was not many foreigners living in that town then. Has the numbers increased since then?
No maybe even less the last couple years due to the high housing prices. It used to be inexpensive to live in Nanning but not so much anymore.
It was really surprising to see such a newer and smaller channel, such as this one, collaborating with an older and more popular channel, like serpentza. Great videos!
Gweilo60 is a good guy.I like him 😀
there are more than just two youtubers in Nanning :D
Great idea of the new playlist , I think i'll stick to it.
I admit I found you because of Serpentza in the tittle of your previous video and I am glad that I did. I've been binge watching your vids for the past few days so I subbed. You do a really good job Gweilo your perspective is refreshing and I found myself learning alot of things. I've probably seen all of your videos by now so unfortunately running out. Keep up the good job and I look forward to Future videos. Nice to meet you and now I have to go look up what Gweilo means.
i was browsing and was interested in what you had to say about @serpentza; and i found your videos interesting; a new fan...
From Nanning and now working in U.S. feel happy to see the street view of my hometown in your video. Still I wonder how is the subway construction now. Hope I’ll see it in your video someday:D
David Brown leaving for studying. I’ll be back after finishing my PhD program.
Why make a judgemental video about someone? Good or bad? Making a judgment in front of a crowd as to whether a man is good or bad is just pretentious... kudos to you for contacting him and speaking to him directly. but why make a video about it?
What Tsingtao you drink, if you know what i mean?
Hi Gweilo60 , I watch both you and Winston , and AVDChina , I get a good coverage of China that way , two different people make great Vlogs so keep the stories coming :-)
not really
Awesome video .
Gweilo60 I’m very curious why you are not interested in learning any Chinese at all considering you have been living there for 14 years, I guess 14 years you can call China home, learning the language will certainly help you fit in the country better, what is holding you back?
Great video, I’m visiting Beijing in August and have been advised to get a rabies shot, does anyone know if this is necessary ?
You don't need a rabies shot.
Gweilo 60 Thankyou Gwello.
I love Qingdao Beer, especially the one from the bag :o)
It surprises me how such a great fun filled video can turn into something so serious by “keyboard worriers” if one finds that someone knowledge is lacking help one us to learn, please don’t hinder or verbally bash someone. Openness to other in what ever form that is no matter if they express a point of view through making videos or not.
I don't really get the difference between all and 1/3 in the first question and why is it racist? Anyone care to explain?
Gweilo 60 ... another good video my Canadian friend ! . You are an honest guy . Muy bueno ! . Wishing the best for you !
East Asian hosts are so gracious and peace loving that westerners embark on a huge ego trip, when they stay in those countries for a while. With all that attention, and a new-found feeling of superiority, they suddenly become someone, whereas back home they blend humdrum into a sea of the masses, and are rarely noticed. So it’s really important to get a grip...and to take the opportunity to embrace some of the humility and generosity that one encounters in those cultures everyday.
Thanks for another great video =D
Stop talking about Winston...how about an interview with Wode Maya. That guy is pretty good.
hahaha he is funny and cute
Bro, u seem Star struck.... n by a youtuber😂. No matter what Winston said, they were just the perfect answer n each answer somehow qualified him as a good guy???!!! What was he suppose to do? Act like an ass knowing you were making a video of him? Seemed like your agenda was to go out n make a positive video of him. If I didn’t know better, I’d think you were hired by his handlers to start a image building campaign for him! I think the only conclusion you can make from your interview is that,” it went well and uneventfully.”
You’re still aiight though, but these 2 videos proved nothing. I tend to agree that he probably is not a bad guy, though. When I say bad, I just mean an evil guy. but a decent guy can still have serious character flaws. His flaws are that he tends to disrespect, quick to turn real but casual observations into incorrect n much bigger conclusions, feels he’s much more significant and knowledgeable that he actually is, and is very much a bit “glass hearted”( in his words). Any you tuber getting $ for what is essentially an unskilled job should thank God and just be happy for any attention and $ he gets! He should expect backlash whenever he puts himself out there with proclamations that are often inaccurate, and especially when he tends to extrapolate these incorrect assumptions into some much bigger national or racial attributes!
A perfect example was him talking about the recycle trash bin mixed with other trash. That was a correct observation and woulda been an awesome video to bring social issues to the limelight, but he just had to mess it up by taking a strange turn and authoritatively conclude that it was an exclusively Chinese issue bc Chinese liked to show face. That dude’s world experience is too limited and what little exposures he’s had were obviously blinded by his preprogrammed perspectives. Just walk around any park in the US n take a look to see what’s in the recycle trash bins before making such a authoritative and misleading assumption, Winston. And that was just one of many many videos he made which started with solid observations but finished with bizarre conclusions.
Maybe you’re right that it’s not his fault. Maybe he is the product of where he grew up. But to have to say that just means you’re looking for excuses, reasons to explain something that needs excusing, explaining....
Very well said. Thank you.
Winston likes to put down people or things in general. I saw an episode where he says Chinese motorcycles suck, then he builds motorcycles that looks pretty much the same. Go figure.
Dan Blumel sounds likes you have been on it
Dan Blumel are you Winston?
Well congrats Dan, you're at the golden age!
神州 Shenzhou you're like a parrot repeating same old tired lines. More info please to support your position.
The motorcycles here are pretty bad mostly because of the materials.. check the video where he explains what he did and why... why he choose a chinese bike it’s simple: it can be fixed everywhere... try to get spare parts for a bmw or a Ducati here...
Is he is good guy? Please define the word. Good for what and who? Is he informative? Very much so and he has certainly been a great help in developing my understanding of the country. He is an observer and tries to interpret what he sees. There are only reflections and the very process he engages in is worth the time listening to. Maybe you should ask: Would I drink a beer with this guy?
Hello Gweilo 60, you've asked Serpentza what video camera he uses for his TH-cam vlog? So, my question to you would be what type of video camera do you use for your TH-cam videos? Just curious!!...as always, I enjoy watching your TH-cam videos!
GoPro hero 5 with a Rose link mic.
Thank you for your quick response.
Aiya Maya, Wode Maya!
Is serpent good?
No need to throw in any hate messages or comments to anyone with a different view, we should just don’t care!
Hi, you are right because you are a nice and kind person and he is an absolutely smart intelligent liar!! I was fooled by him, and I believe he has a big team with him. In most of his videos, I used to click “Like”, but only one video in which he describing Chinese schools are spy, I made my genuine common, but he blocked me and lied to me that he didn’t. My comment is listed below:
--- Hi Dear Serpentza, why did you block my honest comment?? --- if you don't like my opinion, I apologize:
“ I love your video, but, for this episode, I have to raise my disagreement. I studied Chinese in Confucius Institute, the staffs are nice, and they never sale any views other than the scope of language and culture learning to me, to public, to media, and to anyone else I know. They are different from the political organizations as you mentioned. You misled public with comparing an education institute and political organizations on purpose. I am reasonably convinced that you are provoking dissension between Western world and China. I hope the communication and understanding with Chinese should be deepened, that’s the only way to put the hostility down. That’s why I have been learning Chinese hard. ”
He replied: “ I didn’t block your comment but this (Chinese) soft power nonsense has to stop, I’m not misleading anyone and neither are you ”
I replied to him: “ However, indeed, it is blocked ! if you didn’t, it could be your team member! I like to have a reason as you claim all the time you like to have different opinion, I do not know how much you respect the freedom of voice. You may not agree with my view, but you should let people read and judge it. I have being your subscriber for long time, but I feel been cheated and hurt. The screenshot will be shared in my ins & fb if this mistake could not be solved. ”
He's not a bad guy. In general, foreigners experience China differently than a native Chinese, kind of like how a white person would see America different than a Chinese. Since he doesn't have that connection with the country like many native-born Chinese would. It is likely that because China is so "plugged-in" as a nation but not so much on the world stage (the citizens aren't), he would feel some level of frustration about some aspects of life and be ignorant about others (case and point, he wouldn't feel as danger from gangsters that are connected with pick-pockets, but his coworkers might.)
Besides, he has a Chinese wife! That should say something!
Great video ,I,m new to your channel .Im also Canadian older like yourself with a fantastic Chinese wife,Na, from Guangzhou .When were back in China the one thing I love the most,other than the food,is BEER.Being Canadian we like our beer,going to an all you can eat hotpot that includes the beer fridge is the Canadian dream lol.
Yes life is all about the beer. It's hard to explain this to our wives but we try. Actually I had my wife believing that drinking beer was a Canadian tradition. That worked until she met my friends wives. Damn those friends wives. Smile
lol My wife never drank beer till she moved to Canada with me ,now she will always drink my beer but not her own .The one thing that you might want to talk about is when Chinese move to Canada.My wife was a software engineer in china with a BA.She is now finishing school at St Lawrence in business accounting because all she could find for work was in Chinese restaurant .Even with a 3.99gpa she is not getting any jobs and we may have to move to China for her to get good paying job .
Good idea Kevin as I've seen this before when doing immigration. The Chinese credentials aren't recognized in the western world so they either re-educate or take a labour intensive job. Engineers to draft person, accountant to bookkeeper etc.
Winston makes videos on the topic of China with a mix of objective facts and his personal subjective opinions. Naturally, when discussing a country of any size, broad generalizations are necessary. He would of course understand that everyone is different and that there are exceptions to every observation. It takes courage to express his own opinions online to 300k+ people and I respect him for that. There is a difference between disliking something and spreading hate. He never encourages any sort of hatred, whereas the majority of the comments here spreads a distasteful personal characterizations of a person they never met. I do not always agree with his opinions, but what he did was spark my interest for a country I knew little about. I've now lived in China for 2 years and enjoying my life to the fullest, much thanks to his videos!
There are a lot of nice guys that have stupid points of view. Those two are not mutually exclusive. So setting aside of what kind of person he really is, what that serpentza dude does is, however, simply catering his audience. As Chinese really don't contribute too much towards his click or income for what matters, he learned a trick or two from his besty ADVchina and makes his livelihood by bad mouthing China. We get it. It's not personal. At the same time though, one cannot blame people for feeling outrageous from those hostile words.
But my question really, is why the hell you, Gweilo, want any piece of this?
He can express his frustration at dishonesty.
Winston is not a good guy, that's it.
Why?
Because his videos are based on his own bias. His opinions are radical. He thinks he is superior than Chinese. From his deep heart, he dislikes China and Chinese at all. All he wants is money, so he exerts every effort to make videos to cater to his patrons regardless of reality.
Has he posted anything "fake"?
Please come to China and experience by yourself. You won't believe what I say anyway.
simon wang did you get your 10cents today?
Frankly i am 99% agree w/ gweilo 60 assessment to serpentza.
TBH, i think mr.winston is really love china (in his own way of course),.. yes i do feel he is occasionally being dishonest, exaggerate bad things about china, soft click bait? :p ect, ect... (must be connected w/ his youtuber life, money & audiences base. of course).
but, by the way he is "exposing" the bad things lead me to feel that deep down in his heart he just want the ppl in china (mainland) to be a better human tomorrow.
because there is NO "perfect coulture", why can't we, the chinese ppl just take the positive lesson out of it.
Exposing bad things in TH-cam can't let China be better.
Someone dug a lot of holes in your park area, good thing you didn't fall into one of them.
LOL
Thanks always enjoy your topics and your opinions. Have been subscribed to serpent za for over a year now and stumbled on your Channel I always enjoy the scenery in NANING CHINA,also when serpentza does video footage of countryside, & drone shots. They are so cool and beautiful to see from the vantage point of the sky keep up the great work look forward to your next one someday I will be there soon at least that is the plan LOL
we can only see you are a nice guy, but not much more about him.
Different generation self-media reporting on different subject, having different view and idea. In countries allow different views, we are used to this, thinking it is fun to hear different voices. But in China, any negative opinion may often be considered as "dis-respect or dislike". I believe Winston didn't mean to hurt Chinese people's feeling, he is just young, dare to talk about his personal experiences.
You got up so early, haha
You rock.
look like a good title.
After 4 ads on your last videos and none on this one...what's the point? why antagonize me first and then treat me well? just split the difference?
As a first time viewer, I think you're great, I'll be sure to watch more.
Another good video and thanks so much for introducing my channel! Looking forward to seeing more of your videos and grabbing a drink in Nanning!
Thanks Jacoby and for sure to grabbing a drink
Such a small world haha, so surprised to see you at the end of the video.
Hey Peter, haha yeah we started talking after one of his last videos and he offered to put a clip introducing my channel! A really nice guy. I guess Nanning now has two people sharing videos on TH-cam Haha
That's so cool, I think the city benefits more from you guys than vice versa. Where are you from in the United States, is it close to where he's from in Canada?
Yeah I hope so, I think Gweilo 60 (Kirk) and I both just try to show what it's like living here from our perspectives. Really appreciate the feedback. I'm from Oregon on the West coast, and I believe he is from one of the provinces in the center of Canada? I'm not positive.. Kirk you see this? haha
kirk,, love your honest views of china and life. now lets get some cold beer in nanning. I will look you up mid april.
seems like a rally around serpentza to attract new subscribers
SerpentZA may not be very popular to your viewers but I do appreciate you taking the stand to air your opinion no matter the blowback. Sub!
I like your videos, thumbs up, keep going please!
BBQ AT NIGHT IS THE BEST!
You are great. Gweilo 60 is a good man.
Winston is downright hostile towards China. I used to like his videos, but all of his recent uploads are full of prejudice and complaints and only shows the negative aspect of China. I don't get it, if you hate it so much Winston, why don't you just leave the country? China is not beginning you to stay here. Also, lose that black suite and tie. I've unsubscribed to his channel.
Because he loves China. Why are the Chinese so sensitive to an outsider criticizing laws or customs? Most nations can handle it without making the "love it or leave it" meme argument.
tu pendejo
Must be were you live. I can openly criticize the US without much hate. I'm more likely to get some attempt at justification or counter-argument.
I notice that too when I watched some of their Videos in China, especially Spentza. Intentional negative aspects of China by searching for all the "Dirty Dustbins" there to increase his Western Viewers, that means income from TH-cam. A well dressed young man, smooth talker, no proper work, typical arrogant white supremacist, depending on his Chinese wife's salary. In China such a despicable person is called, "eat soft rice". The actual test will come whether he will bring his Chinese wife back to the West for good or just dump her?
AwesomeTea oh please criticizing China on a foreign platform with 90% forienger audience is helping China ?Oh that is for the sake of China and that is for better of China ? fk off please...u got shxt loads of problems in ur own countries, and if u got time criticizing China, why don't you spend it fixing ur own countries problems.. The only fking reason a white guy criticizing China is to find moral superior and reinforcement to his preinstalled beliefs that China is shyt. Cause all of sudden China got so much stronger and richer and advanced, but my mom and dad and everyone told China is shyt and Communism is supposed to be poor ass fks, and they are supposed to be 3rd country forever, why are they where they are now, I can't believe it ?.So save the BS to yourself...and go fix racism, fake democracy, police brutality, inner cities, huge debts, welfare abuse, crumbling infrastructure, constant at war government, huge military spending and 0 civil spending, libtards, snowflake, mass shootings, school shootings, refugees, deportations, and those common shitty problems of ur collective West.. I can go on with the list, but i am tired.... fking hypocrite..
By the way, u wanna criticize China for a better China, go fking learn Chinese and make ur voice heard on Chinese social platform, and make positive changes.... i doubt u give a shyt abt it and fk off....
Professor, I get your messages! A resume of what i've heard from these 2 episodes. 1) Serpentza does videos for a living, you do videos for fun (by the way it was funny the description of having a old classic car in the garage for fun, and so true!!). 2)Videos of serpentza are pretty much scripted, and your videos are not scripted with words to words, because you've said in the video, you say whatever comes out from your head. Now is what I think, serpenzta only talks about controversial topics, because that's what viewers wants to hear, and that creates these online fights, the more comments he gets the more attention he attracts, and of course, more💲💲 he gets. That's the fundamental reason of why he only makes those kind of videos. And you, professor, you don't make videos for a living, you don't need controversial topics to drag attractions, instead I can see how you are enjoying your surroundings and expressing what you are feeling at the moment. It's comfortable to watch your videos, because it's not only negative credits like serpenztas'. (By the way, I would not mind if sometimes you talk about what China or Chinese people should improve, you will have my support, I am sure you can be objective, you are a smart guy who knows how to speak smoothly), no wonder why your way of talking sounds so comfortable, so you were an agent for clients for many years!!! 😊
I think he is just kinda outdated. A lot of videos he made aren't reflecting the daily life of average Chinese. He is too old to explain what's going on in China, such as fashion trend, way of living, sport industry, entertainment industry and so on, but he isn't that old enough to offer any wisdom here. He is going down now because he kinda traps in his own mindset, unlike some other newest youtubers in China.
SerpentZA is rational. Not a bad guy, but some of his subscribers don't like positive views of China. It is normal.
in Chinese 不是我的菜 - not my type, I watched a few his videos, then starting to feel uncomfortable to watch, I am Chinese BTW, no idea why, just the feeling, Most of the blogger like Gweilo I just watch to kill time without feeling-change moment
Gee whizz in reading some of the comments here there seem to be many overly sensitive Chinese nationals here that don't appreciate good blogs from non chinese people. Jealous much?
Not that simple. Swear to god, I personally SINCERELY think serpentza's videos are biased and not objective enough, he thinks he understands China, but unfortunately not so much. Please don't use the cheep nationalism excuse if you don't understand why so many Chinese viewers don't like him. Don't doubt our sincerity. We are equal. At least,
yourself (serpentza and many other serpentzas as well) could be biased as we could be.
Serpenza, a TH-camr makes money by bashing China in every possible way. He is pretty good at feeding his audience with provoking anti-China content and tittles, mixed with truth and lies. That’s why he is hated by the Chinese and I think he even enjoys that as it makes him popular.
Off topic here, but please please don't eat your food out of those thin plastic bags! I see them every where in low end Chinese food shops/stalls.
Good guy sometimes stupid. Sometimes stupid can be bad.
Gweilo 60 you are a good guy. serpentza himself is a good guy too. Both of you express differently. I like your views and how you express them better.
一個主要靠TH-cam 維生的人，最後一定變極端。
九妹不同意
Tsingtao is THE BEST. I drink it here in Canada!

If fat bearded women is the criteria then you've got priorities screwed just like how serpentza mentioned. Both you guys are nice.
I agree SerpentZA meant well and overall a good guy. However, I find him very judgemental and sometimes could not handle criticism well. Just as he hated the critical comments, so do some people who heard his comments. He basically put himself in the same level as the people he criticized.
I'd pick Dam Aykroyd, funny as @#$.

What Winston said about her wife seems to me extremely disrespectful: "Having a wonderful wife like her is a fantastic bonus for living in China". What kind of nice people would say that about their better halves?
Well he's only there to make some money, like he said the wife is a bonus !
