Hey Tenisha... good topic. Now that we know TikTok has been temporarily revived, the kids can go back to being distracted.😁 Prior to 2005 I had only traveled throughout North America and the Caribbean. My first time off the continent was a trip to China and boy did I return to the States a changed person (for real). My family was so sick of me telling them how China was nothing like the news portrayed and that American propaganda is real! I'm not letting them off the hook related to their Communist ways, but I was blown away by how more advanced Beijing, Guangzhou, Hong Kong and Shanghai were than the U.S. Since then I never believe the American media about other countries unless they're reporting on a natural disaster. I always encourage other travelers to put boots on the ground before they form an opinion.
@@MonaAnita Thank you for watching. I haven’t been to China yet but the Red Note app was eye opening. I hope we realize how much we have been lied to. The closed nature of their government doesn’t help with misconceptions. Unfortunately, the media doesn’t dispel the myths.
