As an Aussie that's travelled to China twice it's great that you guys are showing the hospitality and friendlyness of real Chinese people. Oh, and btw the girl at the gas station wasn't kicking you out she was saying you can't use your phone next to the fuel pumps lol
I have been living in China full time since 2018. I've tried making it my goal to show the outside world China is a beautiful country with wonderful people. I've faced a ton of backlash because of it, so to see a huge channel such as you guys share the message I believe in to a larger audience makes me incredibly happy.
I spent some time there way back in 2010. And even then China felt already way ahead the compensation. So clean and so modern. However, whe I returned home and started telling people about it no one wanted to believe me. They said i was exposed to too much propaganda. It's sad how easy your own friends and family will go against you to defend something they heard from the media without even experiencing themselves! 😢😢😢
@@ipg6772what did you say about China that people don't believe? Despite of the one party dictatorship, if you don't care about politics, often times you can have a normal and decent life.
Exactly man! But you know what's sad, if you go to Japan and say the same thing about Japan as you would China, the people will love you so much. It's like we're conditioned to not like China at all costs@@ipg6772
Trust me I have full compassion for you my friend, I've had severe anxiety and panic attacks in the past. One thing that really helped me was understanding that you don't get rid of the anxiety as such, you become okay with it by venturing into on purpose and teaching your body that it's okay to feel. Paradoxically the anxiety fades because you've got better at being with it. This was definitely a process where patience and compassion was key for me, you got this! @@Heroo01
Through the power of yes, I decided to meet my Chinese neighbours, in the last 3 months they have become like family. Having seen this, I'm even more excited about when I'll finally be able to take them up on their offer and visit the rest of their family in China. Fyi - it was uncle and aunty, but somehow it's become momma and pop 😅 We have dinner regularly and the dad has even helped me paint. Such loving and kind people. 💕
Ask them what happened on June 4, 1989 in Beijing. Ask them what they think of 80,000,000 dying under Mao. Ask them to name ONE thing that Winnie the Pooh (Xi) can improve? They will glitch and won't be able to answer any of these things. They are like robots, programmed from day one.
Wow! This is wonderful to read. I think many chinese people who live in the west are afraid that the people of the west feel negatively towards them when it isnt the case at all.
The lady wasn't kicking you out of the gas station 😊 She was just telling you that you can't use your phone near the pumps. They have signs telling you you're not allowed to use your phone outside of your car at most gas stations in the UK.
Can I just say I really absolutely LOVEDDD this China series?! I love every single moment of each series! As a Singaporean Chinese who has travelled to China a couple of times, it's so heartwarming to see you guys also getting the same treatment I've received --- being showered with all the love and support from the Chinese people. Ever since then, I've always wanted to travel back to China again... It's never enough, the food, the people and the scenery (it's sooooo breathtaking)... Thank you for showing us the true China!! And to Matt, thank you for everything!! All the best for the next journey!
This series in china has been my favorite! As an european living in china, i feel gratefull that you guys are being so openminded about this travel. Showing the hospitality and kindness of chinese people, cant deny that it must have been amazing thing to experience for the yestheory team
I have really enjoyed this China series! I love seeing how welcoming and friendly the people of China are especially in this video as they have said yes to taking you on a hitchhiking adventure. This has given me an inspiration to visit China someday! I'll look forward to seeing the upcoming adventures in 2024!
As a disabled veteran USMC. I just wanna thank you guys for bringing joy and hope, you guys n your videos were a bright light in my dark lonely life especially on my birthday n holidays. Thanks for saving my life…
@@aye3678 nah china still a shit hole, nearly a country on North Korea level. Xi Jinping is running the country into a state of crisis but sure don’t believe the mainstream media. Don’t believe the ongoing genocide or the fact that the majority of the country lives below the poverty line
Dazhaxie (hairy crabs)!! Omg you guys are in for a treat ! For those don’t know, Hairy crabs are an autumn delicacy in southern China. If someone invited you to taste crabs together it means they’re really treating you as the most honorable guests (cuz these crabs can be pricy at times) ! Also these crabs do taste brilliant if you enjoy umami . ❤
@@krishagarwal1844 being in the lime light for several years caused him profound anxiety. The pressure to always be "on" got way too much for him. Unlike Thomas who's personality can stand that kind of environment, Matt's can't. Matt will join sporadic adventures going forward, but he will only communicate his life updates through his newsletter. He is off of social media for good, and unless he has a project he feels is IG worthy, he will not restart on the platform. Unlike his brother Tommy, who can withstand the limelight, Matt isn't cut out for that. While business end of Yes Theory he is great at, he hosting is exhausting for him. Thus he made the tough decision to leave. Writing Talk to Strangers took it out of him as well, now that that's completed, he will go disappear for awhile and emerge every so often for epic Yes Theory adventures, kinda like Derin did.
Mental health. In his mind being on camera and being himself and a fancy writer is not compatible. I think he is great for the channel and the channel is good for him. He can join on a couple adventures but he decided to split completely. He treats the channel like a weird drug addiction he rather kicks completely instead of having fun responsibly and occasionaly @@krishagarwal1844
I loved the china series, it’s really lovely that you completely immersed yourself and stayed so respectful to the people and the culture. Matt will be so very missed. I wish him nothing but luck on his future adventures.
This series really changed my perspective on this country and it’s people. The media pushes a really unfriendly narrative about China but I think it’s fair to say the opposite was shown through this series
The people of China seem like very friendly people! The government however is shady and dangerous... Kinda like the U.S when you really think about it lol
The western governments and media are trying to prime us all into supporting a future war with China. As sad as it is. The best we can do is be extremely skeptical of any news of foreign countries that are considered "threats" of the western hemisphere, and try to contrast it with different sources always. My rule of thumb is that if any news provoke a visceral reaction of hatred on me, I should always remain skeptical and research more on that topic.
people are the same everywhere, just products of their environment. in china their media loves to paint the US in a negative, antagonistic light so it wouldn’t be surprising that they think of americans in certain ways. it’s nice to step back and realize people are people at the end of the day, it’s those in power that make the malicious decisions
whatever western media says about china is the opposite. just CIA led propaganda to try and destroy China because America is afraid of losing its number 1 spot.
If you are interested in learning about China's progress and history, please provide some travel advice: If you want to explore 3,000 years of history, go to Xi'an. If you want to explore 1,000 years of history, go to Beijing. If you want to explore 100 years of China from colonization to modernization, you can go to Shanghai. If you want to see a city plan built on a mountain with modern infrastructure. For the dream city built in 40 years, let's go to Chongqing. If you want to see the future, go to Shenzhen. This is a very rough and comprehensive statement. If we continue to add the different natural landscapes and biomes provided by China, the list will be endless, because China is very large, with too many beautiful places and many beautiful cities and natural landscapes. What is the best of all this? No matter where you go in China, as long as it is where people live, you are absolutely safe! You are free to explore! China is safe 24 hours a day, bars and various entertainment venues are open 24 hours a day, and restaurants are open 24 hours a day! Don't worry about being shot🇨🇳
Great trip, from your first comments about china when you first arrived in your first video to now as hitchhiking explorers . China is so misconceived . Chinese people are very friendly and hospitable and hardworking. I always wanted to work and live in a foreign country away from San Diego, Southern California. I first came to China for two weeks as a consultant and never left. after celebrating my 20th year here, i’m happy i choose an adventure in China. I have always been treated with kindness and i’ve traveled to every corner and each place was unique in local language, customs, history and heritage but kindness remained the thread throughout the culture. Yes Theory team shows that everyone is connected and at the heart ,everyone is kind throughout the world . thank you for taking us on your adventures and showing not to be afraid of other cultures. continued success to all on your team. Next time you are in Shanghai, i’ll buy you a beer. Xie Xie Ni, P. Jacobs
I actually genuinely cannot express how genuinely criminaly underated this comment actually is and this world actually genuinely needs more people actually like you in this world and you actually couldn't have said that actually any better than me lol.
Wow I have really enjoyed this China series! Thomas saying “We’re only getting started” gave me chills at the end. Can’t wait to see what’s in store for 2024. 🎉❤
I just have to say as a new arrival to this channel but a proud American and an Army veteran, that I absolutely love your channel and your purpose, I have loved watching especially your China videos because it has really helped open my eyes to how wonderfully different yet generally kind humanity is no matter the border line or flag flown, love what you guys do and for the love you all show to everyone. Thank you for showing everyone the beautiful truths about our planet :) Thank you for opening my eyes wider! I look forward to seeing what you guys show in 2024!
China's tradition is one of warm hospitality and generosity. We often invite good friends to dine with us, even those we have just met through a few conversations. This is something that virtually impossible in many other countries.
Those series rid me of my stereotypes about China and rethink about life. Thank you thank you so much. Thank you Matt for have been in the yes theory. Whatever you do and wherever you are you will inspire people like you always do!!
Love you guys so much! Thank you for bridging the gaps among us by staying curious and open-minded to learn from people who may look "different" than us. This is what we need at a time like this. We need to start recognizing that we are all part of the human family, and we can all learn, grow and make our world a much more loving, compassionate and connected place where we can all thrive!
It's nice to see people behave so well while doing challenges abroad. There have been some other youtubers recently that have been acting disrespectfully while traveling for views. You guys set the bar for how to produce content that is both entertaining and admirable. I'm actually amazed at how quickly you have been able to get rides! I love how Steffan always goes a little extra and people are too curious and excited about him to say no.
Thank you for showing the kindness of the people in China. In the western world people are often sceptical of China because of the government but when I was 18 I left my comfort zone and moved to China for half a year and got to see for myself. I've never been to a country where the people were more guest friendly. You guys are amazing and inspiring. Thank you and happy new year!
Really enjoyed the China series guys- you opened our eyes (as you’ve done many times before)and showed us China that many of us may have never known before! Despite the barriers of spoken language, you found the language of connection! This was fun, adventurous and hopeful. Thanks for a wonderful series and wish you all very Happy Holidays! Best wishes to Matt! See you next year!
Thank you for showing us the true China and its people, its hospitality and open-mindedness, with its goods and bads. This is what the internet needs, instead of those prejudice and one-sided narrative in the media.
@@lq9734I am wondering the same? All of the people in the comments saying that this series changed their perspective on china! How do people perceive china? I never imagined it to be anything other that what is shown in the series
I enjoy these series, lets just hope one day they don't get exposed in a video titled "the channel that did chinese govt sponspored propaganda"@@mandy4679
I traveled to China for 2 weeks back in 2017. It was the best experience of my life. I visited many cities that were in this video like Shanghai, Nanjing, etc. One of my good college friends was born and raised in China so he was our travel guide. We traveled all over China and saw the great wall of china & many smaller cities where the locals have never seen an American in person. I would love to go back and visit again.
Now I'd like to see two Chinese guys with no English apart from "hello" & their Chinese passports hitchhiking across the United States of America! They will get "citizen arrested" or shot by police within a few days.
Wow, definitely the China series is my favorite series on your TH-cam channel. Absolutely amazing and soo different from what mainstream media like BBC DW VOA showed us. Absolutely refreshing.
Damn, I miss China! My wife (Chinese born) recently mentioned that we may go back and visit her birth place in rural Canton and I am so hyped! I have a feeling that I will try to get lost as much as I can (with my 7 yrs old son?) and try all the random stuff we can find. We've sort of done it in the past in Shanghai, but you guys are an inspiration to push the boundaries. The last part of the video, with you drinking with random people brought back memory of us in Turkey drinking and laughing with Russians and Kazakhstani. Yes, there's the war and all the controversy, but people can be awesome. They even found our phone the morning after we had a few Jagermeisters too many... Keep up the good work! Keep the good feelings flow!
Rural Canton is amazing. Depending on where you are in the province, you can perhaps see some of the most unique villages on earth, some beautiful moutains, tropical seashores, and most importantly, a lot of fresh and tasty foods. Hope you enjoy the trip!
@@rogerlin8145 we were in Xinhui and we did indeed see a lot of interesting things. There was a huge park near the city with quiet lakes and huge pagoda-like buildings, and then we visited what I think is called "the birds' paradise", a natural reserve that offers some amazing views while on a boat in a quiet lagoon. It definitely was a good trip, and the food was just fantastic too. I had the luck to try some local cuisine, some stewed wild birds, cooked papayas (in the farm where they were grown). I picked my own sugar cane. It was a truly magical time.
China was very low on my travel list but since watching this series I'm very keen to travel there, the Country looks beautiful and the people so welcoming.
Hi, I have been a fan for about 2 years now since I have discovered your videos & you are the most amazing group on TH-cam. I have stuck in my room this entire week with the flu & severely sick. Watching your videos has brought some light & joy into my life this week & I am so grateful. Hearing back from you guys would make that even better. Everything you guys do is amazing!!!! 👍
Wow! What a beautiful end to your extraordinary warm adventures in China! It has been a joy to view your incredible and moving series! You have opened the eyes of your entire audience and beyond -- of how special, friendly, and beautiful China and its people can be. Where there was apprehension or even fear -- there is instead hope and a renewed excitement to visit there!! You have impacted millions. So nice to see Derin along on this trip of Yes Theory celebration -- and so nice to see Matt join you. Again, I will have to say that I hope that Matt will indeed participate at least once or twice a year in Yes Theory adventures. This does not have to be the end -- we hope he can be part of more adventures to come -- as we would miss him too much otherwise. Thank you Yes Theory for your incredible impact and work to touch your audience and to make the globe a better place. All our love to Matt and much success on the new book! Can't wait to read it.
Hello Yes Theory dudes! My name is Niko and I am 11 years old. I am from Ukraine! I love your videos very much! Thank you for all the stuff you do! Safe and happy travels dudes!
@@MercyMoscow Hello Mr DeeBoss148. I dont think there can be any fame or glory when grown men rape and kill innocent women and children. I am 11 years old and am knowing this.
This last video for 2023 leaves a remarkable message for all. Getting out of your comfort zone and trying to challenge yourself to grow and see what possible things can happen stepping one step at a time. Lots of love to the Yes Theory family ❤
Staffan is bringing such good vibes! He is the kind of person I would invite to a house party of mine where he doesn't know any of my friends, and I wouldn't be nervous at all, if he would hit it off with anyone and everyone. What a great guy!
I was hoping there was more from your time in China. There are some area of China where the main way to get around seems like hitchhike (you don't get your own car/taxi, you share with others headed the same direction), so can't say I'm surprised it worked (even if took awhile sometimes). People there are curious and so wonderfully hospitable. Can't wait to visit again.
@@wenliu9571 I'm very aware, but I have also traveled in areas of China where what I describe was the best way to get where I was going. Once, every passing bus was full, so the shared car was my only choice. Other towns, however you booked the car, the driver would troll for more customers on the route. Buses and trains are fantastic there, my point was people are more used to and open to the idea of hitchhiking than in some other places of the world cause of things like I'm describing.
I just wanted to thank you for creating videos and telling stories like that. I have been struggling with depression and derealization and watching your videos, along with therapy ofc, helped me a lot to get back trust into people. I’m grateful for all the people giving something back, thanks for constantly giving them a voice. Greetings from Berlin Germany :)
You find the best of humanity wherever you go. Great series guys- completely obliterated my preconceived notions of China. It’s now a place I’d look forward to visiting.
I feel so many emotions when I watch these videos. They have helped me become more comfortable with myself and my social anxiety. Watching you interact with strangers reminds me to be more open about meeting new people. I really hope one day you guys come to Bosnia.

Beautiful ❤ I just love Yes Theory! Sadly I have metastatic breast cancer (terminal) and find it hard travelling anywhere now, so I travel ‘virtually’ with you guys now. Thank you for the incredible experiences, you’re all amazing souls. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️🌻🌻🌻
@@timmcgraw3096 thank you so much. Some days are easier than others but I’m blessed to still be here (7.5 years now) after a 3-6 month prognosis. Every day is a blessing.
Such a shame you guys didn't make it further into Suzhou! I've lived here for 3 years now and it is honestly my favourite city in the world! Fun fact, it is known as the "Venice of China" by locals due to its intricate canal system and I've never seen another city come close to how Suzhou blends the historical and the modern. Such an incredible city! Please try and make it back some day!!
Love this video. For anyone considering travelling in China, I’d highly recommend! I went for one month in 2011, no phone, not able to speak mandarin and we were able to get around using only the maps in our lonely planet book and asking for directions. You can definitely navigate and get around using public transportation on your own, we went to Beijing and Shanghai and mostly smaller rural towns across China and it wasn’t always easy but was an adventure.
Watched from Kenya & what can i say ,you guys are nothing but daring in the challenges you put up for each other but then again, been learning alot about pushing human limits from your videos.
What an Amazing video ! to be completely honest, before the video China was not one of my preferred Travel destinations for the future. I didn’t even really consider going anytime because I thought so wrong of the country, even though I’m a halftime med student/ halftime traveller. Your Video once again opened my eyes and widened my horizon, I definitely want to go and see China one day. Thank you for this, and for every other eye opening or just entertaining video you guys give us. Cheers !
It is honestly so wild how Staffan is able to just FEEL when someone will be willing to help or that they know english. Just goes to show that his pure heart and good energy really goes a long way. Great last episode!
I live in Shanghai, previously lived in Shenzhen almost 10 years. This is not surprising. Chinese people are very hospitable and would no doubt go out their way to help you out. Great video!
Thanks for introducing litte chinese everywhere channel.. Been binge watching her videos too. I am seeing china with a new light because of these videos..
Cheers to another amazing year of Yes Theory full of adventures, lovely people, emotional and inspirational stories. Congratulations to the whole team. Love you guys.
just through watching these its super emotional so cant imagine living through these beautiful moments and actually tying to be so present and grateful must be damn hard. Hope after these adventures you do have enough time to reflect and appreciate all of these moments even if its hard and work hard at the same time. You did great this year and no person under these comment section will doubt that next year you will be doing your absolute best no matter what. Love, From Hungary
I mean, come on. Couldn’t love this more. All of you so much. Matt’s giggles. Stefan’s pure heart. Thomas’s spirit. Derins just goodheartedness. I’ve been with y’all since just after project 30. And will be here always. 💛💛💛
Wow! That was a hell of an episode! These crazy adventures that you share on youtube are incredibly inspiring to travel and meet people from all over the world! Thank you so much for the last year, you really inspired me to do things that I wouldn't have done otherwise
@@摩柯切叶阿诺托 most americans know chinese as good people, plus chinese media and russian media shows us as bad as well. why cant we both strive together under one flag?
Yes if you’re into big cities, SH or Guangzhou would be fun. If you’re into work life balance and good scenery, I would say look into Chengdu and Yunnan .
It can be pretty intimidating travelling to China if you don't speak Chinese. I found the language barrier was quite high (Translation apps are incredibly helpful but trying to navigate without one is an experience in itself!). But if you can past the initial panic of not being able to read, understand or communicate with most people first hand, it truly is a wonderful place to visit full of unique experiences, fascinating history and delicious food.
this series in China is immediately a fave! never knew how hospitable Chinese people are and how beautiful their cities can be. Staffan and Thomas getting kicked out of the car but was only 1km away from the train station was an absolute MIRACLE like my jaw dropped 😂 -- i've only discovered your channel this year and i must say i'm so damn grateful to stumble on your videos! kinda timely though ^^ i truly believe i found YesTheory at the right time as i've started to open my mind a lot more and develop new perspectives on life this year, as a graduating college student. thank you for helping me out this year :) i can't wait for what 2024 has in store!
As a Chinese, this is such a huge inspiration and so warm for yes theory to highlight the pure love that Chinese people hold. Thank you thank you thank you!! ❤
WOW. Never in a million years would I have thought that yes theory would film an episode or even travel to my city of residence Nanjing, China. Been watching you guys for 4 years now and I love you guys so much.
There could not have been a better series for Matt to wrap up his yes theory journey. Seeing all the kind strangers and the interactions was so wholesome. Thank you boys for allowing us to travel and meet people through your documentations!
Hey Thomas, I got really inspired by your guys mission and I just returned from China, where we went to places as for example a place that is considered to be the most dangerous hike in the world (HuaShan Mountain). We also completed the Plank walk and I did record some bits of it as well. Now that I’m processing all the experiences that happened, I really would love to talk with you for a couple of minutes…please reach out to me if you find some time in all the busy projects you’re working on. All the best and keep seeking the wildest discomforts
So many heartwarming and unexpected moments in this series. Another reminder that we are all the same. A people is not it’s government. And when you seek discomfort, amazing adventures lay ahead
I keep hearing this government nonsense. Do you ever wonder why China has developed so much under Chinese government? Why the people in China are so happy under their government?
The Chinese govt is awesome, just like its citizens. They're far better for its people than the so called liberal democracies. Y'all yanks have been brainwashed and you don't even know it..
i am chinese，i like goverment ，The Chinese government helps the Chinese people overcome poverty，The Uyghur issue is also a Western media smear campaign against China，real The Uyghur people receive a lot of preferential treatment in China. If you think I'm lying to you，well come to china
I am super glad you guys did a China series to show everyone worldwide that China is not such a bad country. I have been in China for nearly 11 years and it is one of the best Countries I have lived in. The people are super friendly. It was very entertaining watching you guys travel across China and have loads of fun fun fun!

this series changed the way how people think of China as a whole, from its amazing places to its hospitable people.
Absolutely! A good reminder to not listen to mainstream media.
Western media is full of bull. all it does it try to demonize china and chinese peoeple because China is advancing so much.
@@aye3678 nah china still a shit hole, nearly a country on North Korea level. Xi Jinping is running the country into a state of crisis but sure don’t believe the mainstream media. Don’t believe the ongoing genocide or the fact that the majority of the country lives below the poverty line
Chinese just never changed, it is the western media and politicians want you to think how bad Chinese are.
It's not the people. It's the government
Dazhaxie (hairy crabs)!! Omg you guys are in for a treat ! For those don’t know, Hairy crabs are an autumn delicacy in southern China. If someone invited you to taste crabs together it means they’re really treating you as the most honorable guests (cuz these crabs can be pricy at times) !
Also these crabs do taste brilliant if you enjoy umami . ❤
我都好几年没吃过大闸蟹了，确实贵吃不起哈哈
It’s kinda weird to translate it to hairy crab.
Good Bye Matt, it was good watching you, I really enjoyed. I hope Thomas and Amar stay back and motivate every human being on this planet.
1000% yes
Do you know why he is leaving?
@@krishagarwal1844 being in the lime light for several years caused him profound anxiety. The pressure to always be "on" got way too much for him. Unlike Thomas who's personality can stand that kind of environment, Matt's can't. Matt will join sporadic adventures going forward, but he will only communicate his life updates through his newsletter. He is off of social media for good, and unless he has a project he feels is IG worthy, he will not restart on the platform. Unlike his brother Tommy, who can withstand the limelight, Matt isn't cut out for that. While business end of Yes Theory he is great at, he hosting is exhausting for him. Thus he made the tough decision to leave. Writing Talk to Strangers took it out of him as well, now that that's completed, he will go disappear for awhile and emerge every so often for epic Yes Theory adventures, kinda like Derin did.
@@krishagarwal1844watch the yes theory podcast it’s a series and it explains why he’s leaving and his journey of leaving
Mental health. In his mind being on camera and being himself and a fancy writer is not compatible. I think he is great for the channel and the channel is good for him. He can join on a couple adventures but he decided to split completely. He treats the channel like a weird drug addiction he rather kicks completely instead of having fun responsibly and occasionaly @@krishagarwal1844
I loved the china series, it’s really lovely that you completely immersed yourself and stayed so respectful to the people and the culture.
Matt will be so very missed. I wish him nothing but luck on his future adventures.
This series really changed my perspective on this country and it’s people. The media pushes a really unfriendly narrative about China but I think it’s fair to say the opposite was shown through this series
The people of China seem like very friendly people! The government however is shady and dangerous... Kinda like the U.S when you really think about it lol
The western governments and media are trying to prime us all into supporting a future war with China. As sad as it is. The best we can do is be extremely skeptical of any news of foreign countries that are considered "threats" of the western hemisphere, and try to contrast it with different sources always. My rule of thumb is that if any news provoke a visceral reaction of hatred on me, I should always remain skeptical and research more on that topic.
people are the same everywhere, just products of their environment. in china their media loves to paint the US in a negative, antagonistic light so it wouldn’t be surprising that they think of americans in certain ways. it’s nice to step back and realize people are people at the end of the day, it’s those in power that make the malicious decisions
whatever western media says about china is the opposite. just CIA led propaganda to try and destroy China because America is afraid of losing its number 1 spot.
It's a communist country.
i just got back from a trip in china and i have never had this level of post-trip depression....best country i have ever been to!! i need to go back
Same...making me doubt why I'm living in the UK when China was so amazing.
@@LoosSerine let’s move to China my friend 🤣🤣
@@LoosSerineWelcome friendly people to visit China?🤝🤝
欢迎再回来❤
One day I will go to all the cities you guys have been to in China. Such a beautiful country with kind hearted people.
that's like less than 1% of all Chinese cities...
You are so wrong. Every chinese city is more developed than your little american brain can imagine. Stop being brainwashed @@LiyueHuman
@@LiyueHumanLol but its a good start. you would need YEARS to explore it in its entirety..
If you are interested in learning about China's progress and history, please provide some travel advice:
If you want to explore 3,000 years of history, go to Xi'an.
If you want to explore 1,000 years of history, go to Beijing.
If you want to explore 100 years of China from colonization to modernization, you can go to Shanghai.
If you want to see a city plan built on a mountain with modern infrastructure. For the dream city built in 40 years, let's go to Chongqing.
If you want to see the future, go to Shenzhen.
This is a very rough and comprehensive statement. If we continue to add the different natural landscapes and biomes provided by China, the list will be endless, because China is very large, with too many beautiful places and many beautiful cities and natural landscapes.
What is the best of all this? No matter where you go in China, as long as it is where people live, you are absolutely safe! You are free to explore!
China is safe 24 hours a day, bars and various entertainment venues are open 24 hours a day, and restaurants are open 24 hours a day! Don't worry about being shot🇨🇳
Welcome to Hong Kong, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Beijing, and of course my own city: Shenzhen !
Great trip, from your first comments about china when you first arrived in your first video to now as hitchhiking explorers . China is so misconceived . Chinese people are very friendly and hospitable and hardworking. I always wanted to work and live in a foreign country away from San Diego, Southern California. I first came to China for two weeks as a consultant and never left. after celebrating my 20th year here, i’m happy i choose an adventure in China. I have always been treated with kindness and i’ve traveled to every corner and each place was unique in local language, customs, history and heritage but kindness remained the thread throughout the culture. Yes Theory team shows that everyone is connected and at the heart ,everyone is kind throughout the world . thank you for taking us on your adventures and showing not to be afraid of other cultures. continued success to all on your team. Next time you are in Shanghai, i’ll buy you a beer. Xie Xie Ni, P. Jacobs
I actually genuinely cannot express how genuinely criminaly underated this comment actually is and this world actually genuinely needs more people actually like you in this world and you actually couldn't have said that actually any better than me lol.
Wow I have really enjoyed this China series! Thomas saying “We’re only getting started” gave me chills at the end. Can’t wait to see what’s in store for 2024. 🎉❤
Welcome to travel to China! Welcome to book your itinerary with me!
It’s amazing how they did not go to see Rose and Ansai .. the Ugandan woman married to a Chinese man !
How could they not go see that TH-camr ?
You guys have shown why I’ve lived in China for 13 years.
What do you do for work over there?
@@MK_2023.fr
you hitchhiked in China for 13 years???? Quite a feat!

Absolutely love your China episodes. China is fully of fantastic surprises
I just have to say as a new arrival to this channel but a proud American and an Army veteran, that I absolutely love your channel and your purpose, I have loved watching especially your China videos because it has really helped open my eyes to how wonderfully different yet generally kind humanity is no matter the border line or flag flown, love what you guys do and for the love you all show to everyone. Thank you for showing everyone the beautiful truths about our planet :) Thank you for opening my eyes wider! I look forward to seeing what you guys show in 2024!
China's tradition is one of warm hospitality and generosity. We often invite good friends to dine with us, even those we have just met through a few conversations. This is something that virtually impossible in many other countries.
depends, i have had that in quite a few countries,. usually the poorer ones !!!!! poor poeple are nice than rich ones, in my expeirence.
Those series rid me of my stereotypes about China and rethink about life. Thank you thank you so much. Thank you Matt for have been in the yes theory. Whatever you do and wherever you are you will inspire people like you always do!!
Love you guys so much! Thank you for bridging the gaps among us by staying curious and open-minded to learn from people who may look "different" than us. This is what we need at a time like this. We need to start recognizing that we are all part of the human family, and we can all learn, grow and make our world a much more loving, compassionate and connected place where we can all thrive!
Well said!
I didn't want to travel to China before this video, but seeing how lively and friendly the people are, I'd love to go!
Welcome to travel to China! Welcome to book your itinerary with me!
It's nice to see people behave so well while doing challenges abroad. There have been some other youtubers recently that have been acting disrespectfully while traveling for views. You guys set the bar for how to produce content that is both entertaining and admirable. I'm actually amazed at how quickly you have been able to get rides! I love how Steffan always goes a little extra and people are too curious and excited about him to say no.
Thank you for showing the kindness of the people in China. In the western world people are often sceptical of China because of the government but when I was 18 I left my comfort zone and moved to China for half a year and got to see for myself. I've never been to a country where the people were more guest friendly. You guys are amazing and inspiring. Thank you and happy new year!
Really enjoyed the China series guys- you opened our eyes (as you’ve done many times before)and showed us China that many of us may have never known before! Despite the barriers of spoken language, you found the language of connection! This was fun, adventurous and hopeful. Thanks for a wonderful series and wish you all very Happy Holidays! Best wishes to Matt! See you next year!
Thank you for showing us the true China and its people, its hospitality and open-mindedness, with its goods and bads. This is what the internet needs, instead of those prejudice and one-sided narrative in the media.
well it not all good ..dont sway the other way now, everywhere there is good and bad living.
I agree with a lot of people that the China series has been a real joy to watch😀
I never thought that China was full of wholesome people and beautiful city landscape.
Why would that be so? Genuinely curious no offense..
Everyone knows that the BBC and other western media have been maliciously smearing China for many years.
@@lq9734I am wondering the same? All of the people in the comments saying that this series changed their perspective on china! How do people perceive china? I never imagined it to be anything other that what is shown in the series
The natural landscape is even more wow. Dont travel in high season though, horrible too much queing, like Disneyland.
I enjoy these series, lets just hope one day they don't get exposed in a video titled "the channel that did chinese govt sponspored propaganda"@@mandy4679
This China series has been my favourite I’ve seen in a long time!
I traveled to China for 2 weeks back in 2017. It was the best experience of my life. I visited many cities that were in this video like Shanghai, Nanjing, etc. One of my good college friends was born and raised in China so he was our travel guide. We traveled all over China and saw the great wall of china & many smaller cities where the locals have never seen an American in person. I would love to go back and visit again.
Welcome back, my friend,❤
Now I'd like to see two Chinese guys with no English apart from "hello" & their Chinese passports hitchhiking across the United States of America!
They will get "citizen arrested" or shot by police within a few days.
it's so heartwarming hearing all these ppl involved in rescueing stray dogs and cats
Wow, definitely the China series is my favorite series on your TH-cam channel. Absolutely amazing and soo different from what mainstream media like BBC DW VOA showed us. Absolutely refreshing.
Damn, I miss China! My wife (Chinese born) recently mentioned that we may go back and visit her birth place in rural Canton and I am so hyped! I have a feeling that I will try to get lost as much as I can (with my 7 yrs old son?) and try all the random stuff we can find. We've sort of done it in the past in Shanghai, but you guys are an inspiration to push the boundaries.
The last part of the video, with you drinking with random people brought back memory of us in Turkey drinking and laughing with Russians and Kazakhstani. Yes, there's the war and all the controversy, but people can be awesome. They even found our phone the morning after we had a few Jagermeisters too many...
Keep up the good work! Keep the good feelings flow!
Rural Canton is amazing. Depending on where you are in the province, you can perhaps see some of the most unique villages on earth, some beautiful moutains, tropical seashores, and most importantly, a lot of fresh and tasty foods. Hope you enjoy the trip!
@@rogerlin8145 we were in Xinhui and we did indeed see a lot of interesting things. There was a huge park near the city with quiet lakes and huge pagoda-like buildings, and then we visited what I think is called "the birds' paradise", a natural reserve that offers some amazing views while on a boat in a quiet lagoon. It definitely was a good trip, and the food was just fantastic too. I had the luck to try some local cuisine, some stewed wild birds, cooked papayas (in the farm where they were grown). I picked my own sugar cane. It was a truly magical time.
China is so modern and beautiful and the people so kind, so different from how western media tries to portray it!
uh not here, dutch, we have had great china docs, now you globalise everyone.
Yes~ I live in China and people are so friendly and hospitable 😊
China was very low on my travel list but since watching this series I'm very keen to travel there, the Country looks beautiful and the people so welcoming.
Bad idea.
@@azieldaly2965 Because of what? Because you don’t want people to know what real China is? Have you been to China? 🤔
@@mm8693 The real China is a dystopian police state.
Most safest and cheapest place to travel in the world.
You can go to China 10x and still havent experience it all.
I'm in love with China vlogs. Keep exploring and showing me more. Merry Christmas to all.
Hi, I have been a fan for about 2 years now since I have discovered your videos & you are the most amazing group on TH-cam. I have stuck in my room this entire week with the flu & severely sick. Watching your videos has brought some light & joy into my life this week & I am so grateful. Hearing back from you guys would make that even better. Everything you guys do is amazing!!!! 👍
Wow! What a beautiful end to your extraordinary warm adventures in China! It has been a joy to view your incredible and moving series! You have opened the eyes of your entire audience and beyond -- of how special, friendly, and beautiful China and its people can be. Where there was apprehension or even fear -- there is instead hope and a renewed excitement to visit there!! You have impacted millions. So nice to see Derin along on this trip of Yes Theory celebration -- and so nice to see Matt join you. Again, I will have to say that I hope that Matt will indeed participate at least once or twice a year in Yes Theory adventures. This does not have to be the end -- we hope he can be part of more adventures to come -- as we would miss him too much otherwise. Thank you Yes Theory for your incredible impact and work to touch your audience and to make the globe a better place. All our love to Matt and much success on the new book! Can't wait to read it.
Hello Yes Theory dudes! My name is Niko and I am 11 years old. I am from Ukraine! I love your videos very much! Thank you for all the stuff you do! Safe and happy travels dudes!

Watching your journey across China is a real Christmas treat
This last video for 2023 leaves a remarkable message for all. Getting out of your comfort zone and trying to challenge yourself to grow and see what possible things can happen stepping one step at a time. Lots of love to the Yes Theory family ❤
Matt thank you for being here in entertaining us, and being apart of this journey with us! We only hope your journey after this is just as great. ❤
Staffan is bringing such good vibes! He is the kind of person I would invite to a house party of mine where he doesn't know any of my friends, and I wouldn't be nervous at all, if he would hit it off with anyone and everyone. What a great guy!
I was hoping there was more from your time in China. There are some area of China where the main way to get around seems like hitchhike (you don't get your own car/taxi, you share with others headed the same direction), so can't say I'm surprised it worked (even if took awhile sometimes). People there are curious and so wonderfully hospitable. Can't wait to visit again.
Almost all villages and towns have public transportation, which is cheap and convenient. You can also call an online taxi anywhere.
@@wenliu9571 I'm very aware, but I have also traveled in areas of China where what I describe was the best way to get where I was going. Once, every passing bus was full, so the shared car was my only choice. Other towns, however you booked the car, the driver would troll for more customers on the route. Buses and trains are fantastic there, my point was people are more used to and open to the idea of hitchhiking than in some other places of the world cause of things like I'm describing.
I just love those little stories you had on the way... lovely and touching
抓到野生美女😂
its funny
this is probably the best one yet, so many wholesome moments !!
I just wanted to thank you for creating videos and telling stories like that. I have been struggling with depression and derealization and watching your videos, along with therapy ofc, helped me a lot to get back trust into people. I’m grateful for all the people giving something back, thanks for constantly giving them a voice. Greetings from Berlin Germany :)
You find the best of humanity wherever you go. Great series guys- completely obliterated my preconceived notions of China. It’s now a place I’d look forward to visiting.
I feel so many emotions when I watch these videos. They have helped me become more comfortable with myself and my social anxiety. Watching you interact with strangers reminds me to be more open about meeting new people. I really hope one day you guys come to Bosnia.
This has changed my outlook on China I cannot lie

Such a shame you guys didn't make it further into Suzhou! I've lived here for 3 years now and it is honestly my favourite city in the world! Fun fact, it is known as the "Venice of China" by locals due to its intricate canal system and I've never seen another city come close to how Suzhou blends the historical and the modern. Such an incredible city! Please try and make it back some day!!
Suzhou is very nice city, very green and lots of trees and lakes.
Suzhou gardens are the most famous in Chinese history and modern times.
I think you can vist Shaoxing. it's also a typical canal town.
Love this video. For anyone considering travelling in China, I’d highly recommend! I went for one month in 2011, no phone, not able to speak mandarin and we were able to get around using only the maps in our lonely planet book and asking for directions. You can definitely navigate and get around using public transportation on your own, we went to Beijing and Shanghai and mostly smaller rural towns across China and it wasn’t always easy but was an adventure.
As a Chinese, I really appreciate your efforts to show the good side of China ！！Great work! We always welcome international friends to visit China!!
Watched from Kenya & what can i say ,you guys are nothing but daring in the challenges you put up for each other but then again, been learning alot about pushing human limits from your videos.
What an Amazing video ! to be completely honest, before the video China was not one of my preferred Travel destinations for the future. I didn’t even really consider going anytime because I thought so wrong of the country, even though I’m a halftime med student/ halftime traveller. Your Video once again opened my eyes and widened my horizon, I definitely want to go and see China one day. Thank you for this, and for every other eye opening or just entertaining video you guys give us. Cheers !
Welcome to China, people are really nice here!

Staffan has grown on me so much since he joined and we are lucky he is part of the team! Especially with Thomas, they are a great duo!
Big up the people of 🇨🇳. What a beautiful friendly community. ❤
Gonna miss you Matt. Good luck in the next chapter of your life. ❤
I used to live in Nanjing! Made me nostalgic seeing some of the sights that you all passed. Loved this video. Best of wishes, Matt!
I LOVE Stephans energy and attitude and spirit! It exudes joy love and innocence
It is honestly so wild how Staffan is able to just FEEL when someone will be willing to help or that they know english. Just goes to show that his pure heart and good energy really goes a long way. Great last episode!
I live in Shanghai, previously lived in Shenzhen almost 10 years. This is not surprising. Chinese people are very hospitable and would no doubt go out their way to help you out. Great video!
Love you Matt. This was the perfect series for you to depart on. Much love to the people of China!
My copy of TALK TO STRANGERS just arrived in the mail today! Stoked!
Thanks for introducing litte chinese everywhere channel.. Been binge watching her videos too. I am seeing china with a new light because of these videos..
Cheers to another amazing year of Yes Theory full of adventures, lovely people, emotional and inspirational stories. Congratulations to the whole team. Love you guys.
You guys have changed my life over the years. Thank you so much for everything you've done
just through watching these its super emotional so cant imagine living through these beautiful moments and actually tying to be so present and grateful must be damn hard. Hope after these adventures you do have enough time to reflect and appreciate all of these moments even if its hard and work hard at the same time. You did great this year and no person under these comment section will doubt that next year you will be doing your absolute best no matter what.

I mean, come on. Couldn’t love this more. All of you so much. Matt’s giggles. Stefan’s pure heart. Thomas’s spirit. Derins just goodheartedness. I’ve been with y’all since just after project 30. And will be here always. 💛💛💛
Wow! That was a hell of an episode! These crazy adventures that you share on youtube are incredibly inspiring to travel and meet people from all over the world! Thank you so much for the last year, you really inspired me to do things that I wouldn't have done otherwise
Love these series!
I've know the real China for years but nobody's beliving me. Now i can just show them this video.
说实话，最近我看了很多西方媒体关于中国报道的假的非常离谱新闻，觉得很好笑。😂其实这样挺好的，对我们中国发展非常好。如果西方人都知道真实的中国，它们会惧怕会努力奋斗。但是现在不会了因为有了西方媒体假新闻。让西方人还活在梦里。我的祖国中国努力的发展。等西方人真正认识到落后差距太大时候想努力奋斗追赶中国也来不急了。所以目前阶段对我们中国也是个好事。西方媒体多报道假新闻吧😂
中国也需要一些聪明钱，带着更有效率的实体投资，提振中国整体投资效率。所以政府单方面选了几个国家免签。希望能有所收获。

I absolutely hated China and I unsubscribed to this channel. Everything is fabricated from title to the content.
@@xueshang1035 thanks for the advice! I'll look into those cities.
It can be pretty intimidating travelling to China if you don't speak Chinese. I found the language barrier was quite high (Translation apps are incredibly helpful but trying to navigate without one is an experience in itself!). But if you can past the initial panic of not being able to read, understand or communicate with most people first hand, it truly is a wonderful place to visit full of unique experiences, fascinating history and delicious food.
AMAZING VIDEO. Love that you show the world the amazing people and culture of China. I love this series a lot ❤
I always find myself smiling at the end of these videos. Thank you for the joy you bring to the world.
13:27-I love how Steffan gave new meaning to the experience and remained steadfast until it showed up! ❤
No other TH-cam channel has me grinning widely throughout the entire video. Love you guys
this series in China is immediately a fave! never knew how hospitable Chinese people are and how beautiful their cities can be. Staffan and Thomas getting kicked out of the car but was only 1km away from the train station was an absolute MIRACLE like my jaw dropped 😂
-- i've only discovered your channel this year and i must say i'm so damn grateful to stumble on your videos! kinda timely though ^^ i truly believe i found YesTheory at the right time as i've started to open my mind a lot more and develop new perspectives on life this year, as a graduating college student. thank you for helping me out this year :) i can't wait for what 2024 has in store!
As a Chinese, this is such a huge inspiration and so warm for yes theory to highlight the pure love that Chinese people hold. Thank you thank you thank you!! ❤
I am blown away that went so well. It's a shame Matt and Darin missed Suzhou though! It's a really beautiful city.
WOW. Never in a million years would I have thought that yes theory would film an episode or even travel to my city of residence Nanjing, China. Been watching you guys for 4 years now and I love you guys so much.
the guitar grandpa is so cool. I wanna be like that when I am old.
i really this china series. used to life in china for 5 years and it really makes me miss this country..
There could not have been a better series for Matt to wrap up his yes theory journey. Seeing all the kind strangers and the interactions was so wholesome. Thank you boys for allowing us to travel and meet people through your documentations!
Really loved this China series
very respectful kind and generous people.
I loved loved LOVED the China series. I love your channel. It makes me come back on TH-cam.
The sweetness, hospitality, and good nature of the people of China is so well displayed in this video!!!
Hey Thomas, I got really inspired by your guys mission and I just returned from China, where we went to places as for example a place that is considered to be the most dangerous hike in the world (HuaShan Mountain). We also completed the Plank walk and I did record some bits of it as well. Now that I’m processing all the experiences that happened, I really would love to talk with you for a couple of minutes…please reach out to me if you find some time in all the busy projects you’re working on. All the best and keep seeking the wildest discomforts
So many heartwarming and unexpected moments in this series. Another reminder that we are all the same. A people is not it’s government. And when you seek discomfort, amazing adventures lay ahead
I keep hearing this government nonsense. Do you ever wonder why China has developed so much under Chinese government? Why the people in China are so happy under their government?
The Chinese govt is awesome, just like its citizens. They're far better for its people than the so called liberal democracies. Y'all yanks have been brainwashed and you don't even know it..
i am chinese，i like goverment ，The Chinese government helps the Chinese people overcome poverty，The Uyghur issue is also a Western media smear campaign against China，real The Uyghur people receive a lot of preferential treatment in China. If you think I'm lying to you，well come to china
Dude. This was so beautiful man. I was smiling the whole way through. Now I definitely want to travel to China.
I am super glad you guys did a China series to show everyone worldwide that China is not such a bad country. I have been in China for nearly 11 years and it is one of the best Countries I have lived in. The people are super friendly. It was very entertaining watching you guys travel across China and have loads of fun fun fun!
