If you want more real insights like this from China, watch our important message video: bit.ly/3VSWDOE where we explain why we can only do street interviews in cities like Shanghai.
Shanghai is definitely more developed than 90% of the cities in mainland so I wonder if their media projection is different. e.g 4:32 ; whereas many of other state run media on Weibo-etc were taking the stance of Wolf Warriors though not to the extent it was back in 2020-2021 where it even push for the narrative that the Virus came form America etc. That IMO was the turning point in relationship to confrontational on the media landscape Between America/Beijing. Several of EU's position towards China turned after France and other outlet translated China's internal media in regards to Putin's military excuses and why its Nato/US/wEst's fault which doesn't align to the message Beijing was telling EU delegation. Went from - still friendly despite the pandemic to questioning and now doubting with very little sign of improving unless something major happens. In War (it be foolish to not acknowledge we had already entered cold war as decoupling continues unless one side either collapse or concedes) It's more often than not; its not who makes the first move or made the most effective moves that wins; but one that makes less mistake than the opponent that wins. In 4 of the major gamble (1 is the bet on Moscow); they had mostly backfired on mainland as a whole with very little merits to it and in fact had only made the situation worse like how Putin's invasion end up being the main reason for Sweden/Finland to join Nato.
Having worked in both China and the US, I can tell you that Chinese news media talks about the US SIGNIFICANTLY less frequently than the US talks about China. And it’s not just China either, the US has a major hall monitor complex. It’s the only country that seems to spend more time reporting on foreign issues than its domestic ones.
Having lived in China 15 years myself, you either don't understand Chinese or are a liar. There are at least some articles damning the US in every newspaper and on CCTV news all day long. What planet are you on?
I don't know what you are smoking. US media (apart from CNN, Washington Post and New York Times) seriously under-reports foreign affairs. Pick up a copy of say the ''Cincinnati Enquirer' and check out how much foreign news there is. Almost nothing......
I am in Florida (a Republican state) and our current view is we (US) is at war with China. Almost 99.99% of news about China is negative or very bad. There is alot of news about the military getting ready to fight China, etc. I am just surprised and impressed how calm and composed the young people in China are and can use their heads. I hope we can all live in peace!
This street interview was conducted in Shanghai, the most educated, open-minded city in China. If you do something similar in NYC, you would get similar answers.
This is a public opinion offensive that repeats itself every day and subtly penetrates into the hearts of the people. This way, once the US government intervenes in China through military means, it will not be as passive as it was during the Vietnam War. Think back to the atmosphere created by the media when George W. Bush was about to attack Iraq
After watching these interview videos, I'm proud of this generation of Chinese people. Many people say that Chinese people are easily brainwashed. Look at these people, this is what independent thinking is.
@@dfdf-rj8jr Are you trying to praise China? The last time I checked the United States did more harm to the rest of the world than it helped. Ruined the world economy a few times, messed up a couple of countries permanently. In terms of both government officials and it's citizens, the average American is dumb as a rock. You cope with that fact.
@@CharlieCharlie88 The USA has been declining for 250 years. Every year, you can find an article claiming the demise of the US is this year. Your country can't even take back an island on its front doorstep because of the US, and the US is declining? Get over yourself. On top of that, you're watching this on an American app. That's just sad and pathetic.
I'm American and lived in China for six years, ending in Oct. 2023, and I never had such frank and open convesations as were had here - I didn't want to put my students and colleagues in akward situations. I totally agree with the man condeming the trade wars - they are pointless and destructive. What Chinese people don't know, perhaps, is that Western media is very negative about the Chinese government. VERY NEGATIVE. And it's not just US media - read British or French or German media and it's just as bad.
I think most of them (if not all) share the same news source. It is not uncommon that when you search certain negative news about China, the top 5~6 results, from different news outlets, have exactly the same or similar titles. Someone (like Nathan Rich) finds out that sometimes they even seem to have the same scripts while reporting.
These random Chinese interviewees look well educated and have a balanced understanding of the outside world. Even the youngests are more open-minded and know the world much better than general US citizens and even politicians.
Topics like 100 genders are usually just common topics of conversation on forums, but we pay more attention to the US election simply because its debates and other parts are very interesting.
it is insane how much more articulated and informed the average chinese citizen is compared to the average western citizen, even the young ones are free-thinkers! Truly happy to be learning more from this country. Much love from Brazil! may we improve our economic and cultural relations more and more on the future.
To all of the wumaos in the comments... You want to know why China has a seat on the UN Security Council? Because the US lobbied for it. Churchill, De Gaulle, Stalin did not want to give China a seat, but one country recognized China's hardships at the hands of imperialists, and wanted to support China.
This is due to the fact that the news media in the U.S.A. is extremely insular - inwardly looking - and doesn't carry much news of the outside world, if any, unless they are big headline ones that are sensational. Other than that, they tend to focus on local news, sometimes to the exclusion of even outside their own state. I was in Houston, Chicago, Miami, Dallas and visited arkansas and Arizona - and was shocked that none of their newspapers carried any news outside the U.S. itself, as though the rest of the world doesn''t exist. Once in awhile, they would have news of the British Royal family or the French elections but nothing more. "Frogs living inside a well" is how I saw it, being an Australian tourist several times to the U.S., I found myself hungering for news outside the U.S. city I was in. access to the Internet gave me relief but I wonder just how little actual information of the outside world actually gets to ordinary Americans when even the nightly news on television is all about the U.S. with little to no international coverage at all? It is thus little wonder that Americans have this frozen image of not only China but many other countries as well, going back decades to the last time when they were exposed to those places. It is NOT a good look for any country, least of all, a nation that prides itself as being "Number 1" in the world.
Americans saying Chinese are brainwashed and don’t know anything is more ironic than ever, because it’s clearly them that are brainwashed and constantly fed lies and their media is more controlled and manipulated than I’ve ever seen 😂😂😂
The issue with the American government is that they like to keep the public divided. Trump versus Biden, Conservatives versus Liberals, Racial group versus Other racial group, America versus China, America versus various other countries, LGBTQ+ versus everyone else, Gen Z versus Boomers, etc. By keeping people divided through both mainstream and social media by encouraging "freedom of speech" online, we will fight among ourselves and forget that our leaders are actually supposed to have accountability. No accountability = no responsibility. Our corporations sponsor our politicians, who make the policies and laws that control every aspect of our lives. Most of our taxes do not get reinvested back into society. But the mainstream media doesn't focus on these real issues, it's filled with propaganda, and our social media is littered with influencers/ wannabe celebrities trying to sell us something--a lifestyle, sponsored product, sponsored service, etc. It's the "new age" of advertisement, which is great for the economy, but not so great for our attention spans. It keeps people distracted, though, which is great for the government. The "great divide" in America isn't between the Right and the Left, it's between the people ABOVE and the everyone else BELOW. But who really cares anyways? We can always point the finger in another direction, and take no accountability. Let's watch a Taylor Swift video next!

@@CCY17777 These people have to be government trolls. I refuse to believe the Chinese are actually this brainwashed. So far in the comments, I've seen "Americans are ignorant about other countries," and "Americans worry too much about other countries," each of them like 10 different times. Also "Chinese are so educated about the rest of the world" and "Chinese mind their own business." The stupidity is insane.
I have been too and lived in both countries....... I can tell you this ---- In Usa "everyone" talks about china and the news constantly has has articles badmouthing china daily. Everyone blames china for 1 thing or another. In China "nobody" talks about the usa. they all talk about getting rich and improving themselves. In Usa there is a serious crime problem and you do not feel safe on the streets. In China (cameras are everywhere) You feel safe on the streets even with your entire family. In short, people say the usa has freedom and china doesn't, but its a different story if you live and experience it !!!
Don't be nieve as China has its problems just like every other s*** hole on planet earth. Yes, America is a s*** hole as well. All mankind is worthless so why the hell do you care.
The reason for that is really simple. The US is just miles better than China that literally very little things in China match the moral standards of free world. Meanwhile more educated people in China are also aware of this difference and they know have nothing more to downplay the States.
@MarkMa1979 That, along with being entitled. It's an absolute hell hole right now i have heard. It's like West africa but worse, and I know what you mean. No one is safe there!! Gang wars on the streets daily. Chinese being kidnapped for random and extortion. Rival war lords fighting for supremacy. I heard rumors these factions they called the democratic and republican parties. Are always trying to sabatoge the other side & cut each other's throat. 🤔 So they use China to undercut the other side and take over power. How did you ever survive there with all the chaos and disorder? Must have been a terrible experience will the civil war within. Sorry your experience was so bad, but at least you're back in China where there is real democracy. Isn't America a Republic, though? Unfortunately, things are the same where I am from. Which despise China, although secretly, claim to be allies. It's all territorial mostly, but still, they foam at the mouth to see China replaced by themselves. We are such savages and don't value anything or anyone, China included. Hope your safe and happy as like America is destined for destruction. :/
I am very impressed with their balanced views and answers. They’re very well informed and articulated the answers well. I hope Asian Boss would interview Americans about their views of China. I can guarantee Americans would have a very biased and negative views of China and know nothing about China unlike the Chinese peoples knowledge of America.
They misunderstand the nature of the issue. Tweaking the recommendation algorithm can lead to a person eventually scrolling through endless socially harmful videos.

As an Aussie that has traveled to both the US and China for work previously I have to say I agree with many of their points. Obviously this doesn't apply to all cities in America but when I was in the states I encountered insane levels of homelessness and drug abuse. It was mind boggling to me. When I was in San Francisco the locals were telling me that people literally leave their cars unlocked so thieves won't smash their car windows. On the flip side, not once did I feel unsafe in China even walking around at 2 or 3 in the morning.
Asian and European countries on a whole are just more civilized when it comes to humanizing their population. Also these are all relatively small countries/populations. Its easier to keep things together and ppl work as a whole. America is trying to get there, but the amount of space and various diverse populations create issues. Add in wealth inequality and the fact that corporations get away with what they want for the most part due to $$$ in govt....vs other countries where the govt exists for the populace, in america the govt exists for corporations and $$$/self interest. When the current generation of political leaders expires from power the cultural cohesiveness will get better. The world as a whole is moving in this direction though. Barriers are breaking down.
You will find insane levels of homelessness in China too... Just not in the commercial districts of the richest cities... Because they all get exiled to the poor regions...
The level of calmness, and how they hold themself, for those that don't speak Chinese, they are amazing, from Old ppl to Young, to middle age... that's very hopeful for China as a nation.
The Gentleman with the long hair, glasses and goatee was very intelligent, informed and interesting to listen to. In general, it was quite uplifting to see how smart, informed and capable of critical thinking these Chinese citizens are. I think the world would be a better place if USA's citizens were this informed and open minded.
i used to study in UK, the first lession i was learned is being "Critical thinking"and now i.m living in Shanghai, just made me feeling so awkward for British double standard.
@@loremasteringwion9930 Your comment shows the exact opposite of 'critical thinking' if you assumed-without comparing your sources-that TH-cam was the freest of free platforms where everything is treated equally. No, it's not. It's full of double standards, shadow bans, and discrimination. Step outside your bubble and you'll understand what I mean.
@@yuezzzhang5820 Still far better than bilibili or any chinese social media platform where you are not allowed to say anything good about America or the West, and where anti-American and racist/xenophobic content is curated on a daily basis
The IQ score of the Chinese people inteviewed here, is clearly higher than in Europe where I live. They are also more eloquent and well informed. This does not bode well for us.
This isn't typical from my experience. At least a fifth of them people I've met in China think that the USA is an all -Caucasian country. Most don't even seen to be informed about things going on in the rest of the country, much less the rest of the world. "Beijing is our capital city. It's impossible there could be floods there." Over the past 20 years I've seen and heard it all. "Do they have watermelons (or insert random common fruit or vegetable) in your country?" is one of my favorites.
LOVE THIS! So nice to see regular people from China...and I think the people from both US and China have a lot in common. It is the governments, business interests and power brokers who are competing against each other, while us normal citizens just want to live and enjoy life.
Even the kids in this video are high-quality ones. Quite surprised that the Shanghainese seniors were so articulate and updated about the current trends. Really great interviews and the translation is on point.
This shows how sensible Chinese are.. Just do the same interview in the US and you will get to know how full of prejudice they are just on the basis of news source which they keep on taunting, daily.. Irony!!
Hi I've been to China on a teacher exchange programme. I would not say that this interview is not 100% random and no cherry picking. But the people I met during my trip were very similar to the interviewees. Intelligent, thoughtful, exhibited critical thinking and will look at different sources. Whether the teachers we met or the people we met during our tour. I believe there will always be exceptions like the elderly lady who was emotional about no freedom of speech. But by and large, the Chinese people are very rational.
Ironically, she was freely expressing her thought about no freedom of speech. This whole video was showing people freely expressing their thoughts. Here on TH-cam, my comments often gets blocked simply by having certain combination of words together.
Because Chinese people will start to learn Marx's dialectical materialism thinking mode from primary school, Chinese will always think from both positive and negative aspects when looking at problems. I wonder if there is such an education in America?
To all of the wumaos in the comments... You want to know why China has a seat on the UN Security Council? Because the US lobbied for it.

I'm glad he said it too...I don't want to pretend China is as bad or worse as America. America literally drops an average of 46 bombs a day for decades. Our government is run by the military industrial complex and they literally profit from wars and human suffering. Couple this with the neocon, zero-sum mindset, and beliefs of racial superiority, you have people that wake up every day looking to screw others over, including other Americans

Can you explain how China doesn’t put others down when it annexed Tibet, put Uighur Muslims in camps, bullies other countries in the South China Sea, and violates its deal with Hong Kong? How about when they ban people from the country just for acknowledging Taiwan is an independent nation or meeting with the Dalai Lama?
Also have to consider what they're not saying, which is not less disturbing and not that different, especially if you replace guns with knives and LGBT rights with labor rights.
@@shineluvslambiel Jokes on you cuz Canada doesn't need English, have you been to Brampton or Scarborough? Not everyone needs to speak English to live here😂😂
U$A is not a democracy it's a corporate autocracy ruled by the big corporates. Global interests are not about good will between people rather about where profits are to be made.
Maybe for USA, but that's only because USAs global interests are selfish and immoral and don't care about "the peoples goodwill". China is different, since its government has a specific people focused goal and it is a collective society and not selfish individual based/focused society or culture. And when I say "specific people focused goal" i mean improving the lives of the common people which also make up the majority and most important part of any country or civilization. Compare with USA or west which prioritizes the individual and even promotes an individual to be successful so he can take everything while others have nothing.. even if we don't care about morality or fairness, for Chinese we simply are such a system as inefficient and just means the country is wasting its most important assets. It's people. Better to have everyone with good education and decent living all united and working together for a common goal than one super billionaire buying everyone or ordering them all to work for a goal only the billionaire cares about, like making himself more money and giving himself more power, even at the expense of the people and country since he is individual minded and thinks that he deserves it because he won under USA capitalist winner takes all rules and where money and profit trumps everything else including loyalty, justice, righteousness, equality and fairness, etc etc. USA is fine with stuff like poverty because that is capitalism and they are the losers. Otherwise how can there be winners without losers? There can be no up without down, no ying without yang. USA has a very limited and harmful zero sum view of the world and countries/civilizations. That's why it doesn't know what to do vs China since china doesn't see or treat USA as an enemy that must be contained or destroyed, but a partner and opportunity which can benefit China greatly if they work together on common goals and interests(which china has done and has indeed benefited China immensely in the last 4 decades+). Serving the people is not just some empty motto like the police have "serve and protect" etc, but it is the one and only paramount law that can never be broken and is the single lone concept that the communist party and modern china itself was founded on. Aka it's called PRC, the PEOPLES Republic of China, as opposed to ROC(Taiwan) who was the previous corrupt government they overthrew in a people's war(civil war). Literally everything is done for the people and with the benefit of people's goodwill in mind. Society under such a government is characterized by making its main, core, ideological mission to protect the people from potentially harmful rising powers(like profit focused companies) since their own core values and ideologies are NOT focused on improving people's goodwill and if anything is all about exploiting people and the system in order to maximize profit and power. The gov must keep in check or even destroy them if that's what is required in order to succeed in continuing to "improve the peoples goodwill". The people also have to uphold their side of the social contract, which is they also must act and keep in check any government or leaders who do not keep up their side of the social contract and do not "improve the peoples goodwill", let alone directly hurting or exploiting and hurting the people for whatever reason which can never be justified or rank above "the goodwill of the people" This is similar to usas own checks and balances, and why they have guns, and why they have 3 branches of government and free press and so on and so forth. But imo in USA society under the current system, all its checks and balances have already failed, and the people really need to revolt and correct the system. For Chinese, that would basically be overthrowing the emperor and the end of a dynasty. Basically start things from scratch again since everything is so bad already that trying to correct and fix the existing system is the same as trying to fix a car that has been too badly damaged and should just be written off instead. Other examples of chinas gov keeping in check harmful forces and powers would be like the proposed Alibaba IPO which would have been the biggest and most profitable IPO in all of world history but the government ended up blocking it because in the long term and big picture they knew that it would only hurt the people and country, not improve it. Or at least overall it would clearly be a net negative since they do not do such things lightly. I mean Jack Ma is a party member himself and the government supported and backed Alibaba etc from the start but profit or companies or party members etc can never be put above the good of the people and country. In USA the politicians would be given shares in return for allowing the IPO to proceed even at their peoples and countries expense. But when you have no laws against politicians buying or owning or trading shares even while in government, anyone with half a brain like even that young kid in this video will know what the end result will be. Politicians enriching themselves through legalized corruption and the people and country suffering. Inequality growing. The peoples power and potential being wasted because one man monopolized all the resources and limited the opportunities for the people in order to grow his own wealth and power to an obscene level where it is already just stupid, like billionaires who have 500 billion or even 10 billion. At that point anything on top of that is just hoarding and hurting society and imo such a private individual or single person should never be able to be that wealthy or powerful. That is how cults of personality start and also where the government itself can be undermined by outside forces that are not working in the peoples interests and if anything are looking to remove laws which protect people and limit their profits like anti monopoly laws or drug or food regulation laws which help people but would mean that company loses tens of billions. Or in usas case, the military industrial complex which is not to defend the people or country, but is there to defend usas capitalist interests and the selfish interests of its most wealthy and privileged class. Ie the top 0.001%. China works for the 99.9%. USA works for the 0.01%. it's easy to see why chinese people rank china the highest on all democracy indexes including how important democracy is, compared to most Americans who don't even consider USA a democracy, but also who also don't consider democracy as important for their country. In the end enabling the people(aka the common man, not the billionaire people lol) and improving their health and lives is what democracy is all about. It isn't about some ideologist concepts like free speech or free press or elections, especially if those things only hurt the people and country in the long run. Like not censoring hate speech or lies and disinformation and allowing terrorist groups to recruit or spread their evil extremist violent ideology. So if USA can censor such things, then free speech in itself is not inherently good nor is it a basic human right or inherent part of democracy. The only inherent part of democracy is for the people by the people, and if censorship is for the people(they support censoring), and also for the good if the people, then censorship is a democratic act. Of course, bad or corrupt governments can abuse or exploit this, but that is why the people need to uphold their own end of the social contract and remind such corrupt evil governments of just why "the people" is the most defining and most valuable and most powerful asset in any society/civilization/democracy and why every government should serve them for not just the people or societies goodwill, but also for the government and leaders wellbeing and continued health existence itself. USA has never overthrown a powerful corrupt or inept gov to start from scratch, and then rise to the top over and over again. For china this is the norm and the default expectation. While Chinese will look forward and even fight for such drastic change, i don't think most Americans have the courage to not only fight such a fight, but they also do not have the courage to live in such a post revolution society after throwing the old power structure and system away completely. Can usa ever end capitalism and adopt Marxist communism? Can usa ever change from current election system and move to emperor or benevolent dictatorship model? Can USA admit even basic things like some things must be censored for the peoples good. I mean when usa cant even admit that many guns are bad for society and is the reason why there is so many mass shootings and gun violence, let alone pass any real meaningful common sense legislation which makes USA society safer, then yeah. I doubt they can do any of the more extreme stuff I suggested above. USA is not flexible or pragmatic enough. Not objective enough and too idealistic and putting blind ideology and the system itself above the peoples well-being and prosperity which is ultimately the reason why China is succeeding and why USA will decline or cease to exist as China's peer if it does not make the necessary reforms and end the corruption and inefficiencies(like focusing on individual mass wealth and wasting the power of the great masses combined working for a great common goal like ending poverty, becoming multiplanetary civilization, world peace and harmony, no more violence etc).
@@001sepwsp restricted? lol have you been smoking crack....? who would restrict or sensor this kind of content? If it was true, why CGTN is still present here on YT?
China has not forced political correctness on other countries, supported puppet regimes to overthrow the current government, or forcibly plundered other countries' resources by force. It has not launched wars against small countries for decades, let alone deployed hundreds of military bases in hundreds of countries around the world. Even a tiny country like the Philippines dares to provoke China. China knows that the result of war in modern society is that everyone loses, and it is better to talk than to do it. Of course, China also has its own bottom line, and will only take action if it can no longer tolerate it. If the earth is destroyed by another world war because of greedy humans, it is humans, not the earth, that will perish. There should be less intrigue between major powers, and they should not engage in hegemony. Only win-win cooperation can promote human development.
As for the freedom of speech, has everyone of you here ever experienced unexpected deletion or hidding of your comments on TH-cam? For example, when some MSM channels spread rumors about some non-english speaking countries and you post something to debunk them, there is a chance that you comments just disappear for no reason.
Yeah. That's happened to me on both TH-cam and on Chinese platforms, but when it comes to "freedom of speech", it's more about consequences. Saying too much of the "wrong thing" about the government on social media in China could result in many things from: having your account completely shut down, the police paying a visit to your house, or you just straight up being arrested. On the other hand you'd sooner have your TH-cam account suspended for being racist or being virulently anti-some minority group than you would for criticizing the government.
@@tc2334 What do you mean by "wrong thing" on Chinese platform?

There's some translation issues in some of these interviews, one example at 11:48 the person being interviewed said 所谓, which in English has the same meaning as "so-called". So what he's actually saying is "America's so-called freedom of speech", implying that speech is free in the US in name only.
China people are definitely the best Asians. I have read many Asian countries' views on western countries. Only China people have treated westerners equally, and they will not feel inferior or please. In addition, I found that almost all China people's thinking habits are critical thinking, even children! What an excellent education!
Compulsory education in China will cultivate students' dialectical thinking. When I was in the history class in junior high school, because of the simple thinking of children, we usually only look at problems from a positive or negative perspective. So every time the teacher reminds us to consider the two sides of things. I think it is in this kind of education that our thinking can be more independent.
The fact that these people are able to calmly give their honest and critical comparisons of US and China tells you all you need to know which country has more freedom of information and expression
Not China. Just because the US is bad does not mean that China is any better. China contributes to the sex trafficking of North Korean women and children, uses their ethnic minorities as slave labor, and has passed laws to forcibly assimilate ethnic minorities into Han Chinese culture (cultural genocide/ethnocide).
And Americans would say the chinese have no brains and can't think critically. Making generalisations about an entire country especially one with a much wider range of beliefs and positions than could ever be possible in China....Well Done and excellent critical thinking on your part.
Not the 'sheep', which some people perceived them to be, Instead they are knowledgeable and balanced! In fact. you can witness more 'sheep' in some modern fake democratic nations in Asia.
In China, you can't split the country, promote drugs, overthrow the ruling party, or scold the main leaders, but you can scold the government, including government policies, on social media, and if you are right, the government will adopt and improve.😂
"Right" at the sole judgment of Party censors. It can't violate the image of its core leadership as anything other than "great, glorious, and correct".

On one side you say the Chinese government controls the information, but then on the other side you say it's the Americans who live in an information cocoon? Is it not both? Do *most* Chinese people use VPNs to get daily news from other countries? I doubt it. In the same way, Americans watch their own news to get information about other countries. Both countries live in a vacuum, but to say "most Chinese have a correct view of history" is quite arrogant. Chinese culture and civilization is what has maintained, but in terms of governments, China can only maintain one for average of about 250-300 years. The People's Republic isn't even that old yet. Either way, I also hope for peace.
@@happybuddha33 It has nothing to do with government , if you have so much confusion how about learn some Chinese so you could understand more instead of accusing others.
China as a civilization will survive, but the autocratic state and government though is still subject to massively violent transitions as had befallen practically every dynasty and the one Republic before it.
I am a Chinese citizen, because of the hostility of the United States towards China, I am quite supportive of China's current measures to control public opinion. The trumpets of the world are in the hands of the West, it is easy for them to manipulate public opinion and cause chaos in the internal affairs of other countries. I believe that freedom is a lower priority than stable development.
And this restriction has protected the Chinese market from being dominated by American IT companies, so China has many large Internet companies. Looking at various corporate rankings, in addition to American Internet companies, the largest is Chinese Internet companies. Most of the countries in this world are falling behind in the Internet space because they are occupied by American Internet companies. This has not only caused economic damage, but also led to the backwardness of related Internet technology, in which, again, only China can match the United States.
All in all proper interview and all had answers were backed up with logic and reason. Some take aways based on the street interviews: 1. China doesn't do anti-US propaganda feeding their citizens negative and or fake news. 2. Chinese are very mature in their way thinking and their way of expressing their thoughts, even kids are saying things that western adults can learn from. 3. They very well understand ultimate freedom of act and speech has certain level of restriction in any part of the world. 4. In general Chinese don't preach/spread hate. 5. All interviewed people had their own perspective and view on the topic about Tiktok vs Douyin, and the most funny part was: in the US young people watch nonsense/dum stuff and in China educational stuff 🤣😂 Last but not least perhaps not all citizens know that western social tech companies like Meta, Google, Snap, X didn't choose to settle in China due to gov. rules requiring them to not send data and store in the US or outside of China. Same like Tik tok in the US all servers and data must be stored locally, which Tiktok/Bytedance did and follow. Apple for example did follow rules in China and there for example Apple Maps works fine.
When we use TikTok, we just want to kill time. No one will try to learn anything educational on TikTok. There are better and more professional websites and paper books for this purpose.
You are absolutely right, the ones who really dislike US are often the ones who go off the GFW to visit google, x etc. ... when they see ridiculous media report and comments about their own lives ...
A small correction: Honestly, China's official media reports on the US are somewhat negative (but not as exaggerated as Western media reports on China). But we have many other channels to obtain information besides official media, and many people, especially those who have received some education, have the habit of seeking verification, so they are not easily deceived by the media.
@@galahadray Peacefulness is the absence of war. China has fought no wars in the last 45 years since 1979. The USA has fought numerous wars, more recently Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Yemen. It is the most bellicose and militant nation in modern history.
As an American, this is why Asian Boss is the only news I actually seek out anymore. I could never see a respectful, thoughtful interview of regular Chinese citizens through any main stream media here. And ai have to say, I agree with much of what they say. The commercialization of the news media in the US is a form of information control and censorship. Very interesting. Not a fan of the casual racism and homophobia at the beginning, but I dont want to pass judgement on people who lwere born and raised in a conservative and homogenous society.
As a starting rule of thumb I'm more inclined to look at non domestic sources when looking at what's being reported about any given country. That's not to say what they'd say is more or less true but it wouldn't be a big stretch to think that non domestic media are less invested when reporting about another country. And here's a word from our sponsor Ground News
I looked at the comments section, and I think it would be great if most people in the world had similar ideas to the comments section here. In my opinion, there are obvious development differences between Eastern and Western civilizations. Western civilization was largely developed based on pirate civilization, so their idea is that once they become strong, they will plunder. Western civilization is also an extroverted civilization, so Westerners don't like to be restricted, which is the origin of the so-called freedom. The rise of Eastern civilization, especially Chinese civilization, is basically based on agricultural civilization, so the Chinese idea is to grow their own fields well, get a good harvest, be self-sufficient, and live a good life. So Eastern civilization has become an introverted civilization. They only need to take care of themselves and don't care much about what happens outside. So, in their view, the so-called freedom in the West has little to do with them. So, in essence, the focus of these two issues is different. Then why is the so-called freedom now so important? This is because the West has controlled the world for one or two hundred years, and they have spread their way of thinking to the world, which has become the so-called universal value. However, due to the influence of civilization, China has never been changed by this Western value system. So, when China becomes strong, these two values will collide. Since Western governments consider China with Western values, they think that China cannot become strong for their own benefit, so they use their widely spread Western values to criticize China, which has led to misunderstandings of China among people in many countries over the past few decades. One of the main reasons why China has not been conquered by Western values is that how can a civilization with thousands of years of history be simply overthrown by a civilization with only a few hundred years of history?
You can say anything you want in China as long as it's not against the government, simple as that. Your not going to get arrested for having your own opinions or calling out someone who has done something stupid. It's not restrictive as how the western media says it is.
Chinese government has regulations on what content is preferred for children on social media. As a result, social media works according to related laws or regulations. In the USA, they, politicians, think tanks, NGOS, etc. shouted out to everyone in the world that they have freedom of speech, they don’t want censorship, they don’t control what people can see and can’t see. They don’t want to make a law or regulation to restrict the social media, which will show their hypocrisy. They want the social media company to censor, restrict, push certain contents to certain group of people.
Well sushi was originally invented by China , Japanese used to be vegetarian , according to historical records, over 1800 years ago (specifically towards the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty), sushi was already being enjoyed in China, and it wasn't until around the year 700 AD that sushi began to be introduced into Japan.
@@KK-kh7pyI remember my dad saying sushi isn’t even originally theirs and it’s random, i think he never learnt it because it’s really different, but i think like every Japanese food that Japanese eat is literally originally made in china
@@vincentxu4709This is false. What the Norwegian sold to Japan was salmon because their fish was clean from parasites. Japanese originally only ate tuna raw, but avoided their salmon because it was filled with worms, unlike the Norwegian salmon.
China is the best country for me and Chinese people are very friendly ❤I have been in Asia and got around about six countries in Asia the last stop is China 🇨🇳 everything looks good 👍 people look happy, I seen old people dancing in the park me and my friend walks around town to the night time and walks back to hotel one o’clock in the morning it’s very safe .this is first time in my life I can walked around everywhere all day all night without screaming thanks 🙏 China and Chinese peoples for makes my eyes opened
I'm especially impressed how fresh the older people were in the video. ...and that they found so many people who were happy to talk about free speech and stuff. When I was in China, all we talked about was food. Which I don't mind, I like food talk.😂 But it would have been more interesting to talk about more abstract concepts.
That one man said kids are stressed out, well for good reason. Education is key to having a better country. Everyone in this video showed intelligence. That's what you get for having a well educated society.
@@user-原創音樂 i lack nuanced understanding of your opinionated stance regarding our so-called "happy" educational system, so take this message as more of an informative rant rather than an argument. the root of the issue with drugs and homelessness is largley, arguable entirely, due to government incompetence and corruption. people dont willingly become homeless or addicts, most often the circumstances of ones birth largley dictates their list of future oppurtunities. no matter the political party, conservative or democrat, its all about "strengthening the middle class" (though conservatives love protecting their upper class), only rarely do you get a public speaker who advocates for the protection and help of the struggling lower class, and even rarer does one get elected into a position of power. as someone whos parents were raised in an upper-middle environment, was personally raised middle class, and now lives as low class due to circumstances entirely outside of my control, the government simply makes living difficult, nearly outright impossible for us. low income creates so much stress that people turn to alchoholism or drugs to relieve it. the government refuses to control these issues, if not outright ignore them, because it keeps people easy to manipulate. the american public is an extremely volatile entity, its a controlled chaos. it is controlled by our lack of education, which is due to our governments obsession with puffing up its feathers, allocating trillions of dollars towards their military service rather than making the american people more respectable, educated, and beneficial to the world as a whole. its a nation fueled by greed and civil violence. a continuous struggle for power.
Doesn't that mean that the China government and the China media didn't smear the United States on a large scale? Do you think it is difficult for the China government to make most Chinese people hate the US if they want to do it? I think Chinese government's policy on reporting the US is wise, because hatred caused by lies and brainwashing like the US government launched towards China will eventually bite itself.
The most propaganda about US in China over the past few decades has been positive.😂.Since US government is worried that China is growing too fast, which has led to the current situation.

I can attest that the views portrayed by those interviewed, are accurate, as these opinions reflect those of my family and friends in China. Thank you for a real video.
Thank you so much for videos like these. Recently my family has began to receive our news from non-western sources to broaden our own perspective on what is going on the world. Channels like yours help us understand other countries from a citizen’s POV while also understanding how they view the U.S.
I actually genuinely cannot express how genuinely criminaly underated this video and channel actually is and this is actually the actual real China that the actual American and British BBC propaganda mainstream media actually don't show you is actually really like and actually capable of actually doing.
Those that have not lived in the US tend to view it positively due to extensive cultural dominance. You have to be there for years yourself to see how bad it really is
I ended up living in the us for 9 years and my sisters friend back in Taiwan is always telling me how lucky I am and what not, until I start listing the things that are negative about the US that don’t reach mainstream. There’s always a different side to everything that you will not know about, but when you do it hits you like a truck.
The US is disappointing when you're expecting harmony and efficiency just with more money, but it's a relief when you're seeking the freedom the express and experiment. America didn't get rich and popular by doing the old ways better, but by constantly inventing new ways altogether.
2:50 The uncle with a cap is definitely telling the truth when he used the word “admire”. For generations born before 1990s, US is truly an admirable country.
Generally when people are starved, un-housed, sick, and in massive debt, they tend lash out and want to blame someone (anyone) for their troubles. In the case of USA, in the 80s it was Japan, in the 90s and 2000s it was the Middle East, and in the 2020s it's China. Western countries (particularly USA) have unhappy and debt-ridden citizens, and so national and local news cycles focus on bringing down their geopolitical neighbours rather than fix things at home. On the other hand, much of the Chinese population (to the tune of 800+ million) have been lifted out of severe poverty. Healthcare, housing, transportation, and general infrastructure has improved for most of it's citizens. And while there are many young people facing employment challenges, we don't see the same level of poverty and desperation (especially for housing and healthcare) as in many Western countries. Chinese people are generally happy and content with their country, and so their news cycle focuses on the merits of their country.
Ecuador on Tuesday announced the suspension of an agreement with China that had waived visas for Chinese citizens traveling to the South American country, citing a “worrying” increase in irregular migration. Ecuador's Foreign Ministry said in a statement that the suspension of the bilateral agreement is temporary and would start on July 1. It added that the measure was taken after authorities saw that around 50% of Chinese nationals entering Ecuador didn't leave the country “through regular routes” nor within the permitted 90 days they were allowed to stay under the waiver agreement. The development would effectively mean that Ecuador was reinstating visas for Chinese citizens, but the Foreign Ministry did not provide any details. Since 2023, people from China are among the top nationalities of migrants reaching the United States. Ecuador, one of the only two mainland countries in the Americas that offer visa-free entry to Chinese nationals, has become a popular starting point for Chinese migrants who would then trek northward through Central America before entering the United States. The other country is the Republic of Suriname. The Washington-based think tank Niskanen Center, citing official data by the Ecuadorian government, said that Chinese nationals entered Ecuador 48,381 times in 2023 but only left 24,240 times. The difference of 24,141 was the highest of any nationality, according to Niskanen. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said at a daily briefing on Tuesday that Beijing “firmly opposes all forms of human smuggling” and that the country’s law enforcement has been “tough on all kinds of human smuggling groups and individuals engaged in illegal immigration.” China also has been working with other countries to “jointly tackle human smuggling activities, repatriate illegal immigrants and maintain a good order in cross-border travel,” Lin said. Lin said the mutual visa exemption agreement between China and Ecuador first came into effect in 2016. As bilateral relations are stabilizing, Beijing has resumed cooperation with Washington to repatriate Chinese nationals who are in the United States illegally. The number of Chinese immigrants entering the United States rose drastically last year, when U.S. border officials arrested more than 37,000 Chinese nationals on the southern border, 10 times the number during the previous year. The monthly tally fell in the first three months of this year, but it rose to 3,282 arrests in April. Former President Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, has suggested that the Chinese migrants, mostly men, could be building an army on the U.S. soil. The Chinese migrants and their advocates have rejected Trump’s claims, saying they have left China for better economic prospects and a freer society after the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic.
because this is what we Chinese usually discuss daily on the internet, we know the good and bad of US, most time objective people's comment will gain many thumb up.
If only they had the dudes who I saw publicly spitting, pissing in the streets (sober too) and taking a dump in a public park that I saw daily when I lived there. Somehow these people not available for comment 🤣
Idk. As an American living in NYC I really feel the sentiment from the average American would be very similar. We have so many Chinese Americans, Chinese food and culture are ingrained in our country in many ways. People are very open minded and empathetic. It’s the government that pushes negative rhetoric, not the average person.
All nations practice censorship to varying degrees. No country provides total freedom of expression. Censorship in China is no worse than in the United States. The two countries, however, have different sets of sensitive topics. The average Chinese is more knowledgeable about America than the average American is knowledgeable about China. Americans are actually quite ignorant about China. I see all this from the perspective of a Canadian who has visited China many times.
This is the kind of thing needed to help increase understanding across cultures. The interviewees are mostly well spoken and informed. If China is so closed off, then why do they know more about the US than those in the US know about China? Shanghai is safer than Philadelphia?? Shanghai has a population of 26 million, Philadelphia 1.5 million. Let that soak in. Is America really the superior country it claims to be??
To the dude with the long hair, after watching this video and seeing that the Chinese are nice, normal, grounded people, regarding your comment, "hope for an enduring friendship with no need for conflict" the sentiment is mutual 👍
That kid at the end saying the US is not peaceful won the interview! That kid is my vibe where has trying to be patient but can't hold it in, the US sucks.
He is brilliant, he said the most wise words of all the interview. The journalist who interview them should had made him to say more. Go deeper. US create wars to make profit, it is so evil.
The US is in a total mess now, financially, economically, morally, physically, and spiritually. The US now is not what it used to be. People are angrier, more depraved and degenerate with wokeism and the whole transgender ideology mindset, and a lack of respect for elders. If there was one thing I can say to the Chinese people, it is this. Do not succumb to the depravity of American society.
We hope that the Chinese truly appreciate their country, values, infrastructure, stability, safety & so much more, all of which is missing in the USA in the name of freedom & democracy. The grass is always green on the other side - unfortunately the grass has turned brown & black in the USA.
It is because of modern history, for Chinese the recent 200 years is all about shame and pain, so as westerns believe ccp is evil, Chinese public saw ccp's contribution.
At this moment.I'm just using the TH-cam to watch this Video in China，So i mean, if you want to see something from the outside, you You can always find a way.
As a Black American living in Japan where I come in frequent contact with people from China we all have a lot in common despite our different backgrounds. People here are just as intelligent as the next person. I despise the way the two governments approach each other. China should be one of our major allies. The skepticism in the US is a bit immature and paranoid.
Skepticism? You realize ANY country would be viewed the same as China if they were about to overthrow the US as the global superpower. Are you kidding?
The US and China used to be allies during World War II. A prime example is The Flying Tigers during the war. When Mao took over China in the communist revolution, that's when things changed as we treated any type of communism as enemies. Ironically today, America has communists roaming around in our streets, and nobody does a thing. I do agree that if China was an ally to the US, America would be even more powerful than what it is now with mutual cooperation. Enjoy your time in Japan, a very fascinating country.
@@thefirstgenesis4280 Those Chinese interviewed were educated by the communist party which didn't teach them to hate America/American, like our government/media taught Americans to hate China.
Beautiful video! I think the key thing to pull from this video is that the people of our countries want to live in peace. Whilst the governments of the people will always have disagreements and try to impose ideologies through propaganda. Common sense and formulating your own opinions is very important in our modern age 👌🏼🇺🇸🇨🇳
in a way i agree with you,how many times has the Chinese president call American president names? But yes you will hear that a lot from USA.I don't know if they do that to tickle themselves and laugh about it
13:12 That random old lady from the side suddenly chiming in “there’s no freedom of speech” haha that was random but shows the unexpected nature of street interviews
That lady is so ignorant or being brain washed,China has come a long way from a very poor and no freedom country to the present most admired prospering and freedom country due to the quality of their leadership. There is almost no drug abused,no homeless people,almost no robber and very safe country. Their electric car and their 5G network is no1 in the world and no country can take this achievement away. Unlike Japan,Korea,Taiwan or other countries where their achievement can be easily taken away by another country.
As someone from the U.S, my impression of China is mostly positive. I love a lot of the culture. I love Douyin make-up(even though I suck at it lol) and hanfu looks gorgeous. As a history buff, I find Chinese history very fascinating. I love learning about how life was in the forbidden city through the various dynasties, for example. I love Chinese literature, like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Water Margin. Chinese food, especially the Beijing cuisine I tried, is delicious. And I recently tried the Sword and Fairy games and really like 7! Obviously, it's not all sunshine and rainbows in China. Just like it isn't in the U.S. and the Chinese government is a different issue altogether, but most country's government sucks including the U.S's. Overall, I send Chinese peeps nothing but love ❤️.
If you want more real insights like this from China, watch our important message video: bit.ly/3VSWDOE where we explain why we can only do street interviews in cities like Shanghai.
Shanghai is definitely more developed than 90% of the cities in mainland so I wonder if their media projection is different.
e.g 4:32 ; whereas many of other state run media on Weibo-etc were taking the stance of Wolf Warriors though not to the extent it was back in 2020-2021 where it even push for the narrative that the Virus came form America etc. That IMO was the turning point in relationship to confrontational on the media landscape Between America/Beijing. Several of EU's position towards China turned after France and other outlet translated China's internal media in regards to Putin's military excuses and why its Nato/US/wEst's fault which doesn't align to the message Beijing was telling EU delegation. Went from - still friendly despite the pandemic to questioning and now doubting with very little sign of improving unless something major happens.
In War (it be foolish to not acknowledge we had already entered cold war as decoupling continues unless one side either collapse or concedes)
It's more often than not; its not who makes the first move or made the most effective moves that wins; but one that makes less mistake than the opponent that wins.
In 4 of the major gamble (1 is the bet on Moscow); they had mostly backfired on mainland as a whole with very little merits to it and in fact had only made the situation worse like how Putin's invasion end up being the main reason for Sweden/Finland to join Nato.
Good job on improving the Chinese/English translation. There are still a few mistakes but it is much better than before.
I think it's really awesome you included kids in the interview!
thanks for sharing this video .. cheers
Steven from Asian Boss decided the future of this channel when he received funding from CCP China.

And it’s not just China either, the US has a major hall monitor complex. It’s the only country that seems to spend more time reporting on foreign issues than its domestic ones.

I hope we can all live in peace!
Our history and politics textbooks always say "competition and cooperation", Sino US relations should never be the competition of the Cold War era.
This street interview was conducted in Shanghai, the most educated, open-minded city in China. If you do something similar in NYC, you would get similar answers.
west media always say the bad things about cn. but i still believe that Check them before Believe them😂
This is a public opinion offensive that repeats itself every day and subtly penetrates into the hearts of the people. This way, once the US government intervenes in China through military means, it will not be as passive as it was during the Vietnam War. Think back to the atmosphere created by the media when George W. Bush was about to attack Iraq
Why not interview people in other cities like Guizhou,Lasha? That's cool.
After watching these interview videos, I'm proud of this generation of Chinese people. Many people say that Chinese people are easily brainwashed. Look at these people, this is what independent thinking is.

I think most of them (if not all) share the same news source. It is not uncommon that when you search certain negative news about China, the top 5~6 results, from different news outlets, have exactly the same or similar titles. Someone (like Nathan Rich) finds out that sometimes they even seem to have the same scripts while reporting.
These random Chinese interviewees look well educated and have a balanced understanding of the outside world. Even the youngests are more open-minded and know the world much better than general US citizens and even politicians.

I'm amazed how informed the people in China are, vs the American probably still thinking the Chinese in their 60s 70s.
This is due to the fact that the news media in the U.S.A. is extremely insular - inwardly looking - and doesn't carry much news of the outside world, if any, unless they are big headline ones that are sensational. Other than that, they tend to focus on local news, sometimes to the exclusion of even outside their own state. I was in Houston, Chicago, Miami, Dallas and visited arkansas and Arizona - and was shocked that none of their newspapers carried any news outside the U.S. itself, as though the rest of the world doesn''t exist. Once in awhile, they would have news of the British Royal family or the French elections but nothing more.
"Frogs living inside a well" is how I saw it, being an Australian tourist several times to the U.S., I found myself hungering for news outside the U.S. city I was in. access to the Internet gave me relief but I wonder just how little actual information of the outside world actually gets to ordinary Americans when even the nightly news on television is all about the U.S. with little to no international coverage at all? It is thus little wonder that Americans have this frozen image of not only China but many other countries as well, going back decades to the last time when they were exposed to those places. It is NOT a good look for any country, least of all, a nation that prides itself as being "Number 1" in the world.
Americans saying Chinese are brainwashed and don’t know anything is more ironic than ever, because it’s clearly them that are brainwashed and constantly fed lies and their media is more controlled and manipulated than I’ve ever seen 😂😂😂

The issue with the American government is that they like to keep the public divided.
Trump versus Biden, Conservatives versus Liberals, Racial group versus Other racial group, America versus China, America versus various other countries, LGBTQ+ versus everyone else, Gen Z versus Boomers, etc.
By keeping people divided through both mainstream and social media by encouraging "freedom of speech" online, we will fight among ourselves and forget that our leaders are actually supposed to have accountability. No accountability = no responsibility.
Our corporations sponsor our politicians, who make the policies and laws that control every aspect of our lives. Most of our taxes do not get reinvested back into society.
But the mainstream media doesn't focus on these real issues, it's filled with propaganda, and our social media is littered with influencers/ wannabe celebrities trying to sell us something--a lifestyle, sponsored product, sponsored service, etc. It's the "new age" of advertisement, which is great for the economy, but not so great for our attention spans. It keeps people distracted, though, which is great for the government.
The "great divide" in America isn't between the Right and the Left, it's between the people ABOVE and the everyone else BELOW.
But who really cares anyways? We can always point the finger in another direction, and take no accountability. Let's watch a Taylor Swift video next!

So far in the comments, I've seen "Americans are ignorant about other countries," and "Americans worry too much about other countries," each of them like 10 different times. Also "Chinese are so educated about the rest of the world" and "Chinese mind their own business."
The stupidity is insane.
I have been too and lived in both countries.......
I can tell you this ----
In Usa "everyone" talks about china and the news constantly has has articles badmouthing china daily. Everyone blames china for 1 thing or another.
In China "nobody" talks about the usa. they all talk about getting rich and improving themselves.
In Usa there is a serious crime problem and you do not feel safe on the streets.
In China (cameras are everywhere) You feel safe on the streets even with your entire family.
In short, people say the usa has freedom and china doesn't, but its a different story if you live and experience it !!!
Don't be nieve as China has its problems just like every other s*** hole on planet earth. Yes, America is a s*** hole as well. All mankind is worthless so why the hell do you care.
The reason for that is really simple. The US is just miles better than China that literally very little things in China match the moral standards of free world. Meanwhile more educated people in China are also aware of this difference and they know have nothing more to downplay the States.
I have lived in both countries and all they talk about in the US in China. It's pathetic. They are deeply insecure.

I heard rumors these factions they called the democratic and republican parties. Are always trying to sabatoge the other side & cut each other's throat. 🤔
So they use China to undercut the other side and take over power. How did you ever survive there with all the chaos and disorder? Must have been a terrible experience will the civil war within.

As an Aussie that has traveled to both the US and China for work previously I have to say I agree with many of their points. Obviously this doesn't apply to all cities in America but when I was in the states I encountered insane levels of homelessness and drug abuse. It was mind boggling to me. When I was in San Francisco the locals were telling me that people literally leave their cars unlocked so thieves won't smash their car windows. On the flip side, not once did I feel unsafe in China even walking around at 2 or 3 in the morning.
Asian and European countries on a whole are just more civilized when it comes to humanizing their population. Also these are all relatively small countries/populations. Its easier to keep things together and ppl work as a whole. America is trying to get there, but the amount of space and various diverse populations create issues. Add in wealth inequality and the fact that corporations get away with what they want for the most part due to $$$ in govt....vs other countries where the govt exists for the populace, in america the govt exists for corporations and $$$/self interest. When the current generation of political leaders expires from power the cultural cohesiveness will get better. The world as a whole is moving in this direction though. Barriers are breaking down.

But the people I met during my trip were very similar to the interviewees. Intelligent, thoughtful, exhibited critical thinking and will look at different sources. Whether the teachers we met or the people we met during our tour. I believe there will always be exceptions like the elderly lady who was emotional about no freedom of speech. But by and large, the Chinese people are very rational.

U$A is not a democracy it's a corporate autocracy ruled by the big corporates.
Global interests are not about good will between people rather about where profits are to be made.
You are a wise man.
Maybe for USA, but that's only because USAs global interests are selfish and immoral and don't care about "the peoples goodwill".
China is different, since its government has a specific people focused goal and it is a collective society and not selfish individual based/focused society or culture.
And when I say "specific people focused goal" i mean improving the lives of the common people which also make up the majority and most important part of any country or civilization. Compare with USA or west which prioritizes the individual and even promotes an individual to be successful so he can take everything while others have nothing.. even if we don't care about morality or fairness, for Chinese we simply are such a system as inefficient and just means the country is wasting its most important assets. It's people. Better to have everyone with good education and decent living all united and working together for a common goal than one super billionaire buying everyone or ordering them all to work for a goal only the billionaire cares about, like making himself more money and giving himself more power, even at the expense of the people and country since he is individual minded and thinks that he deserves it because he won under USA capitalist winner takes all rules and where money and profit trumps everything else including loyalty, justice, righteousness, equality and fairness, etc etc.
USA is fine with stuff like poverty because that is capitalism and they are the losers. Otherwise how can there be winners without losers? There can be no up without down, no ying without yang. USA has a very limited and harmful zero sum view of the world and countries/civilizations. That's why it doesn't know what to do vs China since china doesn't see or treat USA as an enemy that must be contained or destroyed, but a partner and opportunity which can benefit China greatly if they work together on common goals and interests(which china has done and has indeed benefited China immensely in the last 4 decades+).
Serving the people is not just some empty motto like the police have "serve and protect" etc, but it is the one and only paramount law that can never be broken and is the single lone concept that the communist party and modern china itself was founded on. Aka it's called PRC, the PEOPLES Republic of China, as opposed to ROC(Taiwan) who was the previous corrupt government they overthrew in a people's war(civil war). Literally everything is done for the people and with the benefit of people's goodwill in mind.
Society under such a government is characterized by making its main, core, ideological mission to protect the people from potentially harmful rising powers(like profit focused companies) since their own core values and ideologies are NOT focused on improving people's goodwill and if anything is all about exploiting people and the system in order to maximize profit and power. The gov must keep in check or even destroy them if that's what is required in order to succeed in continuing to "improve the peoples goodwill".
The people also have to uphold their side of the social contract, which is they also must act and keep in check any government or leaders who do not keep up their side of the social contract and do not "improve the peoples goodwill", let alone directly hurting or exploiting and hurting the people for whatever reason which can never be justified or rank above "the goodwill of the people"
This is similar to usas own checks and balances, and why they have guns, and why they have 3 branches of government and free press and so on and so forth. But imo in USA society under the current system, all its checks and balances have already failed, and the people really need to revolt and correct the system. For Chinese, that would basically be overthrowing the emperor and the end of a dynasty. Basically start things from scratch again since everything is so bad already that trying to correct and fix the existing system is the same as trying to fix a car that has been too badly damaged and should just be written off instead.
Other examples of chinas gov keeping in check harmful forces and powers would be like the proposed Alibaba IPO which would have been the biggest and most profitable IPO in all of world history but the government ended up blocking it because in the long term and big picture they knew that it would only hurt the people and country, not improve it. Or at least overall it would clearly be a net negative since they do not do such things lightly. I mean Jack Ma is a party member himself and the government supported and backed Alibaba etc from the start but profit or companies or party members etc can never be put above the good of the people and country.
In USA the politicians would be given shares in return for allowing the IPO to proceed even at their peoples and countries expense. But when you have no laws against politicians buying or owning or trading shares even while in government, anyone with half a brain like even that young kid in this video will know what the end result will be. Politicians enriching themselves through legalized corruption and the people and country suffering. Inequality growing. The peoples power and potential being wasted because one man monopolized all the resources and limited the opportunities for the people in order to grow his own wealth and power to an obscene level where it is already just stupid, like billionaires who have 500 billion or even 10 billion. At that point anything on top of that is just hoarding and hurting society and imo such a private individual or single person should never be able to be that wealthy or powerful.
That is how cults of personality start and also where the government itself can be undermined by outside forces that are not working in the peoples interests and if anything are looking to remove laws which protect people and limit their profits like anti monopoly laws or drug or food regulation laws which help people but would mean that company loses tens of billions. Or in usas case, the military industrial complex which is not to defend the people or country, but is there to defend usas capitalist interests and the selfish interests of its most wealthy and privileged class. Ie the top 0.001%.
China works for the 99.9%. USA works for the 0.01%. it's easy to see why chinese people rank china the highest on all democracy indexes including how important democracy is, compared to most Americans who don't even consider USA a democracy, but also who also don't consider democracy as important for their country.
In the end enabling the people(aka the common man, not the billionaire people lol) and improving their health and lives is what democracy is all about. It isn't about some ideologist concepts like free speech or free press or elections, especially if those things only hurt the people and country in the long run. Like not censoring hate speech or lies and disinformation and allowing terrorist groups to recruit or spread their evil extremist violent ideology.
So if USA can censor such things, then free speech in itself is not inherently good nor is it a basic human right or inherent part of democracy. The only inherent part of democracy is for the people by the people, and if censorship is for the people(they support censoring), and also for the good if the people, then censorship is a democratic act.
Of course, bad or corrupt governments can abuse or exploit this, but that is why the people need to uphold their own end of the social contract and remind such corrupt evil governments of just why "the people" is the most defining and most valuable and most powerful asset in any society/civilization/democracy and why every government should serve them for not just the people or societies goodwill, but also for the government and leaders wellbeing and continued health existence itself.
USA has never overthrown a powerful corrupt or inept gov to start from scratch, and then rise to the top over and over again. For china this is the norm and the default expectation. While Chinese will look forward and even fight for such drastic change, i don't think most Americans have the courage to not only fight such a fight, but they also do not have the courage to live in such a post revolution society after throwing the old power structure and system away completely.
Can usa ever end capitalism and adopt Marxist communism? Can usa ever change from current election system and move to emperor or benevolent dictatorship model? Can USA admit even basic things like some things must be censored for the peoples good.
I mean when usa cant even admit that many guns are bad for society and is the reason why there is so many mass shootings and gun violence, let alone pass any real meaningful common sense legislation which makes USA society safer, then yeah. I doubt they can do any of the more extreme stuff I suggested above. USA is not flexible or pragmatic enough. Not objective enough and too idealistic and putting blind ideology and the system itself above the peoples well-being and prosperity which is ultimately the reason why China is succeeding and why USA will decline or cease to exist as China's peer if it does not make the necessary reforms and end the corruption and inefficiencies(like focusing on individual mass wealth and wasting the power of the great masses combined working for a great common goal like ending poverty, becoming multiplanetary civilization, world peace and harmony, no more violence etc).

China has not forced political correctness on other countries, supported puppet regimes to overthrow the current government, or forcibly plundered other countries' resources by force. It has not launched wars against small countries for decades, let alone deployed hundreds of military bases in hundreds of countries around the world. Even a tiny country like the Philippines dares to provoke China. China knows that the result of war in modern society is that everyone loses, and it is better to talk than to do it. Of course, China also has its own bottom line, and will only take action if it can no longer tolerate it. If the earth is destroyed by another world war because of greedy humans, it is humans, not the earth, that will perish.

Saying too much of the "wrong thing" about the government on social media in China could result in many things from: having your account completely shut down, the police paying a visit to your house, or you just straight up being arrested.
On the other hand you'd sooner have your TH-cam account suspended for being racist or being virulently anti-some minority group than you would for criticizing the government.
@@tc2334 What do you mean by "wrong thing" on Chinese platform? It is totally fine if you post something like "Xi is stupid and he looks like winnie the pooh" or ”I don't agree with the current economic policy“, but they have zero tolerance with something such as "People, let us overthrow this government" or "Xi sent assassin to murder XYZ, trust me I saw it" (you might get arrested for saying so) .

There's some translation issues in some of these interviews, one example at 11:48 the person being interviewed said 所谓, which in English has the same meaning as "so-called".
So what he's actually saying is "America's so-called freedom of speech", implying that speech is free in the US in name only.

China people are definitely the best Asians. I have read many Asian countries' views on western countries. Only China people have treated westerners equally, and they will not feel inferior or please. In addition, I found that almost all China people's thinking habits are critical thinking, even children! What an excellent education!
谁主张谁举证和用发展眼光看待问题，这两点是中国的义务教育
I think this comes from Chinese Dialectical Materialism throughout their school educations.
Compulsory education in China will cultivate students' dialectical thinking. When I was in the history class in junior high school, because of the simple thinking of children, we usually only look at problems from a positive or negative perspective. So every time the teacher reminds us to consider the two sides of things. I think it is in this kind of education that our thinking can be more independent.
The fact that these people are able to calmly give their honest and critical comparisons of US and China tells you all you need to know which country has more freedom of information and expression
Not China. Just because the US is bad does not mean that China is any better. China contributes to the sex trafficking of North Korean women and children, uses their ethnic minorities as slave labor, and has passed laws to forcibly assimilate ethnic minorities into Han Chinese culture (cultural genocide/ethnocide).
Thanks!
These people got brains n critical thinking as compared to most Americans
And Americans would say the chinese have no brains and can't think critically. Making generalisations about an entire country especially one with a much wider range of beliefs and positions than could ever be possible in China....Well Done and excellent critical thinking on your part.

I am a Chinese citizen, because of the hostility of the United States towards China, I am quite supportive of China's current measures to control public opinion. The trumpets of the world are in the hands of the West, it is easy for them to manipulate public opinion and cause chaos in the internal affairs of other countries.

And this restriction has protected the Chinese market from being dominated by American IT companies, so China has many large Internet companies. Looking at various corporate rankings, in addition to American Internet companies, the largest is Chinese Internet companies. Most of the countries in this world are falling behind in the Internet space because they are occupied by American Internet companies. This has not only caused economic damage, but also led to the backwardness of related Internet technology, in which, again, only China can match the United States.
All in all proper interview and all had answers were backed up with logic and reason.
Some take aways based on the street interviews:
1. China doesn't do anti-US propaganda feeding their citizens negative and or fake news.
2. Chinese are very mature in their way thinking and their way of expressing their thoughts, even kids are saying things that western adults can learn from.
3. They very well understand ultimate freedom of act and speech has certain level of restriction in any part of the world.
4. In general Chinese don't preach/spread hate.
5. All interviewed people had their own perspective and view on the topic about Tiktok vs Douyin, and the most funny part was: in the US young people watch nonsense/dum stuff and in China educational stuff 🤣😂
Last but not least perhaps not all citizens know that western social tech companies like Meta, Google, Snap, X didn't choose to settle in China due to gov. rules requiring them to not send data and store in the US or outside of China. Same like Tik tok in the US all servers and data must be stored locally, which Tiktok/Bytedance did and follow. Apple for example did follow rules in China and there for example Apple Maps works fine.
你总结的我非常赞同，但是最后一点中国的苹果地图使用的是高德地图的数据。
When we use TikTok, we just want to kill time. No one will try to learn anything educational on TikTok. There are better and more professional websites and paper books for this purpose.
You are absolutely right, the ones who really dislike US are often the ones who go off the GFW to visit google, x etc. ... when they see ridiculous media report and comments about their own lives ...
A small correction: Honestly, China's official media reports on the US are somewhat negative (but not as exaggerated as Western media reports on China). But we have many other channels to obtain information besides official media, and many people, especially those who have received some education, have the habit of seeking verification, so they are not easily deceived by the media.

How is china peaceful, actually violent and aggressive
As an American, this is why Asian Boss is the only news I actually seek out anymore. I could never see a respectful, thoughtful interview of regular Chinese citizens through any main stream media here. And ai have to say, I agree with much of what they say. The commercialization of the news media in the US is a form of information control and censorship. Very interesting. Not a fan of the casual racism and homophobia at the beginning, but I dont want to pass judgement on people who lwere born and raised in a conservative and homogenous society.
As a starting rule of thumb I'm more inclined to look at non domestic sources when looking at what's being reported about any given country. That's not to say what they'd say is more or less true but it wouldn't be a big stretch to think that non domestic media are less invested when reporting about another country.

@@NeidlichesSchwert yes but actually no.
I looked at the comments section, and I think it would be great if most people in the world had similar ideas to the comments section here.
In my opinion, there are obvious development differences between Eastern and Western civilizations. Western civilization was largely developed based on pirate civilization, so their idea is that once they become strong, they will plunder. Western civilization is also an extroverted civilization, so Westerners don't like to be restricted, which is the origin of the so-called freedom.
The rise of Eastern civilization, especially Chinese civilization, is basically based on agricultural civilization, so the Chinese idea is to grow their own fields well, get a good harvest, be self-sufficient, and live a good life. So Eastern civilization has become an introverted civilization. They only need to take care of themselves and don't care much about what happens outside. So, in their view, the so-called freedom in the West has little to do with them. So, in essence, the focus of these two issues is different.
Then why is the so-called freedom now so important? This is because the West has controlled the world for one or two hundred years, and they have spread their way of thinking to the world, which has become the so-called universal value. However, due to the influence of civilization, China has never been changed by this Western value system. So, when China becomes strong, these two values will collide. Since Western governments consider China with Western values, they think that China cannot become strong for their own benefit, so they use their widely spread Western values to criticize China, which has led to misunderstandings of China among people in many countries over the past few decades.
One of the main reasons why China has not been conquered by Western values is that how can a civilization with thousands of years of history be simply overthrown by a civilization with only a few hundred years of history?
You are so right

Chinese government has regulations on what content is preferred for children on social media. As a result, social media works according to related laws or regulations.

They don’t want to make a law or regulation to restrict the social media, which will show their hypocrisy. They want the social media company to censor, restrict, push certain contents to certain group of people.

Well sushi was originally invented by China , Japanese used to be vegetarian , according to historical records, over 1800 years ago (specifically towards the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty), sushi was already being enjoyed in China, and it wasn't until around the year 700 AD that sushi began to be introduced into Japan.

the root of the issue with drugs and homelessness is largley, arguable entirely, due to government incompetence and corruption. people dont willingly become homeless or addicts, most often the circumstances of ones birth largley dictates their list of future oppurtunities. no matter the political party, conservative or democrat, its all about "strengthening the middle class" (though conservatives love protecting their upper class), only rarely do you get a public speaker who advocates for the protection and help of the struggling lower class, and even rarer does one get elected into a position of power.
as someone whos parents were raised in an upper-middle environment, was personally raised middle class, and now lives as low class due to circumstances entirely outside of my control, the government simply makes living difficult, nearly outright impossible for us. low income creates so much stress that people turn to alchoholism or drugs to relieve it. the government refuses to control these issues, if not outright ignore them, because it keeps people easy to manipulate.
the american public is an extremely volatile entity, its a controlled chaos. it is controlled by our lack of education, which is due to our governments obsession with puffing up its feathers, allocating trillions of dollars towards their military service rather than making the american people more respectable, educated, and beneficial to the world as a whole. its a nation fueled by greed and civil violence. a continuous struggle for power.

2:50 The uncle with a cap is definitely telling the truth when he used the word “admire”. For generations born before 1990s, US is truly an admirable country.
“Was”
Generally when people are starved, un-housed, sick, and in massive debt, they tend lash out and want to blame someone (anyone) for their troubles. In the case of USA, in the 80s it was Japan, in the 90s and 2000s it was the Middle East, and in the 2020s it's China. Western countries (particularly USA) have unhappy and debt-ridden citizens, and so national and local news cycles focus on bringing down their geopolitical neighbours rather than fix things at home.
On the other hand, much of the Chinese population (to the tune of 800+ million) have been lifted out of severe poverty. Healthcare, housing, transportation, and general infrastructure has improved for most of it's citizens. And while there are many young people facing employment challenges, we don't see the same level of poverty and desperation (especially for housing and healthcare) as in many Western countries. Chinese people are generally happy and content with their country, and so their news cycle focuses on the merits of their country.

Ecuador on Tuesday announced the suspension of an agreement with China that had waived visas for Chinese citizens traveling to the South American country, citing a “worrying” increase in irregular migration.
Ecuador's Foreign Ministry said in a statement that the suspension of the bilateral agreement is temporary and would start on July 1. It added that the measure was taken after authorities saw that around 50% of Chinese nationals entering Ecuador didn't leave the country “through regular routes” nor within the permitted 90 days they were allowed to stay under the waiver agreement.
The development would effectively mean that Ecuador was reinstating visas for Chinese citizens, but the Foreign Ministry did not provide any details.
Since 2023, people from China are among the top nationalities of migrants reaching the United States.
Ecuador, one of the only two mainland countries in the Americas that offer visa-free entry to Chinese nationals, has become a popular starting point for Chinese migrants who would then trek northward through Central America before entering the United States. The other country is the Republic of Suriname.
The Washington-based think tank Niskanen Center, citing official data by the Ecuadorian government, said that Chinese nationals entered Ecuador 48,381 times in 2023 but only left 24,240 times. The difference of 24,141 was the highest of any nationality, according to Niskanen.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said at a daily briefing on Tuesday that Beijing “firmly opposes all forms of human smuggling” and that the country’s law enforcement has been “tough on all kinds of human smuggling groups and individuals engaged in illegal immigration.”
China also has been working with other countries to “jointly tackle human smuggling activities, repatriate illegal immigrants and maintain a good order in cross-border travel,” Lin said.
Lin said the mutual visa exemption agreement between China and Ecuador first came into effect in 2016.
As bilateral relations are stabilizing, Beijing has resumed cooperation with Washington to repatriate Chinese nationals who are in the United States illegally.
The number of Chinese immigrants entering the United States rose drastically last year, when U.S. border officials arrested more than 37,000 Chinese nationals on the southern border, 10 times the number during the previous year.
The monthly tally fell in the first three months of this year, but it rose to 3,282 arrests in April. Former President Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, has suggested that the Chinese migrants, mostly men, could be building an army on the U.S. soil.
The Chinese migrants and their advocates have rejected Trump’s claims, saying they have left China for better economic prospects and a freer society after the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic.

中国人的年轻人现在更喜欢多途径辩证的看问题，而不是单一渠道去接受新闻信息。中国人都知道自己在国际网络上受到限制，但是只要你想，很容易就找到使用 VPN 的方法，只要不是在国际网络上进行违法犯罪的活动警察是不会找你的；另外据我观察中国的官方媒体会报道西方负面新闻，但通常不会报道捏造谎言的假新闻，但是西方媒体却会对自己的民众撒谎

We hope that the Chinese truly appreciate their country, values, infrastructure, stability, safety & so much more, all of which is missing in the USA in the name of freedom & democracy. The grass is always green on the other side - unfortunately the grass has turned brown & black in the USA.
Brown and black? Why is this happening? Is it because there is no water and fertilizer? Why not defend him?
It is because of modern history, for Chinese the recent 200 years is all about shame and pain, so as westerns believe ccp is evil, Chinese public saw ccp's contribution.
Obviously the young Chinese people can access TH-cam and instagram if they want to.
yes，iam here from shanghai😂
At this moment.I'm just using the TH-cam to watch this Video in China，So i mean, if you want to see something from the outside, you You can always find a way.
比如我😉
yes, here in chengdu
of course like me🤣
Do the same interview in the United States, please. It would be very interesting to see the responses side by side.
As a Black American living in Japan where I come in frequent contact with people from China we all have a lot in common despite our different backgrounds. People here are just as intelligent as the next person. I despise the way the two governments approach each other. China should be one of our major allies. The skepticism in the US is a bit immature and paranoid.
Skepticism? You realize ANY country would be viewed the same as China if they were about to overthrow the US as the global superpower. Are you kidding?
The US and China used to be allies during World War II. A prime example is The Flying Tigers during the war. When Mao took over China in the communist revolution, that's when things changed as we treated any type of communism as enemies. Ironically today, America has communists roaming around in our streets, and nobody does a thing.
I do agree that if China was an ally to the US, America would be even more powerful than what it is now with mutual cooperation.
Enjoy your time in Japan, a very fascinating country.
@@thefirstgenesis4280 Those Chinese interviewed were educated by the communist party which didn't teach them to hate America/American, like our government/media taught Americans to hate China.
Beautiful video! I think the key thing to pull from this video is that the people of our countries want to live in peace. Whilst the governments of the people will always have disagreements and try to impose ideologies through propaganda. Common sense and formulating your own opinions is very important in our modern age 👌🏼🇺🇸🇨🇳
Yes, but sadly, under a one-party rule, there is no true freedom of expression in China. There are no outlets to siphon off discontent.
in a way i agree with you,how many times has the Chinese president call American president names? But yes you will hear that a lot from USA.I don't know if they do that to tickle themselves and laugh about it
@@jacksonkingsnow6105 Yes. They do that to make themselves feel better. 'Murica, F Yeah!
13:12 That random old lady from the side suddenly chiming in “there’s no freedom of speech” haha that was random but shows the unexpected nature of street interviews
I think she’s talking about absolute freedom of speech
We call that kind of middle aged ladies Da Ma who are always in rage and always negative😂
Ironically, she was expressing her opinion unprompted AND freely!
That lady is so ignorant or being brain washed,China has come a long way from a very poor and no freedom country to the present most admired prospering and freedom country due to the quality of their leadership. There is almost no drug abused,no homeless people,almost no robber and very safe country.
Their electric car and their 5G network is no1 in the world and no country can take this achievement away. Unlike Japan,Korea,Taiwan or other countries where their achievement can be easily taken away by another country.
If China really cannot have freedom of speech, then she dare not speak like that
How have I not watched your videos before? Thank you for such great insight into the minds of normal Chinese citizens
The more you learn about how others think, the more you learn about yourself. Thank you for all the points of view.
As someone from the U.S, my impression of China is mostly positive.
I love a lot of the culture.
I love Douyin make-up(even though I suck at it lol) and hanfu looks gorgeous.
As a history buff, I find Chinese history very fascinating. I love learning about how life was in the forbidden city through the various dynasties, for example.
I love Chinese literature, like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Water Margin.
Chinese food, especially the Beijing cuisine I tried, is delicious.
And I recently tried the Sword and Fairy games and really like 7!
Obviously, it's not all sunshine and rainbows in China. Just like it isn't in the U.S. and the Chinese government is a different issue altogether, but most country's government sucks including the U.S's.
Overall, I send Chinese peeps nothing but love ❤️.
你很棒
Seriously, I like the last sentence said by the kid.
Wow imagine interviewing kids in the US about China. We'd see a stark difference from what we saw with the Chinese kids.
