      I respect your explanations. However I do believe it is a bit one-sided. Don’t forget the West is as suspicious of China as China is of the West. The two Michaels, for example, were wrongly arrested because Meng Wanzhou was wrongly arrested. And she was arrested for breaking a unilaterally implemented law. Try and see things from a Chinese perspective. China is a big country and a growing world power. It simply doesn’t see the US as the world’s policeman. Period. China may ask what right does the US have to dictate to others on what they can and cannot do with another country, i.e., Iran.
      So the tensions are not as one-sided as you think it is.

      For the guy asking about the risk of having your passport cut even though you became a naturalized citizen of another country. You need to ask your parents whether they got rid of your houkou registry in China before immigrating. When my mom left with me in tow, a zealous customs officer at the airport demanded she present evidence that our houkou get de-registered since we were immigrating. This was news to her and she had to spend another week running around the local public security bureau to get the paper work sorted out . It was a blessing in disguise because years later we encountered cases of people who did not have their foreign citizenship recognized as they still had the Chinese houkou on record.

    I left China two weeks ago after living there for six years, and to be honest, it is not the same country that I arrived in during 2016. During that time, things seemed a bit more relaxed even though there was censorship and police checks. However, after Covid I could really feel the government's authoritarianism. Living under the brutal Zero Covid policy has hardened my beliefs against authoritarian regimes, and my final six months in China were unbearable. From January to June I was forced to take a Covid test every 48 hours (and the cue was often over an hour every time), and I was subjected to a strict Covid lockdown for a short time. The locals that I came across acted terrified of me, and one guy in my apartment complex would cover his face with his shirt and run away every time he saw me as if I was a vector for Covid. The only reason I stayed until June is that I made a commitment to my school, and as a professional I wanted to finish my contract.
    When I departed a few weeks ago from the Guangzhou airport, it was quite nerve wracking. I noticed at immigration all Chinese passport holders had stacks of papers to show the immigration officers, and the officers were spending quite some time questioning every single Chinese person. There was a girl in line in front of me, and the officer questioned her for probably nearly 15 minutes and called over the supervisor. I'm not sure what they were talking about, but the supervisor signaled for the police to come, and they clipped her passport on the spot and took her way. After seeing that, I was called up to the counter, but since I have a foreign passport the officer didn't ask me a single question. He stamped my passport and sent me through. I can honestly say that I will probably never step foot in China again, which is a pity. I would have considered staying a little longer, but I felt as if the government's zero covid policy forced me out... I couldn't take it anymore.

    I went to China ~10 times between 2000 and 2019 and I saw a lot of changes over that time. Initially it was really positive change - development, environmental enforcement, a sense of hope and optimism. Until about 2018 I never had any kind of situation where I was even aware of the PSB keeping tabs on me (I was generally on shorter stays, 2 weeks - 3 months living in hotels.) Starting in 2018 I became aware of PSB interest in me through my employer. They told me that they had convinced the PSB that they didn't need to interview me because they knew exactly where I was staying, the hotel had scanned my passport (as they all do according to law) and I was only going to be there for a couple of weeks. In 2019 the PSB was not quite so easily put off and actually came looking for me at one of the factories I was involved with. Again, the company was able to convince them that the interview wasn't needed. This whole thing was routine and according to policy from the Chinese perspective, but the PSB was not so invisible and hands-off as it had been for the first 18 years I had been travelling there.

    I know several Chinese-born engineers, academics and students in San Diego, and most agonize about returning to China, torn between their fervent desire to see family and visit where they were raised, and their fear of the state. Their workaround is to meet their families in third countries having good relations with both China and the West, such as Thailand. But beneath this is the simple fact that they know they will continue to live in the US, that China no longer is, and may never again be, their home.
    Some who best cope with this situation create and embrace a dual nature, being both truly American and fully Chinese, accepting all the contradictions that may arise. As an example, a few friends have mastered idiomatic American English without eradicating their Chinese accent or mannerisms, making their inner contradictions evident to all their friends. Hearing perfectly used local slang (including emphasis and breathing patterns) with a Chinese accent makes me do a double-take, giving me a fresh perspective on my own world, something of great value to me as I often take it for granted. They are keen observers of, and participants in, life in the US.
    It forces me to remember, every time, that they bring an entire other world with them everywhere they go, their history and culture, their deep and permanent longing for distant family and places. My ways to acknowledge and appreciate this include always delighting in the things they share from their Chinese lives, such as listening to their family news from China shared over home-made hot-pot.
    I have other foreign-born friends, but they all know they can return "home" any time they choose, though most rarely do. Just knowing the door is open is enough to give them peace, even if they don't walk through it very often. Nearly all of my Chinese friends lack this possibility.
    I first visited Hong Kong 45 years ago, and I delighted in the turbulent and often difficult mixing of Chinese and western. I had so many wonderful experiences there. I especially loved how everyone supported my struggles with social Cantonese and business Mandarin, despite English being universally spoken. I share my stories of my time in Hong Kong with my Chinese friends, certainly as amusing tales, but more to say there is a China that I also loved and miss. It's not much, but I figure it's better than nothing.
    I've also met some Chinese who never really establish their own existence in the US, spending as much time as possible within Chinese communities and cliques, especially Chinese government funded "Confucius Institutes" and "Chinese Cultural Centers". The indoctrination they receive there is clear to me: I once was a "Jesus freak", and my church went to great lengths to emphasize how we were different from the world around us, teaching us how to emphasize its negatives while sharing the positives of our faith. In particular, we learned the "weaknesses" of other faiths and how to challenge them "with love". Ugh.
    I got what I needed from religion, then left it behind, never to return. My departure didn't happen in a single step, but rather through many small and torturous steps, leaving me struggling to fill the gaps left behind. There are things I still miss, particularly the large, warm extended family of the congregation. When I see such indoctrination done by a government, I essentially see that government as a religious cult, lacking its own legs of honesty and reason upon which to stand.
    I see similar things in my Chinese friends. The thing is, I had a choice and the time to explore it, making my process gradual. My Chinese friends, not so much, as they had visas with dates on them, forcing decisions under much greater pressure. Their "leap of faith" was many times larger than mine.

    This is a true story . In 2005 at age 35 this Tasmanian went on his 1st overseas trip to China where I had an English and music teacher job lined up in Nanchang , Jiangxi province with a 3 month holiday visa .
    The company promised me a 1 year Z working visa but got me a holiday visa instead . Left the company as they were dickheads and found a lovely Chinese lady who said she would look after me n get me work and get me a Z working visa .
    She took me on my 36th birthday to Shanghai where I had to overnight and collect a Z visa following day . She stocked the hotel room fridge with beer and said not to leave the hotel . Being an idiot I got spastic drunk and went 4 a walk . I invited a couple of ladies back to my room . Next morning woke up . No ladies and missing passport .
    Back to Nanchang .
    Started teaching . Went to Australian embassy in Beijing and due to cockup didn't get new passport .
    Nanchang again , went to PBS who gave me a card written in characters with my name written on it . Still have no idea what it said . My boss set me in a flat and gave me regular teaching work + once a week 800 Kwai/RMB cash until 2014 when I finally left China . Im sure palms were greased as I was never bothered by the authorities .
    Met my watchers who said because I didn't sleaze onto my Uni students , didn't talk politics , could hold my booze and didn't cause any difficulties they were happy to have me as an illegal alien . Still got to travel the country by train though couldn't fly cos no passport .
    Finally got a new passport in 2014 . Received a polite from the PBS saying thanks for coming , please leave within 15 days , pay us 3000 RMB and don't return for 5 years .
    I think it may have been a personal reference letter from the Tasmanian state government that saved my proverbial arse but that's another story , but if anyone interested I'll tell you bout it .

    A story regarding the police registration: When I was in China I completely forgot to register at the local police station. Thankfully everything worked out, but when I later asked my host why he didn‘t tell me that he was totally perplexed at first and then mentioned that he had many guests that never registered with the police during their stay.

    It makes me sad to see that China didn't develop in a better direction, but getting to know China for the last ten years it does seem almost inevitable in hindsight. My brother and father both lived there for a number of years. My father lived there for over ten years, but permanently left this February. With the creeping increase of repression we saw what was on the horizon for a couple of years. Luckily my father was with us here in our home country when the pandemic hit and he only went back once to take care of moving back. Everything luckily coincided with my father reaching retirement age and the end of his employment contract. Hopefully I can go back to China one day. Regretfully I don't have high hopes for the near future of China, but the people of China deserve a better future.

    Right now, if you check any news channels (Except most China stations)), the area you are showing us that you were traveling in is currently terribly flooded. This and 5 other providences in Southern China were hit with Torrential rail, about 1 months worth in 2 days. Also there is suspicion that some Upper Level Dams have opened & flooded them so they would get flooded. It's really a horrible tragedy. Sort of surreal to see your beautiful scenery & know that much of it has been washed away or destroyed by mudslides!!

    One thing is for sure. You both have so much "home movies" from China you'll have memories for life! One of my interests involving China is my hobby, model trains. Most American model trains are manufactured in China. These are mostly American or Canadian companies who have a representative travel back and forth to oversee the tooling and manufacture of the models produced in China and shipped over and sold in north America. As I watch your videos, I often wonder if worsening situation in China will hinder that process and affect the products coming to us. Your take?

    Living there for 10 years, I can agree with some of your comments and some I do not. I have been watching the "tightening" of controls on society in general with great concern. Throughout history, increasing government controls were a precursor to military action and/or economic difficulties. China has never welcomed foreigners with open arms. We were a necessary evil, a means to gain experience, language, industry, etc. We prepared their students for education abroad. My small study abroad business, sent over 75 students to world colleges and universities, with the vast majority here in America. I tried to make our business a legal, registered enterprise, but you know how that worked out. I had a "live, call in" radio show on communist airwaves with a Chinese buddy. I trained Chinese English teachers at the request of the provincial government. However, from my earliest days, I knew I was staying there on borrowed time. I was recruited away from a very well known 5 star hotel chain based in Asia to become the director of operations over 6 "Brand Name" English schools for a Chinese owner. Every teacher I brought into country went through an intensive 4 day orientation. "Welcome to China, this is not America, Canada, the U.K. or any other country. The Chinese are in control here, they do things the Chinese way. Many citizens, the government, the PSB and others, do not want us here at all. Please remember, first and foremost, you are a guest in this country and that can be subject to change without any notice or due process." "Also, we are in the process of working ourselves out of a job. The day will soon come, we will no longer be needed here. Please plan accordingly." The actions I do not agree with are the "sensationalizing" of your topics. It seems to be one, long, continuous episode of China bashing. It puts you in the same revolting, segment of 99% of mainstream media that has lost all ethic and class. I know you are much better than that. I do respect your show and I miss my life there incredibly. My wife is Chinese as well. When I share about China when asked, I briefly remind the audience of the government, but then I focus on the amazing history, the hidden treasures and the incredible hospitality and graciousness that most citizens welcome you with. You men know that side too........

    I’ve been watching your guises channel for years. I watch it because of you guys not necessarily because what country it takes place in. What I would suggest is you guys from California should plan a road trip to Mexico. There’s plenty of culture there it’s pretty cheap and easy to get around as an English speaker. And you have beautiful scenery like the Myon pyramids. I think it could be a great third documentary that you guys produced and released.

Mexico City in parts of the outskirts look something like it’s from a James Bond movie. And again you have the Myon temples and tombs out there.
      Hotel King Las Foods The pliers and travel is relatively cheap if you’re using American cash and if you have a friend or hire a tourist guide who speaks the native tongue. And again the point of bringing up Mexico is the fact that number one they Can legally drive out there without any issues and number two they live in California so they’re about 30 minutes from the border they can drive their motorcycles up. It seems like a pretty cut and dry good idea and pretty well done documentary. Also the country of Mexico is pretty friendly with the United States so then I can run into any of the goofy issues they ran into with the Chinese government.

And of course their government isn’t as squeaky clean as the United States but it’s definitely nowhere near as corrupt as going to China. Because for one Mexico has a good working relationship with America. China obviously does not. My point is there a travel blogging channel that most people fell in love with because of China but ended up loving the two host of the show. I’m simply giving cheap suggestions of where they could travel to next as obviously they’re never going to go back to China again. Mexico is like the wild west and clearly if you know anything about the host of the TH-cam channel they like that kind of environment of the unknown. They are not the type of people that are that interested in traveling into let’s say Tokyo or London.

    I heard a story from April this year about a Chinese girl who was adopted by Americans as a baby and went to china on a charity trip this year and the Chinese government refused to let her leave, she’s 16 years old now and told the parents she was going to have to stay because she’s female and is needed. Well of course the parents pitched a fit to the us embassy and she was allowed home but it took over a month to get her released. Apparently in allot of Chinese adoption papers is says the parents outside china must return the kid back to china at age 18 but it’s not enforced usually. Very scary.
