I came here not interested in mandarin language, but rather to know chinese opinion on dating foreigners, but I do have to admit it is pretty useful to have the video subtitled both in mandarin writting aswell as diction, great job, even learnt a few mandarin words!
Its sad that Chinese don't know a thing about the outside world as the media in China is heavily regulated and censored and gives the news or viewpoint of the world which the CCP want to propagate....Also the hegemony of western media portraying themselves as good guys but the fact the western woman are disrespected in more ways u can think of and not just that men from western countries travel Asia for sex tourism speaks a lots about men from the west (of course not all men) but the west think they can judge any Asian countries because they fill superior and show the negative news coming out from that relevant countries....and here these innocent Chinese people fall in trap of what their CCP Control media show them which is obviously all negative thing about India as they can they can't compete with India's vast diversity and ancient history and culture....India's influence can be seen all over Asia through its culture and family values which is entirely different from the west.....India was a great civilization that ruled Asia for 1500 years and Buddhism and kung fu comes from India but these will not be taught in China as they want to project China as a supreme power in Asia.....and its the innocent Chinese people who fall for all these biased views and form their own conclusion....Note: all these are from my Indian point of views.
On the lighter note, most Indian also don't like Chinese....so most probably most Indian will prefer Indian from other state as Indian comes in all type of shape, size, form & color like white looking Indian, Brown looking Indian, Black looking Indian, Asian looking Indian, fat Indian, slim Indian, short Indian, tall Indian...India is a world in itself.....unlike homogeneous society like China...😂🤣😂 and also most Urban Indian speak better English than the US or England..
@@robinrahul2176 True, have in mind India was heavily colonized by britain so its expected english is a known language there, they speak It well but have a peculiar accent hehe.
The guy who said "they're more open-minded and don't keep things to themselves" is the only one who's actually thinking about a relationship in a mature way. Everyone else is focused on the appearance and superficial factors.
I thought much the same thing. Same with the girl earlier and her comments about “values’. Very circumspect and very saddening to see them forced to speak that way.
And most of them are 25 and younger and this is pretty much exactly how young folks here in USA are. LOL Have you ever heard the saying , youth is wasted on the young . No really thats how young people feel . They will mature, and their perspectives will change .
Probably is because of their regime that isolate most of their people from oversea cultures . China won´t be the great worldwide superpower with that kind of people .
@@stuka80 were you educated in America? Because they were poking fun at the Chinese woman in the video who said she'd consider dating foreigners if her English was better, but then said her preference would be men from France...
A little over 30 years ago I had a Chinese girlfriend. She was studying in Canada and we met at one of her jobs. We dated for five years, but in the end she called it off because I wasn't making enough money, while she had a great job. While she was in university she was asked by her friends if she was trying to get Canadian citizenship by marrying me (she wasn't). Another factor was that her parents didn't approve at all. I met them only twice in those five years but her dad was really against me, the mom probably a bit more open to me. I know she now has American citizenship, but she earned that on her own before she married. No idea what race person she married, but she did tell me that if she dated a black guy her parents would really hate that. She's now a vice president of a health insurance company. I have no right to be, but I am proud that she has been very successful in what she chose to de. Very happy for her.
No parent that cares about their daughter would allow them to marry a broke foreigner. Especially in China. And you're right, they're against black race mixing even more as they should.
@Frumentarii They're associating whites with intellectual prowess, industrial might, high standards of living and culture that privileges women. Especially for the girls, given the context of a relationship, those are the reasons why the're immediately thinking about native Europeans and Americans ("whites") - they're aspiring for good living.
@S Tra Totally agree, but what strikes here the western men who are conditioned by the liberal political narrative of media, Hollywood, Netflix etc is that they openly aren't "inclusive". They don't seem to feel 'guilty' that 'the different' which you refer to, does not include what we would call in the West 'people of color'.
no, africans, indians....etc too. many naive chinese easy girls think all foreigner are rich, well educated gentlemen, even if they are from poor countries where women are treated as subhuman
@@poli4869 Perhaps - I only know few Chinese people (rather educated) personally but for the girls in the video at 7:44 , 8:49, 8:54, 9:35 etc Africa and India clearly are not destinations of their weddings.
What a nice channel. I'm learning Chinese language and reached HSK-2 level, so I almost can understand what it says. And subtitles help a lot. Thanks you, I subscribed.
Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time. Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them). Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI). Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy. Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI). Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad). Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning! Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures. Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement. It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them. (19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad)..

@Isabelle Charmley "Foreigner/外国人/老外/洋人" is 99% of the time based on race. Viewers of this channel need to remember that. So, when they say "foreigner", they generally aren't talking about Koreans or Japanese at all. I personally find this very distasteful and racist, especially since Chinese people continue to call locals "foreigner/外国人/老外/洋人" when they visit places like Denmark. In fact, even when I visit China, I reject being called "foreigner/外国人/老外/洋人" if the term is on the basis of race. I only accept the term/s if (a) a Vietnamese person (for example) is equally a foreigner to me; (b) the Chinese person using the word fully accepts that s/he is a foreigner whenever they are outside China, even in a Chinese migrant community, such as Singapore; and (c) the topic of conversation necessitated the category. With (c) if it's about whether people can('t) eat spicy food, then the category is totally irrelevant, because it's far more likely that a Westerner eats pepperoni salami, wasabi or Indian curry than a Chinese person.
@Isabelle Charmley I know about 川菜, but that doesn't mean Chinese people are the only people on the planet to eat spicy food. Try doing a google image search for 外国人 and see what you come up with. I'm giving your comment a like because you're such a good sport.
@@MrJuzzi3 There are subtle things as well... If you happen to speak Chinese, try your luck getting people to speak to you normally in the local language without (a) breaking into English all the time, or (b) gushing praise. Many don't notice this subtle form of discrimination because they're just so relieved the other person speaks English.
@@じゃみっと I dont speak chinese and i really didn't get the part about discrimination. Do you mean that going to china and trying to speak english to the locals is discriminating?
Beautiful irony that videos like this are the most fake thing on the internet. If you think cherry picked fake answers edited to pretend random chinese people like foreigners you should be wearing a helmet for safety lol. China are unquestioned and factually the most racist and horrible country on earth to foreigners especially foreigners from other asian countries like japan or korea. Never even think of going to china. You would walk in a restaurant if you didn't get kicked out straight away they would bad mouth you in chinese behind your back while spitting in your food.
I'm impressed how the interviewer make good questions and keep our interest on the video, it flows very well. Its also interesting the answers, like, "we're all human beings"
Honestly I live in the Netherlands but when I’m talking to my family about foreigners I’m usually talking about white people (and in some cases black people). I don’t really see Asians as foreign.
I think the whiter (in skin color) you are in china the more beautiful u are because being more yellow is usually associated with being poor and working on a farm in the sun
Hi, You look nice and charming on your profile picture, It is my pleasure to contact you after viewing your profile, and I would appreciate to know you more better, hope you don't mind? do you operate wechat on your phone?
These stories are the best way to learn. You can go back over and over, again and again even on facial expressions/body language. I think it teaches more than just the written and spoken language. Thank you Eileen and company.

*TOO FAST?* Control the video's playback speed by speeding up or slowing down the video 5% at a time on desktop computers and laptops OR 25% at a time on smartphone! *Access the playback speed controls as follows:* *Desktop Computers and Laptops:* open the video, then go to the *lower right of the video's screen* and click on the *settings* icon (it looks like a GEAR). On the upper right of the options window that comes up, you will see the link "custom". Click on the "custom" link to control the video's playback speed by speeding up or slowing down the video 5% at a time. *Smartphones:* open the video and go to the *upper right of the video's screen.* You will see *3 dots.* Click on them and you will see the link to open the "playback speed" controls. Click on this link and you will be able to control the video's playback speed by speeding up or slowing down the video 25% at a time. Note that viewing the video on desktop computer/laptops gives you greater control over the playback speed (5% vs 25% on smartphones).
A preference is choosing 1 thing over another if given the option for both or multiple. It's offensive and racist to say brown skin looks ugly or white skin looks sickly.
*In this street interview, Eileen asked Chinese the following questions:* 1) Would you consider dating a foreigner? 2) Foreigners from which country would you want to date the most? 3) Foreigners from which country are you least interested in dating? 4) If you had a foreigner boyfriend / girlfriend, what would be the reaction of your family and friends? 5) In China, we often see foreign guys with Chinese girls, but rarely do we see Chinese guys with foreign girls. Why do you think this is?
5. Chinese guy tend to be dominate, foreign girls (from West) are more towards equality. Chinese's "face" culture+ "male patriarchy" concept is clashing " individualism" culture.

It's pretty crazy to see that girl shiver and shake her head when saying "i don't like them. they're big and black". If someone over here said that we would be shocked
The irony that the Chinese can say whatever they want while our leaders claim they are SO oppressed. Here we go to jail because we wrote something controversial on Facebook.
@@jaskknd apparently they dont, when they say "i dont like dark skinned people". They do not get repercussions because liking white people, their culture/appearance is a norm.
@@markivanaustria7905 well.... the keyword here is THEIR law, right? i'm sure you'd get "disappeared" if they break THEIR laws, like, you know, talking trash about the CCP....
After living there for 2 years and teaching adult students, it seems easy to start a relationship in China as a foreigner, a lot of students were quite forward with me about that, but they also have quite a traditional expectation about relationships - they plan to get married eventually, they don't just date casually. So take that into account and be responsible about entering into relationships with them. Oh and the parents probably won't like you if you don't already have a house!
anshu lieyi black fella here . Regarding relationships in china it depends on the person I would say. been here for about 4 years and some people would tell you from the start that they are looking for a serious relationships while others just date casually. Chinese folks in general find white folks more attractive which is fine that’s why you should bring more to the table beside your look, if you eat well and stay fit you’ll still be attractive and have some more confidence don’t make it an excuse just because you were born that way. You have to be responsible as well. Cheers
@anshu lieyi That's not always the case. I've studied in China before. Although what he said is mostly true, it applied to me and I'm NOT full blown white(I'm a brown Hispanic). Many Chinese might say they prefer something, but they do like a guy that treats them right as well. Talking from experience, I'm still talking to the same girl since I came back from the states 3 years ago(We communicate daily). We've been planning to meet soon again. Constantly we've been planning how we can continue our relationship without distance. So, I'm considering moving to China for her mostly and I just enjoyed my time in China. It has so much to offer cultural and history wise.
Easy when you're white, black and brown people in Asia don't get the same reception here, there's a lot of subtle racism and the level of ignorance towards issues of race here is astounding. Been living in China for 2 years now, so I know too.
@Jack Frost wow really? I'm a Slav girl and i agree with you if we're talking about 20 years back period. Big families with kids? - rather a nightmare(and i'm not speaking about myself only). A man-provider? - huh, have you seen many of those?))))) I'm from Ukraine and saw that scenario only in films made in USSR...
Overall, I found the video to be informative and engaging. It's always great to learn more about other cultures and gain a better understanding of the world around us.
I laughed so hard from the last guy. From my own experience i think the biggest reason is culture and language barriers. My fiancé is chinese and she was certain her family would not accept her having a foreign boyfriend. Fast forward a year when she finally dared to introduce me to her family. They were sceptical at first, but after an hour or so they became more and more comfortable. She was rather suprised over theyr reaction. There was one term tho and that was i was not allowed to marry her until i speak chinese, so here we are.
@@sasino Hey! Just to let you know in case you didn't already, 吗 isn't necessary after a question in that (verb)不(verb) form that you used. You can either phrase the question as '你说中文吗?' or '你说不说中文'. That being said, I'm also curious. Hey OP! 你现在中文怎么说？
This is so helpful. As I listen I put unfamiliar terms in a quizlet to be studied later. Very helpful having the Pinyin and the translation! The repetition naturally found in their answers is also very helpful!

Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them). Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI). Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy. Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI). Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad). Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning! Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures. Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement. It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them. (19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad)..

Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either.

@@naria2224 they don't explain it in duolingo but funny enough we do have same tones in english but use them when implying intent of sentence. Rising tone is exactly the same as when you imply a sentence is a question in english for example. Rewiring my brain to put that mid sentence was a challenge at first but getting used to it. I'm about 80 days into it now.
how good is duolingo on higher levels ? i started duolingo basic lessons on Japanese and they didnt teach much. Nothing really useful that i couldnt have figure out before.

I think that one might have genuinely been a compliment towards Belarus. Maybe the Chinese historically and politically feel more associated with Russia, the former Soviet Union and the Russophone sphere in general. Maybe then for the Chinese, Belarus doesn't feel that distant after all. I mean, they were more negative in this video about truly Asian countries like India; like the girl at 7:36, that described India as a "remote, far away country", whereas it's literally a neighbor country. But apparently Belarus (and I guess Russia and the Ukraine too) feel probably less distant to the Chinese than (their political rival) India.
I don't know why Chinese people feel this way, but I'm surprised they don't have more respect for African people. I've had African neighbors here in the USA. Eritrean, Nigerian and west African folks. The men are friendly and respectful and the ladies wear fabulous colors and are beautiful in their own unique way. I'm sorry this isn't better know to the greater world.
This should be obvious but the Africans who can immigrate to the US aren't average, because immigration to the US is a task that the average African literally cannot do. These are people that are in the top ~1% of Africans who have a strong educational background, and who have their stuff in order. Most people call it brain drain. This of course doesn't apply to Africans with refugee status, who could be of almost any background. Also, adding "in their own unique way" makes it sound a bit like a backhanded compliment.
I don't buy it dude. You need to impress me with data. What do demographics show? I can change my opinion but I need real world information. Do you know the demographics of Africans who emigrate to China or seek refugee status there? Let me know. I'm all about learning and am willing to change my point of view as long as I have good information in front of me. You could be that person who helps me understand the situation better.
eh depends on what circle you're in, and what regions you live in. e.g. West London is generally quite nice (I am 耳濡目染 biased towards it though lol), South > North London and South > North England, ;), but also you generally get quite warm and comfortable people where you stay in the nicer areas.
@@Haz-Zzz - The average Chinese is actually better travelled and therefore more worldly than the average Westerner.... and they start to learn English from a very young age which means the majority of them are bilingual or at least semi-fluent... There are FAR fewer Westerners that can speak even a few words of Mandarin much less manage semi-fluency.
Omg thank youu! So cool to have the 3 subtitle like that I’m trying to learn Chinese and this is so good to hear prononciations and remember the characters !
10:37 There's a fixation on the japanese porn industry in China. A chinese friend told me she thought I was studying Japanese because I wanted to date a pornstar or something and I was just like WTF? She said Japan is famous in China for its porn. Americans don't associate Japan with porn
@@genchwanlim2970 The porn thing is actually a result from american occupation in the 50s. Nothing to do with westernization which happened during a time were porn was illegal in all western countries.
Instead of creating this meaningless video focus on chain , Chinese people doesn't have any freedom inside china to talk about cruel government , I feel so pity for Chinese people , unlike the other countries Chinese people cannot enjoy democracy , they have to be in fear of government always .
@@linghua209 The teaching system is also bad. You learn maths, english and chinese. There are no other subjects at primary school. You often do homework to about 10 at night everynight except for occational holidays. There are test every week and anything less than 100% is a fail. I have ended up with visible bruises, and school is the main reason I live in England now.
As a German born Cantonese who studied in China, it is really funny for me how I can confirm the prejudices xD Don't want to be offensive but the majority of the people I met weren't interested at Africans, Arabs, Indians and similar people of "darker skin", because these countries are regarded as poor and not attractive. The comment about not liking countries that are far is also interesting, as Europe and america are pretty far from China xD. Americans and Englishmen, are always seen as the typical handsome Brad Pitt. Its really interesting, as especially we Europeans like to make fun of obese Americans (which is of course not nice) Also french is just seen as the country of L'amour with the typical romantic Womanizer, whereby there are so many french with darker skin colour.... Germans were always seen as people with strong discipline and work ethic because of big companies like BMW, Audi etc... So even myself who looks Chinese received special treatment and respect for that xD I could also say a lot about the fact why foreigners date Chinese girls and why Chinese men don't date so many foreign girls, but I would rather leave it out so maybe I can get interviewed xD
But why would most Europeans feel justified making fun of America for being obese? Europe is also a fat continent and over half the EU's adult population is overweight or obese; with Germany contributing it's share of overweight people. So this amounts to a pot and kettle situation. It's true that it's immature and mean spirited behavior but the really sad part is it exposes those people in your country as ignorant of the fact Germany/EU has the same problem. Your numbers aren't as high as America's yet but they are bad enough I would just have to avoid those conversations to avoid sounding like a hypocrite or an uneducated person. But I've learned that there will always be people who continue in ignorance by choice.
Everyone has their own choices and opinions. It is not considered offensive as we did in my country. We consider Germans mostly gay, and we don't tend to them unlike other countries
My ex is chinese, i'm french. Met in Thailand. In a relationship for about 5 years. Thats was an amazing experience for both of us. Grateful I met her.
@@sandyzong3210 Its a long story. We could never found a place to set. I didn't want to live in France. I just use to come back for work few months, save money and back to Asia then. Li Lan did the same while I was in France, she went back to China. It would be too hard for her due to culture, langage, visa and food ( very important spicy food for a chinese girl from Sichuan ! ) I ve been twice to China, I loved it, wonderful memories traveling around. She took me to incredible places, but no way I live there in a small village away from Chongquig close to her parents. Been in her family for chinese new year. Separate room lol. The whole thing has been a lifetime experience.But she wanted to live there, more her parents actually. No one speak english over there, no much to do, no job for me, very poor area in the mountains. We have travelled 12 countries around Asia in 5 years, been through amazing adventures together but at the end, we knew somehow it couldn't work. We knew it from the beginning to be honest. It was a big issue, we could argue sometimes but we thought we could fix it later. We couldn't. And well, in China as a daughter, its very important to be married around 25 years old. Family, babies this kind of thing. If you are single around 30 years, basically, you too old as a girl. It gonna be hard to find someone then. Was always a big pressure from her parents into her, wedding, baby. Not my kind really. So time passed, we couldn't find a solution and i decided to break up and give her a chance to find someone else. A chinese guy which could fill her needs, maybe. More classical relationship but its something I can't give to her. I didn't want to play with her. Don't ask me if she is happy, we are not in contact since 2 years but I hope yea, she met someone and will be happy. A very nice girl, clever, funny, beautiful soul,. Very special, open-minded and she was a beauty. I'm very grateful for what we experienced together, we grew up together. That was something. I only have good memories about our relationship. There is so much more to say but I should write a book then !
Hey everyone, I'm living in China right now. Don't be fooled by the answers they give. A lot of Chinese are simply uneducated about dealing with foreigners and people with different ideals. Having one come face to face with them is a lot different than what you see here.
I had to rewind a few seconds everytime she was on screen. Just need to see more of her. I literally hoped she would like germans most so I could tell myself that there might be a chance 😅
I live in China for several years and love this country. People are so friendly and have good modals, education here is very important. i am happy with this video, its very informative.
sempai! That’s the same with a majority of the cultures in the world. Even in our western cultures I know you won’t know someone’s true feelings. I think it’s easier to tell there than over here just by the amount of backstabbing friends I see in America.
@@micallef87 - White Aussies tend to have deep Irish, Scottish and German heritage besides just British... Yes, the Brits colonised Australia from as early as 1788 but there were settlers from more than 30 countries represented in Australia before Federation in January 1901 including Chinese who first arrived for the great gold rush of the 1850s. Yours is not an uncommon misperception.
Just like to point out what I know. But also what not always is realised. And that is how the whole world is 99% similar. All the people in the video could literally be all European and they would say, react, feel the same way with the same openness. The same for the whole rest of the world. That is what I love. What I mean with that ultimately is that, sometimes this platform on certain videos about Conflicts around the world from government perspective, which by the way trickles down to thinking you should stand by your government even if it is hurting other nations or neighbors next to you. Which is where we see polarizing reactions. yeah ALL you are like this. ALL you are like that. There is no all at all. Most of us are literally 99% the same around the world. The same feelings, the same kindness in us and the same openness. We literally all think how lovely it would be to interact with a European, or a Asian or American or African. That is what I like. And that is also what I can see in such videos. And ps. The videos of conflicts which shows polarizing answers. These are internet based. We feel the need to be very hard and black and white on the internet. Or else we think others are not hearing us. But lets say someone is very black and white on a video. Don't you think this person in reality may easily have been purswayed by a smart and kind person to think otherwise? I have some fears and definitely doubts about the Chinese government. And it's also my right as someone who investigates a lot. I have real credible fundaments for that. But I am not going to say China is bad in everything. Not at all. A country exists out of 1 million different things. And that is what I mean. Polizaring and black and white is like everything is being reduced to 1 thing. In a alternative timeline maybe I would have been making a Chinese girl extremely happy in a wonderful relationship. And in another alternative world I would have done the same with a person from every country in the world as the same person that I am. And Im sure I could find many wonderful things I could enjoy in all countries. Literally we are much much closer to eachother than we think. Also. I met a Chinese girl. I influenced her a lot with a county that I love dearly, which is Greece. She is in love with it too now as I showed her many things and she went to Greece for the first time and said that never had she experienced such a special holiday ever. Nowhere on earth. I loved her reaction and experience a lot. And what was also lovely is when she was sharing throughout the year moments like: today we have this tradition, and another day we celebrate that! it was lovely. and I did the same back. She then saw that Greek and Chinese traditions may have even much more similarities and she would even say, that maybe some of the Chinese dancing traditions may have indirectly come from some Greek influences when we would be sharing lovely things. Point with all this is again, there is much more similarities in many things. than meets the eye. and also that people, if they are curious would only enrich eachother. Enrich!
English people are warm and friendly if you exclude London and the Home Counties. Chinese woman might have difficulties with many of the English accents. Scottish accent would be impossible to understand
The "they'd be happy cause I finally would hava a gf" and "because of the size" were damm fun 😂😂😂 . its surprisese me how girls would rather muscles and height and blue eyes over that sense of humor.
The most interesting part is the idea of not "liking black" people because there is an assumption that poverty pervades in Africa. Or perhaps they don't like black skinned people. I advise them to get out of their bubble. Not all Africans are poor.
Apparently they think all Africans indians and tbh anyone with dark skin live in grass huts or something, and as long as you have white skin, you are rich and educated. Stupid people imo
For the record I am American and I am married to a beautiful Chinese man. Everyday we work on our language skills and laugh at our mistakes and enjoy getting to know one another's culture. I have finally found the man of my dreams and love him with all of my heart! Wo ai ni, Sheng! By the way guys, don't be shy go and talk to that girl because you never know!
9:57 He's not wrong, a lot of people here in the US are egotistical and lack the any amount of reservation to consider most situations. It's always refreshing to see a mix of being confident and reserved enough to be humble.
I suggest you travel around the world,, you will see arrogant people everywhere. IN FACT.. myself being "foreigner" when I am in USA , I experience probably the least of it compared to some other places. Americans are generally very nice and always willing to help. Of Course there is a difference between big city ,, eg New York and some smaller town in Midwest region. Most likely you will encounter more "arrogance" in the city,, but that is only because of fast pace always busy tempo,, they have.
He said American are a little arrogant :') honestly they the most open people I have seen very friendly in general compared to other countries when you talk to native people they ignore . Imo (Spanish American Mexican Arabs Pakistanis Danemark German) are the most friendly to foreign ( it's different tho if you living there hard to learn the culture)
Canadian beliefs are based on having trust in one another, and helping those who are struggling. I will back my statement up by firstly saying that most of us have enough faith in one another, and the law, to leave our car doors and houses unlocked, and even the way our taxes and healthcare works is a perfect example of helping those who would be stuck in a bad situation, get the help they need. As a Canadian, I actually think we're solid lads who are, for the most part worthy of the title 'gentleman' (many exceptions exist of course LMAO).
As someone who finished my bachelors in the USA and now living in Canada, she is right. Canadian are way nicer than Americans, they are better in every aspect that I measure so far.
Yeah ... she laugh ... ha ha ha ... be ready for a hell of devastating relationship. I know this kind of woman in Japan, looks like they follow the same pattern ... They will date you, they will pretend that they like you, just to get involved in a relationship to get pregnant as fast as they can. She will not love you, she will not treat you as a real partner. She will take your child from you, and they will disappear from your life, and you will have to continue paying to her for the child´s care. I have some friends that falled in love with this kind of asian woman, (they just want to show how cute their babies are, gives them some kind of reputation or something like that) and i promise you, if you want to throw your existence to the toilet, this kind of woman it is perfect for you.
I met lovely Lady from China.She was young and beautiful.She ordered the coffee in the airport and took the seat.I just asked her can I have a seat and she answered yes. Had a lovely chat about music and scene in London. 6:07 Suddenly I look at my watch and was time for me to catch a flight. I could see in her eyes she wanted too chat more and sometimes I met Chinese ladies in Thailand that are quite open too conversation.
Brilliant video. My boyfriend is from Shanghai, and we are very happy. China and England is a perfect mix. I'm sure it doesn't matter the region someone is from. It only matters what your heart says.
I have dated a Chinese American man and I very much enjoyed. I have not dated a man while living in China however. I mostly like good manners and to mostly follow cultural norms of a partner that I like in general. Language isn't an issue for me because hopefully I would not have to say much or having to be explaining myself; As long as they get what I'm about as a person.

I came here not interested in mandarin language, but rather to know chinese opinion on dating foreigners, but I do have to admit it is pretty useful to have the video subtitled both in mandarin writting aswell as diction, great job, even learnt a few mandarin words!
Its sad that Chinese don't know a thing about the outside world as the media in China is heavily regulated and censored and gives the news or viewpoint of the world which the CCP want to propagate....Also the hegemony of western media portraying themselves as good guys but the fact the western woman are disrespected in more ways u can think of and not just that men from western countries travel Asia for sex tourism speaks a lots about men from the west (of course not all men) but the west think they can judge any Asian countries because they fill superior and show the negative news coming out from that relevant countries....and here these innocent Chinese people fall in trap of what their CCP Control media show them which is obviously all negative thing about India as they can they can't compete with India's vast diversity and ancient history and culture....India's influence can be seen all over Asia through its culture and family values which is entirely different from the west.....India was a great civilization that ruled Asia for 1500 years and Buddhism and kung fu comes from India but these will not be taught in China as they want to project China as a supreme power in Asia.....and its the innocent Chinese people who fall for all these biased views and form their own conclusion....Note: all these are from my Indian point of views.
@@robinrahul2176 Yeah, I have a perception that they have a negative POV about black people.
On the lighter note, most Indian also don't like Chinese....so most probably most Indian will prefer Indian from other state as Indian comes in all type of shape, size, form & color like white looking Indian, Brown looking Indian, Black looking Indian, Asian looking Indian, fat Indian, slim Indian, short Indian, tall Indian...India is a world in itself.....unlike homogeneous society like China...😂🤣😂 and also most Urban Indian speak better English than the US or England..
@@robinrahul2176 True, have in mind India was heavily colonized by britain so its expected english is a known language there, they speak It well but have a peculiar accent hehe.
"English people are very kind and warm" She clearly has never been to Birmingham
of course, Birmingham... and Newcastle
There aren't many English people in Birmingham
They are kind to her because she is a woman.
There are no English people left in Birmingham.
so naive
the best answer ever "because we are all human beings"... that's the mindset
Ikr, I thought the same. Whatever race you are we all have the same body, (besides male/female of course)
@William Baric kek
Unfortunately...not many people have that mindset, especially now with western media Propaganda promoting racism against Chinese
So? I still prefer my own people over everyone
Still okay to have preference of couse but that mindset is good.
"Which Asian country"
"Belarus"
I died
He should have said Tatarstan, province in russia, still on the european side, but there ppl look like tall blonde chinese (at least some I know).

The young man said it best "we are all human"
The guy who said "they're more open-minded and don't keep things to themselves" is the only one who's actually thinking about a relationship in a mature way. Everyone else is focused on the appearance and superficial factors.
I live in China, unfortunately things are like this
I thought much the same thing. Same with the girl earlier and her comments about “values’. Very circumspect and very saddening to see them forced to speak that way.
And most of them are 25 and younger and this is pretty much exactly how young folks here in USA are. LOL Have you ever heard the saying , youth is wasted on the young . No really thats how young people feel . They will mature, and their perspectives will change .
@@carocard7074 how come you can use youtube tho? Arent you under a dictatorship?

@@stuka80 were you educated in America? Because they were poking fun at the Chinese woman in the video who said she'd consider dating foreigners if her English was better, but then said her preference would be men from France...
@@fingernecklace4817 partly educated in America. that was a tongue in cheek comment i made, i'm aware what the lady meant when she said it.
A little over 30 years ago I had a Chinese girlfriend. She was studying in Canada and we met at one of her jobs. We dated for five years, but in the end she called it off because I wasn't making enough money, while she had a great job. While she was in university she was asked by her friends if she was trying to get Canadian citizenship by marrying me (she wasn't). Another factor was that her parents didn't approve at all. I met them only twice in those five years but her dad was really against me, the mom probably a bit more open to me. I know she now has American citizenship, but she earned that on her own before she married. No idea what race person she married, but she did tell me that if she dated a black guy her parents would really hate that. She's now a vice president of a health insurance company. I have no right to be, but I am proud that she has been very successful in what she chose to de. Very happy for her.
I strive to be like her parents
Jeez, they're evil everywhere.
@@ivanivan5511 No they are based. China knows the importance of preserving the race.
No parent that cares about their daughter would allow them to marry a broke foreigner. Especially in China. And you're right, they're against black race mixing even more as they should.

@@viniciusdantas3839 O course but I guess her answer means "any country from Africa" and everybody understood. Some mentioned also Asia at some point.
I think he misunderstood the question cause he goes on to say something like "Yeah, Belarus likes Asian countries".
by foreigners they actually mean "white foreigners"
@Frumentarii They're associating whites with intellectual prowess, industrial might, high standards of living and culture that privileges women. Especially for the girls, given the context of a relationship, those are the reasons why the're immediately thinking about native Europeans and Americans ("whites") - they're aspiring for good living.
@S Tra Totally agree, but what strikes here the western men who are conditioned by the liberal political narrative of media, Hollywood, Netflix etc is that they openly aren't "inclusive". They don't seem to feel 'guilty' that 'the different' which you refer to, does not include what we would call in the West 'people of color'.
no, africans, indians....etc too. many naive chinese easy girls think all foreigner are rich, well educated gentlemen, even if they are from poor countries where women are treated as subhuman

Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time.
Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.
(19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad)..

Foreigner for most asian people = "White, tall, blond, blue eyes"
@Isabelle Charmley "Foreigner/外国人/老外/洋人" is 99% of the time based on race. Viewers of this channel need to remember that. So, when they say "foreigner", they generally aren't talking about Koreans or Japanese at all. I personally find this very distasteful and racist, especially since Chinese people continue to call locals "foreigner/外国人/老外/洋人" when they visit places like Denmark. In fact, even when I visit China, I reject being called "foreigner/外国人/老外/洋人" if the term is on the basis of race. I only accept the term/s if (a) a Vietnamese person (for example) is equally a foreigner to me; (b) the Chinese person using the word fully accepts that s/he is a foreigner whenever they are outside China, even in a Chinese migrant community, such as Singapore; and (c) the topic of conversation necessitated the category. With (c) if it's about whether people can('t) eat spicy food, then the category is totally irrelevant, because it's far more likely that a Westerner eats pepperoni salami, wasabi or Indian curry than a Chinese person.
@Isabelle Charmley I know about 川菜, but that doesn't mean Chinese people are the only people on the planet to eat spicy food. Try doing a google image search for 外国人 and see what you come up with. I'm giving your comment a like because you're such a good sport.
Thats me! I want to travel to asia one day just to see if they treat me like a alien
@@MrJuzzi3 There are subtle things as well... If you happen to speak Chinese, try your luck getting people to speak to you normally in the local language without (a) breaking into English all the time, or (b) gushing praise. Many don't notice this subtle form of discrimination because they're just so relieved the other person speaks English.
@@じゃみっと I dont speak chinese and i really didn't get the part about discrimination. Do you mean that going to china and trying to speak english to the locals is discriminating?
This is the most real way to learn about Chinese people and not to try to learn from the mainstream fake media. Very insightful, 👍👍👍
Beautiful irony that videos like this are the most fake thing on the internet. If you think cherry picked fake answers edited to pretend random chinese people like foreigners you should be wearing a helmet for safety lol. China are unquestioned and factually the most racist and horrible country on earth to foreigners especially foreigners from other asian countries like japan or korea. Never even think of going to china. You would walk in a restaurant if you didn't get kicked out straight away they would bad mouth you in chinese behind your back while spitting in your food.

The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God.

And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).

But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?"

Doesn’t it make you sad that so many of them don’t like black people?
@@ChattyCinnamon Why would she be? It's the men who are dangerous savages that grape everything they meet. And if she's black, she knows that better than anyone.
@@ChattyCinnamon LMFAO they will never learn.
@@ChattyCinnamon haha they were saying they don't prefer black people in a dating context which is their right :)
Wow! The interviewer is very skilled, asks penetrating questions, and gives a throughout perspective. I subscribed!
It's pretty crazy to see that girl shiver and shake her head when saying "i don't like them. they're big and black". If someone over here said that we would be shocked
she mean they' are too tall

@@matheuseduardo67 omg lol
U know the gals too good hahahaha
That guy is history
I had the same thought. Don't answer that, IT'S A TRAP!
After living there for 2 years and teaching adult students, it seems easy to start a relationship in China as a foreigner, a lot of students were quite forward with me about that, but they also have quite a traditional expectation about relationships - they plan to get married eventually, they don't just date casually. So take that into account and be responsible about entering into relationships with them. Oh and the parents probably won't like you if you don't already have a house!
@anshu lieyi This ^
anshu lieyi black fella here . Regarding relationships in china it depends on the person I would say. been here for about 4 years and some people would tell you from the start that they are looking for a serious relationships while others just date casually. Chinese folks in general find white folks more attractive which is fine that’s why you should bring more to the table beside your look, if you eat well and stay fit you’ll still be attractive and have some more confidence don’t make it an excuse just because you were born that way. You have to be responsible as well. Cheers
@anshu lieyi That's not always the case. I've studied in China before. Although what he said is mostly true, it applied to me and I'm NOT full blown white(I'm a brown Hispanic). Many Chinese might say they prefer something, but they do like a guy that treats them right as well. Talking from experience, I'm still talking to the same girl since I came back from the states 3 years ago(We communicate daily). We've been planning to meet soon again. Constantly we've been planning how we can continue our relationship without distance. So, I'm considering moving to China for her mostly and I just enjoyed my time in China. It has so much to offer cultural and history wise.
Easy when you're white, black and brown people in Asia don't get the same reception here, there's a lot of subtle racism and the level of ignorance towards issues of race here is astounding. Been living in China for 2 years now, so I know too.
@Jack Frost wow really? I'm a Slav girl and i agree with you if we're talking about 20 years back period. Big families with kids? - rather a nightmare(and i'm not speaking about myself only). A man-provider? - huh, have you seen many of those?))))) I'm from Ukraine and saw that scenario only in films made in USSR...
Overall, I found the video to be informative and engaging. It's always great to learn more about other cultures and gain a better understanding of the world around us.
These kinds of videos are highly useful for learning common expressions; much better than learning from a book.
I laughed so hard from the last guy. From my own experience i think the biggest reason is culture and language barriers. My fiancé is chinese and she was certain her family would not accept her having a foreign boyfriend. Fast forward a year when she finally dared to introduce me to her family. They were sceptical at first, but after an hour or so they became more and more comfortable. She was rather suprised over theyr reaction. There was one term tho and that was i was not allowed to marry her until i speak chinese, so here we are.
Any leads on learning Chinese

Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time.
Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).

Okay, as a person of Belarus origin, I guess I will claim I'm actually Asian from now on =)
I think that one might have genuinely been a compliment towards Belarus. Maybe the Chinese historically and politically feel more associated with Russia, the former Soviet Union and the Russophone sphere in general. Maybe then for the Chinese, Belarus doesn't feel that distant after all. I mean, they were more negative in this video about truly Asian countries like India; like the girl at 7:36, that described India as a "remote, far away country", whereas it's literally a neighbor country. But apparently Belarus (and I guess Russia and the Ukraine too) feel probably less distant to the Chinese than (their political rival) India.
Belarus is my favorite Asian-American country

@Rasian well, if Lukashenko looks like a Central Asian, i'm not a Central Asian then xD
I don't know why Chinese people feel this way, but I'm surprised they don't have more respect for African people. I've had African neighbors here in the USA. Eritrean, Nigerian and west African folks. The men are friendly and respectful and the ladies wear fabulous colors and are beautiful in their own unique way. I'm sorry this isn't better know to the greater world.
This should be obvious but the Africans who can immigrate to the US aren't average, because immigration to the US is a task that the average African literally cannot do. These are people that are in the top ~1% of Africans who have a strong educational background, and who have their stuff in order. Most people call it brain drain. This of course doesn't apply to Africans with refugee status, who could be of almost any background. Also, adding "in their own unique way" makes it sound a bit like a backhanded compliment.
@@willmannnI
I don't buy it dude. You need to impress me with data. What do demographics show? I can change my opinion but I need real world information. Do you know the demographics of Africans who emigrate to China or seek refugee status there? Let me know. I'm all about learning and am willing to change my point of view as long as I have good information in front of me. You could be that person who helps me understand the situation better.

Instead of creating this meaningless video focus on chain , Chinese people doesn't have any freedom inside china to talk about cruel government , I feel so pity for Chinese people , unlike the other countries Chinese people cannot enjoy democracy , they have to be in fear of government always .
@@linghua209 The teaching system is also bad. You learn maths, english and chinese. There are no other subjects at primary school. You often do homework to about 10 at night everynight except for occational holidays. There are test every week and anything less than 100% is a fail. I have ended up with visible bruises, and school is the main reason I live in England now.
Ummm, where do you think Belarus is bruh, LOLZ
@@rhianimal19 Off course, we all know that Belarus isn't european at all.
@@NoName-hv7xn Apparently not that guy
I am surprised Australia wasn't mentioned more. a lot of Chinese people that come to study here speak really highly and many end up relocating here.
澳洲太“土”了🤣🤣
Melbourne CBD is practically a Chinese enclave 😂

These subtitles are so great for a beginner Chinese student like me. Thanks for a lovely video!
"Because i feel the babies will be very cute !" - there's our honest girl, lmao :D
As a German born Cantonese who studied in China, it is really funny for me how I can confirm the prejudices xD
Don't want to be offensive but the majority of the people I met weren't interested at Africans, Arabs, Indians and similar people of "darker skin", because these countries are regarded as poor and not attractive. The comment about not liking countries that are far is also interesting, as Europe and america are pretty far from China xD. Americans and Englishmen, are always seen as the typical handsome Brad Pitt. Its really interesting, as especially we Europeans like to make fun of obese Americans (which is of course not nice)
Also french is just seen as the country of L'amour with the typical romantic Womanizer, whereby there are so many french with darker skin colour....
Germans were always seen as people with strong discipline and work ethic because of big companies like BMW, Audi etc... So even myself who looks Chinese received special treatment and respect for that xD
I could also say a lot about the fact why foreigners date Chinese girls and why Chinese men don't date so many foreign girls, but I would rather leave it out so maybe I can get interviewed xD
But why would most Europeans feel justified making fun of America for being obese? Europe is also a fat continent and over half the EU's adult population is overweight or obese; with Germany contributing it's share of overweight people. So this amounts to a pot and kettle situation. It's true that it's immature and mean spirited behavior but the really sad part is it exposes those people in your country as ignorant of the fact Germany/EU has the same problem. Your numbers aren't as high as America's yet but they are bad enough I would just have to avoid those conversations to avoid sounding like a hypocrite or an uneducated person. But I've learned that there will always be people who continue in ignorance by choice.
Thanks for the additional insight. Their obsession for whiteness is troubling.
Everyone has their own choices and opinions. It is not considered offensive as we did in my country. We consider Germans mostly gay, and we don't tend to them unlike other countries
@@satisfyinglife4751 why do you consider Germans gay?
@John Xina Chinese are just like Americans
The guy that says 'Fate'/'Yuanfen' , be awesome to connect and be friends, brother :D - And others too. Just love your personality
As somebody studying Chinese, I'm actually learning a lot from these videos by looking at the subtitles. Thanks for this!
My ex is chinese, i'm french. Met in Thailand. In a relationship for about 5 years. Thats was an amazing experience for both of us. Grateful I met her.
It's really cool that eventhough you broke up , you are happy to have met her.
Then why you guys choose to break up?
@@sandyzong3210 Was wondering the same.
met in Thailand huh. nicee
@@sandyzong3210 Its a long story. We could never found a place to set. I didn't want to live in France. I just use to come back for work few months, save money and back to Asia then. Li Lan did the same while I was in France, she went back to China. It would be too hard for her due to culture, langage, visa and food ( very important spicy food for a chinese girl from Sichuan ! ) I ve been twice to China, I loved it, wonderful memories traveling around. She took me to incredible places, but no way I live there in a small village away from Chongquig close to her parents. Been in her family for chinese new year. Separate room lol. The whole thing has been a lifetime experience.But she wanted to live there, more her parents actually. No one speak english over there, no much to do, no job for me, very poor area in the mountains.
We have travelled 12 countries around Asia in 5 years, been through amazing adventures together but at the end, we knew somehow it couldn't work. We knew it from the beginning to be honest. It was a big issue, we could argue sometimes but we thought we could fix it later. We couldn't.
And well, in China as a daughter, its very important to be married around 25 years old. Family, babies this kind of thing. If you are single around 30 years, basically, you too old as a girl. It gonna be hard to find someone then. Was always a big pressure from her parents into her, wedding, baby. Not my kind really. So time passed, we couldn't find a solution and i decided to break up and give her a chance to find someone else. A chinese guy which could fill her needs, maybe. More classical relationship but its something I can't give to her. I didn't want to play with her. Don't ask me if she is happy, we are not in contact since 2 years but I hope yea, she met someone and will be happy. A very nice girl, clever, funny, beautiful soul,. Very special, open-minded and she was a beauty. I'm very grateful for what we experienced together, we grew up together. That was something. I only have good memories about our relationship.
There is so much more to say but I should write a book then !
Hey everyone, I'm living in China right now. Don't be fooled by the answers they give. A lot of Chinese are simply uneducated about dealing with foreigners and people with different ideals. Having one come face to face with them is a lot different than what you see here.
can you elaborate on this? On what ideals are you talking about?
REALLY Z
Chinese girls don’t like Indian, maybe that’s why you upset about this vid lol
@@pbr7047 especially give the border conflict and the chauvinistic Indian netizens...
@@pbr7047 lol are you stupid or ignorant?
I was looking for such a channel, and finally I found it! This will pair nicely with my duolingo grinding, thank you :)

@@caovuonglam Cuz in Italy or western countries all Asians are seen as Chinese
@@perry8196 I get that as I've dealt with it myself. Wished people took geography more seriously!
The girl that said she speaks english with her dad was pretty darn adorable 😍
Actually she was the only one who did not seem to be superficial.
She would be my choice too.
I had to rewind a few seconds everytime she was on screen. Just need to see more of her. I literally hoped she would like germans most so I could tell myself that there might be a chance 😅
Very moving voice she got and quite pretty. But beware - tough choice! ))
She actually looked like she had a white Dad.
@@Vukage her father is German, the video mentioned that she's half Chinese, half German so I don't think she'll mind dating or marrying a German dude.
I live in China for several years and love this country. People are so friendly and have good modals, education here is very important. i am happy with this video, its very informative.
They are kind because of their culture it's to not seem rude. You can never know what someone is thinking.
sempai! That’s the same with a majority of the cultures in the world. Even in our western cultures I know you won’t know someone’s true feelings. I think it’s easier to tell there than over here just by the amount of backstabbing friends I see in America.
@@touya agreed!
@@touya Friends stab you in the front, not the back. If they backstab you, they weren't really your friend.

@@micallef87 - White Aussies tend to have deep Irish, Scottish and German heritage besides just British... Yes, the Brits colonised Australia from as early as 1788 but there were settlers from more than 30 countries represented in Australia before Federation in January 1901 including Chinese who first arrived for the great gold rush of the 1850s. Yours is not an uncommon misperception.
@@consciousbeing1188 Scottish is British you doofus
Just like to point out what I know. But also what not always is realised. And that is how the whole world is 99% similar. All the people in the video could literally be all European and they would say, react, feel the same way with the same openness. The same for the whole rest of the world. That is what I love. What I mean with that ultimately is that, sometimes this platform on certain videos about Conflicts around the world from government perspective, which by the way trickles down to thinking you should stand by your government even if it is hurting other nations or neighbors next to you. Which is where we see polarizing reactions. yeah ALL you are like this. ALL you are like that. There is no all at all. Most of us are literally 99% the same around the world. The same feelings, the same kindness in us and the same openness. We literally all think how lovely it would be to interact with a European, or a Asian or American or African. That is what I like. And that is also what I can see in such videos.
And ps. The videos of conflicts which shows polarizing answers. These are internet based. We feel the need to be very hard and black and white on the internet. Or else we think others are not hearing us. But lets say someone is very black and white on a video. Don't you think this person in reality may easily have been purswayed by a smart and kind person to think otherwise? I have some fears and definitely doubts about the Chinese government. And it's also my right as someone who investigates a lot. I have real credible fundaments for that. But I am not going to say China is bad in everything. Not at all. A country exists out of 1 million different things. And that is what I mean. Polizaring and black and white is like everything is being reduced to 1 thing.
In a alternative timeline maybe I would have been making a Chinese girl extremely happy in a wonderful relationship. And in another alternative world I would have done the same with a person from every country in the world as the same person that I am. And Im sure I could find many wonderful things I could enjoy in all countries.
Literally we are much much closer to eachother than we think.
Also. I met a Chinese girl. I influenced her a lot with a county that I love dearly, which is Greece. She is in love with it too now as I showed her many things and she went to Greece for the first time and said that never had she experienced such a special holiday ever. Nowhere on earth. I loved her reaction and experience a lot. And what was also lovely is when she was sharing throughout the year moments like: today we have this tradition, and another day we celebrate that! it was lovely. and I did the same back. She then saw that Greek and Chinese traditions may have even much more similarities and she would even say, that maybe some of the Chinese dancing traditions may have indirectly come from some Greek influences when we would be sharing lovely things.
Point with all this is again, there is much more similarities in many things. than meets the eye. and also that people, if they are curious would only enrich eachother. Enrich!
English people are warm..? What? :D He lied to you girl, your english teacher lied to you :P
Nice
He must be talking about the posh areas
@@TheDracoJC and the posh ones are douche bags
Maybe while he was still living in Europe, the only other European people he ever met were Finns?
English people are warm and friendly if you exclude London and the Home Counties. Chinese woman might have difficulties with many of the English accents. Scottish accent would be impossible to understand
Glad you made a version with English subtitles for this one.. very interesting subject! 👍
The guy with the glasses is so funny in his answers every time xD xD I love him really
The "they'd be happy cause I finally would hava a gf" and "because of the size" were damm fun 😂😂😂 . its surprisese me how girls would rather muscles and height and blue eyes over that sense of humor.
@@finckoff879 Honest and funny man - what else would a normal gal want!
The most interesting part is the idea of not "liking black" people because there is an assumption that poverty pervades in Africa. Or perhaps they don't like black skinned people. I advise them to get out of their bubble. Not all Africans are poor.
Apparently they think all Africans indians and tbh anyone with dark skin live in grass huts or something, and as long as you have white skin, you are rich and educated. Stupid people imo
4:23 “I prefer Asian countries”
“Which country”
“Belarus”
😂😂😂 i mean he had to come up with a very unique name
I'm not racist but, yeah there's a lot of racist people in China and I'm not surprised! Africans have been saying this for a long time 😎
to get racists quantities in china. you need divide whole american population into 12 parts.
The size guy was the most hilarious . straight from heart
He was the most honest and straightforward one, in all of his answers.
The guy on 1:50 was honest and that is what appreciated mostly.
For the record I am American and I am married to a beautiful Chinese man. Everyday we work on our language skills and laugh at our mistakes and enjoy getting to know one another's culture. I have finally found the man of my dreams and love him with all of my heart! Wo ai ni, Sheng! By the way guys, don't be shy go and talk to that girl because you never know!
Are you asian american?
I thought american women cared about size
@@rodrozil6544 Yes she is trying to get paid on here
@@arizonafarang4034 women worldwide only care about confident guys. confidence beats size, height and wallet
@arizonafarang4034 Women normally date up. Such as size of your brain or the top 10%.
9:57 He's not wrong, a lot of people here in the US are egotistical and lack the any amount of reservation to consider most situations. It's always refreshing to see a mix of being confident and reserved enough to be humble.
I'll second that opinion.
I suggest you travel around the world,, you will see arrogant people everywhere. IN FACT.. myself being "foreigner" when I am in USA , I experience probably the least of it compared to some other places. Americans are generally very nice and always willing to help. Of Course there is a difference between big city ,, eg New York and some smaller town in Midwest region. Most likely you will encounter more "arrogance" in the city,, but that is only because of fast pace always busy tempo,, they have.
that's why they believed bible is real and their government is hiding aliens.
He said American are a little arrogant :') honestly they the most open people I have seen very friendly in general compared to other countries when you talk to native people they ignore .
Imo (Spanish American Mexican Arabs Pakistanis Danemark German) are the most friendly to foreign ( it's different tho if you living there hard to learn the culture)
@@siramike2654 You know people all around the world believe the bible right? its not a "US thing" smh stop being ignorant
Very good interviews, especially the follow-up questions. Congratulations.

PS Belarus located between Russia and Europe
Thank you so much for all your videos!!! They helped me a lot when I started learning Chinese.
“I would date Canadian men because they are gentlemen”
“Did you study in Canada?”
“No I studied in the US”
😂😂😂 she’s got her head screwed on.
It explains why she mistakenly thinks Canadian men are gentlemen. XD
Canadians are generally nice people and Canadians in the US are generally nice. Thus the impression.
Canadian beliefs are based on having trust in one another, and helping those who are struggling. I will back my statement up by firstly saying that most of us have enough faith in one another, and the law, to leave our car doors and houses unlocked, and even the way our taxes and healthcare works is a perfect example of helping those who would be stuck in a bad situation, get the help they need. As a Canadian, I actually think we're solid lads who are, for the most part worthy of the title 'gentleman' (many exceptions exist of course LMAO).
As someone who finished my bachelors in the USA and now living in Canada, she is right. Canadian are way nicer than Americans, they are better in every aspect that I measure so far.
@@Layput Passive Aggressive = Nice? Okay then. Canadians are famously passive aggressive
i love the honesty in this vid. learnt quite a lot 👌🏾
I like the way you "Smiled" at the very end of the video.
The ponytail guy was the most honest and funny.
Funny how this video has literally 10x times more views than the usual ones, because it's about dating XDD
the girl saying that the babies would be cute is playing 5d ethereal Chess lmao
Ehh... they're thinking one step ahead, but that's about it.
Metis children are always cute
The kids always look like their Asian relatives but they are very cute 🥰
@@timfrederick9305 Thats a weird af dude,
Yeah ... she laugh ... ha ha ha ... be ready for a hell of devastating relationship. I know this kind of woman in Japan, looks like they follow the same pattern ...
They will date you, they will pretend that they like you, just to get involved in a relationship to get pregnant as fast as they can. She will not love you, she will not treat you as a real partner. She will take your child from you, and they will disappear from your life, and you will have to continue paying to her for the child´s care.
I have some friends that falled in love with this kind of asian woman, (they just want to show how cute their babies are, gives them some kind of reputation or something like that) and i promise you, if you want to throw your existence to the toilet, this kind of woman it is perfect for you.
I met lovely Lady from China.She was young and beautiful.She ordered the coffee in the airport and took the seat.I just asked her can I have a seat and she answered yes.
Had a lovely chat about music and scene in London. 6:07
Suddenly I look at my watch and was time for me to catch a flight.
I could see in her eyes she wanted too chat more and sometimes I met Chinese ladies in Thailand
that are quite open too conversation.
Brilliant video. My boyfriend is from Shanghai, and we are very happy. China and England is a perfect mix. I'm sure it doesn't matter the region someone is from. It only matters what your heart says.
Young, naive and no exposure they all were. Kind of adorable how crazy most responses were though haha
I have dated a Chinese American man and I very much enjoyed. I have not dated a man while living in China however. I mostly like good manners and to mostly follow cultural norms of a partner that I like in general. Language isn't an issue for me because hopefully I would not have to say much or having to be explaining myself; As long as they get what I'm about as a person.
