Why do people just keep believing this nonsense? Thank you all for allowing me to speak the truth and spread some light on what's really happening behind closed doors in China, and thank you to Guardio for sponsoring today's video; Protect yourself online with Guardio - guard.io/serpentza
@@sigmaputin6888 the USA isnt pretending there isnt a problem. you arent forbidden to film it or talk about it.. any other dumb questions? also all the places with high homeless in the USA, are the ones run most closely like a communist country. so there is that as well
that's why this video is bull. sure there's a few homeless people everywhere. but he's exaggerating the scale. if china is as authoritarian as he says. and they have ghost cities as he says, and they force people to do whatever ccp say, as he says. china obviously would just house these people. and truth is that's literally what they actually do. they bus them back to the province they came from and give them social housing and benefits there. the reason they remove them from the major cities is because with a population of 1.4billion you can't have the homeless solution being concentrated and solved by the tier 1 cities. it has to be solved regionally dispursed out throughout the whole country. otherwise it would overwhelm the local city government resources. as they would come flooding from all over china. seroentza is a manipulative liar. a half truth is a whole lie.
The us doesn't have ghost cities per se, but just about ANY building you see is chock full of empty rooms. It's possible for both countries to have a problem:))
Can you provide a specific location address? Some of these videos are from China twenty years ago, and some are not even from China. If the author can provide an address, we can easily prove that he is making it up because the environment in the same location has completely changed. However, the author dare not do so because his job is to discredit China.
I've lived in Jinan, Shandong for around 7 years and visited over 20 cities in China , China's poverty is real. I've seen homeless people, I've seen scammers throwing themselves in front of luxurious cars trying to get money, I've seen Shanty towns, I've seen 10 people living in one room, I've seen those underground dormitories where 4 people live in tiny rooms. The only difference between China and India, is that China actively sends its city police to clear out zones of homeless people, especially in big cities and around tourist areas. India doesn't care to clean it up.
I noticed Gerhardt van der Shill hiding the homelessness and the problems, but I can't imagine that Jinan, Shandon could have as much homelessness as anywhere in the whole of India. That seems impossible.
I’m in California. I spent several years being an “urban camper”. Struggled with addiction, unemployment, hunger, etc. Been sober since November 2020. Now have a good job, own my own condo, a new car, and 4 cats.
I recall 20 years ago, when I was 10 years old, I went to China to visit my distant relatives. I can't recall which city we were in, but once we alighted at a shopping district, there was a horde, like 20 beggers rushing towards me and my family begging for money. Some of these beggers did not have all their limbs and were sitting on some make shift paddle board, paddling towards us. It was a core experience that I carry till today, that opened my eyes to poverty.
@@M-Is-For-Margaret just say sorry no and quickly leave. As my distant relatives said that giving to one of them means giving to all of them, and more will come from nearby streets as well.
@@MrNamesNoMore I'm prejudiced. I can say no to a fat beggar. I actually did one time. A short fat blond buggy blue-eyed man came up to me while I was waiting at a bus stop. He told me he was hungry and if I could spare some change. I wasn't apologetic at all when I said sorry no. Another time, there was another fat guy who had cell phones (well before smartphones) hanging off his belt and was busy talking to someone about I don't know what. I had a minimum wage job and didn't have a cell phone. He finished his call, caught up to me and spun a sob story. He cursed me out when I didn't give him any money and followed me for a couple of blocks. 😡
Many children get abducted from rural areas and sold into such begging operations, because people tend to pity little kids so they bring in more money than adults. And do you know what would bring in even more money than little kids begging on the streets? Little kids begging on the streets who “just happen” to be missing a limb or two, injuries that are often inflicted deliberately onto them by those in charge of the begging group. The situation got so bad that even the Chinese media themselves reported on cases where missing children were discovered maimed and disabled, begging on the streets under gang control…
Worst yet...imagine being a country with those problems and having ghost cities that you can use to drop the people there but instead you decide to drop them in the middle of nowhere and also cry because you have a demografic winter.
More than a billion Chinese are treated like slaves. No opposition to the CCP, media has no freedom and the people can't even protest. That makes the US seem like heaven.
@@time2132 You insulted yourself with the comment, and I bet that single 'Like' on it is also yours, so don't get it twisted. The real issue is how you threw up the strawman about "working people" when the OP didn't mention anything about it; the host of the video didn't correlate anything about the homeless people working or not either, just that they are homeless. Do better.
1. China is a complex country with 1.4 billion people that needs to be managed. It is not a country like yours with a population of only a few million to tens of millions. 2 Every country has its own problems. Even under the malicious suppression of you Western countries, China is still the first in terms of economic development, scientific and technological development, and the speed of poverty eradication. It will have a new look almost every three years. Do you discuss videos from 10 years ago or 5 years ago? Note that China is not a Western country like you who builds a bridge and still hasn’t passed the plan after 5 years. Why can't you see that China's 800 million extremely poor people are already developing into the middle class? 3 China has never denied the existence of real homeless people, but you can only use the monotonous word "homeless" to describe the so-called homeless people. In China, they can actually be divided into three parts: 1. Due to urban With the development of society, people from some poor rural areas who come to work in cities are often unwilling to spend money to rent a house just to save money, but they have a home in their hometown; 2 Professional beggars, also called liars, now usually take two-dimensional The code is begging from you; 3 the real homeless people you call them only account for the smallest part, and the first situation is the majority. 4 Why was China extremely poor in the 20th century? Because you Western bandits have shamelessly massacred and plundered China since 1840. Oh, by the way, I almost forgot that Japan also brutally massacred China from 1931 to 1945. What you did to China is like the Anglo-Saxons. They did the same thing to the Indians, and you beasts, never think about using despicable means such as spending $300 million a year to spread false and exaggerated information about China in the 21st century to prevent the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation! By the way, after seeing so many arrogant, ignorant, and arrogant comments, I almost laughed out of yesterday’s meal. This may not be a bad thing. Since China is so backward and the government is so incompetent, please stop spreading the China threat theory. ! After all, China can't be both corrupt and backward and powerful enough to threaten the world, right? Please give us another 10 to 20 years for peaceful development, thank you!
If you really want to understand China, I suggest you learn Chinese first. The Chinese spoken in the original video and the English subtitles translated by him have a huge difference in meaning. As keyboard warriors, besides proving that you are easily brainwashed and manipulated by the media, your righteous indignation is worthless to this world.😅
In EU by far most homeless suffer from addiction and mental issues. They simply cannot live in an appartement or house because of these issues. They first need a lot of help.
@@h.s.6269Mental institutions aren’t designed to rehabilitate people, and they still tend to admit people who are otherwise fixable but highly depressed or in a distressed state.

"There are actually problems in other parts of the world, and these problems have been hidden from you so that your own problems can be weaponized against *you*." That'd be the greatest message of the video, i think.
The USA keeps spending billions of taxpayers monies yearly to covertly invade, marginalize, and regime change of other countries. This money could be better spent on building Low Income Houses for poor working people living in cars in the USA. Therefore these countries have to spend billions on military build ups and weapons in order to defend themselves against the USA, instead of on the welfare of their people
Well everybody expects China to be poor since they have few natural resources per person, they have huge land locked areas, their early governments were corrupt, and their government has had a trade embargo against it.
I lived in China 5 years ago. I used to see a crippled beggar everyday in the summer, he had no legs and would go up and down the streets laid on a skateboard, pulling himself along by his hands, singing while pushing a begging bowl in front of him. Whenever officials or high ranking visitors came to the city, he was conspicuously absent
I live in one of the richest cities in Europe and that shit happens all the time. Whats your point dude. Wow, there are homeless people in china. There are like hundreds of articles writing about homeless population being deported to other parts mostly because of big commercial events, festivals, arrival of politicians all over the world.
Bro…. We are not living in perfect world😂…u ONLY saw 1 beggar during u stay in china? Then the ccp must be doing very well governing china…. I am impressed.😅
@@steven88poo49 I saw a lot of beggars and homeless in China, I said I saw this particular one every day. You need to work on your comprehension skills, shill.
As an American I knew homelessness was not exclusive to us. Just didn't understand the degree to which it is happening in China. Thanks for shedding some light on this. Really eye opening.
homelessness in china is different than fenatyl homelessness in USA .Moreover I don't see them fighting and taking anything they want free of charge from the stores. They are more civilized homeless people
@content_enjoyer4458 that’s the way it should be , don’t you think so ? You steal you get fined , as simple as that . Living in so called ‘free ‘ world doesn’t mean that you get everything for free
@@gabrielbakalarz5722 My questions is why does homelessness even exist in the USA? My guess is the government is too busy funding the military industrial complex or too busy pork spending to invest in fixing the homeless problem, or they just don't give a damn.
Oh my God! So well done. You are a brutally brave guy. I was a Project Manager at Boeing's Worldwide Site Operations, where I had to either go to or send people to every corner of the world. I refused to ever go to China myself (and this was in 2000), and everyone I sent had some disaster befall them. Serious, permanently debilitating food poisoning, detainment for taking pictures of normal people, raids in their 5-star hotel rooms, Honey Pot setups...the whole 9 yards. Was that ending clip real? I thought it was you joking in disguise at first. Again, Well done
"detainment for taking pictures of normal people". That sounds really, really weird. Where in China? When? Why? I (scandinavian) have had BOTH chinese people taking pictures of/together with me (guess I look exotic from their viewpoint) and have taken literally hundreds of pictures in China, and of chinese people. I have been four times to China 2010-2018. Apart from having my stomach taken out by some street food for 2-3 days, expereienced nothing like what you described.
I have an 80-year old Indian man in my writing group who worked as both an Indian and an American diplomat and has published columns in newspapers for decades as well as having published books through Random House. Last week he showed me his latest column in which he noted America's "crumbling infrastructure" and "failing economic growth", stating that the US had only grown its economy 1.5% last year while China was at 5% and India at 6%. I told him that if he really wanted to see crumbling infrastructure to watch your most recent videos on tofu dreg construction in China, and that comparing the growth of developing economies to that of the US was like comparing the growth of an NBA player who was scoring 2-points a game to one who averaged 20. If the low scorer improved to 10-points they have made a huge jump and likely improved more than the 20-point guy, but there is still a HUGE gap in skill level and who is achieving more. When I also told him China's economic growth was largely "smoke and mirrors" and mentioned Evergrande's collapse, he just waved his hand and un-diplomatically dismissed everything I said claiming I was misinterpreting his piece. But it was all there in black and white, and very, very simplistic. It was a column that ran in my local newspaper but it could have ran in a Chinese state paper without one word being censored.
We in India have more people like him in our govt and civil society..the "useful idiots" like the Indian diplomat you mentioned are on payroll of CCP, and even if they are not in CCP payroll they have other benefits they get from CCP, like access and business kickbacks. Worst kind of people you can have in your country..the bloody fifth coloumn. Ugh
No perfect systems, but 1 life long leader with his 1 gang party system, even war more likely as proven by Russia the 2rd time total invasion, may be soon invasion into Taiwan. Guess nearest system to what you were say, will be voted happiest northern counties in Europe, (also have homeless but softer) very democratic with high trust between citizens to citizens and citizens to government.
Only been to China once and it was for about 10 days. The homeless I saw in Beijing was really hard to see, especially when it was December and absolutely freezing
The thing is, this isn't even a recent phenomenon. I was in Guangzhou in 2010, and as the Asian Games season closed in, the beggars and homeless people just disappeared. Not to mentions things went back to "normal" after the event.
I saw a horrible video from China once: There was this chinese homeless alcoholic lady, and a chinese couple doused her in gasoline and stood there laughing as she was burned alive!!! I was scarred for life after seeing that video!
Great stuff Winston!!! Thanks for looking out for those less fortunate. People from around the world appreciate what you do and why you do it!! No matter how people catergorize this type of media; whether they call it propaganda, stereotyping, misleading, on point, alternative, etc... It doesn't matter, because real is REAL and like I said, "we" appreciate you and your efforts!!
@@annan7728 Winston's videos are made of a collage of film clips but that doesn't make his narrative false or untrue. The homeless people sleeping on the streets aren't fabrications, they're real. You can believe what you want but that doesn't change what's really happening in China.
“There are problems around the world, so that your own problems can be weaponized against you.” Man you have my respect! Thank you for saying it out laud. All of it.
You just don’t know China, you will be shocked to know what China is really like. If you ever travel there. Western controlled media is such a filthy place, full of lies.

Great episode Mr. Serpentza; I remembered seeing homelessness people in Guangzhou early morning collecting cardboards and looking inside the trash for food and recyclables.
One time I got stupid drunk in NYC and made my way to Penn Station after all the trains stopped. The homeless were all huddled in the train station as it was cold outside, and they were the nicest people I have met. I had some good discussions with some of them and shared some warm drinks and snacks. It's a shame that we treat them so badly as its underserved.
@@BleachDemon707 There is always someone who will talk against someone who shows the reality as it is in China There is always someone who takes the strength of truth and turns against the truth teller The truth will always come out, always, always!!
@@loadingnewads. Ah to be brainwashed. How much does the Chinese government pay you to come here and comment? He must be telling the absolute truth because you are just commenting like crazy and the truth scares the Chinese government. 😂
NO IT IS NOT. I live in and care about America, not China. I could not care less if china started shooting them. Ain't my people. Ain't my problem. Ain't nothing I could do about it anyway. Frankly, this video sounds a lot like "whataboutism" You think it's bad in America, oh, you should see China. They are so much worse blah blah blah.
I think Americans should worry about their own problems before they try to help anyone else. You're deflecting the problems in the US over a country on the other side of the world. Whataboutism goes both ways.
@@tarstarkusz Yes, we can do many things, even, when it comes to China. Maybe not with their homelessness issue, but their genocidal actions against the minorities there, with the fact of the new horrors, after Italians helped and taught Chinese the modern practice of transplantology, the outrageous actions in Tibet and persecutions of people for their faith. Only we, the West, are not going to do it, because China is our trading partner and in the today's world, money mean much more, than solidarity with weak and poor. So we are telling ourselves, there is nothing we can do anyway.
An acquaintance of mine spent years in China and she actually praised them for their lack of homelessness. It’s scary the control China can have over information like this.
Its odd. Since China is communist, they should do what communist USSR did, loitering was illegal in USSR, they detained homeless people and sent them to various paid labor by force. After a few months of working they released them with all the money they earned by work and let them try their chances in life again. For some people it worked, for some antisocial persons it didn't and after awhile they get caught and sent to work again. But bottom line is, government never abandoned its people, it always tried to do something to straighten them up.
The big difference between the homeless in the USA and China is people actually try to help the homeless in the USA. There actual charities and government services for the homeless.
Yes, Chinese people are always busy and they usually just don’t want to give a help… Good Luck to those who helped the homeless people, and hope the US can solve the drug problem soon!
I don't know about that dude shelters sound like horror stories, we don't have rehab centers to help them gain independence and in some places vagrancy will get you locked up. atleast we don't send them off into the wildness in the middle of no where.
This makes me very sad. I was raised by my grandparents in China when my birth mother left me. That was during Mao’s time. We were all poor then but I don’t remember seeing homeless people. It hurts my heart to see so much suffering and they’re treated like trash.
@@MaxLe-z8yThe homeless people are hidden. It doesnt mean they are not there 😂 my country in Europe tries to hide them too by placing them is a homeless shelter and they are not allowed to put out tents. This to keep the streets safe. But homelessness is not that common here either in my country. In fact I barely see them in the biggest cities. And those that might be homeless which I am not sure because they still look well enough and dressed. They play guitar.
Thank you for exposing the issue. I left South Africa in 2020 after 30 years. There, the homeless problem is obvious. I'm now in Poland, and I rarely see homeless people. The city council put out fridges where people put food out for the homeless.
@@MGood-ij1hi There are no homeless, hungry people in Antarctica. At least not for very long at a time. Aside from that, there are homeless everywhere. Quantity and severity do, of course, differ from country to country.
@@MGood-ij1hi Yes. I completely forgot to mention when I wrote my comment about one factor. On my tax return, 1% of my tax goes to charity. I picked a local shelter for homeless men. I understand that they have a very strict no alcohol / drugs policy, hence worth suporting.
I'm an American living in France. There's a homeless problem here. Also lived in Germany. There's a homeless problem there. There's a homeless problem in Italy and Spain (arguably worse than here in France). There's one in Great Britain. Worked most of my professional life in Africa and Haiti. A little bit in Mexico and Kuwait. There are major homeless problems in those places (although it is less problematic for the governments of those countries). It's important to distinguish between the different TYPES of homeless people. In the U.S. it used to be primarily crazy people; the small subset of people who would refuse to go to a shelter anyway, no matter what. Don't know if that's the case in San Fran these days. Here in the E.U. and Great Britain it's mostly illegal immigrants from other new E.U. countries or North/West Africa. In the "Third World" it's a natural outcome of a generally low level of income for nearly everyone. The important point that needs to be stressed here is that it is the oppressive Chinese government that purposefully goes out of its way to not fix the problem, but DOES go out of its way to hide it from the international community. Russia apparently does the same thing (although I think Moscow simply removes them to the perimeter of the city, as opposed to dropping them off in the countryside many miles away).
The homeless problem is going global at this time. Looking at our cities homeless population is disheartening. Drug addictions and mental illnesses are prevalent. Even the elderly whom are sick are being thrown into the streets.
"The homeless problem is going global at this time". Nailed it! Right on the Money, as the WEF/Klaus Schwab have said. You'll own nothing and be happy. Welcome to the implementation of the New World Order.
its not going global, it has always been global. before these times, the homeless weren't homeless, they weren't even human. they were known as 'swine' and died en masse. at times, things would be so bad that there couldn't be any homeless people because they were all dead before sleeping a full night in the open

I am an Indian. I used to envy chinese rapid development. Then, I came across your videos. It changes my perspective. Freedom is far more important than economic development. Birds in the sky are happier than birds trapped in golden cage. Sadly, Western Media always show India in bad light and completely disregard hard work done by govt.

6 years ago, China did have such a problem. The homeless are only concentrated in a few cities. They are lazy people. They all have their own houses in the countryside. They go to the city for work. Because they are lazy, they can‘t make money and refuse to return to the countryside. Nowadays, almost no homeless person can be seen in all Chinese cities, because the social assistance system helps them build confidence in vocational training and return to normal life.
I'm American and I've been to about 45 countries around the world. In my experience, the poor were the kindest most generous people to me. Every time I was in trouble somewhere in the world, even in countries not friendly to the US, it was always people with little that helped me. Sometimes sharing their food or offering me a place to sleep while looking after me. I'm 70 years of age now and I still have and treasure little trinkets given to me to travel well or protect me from danger, such things as a Koran, sea shells, Budda medallions, crucifixes, beads, a tiny bible written in Tamil... little things which have no monetary value but mean the world to me. It saddens me immensely to see humanity fall to such low levels with government efforts only to cover it all up. Can we all pause preparing for war a little and focus a little more on economic development beginning with food and basic housing production? Can we (all countries on Earth) just stop pointing fingers and begin helping our own then others that are slow to start? Maybe then we'll have no need to prepare for war... at lease not so much. Great vid Winston, I hope your viewers... ALL your viewers including ones that hate us, pause a moment and redirect their hate and blame into making the world or their country or their city or just their city block a better place.

While most of the homeless in the US its more drugs and mental health playing into that. Both arent good scenarios
@oneblessedladyallsbrook1057 not the same. U.S. does have areas that are pretty bad, but the scale is just not the same. It's illegal to acknowledge, let alone help them in China.
I’ve seen homeless people in China myself. Elderly people abandoned by their grown children mostly, but some younger people too, including those with kids to raise. China deals with it the same way they deal with every other problem, by ignoring it and silencing those that talk about it.
It's crazy anyone would believe that China doesn't have a homelessness problem. It's an unavoidable consequence of it's economic model. The same as in the US.

The difference between the homeless problem in the America vs China is this... in America, if you sincerely have the desire to get out of your homelessness, you can. There are organizations and folks who will help you do so. This is not the case in China.
Yeah, but the sad thing is, here in the USA, those people seem to have chosen that lifestyle. They also tend to be mentally unstable or addicted to drugs. So very few of them are going to want to change.
@@nerychristian Yes, the key word is "chosen". And I do agree, it's a chosen lifestyle that leads to no good. But nevertheless, they chose that. And we all would hope that one day they make better choices, but they do have the choice.
I would argue health care would have something to do with the American homeless problem over medication leads to drug addiction and opioid addiction which is apparent very hard break free of
The homeless problem is no diffrent than the build up to the boxer rebellion that caused the opium wars. Huge difference with them CCP failing as a state and causing millions to be homeless.
The biggest nation of liars is indeed the west, particularly america. Until now, they continue to produce lies abt China , and they dnt care abt the numerous western individuals who create vlogs in China sharing their own firsthand accounts of the true situations in the country. The western nations especially america still aim to maintain their white supremacy through divisive tactics , manufacturing hoaxes. Of those methods fail , they resort to using military force to cripple nations that refuse to submit to america and replace their leaders with individual who can be controlled by america. America has double standards. The world is fed up with such methods. The world is tired of such dirty tactics. U can only find true western gentlemen in Holywood movie, not in the real world

It's not bad mouthing other countries, it's shedding light on horrible situations that people either know nothing about or CHOOSE to want to know nothing about (like my man at the end there). The truth is, EVERY country has problems. Some worse than others, yes. But there is no "utopia" anywhere and people need to understand this!
Listen, Winston SerpenzA spent over 16 years in China and knows that these people are not really homeless. These are migrant workers from the countryside who left to take part in the building boom, and refuses to spend money on rent or hotel bill, in order to send more money back home. They have homes, farmlands, and all the social services back home. Do a little research
No. It's clearly biased "journalism". Sometimes it contains truths and half-truths, yes, but that just makes it so people swallow it easier, and it's frightening how many people actually refuse to be critical on the claims made, but rather regard it as gospel. For instance, the same guy made a vid about EV's in China being "let to rot away" in the ten-thousands. Almost all people in the forum were, once again, swallowing whatever he said. I, instead, investigated it further, which was extremely difficult because - if you hadn't noticed - he never cites any sources, not even third-party datasets. So I manually researched all the area's where in the vid it could be discerned at which place it purported to be, and looked at recent google map images: of the three spots where he claimed tens of thousands of cars were just rotting away in huge parking lots because of China's proclaimed inefficiency, only ONE place showed having those parked EV cars; about 40, NOT 20000... At the other places he claimed where they were rotting, the parking lots were all empty. The most logical conclusion is, that these cars were and are not there to "rot" as he claims, but to be sold - and have been sold. Yet no-one ever bothers to check his stories, and especially when he makes an appeal on emotions, most people's brains just stop working. During the research I did on his stories, about 20% was true, 50% were half-truths (or half-lies, depending on how you look at it) or strenuous exaggerations, and about 30% were outright lies or complete confabulations. Moral of the story: one should ALWAYS regard such biased emo-driven stories and vids that clearly try to always spin a certain narrative, with caution and a good dose of skepticism.
@@AniMageNeBy--- Well said. What these youtubers do not understand is, if they are honest and objective they will get tons of subscribers. For instance they would show the dirtiest of China's toilets, but never explain or show that millions of brand new toilets are being built and installed. They never explain that China has so much to change for it's 1.4 billion population, therefore it will take time. No, it's all negatives
@@AniMageNeBy 40 cars, you say, and you have checked Google Maps images. Provide me with the coordinates. I can actually count and even in this short video, I see more than 40 cars. You are just cherry-picking everything he is saying and trying to make it look like he is lying. But you know, I grew up in a war-torn country, and once you learn what actual honesty is, and how true evil looks like, you can see it from miles away. China is an underdeveloped and inefficient nation, and your government is walking over the corpses of your own people, obliterating their hope. Name me one thing that China invented by themselves that they did not copy or steal from other countries. But because of this, people like him, people like me, have been made aware what you really are. The money he makes from this is nothing compared to the danger he is putting himself into. He might not be the one who will stop someone that is tearing down someone else's art display because it does display China as it is because he is not a man prone to violence. And he does not have to be. You see, knowing what I know now, I would be the one that would rip 5 of these maggots apart by myself. I do not like violence, but in this case, I would not even think a second. You say you did research? Make a video, present it, prove he is lying. Moral of the story: Sell that shit somewhere else.
@@AniMageNeBy The only way you Could have researched this, was if you were living there. But then you wouldn't be able to get information out. You just try to polish up the Chinese image again. With claims You cannot prove. It's just your word against his. And guess what, your word is worth shit.
life turns on a dime. things change. people change. sometimes something out of the blue rocks your world. i have been homeless, people say there is no need to be homeless or you have family - who might be the problem you cannot return to. my heart goes out to all the people filmed. thank you for trying to help people and suffering detriment as a result @serpentza You are a good man.
I visited Shanghai in 2019 with my (now ex) wife and was amazed by seeing zero homelessness. She told me there was plenty while growing up there, but that they "sent them to the lower tier cities".
Homelessness is either due to laziness and unwillingness to do hard work, or mental illness. The government has many measures to help homeless people. Some people find jobs or travel long distances because they are not wealthy and do not have the money to stay in hotels. They also sleep on the streets, but there are very few homeless people in China as a whole, and it is not like sending people to second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth tier cities
The fact you’re so responsive is crazy for such a large channel. I can tell you really care about this stuff so I just want to say thank you for being such a great resource for info on the Chinese government. Keep it up man🙌

America's homeless people have access to resources such as food medical and shelter.Should they take advantage of those resources given to them?They also have access to job placement programs a lot of homeless in america reject these programs available to them. For various reasons such as psychological issues, drug issues alcoholism. Americans homeless people have no reason to be homeless only that they choose to be homeless
To address Cali’s homeless issue, please read Michael Shellenberger’s “San Fran Sicko”. I ran a homeless ministry out of a church for a decade some 25 years ago. It’s far worse than ever now.
"worldwide issue", you're talking crap because the percentage of homeless people in the west is minimum compared to their populations (especially in countries like Finland, Norway, Iceland, Ireland, et al) and many of those homeless refuse to live in a settled community.
@@j.jwhitty5861 Homelessness IS a worldwide issue. Obviously its worse in some countries than others. Dont you see the issue that some people can be homeless by choice in the west because the state provides them with everything they need.
Serpentza should be happy that he came to China in the early days so he took some of those footage. Those footages also remind me of the past, mostly over 10 years before. The most in the footage come from poor rural China, they try to earn money in the city and then come back to their hometown. To save money in rest, they sit on the street side, lie on the ground of the station temporarily, and even live in the tunnel for a few days. Strictly speaking, they are not homeless, they will return to their hometown with or without money finally. You can distinguish them from the real beggars (also in the footage) by their young age and packages, they don't eat in garbage. It's very difficult to see such people in China cities from tier 1 to tier 5 now, you can check it by yourself. The most important reason is that rural China's living improved a lot in recent years, every villager has his land to plant without agriculture tax, and social insurance has been implemented, which makes people earn their living much easier, at least enough food and common medical treatment is not a problem anymore. I say this because I do see the changes with my eyes. The second reason, it’s hard to find young cheap laborers in China now after those many years’ one-child policy. If you are willing to work as a waiter, a deliverer, or a worker standing in front of the assembly line, it's easy for you to find a job in the city. The third, the wanderers who need help indeed, for example, those incapable of making a living by themselves because of illness or mental disease are taken care of in the rescue stations in the city. Finally, there are very few people who devote themselves to begging, e.g., professional beggars, it's sorry that they don't have the freedom of begging here because China is arbitrary. They will be sent back to where they come from, where their family or relatives help to educate them. I write this doesn't mean that there is no problem in China, on the contrary, I do think there are a lot of things that need to be improved, but not this one. I just want you to know a real China.
I see it! (From Australia). I saw a similar thing, sort of, in Tokyo. Large numbers of homeless at train stations. One guy had the ability to stand motionless at Kinshicho Stn. for hours on end in the freezing cold. He looked like a garden gnome (1999). He'd be there when I went to work and still there when I went home. The guys in the cardboard boxes seem to be doing better. I gave one, (only one) guy a couple thousand Yen, but... I was overwhelmed. When I got back to Australia in 2005, I discovered homelessness to be a new problem in Brisbane ( a good city to be homeless in since it has a very short winter) Generally, people seem to care much more about "Climate Change" and LGBTQ.
I must say I agree with you everybody’s focus on America’s homelessness issue when everybody knows that it’s happening in China and all over the world . Thank you sir for everything that you’re doing by showcasing what’s really going on around in China that takes guts and courage in my book you can call yourself a hero for the people that speaks out❤ on this issues and much more🍻🇸🇪
The Metaphor with the open and closed doors is probably the best way to explain China to someone, who isn't as interested in China as we are and/or can't believe how much China censors.
Thank you so much for doing this! Acknowledge the problem is the first step to solving it, and if one truly care for their fellow countrymen’s misfortune, one will respect and support this video and its maker.
You are being fooled by this video which doesn't represent the current China. The video clips are decades old. People sleeping on streets in China cities are migrate workers from villages where these people have homes and farmlands. The only city in China that has real homeless people like the US is Hong Kong, which is governed under a different system.
@@hyc1266 For starter, the divorced rural area women don't have access to farmlands because they are excluded from the land allocation process by village rules. I personally know some of them trying to visit the central government to complain and change this process but got followed and murdered (by a high-speed bus out of nowhere) on their way there. The rest of the lucky ones made their way back alive were either jailed or harassed relentlessly by local government. Some of the men (like those from Sanhe famously) become homeless because of huge debts resulted from being scammed ruthlessly, causing them unable to go back to their counties of origin and relying on the only resources however humble.
Thank you for this! Every country in the world has homeless and it’s time that they are treated with compassion and kindness all over the world. Instead of war , power and money our leaders should be talking about coming together and helping the less fortunate and this is how we all should know that none of our leaders are fit to lead any of us even out of a paper bag. If our leaders and countries would just come together our world could be doing amazing things but the people who have our money just want more and they hate us all equally and they will never help the world become a better place. We have to do that and we never can until we get rid of these horrible greedy people in charge. We care about all people homeless and rich, large and small. Thank you to the people in China who are getting this out, you are amazing people who truly love your country and all of its people.
It is' 'heartbreaking''' that in this age of technology where people can do their own research, people are still gullible. These ''homeless''' are migrants from the provinces where they were born, with homes, farms and all the necessary social services, They left home for the building boom, and decided it's better to sleep under the bridges thus saving on rent and hotel bills. Look up the hukou system in China
Amazing video, as always. You're incredibly brave! It's so refreshing and encouraging hearing the truth and seeing the compassion and kindness you have, sir. Stay awesome!!!
It’s important we cover other parts of the world’s homeless problems too. Thanks for sharing! Sadly some of this is what is being done here too. The city I live (30 some miles outside of LA) a few years ago forced all the homeless out. They were sleeping on the fountain park lawn. People who lived there were giving them food and water. The government had the police force them all out and arrested anyone who would give them food or water. They basically rounded them up in a police van like criminals and dumped them in Skid Row. It was very sad. A few I had talked to were Vietnam Veterans who have been permanently injured due to the war and nobody was helping them. Same thing happened in a nearby city shopping center streets. It makes me so sad that governments think they can harass and do whatever they want to the homeless, be annoyed at them… yet don’t help them out of the homeless situation they are in. Finland is the only country I feel has got this right. Edit: grammar and spelling
Sadly, it is true. I was in Tianjin in the middle of june. I have the habit to go out for a walk every night. You can see plenty of homless people getting out in the dark. Normall they try to stay away from crowded roads. I was in Shanghai one week ago and again, I was astonished to see the amount of homless people (even entire families) hiding and laying in some places where they could spend their night avoiding harassment by the authorities. Shanghai has impressed me the most because i remember it as a dynamic city. I cannot disclose the area where I was in order to avoid troubles for those miserables. However, the trend is going up. Even in Yantai, in this very moment. The area near the so called "golden beach" (how ironic), after 11pm you start seeing these "zombies" coming out to spending the night "under the shooting stars"... As I recall, the battle against the poverty was won, am I wrong?
I just thought of something. I wonder how they survived the lockdowns. Perhaps they all had jobs or businesses around then but lost it and went through their savings.
Did you ask those "zombies" why they came out to spend their night "under the shooting stars"? Did you ask the family that was hiding and laying in some place quietly whether they were hiding from the authority and where were the family during the day and how they hide from the authority?
Thank you for your work, Serpenza. When I lived in Tianjin in 1993, there were homeless, but not to this extent. Everybody had a cement floor place to live, with just enough room for two beds and a kitchen the size of the train bathroom.
Why do people just keep believing this nonsense? Thank you all for allowing me to speak the truth and spread some light on what's really happening behind closed doors in China, and thank you to Guardio for sponsoring today's video; Protect yourself online with Guardio - guard.io/serpentza

and truth is that's literally what they actually do.
they bus them back to the province they came from and give them social housing and benefits there.
the reason they remove them from the major cities is because with a population of 1.4billion you can't have the homeless solution being concentrated and solved by the tier 1 cities.
it has to be solved regionally dispursed out throughout the whole country. otherwise it would overwhelm the local city government resources. as they would come flooding from all over china.

The only difference between China and India, is that China actively sends its city police to clear out zones of homeless people, especially in big cities and around tourist areas. India doesn't care to clean it up.
Cant "Clean" up what cant be cleaned up, it will only be moved somewhere else, they gotto make homes for these people, they have alot of ghost towns.

I recall 20 years ago, when I was 10 years old, I went to China to visit my distant relatives. I can't recall which city we were in, but once we alighted at a shopping district, there was a horde, like 20 beggers rushing towards me and my family begging for money. Some of these beggers did not have all their limbs and were sitting on some make shift paddle board, paddling towards us. It was a core experience that I carry till today, that opened my eyes to poverty.
What did the adults do? Did they throw some money and run? Or say sorry, no...
@@M-Is-For-Margaret just say sorry no and quickly leave. As my distant relatives said that giving to one of them means giving to all of them, and more will come from nearby streets as well.
@@MrNamesNoMore I'm prejudiced. I can say no to a fat beggar. I actually did one time. A short fat blond buggy blue-eyed man came up to me while I was waiting at a bus stop. He told me he was hungry and if I could spare some change. I wasn't apologetic at all when I said sorry no. Another time, there was another fat guy who had cell phones (well before smartphones) hanging off his belt and was busy talking to someone about I don't know what. I had a minimum wage job and didn't have a cell phone. He finished his call, caught up to me and spun a sob story. He cursed me out when I didn't give him any money and followed me for a couple of blocks. 😡
Many children get abducted from rural areas and sold into such begging operations, because people tend to pity little kids so they bring in more money than adults. And do you know what would bring in even more money than little kids begging on the streets? Little kids begging on the streets who “just happen” to be missing a limb or two, injuries that are often inflicted deliberately onto them by those in charge of the begging group. The situation got so bad that even the Chinese media themselves reported on cases where missing children were discovered maimed and disabled, begging on the streets under gang control…
@@M-Is-For-Margaret doesn't make a difference does it?
Imagine being homeless, having no ID, no money, no phone and being kidnapped and dropped in the middle of nowhere. This is murder

额 他说的有一句是真的吗 作为一个在中国生活了25年的中国人 我真觉得你们很可悲 这种媒体剪辑一个视频就把你们弄得很愤慨 你们真的很可悲
1. China is a complex country with 1.4 billion people that needs to be managed. It is not a country like yours with a population of only a few million to tens of millions.
2 Every country has its own problems. Even under the malicious suppression of you Western countries, China is still the first in terms of economic development, scientific and technological development, and the speed of poverty eradication. It will have a new look almost every three years. Do you discuss videos from 10 years ago or 5 years ago? Note that China is not a Western country like you who builds a bridge and still hasn’t passed the plan after 5 years. Why can't you see that China's 800 million extremely poor people are already developing into the middle class?
3 China has never denied the existence of real homeless people, but you can only use the monotonous word "homeless" to describe the so-called homeless people. In China, they can actually be divided into three parts: 1. Due to urban With the development of society, people from some poor rural areas who come to work in cities are often unwilling to spend money to rent a house just to save money, but they have a home in their hometown; 2 Professional beggars, also called liars, now usually take two-dimensional The code is begging from you; 3 the real homeless people you call them only account for the smallest part, and the first situation is the majority.
4 Why was China extremely poor in the 20th century? Because you Western bandits have shamelessly massacred and plundered China since 1840. Oh, by the way, I almost forgot that Japan also brutally massacred China from 1931 to 1945. What you did to China is like the Anglo-Saxons. They did the same thing to the Indians, and you beasts, never think about using despicable means such as spending $300 million a year to spread false and exaggerated information about China in the 21st century to prevent the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation!
By the way, after seeing so many arrogant, ignorant, and arrogant comments, I almost laughed out of yesterday’s meal. This may not be a bad thing. Since China is so backward and the government is so incompetent, please stop spreading the China threat theory. ! After all, China can't be both corrupt and backward and powerful enough to threaten the world, right? Please give us another 10 to 20 years for peaceful development, thank you!

The USA keeps spending billions of taxpayers monies yearly to covertly invade, marginalize, and regime change of other countries.

If the low scorer improved to 10-points they have made a huge jump and likely improved more than the 20-point guy, but there is still a HUGE gap in skill level and who is achieving more. When I also told him China's economic growth was largely "smoke and mirrors" and mentioned Evergrande's collapse, he just waved his hand and un-diplomatically dismissed everything I said claiming I was misinterpreting his piece. But it was all there in black and white, and very, very simplistic. It was a column that ran in my local newspaper but it could have ran in a Chinese state paper without one word being censored.

Great episode Mr. Serpentza; I remembered seeing homelessness people in Guangzhou early morning collecting cardboards and looking inside the trash for food and recyclables.
One time I got stupid drunk in NYC and made my way to Penn Station after all the trains stopped. The homeless were all huddled in the train station as it was cold outside, and they were the nicest people I have met. I had some good discussions with some of them and shared some warm drinks and snacks. It's a shame that we treat them so badly as its underserved.

Its odd. Since China is communist, they should do what communist USSR did, loitering was illegal in USSR, they detained homeless people and sent them to various paid labor by force. After a few months of working they released them with all the money they earned by work and let them try their chances in life again. For some people it worked, for some antisocial persons it didn't and after awhile they get caught and sent to work again. But bottom line is, government never abandoned its people, it always tried to do something to straighten them up.

@@MGood-ij1hi There are no homeless, hungry people in Antarctica. At least not for very long at a time.

@@MGood-ij1hi Yes. I completely forgot to mention when I wrote my comment about one factor. On my tax return, 1% of my tax goes to charity. I picked a local shelter for homeless men. I understand that they have a very strict no alcohol / drugs policy, hence worth suporting.
I'm an American living in France. There's a homeless problem here. Also lived in Germany. There's a homeless problem there. There's a homeless problem in Italy and Spain (arguably worse than here in France). There's one in Great Britain. Worked most of my professional life in Africa and Haiti. A little bit in Mexico and Kuwait. There are major homeless problems in those places (although it is less problematic for the governments of those countries). It's important to distinguish between the different TYPES of homeless people. In the U.S. it used to be primarily crazy people; the small subset of people who would refuse to go to a shelter anyway, no matter what. Don't know if that's the case in San Fran these days. Here in the E.U. and Great Britain it's mostly illegal immigrants from other new E.U. countries or North/West Africa. In the "Third World" it's a natural outcome of a generally low level of income for nearly everyone. The important point that needs to be stressed here is that it is the oppressive Chinese government that purposefully goes out of its way to not fix the problem, but DOES go out of its way to hide it from the international community. Russia apparently does the same thing (although I think Moscow simply removes them to the perimeter of the city, as opposed to dropping them off in the countryside many miles away).
Its not a homeless problem its a human rights issue

6 years ago, China did have such a problem. The homeless are only concentrated in a few cities. They are lazy people. They all have their own houses in the countryside. They go to the city for work. Because they are lazy, they can‘t make money and refuse to return to the countryside. Nowadays, almost no homeless person can be seen in all Chinese cities, because the social assistance system helps them build confidence in vocational training and return to normal life.
I'm American and I've been to about 45 countries around the world. In my experience, the poor were the kindest most generous people to me. Every time I was in trouble somewhere in the world, even in countries not friendly to the US, it was always people with little that helped me. Sometimes sharing their food or offering me a place to sleep while looking after me. I'm 70 years of age now and I still have and treasure little trinkets given to me to travel well or protect me from danger, such things as a Koran, sea shells, Budda medallions, crucifixes, beads, a tiny bible written in Tamil... little things which have no monetary value but mean the world to me. It saddens me immensely to see humanity fall to such low levels with government efforts only to cover it all up. Can we all pause preparing for war a little and focus a little more on economic development beginning with food and basic housing production? Can we (all countries on Earth) just stop pointing fingers and begin helping our own then others that are slow to start? Maybe then we'll have no need to prepare for war... at lease not so much.

Just found your channel a few days ago. THIS is the type of stuff I look for in journalism (as should everyone). It's not bad mouthing other countries, it's shedding light on horrible situations that people either know nothing about or CHOOSE to want to know nothing about (like my man at the end there). The truth is, EVERY country has problems. Some worse than others, yes. But there is no "utopia" anywhere and people need to understand this!
Listen, Winston SerpenzA spent over 16 years in China and knows that these people are not really homeless. These are migrant workers from the countryside who left to take part in the building boom, and refuses to spend money on rent or hotel bill, in order to send more money back home. They have homes, farmlands, and all the social services back home. Do a little research
No. It's clearly biased "journalism". Sometimes it contains truths and half-truths, yes, but that just makes it so people swallow it easier, and it's frightening how many people actually refuse to be critical on the claims made, but rather regard it as gospel.
For instance, the same guy made a vid about EV's in China being "let to rot away" in the ten-thousands. Almost all people in the forum were, once again, swallowing whatever he said. I, instead, investigated it further, which was extremely difficult because - if you hadn't noticed - he never cites any sources, not even third-party datasets. So I manually researched all the area's where in the vid it could be discerned at which place it purported to be, and looked at recent google map images: of the three spots where he claimed tens of thousands of cars were just rotting away in huge parking lots because of China's proclaimed inefficiency, only ONE place showed having those parked EV cars; about 40, NOT 20000... At the other places he claimed where they were rotting, the parking lots were all empty.
The most logical conclusion is, that these cars were and are not there to "rot" as he claims, but to be sold - and have been sold. Yet no-one ever bothers to check his stories, and especially when he makes an appeal on emotions, most people's brains just stop working. During the research I did on his stories, about 20% was true, 50% were half-truths (or half-lies, depending on how you look at it) or strenuous exaggerations, and about 30% were outright lies or complete confabulations.
Moral of the story: one should ALWAYS regard such biased emo-driven stories and vids that clearly try to always spin a certain narrative, with caution and a good dose of skepticism.
@@AniMageNeBy--- Well said. What these youtubers do not understand is, if they are honest and objective they will get tons of subscribers. For instance they would show the dirtiest of China's toilets, but never explain or show that millions of brand new toilets are being built and installed. They never explain that China has so much to change for it's 1.4 billion population, therefore it will take time. No, it's all negatives
@@AniMageNeBy 40 cars, you say, and you have checked Google Maps images. Provide me with the coordinates. I can actually count and even in this short video, I see more than 40 cars. You are just cherry-picking everything he is saying and trying to make it look like he is lying. But you know, I grew up in a war-torn country, and once you learn what actual honesty is, and how true evil looks like, you can see it from miles away. China is an underdeveloped and inefficient nation, and your government is walking over the corpses of your own people, obliterating their hope. Name me one thing that China invented by themselves that they did not copy or steal from other countries. But because of this, people like him, people like me, have been made aware what you really are. The money he makes from this is nothing compared to the danger he is putting himself into. He might not be the one who will stop someone that is tearing down someone else's art display because it does display China as it is because he is not a man prone to violence. And he does not have to be. You see, knowing what I know now, I would be the one that would rip 5 of these maggots apart by myself. I do not like violence, but in this case, I would not even think a second. You say you did research? Make a video, present it, prove he is lying. Moral of the story: Sell that shit somewhere else.
@@AniMageNeBy The only way you Could have researched this, was if you were living there. But then you wouldn't be able to get information out.
You just try to polish up the Chinese image again. With claims You cannot prove. It's just your word against his. And guess what, your word is worth shit.
I’m wondering if people break into the vacant city properties and live there. It sounds like lots of vacant buildings? Or is that a death sentence?
life turns on a dime. things change. people change. sometimes something out of the blue rocks your world. i have been homeless, people say there is no need to be homeless or you have family - who might be the problem you cannot return to. my heart goes out to all the people filmed. thank you for trying to help people and suffering detriment as a result @serpentza You are a good man.
I visited Shanghai in 2019 with my (now ex) wife and was amazed by seeing zero homelessness. She told me there was plenty while growing up there, but that they "sent them to the lower tier cities".
Homelessness is either due to laziness and unwillingness to do hard work, or mental illness. The government has many measures to help homeless people. Some people find jobs or travel long distances because they are not wealthy and do not have the money to stay in hotels. They also sleep on the streets, but there are very few homeless people in China as a whole, and it is not like sending people to second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth tier cities
@@makeergod4153 lol
I’m very thankful for your effort and dedication to raising awareness about issues in China. Truly.
"But what about America?!" Its just a coward attitude, just pushing the problem to someone else
The fact you’re so responsive is crazy for such a large channel. I can tell you really care about this stuff so I just want to say thank you for being such a great resource for info on the Chinese government. Keep it up man🙌
I live in Philadelphia, I worked in Kensington. It's as bad as people say and even worse
Imagine being out in the freezing cold and some heartless excuse for a human being comes along and hoses you and the few things you have down with a pressure washer. That is beyond evil. I'd go as far as calling it attempted murder.

Do you know what DICTATOR mean ?? it mean SATAN .
America's homeless people have access to resources such as food medical and shelter.Should they take advantage of those resources given to them?They also have access to job placement programs a lot of homeless in america reject these programs available to them. For various reasons such as psychological issues, drug issues alcoholism. Americans homeless people have no reason to be homeless only that they choose to be homeless
To address Cali’s homeless issue, please read Michael Shellenberger’s “San Fran Sicko”. I ran a homeless ministry out of a church for a decade some 25 years ago. It’s far worse than ever now.
Mathew 8:20 🤔
No money for the disadvantaged , endless money for the military, this is a worldwide issue.
"worldwide issue", you're talking crap because the percentage of homeless people in the west is minimum compared to their populations (especially in countries like Finland, Norway, Iceland, Ireland, et al) and many of those homeless refuse to live in a settled community.
yeah no help for our own people. but we will send billions to ukraine lol. and ukraine is just the most recent bs cash grab.
@@j.jwhitty5861 Homelessness IS a worldwide issue. Obviously its worse in some countries than others.
Dont you see the issue that some people can be homeless by choice in the west because the state provides them with everything they need.
actually only in US, Chinese military budget only take 1%-2% of its GDP
or less
Stay strong man. You are doing a great job.
Serpentza should be happy that he came to China in the early days so he took some of those footage. Those footages also remind me of the past, mostly over 10 years before. The most in the footage come from poor rural China, they try to earn money in the city and then come back to their hometown. To save money in rest, they sit on the street side, lie on the ground of the station temporarily, and even live in the tunnel for a few days. Strictly speaking, they are not homeless, they will return to their hometown with or without money finally. You can distinguish them from the real beggars (also in the footage) by their young age and packages, they don't eat in garbage.
It's very difficult to see such people in China cities from tier 1 to tier 5 now, you can check it by yourself. The most important reason is that rural China's living improved a lot in recent years, every villager has his land to plant without agriculture tax, and social insurance has been implemented, which makes people earn their living much easier, at least enough food and common medical treatment is not a problem anymore. I say this because I do see the changes with my eyes. The second reason, it’s hard to find young cheap laborers in China now after those many years’ one-child policy. If you are willing to work as a waiter, a deliverer, or a worker standing in front of the assembly line, it's easy for you to find a job in the city. The third, the wanderers who need help indeed, for example, those incapable of making a living by themselves because of illness or mental disease are taken care of in the rescue stations in the city. Finally, there are very few people who devote themselves to begging, e.g., professional beggars, it's sorry that they don't have the freedom of begging here because China is arbitrary. They will be sent back to where they come from, where their family or relatives help to educate them.
I write this doesn't mean that there is no problem in China, on the contrary, I do think there are a lot of things that need to be improved, but not this one. I just want you to know a real China.
First honest Chinese comment right here
I see it! (From Australia).
I saw a similar thing, sort of, in Tokyo. Large numbers of homeless at train stations.
One guy had the ability to stand motionless at Kinshicho Stn. for hours on end in the freezing cold. He looked like a garden gnome (1999). He'd be there when I went to work and still there when I went home. The guys in the cardboard boxes seem to be doing better.
I gave one, (only one) guy a couple thousand Yen, but... I was overwhelmed.
When I got back to Australia in 2005, I discovered homelessness to be a new problem in Brisbane ( a good city to be homeless in since it has a very short winter)
Generally, people seem to care much more about "Climate Change" and LGBTQ.
I must say I agree with you everybody’s focus on America’s homelessness issue when everybody knows that it’s happening in China and all over the world . Thank you sir for everything that you’re doing by showcasing what’s really going on around in China that takes guts and courage in my book you can call yourself a hero for the people that speaks out❤ on this issues and much more🍻🇸🇪
Keep doing what you’re doing man! Your sacrifices haven’t been in vein. We’re all with you. ❤
Thank you
God bless you for eye opening
It will help many people to be content and make good use of the little they have
The Metaphor with the open and closed doors is probably the best way to explain China to someone, who isn't as interested in China as we are and/or can't believe how much China censors.
Depend from what porch you are pointing , if the chinese all go on fantanyl the cops wont do anything because they are still walking whils sleeping
Thank you for covering these issues in China, people in China who dare to cover these topics will get disappeared or detained for life.

Or end up in some reeducation camp of the CCP.
El PCCCH oculta todo aquello que sabe que no le conviene.
Thank you so much for doing this! Acknowledge the problem is the first step to solving it, and if one truly care for their fellow countrymen’s misfortune, one will respect and support this video and its maker.
USA is worse.
You are being fooled by this video which doesn't represent the current China. The video clips are decades old. People sleeping on streets in China cities are migrate workers from villages where these people have homes and farmlands. The only city in China that has real homeless people like the US is Hong Kong, which is governed under a different system.
@@hyc1266 For starter, the divorced rural area women don't have access to farmlands because they are excluded from the land allocation process by village rules. I personally know some of them trying to visit the central government to complain and change this process but got followed and murdered (by a high-speed bus out of nowhere) on their way there. The rest of the lucky ones made their way back alive were either jailed or harassed relentlessly by local government. Some of the men (like those from Sanhe famously) become homeless because of huge debts resulted from being scammed ruthlessly, causing them unable to go back to their counties of origin and relying on the only resources however humble.

Thank you for exposing this, my heart is broken 😞
Thank you for this! Every country in the world has homeless and it’s time that they are treated with compassion and kindness all over the world. Instead of war , power and money our leaders should be talking about coming together and helping the less fortunate and this is how we all should know that none of our leaders are fit to lead any of us even out of a paper bag. If our leaders and countries would just come together our world could be doing amazing things but the people who have our money just want more and they hate us all equally and they will never help the world become a better place. We have to do that and we never can until we get rid of these horrible greedy people in charge. We care about all people homeless and rich, large and small. Thank you to the people in China who are getting this out, you are amazing people who truly love your country and all of its people.
Well done in speaking out about this heartbreaking issue. I'm very grateful for your insightful reporting. I feel so sorry for them.
It is' 'heartbreaking''' that in this age of technology where people can do their own research, people are still gullible. These ''homeless''' are migrants from the provinces where they were born, with homes, farms and all the necessary social services, They left home for the building boom, and decided it's better to sleep under the bridges thus saving on rent and hotel bills. Look up the hukou system in China
Incredible journalism! God bless you young man! Thank you.
Great work by you. Thank you for talking about something almost nobody talks about.
Every day I give thanks to the universe that I was not born in China.
amen.....
Amen.
Amen. The first thing people do when they get rich is sent their children for schooling in the west. All the "WEST=BAD" talk is two faced lies lol.

Amazing video, as always. You're incredibly brave! It's so refreshing and encouraging hearing the truth and seeing the compassion and kindness you have, sir. Stay awesome!!!

Opinion discarded Mr. Shill
It’s important we cover other parts of the world’s homeless problems too. Thanks for sharing!
Sadly some of this is what is being done here too. The city I live (30 some miles outside of LA) a few years ago forced all the homeless out. They were sleeping on the fountain park lawn. People who lived there were giving them food and water. The government had the police force them all out and arrested anyone who would give them food or water. They basically rounded them up in a police van like criminals and dumped them in Skid Row. It was very sad. A few I had talked to were Vietnam Veterans who have been permanently injured due to the war and nobody was helping them. Same thing happened in a nearby city shopping center streets.
It makes me so sad that governments think they can harass and do whatever they want to the homeless, be annoyed at them… yet don’t help them out of the homeless situation they are in.
Finland is the only country I feel has got this right.
Edit: grammar and spelling
Absolutely true. If the CCP says it's so then it isn't so. If the CCP says that it isn't so then you are guaranteed that it is so.
So the west can lie anything to China and expect them all to become true? How convenient for your propaganda.
How is that even possible they have so many skyscrapers that are sitting empty?
Because most live on the streets
this is what i thought of too instantly
And ?
Put homeless people in a building and then what ??
With the quality of Chinese construction, the homeless would be safer on the streets!
the allure that attracts people similar to NK's empty hotels
Sadly, it is true. I was in Tianjin in the middle of june. I have the habit to go out for a walk every night. You can see plenty of homless people getting out in the dark. Normall they try to stay away from crowded roads. I was in Shanghai one week ago and again, I was astonished to see the amount of homless people (even entire families) hiding and laying in some places where they could spend their night avoiding harassment by the authorities. Shanghai has impressed me the most because i remember it as a dynamic city. I cannot disclose the area where I was in order to avoid troubles for those miserables. However, the trend is going up.
Even in Yantai, in this very moment. The area near the so called "golden beach" (how ironic), after 11pm you start seeing these "zombies" coming out to spending the night "under the shooting stars"... As I recall, the battle against the poverty was won, am I wrong?
能在中国快速的天南地北地跑，难为你了。你不是错了，很明显，你只是另一只谎言制造机，不过可以继续你的谣言，毕竟，西方是言论自由的，当然有造谣的自由！ 请继续，我们将继续我们的生活
I just thought of something. I wonder how they survived the lockdowns. Perhaps they all had jobs or businesses around then but lost it and went through their savings.
Did you ask those "zombies" why they came out to spend their night "under the shooting stars"? Did you ask the family that was hiding and laying in some place quietly whether they were hiding from the authority and where were the family during the day and how they hide from the authority?
Zombies appear in USA only where drugs usage are allowed.
@@edwardkwok7279Many of those drugs come from China though, especially ketamine and fentanyl.
You're awesome brotha
Thank you for your work, Serpenza. When I lived in Tianjin in 1993, there were homeless, but not to this extent. Everybody had a cement floor place to live, with just enough room for two beds and a kitchen the size of the train bathroom.
