Americans : pointing India in Africa
Chinese : pointing India in Africa
*Me doubting my geography*
HAHAHA 😂
😨
Why don't they even know their neighbor India? God why?
@@nidhiaswal5214 because it's not their neighbour.
@@vishwajithns7762 China is a neighbor of India since it has occupied Tibet. Why do you say it isn't?
Well Asian Boss you have proven that no matter where you are in the world; majority of the peoples geography sucks.
Come to India! And we will show them how great we are at geography ;)
Alkamist My daughter answer in a history test that 16th century China and Portugal both had in common fighting wars in Africa. 😂😂😂😂😂
John Doe and your point?
WYNOT SMILE oh! I saw miscalculated pointing.
@@wynacoco8034 XxcoughxX americans XxcoughxX

John Leiman yeah
he probably knew the entire world map
lol yah when pretty sure some Americans probably forget where that is
Alaska is pretty easy for anyone who are considered educated out of America itself
My man even said New Zealand
News: "China and India are in the midst of a tense border dispute after deaths from border clashes...."
Them: "wait where"
in europe
Lmaooo
Lmao, it's interesting to note that you pronounce every country differently than in the English language
News: China and India are in the midst of a tense border dispute after death from border clashes.
What Chinese people real hear: China and a Country are having some problem. And this country is not US, Japan or Korea. So no big deal.
Pretty much sums up that most Chinese people don't even care about it, meanwhile in India it's like a national headline and I'm sick and tired of seeing the same news over and over again.
they're not that bad, considering Americans who dont know where the US is
I live in the US, and I have found that there are some people in the US who can barely locate on a map the state in which they live.
lmaooo 😭
Comparing them with a country like America is useless. Being better than those people at geography doesn't say anything lmao.
I’m an American and I’m very good at geography so this was so easy for me.
Every country has good and bad people at geography
the reason why they're slow to point out America is cuz in Chinese maps China is left side and America is right side
It was obvious. Never liked that kind of maps. If anything should be cut from maps it should be the pacific. Most of it so empty. But i am biased tho as an european.
I grew up in New Zealand so we were in the middle of the map too, like the maps they use in China. Moving to Spain I had to change maps. I think both are good.
Josh: and Usonians place the american continent in the middle. Greetings from Madrid.
why you complaining thats right type of the map if america be on left side that is wrong.
The solution is to put Asia or America on both the left and right, having the map loop around 1.5 to 2 times.
at least they know the general location, unlike some street interviews in USA, its all over the place
i think its hard for places like africa and europe to know the exact spot
@@burlhorse61 Africa,maybe. But Europe, seriously?
@@jekesan4221 Some people is not good at Geography. It's very natural and normal. They might good at other subjects.
@@jekesan4221 well from where im from, the region we learn least abt is europe and africa.
Ok
What’s really interesting (and impressive) about this is that maps in China are situated differently, they have China in the dead center so America is to the right (East) of China on their maps. That’s why the first girl moved East when she was looking for the US
if only there was a contraption that illustrates the world while respecting the spherical nature of the eath.... oh wait
@@---iv5gj Well, good luck trying to post a globe onto the wall
lol,yeah,our normal map is not like this map,in our map ,we are in the west,and usa is in the east
Most Asian/European maps are like this, only the Americans have themselves in the center
China in Chinese is “ZhongGuo” means “middle kingdom”, this ideology was from distinction between civilised and uncivilised of a book Zuo Zhuan, so Chinese believe they are in the middle of world and every country around them is barbarian.
Q: "Where is Earth?"
A: "Maybe somewhere near Neptune."
Horses' Hooves
The Chinese at least know more than Americans
“Maybe somewhere near the andromeda galaxy.”

Samruddha Deshmukh I'm sorry for those stupid girls thought that India is the whole Africa .u know that China got buncha people just like India did so its a large number if there are 1percent people are ignorant .
Some Chinese are quite xenophobic so they group people by the color of their skin. So they automatically think India is somewhere near Africa. Their ignorance and idiocy is astounding.

Yeeeeeeees
I love geography now channel!
I cant believe a Chinese these days can’t point out where India is
There are any kinds of people. To be honest but maybe offensive, in my observation, most girls are not interested in history and geography.even in politics, there may be more men who care about politics than women. In addition, might in exam-orien education have a little problem. Many people do not care about subjects whose scores are not important. In junior high school and high school, I just listen to every history, geography, and biology class, and then I can take the first place in every exam. Some good student also don't care these subjects. So sometimes people ’s common sense of some things is really terrible, but it does n’t matter, it does n’t affect their daily life.
@@yjiang750 bro it's below Tibet. Not that hard really.
@@dbmdrums1105 Yes, it is easy. I know some liberal arts students who can recite the position of all countries. But at the same time, some people have bad common sense.
@@maximgavrilov2977 Where are you? If you are Chinese,that is really easy. And if you used to go to school in China, teacher should mention the location of India and its climate when talk about global climate in junior high school. And if you are a liberal arts student in high school, they seem to have more detailed things to remember. It is really a small matter to remember where India is.
But they(Chinese soldier) do manage to cross the border and say this is our land😤🙄

Africa is legendary difficulty. All skulls on.
Star Wars Chronicler lol, I actually find it one of the easiest continents to point out countries. Many African countries have very distinctive shapes (like the rest of the world lol) and there’s only 50 African countries which isn’t much considering the size of the continent!
Ikr
@@tacocatt6808 Only 50? It's the most countries on any continent, I think!
@@Aethelhadas wth are you talking about?
Lol. Europe is harder. So many small countries to memorize
I (a geography and history enthusiastic) have been waiting for someone to come and ask me this kind of things since I started watching this videos.
Gues what??
I'm still waiting.
Same here, I had general knowledge about each country, could point the continent they were from but not the exact location, but since I’ve been watching these videos I had to learn everything about them, even history! Now I’m waiting for someone to ask me😅
Same here. Although I still have problems with Central America (North of Panama and south of the USA) and nearly half of Africa.
Even you get filmed, you probably won't make to the final cut. These youtube channels are more interested in people who don't know much.
I am also Chinese, If I am the one to be interviewed, I can tell the location of more than 100 countries.
Well done brother 😀👏👏
Me too
But why all the Chinese are not able to answer the question , we can understand if they can't point some countries which are far from them but India Is a easy one , we are your border .
@@Nachiketa-if7ny maybe those people do not watch news.
@@Nachiketa-if7ny I am Chinese. I didn't know where India is before. I never cared about it. I always thought India was in Africa. But since the border conflict between India and China, I learned that India is next to China.
Chinese people that I have met ( in the UK) : Sincere. Kind. Intelligent. Sensible. Proud of own heritage and history. Keen to learn, to improve their knowledge of foreigners through communication and the experience of travel. It would be good to have more Chinese friends. My message is: Come visit the UK. Not just London! And enjoy.
I am from Hong Kong and I have never seen any Chinese with these characteristics you mentioned
Comment Comment where do you live in HK? underground? Lol
Or maybe you are mistaken them with the Japanese? Because all the characteristics you mention are common if they are Japanese but seems like almost impossible for the chinese.
@@darksideage That's just a hat that the western put on us .Look at your business elite .What they know about China

aww
Yes!Yes!Yes!!!!
bro they probably interview a lot of people that know all the answers but those don't get posted
Eli FANG yeah me too
Eli FANG as a Chinese,me too
Well actually majority people know the world just like you, they just need few interviewers who don't know so much for the programme, who know how many they had interviewed and they just edit those people like you out, because If they show the entire video, it dull and tedious which leads fewer subscribes.
Students know more than adults😂

I love this channel. ^_^
As a Canadian, this is really eye opening and also gives me a lot of confirmation.
The girl saw the map of Brazil in the last world cup and could recognize the country
Me: I don't even know what I had for dinner last night
same here
Hahahaha
If you still remember your name then there is still hope for you...
Well actually I remember what Brazil looks like as a EU4 player and a tellurion fancier, but I really really just couldn't remind myself what I ate on last dinner :(
You ate beef burritos. 🌯
This just proves how much of a importance a world map is with one's childhood. I grew up with a world map on the wall behind the couch. And even though I practically learned nothing from school in terms of geography, identifying the locations of those countries is still a piece of cake.
And yes i came from China and left it at 13 yo.
But when India came up , i couldn't help but laugh...

Agree!!
I think the Chinese government should allow Chinese people to go on TH-cam and stuff, so they can have a voice in these media. Not just being discussed by other people who hate China, and just want to bash them
But there's many Chinese people here even in this comment section. Those that want to see what's on TH-cam already can if they know how to use VPN.
Actually if we want we can, just have to use vnp
But that may not be a good thing either, imagine 1.4 billion people (VERY prolific internet users too) flooding TH-cam. Most videos on TH-cam will be in Chinese. TH-cam may have to break into "English" and "Chinese" sections. There will be firestorm arguments all over the place all day long. All of those things. Western public already complain about Chinese tourists despite officially advertising their own nations for tourism, despite Chinese tourists bringing in cash and buying stuff in bundles. The Chinese government needs to consider more long-term consequences.
@@aarondodo4076 Yes TH-cam video will have Chinese videos but it will also be filtered based on what country you're in and what you preferences. Heck, some most of the most subscribed TH-cam channels are Portuguese and German yet I never heard of their channel. There are also lots of Japanese videos you just don't see them popping up to your feed. TH-cam has a lot of videos from different countries but you just don't see them popping up to your recommended.
Reibeiccka Z No problem. We have VPN, I'm currently watching this video in China. Actually to tell you the truth most Chinese aren't really interested in TH-cam and Facebook. We have our own websites that we prefer.
I've watch both related videos and it appears that both the American and Chinese people that were quizzed knew about the same with regard to the geographic location of countries in China and the world, which was shockingly low. I'm surprised by this because we have the world at our fingertips, literally, with all the internet available to learn. I, personally, knew very little about China but became very interested about 3 years ago, so I went online and learned. I have even began to learn mandarin through the internet and I'm 63 years old. People may not be interested in learning about the world and may be satisfied with only what the news media tells them. I would have done much better that those Americans you quizzed. Xie xie, Bob T
these videos make me feel like a genius bc I could get all of them right you could even ask me about their capitals or languages they speak
Thank you for making these videos. TH-cam is amazing, because without travelling I can still learn about other cultures, understand and respect them. I think it's so valuable, it will get rid of negative preconceptions and help us all live in a less racist society.

I like this program. It is down-to-earth, no filtering or framing, truth to 1st hand,
Wow, I'm an Aussie and have never heard such a stereotype about Chinese people! We have many Chinese brothers and sisters here in Australia and they have the opposite reputation, for being highly knowledgable and very intelligent people.
Someone please tell that young guy that foreign media is no more reliable and no less screened and filtered than any other. Western media chooses the stories they want to tell, and they edit and make it fit their narrative. They completely fail to report stories that don't fit their narrative, and they leave out crucial facts and put their own spin on whatever they report. I follow independent reporters from within different countries on video streaming platforms to get an idea of what is going on around the world. When you see the full footage of events like that and get the story from on the ground, you realise the contrast.
U are racist towards asian people , especially chinese
Lmao
@@jayantkumar159 gee yeah you can really hear the racism in my words hmmm Oh and did you just make a negative statement about all people of a particular country, Australia? There's a word for when people do that, isn't there....oh yeah! Racism!
I don't know how much people know about geography. It hugly depends on person. Because history is more like hobby. Considering I meet many young Chinese girls, who think history and Geography sucks. While many Chinese guys I know could answered history and geography in such details. They could write multiple essays on history and old kingdoms just to prove the most insignificant points.
They are very humble. It is very hard to know the exact position of every country. It is good to know the rough position.
Wow Chinese sounds incredibly complicated and hard. I am going to learn Chinese in a few months at university and knew already how it sounds but it surprises me every time
Actually everyone in this video spoke very clearly and in Putonghua so it was actually very easy. If you go to rural China then it becomes very difficult.

@@wesuckatgames9549 No, our government won't do anything to you unless you say something like "I'll kill XiJinping" or "I'm going to bomb Beijing railway station".
Unfortunately I've never had anyone asking me those geography questions...
For an average Chinese student ,it is easy to tell the general position of most countries. But it is a little hard to distinguish :
1.some countries in Europe (besides British,Germany,Spanish,Italy);
2.most countries in South America (besides Brazil,Chile,Argentina);
3.most countries in Afica(besides South Africa,Egypt);
4.some countries in the Middle East
5.the five countries in central Asia，their names are so similar in Chinese,and may also be similar in their own language;
6.Burma, Vietnam, Laos，it is strange ,but many of us may can not distinguish them immediately.
Try this game on India I'm excited to see
At least they were better than the Americans 😂 Americans were way off
Asians are shy not humble 👎
these ppl knew the general area of the country but the americans didn’t even know the continent of the country
It actually is not a comparable study. Try asking both groups to name Europe and African countries only, then we shall see.
I have no idea why people always compare everything with US. I've seen everywhere say like (in US, in US, in US). You need to compare like in UK, in Germany, in India, In your mother's --- rather than comparing everything with US.
Myo Min Zaw it’s because they did the exact same in columbus ohio testing americans if they can name asian countries
I’ve been so desperate to be interviewed like this so i can show a little bit of my geography skills
They just wouldn't air your answers. Street interviews like these only air the dumbest answers. Nobody wants to watch all the people who got everything correct top to bottom.
Nice video haha. It reminds me bout a documentary I've watched of if American could find themselves in the global map lol some had no idea xD
I think in all countries in the world, there will be some of the populations who are really not interested on other countries, not only Chinese people. In fact, I am not familiar with the countries in South America and Africa to be honest. But I am pretty much familiar of the countries in Europe and Asia and where they are located in the map.
Trust me most people don't interested in South America & Africa.
@@yourmother8775 I am interested in Hispanic America.

Asian Boss is getting better. I used to watch it occasionally for fun. But I find myself watching more often for real, interesting information. Of course, the Asian women are quite lovely and hold my attention too.
It is interesting to watch this kind of videos. It makes me wanna find an empty map and point out some countries. I give myself an 8/10 :P I'm pretty good at it. A little challenge for anyone who happen to see my comment, can you find Vanuatu on the map?
ooof at least the little kid knows New Zealand
HoloXP
At least it’s on the map
To quote John Oliver "New Zealand - Australia's Australia"
because the older have already forgotten what they have learned in school,but the little kid have to cosider his exam. 😹
And not Australia i was like bruh you can see the small island but not Australia
His family probably just bought a house in New Zealand, I'm just saying.
I agree with some of the comments here, if you get a chance, please interview people from other parts of China. I think you will get responses that are quite different from what you get in Shanghai. China is a very big country and people from different regions think differently. Shanghai is probably one of the most international cities in China and so it is not a surprise that people from Shanghai know a fair amount about the rest of the world
Europe: Most overrated Continent.
Asia: Most Divided Continent.
Australia/Oceania : Most Forgotten Continent.
North America : Most Biased Continent.
South America: Most Underrated Continent.
Africa: Most Abused Continent.
Then you have the Penguin Nation.
Abused😂😂 lol you gotta be kidding
Why do you think that Europe is overrared? Us Europeans really accomplished a lot. Us Europeans dominanted the whole World for hundreds of years.
@@dennisroriksson1889 Because Asia dominated the world for thousands of years. Like it or not, Mesopotamia, Arabia, Persia, India, and China were all far more influential throughout written history. The Silk Road went West, not East.
@@ruedelta Sure Asia did have advanced civilisations since the Bronze Age and throughout antiquity, but they never dominated the world in the same way us Europeans did. For example the Persians were a very advanced people and they even tried to conquer all of Greece, but they failed. They were able to conquer parts of Greece but their rule over those territories didn't last long. In the end the Greeks kicked the Persians out. Not only did the Greeks manage to withstand such a huge enemy as the Persians, under Alexander the Great the Greeks actually conquered Persia and built hellenic Kingdoms on the ruins of Persia. The Selucid Empire, one of those hellenic States built after the conquest of Persia by Alexander, existed for almost 250 years on the territories of the former Persian Empire. Us Europeans conquered the most and in the end we triumphed and built massive colonial Empires. The american continent, Africa and large parts of Asia, all of that was conquered by us and colonised by us. Like it or not, but it was actually us Europeans that dominanted the World for hundreds of years. And without a doubt, it is us Europeans that had the largest cultural impact on the modern World.
@@dennisroriksson1889 Well if you are using conquest as the prime determining factor of "dominate" then yes, obviously it's Europe that dominates the world. But I wouldn't bundle Europe into a single entity - after all Europeans fighting each other is just a reality of that entire period of domination and continues even through today with NATO vs Russia. It's like how I'm not picking the entirety of Asia here as my categorization. Pick a single polity, not an entire region that flattened itself through two extremely bloody wars.
If you want to move away from conquest, then perhaps we can look at more useful definitions of domination.
Funny. As soon as we left school, our geography knowledge was returned to our teachers.
You guys should try other provinces from China, not Shanghai only. Many Chinese from all over China have different perspectives and opinions, which could be interesting to watch.
They only did 1 US city, so it makes sense that they would only do one Chinese city
They are "Asian boss" after all. So it make sense they focus on more than one province, state, city or whatever you call it.
I don't think they have such resources to visit different provinces and the project will be too big to handle
Asian Boss always interview people from urban places only, I haven't seen them interviewing people from the provinces. I saw the same complains when my country is featured, only people from the cities are interviewed.
Ser Petiks in China that's what states are called, "provinces". So my point is they go to other cities (there are many in China, several in each province even).
It's the same everywhere, mostly people will only know countries around them and that have been relevant in their history or politics.
But they couldnt find India
yeah, they couldn't find India.
@@helenemaja0912 relevant not irrelevant country
Look at Jimmy Kimmel Live about Americans. Now, which are better, Chinese or Americans?
Happy Dude
I meant knowledge tho. And btw, there are a handful countries who eat dogs, like South Korea. And South Korea is better than America because of IQ.
I don't enjoy studying geography and I am not good at it but I like reading the world map and I can locate some countries and remember a lot of countries' names.
I’m pretty sure there are a lot more people out there like that little boy. Geography was in our middle school curriculum.
i like geography and history but i don't expect others to know too much. i now require that my son and my daughter learn all capital cities of the countries they have been to by heart.
Thanks for the great content these videos are my favourite ❤️
Wow... Just wow. The guy at 4:05 points at Mongolia and says "South Korea". And that's what he supposedly actually knows. I am in shock that so many people are so ignorant. I can confidently place all countries in the world on a map. There's just not that many...
@@Heimdall1987 not all people know geography and where countries are located, either because they didn't pay attention in class or because they don't care.. I know where all the countless are located too but we should all help the ones who have no idea where countries are and teach them perhaps idk for their own good without judging them
That little boy was great, when he was asked where is America, he pointed out America and Alaska at the same time.
Maybe its due to cost, but I have noticed that Asian Boss interviews in dense cities only.
I am sure that people in more rural areas have different and interesting opinions on things. It would be nice to get a mix of both.
This made me realize that I could teach Geography in majority of countries.
But the main content of the geography test is not this. focus on geography other content
Chinese ppl when having a conversation be like: I’m fast af boiii
It's interesting that a few start pointing on the east hemisphere then progress left to the US when asked about it. It shows how much the perspective and sense of visual weight is altered by the location of one's home country.
I´m from Slovakia and our geography class looks like - we learn about every single continent, and during the lesson about continent we learn about every single country, name of their capital city, climate, production, establishment...etc and also we have test called "blind map", where we write name of country and point where is their capital city(also put it name)...I never like that kind of test...of course we forget half of it, but at least many of us remember in which continent country is located and some of capital city...and cause my country is in Europe, the best knowledge I have about Europe
Barbora Blaskova
Same in the Netherlands
Better than Americans
Rolan A...lol even their surnames are fake...jack ma, jenny wong,...
It's not that hard
Ahman Ahm Bro seems that you did not see the video where americans can’t find USA on the map 🤣
Ahman Ahm Lol Angola and Jamaica?🤣 They are even not in Asia.
@@solid1378 the chinese invented paper and printing. paper making spread to europa through the abbasid empire. without paper making technologies most europeans would have remained illiterate for much longer.
Its similar to me if you give me a blank map of Asia I can find China India Korea and Japan but have no luck finding places like Cambodia Lao and Thailand
The two most powerful nations in the world do not know much about the world. That's scary.
@@krollpeter it's mainly the civilians in those Nations that don't know much about the world but the people that are running it more than likely do. Trump is the exception though.
Nae
I have seen so many videos meanwhile, that seems hard to believe. The dead fish always stinks first from the head.
And without bragging - I don't need to, I'm 59 - I can point to the majority of countries in the world, and know at least roughly about the locations the others.
@Alan Sangma I can name some African but not all of them I could do European countries and South American countries I definitely struggle with Canada though
@@krollpeter that's great that you can do that. I get what you are saying but I think having great knowledge in certain things will have to do with how much interest you have in it as well.
I choosed Maths as my stream as I am a highschool student of 3rd year. But after watching this I think I should just take a ticket to China and America and get a job as a geography teacher and I am pretty sure I will get a job to teach even adults.Just because I will be considered a genius there. 😱😱😱
That girl was really very funny😂😂😂😂😂.By the way,Love to Chinese bros and sis' from India.
Great video, I thought they will do good but that's not the case
Hahahahaha at least they knew in which continents they were hahahaha I love these geography videos! Really make me have a good time and test myself too!
They did ok. Most people nowadays don’t pay attention to geography. I expected the students to know more though. In my schooling days we studied countries and capitals in geography class and I could pin point where each countries are in a globe. I still have pretty good knowledge.
I should thank my dad to buy a globe and a puzzle of the world map in my childhood
How much do the world know about China?
To be honest
Very limited
China still keeps it isolated....and continues to grow😅...
China is a mystery to most of the world🤔
Communism
Dictatorship
Eat dogs
That's all
Not a lot. But probably as much as how much the Chinese know about the rest of the world.
They only know the bad things and they gonna be racists that’s what they know 😂
很多人都了解中国和中国文化. 我是新西兰人，我学习中文还有我爱中国的文化。
India, Brazil, USA and UK I thought were some of the most recognisable countries when it came to a map. How is it that everyone interviewed on this channel is so bad at geography haha.
I was blown away when they didnt know were India was....like, its literally a boarder country and the second highest populated country in the world, you would think they know were it is. Thats like an American not knowing were mexico or Canada is. How would you react to someone like that?
This video proves that humankind are globally suck at geography. LOL
No European Countries are actually easy recognisable because they are too small and also unless you are really good at Geography, it is nearly impossible to recognised any particular Country.....Actually, Italy is the most recognisable Country in Europe because when we were in high school we use to compare world map and Italy fit the most easier Country among Europe to draw a map or to pick up because their Country's boundary or structure is easily recognisable....
Besides India, Brazil, US are easily recognisable? Are you high on something? Or do you know only these Countries that you thought everyone would be like you? Idiot....
Spencer White, general Indian might be obsessed with China but general Chinese never care or know about India....Most Chinese nationals think India is just a poor stinky place and think it in the same position as underdeveloped African Countries....The day general Chinese would know everything about India would be the day they would know everything about the world....

INDIAN GOVT BLOCKS all access NEWS from CHINA, PAKISTAN, and AFRICA except USA news agency & BBC.
Interesting video about their knowledge about geography. Personally what I'm even more curious about is their knowledge of global pop culture, politics, etc.
As a native Chinese who has lived on the Chinese mainland for more than 40 years, I would like to say to you that most of us don't like politics, but we believe our government can handle everything. In our daily life, we are also curious about new technologies and pop culture, and we have a strong interest in our own history in particular.
The moment I want to thank my geography teacher😂
04:35 don’t worry, Europe is difficult even for me and I live in Europe
Honestly I just think that it everyone they interview sucks at geography 😂
Me too, I think they just edit those know the world pretty good people out.
This is kinda tricky because in china we have our map the other way around where the Pacific Ocean is in the middle
看每个大洲每个国家的形状很好认出啊，如果你真的了解这些地理知识 在左边或者在右边都不是问题
@@Min-Jeong2003 其实我很好奇中国课本为何会把太平洋放在中间。中国是屹立在东方的古老大国不是全民共识吗？咋地就把中国放到左边去了呢？世界上几乎所有其他国家的课本用的都是以格林威治线为中间线的标准世界地图 - 亚洲在东，欧非在中，美洲在西。
@@edukid1984 呃，我只能说地图的设计有很多种，我的国家马来西亚使用的地图是太平洋在地图中间的也有，美洲在地图左侧的也有，所以我觉得没什么好争论的

Seems like on a few of them when they got it right you made them second guess themselves with your follow up questions like "are you sure".
My excuse: I don’t look at the map that often and I haven’t taken any geography class, I will sure to get a lot of them wrong 😅
