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!
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
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
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 :(
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 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 (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😅
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.
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 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.
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.
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).
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.
@@guestuser1837 Chinese is not a language. Chinese is a group of dialects and the most spoken one is Mandarin - which's the most spoken language. When someone says they speak Chinese, that means they speak China's language = Mandarin.
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.
the people who are interviewed are all stupid! the average chinese can all pick out where the countries are. the channel intentionally put the stupids on screen .
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

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.
@@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.
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.
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.
Well, I can point out South Africa, Lybia, Egypy and Madagascar... As a Chinese, know Asia most, then Europe and North America, to remember the whole map is hard🤣
@@JamesGallagher90 Yeah, in fact same thing happens on Asians😂I know approximate location of Laos, Cambodia, Philippines, Malaysia, but can't figure out on satellite maps
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
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?
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....

@@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.
0:47 Is my hearing correct? I hear SingMaThai which I assume is SIngapore, Malaysia & Thailand. Is that really a term the chinese use to describe the 3 countries? I mean... there's actually a combined term for these contries? Anyone can explain. Thanks in advance
Yes because of tour bundles. Those three are almost always together, like, if you're going on a trip to Singapore already, why not Malaysia? They're practically in the same place. And if you're going to 2 SEA nations already, might as well go to a 3rd, Thailand is a very popular destination. Many tourists may not know where the countries are on a map but it sounds like a good deal to have 3 nations within 1 trip.
North Koreans must perfectly know their history and how their country is the absolute best in the world. I think they might know best than anyone else where they are located
I'm bad at Math but really good at Geography. I once scored 99/100 and I'm a bit obsessed with maps. Watching this video is a real ego booster. I once drew a world map for a roommate's project which got rejected because his professor thought that it was a printed copy. I'm dumb for not trying to get a degree in Geography.
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.
Well, seriously, I think if you ask people culturewise, you get more content, For example, if you ask what they know about the UK, people can name quite a lot-- bands \the queen\ soccer teams\ etc. After all, most people in the world just don't care about the exact locations especially map shapes of most countries except the neighbouring ones, thus it's not a good benchmark
That mindset doesn’t really apply to China when the majority of their population is restricted to outside media and are influenced by other people within their own social bubble.
Original comment: "Looking at the comments here, looks like whether the internet is censored doesn't affect how ignorant people are" And the rest are basically saying that Chinese people who don't know these basic countries should be reprimanded, and the American video is even worse. They'd be hard-pressed to find a classmate around them who doesn't know them. I would agree that this interview isn't quite representative. In fact, Chinese people are as a whole rather informed about world affairs, more so than say Americans. Chinese often treat geography and history the way they treat other things. They'll learn all the countries, capitals, history, facts, and just have a general love for learning, pretty astonishing.
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
tbh... I dont even know where all the African and European countries are. I know Canada USA , Brazil , Russia , China , India , South Korea, North Korea, Japan...and thats about it..
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.
I appreciate that this is the companion video to the American one but I think a better topic would be asking about filtered content. We know that there are sites that are blocked by the great firewall of China. How much do average people know about some of the blocked topics?
from what I know most Chinese people just use a VPN and get on foreign websites anyways. there's even a tower in Shanghai with it's own built in VPN. I believe they censor it to shield certain types of people from harmful information, but don't really care if you are smart enough to use a VPN.
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!
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.
here Indian media gives us inspiration to develop like china..Per capita income of India was better until 1980..China has grown so fast..have u heard of Doklam border issue?
I am from China that one was the first Chinese I find who doesn't where India is. I mean I can understand people can't find Nigeria (which I know where it is), but India is just unimaginable.
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. 😱😱😱
TANU SINGH Actually we do learn about India at elementary school and middle school. However it seems that loads of Chinese don’t remember them at all due to this video.
I know India, I feel people around me know that too. I don't know why people in video don't...If you do an interview at India there might also have some people can't recognize China
THANK YOU!!👏👏 I would love for this to be done for a variety of countries. The most common narrative is that Americans suck at geography the most, reflecting an extreme ethnocentrism and stupidity of the populance... BUT THE TRUTH IS A LOT OF PEOPLE in the world struggle with geography! Especially as each day we're living more and more in a world where information is a simply click away so we aren't necessarily committing the same knowledge to memory as we once did in the past.

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.

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.

It's a fun video. They didn't show people who got it right.
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).

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

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

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....

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.

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
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
Well, seriously, I think if you ask people culturewise, you get more content, For example, if you ask what they know about the UK, people can name quite a lot-- bands \the queen\ soccer teams\ etc.
After all, most people in the world just don't care about the exact locations especially map shapes of most countries except the neighbouring ones, thus it's not a good benchmark
Ray couldn’t agree more. you just said what I wanted to say.
That mindset doesn’t really apply to China when the majority of their population is restricted to outside media and are influenced by other people within their own social bubble.

Original comment: "Looking at the comments here, looks like whether the internet is censored doesn't affect how ignorant people are"
And the rest are basically saying that Chinese people who don't know these basic countries should be reprimanded, and the American video is even worse. They'd be hard-pressed to find a classmate around them who doesn't know them.
I would agree that this interview isn't quite representative. In fact, Chinese people are as a whole rather informed about world affairs, more so than say Americans.
Chinese often treat geography and history the way they treat other things. They'll learn all the countries, capitals, history, facts, and just have a general love for learning, pretty astonishing.

I appreciate that this is the companion video to the American one but I think a better topic would be asking about filtered content. We know that there are sites that are blocked by the great firewall of China. How much do average people know about some of the blocked topics?
Most will just deflect the question like the did in this video
BH exactly. There is not a lot of brain energy required in deflection.
VPN, and a lot of Chinese people study abroad so they bring back knowledge and experience
from what I know most Chinese people just use a VPN and get on foreign websites anyways. there's even a tower in Shanghai with it's own built in VPN. I believe they censor it to shield certain types of people from harmful information, but don't really care if you are smart enough to use a VPN.
Bet that the Chinese police would stop them anyways

For an average Chinese student ,it is easy to tell the general position of most countries. But it is a little hard to distinguish :

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.
they did not know about their 3000 km long neighbour India?

Chinese ppl when having a conversation be like: I’m fast af boiii
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 little boy was great, when he was asked where is America, he pointed out America and Alaska at the same time.
4:22 right one 😍
They don't even know about their neighbouring country India. In India we learn about our neighbouring countries in grade 2 or 3
TANU SINGH Actually we do learn about India at elementary school and middle school. However it seems that loads of Chinese don’t remember them at all due to this video.
I know India, I feel people around me know that too. I don't know why people in video don't...If you do an interview at India there might also have some people can't recognize China
yes ,only blind people
THANK YOU!!👏👏 I would love for this to be done for a variety of countries.
The most common narrative is that Americans suck at geography the most, reflecting an extreme ethnocentrism and stupidity of the populance... BUT THE TRUTH IS A LOT OF PEOPLE in the world struggle with geography! Especially as each day we're living more and more in a world where information is a simply click away so we aren't necessarily committing the same knowledge to memory as we once did in the past.
Great video, I hope the people in the video are ok nowadays with everything going on in Shanghai!
