My uncle, an engineer from the UK, helped modernise China during the 80s and 90s. He was staying at a hotel near Tiananmen square when things kicked off in 89'. All guests were suddenly escorted onto a coach and whisked off to the countryside. A week later they returned to the same hotel and all the staff had been replaced. Everyone. None of the new staff had any idea of what had happened a week earlier.

You know what's crazy? I've been watching you for a very long time now, I've watched you love China, brag about China etc and then watched you very slowly change your tune in China and started highlighting more and more bad about China, then I noticed your Chinese viewers abusing you, ridiculing you etc and now a lot of them are starting to support you now too. It's wild watching you grow and reveal truths and how angry Chinese people were with you at first and now you have a lot of support from a lot of Chinese people. You're definitely ruffling feathers and it's awesome, keep it up!!!
I agree. Many aspects of China is great, such as the food, culture, landscapes etc, however the government sucks. He isn’t slandering China, he’s just revealing the truth, and I respect him for that.
Can we talk about how people actually had the balls to hold a public gathering let alone a PROTEST in MAINLAND CHINA? This is insane. This is beyond insane. People don’t realize how huge this is.

I am from a third-tier city in China. I was born in a rural area. The local per capita income is very low. Without the help of my parents, I cannot afford a house and a car, and it may take 10 to 20 years to repay the loan. Most of the young people at the bottom of China are like this, we are very tired, I feel sorry for my parents but there is nothing I can do.
Same as the US, except your loan will be 30+ years for a home in the US. And most young adults cannot afford the downpayment without first saving for 10-15 years or getting money from rich parents. Canada, Australia, and most European countries have the same issue. It's a worldwide problem.
It's not about no longer able to achieve the Chinese Dream or the American Dream. It's about hope. When you attempt to take all hope away, the people that you're taking it from will eventually fight back since they have nothing else to lose.

“The masses never revolt of their own accord, and they never revolt merely because they are oppressed. Indeed, so long as they are not permitted to have standards of comparison, they never even become aware that they are oppressed.” ― George Orwell, 1984
Sure - Orwell is like popularized science and everybody is an expert in freedom these days. Especially kids in their 20ies. "As they say in the United States: "to be different is to be indecent."

I work in tech for a big financial institution, and I can tell you, our biggest daily, hourly, moment-by-moment concern is making sure our customers can get to their money, even if it's just to virtually fondle it.

The bank teller used my mother's account information to call the police who arrested my mother at her house and remanded her to a hospital for a psychiatric evaulation because she hadn't committed a crime. This happened in New England this year, but I have had numerous problems banking as a teen even though I had a job, my Driver's License and Social Security Card.

Thought the China building bubble would have ended almost 10 years ago. Now it's a lot larger and a lot more unstable. These things tend to happen very slowly and then all at once. Really concerned about the Chinese people and how this all unwinds.
I hate communism and Lenin, but as that murderous creep said, "decades can go by with nothing happening, but then there are years where decades happen".
Like you said slowly at first then all at once, the most concerning part is this isnt just happening in China loads of countries big and small are experiencing hardship and we could see a major world war as a way to get out of this. This is like 10 titanics that have already hit the iceberg headed to crash into each other before sinking

I am Chinese, and what you state about the real estate is absolutely correct. The house price of China has increased for multiple times in recent years, especially in big cities like Beijing, Shanghai or Shenzhen, so it is almost impossible for a student who has been graduated from university to buy a house alone, and he or she needs to borrow the loan to buy it, which they need to spend the whole life to pay back. Therefore, this terrible cycle will move on, and it is deteriorating the whole economy rapidly and constantly

Hawaii was starting to get riddled by massive multi-unit and multi-story homes developed by Chinese investors that pushed beyond zoning limits, and took up every inch of a lot. These homes were abhorrent and were designed basically as rental mills, inflating real estate market prices, blocking precious views of the beaches and city for other neighbors, completely defacing middle-class neighborhoods with ugly crackerbox homes. The local community had enough and pushed for enforcement of zoning laws causing many of these projects to halt in their tracks, and making the investors sell off their properties or pay huge fines.

I went all over China in 2018. It's not just ghost cities I saw, there were so many highways, train lines and other infrastructure that looked to be unfinished and completely deserted. Glad I got to see the fascinating country when i did because I'd never go there now.
Agreed! I was there in the fall of 2019 for a semester in Beijing - right until early December, when Corona-Chan hit! I’m lucky to have visited it before it’s economy turned downwards, when their middle class still hand money to throw around, and before the Ponzi scheme real estate economy began to melt down!
I get the feeling that the next couple of decades could reasonably be described as repaying the debts accrued from choosing to accept obvious lies as truth.
I agree, with the precision that it applies equally to the US. Methods and degree differ, of course, and the likelihood of a completely catastrophic revolution, but inevitable, paradigm-change is on the way.
All the debt needs to be wiped. It was created by corrupted governments anyway. All the Covid debt is 100% the responsible of governments that purposly created it. If people dont stand up and refuse to take on this debt, they are asking for generations of poverty.

Hey! There are 1.4 billion people in China. How many percent of the population is this moron talking about? Can he govern China better? Twice the population of the US ie 800 million has been lifted out of poverty! How much is the poverty rate of his own country? Which country is more disappointing? At least he shows that China isn’t as controlled as the US. People are normal & they still have rooms to protest. In some countries, people can’t even gather together. For example - the Capitol riot takes only a few days whereas protesters in Tiananmen and Hong Kong had months to voice out before they were suppressed
There's corruption in any government and local politicians (not just local) abusing power is not something unique to China. I watched half but there's a lot of generalities really. Every government also has methods to keep you in check like no fly lists in us, they control social security, banks and everything.

When mentioning the property buying abroad by corrupt and criminal Chinese, I recall the onslaught of buyers from China in Australia who snapped up so much premium properties, outbidding everyone else. It caused huge resentment from local Australians and got to a point it was almost pointless going to auctions at all. The only Australians smiling were the greedy real estate agents. To think there are now so many of these properties, often sitting empty that are the spoils of massive amounts of laundered money.
When your country is a tyranny and your entire (perhaps not entirely fairly earned) fate/wealth may be erased if the rules considers you don't bow low enough... you would like to stash it in a place where that dreaded rule of the law applies.

I went to China in 2006. I was with a group of volunteer teachers who taught at a Junior High School, for their summer school program. There were many strange things that happened, but I will share one of the many stories. They put us in a hotel which was filthy, had mold in the shower and so on. There were several dogs outside in the hotel yard, that were very cute. Every day at least one dog disappeared, until there was only one dog left. When we asked the hotel staff what happened to all the dogs, the staff person said in broken English, they are not dogs or pets now, they are food. This terrible event set the tone for the rest of my teaching groups stay in China.
Sorry, but this is not just happening since the past 25 years in China. This was already long time before happening and common knowledge. What the bleep did you or your group think you were going to teach up there?? French???? Unbelievable.. its like taking in all the illegals now and trying to teach them legality 🤡
I'm glad to see someone shedding light on what really happening in China. Went there on an exchange program in 2011 and got set up with a host family in the Communist party. Anytime I wanted to see how the average people lived they would take me to lavish dinners and tell me that's how everyone lived.
Which school or country would do an exchange program with CCP?? Even back then... Wow pls tell me where you are from? At least the kids got a good example of how bad com is? Or have they become shouting Lefties now?
Everything you mention is exactly why I got the hell out. So many great talented people stuck there, it's really sad. I have a friend who makes short films, every film she makes gets deleted within 24 hours guaranteed, after she posts them. People these days are happy if the bars are open between 'virus' lockdowns to get a beer and feel normal for a few hours. The increased control is the CCPs way of admitting the dream is over, now it's about CCP survival.
No pity for commies. China has been the main factor behind communism spreading around the world. As far as I see it every Chinese is at least partially responsible and they are getting what they deserve.

It's almost as if the media in the west does not want to report on this for any reason. Could it be for the same reason that the media in China does not report on it?

The numbers in your account are someone else's debt, if someone else stops paying their debt, the trust disappears. But do not worry, they will blame Putin.
I like that their view of social harmony is not to see what’s going on in these chats and find ways to address the problems, but rather to stop them being able to talk about them all together.
"The governments not there to help you, they're there to suppress you.." - What the world needs today are less politicians in government and more transparency.
i'd say the 2010s-20s are the period of increasing dictatorial governments, close to every country has a law about fake news and control of contents without a third party to "oversee". it's often the relevant minister or ministry being the "caretaker"

Communism and central dictates don't work! If people don't get fairly rewarded for their efforts... then they will cease making an effort. If they don't get fairly paid for their work... they will cease to work. If they don't get justice... they will cease obeying the law. If anything, China will be a textbook example to show what happens when you give people freedom and what happens when you take freedom away.

Serpentza has been pointing these issues out for years now. I am stunned that various governments around the world have not hired him for consultations and advice on China. He seems to know far more of current and historical events than many "expert" advisors.
it's generally a bad practice to hire people based on their internet popularity and seemingly "i-know-everything" attitude in Russia, there is a popular "china expert" Vavilov, and for most of the people he seems like really knowledgeable China expert, but he is just a moron that makes shit up
And not having the "Expert" title after his name is exactly, why the bureaucrats that need his advice won't hire him. They either don't have the time to check his resume and therefore don't want to risk it, or have an elitist, title based hiring mindset.
Why would they hire him? China is very much a part of their plans for us all. They are testing their systems in China. It is all coming to the west in the coming years, it's already started to be rolled out. They are intentionally collapsing our economies so the WEF can step in with its Great Reset, with its oppressive social credit system and global currency.

There is also the double reduction policy, which I guess is intended to reduce stress on parents and children as well as a decreased financial burden. The idea is that will free up married couples to have more children. However, it also really acts like way to minimize outside information and increase the amount of propaganda to children.

Save your pathetic prayers for people of Ohio and all the 1 million Americans killed by their government during the pandemic. The Chinese people do not need anything from you, not that you have anything to offer.
Well, ppl inside the wall, right now they are satisfied and feel happy with what they have right now,, especially those ppl from rural area, the Chinese government is putting all the effort to build roads and internet, electricity, rail way to those rural area and make sure they can access transportation and resources as convenient as in big cities,,, (even though in many ways, especially ppl from big cities like me, they are experiencing hard time and feel exhausted about all the things, they can’t just tell and address cuz the society is just so toxic and everyone is just bearing what they are facing/doing. If you have some complaints, you would be the “outcast” cuz they just think that it was normal and we should bear and accept of what we are facing right now, even though there are a lot of unfairness in the current society)
@@xxkk232 Chinese people literally don't care. They don't give a crap about the Party, or what an Anglo-saxon sexpat has to say about them and their country.
I'm dad to a girl we adopted from China 7 years ago and remain a part of the adoption community of facebook. After covid hit adoptions from China ceased and so many families in the process of adopting from there have had their efforts put on hold. It is heart wrenching to witness these families now left in limbo; not knowing if they will ever be able to help these children, give them a home, love and the medical care that many of them need. Further, considering how much of the world relies on products from China, it's collapse could lead to a global disaster.
Plenty of kids need help, i dont know your situation or ethnicity, its only relevant for adoption if its to adopt someone who looks more like the parents, otherwise theres plenty of people who needs a home/love/care.
I hope Winston realizes that he is doing incredibly important work. We trust him and he has the connections to get the critical news out of the country.
A Chinese financial collapse would be disastrous for Australia. It's so frustrating that almost every industry has become so impossibly dependent on Chinese investment
I hope us here in the states can help with that, if we get our shit sorted. At the very least America will always have a very diverse set of land and resources to fall back on that places like russia and china lack. I hope places allied with us have a better time recovering
My heart goes out to the people who had their money and dreams stolen. Shame on anyone who profited from that! I hope the Chinese people find a way to communicate and organize to start a cultural and political change, though I recognize the challenges are many due to governmental grip and misdirection. Thinking it's a local problem is part of the problem. Your videos are always so interesting, thank you. I heard about this situation a few days back through a news channel (don't recall which one) here on YT and just felt devastated for these people. And I knew you'd have a take on it.
1960 my boss and his parents( a farming family) flee from southern china during the famine, his family was forced to give up their land or die and they left to Laos and he had seen many people who he grew up with get killed. 1970s he witnessed Vietnam War and was able to go into a refugee camp and eventually moved to the USA in 1980s because his dad helped US troops navigate around Laos. In 2022 he and his wife are millionaires that own their own farming company import and export and they are both US citizens. He has tears everytime time he talks about seeing his friends and family get killed back in the 60s
The banking issue is spreading fast. They're starting to freeze accounts from anyone who's traveled abroad or has any international connection in many different cities
well an old saying here ....yours is what you hold in your hands... especially money. bank account is just a bunch of ones and zeros at some harddrive who knows where and can be put to zero anytime.
This will spread to the west, and because of the 9000 IQ move to print money to solve the pandemic woes, all governments have no firewall to prop up failing banks. Convert your money to physical precious metals now.
It bothers me that many of my Chinese Malaysian colleagues feels more emotional attachment to China than they have with Malaysia. The way they spoke about China. Its like China is such a prosperous nation and they are supposedly govern wayyy better than Malaysia. In my heart I laughed so hard 😅😅😅. Bad as the Malaysian economy & government is. The government never turned the entire economic systems into a ponzi scheme. This is one of the worst type of governance ever.
Unfortunately many Malaysian Chinese got their news within their Chinese community, which is heavily infiltrated by the CCP. Then they spread the same news within their own community to reaffirm their beliefs. Which is why you see a lot of similar traits and behaviors between the Malaysian Chinese and the Mainland Chinese when it comes to news like Russia invading Ukraine, or the death of Shinzo Abe. Many Malaysian Chinese support the invasion, and celebrate the death of Shinzo Abe, just like the Chinese in Mainland China.
Funny enough I encountered a lot of Malaysians of Chinese decent are like that, my conclusion is that they are nutcases, double standard and backward. No interest to make friends with them, they are time waster.
Malaysian government have opposition party. Also Yang dipertuan Agong that holds a lot authority. So they need to control how much corruption they can do. 😂😂
@@dadudice6461 Yang Dipertuan Agong does hold a lot of power but it was never used. 99.9999% of the time he only mind his own business. Even during the height of the 1MDB scandal, Agong never did anything. And as bad as the corruption in Malaysia is. Its not nearly as bad as in China.
Problem is modern governments have a hard time dying and being replaced with something new and better. Its sad but all nations stagnate, become corrupt, or implode eventually.
The Chinese looming real estate collapse is reminiscent of the market crash of 1929. People taking loans to buy stock, stock that was increasing based on that speculation and huge influx of cash. Suddenly people can't pay it back and they default on the loans they took out to buy stock and it trickles through the whole system.

Have been to China for many times. Last in 2018. I was able to make contact with several people there who gave me an insight on the true economic situation of the "average people". Even back in 2018/2019 the situation was already catastrophic for many. F.e. they could not afford to pay their rents or medical treatments. Pressure of the local party committees was high. I saw empty hotels and other large buildings that were disguised as if they were on normal business. And I took hundreds of photos of their huge, empty fany malls. A big difference to the years before! And that was all BEFORE the pandemic was declared. I was being asked the most stupid questions by businesspeople, because in that era China shut down Google without a proper substitute and VPNs became forbidden. This has caused many operations to stall, since they are not able to "google" even simple, non-political information like tech etc. In that sense, I would strongly confirm your observation and conclusions. Btw: Me and several others who were in China at that time (2018!) came back with a mysterious, very hefty "flu" that laid me down for 2 full weeks with fever and delirium.
@@hlatsiieydesu do you have access to, and use Chinas version of google? Or did you not stop to think about the other side of that comment. Google sells the majority of their data, why the hell would China want that type of company in their system?
Freeing the people to do what? Pick/make a new "government" that's just as bad or worse.... It's not a ccp problem,....it's a corrupt societal problem. The ccp treats Chinese people the way they treat each other daily. One authoritarian government will fall only to be replaced by another who learn (kind of) from the miss steps of the previous and be even more brutal. This is how Asians operate. The only Asian countries who have completely adopted democracy and understand individual rights are those that where broken free from the Asian society authoritarianism bubble are those taken over by democratic countries. True Asian society....China, the Koreas, Myanmar , Vietnamese, Kazakhstan....the list go on,...don't understand democracy and individuality or human rights. Asian society roots isn't based in what the ccp is....what Chinese society is.....is Brutal. It's deeply rooted down to the family structure.

2008~2018 is basically China's golden age, that party ended with the HK crackdowns and it's been downhill ever since. The 1st-tier urban China I'm experiencing now feels anxious and stagnant, hard to imagine how it is in lesser parts of the country.
Not criticizing the CCP directly, it was the same apparently for the camp uprisings in the Soviet Union. Political prisoners in Kengir kept to just criticizing the camp regime, rather than the Central Committee. They were crushed by tanks in the end anyway, regardless of how many banners they made saying "Long live the Central Committee of the proletariat!" and only demanding for the camp administration to be held accountable. An attack on Gulag was an attack on the government.
Pisses me off! I have Chinese friends who two years or so ago talked about going home to visit their families now don’t even want to talk about it. They are hurt and embarrassed about what the ccp is doing. We don’t talk about china anymore just our lives here in Texas.

Hawaii was starting to get riddled by massive multi-unit and multi-story homes developed by Chinese investors that pushed beyond zoning limits, and took up every inch of a lot. These homes were abhorrent and were designed basically as rental mills, inflating real estate market prices, blocking precious views of the beaches and city for other neighbors, completely defacing middle-class neighborhoods with ugly crackerbox homes. The local community had enough and pushed for enforcement of zoning laws causing many of these projects to halt in their tracks, and making the investors sell off their properties or pay huge fines. They were like pest infesting a beautiful hibiscus flower 🌺.
and who let the Chinese investors into Hawaii?

There's corruption in any government and local politicians (not just local) abusing power is not something unique to China. I watched half but there's a lot of generalities really. Every government also has methods to keep you in check like no fly lists in us, they control social security, banks and everything.

When mentioning the property buying abroad by corrupt and criminal Chinese, I recall the onslaught of buyers from China in Australia who snapped up so much premium properties, outbidding everyone else. It caused huge resentment from local Australians and got to a point it was almost pointless going to auctions at all. The only Australians smiling were the greedy real estate agents.
To think there are now so many of these properties, often sitting empty that are the spoils of massive amounts of laundered money.
These are crooks the CCP govt. are going after them.
Why didn't the australian govt. extradite them to China ??
When your country is a tyranny and your entire (perhaps not entirely fairly earned) fate/wealth may be erased if the rules considers you don't bow low enough... you would like to stash it in a place where that dreaded rule of the law applies.

I went to China in 2006.
I was with a group of volunteer teachers who taught at a Junior High School, for their summer school program. There were many strange things that happened, but I will share one of the many stories. They put us in a hotel which was filthy, had mold in the shower and so on.
There were several dogs outside in the hotel yard, that were very cute. Every day at least one dog disappeared, until there was only one dog left. When we asked the hotel staff what happened to all the dogs,
the staff person said in broken English,
they are not dogs or pets now, they are food.
This terrible event set the tone for the rest of my teaching groups stay in China.
Omg that’s horrible 😢😭

Not ever about becoming famous it’s about the dream of doing what you love and being able to afford a family at the same time.
If you work 15 hours for no home, no point in working and society melts down.

Communism and central dictates don't work! If people don't get fairly rewarded for their efforts... then they will cease making an effort. If they don't get fairly paid for their work... they will cease to work. If they don't get justice... they will cease obeying the law.
If anything, China will be a textbook example to show what happens when you give people freedom and what happens when you take freedom away.

Serpentza has been pointing these issues out for years now. I am stunned that various governments around the world have not hired him for consultations and advice on China. He seems to know far more of current and historical events than many "expert" advisors.
it's generally a bad practice to hire people based on their internet popularity and seemingly "i-know-everything" attitude
in Russia, there is a popular "china expert" Vavilov, and for most of the people he seems like really knowledgeable China expert, but he is just a moron that makes shit up
They have their own expert advisers who are very well connected don't worry, there are spy's all over the world and China is no exception.
And not having the "Expert" title after his name is exactly, why the bureaucrats that need his advice won't hire him. They either don't have the time to check his resume and therefore don't want to risk it, or have an elitist, title based hiring mindset.
Bc his advice would end up costing them money. They care more about the quick bucka
Why would they hire him? China is very much a part of their plans for us all. They are testing their systems in China. It is all coming to the west in the coming years, it's already started to be rolled out. They are intentionally collapsing our economies so the WEF can step in with its Great Reset, with its oppressive social credit system and global currency.

I would add that China also has a serious birth rate and aging population problem as well, which is why they increased they have increased the amount of children people can have twice now in the last five years. There is also the double reduction policy, which I guess is intended to reduce stress on parents and children as well as a decreased financial burden. The idea is that will free up married couples to have more children. However, it also really acts like way to minimize outside information and increase the amount of propaganda to children.

A Chinese financial collapse would be disastrous for Australia. It's so frustrating that almost every industry has become so impossibly dependent on Chinese investment
I disagree, Australians are pretty resourceful and resilient.
I hope us here in the states can help with that, if we get our shit sorted. At the very least America will always have a very diverse set of land and resources to fall back on that places like russia and china lack. I hope places allied with us have a better time recovering
Ah, we'll be right.
Thanks for being there and telling peoples what's really going on behind the curtains! We need more people like you !

My heart goes out to the people who had their money and dreams stolen. Shame on anyone who profited from that! I hope the Chinese people find a way to communicate and organize to start a cultural and political change, though I recognize the challenges are many due to governmental grip and misdirection. Thinking it's a local problem is part of the problem.
Your videos are always so interesting, thank you. I heard about this situation a few days back through a news channel (don't recall which one) here on YT and just felt devastated for these people. And I knew you'd have a take on it.
Don't feel sorry for them. you don't know them. from my own experience, they will eat your flesh and drink your blood if given the chance.
1960 my boss and his parents( a farming family) flee from southern china during the famine, his family was forced to give up their land or die and they left to Laos and he had seen many people who he grew up with get killed. 1970s he witnessed Vietnam War and was able to go into a refugee camp and eventually moved to the USA in 1980s because his dad helped US troops navigate around Laos. In 2022 he and his wife are millionaires that own their own farming company import and export and they are both US citizens. He has tears everytime time he talks about seeing his friends and family get killed back in the 60s

Wow excellent video !! So well presented and no lies but telling the truth..
It bothers me that many of my Chinese Malaysian colleagues feels more emotional attachment to China than they have with Malaysia. The way they spoke about China. Its like China is such a prosperous nation and they are supposedly govern wayyy better than Malaysia. In my heart I laughed so hard 😅😅😅. Bad as the Malaysian economy & government is. The government never turned the entire economic systems into a ponzi scheme. This is one of the worst type of governance ever.
Unfortunately many Malaysian Chinese got their news within their Chinese community, which is heavily infiltrated by the CCP. Then they spread the same news within their own community to reaffirm their beliefs. Which is why you see a lot of similar traits and behaviors between the Malaysian Chinese and the Mainland Chinese when it comes to news like Russia invading Ukraine, or the death of Shinzo Abe. Many Malaysian Chinese support the invasion, and celebrate the death of Shinzo Abe, just like the Chinese in Mainland China.
Funny enough I encountered a lot of Malaysians of Chinese decent are like that, my conclusion is that they are nutcases, double standard and backward. No interest to make friends with them, they are time waster.
Dont you have racism written into your laws that make non ethnic Malays into second class citizens? Could this be a reason why they are like this?
Malaysian government have opposition party. Also Yang dipertuan Agong that holds a lot authority. So they need to control how much corruption they can do. 😂😂
@@dadudice6461 Yang Dipertuan Agong does hold a lot of power but it was never used. 99.9999% of the time he only mind his own business. Even during the height of the 1MDB scandal, Agong never did anything. And as bad as the corruption in Malaysia is. Its not nearly as bad as in China.
Problem is modern governments have a hard time dying and being replaced with something new and better. Its sad but all nations stagnate, become corrupt, or implode eventually.
A kingdom, long divided, must unite

Its a chinese poem, and oh boy is it very correct
The Chinese looming real estate collapse is reminiscent of the market crash of 1929. People taking loans to buy stock, stock that was increasing based on that speculation and huge influx of cash. Suddenly people can't pay it back and they default on the loans they took out to buy stock and it trickles through the whole system.
But it’s not going to be saved by a magical war that’s on another continent and one that activates your industry. It’s seems that this may be much more permanent.
@@Kokangalang I mean, all signs seem to point towards war breaking out in Taiwan. It seems things are getting more and more polarized. I assume we might see larger conflicts through out the world as food prices, inflation, and inequality continue to rise.

I agree with this video. I used to travel to China for work; the oppression of its citizens is incredible. Glad we moved our supply away from that country, as a foreigner I didn't like the oppression. Sad, it is a beautiful country but ran badly.
as someone who lives in a third world country which nothing is going any better than china, it's truely heartwarming. we also live in a country with absolute no freedom and no guts to fight back. i know it's not a great scene to see such chaos. but this chaos is also a sign of courage. to be this brave enough to fight back is not an easy thing at all. just wanted to say, this is very inspiring as terrifying it is. and my heart goes for all innocent people in china. may the better days come for all of us..

Perhaps this is a good time for dependent countries to start their own manufacturing and reduce their reliance on rubbish made in China.
Cheap labor will prevent western countries from making things like clothing and shoes domestically, but those things don't have to be made in China. I would imagine Vietnam's economy is doing really well the last couple of years.
It was always a good time.

Actually, because of advances in automation, textile manufacturing has already been returning to the US, alongside numerous other industries. Such factories tend to have less human labor though, but still they do bring some jobs.
That's been happening for a while now. Chinese are moving production to Africa and Western countries are moving to Bangladesh and Vietnam.

Have been to China for many times. Last in 2018. I was able to make contact with several people there who gave me an insight on the true economic situation of the "average people". Even back in 2018/2019 the situation was already catastrophic for many. F.e. they could not afford to pay their rents or medical treatments. Pressure of the local party committees was high. I saw empty hotels and other large buildings that were disguised as if they were on normal business. And I took hundreds of photos of their huge, empty fany malls. A big difference to the years before! And that was all BEFORE the pandemic was declared. I was being asked the most stupid questions by businesspeople, because in that era China shut down Google without a proper substitute and VPNs became forbidden. This has caused many operations to stall, since they are not able to "google" even simple, non-political information like tech etc. In that sense, I would strongly confirm your observation and conclusions.
Btw: Me and several others who were in China at that time (2018!) came back with a mysterious, very hefty "flu" that laid me down for 2 full weeks with fever and delirium.
I also went to China and has a great experience with a middle class working family and didn’t have any mysterious illness. People just love drama.
I thought it was quite weird that there was no Google. The last time I spoke to a native they hadn’t known of Google
@@hlatsiieydesu do you have access to, and use Chinas version of google? Or did you not stop to think about the other side of that comment. Google sells the majority of their data, why the hell would China want that type of company in their system?

This is why they hate Trump- he was trying to end their servitude and it hurts first when the Marxists go mad to keep power.
Perhaps this year will be the end of the “ghost government”…I pray for their demise and the freeing of the people!!
Freeing the people to do what?
Pick/make a new "government" that's just as bad or worse....
It's not a ccp problem,....it's a corrupt societal problem. The ccp treats Chinese people the way they treat each other daily.
One authoritarian government will fall only to be replaced by another who learn (kind of) from the miss steps of the previous and be even more brutal.
This is how Asians operate. The only Asian countries who have completely adopted democracy and understand individual rights are those that where broken free from the Asian society authoritarianism bubble are those taken over by democratic countries.
True Asian society....China, the Koreas, Myanmar
, Vietnamese, Kazakhstan....the list go on,...don't understand democracy and individuality or human rights. Asian society roots isn't based in what the ccp is....what Chinese society is.....is Brutal.
It's deeply rooted down to the family structure.
@DeRucci Ouch....unfortunately it has some truth in what you wrote. Social unrest between the government friendly people and all the others could be the result

as someone who lived in China between 2008-2014, it feels weird to see China descending into a state like this. Just like you SerpentZA, i've seen China bloom, witnessed how much potential the country has. But looks like the problems they sweeped under the rug is finally spilling out. I hope the best for the people of China
you mean the part where 3/4 of the country lives in 19th century abject povery and that time they murdered 60 million farmers? yea, a great place...absolutely fabulous...building cardboard cities isn't "blooming"....if the government was overthrown and the people were allowed to flourish they could without a doubt be the top of the world ladder...she sheer amount of people (human resource) allows them to do things on a scale not many other countries are capable of...they have an abundance of unused land that could be feeding all their people easily and modern rural towns could spring up everywhere...it could be magnificent...but until the CCP is removed, that will NEVER happen...
@@wizardbeard69 the government can be overthrown its just that the people are being restricted by billionaires to do so but if you watch sri lanka recent videos of the parliament house set on fire its gonna teach someone that man power is at its full potential and not the government.
never said it was great, nor do I support the CCP. I am aware of the issues of China's "improvement" in quality of life -- nothing but an empty shell. But hey, at least people stopped peeing and pooping on the street, right?
2008~2018 is basically China's golden age, that party ended with the HK crackdowns and it's been downhill ever since. The 1st-tier urban China I'm experiencing now feels anxious and stagnant, hard to imagine how it is in lesser parts of the country.
China is just a giant Ponzi scheme
The background video of everyday life in china is helpful on its own, just because its plain and honest. Nice touch.
Not criticizing the CCP directly, it was the same apparently for the camp uprisings in the Soviet Union. Political prisoners in Kengir kept to just criticizing the camp regime, rather than the Central Committee. They were crushed by tanks in the end anyway, regardless of how many banners they made saying "Long live the Central Committee of the proletariat!" and only demanding for the camp administration to be held accountable. An attack on Gulag was an attack on the government.
Pisses me off!
I have Chinese friends who two years or so ago talked about going home to visit their families now don’t even want to talk about it. They are hurt and embarrassed about what the ccp is doing. We don’t talk about china anymore just our lives here in Texas.
