      @Emi I was verbally abused by an old HK lady when I studied in Australia. What she said sounded very racist although we are asian if not Chinese. My HK landlord simply did not want to have anything to do with me expect for collecting the rent monthly. I can't say all HK people are rude to mainlanders because I did meet some nice guys who were willing to help at any time. To my big suprise, Taiwanese people turned out to be very compatible with mainland Chinese. HK people should abserve and approach people without involving politics and stereotypes. I am trying not to generize people wherever I go. We need people like you.

    I have been living in China, Europe and Australia each for decades. And I will say that the happiest and most passionate ppl I have everyday seen are those who live in China. It’s might be hard to believe if u r from another countries, but I reckon u will see why I mean if you have really been there. I love many places I have been and I won’t anger if u don’t like China. I will only feel pitiful if someone misses out the opportunity to visit such a magic country only due to some social media voices.

    I am second generation Australian chinese, when I was young I thought china was a evil county to live in. The news, all the Media telling me people in China are living in hell. My father then said why do you find yourself the answers, oneday when you are ready? So during past ten years I visited China as much as I could, I am so falling love with China. People are so kind even I am a banana. There's so many conflicts based on our news, real chinese are so happy, they been living on higher standard than our OZ does They teach me from the scratch. So many wonderful memories and experiences. Especially during the COVID-19 outbreak, Chinese people believe all the humans' live are matters. I did receive loads of helps from local communities, now I am finally back to Australia, but I felt safer when I was in China, I don't know why, can't explain it. I will be definitely go back to China after settling my parents' businesses.

      How can you be a second-generation Australian, but not a native speaker of English? From your syntax, you are obviously not a native speaker. (Ex: "Why don't you. . . " "lives are matters (n)," vs. "lives matter (v)" "even I am," instead of "even though I am." I wholeheartedly agree with the point the video makes that Chinese people are kind and friendly; this has been my experience both in China and in the U.S. No matter what someone's political beliefs are, I think they'd have similar experiences interacting with Chinese. I just don't understand why the internet is full of Chinese posters who jump to defend China by writing as overseas 2nd gen Chinese or foreigners, when they clearly aren't. There just isn't any need to be anything less than genuine to defend such an easy-to-agree-with topic like this. (I'd never criticize a non-native speaker for some small syntax issues like these. I just mention them as tell-tale signs that someone was not born and raised in Australia.)

      I have been to China. I have met a few rude people, but that is expected no matter where you go. There are bullies in China, I've seen a couple (also helps that I can speak the language). I did not experience any robberies, but I was pick pocketed, so there is crime. Racists: Well, there are prejudices, especially to those who do not speak Mandarin (I speak Cantonese primarily, but am able to speak Mandarin). If a person does not speak Mandarin, but speak another dialect, to some, you are not considered "real" Chinese. One of my Chinese friends had told me that Mandarin from Taiwan is not real Chinese. They don't speak real Chinese. Go figure. As for drugs, it depends on where you are. Jackie Chan's son was charged for drug possession. You have to know where to look.
      As a whole, most of the people are good. I found it wasn't as bad at night, but I still was on the cautious side. It was probably due to being brought up to be aware of my surroundings because anything can happen in an instant.

Fortunately the truth is more nuanced , if you go to China to create mayhem , start an insurrection against the government and create riots and general disorder or rumour monger then yes the Chinese government will drop on you very hard , if your intention is to sight see , enjoy Chinese rich culture , live a decent ordinary life then the Chinese government will not even bother you they have better things to do than bother ordinary people like making sure the country runs smoothly for the majority....

      Top 2 pros of China are convenient and safety. When I went to China, I realized it was unhealthy to have to worried about safety issues in the States at night. In China, I didn't need to stay alert and it was so common for people to hangout at night in parks. There were many activities going on at night apart from drinking and parties. Online shopping could be delivered the same day. No extra membership fee like Amazon Prime, which still takes 2-3 days to deliver in most cities. And the delivery fees for restaurants are nothing in China, compared to a fixed fee plus 15% tips. Of course I'm willing to pay more to delivery guys.

    There's another reason that people often take for granted and can't see it through without some serious brainstorming:
    Hope.
    Hope makes living in China much much more attractive.
    See, we humans live on hope, which makes life so much easier and frankly so much happier as a result. Since China is one of the very few, if not the only, major countries that advance in leaps and bounds, most people living in China have hopes , realisticly believing that tomorrow will be even better than today. In the streets you constantly witness that hope by the sheer energy and speed of the society advancement, BIG smiles (literally) in in so many faces, and optimistic spirits from all walks of life 24X7, every day, and every year...
    This is not so in many other countries, even in Europe, where uncertainty about tomorrow or the day after tomorrow is almost always in the air for many people. This makes life more dulling, more tendency towards violence, and sometimes less bearable.

      Safe is a very relative term, covering many things.
      Food safety and hygiene, China can be unsafe.
      Honest prices from vendors, China is unsafe with the unsuspecting being cheated often.
      On the road, China is unsafe. Reckless driving, unqualified and uninsured drivers are common.
      Ever heard of children being snatched and disappearing in China? Parents are nervous to let kids out of their sight for this reason.
      Ever read the stories about weird mental dudes attacking kids with knives in kindergartens?
      Buying things and shopping online for branded products is unsafe with fake and counterfeit products everywhere.
      Protection with law and legal issues? Wildly unpredictable and so unsafe.
      Health issues ranging from respiratory illness to silly things like sunburn during scorching hot summers, China is again unsafe.
      Pickpockets in busy streets, wandering hands swiping things in Internet cafes, yep ... common in unsafe China.
      However, if you are a foreigner who walks around drunk at 1am frequently, you will encounter less aggressive drunks and street crime than at home.
      But on all the other issues mentioned, I 100% believe my UK hometown is far safer .... based on my many years in China from 2006 to 2019 in Hainan, Yangshuo and Beijing.
      "China is safe" is a common and untrue sentence. Which is why Chinese buy milk powder from foreign countries, warn people to avoid street food places who reuse oil, are nervous of buses and travel during Spring Festival and panic about kids being snatched.

Yes, you must be ready to defend your life no matter where you live and what your social status is. In china... probably the safest place I have ever been. I think that's a basic human right, to feel safe.

    I really like your list! I have lived in Beijing for almost 3 years and I am I glad I picked it over Shanghai and Hong Kong. The convenience is definitely something unique, especially since that convenience does not come at a cost, like in the west. And I love the public bikes! Cost of living in Beijing is much lower than you'd expect from a major city, which makes paying that higher rent a bit of a shock. From what I've seen, the rents are on par with those in EU capital - Brussels, Belgium- and the quality is almost as bad. If you move outside the city, you can find amazingly cheap apartments that are sparkling and brand new, but then you are subjected to a time-draining daily commute to work in the city. Food, culture, language, and travel are my top 4 reasons, so we practically agree there. Great list, Yvon. Keep up the great work!

    The Chinese way of life seems different, when I was there I ate in a cafeteria often and ate street food. The travel interesting but things are even more modern now. In Dalian, where I lived 2009, the city was modern but less modern than Beijing. The housing was abundant and improving. The people were helpful and less outgoing than now. Biking was difficult although was possible. The trains were slower and people were flying a lot. The beaches were crowded but the parks were easily accessed and comfortable. The sights there are unique and the experience incredible. Lots of food in the shops could be found at good prices. Your life in the city seems more distinctive than life in smaller cities. Ten years is a long to spend in the country. I spent seven months there. I know Holland., I have family there. You must like living in China to live there so long.

    Having lived in America for 30 years I really miss the freedom from fear. I go back to Beijing China several times in the past. I was born and grow up there. Because of time leg Of long flight I could not sleep first a couple of days after landed in Beijing I walk in the street late night. That feeling of freedom from fear is so fresh. Yes I lost freedom of criticizing government. But anywhere in China I go at any time I feel as safe as I do in my living room. To me it’s big deal
