What stereotypes do you think are true about people from China? We'd love to hear your thoughts! :)
"aiya" and "lah" (cantonese)
That background music is definitely a stereotype 😄
😂😂😂
its literally just youtube vlog music
jeremy emilio self-hating piece of shit
A little bit though.
But indeed, I like this music hhhhhhh
Ahahhahahah
"In one word, we have too many people here so you might see more people without manners than other countries" I feel like this also applies to so many other Chinese stereotypes.
I'm not chinese, but I'm tired of hearing things like "Chinese people eat everything, including pets."
I saw a video where a man was eating cockroaches
It’s kind of true, though. Many Chinese eat dogs. They don’t eat their own pets, but they do eat dogs.

@@PureVikingPowers this video is biased
30803080308030803081 Have you ever met a Chinese who ate dogs though? I haven’t-
Ppl always misunderstood chinese ppl and it makes me sad. Hope this video opens their minds of what Chinese ppl and China is rlly like?
After the events that are taking place I don't think people would really care about your statement
This was a great video. I loved the honesty of the brunette woman with short hair 😊😊
Her assertiveness is very attractive to me
Yes, appealing and good
I loved her hair cut as well. She rocked it. Her honesty showed her beauty from within. I loved it
Yeah Brunette is a good category on porn sites. Isn't it what we're talking about?
As a descendant from an Overseas Chinese I have to say that new generations aren't as loud and obnoxious as older chinese people tend to be,but as a mark of respect there are not so many complaints,it is a cultural thing! but on the other hand,we do have a MARVELOUS cuisine! so many specialties! not just Baozi and Peking Duck! try Spicy Noodles,Mopo Daifu,Prawns in Chili Sauce! lots of possibilities!
@@jemsonchan3367 From Guangzhou?
back in the days, if you wanna be heard or want to sell something to passerby's you better be louder cos there wasnt a loudspeaker phone. Anyways, China's a big country with lots of people, if they arent loud then you're never gonna be heard
overseas china is already blending with culture outside but keeping its own identity itself like chinatown, thats what i like from overseas chinese heritage, not like the mainland ones
Having prejudices and stereotypes is okay, before you know a country or a group of people. But you shouldn’t just shout out and pretend that it’s 100% true and it has been proven. Many prejudices come from misunderstanding. If you want to know, just find a local or someone who knows it and ask. Communicating is one of the best ways to remove prejudices and stereotypes
If you still believe your assumptions are real without any evidence, that doesn’t embarrass country or those people. On the contrary, it shows how stupid and worldly you are.
@@wouldiwas8520 The thing is, these people in the video come from very urban and very modern lifestyles, the thing about Chinese people eating dogs comes from their traditions (where it was very much).
So urban Chinese in more progressive areas may not do it.
However, I've seen lots of evidence to confirm it does still happen in certain places, a stereotype will never be equally true about all people across all areas, but there are some places where a stereotype is a stereotype for good reason.
@@cSedx00022 Not really, tide pods was a prank, Chinese people eating dogs is a traditional part of their cuisine. I don't recall seeing tide-pods at thanksgiving dinners.
It may not be prevalent where these particular Chinese people live (just as eating Grits isn't common for many Americans, but for certain parts of the south it is), but in more traditional areas (such as the South West) people still do.
Bear in mind, these Chinese people seem to live a non-traditional modern urban lifestyle, why would they eat a traditional dish like dog when they've been influence western culture (and it's love of dogs). So they'd be the last kind of people in China who would do this
@Santos Lewynn You sound like the kind of person who accuses others of racism at the drop of a hat, are you willing to listen and discuss with others or will you hold onto your beliefs in spite of the evidence?
These Chinese people are obviously not traditionalists, they've clearly grown up in a modern urban environment influenced by western culture (and it's love of dogs) their opinion doesn't reflect the more traditional parts of China (such as the south west) where there's regular evidence of large numbers of dogs being eaten www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/article/33223450/why-the-uk-doesnt-eat-dog-meat-but-people-in-china-do
Above is a link to a BBC article that discusses this very issue, don't piss on me and tell me it's raining just because you like to pretend you're holier than thou
@@wouldiwas8520 That goes double for Far eastern Asians as well.

I think it's an Asian thing. I hear the same and Spanish culture too.
not necessarily
Chinese's people are amazin'. They live far from english language, but they always try to learn it even it has a hard phonetic to them. Great Video. Best regards from Brazil. S2
I love the sound of Mandarin! Can't understand a single word though 😂
Yes, its pleasant
@@jeremyemilio9378 it's because you are so used to it you're getting sick of it + you must have associated with annoying chinese people you know? This is why I used to feel that foreign stuff are much better than my own country stuff, until I started to know more annoying people from foreign countries and well... my country is now just as bad/good as every other country
@@jeremyemilio9378 那是因为你讲的太差了。中文是具有声调的语言，讲起来如同唱歌一样。你大概是个音痴叭嘻嘻。
jeremy emilio ??Ok then
Ugly language. Coud beat German in a contest...
No one mentioned “every Chinese person knows Kung fu” stereotype.
Maybe cuz it’s too stupid to even get into this video…
I am Chinese and everyone ask me you you eat dogs,🙁😕. It kinda rude for me because no one really would eat there pet. That is stupid.
There is a story on weibo about a boyfriend cooked and eat his gf Husky. That only can exlain a lot about chinese eating habits. Moreover, chinese wet market is so fucking gross, they sell and consume evrything that is eatable.
@@feadea6300 I heard a story of Americans eating alligators that tells me a lot about American eating habits
@@feadea6300 I read a post about a cat who ate his owner. That explains a lot to me about cats who have a habit of eating their owners/human beings.
3:03 LOL, I agree with this verdict. There’s a certain Chinese way of talking about this subject. Most won’t directly answer the question with a “yes”, but they will give a long explanation intended justify their obsession with money.
I once heard about a Masters or was it PhD student (I think he was American) who asked his Chinese teacher why Chinese people ate dogs and the teacher told him "because we are friends with turkeys" :)
Half these things should be common sense .. only genuinely ignorant people think all Chinese are loud or rude , or that all Chinese eat there pets/ all types of meat. Come on, that’s just stupid.
A Spanish girl told me she belived covid is from a lab as Chinese have been eating bats for thousands of years and there was no covid ... I don't know what to tell her, coz it's like how you tell someone that earth is round not plat
So in other words, they are human beings with similar interests and habits like the rest of us?!?!? *surprised pikachu*
That was not the point. Everyone knows that. But u can get to know things that ar specific for this culture And their explainations why.
I miss and love China! Lived there 5 beautiful years, and hope to go back some day!
Loved this video! It was a great way for me to practice my Mandarin 😄
Same here 🤗
1) I have never heard anyone say Chinese are stupid.In fact opinion mostly is they are extremely intelligent
2) The tattooed girl looks like Yoko Ono
3) CCP Please let Hong Kong live in peace until 2045
Extremely Intelligent..! Is Hyped.
Difficult to say who manipulates the HK youngsters behind the protest, who barely have a chance to experience previous english govt anyway and thus easily instigated...
JY wong u can Rest In Peace. I think ur salary can afford a tomb in HK
Some friends of mine do eat dog though... However, that's not in every region. I also believe that it's important to get to know local people, because each part of that beautiful country is unique and has benefits. :) Thanks for posting.
Allison W The size of China is similar to the size of the whole Europe, and people who eat dogs as a tradition are located in certain cities. It’s like saying people from London eat stargazy pie then the whole European like stargazy pie... lol right? Plus Switzerland ( french speaking area) also has a tradition of eating dog meat.
not all traditions are beautiful. Sudanic woman`s circumstantial, for example. Beating a people for having sex for death with the rocks in Arabic countries, etc
That's not even true is it. You dont have any friends.
I’ve been to several regions of China. I agree, there is a lot of variation. I know that dog meat is very popular in Guangxi, Guangdong, and Guizhou, and I’m sure a few other provinces around there.
Thats a lie thats why there is a dog meat restaurant in every city in china! You can't go to any city that don't have one just check baidu maps every region has it but not everyone eats dog just because it's available th-cam.com/video/3I7oe3MKNF0/w-d-xo.html
Chinese are our closest allies and friends. Long life China from Russia!
Commies…
Commie bitches!
@@КИБАРКУБИЦА-с4д China is only namely Communist, it's more Imperialist than USA.
LOL, Chinese are very practical and cynical people, they won't do anything againts their interests, just campare China-Russia and China-USA trade numbers, and you will see that China will never sacrifice real profits to help out an "ally" that is more delusional, less practical and makes bad decisions.
Do they still own the US debt? or am i behind the times?
Can you ask chinese youth, do they feel lonely because most of them do not have a sibling due to one child policy?
I wouldn't say so. Maybe sometimes, but these generations haven't been able to experience their upbringing otherwise; it's kind of difficult just to imagine how it might be like had they had siblings. But, loneliness definitely hit the parents hard when the only kid grows up and eventually leaves home, because traditionally Chinese people have a strong family tie.
I’m not Chinese, but I’ve spent a lot of time in China. I think the role of siblings has been taken by their cousins and their classmates. Chinese people have relatively close relationships with their extended family. Most Chinese people are as close to their cousins as Americans are to their siblings. And, Chinese kids do spend a lot of time in school. They become very close to their classmates.
Actually, many Chinese families have more than one child. It’s pretty common in village areas.
If everyone is an only child, then that becomes the new norm ig
first，Many families have more than one child，i'm the only child，Although you have one less playmate，In a sense, you have all the love of your parents
Thanks for raising the voice of Chinese, misunderstood and subjects of bias too often
One stereotype I agree with the Chinese is being gadget obsessed. Because of this, I sometimes look at my app phone to see what's new on Instagram (social media). I get distracted with this while doing my homework or watching something good on TH-cam / TV.
Ye, I think the gadget obsessed stereotype is true, my mom is obsessed with TikTok.
@@Lianhua253 Good to hear. : )
Ooo, i liked that format )) out of studio looks pretty cool tho
yes, chinese are very loud. family gatherings are very loud. however, regarding no manners, people need to remember that different cultures simply have different social norms and ways of acting and need to put that into perspective before judging
Nobody: Chinese speak too fast
Me: Watches this at 0.75 speed
VArsovski10 They actually speak at a normal speed..
It’s only the lady with the short hair that’s speaking a bit faster then normal. But everyone else is speaking at a normal pace
me as a chinese : can't speak Mandarin fast... ARGH
i watch everything at 1.25x usually, but for this video i had to watch in normal and pause to read the subtitles
That's the beauty of Chinese. Words are mostly two syllables, easy grammar means your brain isn't tied down with correctness, DA DA Da Da, like a machine gun!
I'm from Europe (Portugal) and I've only heard the food stereotype, which I've never believed in. Their meat is soft though, so it's strange for sure. It's not like cow, chicken or rabbit meat. But in my country people even eat cooked snails! Which is freaking weirder... Anyway, in my country we have the most respect and admiration for Asian people. An alliance and friendship that is centuries old. Hope one day I meet their country, learn their culture and make friends. And also have fun (if they like to party hard muahaha)
You sure bout the alliance part
The meat is soft because they cook it for a long time
I love this! Thank you!
Even if you couldn't be in China, Marina thank you for doing this!
Next stop, Phillipines please?
Hi, here in Brazil a stereotype that we speak of China is that every Chinese knows how to fight kung-fu.
Yes, exactly this @Manish Erande
Asians are great people generally.
The thing about thinking about your future is really good and I support it too, cause even I see that the guy I'll give my heart to is worth a commitment or not. 😀😀😳😳😊
Your comment has opened my eyes and helped me to better understand the stereotype that they were materialistic. Thank you

Can anyone else hear the high pitched noise during the video?
That black haired girl is sooo nice omg i fall in love
On the materialistic/superficial/obsessed with electronic part, I think every person living in a capitalist, individualistic country is like that now. I mean look at the average American living in the cities. The other stereotypes are actually pretty true but obviously not all Chinese are like that.

that first guy is so handsome and sympathic...he should be my boyfriend 😂
Lol you single
I keep seeing people say we eat dog meat. That is like 3 parts of china at max. I never met a person who ate dogs my whole life and I only knew when I heard someone say we ate dogs. If you think we are “lying” then get the hell out. People who think that without thinking strait shouldn’t go spilling misinformation like it’s real. I get it if it’s a joke but many people take it as far as thinking everyone eats dogs and crap. I would never eat bugs, dogs, cats, and other wild animals. My only source of meat ever is fish, cow, pig, chicken, and a few more sea animals.
Really you are in China? I just subscribed your channel yesterday. Welcome!
Thanks for this... I only got the eventual 他/她, 对，怕怕， 妈妈， 中国，... But it was good to listen to mandarin. Also, love short haired girl. Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷 for those Chinese out there who happen to access TH-cam

Ask the same questions to Uygurs who live under Chinese aggression.
@@kyliejenner6059 And their kids are taken and grown up forced Chinese culture.
Mehmet Yok This is so sad 😭
Come to xinjiang and see for yourself U stupid.
I think stereotypes about Chinese culture may differ depending on the country. In France I would say the stereotypes about Chinese people are : they eat dogs, they work a lot for almost no money (even children), when someone is sentenced to death the family has to pay for the bullet in the head, they kill their babies if it's a girl. I don't think anyone in France has the stereotype of Chinese people being loud, impolite or stupid. I mean Chinese immigrants living in France are almost invisible, kind, polite (not like some other immigrants if you know what I mean).
In Portugal they tend to be discrete
"they kill their babies if it's a girl." -> This... I never heard before
@@pauvermelho It comes from when China had the "only one child per couple" law, from 1979 to 2015. Many babies where either hidden or killed, especially if it was a girl.
@@neoDarkSquall Oh I remember now... but I thought that only happen in very small cases. It was so bad that my brain erased it. But what happen if a couple had more than one baby? What did the authorities do?
@@pauvermelho I don't know. But so many babies were hidden that the official studies say it's more than 13 millions.
@@pauvermelho if they have more than one child than they have to pay the fine and that's it. Killing their children if it was a girl happens very rarely and only in villages.
I am not Chinese but I will ONLY eat dog/cat when I am starving, cuz I KNOW that my dog/cat will do the SAME thing if I was paralyzed and couldn't feed them.
Was away from the computer and for a split second I thought I was hearing some Slavic language.
They still eat dogs and cats but mainly popular in less developed area or rural villages
Basically, city people= no dog, urban = 😋😋😋😋
The first question LIES
First guy says that’s really stupid but the fact is some Chinese do eat dogs. My co worker said he did many times. They don’t eat their pet dogs of course but if you not into pet dogs then it fair game.
Not all but some.
Some Americans eat dogs , some eat alligators , some eat rats
You know it was a delicasse in Switzerland too? Or cats in Italy? No? But it was, it's forbidden now by laws, but it was tradition is villages in Europe too.
Yes, there are dog eating restaurants in chinese countryside, but it's fading out pretty much, maybe not fast enough though(my opinion). We eat pigs and they can be highly intelligent too, or we eat indians sacred animal. These are traditions, local customs; and even you said the majority not into it.
Popular stereotype i was expecting to hear was kung fu related
I feel like a big majority of Chinese people do, indeed, eat a LOT wider variety of animals (and parts of animals like chicken feet, duck neck, duck head, chicken heart, sheep kidney) than the majority of westerners...but of course nobody eats their pet...else it wouldn’t be much of a pet.
I guess the first guy in the video got miffed about the question that he replied in English
Here's a BBC news article talking about how Chinese people abuse and eat dogs www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/article/33223450/why-the-uk-doesnt-eat-dog-meat-but-people-in-china-do
I know everyone watching this wants to see themselves as enlightened and act like they're so above believing in stereotypes, but this stereotype has merit, just not in every part of China.
These Chinese people obviously grew up in non-traditionalist urban areas, so of course they'd be less concerned with eating a traditionalist Chinese food, especially when they've been influenced by the west (which loves dogs), but the stereotype often still applies
What About to do video with Slovakia in it (like stereotypes or somethink similar to that)
I find japanese girls less money hungry than chinese and I'm chinese cbc in Canada vancouver bc hitting club malls meeting women
This is from just my experience
makes me mad im chinese and I love my dog more than anything else in the world, it really isn't funny
umm is no one going to point out the giant bruise on the woman with the short black hair's arm? Look at 4:14 or any other point in the video when she's speaking.
google/youtube what is "cupping"
The one thing I would like to see people talk about, is "X" people talk very fast. I seem to hear that with Chinese speaking, and I know I have heard it with Pakistan Urdu speaking (the guy that I worked with told me even his wife and family say that he speaks Urdu very, very fast).
Ye, when I was in school, occasionally some of my friends would ask me to talk in mandarin, and whenever I did, 9 times out of 10 they would respond with…
“What?”
So we're going to ignore in the comment section that the fact that the tattooed girl is a real cutie?
Her a few years younger and before the tattoos would be perfect.

People start to fart in side a train it gets so congested .
i would never eat from chinese restaurants. i know “they denounced” the myth but i never know what kind of meat im eating. i feel like chinese people eat everything and here in america thats what they give you. and its sad bc chinese food here is not authentic cuisine but my distrust makes me stay away from it

How about the reaction China had when Pelosi went to Taiwan yesterday? The way they handle it and the relationship with Taiwan still shows how rude and ignorant this country is. That’s the culture rooted within this nation.
Dangerous government
@@nuggetscr that's true for sure. Chinese people are hard working and educated but government is dangerous
Yeah, the Chinese government…has some, interesting flaws, that’s why my parents moved to USA tbh.
AAHhhh... You're asking these city people if they eat everything. Ask people in the country - the answer will be yes.
Indeed, my mother lived in the country while my father lived in the cities and they told me a lot of things, especially my mother who would ramble on about how “soft” city people were and how picky they were in terms of food.
They ate insects, dogs, cats, snakes, mouses, bats... almost everything that is possible to eat without any toxic in it. That's why that got Sars and Corona.
No asshole only a small amount eat bats
Americans eat alligators
Was bad driving chinese or japanese thing?
Truth or myth, Tiananmen Square massacre
We don’t eat everything!

I won't say they will eat their pets but they sure do eat just about everything.
Fact chinese people still eat dogs. It's mostly a seasonal thing I thing and it's not anybody (especially dog owner). But why should they think it is wrong ? I don't want to sound like a vegan but in ancient china people kept pigs as pets too. So no Chinese are not eating their pets but they don't see the issue eating animals that could be pet. I think judging them on that reveal our own hypocrisy. Processing amials for meat is always horrible in a way or another. But is is or can it be ethical is not a setlled subject for circumstances are alway changing.
