After 4 long years I finally made it back to China! This the 1st video in a brand new series on TH-cam where I document my journey through 4 different cities and showcase what China is really like in 2023! Thank you all for your amazing support! So honored to have such an amazing community supporting me! Thank you for subscribing and supporting the channel! ~ Cyrus王德中
Just landed today at Shanghai, missed the connecting flight so at some hotel outside Pudong. 2 months in China and will finally got to see our HQ in Dongguan :)
If you want to see the past *1000s* of years of Chinese history, visit _Xi'an._ If you want to see the past *100s* of years of Chinese history, visit _Beijing._ If you want to see the past *10s* of years of Chinese history, visit _Shanghai._ And if you want to see the *future,* visit _Shenzhen._
How much money is evil beijing BRIBING you cyrus janssen to promote china?? I know you are receiving many bribes from the commies. Why don't you take your video camera to the Many normal poor neighborhoods. I too have been to china many times, and the vast majority of the china neighborhoods are poor and broken down. There is alot of poor people in china. You just showing the tourists locations and downtown locations of china is does NOT represent the china after covid. You are showing the wrong side of china.
You & Alex are so great! Really grateful for ambassadors like the two of you as well as other TH-camrs who are spreading the truth about China rather than negative, slanderous propaganda about China. I discovered Cyrus’s channel at a time when all you see on TH-cam are negative & slanderous videos about China. It was such a breathe if fresh air & relief to see there are objective & clear headed people, especially more special when they are westerners, who are able to do these videos to show a different side of China that are not just propaganda & slander. I am very thankful for TH-camrs & ambassadors of peace like yourselves!! Thank you & forever grateful! Continue this important & very much needed great work!
I've visited China four times and saw different regions. Every time I've visited... I've seen big improvements. I would even be bold enough to say that the major cities in China are now overall cleaner looking than the major cities in the US. For one example, I've visited public parks in Dalian and was amazed at how clean they look. No litter or graffiti anywhere... even the skateboard rink looks clean. And there are lots of people out there enjoying the parks... but seem to have respect for the facilities there. Where I live, public parks are often vandalized and abused. When I return home and tell my co-workers about my travels to China.... they refuse to believe me or the pictures I took. They just want to believe that I was shown around a "fake city" built for showing tourists. The fact that I was walking around these cities unescorted... still won't change their beliefs. No, these people still want to believe that China has "backward smoggy cities, where everyone still rides bicycles and wear grey old clothes because they are all poor and starving". I often hear ignorant statements such as: "The poorest Americans still live better than the average Chinese". The irony is these people never traveled to China or even want to watch these videos. And yet... these folks talk like they are all "China experts'. Very sad... and infuriating at the same time.
Love the peacefull atmosphere , no annoying "pranksters", no thugs, no ppl mocking ppl, no harrassments, no annoying drunk ppl, no crazy ppl, no addicts , etc.... find a western city with 20 mln. Ppl that peacefull....good luck . Lol

@@Shenzhou. We like our cash and have more privacy. The government in China can see everything you do. Giving up your freedom and privacy for convenience isn’t a good idea, in my opinion.
@@Grendelmonster8u The US government is way more capable of surveillance on you, but for both US and China, they don't have the motivation to watch innocent civilians' daily footage which is too costly. What China is doing is using the database to protect the majority good against the minority bad, and utilizing cutting-edge technology to make life more convenient, and those are acceptable in Chinese tradition. What you like or dislike is your business, not China's.
@@Grendelmonster8u BTW, if you really don't enjoy the convenience of digital payment in China or want to escape from some sort of surveillance, it's easy to withdraw some cash in an ATM in every city or a county, don't misunderstand that, cash is the basic option in China, not a premium member one.
Cyrus, you do not owe Shanghai anything. Shanghai is pround to be played a big role in your life. Thank you so much for your voice. From a Shanghainess now lived in Toronto longer.
So nice to see the joy you guys have in your special walk. I stayed in China right through the pandemic, cared for by so many Chinese friends. Please keep taking the love and the understanding to the world. Thank you both. Dave.
I loved the walk and talk! I follow Cyrus Janssen, Reporterfy, the Duran, the new Atlas, all of you guys are inspiring and peacemakers! Love from a german, which is living in Brazil for decades and starting doing business with China, which I hope to be able to visit in this lifetime!
Indeed. Cyrus Janssen's message is about Building Bridges, Not Walls between China and the USA. If China and U.S cooperate, then the whole world benefits. If they don't then the whole world suffers.
Congrats Cyrus. Your Mandarin has improved 100%. You're no longer mis-toning your words. I guess coming back to China makes all the difference. Can't wait to get back myself.
My last visit in Shanghai was 2018. I love China. I saw it on my own eyes how China has become so modern, I even ride the Maglev train. By July 2 my son will be in Beijing & Guangzhou for his campus & educational tour at Sun Yat Sen University for 2 weeks. He then will also witness his heritage and compare how Chinese people work hard. I am a oversea Chinese lived in the Philippines. I love your show Cyruss & Alex.

I am from Philippines' welcome to Philippines, I love China, I visit Hongkong and Macau' I hope I have the opportunity to go to Mainland China. I love the History and civilization, Culture.
I am a Chinese and now live in Chongqing. I am very grateful to finally have a blogger who can truly show the real China to the world. Welcome to China 🇨🇳!
15:56 that interaction gives me chills, you guys are great, I've been a huge fan of the work Mr Cyrus has been doing promoting a healthy relationship between China and the Westworld. Here in the Dominican Republic our government has faced a lot of pressure from USA to block any major plan on invest from China and that really bothers me cause it affects directly our people and the overall growth of our country. Hope this can change in the future. Thank you guys. 👍🏼
Hopefully your government has the steel to withstand the US bullying..infact the World are facing some degree of bullying from the US, worst example is Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan (these countries have gone backwards many years in civilization after they were invaded). US is the only country which set up military bases round the world and pressure others to do their bidding/interest. We need a new world order against this weakening superpower, which is struggling to hold on to their power & influence in the world.
I visited Shanghai in the summer of 2017 and my friend Shen who is a Shanghainese studied college at my hometown Nashville USA showed us around the modern city and we were fascinated by how beautiful and world class the city is. The food is always good, the people are very nice and friendly. This city should be a must visit on everybody’s bucket list. This video of yours brings back great memories. Thanks Cyrus and best wishes on your future project!
man I am so proud of you, your Chinese is really good ngl bro!! I really appreciate what you've been doing for China, showing people the truth about Chinese people, cultures, and everything. keep doing what you doing man, we need people like you that can bring the cultural connection between the west side and the east side. I wish in the future there are lots of people who haven't been to China who can really hear what's going on in China. Much love from CN.
Puxi is the old district. Pudong is the new district. Puxi 浦(Huangpu River) 西（west) means 「west of the Huangpu River). Pudong means the 「east of the Huangpu River). I was born in Guangzhou, China. We have the Pearl River 珠江 in Guangzhou. For us, we have the Henan 河南 (South of the Pearl River) district and Hebei 河北district (North of the Pearl River) similar to Pudong and Puxi districts. Pudong is the new district but cheaper than Puxi. Been to Shanghai many times, but I have yet to travel back to my own birthplace to truly visit the Canton Tower 廣州塔，nicknamed 「Little Slim Waist」 小蠻腰，and the new subway lines that now connect to Shunde 順德 , Foshan 佛山district, my paternal ancestral hometown, and also the ancestral hometown of Bruce Lee 李小龍 and Ip Man 葉問。
I have been wait for this video coming since the day you landed in China, again you both are truly legends for telling world the truth about China, the fairness she deserves for long time, I can’t wait to move back home myself this summer for good, it is great to come to western countries to experience life and at the same time the life abroad teaches me that I should never take China for granted again, Cyrus, hope you have great time in China and hope this trip will bring you a lot more opportunities 😊
I lived in rural America for the pandemic. I'll never forgive a huge segment of my fellow Americans for the callous disregard for other people's lives I witnessed during that time.
Also, do not forget more than 1,200,000 Americans died due to the pandemic. World biggest health care failure, despite two American companies created world best Covid vaccines. But Americans don't reflect on this, learn from it. They keep blaming China. This is why US society fail.
Welcome back to China. Thank you for your honest opinions about China. No country in the world is a perfect country, but China is heading in the right direction to improve the living standard of its citizens while at the same time giving a helping hand to underdeveloped nations.
Hey what a neat episode. I only just discovered the second TH-cam Alex they other day as i researched China for my up coming trip to beijing. As an expat Chinese twice removed since my grandparents left China in the 1930’s. Now as a full grown senior Chinese Canadian these videos are really warming knowing that there are those that wish to share the truth and light for global peace. Keep up the great work both of you guys! Peace! 🍻🔥🙏🏼
Welcome to China, I'm a Chinese, I feel touched after watching this video, finally someone is helping to publicize the real China, before this China had too many negative images in the West, in fact Chinese people are very friendly, our ideal is to want the world to have love and peace!
I'm sure dissidents would just love going there. How bout the Dali lama? Think he'd come out positively differnt? I'd guess he'd disappear like any other person who upset the ccp
@@joshlewis575 The 14th Dalai Lama received funding from the U.S. A total of *1,735,000 U.S. dollars* (equivalent to $16,370,805 in 2022) was devoted to the Tibetan program for FY1964. How do you think Chinese government would react to a supposed religious leader bought off by the Americans?

I grew up watching the BBC in the U.K. I was proud of the BBC. Now I’m living in Hong Kong. Having witnessed the social unrest and how that was reported, as well as misleading reports on China compared to what I’m seeing on the ground, I’m disgusted by how the BBC has turned out these days. It’s nothing more than pure propaganda.
I watched BBC news growing up to better my English. It was a great resource not just for learning, but for understanding western view and culture. And then… I got so disgusted with its distorted reports on Xinjiang, Hongkong, and the pandemic. I deleted the app on my smart devices for good.
Who would have thought back in Feb that this video with Cyrus and Alex (and Julia in the background) at the bund would be possible. China is back in business and the next phase upward has just begun. Exciting times ahead.
Is Good to see you back in China. Do tell us more of your travels , daily lives of the ordinary people , magnificent places and cities , their advance technology etc....that I can't find or read in the main stream western media. By the way, I am a Malaysian Chinese who does understand Mandarin .
So many Malaysian Chinese have visited China several times on their own. It's so easy n convenient. Why do need the western media for advice on how to travel in China. You seems so timid n unadventurous
Cyrus and Alex, thank you, let the truth be told unbias and real, pure and striaght forward, nothing more nothing less, keep going for the world to hear and see the truth, nothing but the whole truth.
Congratulation Both with great wisdom With great honour from the world Be thruth in humanity God bless Both of U With health and properities Long live u both 🙏🙏🙏 👍👍👍👍👍👍🙂🙂🙂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
It is great to see you Guys walking together in Shanghai. We are looking forward to visiting in 16 weeks time. The countdown has begun. It has been way too long since we last visited, and I can't wait to see how much it has changed. I have been watching both your TH-cam Channels grow for several years now. Keep up your good work 💯 Cheers from Australia 🦘🌏 ❤
When I was the first time going to China it was friends have ivited me. I was sceptic bc of my image of China. Well it was 2005 and youtube hadnt Channels like yours so i had no Idea what I will meet there. I was so impressed how I was welcomed by the strangers in the streets. In Shanghai I wasnt able to read my booklet I got with historical chinese Textes my friend gave me (in English of course). All the students in the Parc were coming to talk with me. So China for me was love at the first view (or maybe feeling). I felt at home there. Since that time I was several times in different places in China but my Experiences always were the same. So you were right saying go to China see it yourself. I guess that would help a lot! I am so much hoping to be back as soon as possible. So many places are waiting for me to be explored.
I seriously hear the voices from within the both of you. How both of you wanted the entire west to see and feel China through your senses and lenses. It’s so touching, emotional and beautiful of your whole intention for sharing the truth and reality of China to the west that hasn’t visited China. May both of you be so blessed for sharing the truth to the world.
Good job, Cyrus, a little bit history of the place you look at. It is The exact Place where it witnessed China's a hundred years humiliation. (Huang Pu Jiang Kou- or 黄浦江口 in Chinese). The river mouth saw Western Gun Boats and Japanese warship sailing through, and it saw the western nations carved many small nations/or concessions not far from that river bank, and it saw a sign with "Chinese and Dogs are not allowed" in front of those concessions. Not to hate no one, but to remind all Chinese that we will not let it happen again.
now some restaurants in china have signs that say no japs allowed...and ive seen girls in videos wearing kimono and got scolded by locals as disrespectful...just terrific
Nice to see people coming back to the Bund in Shanghai. I went to Shanghai every month for 2 years 14 years ago. The normal crowd on the Bund promenade was about 10 times of what is shown in this video.
Welcome back, Cyrus! As a follower since the early stage of this channel. I am so happy for your achivement! Also I am so happy to see you are relaxed and enjoying your time in China! 🍻❤
Thanks so much Cyrus and Alex for sharing Live In China. That's the right message to International Audience who had been influenced by mainstream media about Chinese - You gotta go to China see for yourself.
@@francisarinze6928 Pained with boredom at the repetitive "mainstream media" trope. I, too, am happy to see the streets of Shanghai alive and bustling after the COVID tragedy. Maybe I should be asking, what exactly do you think "the mainstream media" is saying about that contrasts with what we see here? Maybe you refer to the more serious concerns about Xi's government? Do I need to list them here? But one has nothing to do with the other. Nobody suggests Shanghai is anything but a prosperous modern cosmopolitain city. In fact, whenever Shanghai gets attention in "mainstream media," it's to highlight Shanghai's remarkable growth and modernization, even using terms like "miracle." Nobody disputes that. So when I see comment after comment implying the mainstream media is strictly anti-China, including lots of comments suggesting China is a utopia and the United States, specifically, is a country of anti-Chinese hate, I feel compelled to push back against that false narrative, because I think it's harmful. Only later did I realize that this entire comment section is just a big echo-chamber, and that neither foreigners nor average Chinese citizens are represented here, so I was really just wasting my time, but I'm glad for that. Average Chinese citizens know their government sucks, but they're blocked from TH-cam, and average "Westerners" know there's a difference between average Chinese citizens and their sucky government. So who am I persuading? I don't know. Maybe some Chinese student with a VPN? I doubt any foreign racist rednecks are watching this video. Or maybe if only one of the countless Chinese internet trolls can see that "the West" isn't out to get them, and that nobody wants to make war on China, I won't have wasted my time.
We have learned so much from CGTN The Point-Heat-Hub, Einar Tangan, Lijijing, Martin Jacques etc.. Documentaries are amazing....Independent journalists get a voice
I am grateful with China government to place people’s health as the first priority during pandemic over anything else. Human lives are the most valuable asset in humanity. 🙏🙏❤️
Many Chinese warmly welcome Westerners to our lands as visitors. However, many Westerners (but not all) are increasing regarding Chinese in their lands as unwelcome.
Tons of thanks for your great work 👍 I’m one of those expats who enjoy amazing life in China and I 💯 agree that we all are much more similar than different and people in China are wonderful people who love their families and work hard to create better world for their kids and beloved ones ❤
@@pedroferreras450 There are expats in China that talk about political events. Most of them realized how they've been fooled by the media in their home countries about China, until they actually set foot in China and seen what life is really like here for themselves.
You also don't see criminals robbing or threatening you on their trains like they do in NY, Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, etc. The USA has ruined it's reputation by catering to criminals. China doesn't put up with that.
We Brazilians are looking forward to making more business and strengthening relations with China and Asia. 🇧🇷🤝🇨🇳🌏. Great to see the development of South economic countries 🤜🤛
Visit _Shanghai_ to see *10s* of years of China's history. Visit _Beijing_ to see *100s* of years of China's history. Visit _Xi'an_ to see *1000s* of years of China's history. Visit _Shenzhen_ to see the *future.*
So happy you exist Mr. Janssen... What you show us and explain cannot be found in Anglo-America media. It's very sad to see the paranoia in our Corporate NEWS network that keeps them from showing China. Your work is indispensable. We will still watch the US/G7 relenting and join force to work with BRICS/China.
@@CyrusJanssen :Truth is treason in an empire of lies (Confucius). Your resolve to promote peace through knowledge and truth, in an Empire of lies (the media) is commendable.
Today, the platform accidentally recommended Janssen's video. Although my English is poor, I can feel the feeling from the expressions in your eyes. I also saw the evaluation and recognition of the two in the message area. At this moment, I recalled a sentence that President Xi said two days ago when he met Bill Gates: "The friendly exchanges between China and the United States lie in the people." Janssen I don't care about your nationality, as long as you have the mentality of seeking common ground while reserving differences, respect each other, and the disputes on the earth will definitely decrease. Support you 👍👍👍
After 4 long years I finally made it back to China! This the 1st video in a brand new series on TH-cam where I document my journey through 4 different cities and showcase what China is really like in 2023!

Hopefully your government has the steel to withstand the US bullying..infact the World are facing some degree of bullying from the US, worst example is Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan (these countries have gone backwards many years in civilization after they were invaded). US is the only country which set up military bases round the world and pressure others to do their bidding/interest. We need a new world order against this weakening superpower, which is struggling to hold on to their power & influence in the world.

Hi Cyprus,
Greeting from San Francisco. Thanks for sharing the real China. People needed to hear and see this.
Thanks for watching and supporting!

The real China ? Yeah ok..

Alex has certainly makes me get more interested in Chongqing. Before that, I looked at Chongqing as just another city in China. Regards from Malaysia
I visited Shanghai in the summer of 2017 and my friend Shen who is a Shanghainese studied college at my hometown Nashville USA showed us around the modern city and we were fascinated by how beautiful and world class the city is. The food is always good, the people are very nice and friendly. This city should be a must visit on everybody’s bucket list. This video of yours brings back great memories. Thanks Cyrus and best wishes on your future project!
man I am so proud of you, your Chinese is really good ngl bro!! I really appreciate what you've been doing for China, showing people the truth about Chinese people, cultures, and everything. keep doing what you doing man, we need people like you that can bring the cultural connection between the west side and the east side. I wish in the future there are lots of people who haven't been to China who can really hear what's going on in China. Much love from CN.
It was a rare opportunity to have met you on this trip, best wishes my friend.
And you have your own interview with Cyrus 😊😊😊😊
@@thisiskevin1000 YESSSSS
Wow, great to see you two working together! Keep up the great work, all the very best!
Puxi is the old district. Pudong is the new district. Puxi 浦(Huangpu River) 西（west) means 「west of the Huangpu River). Pudong means the 「east of the Huangpu River). I was born in Guangzhou, China. We have the Pearl River 珠江 in Guangzhou. For us, we have the Henan 河南 (South of the Pearl River) district and Hebei 河北district (North of the Pearl River) similar to Pudong and Puxi districts. Pudong is the new district but cheaper than Puxi. Been to Shanghai many times, but I have yet to travel back to my own birthplace to truly visit the Canton Tower 廣州塔，nicknamed 「Little Slim Waist」 小蠻腰，and the new subway lines that now connect to Shunde 順德 , Foshan 佛山district, my paternal ancestral hometown, and also the ancestral hometown of Bruce Lee 李小龍 and Ip Man 葉問。
I have been wait for this video coming since the day you landed in China, again you both are truly legends for telling world the truth about China, the fairness she deserves for long time, I can’t wait to move back home myself this summer for good, it is great to come to western countries to experience life and at the same time the life abroad teaches me that I should never take China for granted again, Cyrus, hope you have great time in China and hope this trip will bring you a lot more opportunities 😊
I lived in rural America for the pandemic. I'll never forgive a huge segment of my fellow Americans for the callous disregard for other people's lives I witnessed during that time.
Also, do not forget more than 1,200,000 Americans died due to the pandemic. World biggest health care failure, despite two American companies created world best Covid vaccines. But Americans don't reflect on this, learn from it. They keep blaming China. This is why US society fail.
@LisaNonie 😆. Yeah, I'm the guilty one. You people are so sad.
Poor you. I can’t imagine a sadder life than living with such bitterness and anger and lack of forgiveness 😢 very sad
Did you forgive the Chinese for exporting the Wuhan virus to rural America and the rest of the world?
Rural American. I completely understand how you feel.

Welcome back to China. Thank you for your honest opinions about China. No country in the world is a perfect country, but China is heading in the right direction to improve the living standard of its citizens while at the same time giving a helping hand to underdeveloped nations.
Hey what a neat episode. I only just discovered the second TH-cam Alex they other day as i researched China for my up coming trip to beijing. As an expat Chinese twice removed since my grandparents left China in the 1930’s. Now as a full grown senior Chinese Canadian these videos are really warming knowing that there are those that wish to share the truth and light for global peace. Keep up the great work both of you guys! Peace! 🍻🔥🙏🏼
Awesome!
Welcome to China, I'm a Chinese, I feel touched after watching this video, finally someone is helping to publicize the real China, before this China had too many negative images in the West, in fact Chinese people are very friendly, our ideal is to want the world to have love and peace!
Shanghai is so beautiful and vibrant. Thank you gentlemen.
It seems that anyone who visits China comes back a positively different person. Moral of the story: Everyone should visit China to see for themselves!
I'm sure dissidents would just love going there. How bout the Dali lama? Think he'd come out positively differnt? I'd guess he'd disappear like any other person who upset the ccp

Great to see you back in Shanghai Cyrus. Enjoy!
I grew up watching the BBC in the U.K. I was proud of the BBC. Now I’m living in Hong Kong. Having witnessed the social unrest and how that was reported, as well as misleading reports on China compared to what I’m seeing on the ground, I’m disgusted by how the BBC has turned out these days. It’s nothing more than pure propaganda.
I watched BBC news growing up to better my English. It was a great resource not just for learning, but for understanding western view and culture. And then… I got so disgusted with its distorted reports on Xinjiang, Hongkong, and the pandemic. I deleted the app on my smart devices for good.
@@Sonyhamster today BBC now Bullshit Broadcasting Channel. I lost respect, I don't watch the BBC now, I do have the channel.
Who would have thought back in Feb that this video with Cyrus and Alex (and Julia in the background) at the bund would be possible. China is back in business and the next phase upward has just begun. Exciting times ahead.
Cyrus: I can't wait to travel to China again and visit all my favorite places IN CHINA.
Also Cyrus: Hey we're in Seoul, South Korea.
Most likely to save on plane tickets. Much cheaper to go to Seoul first then travel to Shanghai from there than flying direct from Canada.
@@edukid1984so true lmao….
Is Good to see you back in China. Do tell us more of your travels , daily lives of the ordinary people , magnificent places and cities , their advance technology etc....that I can't find or read in the main stream western media. By the way, I am a Malaysian Chinese who does understand Mandarin .
CHINA BOLEH 😊
@@danielng4454 China is going to be a Superpower soon
So many Malaysian Chinese have visited China several times on their own. It's so easy n convenient. Why do need the western media for advice on how to travel in China. You seems so timid n unadventurous
As a Chinese, I really enjoy your video. Thank you for telling the story of China.🥰
China is Amazing!👍
Welcome coming back!!!! Love your videos.
Thanks for sharing unbiased messages. Looking forward more from your detailed, thoughtful conversation! Everyone deserves a voice.
Cyrus and Alex, thank you, let the truth be told unbias and real, pure and striaght forward, nothing more nothing less, keep going for the world to hear and see the truth, nothing but the whole truth.
Visited Shanghai way back in 1989. Incredible what China has accomplished.
1989 oh dear. That was long long time ago. It has changed exponentially compared to Western countries which hardly moved.

Like the genocide of Muslims they are still doing? What a wonderful country /sarcasm.

It is great to see you Guys walking together in Shanghai. We are looking forward to visiting in 16 weeks time. The countdown has begun. It has been way too long since we last visited, and I can't wait to see how much it has changed. I have been watching both your TH-cam Channels grow for several years now. Keep up your good work 💯 Cheers from Australia 🦘🌏 ❤
Amazing! Thank you for the support
When I was the first time going to China it was friends have ivited me. I was sceptic bc of my image of China. Well it was 2005 and youtube hadnt Channels like yours so i had no Idea what I will meet there. I was so impressed how I was welcomed by the strangers in the streets. In Shanghai I wasnt able to read my booklet I got with historical chinese Textes my friend gave me (in English of course). All the students in the Parc were coming to talk with me. So China for me was love at the first view (or maybe feeling). I felt at home there. Since that time I was several times in different places in China but my Experiences always were the same. So you were right saying go to China see it yourself. I guess that would help a lot! I am so much hoping to be back as soon as possible. So many places are waiting for me to be explored.
I seriously hear the voices from within the both of you. How both of you wanted the entire west to see and feel China through your senses and lenses.
It’s so touching, emotional and beautiful of your whole intention for sharing the truth and reality of China to the west that hasn’t visited China.
May both of you be so blessed for
sharing the truth to the world.
Really appreciate the kind words of encouragement! Let's make 2024 the best year!
Good job, Cyrus, a little bit history of the place you look at. It is The exact Place where it witnessed China's a hundred years humiliation. (Huang Pu Jiang Kou- or 黄浦江口 in Chinese). The river mouth saw Western Gun Boats and Japanese warship sailing through, and it saw the western nations carved many small nations/or concessions not far from that river bank, and it saw a sign with "Chinese and Dogs are not allowed" in front of those concessions. Not to hate no one, but to remind all Chinese that we will not let it happen again.
now some restaurants in china have signs that say no japs allowed...and ive seen girls in videos wearing kimono and got scolded by locals as disrespectful...just terrific
Thanks to both of you for bridging the West & the East.
Made my comments to early. Great to see you and Alex were together at the bund!
I've been in China for 10 years and I love it because I don't need a car. Life without a car in upstate NY is difficult.
Nice to see people coming back to the Bund in Shanghai. I went to Shanghai every month for 2 years 14 years ago. The normal crowd on the Bund promenade was about 10 times of what is shown in this video.
Sure was, back in the day the Bund was packed!!! It was so nice to walk this promenade again and see the tourist and locals come back
Welcome back, Cyrus! As a follower since the early stage of this channel. I am so happy for your achivement! Also I am so happy to see you are relaxed and enjoying your time in China! 🍻❤
I miss the old weekly show where you, Daniel Dumbrill, Jayoe Nation and others would just simply talk about China. Seems like a lifetime ago.

Thanks so much Cyrus and Alex for sharing Live In China. That's the right message to International Audience who had been influenced by mainstream media about Chinese - You gotta go to China see for yourself.
Blah blah blah "mainstream media" blah blah blah... 🙄
@@ChillDfect Why are you trolling? Are you so pained?
@@francisarinze6928 Pained with boredom at the repetitive "mainstream media" trope. I, too, am happy to see the streets of Shanghai alive and bustling after the COVID tragedy. Maybe I should be asking, what exactly do you think "the mainstream media" is saying about that contrasts with what we see here? Maybe you refer to the more serious concerns about Xi's government? Do I need to list them here? But one has nothing to do with the other. Nobody suggests Shanghai is anything but a prosperous modern cosmopolitain city. In fact, whenever Shanghai gets attention in "mainstream media," it's to highlight Shanghai's remarkable growth and modernization, even using terms like "miracle." Nobody disputes that. So when I see comment after comment implying the mainstream media is strictly anti-China, including lots of comments suggesting China is a utopia and the United States, specifically, is a country of anti-Chinese hate, I feel compelled to push back against that false narrative, because I think it's harmful.
Only later did I realize that this entire comment section is just a big echo-chamber, and that neither foreigners nor average Chinese citizens are represented here, so I was really just wasting my time, but I'm glad for that. Average Chinese citizens know their government sucks, but they're blocked from TH-cam, and average "Westerners" know there's a difference between average Chinese citizens and their sucky government. So who am I persuading? I don't know. Maybe some Chinese student with a VPN? I doubt any foreign racist rednecks are watching this video. Or maybe if only one of the countless Chinese internet trolls can see that "the West" isn't out to get them, and that nobody wants to make war on China, I won't have wasted my time.
We have learned so much from CGTN The Point-Heat-Hub, Einar Tangan, Lijijing, Martin Jacques etc.. Documentaries are amazing....Independent journalists get a voice
I am grateful with China government to place people’s health as the first priority during pandemic over anything else. Human lives are the most valuable asset in humanity. 🙏🙏❤️

Today, the platform accidentally recommended Janssen's video. Although my English is poor, I can feel the feeling from the expressions in your eyes. I also saw the evaluation and recognition of the two in the message area. At this moment, I recalled a sentence that President Xi said two days ago when he met Bill Gates: "The friendly exchanges between China and the United States lie in the people." Janssen I don't care about your nationality, as long as you have the mentality of seeking common ground while reserving differences, respect each other, and the disputes on the earth will definitely decrease.
