Bear paw comes from Eastern Europe and properly cooked is the most delicios meat, at least that is what i've been told by everyone who tried it, including my father
@Dourado, Butter is not really used by the Chinese. You can find it in their shops but that's mostly for foreigners. Most don't know how to use it and its a little expensive for how they use oils.
Please google the great leap forward campaign of mao zedong.
It's because twitter is banned in China 😂😂
I've not eaten an animal in over 26 years. It's not necessary. Go vegan!
I remember reading something about a Chinese city releasing thousands of birds to seem more sophisticated and western but the citizens caught and ate all the birds.
😭🤣
This could be false, but it's hilarious, and not out of the realm of possibility.
If all the civilization would behave like the Chinese the entire ecosystem of the world would be destroyed in 5 years
The general mentality of China in regards to how they treat the planet and animals is truly terrifying
Xander Lander the west nukes the pacific to see what happens and that’s just fine
@@hohepa1004 , some country using nuke does not justify china's attitude towards exotic animals... what kind comparison r u doing? ??
@@hohepa1004 so they are eating radioactive animals?
Basic biology in action: *OVERPOPULATION* of Homo 'sapiens sapiens', the not-so-wise species that outright refuses to consider the effects of its own irresponsible breeding, which is now well beyond the _carrying capacity_ of miracle planet Earth, our only home. *THIS IS THE FUTURE* of the world. This is the shoving of our faces into the dire facts that justify cynicism. And we _don't_ want to know about it. Silly we, makers of our own demise.
@Tube But most wildlife will be gone by then, so it won't matter at that point.
In Bangladesh every year, there's at least two reports in the media of Chinese men being arrested trying to poach Royal Bengal Tiger bones for making Chinese medicines. The Bengal Tiger, our national animal is now an endangered specie.
Insane! No difference in moggy cat bones V tiger bones, except in their superstitious magic 'medicine'. Trouble is, the scarcer it becomes, and the richer the chinese become, the more at risk the tiger becomes!
There's a lot of poachers in Africa and Asia killing thousands of animals every year for Chinese "medicine"
@@DipakBose-bq1vv does this have anything to do with what he said?
I am sorry about that! China also used to have thousands of tigers, but because of Mao Zedong's anti-pest campaign, during which so-called "Tiger Killing Teams" were mobilized and at the same time, tigers were being hunted for wealthy officials and by people for so-called medicines and food. Today, there are probably only about a dozen tigers in China.
I am studying classical Chinese medicine and know that acupuncture works for many ailments and many herbs have healing properties, but we never use animal products and encourage scientific verification.
That’s awful. It seems like the world would be a much better place without this weird Chinese medicine and whatever mysticism makes them want to make soups out of animals without actually eating the animals.
I lived in Chelsea, London, for 11 years. I remember walking down tree lined streets and seeing notices pinned to these trees from obviously very distressed pet owners offering rewards for the return of their pets, mostly cats. I investigated and learnt that they ended up in Chinese restaurants, and on the menu as stewed rabbits. Absolutely disgusting. What is even worse is that the RSPCA never responded, in a country of animal lovers, not even making any effort to publicise the facts of this systemic and persistent crime..
You wouldn't even know if aliens landed in China, you would only find some weird bones 👽💀
Not even the bones would be spared. They would grind them for medicinal purposes.
🤣🤣🤣😅😅😅😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Well said love that comment x .
Ok so we should build a big "land here" sign in china 😂
If they land America the stupid government things it's smarter then them.
And how that end we all could see in various Hollywood movies 😂
The irony in this is that the famine was caused by killing off tens of thousands of sparrows....
Because they didn't spread the seed?
@@ppumpkin3282 Because sparrows kill pests that feast on crops
Birds help fruit and vegetable plants to spread through pooping their seeds across their migratory route. With technology now you might think that we don't needs birds and bees, but the reality is not what it seems.
Mao? It was millions. the dumbest man in chinese history ever
All because Mao thought killing the Sparrows would give the people more grain.
I note many Communists and Socialists are lacking in understanding agriculture and the ecosystem. Pretty unscientific group if you ask me.
I second this. After 2 years living in a third tier city in Hunan Province, a bird landed on the security grill over my 11th floor apartment and I was shocked. A bird! I realised I hadn't seen one in so long. Coming back to live in Wales, the amount of birds have been intense and beautiful.
He was eaten the next day.
Sorry, when you say intense and beautiful, are you talking about the feathered variety back in Wales, or
I have four sulphur-crested cockatoos that come every morning to my balcony rail for breakfast; theirs not mine!
Imagine that you see the bird land near your apartment window. Then just as quickly as you saw the bird, you see a hand reach out and grab it, dragging the bird to its demise. Someone just got their lunch.
We must all work together to protect what remains of wildlife and renaturalize habitats; since the 1970s humans have destroyed 60% of all wildlife. It was systems that did that, global systems.
No regards for nature tells you something about how they view human life also.
they will eat each other soon,,, the corona people...
This is the most creepiest thing I ever saw. How will be such an experience to live in an area without the sound of birds? This is a nightmare!
China is a nightmare. That's why all Chinese want to move abroad, and bring all their worthless habits with them.
@Lon Spector chinese culture aside, your comment of "And they're coming here" sounded pretty racist.
@@ChimiMyChanga73 It's true though. And it's not race because it wouldn't be as bad with Taiwanese or old-school pre-communist diaspora like Singaporeans and Southeast Asian Chinese
@@ChimiMyChanga73 Don't be a dumbass, Chinese are buying up property worldwide. They are invading everywhere. Legally, but still an invasion.
Well, on the bright side, there's a WHOLE lot less poop to clean up all the time
Different cultures eat different things. But killing endangered animals is universally wrong.
All needless cruelty towards animals is universally wrong, but that doesn't stop 95% of people from abusing animals at every single meal and often in between.
Whether or not an animal is endangered makes no difference. It's wrong.
Killing is wrong. But killing in wartime is okay. Thou shall not kill, but there are exceptions for the church. Killing cute animals is wrong, especially in the states. Killing cows will get you killed in india.
Anyways, nothing is 'universally wrong', just accepted or not accepted, based on the passage of time.
NimsChannel unfortunate, but true.
Torture of animals is also wrong brother..
French: hold my Ortolan...
Why there are no birds in China? - Not in the sky. Go to the wet markets and you see them.
they have literally eaten every last animal over there, even the owls,
Think about the desperation and famine people went through during Mao... You’d eat anything if you had to.
@@gabriellazane673 yeah that was 70 years ago you still starving?
@@solraczevehc3761 A shit ton of american comfort food exists because of food shortages from the great depression. we ain’t in a depression yet people in the midwest still eat jell-o salad and chili with spaghetti like they’re stuck in 1935. food tradition, regardless of if they originated from desperation, still has an impact on modern tastes
@@gabriellazane673 so why didn’t the US eat every animal in the country? And there’s a big difference between processed foods and wild animals. Maybe get another tradition for food. Because the world cannot survive without animals specially wild animals
the lack of appreciation of life, even human life, is disgusting, horrible, evil.
Peter Torbay Eat some infected bats in wet market and spit 😯
@Peter Torbay wumao named Peter Lol
@Peter Torbay The Chinese Government mowed college students down with machine guns and ran them over with tanks at Tiananmen Square.
and there are billions of them which makes matter even worse like they are going to eat the entire planet.
That is what communism makes you. It desenstizes you to suffering. It is a known fact that children who are abused becomes worser abusers themselves. It applies to whole societies too. Human values that we hold needs nuturing else we return to our baser survivalist mode very quickly. I agree with Machiavelli that we are borne brutes.
They also fund the poaching of animals abroad through the black market.
@8534964 yeah, meanwhile they point and screech that it's "muh capitalist imperialists" that are to blame.
@AbanG GedanG the Asian animal black market greatly contributed to the extinction of the world's smallest whale in Mexico. The whales were net by catch for Mexican poachers looking for a fish to sale on the black market.
Yes. I live in California & we have a high number of Chinese & Asian poachers. A few years back they caught an ex-Chinease national that was poaching black bears. He was killing black bears solely for their pancreas or gall bladder (???). I don't remember what organ it was.
This is from Traditional Chinese Medicines, consume Exotic Animals Part like Tiger Penis and such are part of it. That's why new Virus always pop out of China because Snake Wine, Bat and such also part of some secret recipes from TCM.
I find it funny now Soft Propaganda talk about how TCM able to CURE THE VIRUS with 2 prescriptions of TCM from 2000 years ago.
Our Rhino's here in South Africa are facing an extinction because of poaching. It's a problem.
The Chinese customs are easy. Their rule is IF IT MOVES, IT’S FOOD.
@Peter Torbay CCP bot ;)
@Peter Torbay Damn you really suck at comedy
@Peter Torbay also China You if it moves then TAX it, You see that Island is ours, You see that 3rd world country its OURS. You see China name in the MAP its OURS.
@Peter Torbay Also soo china
Wildlife: Exist
Chinese people or rather call them SAVAGES: Ahhhh YES A FREE BUFFET.
Chinese culture is evil, nothing to be proud of
I've lived in China for four years and it's only just occurred to me that I never see or hear birds and how weird that is considering I grew up with birds in my backyard everyday. My dad actually loves birds, he makes little custom feeders for them and is always reading about them so he'd probably be really sad to learn that
I hope you'll find your way back to a more natural world.
In Greek mythology if you are in an open forest with no birds around, you are at the gates of hell/underworld..... just put that out there.
What's an open forest,a forest without trees?
Wow! Thank you.
@@Kwanglebeh A forest with no underbrush and in general fewer trees, making it open for travel.
@@Kwanglebeh A glade.
makes perfect sense, birds represents freedom and Satan ain't having that!😂
In college I had a roommate from Guangzhou and it blew my mind when she told me there was no wildlife where she grew up, not even pigeons. I thought every city in the world was infested with pigeons!
Not if you eat them all there's not
2 years later: why are there no longer bats in China
Yet your Buddha teaches every life is special animals in all??? They eat everything out the oceans no matter??
@@eddiewallace7709 lmao china is an athiest country not buddhist.they killed lots of buddhist monks during the revolution if communism.and conqured tibet that's why dalai lama live in india go learn history.and china was never a buddhist majority county it is toaism country.buddhism reperesent west part(15%) which they dominated forcefully in 19s.
they are eating bat soup.
They really just trying to eliminate everything pure on this earth
Graham Real that was the mindset of mao
Mao once blamed food shortage on a small sparrow like bird and it was killed almost to extinction.
Yea... that went really bad for china
@@slayer2450 If those locusts ever hit China like people are predicting, it might cause the whole country to collapse from food shortages... until they turn the locust into food, that is.
What were the birds called Scapegoats?
And then the bugs ate the harvest and millions died of starvation! True story!
have to look this up. just wow.........
My Chinese friend told me that she had never seen squirrel in her life . Shocking
I saw a whole bunch of squirrels in a park in Taipei. Some old people were feeding them, rather than eating them.
I see two as I type, in my backyard
Me neither,but maybe that's because I live in Australia..... there's plenty of possums though.
I am seeing a bunch of squirrels in China actually.
I've never seen the giant squid in the inky abyss of the ocean, and I'm crestfallen that I'll probably never get to see such an interesting and magnificent creature ;-)
I want to add that the absence of birds a lot of times it's attributed to the high pollution levels in the air. Also the things that birds eat collected the pollution and act as a poison. Birds are very sensitive to the pollution in their environment.
could not live in a country that treats animals like that.
If I saw someone in the park just casually grabbing and putting live sparrows in a plastic bag I would flip out.
you would get arrested in china for doing so if your a foreigner
The American sparrow is a crap bird. I'd like to send China all of them.The English sparrow is fine.
The Chinese just grab birds in American parks. First time I saw it I was so confused.
Keep an eye on those Chinese couples in the park.
Ganjalf The Green That’s all ducked-up!
When my Thai wife came to the USA and saw Canada Geese. She immediately said that Chinese people were catching them to eat or sell in restaurants.
they behave like animals TO the animals
"Chinese people eat EVERYTHING." They would love Soylent Green.
I remember in Iquitos, Peru, many wild exotic animals were sold at the local market including crocodiles and turtles. There were even jaguar and anaconda skins for sale. That said, the vast majority of meat being sold was chicken and pork, and the really exotic stuff was hard to come by. At the same time, the surrounding Amazon rainforest was nearly untouched, and absolutely teeming with life. I had the impression that there was a semi-decent ballance maintained between poaching and conservation.
There is a joke that if the chinese were to see corona virus they would eat them too.
well in a way that's exactly what happened
Probably they did and yes it was again RAW
That is what happened. A lab worker took a vile of it home because she heard it was good seasoning for cream of sum yung gi
They ate it so fast, they practically INHALED it! ^_^
😅😅😅😅 that was definitely a good line!
The Chinese tourists take pics of the seagulls in my town I guess they never seen them before.
thats got me bruh xD
Steven Mackintosh when we were in the navy some sailors used to throw seagulls alkaseltzer it’s horrible
Locust i tell locust they visit now and soon they will migrate to that country or continent
Just because some people live inland and they are not familiar with those sea birds, man, don't just listen without thinking! And it is not because people eat up all the seagulls!! I used to live in different cities back there and there are birds everywhere.
I travelled around China and it was really weird. No animals except in restaurants. I do a lot of out door thinks hiking, diving etc. but it really affected me after a month. I was in some of there botanical gardens and not a single bird sound. It was creepy. I just got out. But it’s a different culture.
I too experienced the same thing when I traveled to china for 3 week business tour from my home country india,,
I was amazed to see that I never found birds and other wild animals from Guangzhou to Shanghai train journey,,
When I returned to india,we discussed in my family and friends
maybe you were on the desi-daru???
Whenever I open my window I hear litle birds sing it's such a good relaxing sound that you don't want to lose.
Not hard to see why vermin or a pandemic could get started in an area with no animals eating bugs
The covid is a modified virus, mixed with sida...it was transformed in a laboratory
@sang kliwon Science guys say the virus was modified in a laboratory.
Professor Luc Montagnier, a French Nobel Prize winner, said in an interview on the French channel CNEWS that the Covid-19 virus is partially lab grown. His research showed that it contains small sequences from HIV, the AIDS virus.
Your science looks more like kabbalist crap...of people who think they create their own reality and think it's ok to molest kids cause for them good and evil it's a matter of opinion. Sick people deceived by old entities.
You’re assuming people in China are not eating bugs.
oh they eat bugs too ... indeedy so
@sang kliwon The creators of the virus left their tools at the crime scene. pShuttle-SN vector backbone transgene insert in the Wuhan virus is evidence of genetic manipulation. Every virology lab in the world that has run a genomic analysis of the coronavirus now knows that the coronavirus was engineered by human scientists. Genetic engineering vectors have left behind “fingerprints”; the tools for genetic insertion are still present as remnants in the genetic code. pShuttle-SN sequence proves the coronavirus pandemic was definitely engineered in a lab.

I Love driving around with you guys! Thanks.
Don't forget Mao had them all killed causing a huge famine.
I understand that this sentence can be used in literally any context.
Well we all know it's because Mao didn't like the birds having their Freedom.
There was literally human cannibalism during the Great Famine and the number of cases is bigger than your estimation.
Moa blaming birds, for his stupid blunder.
Whenever you say 'Mao made them' do anything, it resulted in disaster.
''3000'' years of so-called civilization only to still be at this stage of civilization. What a waste !
China was far more cultured before last century. Remember all those beautiful Chinese paintings of birds, fish and butterflies in natural surroundings. Chinese culture today seems totally degenerate and spiritually bankrupt with no appreciation of the beauty of their old philosophy. So sad.
That's REALLY not their fault. As someone who adamantly hates the CCP and everything they stand for; it's really honestly on the rest of the world. All major countries dropped the ball and let China get this bad. We let them destroy their own culture and heritage. We let them genocide their own people to the tune of 1+ billion. We denied the Chinese people in their most dire need and the CCP is the nasty result.
Ryanowning yes
@@Ryanowning Maybe. UK gave away Hong Kong without the fight, with a deal to keep it as it was in HK - it didn't last even 20 years. I suspect there is something else going on. Major bad guy on the block was dissolved, so new bad guy had to be invented. So they did exactly as before. Transfer of money, technology and resources to China(As they did to Soviet Union since 1946 - R&R gave away new Jet engine, and everyone was surprised Mig15 was soon shooting at US planes in Korea).
Most countries had the will to get rid of communism. Even India was socialist for decades, with similar population numbers, nuclear weapons - but they do care for their culture and wildlife - they don't consume everything. China now is number 1 producer of pollution - they dump it right in the ocean, and pollute the air, eat everything that moves. Who should care about Chinese culture if not Chinese? They tried to erase it before. It's free will, you can't save people who don't want to be saved. If we'd interfere, and something would go wrong, we'd be blamed. And it is exactly what's happening now - foreigners are the enemy. Economy is stagnating, because of "Encroachment of decadent imperialists". They made their own bed, now they have to sleep in it.
don't confuse civilization and culture. civilization can be concentrated in a few people and systems...but culture permeates nearly everyone and in china, the culture is to eat whatever.
It says something, that I raise Chinese Beauty Snakes (basically their version of the Corn Snake) which are becoming endangered China and are, basically, one famine away before they are "eaten into extinction" ...😢
Lovely snakes. We have rather deadly ones here, though: Red-Bellied Black, King Brown, Taipan. But, like all wildlife worldwide, they will be getting rarer as human population grows and pushes out native wildlife for our suburban deserts! Check out our beautiful big carpet pythons as well. They live in the canefields and eat any rats.
Interesting as usual, fellas. I always learn from your posts.
Yeah, I never actually noticed it for months. Then one day I realized there are no damn birds ANYWHERE! It's creepy once you understand.
I noticed on my first month here. it's never not creepy waking up and not hearing one bird sound
@@caroldias5219 that's so depressing..
Sad but true. Even within my own Chinese family we joke as soon as we see an animal at the zoo, the immediate question is, "is edible?" Younger, more educated Chinese are slowly weaning of the practice.
Do you think that's a spillover from famine-times and the "that's chinese medicine" is just rationalizing it (maybe even to themselves) or where is it from in your opinion?
@@peterpain6625 When i lived in Shanghai, I was explained it was exactly as the video says, it is leftover mentality from the great famines during Mao. It is true that the younger generation does appear to find it unnecessary.
Not trying to be too extreme here but southeast asians also do eat things like tarantulas as well. It is a region thing for lack of better words. The famine means nothing to contribute to that mentality in all honesty. Tell the Japanese to stop killing whales. Can you?..no that region just don't see life as we do. Wean off but that won't change who you are in all honesty. And when you have to be the more 'educated class' in a society to finally not point at a animal in a zoo and ask if you can eat it, that says a lot.
@@Clyjade_of_God_and_Putin When it comes to Japan they respect their food.
The "Itadakimasu" is a thanks to the plant or animal whose life was took, the farmer who grew the crops and the cook of the food. In general everyone involved, including the plants or animals.
When it comes to whales you need to kill just one whale for a lot of food. That was the initial mindset. And nowadays more and more Japanese are against the killing of whales. In addition to that recently Japan started to hunt whales officially again (before this they used a loophole and killed ~700 whales per year), but stopped hunting in foreign waters. However it gets less and less lucrative, so sooner or later it will die out. Whale-tourism is much more lucrative.
Japan is pretty much the nation which puts the most thought into their food and you definitely can't compare it to the behaviour in Mainland China.
@Papyrus Okagbue Unfortunately too many follow the practices explained in this video. Of course many don't, but that doesn't change what is happening.
When I saw the title of the video my first thought was that they ate them all.
True
Thank you for an informative and thoughtful video.
As I'm watching this I feel blessed that I have 3 peacocks at my door asking for me to feed them.

@@Barnaclebeard no
I have hundreds of birds, dozens of species, on my property and my life would be so barren without them. The flock of tree swallows who nest here are a daily joy. We have an outdoor couch here and not an hour ago I had a "wild" turkey come inches from me. We also have an outdoor bathtub next to the birdbath in the garden, so while I take my bath I get to watch the birds taking theirs. My cup runneth over.

im surprised you guys are so calm while driving the freaking motors and talking so articulate.
4:40 lots people are in India but they don't eat monkeys and stuff
Yeah. In many Indian videos, I can see a lot of cows. So they seem to have enough beef that they can eat. Good for them.
Chinese Cuisine: They eat everything that doesn't eat them first.
Kenneth Crips Dinos are well missed around the world!
only the name of the animal is not eaten in China.
I believe dragons once existed but we’re killed and consumed into extinction .
Including Nations.
Thank you for talking about the uncomfortable stuff. This made me incredibly angry but it's useful knowledge to have. Knowledge like this is what wakes people up.
I would not want to go any countriy where there is no wildlife. Wildlife is often more interesting to me than the people.
Come to Aus!
I knew this episode was gonna be good, when even the thumbnail had me lmao
no birds usually represent bad air and or bad eco environment. Thats why I love having birds around me, as its a good sign of good eco health
Ok...India too deal with pollution...but their are birds...in new delhi...like one of the most polluted state...their are still sparrow, crow, pegion, parrot, release dove, bat too in night😅 many more...
3 years living in rural Jilin province: maybe five birds the entire time. I lived 40 km outside of a town of 100,000 people on the side of a mountain. Insects were the only wildlife we ever saw.
@Lon Spector Chinese are already eating insects. The problem is its harder to make insects extinct.
@ insect adapt in one two generation. Look up DDT
Do you think birds would live in jilin where the temperature is -25C° in winter ? 😂😂😂
The only place colder that I was was when I went up to Harbin...
About bugs: In the summer of 1999 we were told that we would probably have problems with ladybugs. Everyone hollered to get inside when they started to see what looked like rain. We hunkered in place for about 4 hours until finally we were able to go outside. All the vegetation near the temple was gone and the trees were eaten down to their bark. We also noticed that one of the mountains about 5 km away had gone from green to completely brown with stones.
2001 we were walking up another mountain And we had to climb up a tree to get away from billions of Phasmids (walking stick bugs).
@@thetruemorg What was the color of the ladybugs? I ask because those that are not red and black are poisonous.
Nice video.
"actkthually the snake is VENOMOUS, not poisonous"

@youkesh100 they can fly, but they do it seldom.
Got caught in a bird trap? Winston almost became someone's soup!
Now we know what they will be eating when they run out of animals.
If no one said it yet, here's my backstory: My son was in second grade. He would go out and grab snakes and bringing them back in the house to show me. I told him that he couldn't do that because some of them might make him sick or even kill him. And he needed to know which ones were poisonous. Six months later he walks in with a snake dangling from his finger again. He informs me the following"Mom, it's venomous not poisonous. This one is not venomous." He was using his library time to study reptiles and amphibians. 😊❤
So.. snakes aren't poisonous, they are venomous. ❤❤❤
Darn animals are like one of the best experience possible when traveling to other countries
Catching urban birds in the park doesn't say you appreciate life. That was disgusting.
Not all Chinese does this. Majority of Chinese are opposed to this actually
@@orbitalpotato9940 Too bad it doesn't make a difference to China anymore.
@Black.Flaps .Dont.Match I don't think you've ever been to China based on that comment. All you know about China is from western propaganda and conjecture
@Orbital Potato
I guess you forgot the Great FireWAll that prevent any negative about China to come out. Funny you said "all you know about China is from Western Propaganda" and whose fault is that? Oh right, your China's government which BLOCKED anything "bad energy" to come out and CONTROL people.
The very fact CCP CHOSE to CONTROL people and only show PROPAGANDA from China and expect people to "know China".
Papyrus Okagbue the fuck does trophy hunting have to do with this
Because they killed them all, right?
Edit: Almost right... They just eat them instead.
Mao actually did have the population go out and kill most of the birds yes. not sure why the guys have failed to mention that. Also rampant pollution and use of pesticides.
@@avanconia stop making up lies about Mao. communism rules!
@@tommytooter2895 no. Just no
@TheDrewmanShow: is that really true? about Mao? Can you say from where you learned that? I am sincerely curious what someone would do that. Presumably it was because they were seed eaters?
@@Souljahna just Google "mao killed sparrows". It's been a while since I've heard of that info, but I believe the reason was because the sparrows were eating their crops. That turned out to be the wrong move, however, because reducing the sparrow population, which ate a bunch of insects, caused swarms of locusts instead.
In the end, they'll only have each other left to eat.....
With their casual attitude to the value of life, it wouldn't be a hard decision to make I guess.
I had a Chinese friend who came to America to study English. I took him out of town to visit my mother and he was very intrigued about the bird feeder and why we fed wild birds for amusement. I believe at the time he mentioned trapping birds was common. I just recall he was very bewildered by the idea of a bird feeder. I also took him on a number of other interesting adventures. I took him shooting. I took him through his first drive through restaurant. I showed with a tool kit, with a socket set. Yes, here he was at age 25, carefully playing with a socket set, never having seen one. (They use open one end wrenches.) (Plus he would call someone to fix it, the DIY concept was new to him.) At the time, I was doing remodeling on my mother's house and putting some screws into the floor with power drills was something crazy as well. (They use nails, and houses are made of concrete not wood.)
I lived in a flat in Sydney Australia and the Asians that lived there threw out bags of clothes that looked like they had been worn maybe a couple of times they looked almost new but there was the odd button missing or a small stain. we washed them and gave them to op shops because they were too small. I wondered at the time why they'd throw out perfectly good clothes now I know why.
To be fair, USa residential building standards are backward and retarded compared to say Europe or even some South East asian second world countries. Only farm animals would be housed in wood shelters in civilized countries but in USa houses are built with stapplers and match like assemblage of stick wood. This is a joke in term of durability, in term of sound proofness, in term of vibration attenuation of upper floors. Just unacceptable for most countries. United statians seem unaware of some of their backwardness. Another is the railroad where Us railroad is like European railroad ten years after end of WW2.
And no i am not Chinese and i agree with the rest of your comment on Chinese.
Most of the animals in China have moved to the city to work in the factories.
Totally true. Lived in Xiamen for 4 years and rarely saw any living animal other than roaches and rats. As Xiamen is coastal with lots of parks and mntns, i was often shocked that i never saw birds.
I'm not sure if you are serious or not. My family is from Xiamen, I saw many birds in the park all the time,maybe you are referring to the main island.There are only a few locations on the island which you can see wild life, but on Jimei, I saw tonnes of them living along the streams.
I believe way back then, Xiamen was super polluted. However, when I went back last year, the municipality had been doing some dramatic geomorphing through water management and gardening. There was an outcry about 10 years ago in regards to how manufaturing had decimated local fauna, after that the whole city had been shifting from primary/secondary industry to services because it's more lucrative to do so. There is an upward trend in regards to environmental protection, as more and more people are educated in China, no matter how bad the media protrays China.
I'm not saying AVDChina is all bullshit, it takes truth and fabrication for people to highlight just how bad the situation was.But truth be told, China is changing, albeit a slow one. There is still hope in China, the abhorred issues are slowly getting addressed, afterall it takes time, just like how the West took their time to pass the Clean Water Act.
@@Bipedalduck - In the US, they cut down 99% of the coastal redwoods and killed almost all the buffalo that used to roam the great plains in herds of thousands.
@@pete1853 be careful, you will be accused of whataboutism. Actually I thought the same thing. If we are talking about sparrows, sure China of the past might have had a mandate to kill them but just south of Los Angeles (where the boys are now), in modern times the swallow extermination in San Juan Capistrano is happening in USA. The lovely yearly migration is nearly gone thanks to American habitat encroachment.
@@Bipedalduck yes i am serious. Xiamen is a nice city. Beautiful beaches and ocean views. I lived in Xiada and had a great harbor and mntn view. Was really cool. Could go on day 'hikes' on the little mntn just out from my apt. Again, really cool. But wìldlife? None. No birds, no lizards, although cobras were rumored to be around i never saw any snake. No wild animals at all. At least not there
Xiada university or the whereabout is truly beautiful, it's sad that I hear this. I used to live in the main island as well and the Botanic Garden nearby was few of the places my family used to visit. That garden had been bird sanctuary for decades and I truly wish more wildlife will be back in the future.
From wechat recently with my cousin, I found out that all the sanitization happening during Covid pandemic has been a major reason why all the insects died. When the major food source is gone, birds have been disappearing, which is unfortunate.
"Essence of the soul of the animal"
I remember I took a trip with my family to Hokkaido in Japan and I found the most peculiar canned curry, bear curry. They also had deer curry if I remember correctly, tbh it was delicious and the gaminess was dealt with really well. But i remember asking the uncle why they had bear curry up here and he told me that there was a group that would go collect the bear bodies that were either roadkill or sometimes had to put down due to getting to close to towns and would use the profits to fund those clean up operations. Irrelevant story but it just reminded me of it.
I think Mao at one stage had everyone killing sparrows
Oh shit!! Thats right! You're exactly right.
Yep. And insects ate the crops. Instant famine.
Yes
And it led to more bugs eating crops.
Double down on dumb
During the Great Leap Backwards.
@Papyrus Okagbue There's another one who looks like Pooh Bear.
no birds = lots of locust and flies etc..
And God said, "Let the waters teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the sky."
Dont worry... The Chinese will take care of these flies im sure : )
@@birdsoup777 And then God said, "Imma just dip out of this place for the rest of time."
Oh he also said, "I totally exist and I'm a real god that exists."
Real legit fellow
Locust are on the way to China from Pakistan. They might be fucked or it might be a feast for them after seeing this video. Lol
Wow! Poor animals. Thanks for showing this. Hollywood and the NBA need to see this.
I noticed this too. We couldn't agree if it was because of the pollution, or if they had all been eaten.
My brother lived in China and said there were no ground animals, no squirrels.
Did he check the woks?
Squirrels are a North American critter.
Did he visit Hangzhou west lake ? Because there are hundreds of squirrels there lol
@@benf3171 Squirrels are worldwide. 2.5 million grey squirrels in England alone, not to mention red squirrels. Most areas have indigineous squirrels such as the Russian flying squirrel or the Cape Town ground squirrel. My brother never saw a squirrel or other ground animal in his five years in China, even in rural parks.
@@wildandwonderful7069 Oh! Schooled me. Lol. Thanks for the correction. Never trust that Internet, I suppose.
Herpetologist: "Excuse me sir, snakes are not poisonous. They are venomous."
No step on snek!
What about the Keelback snake, that is both poisonous and venomous.
@@rivalryblu9303 All the other sneks refer to it as the Keelback Tryhard.
Isn't venom poison?
@@rstash1 both term refer to them being TOXINS but released/acquired in different manner.
Poisonous are toxins released when animal/plants are ingested.
Venomous are toxins injected when animal bites or stings.
@@rstash1 venom is poison and poison is venom because they are both toxins.
So a flock of birds are flying, they see China up ahead....."Nope, that's the No Fly zone!"
lol
I lived and worked in China in the mid 1970s. I noticed there were no birds anywhere I went. I asked my interpreter about it. He said that in the late 1960s the CCP decided that the birds were eating too much of the crops because the crop yields were way down from the past, so they ran a program similar to the great leap forward and killed all the birds. The following few years there were a lot of crop failures and millions of people starved to death. They discovered that although the birds did eat some of the crops the birds ate billions of tons of the insects that ate the crops and their dropping helped fertilise the fields. The original reason the crop yields were way down was because the CCP had run a number of programs where they moved city people to the countryside and the tradional farmers to cities. The CCP could not leave things alone and stuffed up everything they touched. Exactly the same things happened in the Soviet Union and every othe communist country. I got to know a New Zealander that had lived in China since the early 1920s by the name of Rewi Alley and he confirmed most of what the interpreter had told me and much more, and filled in many gaps.
They eat all the birds, that is why they get famine from all the locusts.
Same with "Great Sparrow campaign 1957
"
Killed all the sparrow, then come locusts and have to import sparrow from Russia, what a "great" leader Mao really was, killing all educated people and pushed back China to EXTREME POVERTY until his DEATH in 1987. Then claim CCP helped Billions out of EXTREME POVERTY when CCP is the one that pushed them into it in the first place.
That sounds like natural selection to me.
Chinese guys sitting around: What is the weirdest shit we can do? I know, lets just eat everything, especially if it gross... Yeah, and we can add gutter oil.
Yeah, because Shrimp and Lobster are not gross. Care to have some froglegs or snails with that?
Why don't you read up on what happened to "passenger pigeons".... and who ate them to extinction !
Ok Chinese bot
??? You realize this is cultural and has been ingrained in them right? It's not like Chinese people are constantly on the prowl for their next exotic dish.
@@LifeWithParole When Chinese people are eating every animal in sight except for lizards, then yes, they are on the prowl for their next exotic dish, although to them its not exotic because its the norm to them.
papagenghis1206 a ‘culture’ imposed on the Chinese people by Mao and the CCP.
Send them Florida’s iguanas. They would pay a premium for them.
Send them to Florida to hunt the Pythons. They’ll finally do some good.
This. Get rid of our invasive species
And Oregon's nutrias
Then we are gonna have a Chinese invasive species eating every living thing in Florida
No not my Scally friends! Leave them alone. T~T
It's not only in China but most of Southwest Asia. I went to Laos to visit my parents' country of origin and noticed right away: no birds, big insects, or small animals anywhere.
That country really is just mediveal state suddenly kicked into the future.

“Only when the last tree has been cut down, the last fish been caught, and the last stream poisoned, will we realize we cannot eat money.”
It is literally a shortened version of a Native American's response to the depletion of resources that capitalist style economy runs on. "Your people are driven by a terrible sense of deficiency. When the last tree is cut, the last fish is caught, and the last river is polluted; when to breathe the air is sickening, you will realize, too late, that wealth is not in bank accounts and that you can’t eat money." -Alanis Obomsawin of the Abenaki Tribe
They will still try lol
I took my Chinese students in Seattle to the zoo. They said it made them hungry, and proceeded to explain which animals they wanted to eat and why. I've never had that conversation with any other nationality.
That is very revealing. So the argument that it was all the famine that robbed china of its wildlife is a fiction? Maybe, but it shows that it is a cultural thing to to consume. And the West has made them rich enough so that they want the world now !!!
You guys ever stop at the betel nut stands for a wee bit-o buzzzzz? (saw you guys pass a few)
I really enjoy the wildlife in Australia and I could not imagine life without the beautiful natural animal.
what massively multiples and eats everything in its path...
...locusts
They'll eat them too.
so CCP is pestiIence?
weII not wrong tho IoI
_...locusts..._ And Humans. We can't escape our own biology and neither can our planet escape us.
Answer: China
Whaaat!!! This is the strangest video I've ever watched, a place with no birds is so unnatural and sad...
The animal you were trying to identify at 3:45 is a Tanuki, or Raccoon Dog
Was.
Dead dog
bruh
Glad I chose to live in Yunnan. One of the few places left that has wildlife. I've seen plenty of beautiful birds, even monkeys and wild elephants. However, I'm sure it's just a matter of time before they're all wiped out as well.
Herro. I here to eat arr your wirdrife.
Yum yum?
Edit; The famine may be over but the famine mindset remains strong.
and I love the comment Serpentza said once, "You couldn't beat it out of them."
In 50 years from now the grannies will still have the toilet paper shortage mindset!
I was actually really surprised and happy to see flocks of bird coming back around where I live a few years ago. Some even came over and hung out on my balcony. I'm writing this comment at dawn here and the air is full of bird melodies. :D
I took a picture of some ducks in a pond near my home and posted it online, and a Chinese friend asked, "How many did you catch?"
He was shocked when I said, "None of course."
They will consume the earth; oh wait they already are!
This makes me Sad with a capital S. I could never live there knowing that.
We India's Respect Animals , They want our love . Please Spread love
Why do everywhere we Indians are just boasting about our culture?
what abt this convicted actor, Khan from Bollywood his name is, who travels around India to shoot rare wildlife, convicted but never seen a prison cell in all of his life,
@@lunafringe10 'cause he has links with mafia and mafia has links with police, so, the police don't provide evidences against him in court hence, the court is unable to pass any judgement.

I love your channel so far, but Im not gonna lie, you guys consistently reinforce an aversion in me for traveling to china😂💀
I lived there. Skip it. These boys are spot on.
Here is an interesting story:
The "Four Pests" campaign was introduced in 1958 by Mao Zedong, as a hygiene campaign aimed to eradicate the pests responsible for the transmission of pestilence and disease: the mosquitos responsible for malaria; the rodents that spread the plague; the pervasive airborne flies; and the sparrows - specifically the Eurasian tree sparrow - which ate grain seed and fruit.
Some sparrows found refuge in the extraterritorial premises of various diplomatic missions in China. The personnel of the Polish embassy in Beijing denied the Chinese request of entering the premises of the embassy to scare away the sparrows who were hiding there and as a result the embassy was surrounded by people with drums. After two days of constant drumming, the Poles had to use shovels to clear the embassy of dead sparrows.
My friend and I noticed the lack of wildlife in Chongqing. We'd only ever see the occasional tiny bird, and we'd always joke that they were advanced bio-cameras🤣🤣
One time Mao went out to the field to how the farmers are doing. He saw a sparrow pecking on crops, and he said to the officials while pointing his finger to the sparrow: it's a harmful bird. After he said that, all the people in China put effort to capture all the birds which relied on eating grains off the field. Because almost all the birds in the wild went vanished, the ecosystem collapsed. As a consequence, thousands of people in China went starvation and died.
I can't imagine why plauges keep coming out of China 🤔
