Really enjoyed making this in Shanghai with you, I had a great couple of days. Look forward to seeing you again soon...
Any day by glancing over the headlines in the western media anything about China, one can easily laugh at them with disgust and disbelief. Thanks for what you are doing!
Whatever you say, Chinese shill.
I cant walk anywhere in the US because of crimes and hatred!
There are several successful anti china youtubers who used to be pro china when they were living in china, their career has become 10 times more successful since they switched to smearing 🇨🇳. After all, anti china still has a much much bigger market in the English speaking communities.
Organizations such as Falun Gong and anti-China agencies and groups that are supported and sponsored by political parties have allocated biggest budget ever before to conduct their anti-China campaigns around the world. They are everywhere and in all sorts of social media platforms that based and sourced in the US.

Yes, because the CCP is an authoritarian regime with much to apologize for.
I have met a young couple in Thailand recently. They were from US and they were traveling from Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and then to Cambodia and Vietnam and before going back to US.
We have happened to have a friendly casual conversation and I have asked them since they are so near to China, why not go to China just for a few days to see China. I told them China is very interesting. But I was surprised of what they told me.
They said according to all their media reports in US and advice by their government and many people. They were advice and told not to travel to China. Even their parents don't allow them to go to China. They were told China is not a safe country to travel. Very dirty, poor rundown infrastructures, poor transportation system, polluted, homeless people are everywhere waiting to rob tourists are common even in broad daylight. Chances of been detained for no reason by the Communist is very high. Because China is an authoritarian state and all foreign visitors are monitored by thousands of cameras everywhere, every minute where foreign visitors go. Foreign visitors from western countries can be detained for months or even years for no reason.
Then I asked them about many TH-cams videos showing many interesting things about China. Don't they ever watch those video? The answer from them is their media and government said those TH-cams video showing positive about China are all lied and paid by Chinese government to create them.
All these is what they know about China. The couple is like below 25 years of age and already so badly brainwashed by their government and controlled media. This is really sad.
China brainwashes their people as well and advices them not to travel abroad.
US government doesn`t recommend travelling to China not because of weak infrastructure or "poverty" but because "China is an authoritarian state and all foreign visitors are monitored by thousands of cameras everywhere, every minute where foreign visitors go"
I think they are just bloody stupid, gullible and so easily get brainwashed.

Anti-China campaign is systematic and organized. They are purpose is to demonize China as much as possible to discredit China to influence people that China is bad, worse and worst. The more the anti-China out there, the more shows that China is rising and moving forward in the right direction and the more shows that the US and other anti-China countries are declining and moving backward. Organizations such as Falun Gong and anti-China agencies and groups that are supported and sponsored by political parties have allocated biggest budget ever before to conduct their anti-China campaigns around the world. They are everywhere and in all sorts of social media platforms that based and sourced in the US.
It’s good to see you and Lee together. I love the videos that you and Lee make about China’s development in renewal energy, electric vehicles, BRI projects etc because positive news on China is blanked out by western media. So what if people can’t accept reality and call it “propaganda”?🤷🏻♀️
Love to see you guys together 😊😊😊

The way western people think is based on compliance indoctrination as the USA sponsors anti-China narrative.
It is rather confirming rumours than breaking rumours.

Pro china or anti china youtubers don't need to be funded, they have their fans on youtube which is already a financial support to them, Especially the anti china ones who have a lot more fans because youtube is not a mainstream platform in China. But some very successful anti Chinese youtubers are believed to be connected with other anti china organizations such as Falungong which provides them with huge amount of subscriptions, views because Falungong has many members in the west.
Thank you both🙏👍🙏
Try showing support in UK and USA for Palestinian children, and see where that will get you. Some other things I wouldn't do there - go for a jog at night time, leave my bags unattended at a public place, go to some no-go areas in the cities, hold my breath waiting for good high speed rail.

If the Chinese government is doing its best to improve the standard of living the past 30 years, what's there to complain?
A lot of reasons can't have China be number 1. Can't have a communist country doing well.. Because we are capitalist amd a democracy blah blah blah.
And the realization the real folks who believed the propaganda was us westerners.
The biggest irony is most people who believe what MSN tells you about China are the same people who don't believe a single word of what the MSM tells them about anything else
How are they doing their best? I see a lot of room for improvement

@@tongyaozhang2580Are you from China? Of course there are always room for improvement in every country. May I ask your suggestions then.
People like you only complain and complain and complain ... that's all you know 😂@@tongyaozhang2580
Thank you for making these videos about the truth, although this type of video is not favored by Western social media platforms.
As a Chinese, I am proud of my country. When I was young, my family was very poor, and we were still cooking with burning wood. We didn't have a private car, and the house was also very old. But now we have two cars at home, our houses are new and big, and every household in the village has built new houses and has their own cars. I am grateful for all the changes and efforts made by my country.
If you are someone who harbors hostility or misunderstandings towards China, you may criticize me for being brainwashed, but I don't care, no one cares about the nonsense of pessimists.
Perhaps you have heard that 90% of people here recognize and support political parties, and I am also one of them. In real life, we discuss which policies are wrong and criticize every leader. However, social media platforms do not want to take responsibility for incorrect statements, so they will control them. However, we can freely discuss all of this in our daily lives.
Looking back at the more than a decade since I grew up, my living conditions have been getting better and society has become safer. What else do I have to complain about?
When I was young, there were many people here who robbed, used drugs, and even committed crimes using firearms. But what I have witnessed with my own eyes is that robbery and theft are severely punished, drug traffickers are severely punished, and firearms are under control.
More than a decade ago, I dared not go out at night because there would be robberies. My grandfather was also cheated out of money by a drug addict. When I was at school, my mother called and told me that someone in town had killed someone with a rifle, and the neighboring town had a large-scale conflict with another town using homemade bombs.
At that time, I couldn't imagine the beautiful life now. It was all so unreal, but it did happen.
As a Chinese, I am proud of my country, but we are not arrogant. We only want a good life, and we hope to return to the top of the world like we have done for five thousand years. We hope to live in harmony with all countries, and if they appreciate our achievements, we will be very happy.
"kingly way" and "hegemonic" are two completely different routes.kingly way means becoming the best person and getting along harmoniously with others, working hand in hand with them.
hegemonic means stepping on the heads of others, demanding that everyone must submit to him and accept his manipulation.
For five thousand years, China has chosen the former. Even though our civilization and strength were already the world's top in the Tang Dynasty, just like the United States today, we did not interfere with the affairs of other countries. If a country sends us a gift, we will give it back with a higher value gift. We will not interfere with their internal affairs. If they are friendly to us, we are also very willing to help them.
So I hope that Western audiences, after learning the truth, will understand that we are not competing with them for who can do better, but rather hoping that we can learn from each other's strengths and become better together.
@2:30 - criticising only arouse negativities ( distractions and releasing tensions)and not productive ( actually encouraged by the ruling class - America for example). Complaints can get things heard and fixed/done. Complaints are encouraged in China and made easy to do.

It’s just like a big competition. Who is the best country. Every country has problems. The government doesn’t pay you directly but will pay for flights and hotels. I have a good friend who has done many of these promotional trips and always the same people attend.

Good content but the thumbnail is a bad mistake - if you really want to change perspectives, why present the opposite in the thumbnail. Remember, most people will only see the thumbnail and that will reinforce their negative view. Think again ...
I think the Chinese are very courteous in their interactions with foreigners.
If you see it weibo and understand the language the Chinese can and do critcise the government or the local level officials.
Lee looks much better these days.
Best of luck to you, Lee.

Lee, you can criticize government policies and must support with facts or factual observations. Not spreading false information.
Lies. One cannot criticize the CCP, at least for long without consequences.
Frankly Rafa, if CCP had not done anything evil, there won't be so many propanganda about China. Of course not all are true and not all are false. You need to discriminate. I also did my homework about this. So to defend is wrong not to defend you are uncomfortable. Best not to say anything if you do not know. Let everything calm by itself, time will tell.
The airport color scheme is awful.
Do you seriously go to the airport for the design 😂
😂😅🤣 joke?
It’s off the topic maybe, but I don’t think it’s really about China or Chinese government. Many westerners tend to be critical and paranoid about everything. It’s the attitude and philosophy towards life, at least in China most people don’t want to get near negative people who like to complain all the time. The negative people will suck off all of your energy, and they can’t see a tiny bit of positivity in life.
There’re many people criticizing the Chinese government even in China, it’s not about the criticism, and you need to be concrete enough for the matter, not just to spread anti government stuff. Moreover, Chinese people are seeing huge improvements in their life, and remember how many wars China has been through in the last century. China is still a developing country and there’s nothing wrong that Chinese people want to live a peaceful life, and for having this peaceful life Chinese need a stable and capable government.
Is criticising their own Government the only freedom they want more than their own personal freedom, such as open owning guns. Therefore these western citizen rather get killed with the freedom to carry gun. This is a very simplistic view .
Personal freedom is more & very complicated, you had to take culture, religion, government, etc into consideration. WE can start by comparing light for light and you will find out freedom is not as simple as it is.
Many American died daily due to their relaxing gun laws but not others had strict gun laws.
Lets take it up to another level and ask these question, why is US spending billions to slowdown China & the US keep telling & pointing finger at others, warn and bans other when they not follow US instruction, etc..This is interfering with others freedom. The only reason why these westerner keep using such reasons it is because they are shallow or just haters.
It sounds like Westerners are just having lots of fun criticizing their government but they can't do it in China so they're getting angry 😂
Which is funny because anyone with a Brain will realize that you only criticize the government if it's bad
But China is doing better than them so they think that Chinese people are "Oppressed" 😅
Wtf is this logic lol
One problem is China isn’t opaque about many things. I think that leads to a lot of negative sentiment towards them and in many cases it’s rightfully so.
It’s cultural and policy to say something’s and purposefully not say others… whereas in the West, they are hyper expressive and strive for transparency.
I get paid a Super Bowl ticket from the Chinese government to comment.
You are doing propaganda tho, you are showing the good and beautiful places and things about China, but not showing regular city streets where there is fair bit of shoddy looking construction and you do not venture to countryside or so to say ''lower levels'' of Chinese society to see how they live. China is developed in some aspects but this development is much less spread around then in the West where generally the poor people do not live in extreme poverty like in China. Also not all Chinese projects make financial sense and some of them are just for show. Then again I also do not like the trend in the West now where there are also a lot of propaganda channels on youtube that say that all is bad in China and all projects are failures, all EVs are burning down and all construction is tofu dreg... Certainly it is not true, if it was so Three Gorges Dam would have collapsed already and there would be nuclear reactor meltdowns all the time and fast speed trains getting wrecked if all were ''tofu dreg'' projects and all was ''burning'' or ''collapsing''. Balanced view on both sides is sadly what is lacking. China still has many issues, West also has its issues and me being from country which also still has a lot of issues but has developed a lot in last 30 years I understand the want to showcase the good things about the country, what has been built and how the wealthiest part of the country lives now. I see the same with Russia and massive propaganda campaign to popularize Moscow for example, while we know there are a lot of problems elsewhere. Honesty from all sides could go a long way...
I doubt it is a propaganda if people just want to show how their life is in China. However, according to the west, only when you say that you’re living a miserable life in China, then it’s not propaganda. So the logic is that the west doesn’t want to see Chinese people are living a good life, and they are constantly saying that they care about human rights and stuff, which is pure hypocrisy.
Moreover, no one is saying China is perfect, if people are showing real life experience in China is “propaganda”, then most people in China are living in the propaganda. Anyway, it totally depends on how you think, no where is perfect but China is doing fine no matter how people think.
It’s also up to you to think that Chinese are showing off or what, for sharing the development of China. Actually, Chinese are used to the high tech development, at least for me I don’t care how others think about the technology and stuff in China, they’re not living in China and may not even set foot in China for a lifetime. The only thing they can experience is the made in China products that the west is constantly bashing about.
There are three ways to tell if a TH-camr gets paid by the Chinese government aka "Shilltuber"
1. They started their TH-cam channel in Sanya Hainan(This is where the recruitment and meetings take place). If you look their first videos you will see they all started in that city.
2. They only talk about the good things and not the bad things about living in China (they cannot mention negative things as this violates their contract).
3. They don't even speak chinese or very little so they live in their own bubble in a major city (This keeps them disconnected from the politics and ensures they lack awareness of social or political issues).
If you haven't been to China before, I'll just treat it as nonsense.
LOL Show me the proof! Seriously show me the evidence!
@@fzmoifzmoi2575 some TH-camrs already reported on this and confirmed that they received some support from government related agencies. One vlogger quit after he had to praise a place he had not even visited. Others admitted that tveir transportation and accomodation Was paid by these agencies.
If you have already been to China, you certainly know that these videos and most comments as well are so ridicolously staged that it is almost fun to watch. I assume, you don't need a proof for the third point.
@@JooMike-Hi
Bad luck for you!
These ccp sponsored videos adress three different target groups:
1. Western guys who are dissatisfied with their government, don't know much about China and seek for "alternatives" (present China as an efficient , orderly and safe country)
2. People from southern countries from Asia, Afrika and South America, who haven't been abroad and whose countries hd not only posexperiences with the West in their colonial past. (present China as a peaceful nation without any colonial past)
3. 50c wumao junk
Bad luck for you:
TH-cam is open for everybody and also Chinese critical of their government and laowai who are/have been living in China comment on these videos.
The case is clear, the videos and comments content always follow the same narrative, which is dictated by the Communist Party and does not really correspond to reality. China wants to play a role and present itself to the world as something it is not.

“ Chinese can’t criticize the government “ -- that’s century lies . I was in 1973 ,my parents criticized government every day In public area , like in a train , but since 1980s , right now the Chinese social media, we criticize the government every second, and nobody care if you are not going to use your influence to overthrown government.
