Thanks for your avoidance of the western fake news anti China propaganda, you are normal human being, I have been sick of those people brainwashed by anti china propaganda in the west
Just because purposeful politicians and media tell you not to like this country, you just follow their ideas. In my opinion, this is not a basic democratic literacy. I have always told myself that if I want to know a country, I must go to see it, so I decided to buy a plane ticket to China in the next spring. It happens that China has implemented a visa-free policy for my country, and I am very happy.
@Water02, Lying in bed, you have never personally explored other countries, but here you are laughing at others who have experienced it first-hand. You have completely absorbed the shit out of the Western media, look at the hypocrisy of those media in the Palestinian-Israeli war. -300 social credit
We visited 6 cities in China in October 2023. I was amazed at how much China has progressed and developed since our previous visit in 2011. We are already planning our next visit for 2024. Thank you for sharing. Cheers from Australia.
Most people learn China from western media and most of them are biased against China. Glad that you visit China and see China for yourself. By the way, the architecture at Wai-Tan was influenced by the West because China was invaded by foreign allied forces in the late 19th century and some of them had concessions in Shanghai (GB, France, USA and Japan). Enjoy your holiday in Shanghai. ~ From Malaysia.
In fact, those building are painful scars and remind every generations of Chinese the country was occupied by foreign countries due to weakness, so it stimulate every generations to archive a goal - make China strong again, so it can defend itself
Friendly remind you that Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan are NOT countries! These regions are special regions maintaining their status before handover (although Taiwan is not united yet), i.e. mainland Chinese or people from these regions going to mainland require "special pass"...
These are “Countries/ places to go” for the 144 visa. It’s better to explain it like that for western people watching. I am not going to get political here :)

The Maglev travelled at 431km/h fore very journey when I was there in Shanghai more than 10 years ago. Now it has been reduced to about 300km/h so that it reduces wear and tear and to be more energy efficient. I think only 2 time slots it travels at 431km/h. The Fuxing series bullet train travels faster than that at 350km/h, which is max speed for now in the world. I recommend destinations such as provinces Yunnan and Xinjiang for most diverse and beautiful landscapes, most diverse ethnicities and ancient architectures.
no, still can go 400km above this year, why, i just took the maglev from airport to shanghai city last month. i think the diver will adjust the speed by the number of passengers, if only few, there is no need to drive so fast, at least for energy -saving purpose

when you crossed the river to the "other side" that was actually the older part of Shanghai called the Bund. Those western architectures were built when parts of Shanghai were small colonies called "concessions". The Chinese people are acutely aware of the history and what happened to the country when it was weak. It has come a long way. That's what made the western media uncomfortable.
Thanks. I wanted to post this as well. The old Shanghai Concession had been preserved and restored very well. The architecture reminded me of early 20th century New York. The Bund is easily one of the most expensive commercial spaces in China today.
What makes Western media uncomfortable is that China supports Russia and North Korea, helping them getting aroung international sactions for their crimes.
the coolest part about powerbank renting is that you can rent it in one place and return it in another place. you can find the renting maching of powerbank in so many places and this makes life so much easier.
The reason why it only hits 301km/hr is because the trip is not long enough and the train needs to start ramping down 3/4 the way in order for it to slow down and stop. When the route is extended it will hit top speed, but then these trains will be replaced with even faster trains then.
Shanghai was once colonized by Europeans and that is why is especially in certain areas around the bund you will see older french or british style buildings. They have kept the look with new buildings for the history and aesthetics of Shanghai. I'm really glad you got to go see China for yourself. You really need to go explore more cities like Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Chongqing and many more. These cities will truly blow your mind. Thanks for sharing this incredible experience!
Chengdu is the most popular city among young people, because of its fashionable ideas, and even has a non-mainstream trend of thinking about the third gender
Great video Jack!!!! I have always wanted to vise it China!!!! What are the hotels like there and the food looked good. The train was awesome that was so fast. How was the people there to talk too. 2 thumbs up my friend!!!!
I’m Vietnamese, so don’t tell me!! What French & US wars crimes did to Vietnam is INHUMAN. They did build fews infrastructure here just for them to used not for locals or help others people!! 100Y ago they’re not seeing Vietnamese or Asian is human, same equal humans as them. Remember that. If Western style house was build here it for Western officers & employees workers used. Not for locals!! And compare to their wars crimes of what they did, build fews builds, roads, bridges means nothing. And it use to build by locals blood & lives. It really annoys me when some WESTERN KEEP TRYING TO RECALL THE CITY IS BEAUTIFUL BECAUSE THEIR COLONIAL BUILD IT!! Stop spreading liars. While the truth is not like that, they not build anything!! They’re build fews builds & center district downtown roads, outside place where they’re lived is all muddy & muddy!! These cities is become beautiful & MARVELOUS LIKE THIS IT ALL DONE BY CHINESE GORVEMENT & CHINESE PEOPLE BUILD BY THEMSELVES IN THEIR INDEPENDENT TIMES TILL NOW!! Not Western & not colonial build it.
@@HauTran-sunfromsouth I am happy that China has been able to raise a lot of people out of poverty, and greatly improved their infrastructures. They are also mass polluters and support warmonger countries like North Korea and Russia, both of which China supports economically despite sanctions. I am happy that quality of life has improved for Chinese people, but I cannot get over the fact that China has a bad reputation in international affairs, and being a westerner myself, I will care about my quality of life in the EU, not that of the Chinese people. Please stop supporting Russia's threat to the EU.
Hey Jack, China is a very large country with many many big cities, but there is one you must must have to go to is Chongqing, because Chongqing is the LARGEST CITY in China, bigger population than Shanghai, if you want to see the real China, you need to go to Chongqing.
Dude, you are super awesome , soo honest and clear about that 144 hour thing. Thanks for all the great info about getting through those things. Have a blessed one in China .
Some Asian countries used English for sign posts with their native language. How come we don't see America or English speaking countries using Chinese words in their sign post too? So who are the bad guys actually?
Shanghai was literally colonized, divided into different parts that were controlled by other countries and that's why a lot of the old architecture looks like that
It wasn’t literally colonized. The Chinese granted concessions to various other countries in Shanghai, Qingdao and Dalian (as as well as smaller coastal places) They did this to avoid being invaded by these countries and losing further territories, like Hong Kong etc
@@ensteffo have u been to China? I'm living in China now. So who has the proper info, you or me?! Mr ignoramus, stop twisting and playing with mental gymnastics lol
About your remark around 18:10, the feeling of being in London and the European architectural style in that district. Because it was built by Europeans. It used to be foreign concessions 100 years ago. The HuanHai Zhong Road used to be called rue Joffre. We preserved them well.
I found when I travelled I didn't want the hot sun out...as long as it wasn't raining but overcast. Lots of walking in the hot sun drains you especially if you ar out all day
The reason certain part of Shaghai has European architectural design on the building was because the north-eastern and western part was under the French concession from 1914 onwards.
Regarding your comment on “western” architecture, it was colonized by multiple western countries and each built buildings per their home style, that is why! The 100 years of shame when Chinese and dogs ARE NOT allowed into parks for the white people
Oh wow!!! China! Interesting place! Been there few times! People are nice and often helpful! Did get a few teenage scam attempts, but not much different to ANY other country! Community seemed to honestly try and look after tourists!
How sad that the host feels he needs to ask people not to unsubscribe because he's visiting a country that some people hate. Social media has only made us even more tribal when the world would be much better if we made more effort to foster friendship and love.
One note, you mentions Shanghai has some European buildings being strange that’s because Shanghai was occupied by 8 different western countries when China was invaded. There are many Western areas notably, the French Quarter, the English area being Pudong all carefully lovely preserved.
Im posting this before I watch the video Like China or not , at least you went to check it out for yourself And didn't rely on MSM to tell you about a Country
Exactly - I posted something similar just then. Thumbs up to people who are curious and give China a go instead of blindly believing what their media tells them (which are such biased reports)
18:10 Yes, the buildings are in different styles of architecture there because Shanghai was occupied by different colonial forces (like UK, US, Russia, Japan, and France) from the end of the 19th century till after Japan surrendered in World War II. So the historical buildings in Shanghai was either built by each different occupying forces or influenced by them. I am not sure if you've been to the Bund (where you were at 18:10) during the night. If not, I highly suggest you go again in the evening if you ever visit Shanghai again. To be honest, most modern cities in China look a lot more beautiful at night thanks to the LEDs.
Hey mate thanks for the tip on the Nomad, also could you do a segment how you booked your train. Saw a few bloggers saying you need to book it in advance. Thinking of visiting China but like most people a bit apprehensive about security and the negative reports from the media. But having seen an aussie having a good time sets my mind at ease.
The buildings on The Bund side is used to be a British Concession area, so they were built by British and som French. Also the building in the French conceccion area as well.
I am curious of how the China you saw with your own eyes is different from the China that the mainstream media in your country portrayed? So you were from Australia?
I want to travel to Shanghai but my friends never want to go preferring smaller cities and rural areas. I can't argue because I do the same in the U.S. New York is not where I want to visit. My videos are quite different. Interesting.
Wow the infrastructure looks amazing, the streets are so clean and the people look like they bathe everyday. Not like India the rubbish dump where I'm from 😢
I am Indian and I am agree with you. 40 years me china hamse bahut aage nikal gaya, hame apni economy capitalised karni thi aur infrastructure, education par dhyan Dena tha par aisa nahi kiya hamse aur isliye Aaj ham Bahut piche hai.😢
may i just add that it is not that Shanghai doesn't have a "unified" architectural style, it was because at the bund, where you saw the very European styled buildings, they were actually built by the Europeans during the time the Europeans forced the "concession districts" onto China during the Qing dynasty. And it was after the liberation, the government has decided to keep the buildings for historical reasons
What You saw is the people hire some photographers taking pictures at pupolar spot of Shanghai. Shanghai always the most popular destinations for domestic tourists. They could feel like in European.. Shanghai has a lot European building because in the history Shanghai was very morden openmind city. Among the bund area were the Bank Street back 1930. Many Shanghai people back then speak influences English work for west company. Like my Gradefather was worked for Citi bank when he was young. And their life style is very west like. Wear suits drink coffee. Go to club. Breakfast with bread and butter. Resutrant offer ox tail soup. Salad. And various dessert. That time Shanghai have their own soda brand established. After October Russia revolution. A lot Ruissa old royalty came to Shanghai. Also A lot Jewish living in 虹口area They live in Shanghai until WII finished. Also Germen area. French area. Japanese area. Back then This city be shared like pieces of pacake by different countries. The China self also be treated like that. It's a shame dark time of China. But bring different culture.
China has been making big strides to improve air pollution in cities and at the same time make the switch to renewables. The first time I visited China over 10 years ago, pollution was a issue in many major cities. These days there are very few days where the pollution is as bad as it use to be in large cities like Beijing. They've built and put in place in a massive amount of infrastructure for electric vehicles to make it easier for people to switch from fossil fuel vehicles to electric. I really like visiting China, and will probably move there with my wife before we retire, she's been living in the UK for awhile now and so it's only fair I live in her home country next.
Here in California, crimes are so rampant. We need more stricter crime laws. One thing I don't understand is why so many Chinese citizens are illegally coming to the US. Do they not understand the crime rates and the amound of hates going on? Their lives could be harder here, especially doing it illegally. I'm an asian american and the way things are happening around me and my family, I just don't think it's a good idea right now.
They are not illegal immigrants but fake asylum seekers who are corrupt criminals themselves running away with their ill gotten wealth since Xi Jinping's crackdown on corruptions in China. They would pay handsome amount of money to asylum attorney agencies under the pretext of being Falun Gong practitioners running away from persecution and fear of (made-up story like) organs harvesting.
By the way , i just checked now , it’s not true chinese government take all your money if you fighting with someone . But have general penalty for fighting between 6000 to 15000 CNY . But if this fighting cause death to someone it will be more penalties .
Welcome to Shanghai, this is my hometown. It is one of the best cities in the world, very safe to travel everywhere and have multicuture merits. Night life is also wonderful.

以我去过国外的经验而言，中国跟其他西方发达国家没有什么区别。跟新加坡更是相近。除了中国没有流浪汉，瘾君子，街角持枪的抢劫者。其他的几乎与西方没有区别。机场，地铁，火车，出租车，公交车，所有的公共交通工具，都是一样的。关于饮食，新加坡的饮食因为大量的华人，所以与中国的区别也很小。关于语言，如果你会中文，那这里几乎就是一个更大的新加坡。如果你只会英文，那么也不用担心，四十岁以下的中国人，都或多或少的懂一些英文，所有室外的路牌，指示牌也是中英两种文字。关于政府限制，除非你像BBC一样，执意去触碰和弯曲某些事实，你也不会受到任何限制。言语自由上，只要你不在重要的大型的政府性质的公共场合，言论也是不受限的。只不过你需要准备一个支付宝或者微信，中国已经基本上消灭了纸币，这对于外国人来说非常不方便。另外，祝你有个愉快的旅程。任何关于中国行程的问题都可以咨询我或者评论区的其他中国人。

when you crossed the river to the "other side" that was actually the older part of Shanghai called the Bund. Those western architectures were built when parts of Shanghai were small colonies called "concessions". The Chinese people are acutely aware of the history and what happened to the country when it was weak. It has come a long way. That's what made the western media uncomfortable.
Thanks. I wanted to post this as well. The old Shanghai Concession had been preserved and restored very well. The architecture reminded me of early 20th century New York. The Bund is easily one of the most expensive commercial spaces in China today.
Thank you for your explanation 👍
What makes Western media uncomfortable is that China supports Russia and North Korea, helping them getting aroung international sactions for their crimes.
Fun and informative ! Can’t wait to go visit China , we will check that 144 hours transit visa , thx!

Welcome to China!
china is most welcoming country and where you can not find racism
oh dear :(
As a Chinese, no… China is not. It’s friendly, but defintelyyyy not the most welcoming.
😂😂😂😂😂
Maybe you don't know about what 'welcoming' means
they literally put Muslims in concentration camps.. ok..
See so many Shanghai vlog on TH-cam,You're the best shot!
the coolest part about powerbank renting is that you can rent it in one place and return it in another place. you can find the renting maching of powerbank in so many places and this makes life so much easier.
You did the right thing , You went see china by your self . Not according to Western media speaking . Good luck for you and enjoy your trip .
Hi Jack, I'm Dennis Daniels from Cleveland, Ohio! Thanks for sharing your video about your trip to Shanghai, China 🇨🇳!
My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it mate!!
The reason why it only hits 301km/hr is because the trip is not long enough and the train needs to start ramping down 3/4 the way in order for it to slow down and stop. When the route is extended it will hit top speed, but then these trains will be replaced with even faster trains then.
Welcome to China. You have such positive attitude exploring Shanghai
Shanghai was once colonized by Europeans and that is why is especially in certain areas around the bund you will see older french or british style buildings. They have kept the look with new buildings for the history and aesthetics of Shanghai.
I'm really glad you got to go see China for yourself. You really need to go explore more cities like Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Chongqing and many more. These cities will truly blow your mind. Thanks for sharing this incredible experience!
Chengdu is the most popular city among young people, because of its fashionable ideas, and even has a non-mainstream trend of thinking about the third gender
Great video Jack!!!! I have always wanted to vise it China!!!! What are the hotels like there and the food looked good. The train was awesome that was so fast. How was the people there to talk too. 2 thumbs up my friend!!!!
Welcome to Shanghai! A very informative video to those who are yet to visit China.
Enjoy your stay 😀
Thank you! 😃
The Art Deco buildings in Shanghai are buildings when Shanghai was under foreign rule; there were British, French and American concession areas.
I’m Vietnamese, so don’t tell me!!
What French & US wars crimes did to Vietnam is INHUMAN.
They did build fews infrastructure here just for them to used not for locals or help others people!!
100Y ago they’re not seeing Vietnamese or Asian is human, same equal humans as them. Remember that.
If Western style house was build here it for Western officers & employees workers used. Not for locals!!
And compare to their wars crimes of what they did, build fews builds, roads, bridges means nothing.
And it use to build by locals blood & lives.
It really annoys me when some WESTERN KEEP TRYING TO RECALL THE CITY IS BEAUTIFUL BECAUSE THEIR COLONIAL BUILD IT!! Stop spreading liars.
While the truth is not like that, they not build anything!!
They’re build fews builds & center district downtown roads, outside place where they’re lived is all muddy & muddy!!
These cities is become beautiful & MARVELOUS LIKE THIS IT ALL DONE BY CHINESE GORVEMENT & CHINESE PEOPLE BUILD BY THEMSELVES IN THEIR INDEPENDENT TIMES TILL NOW!!
Not Western & not colonial build it.
@@HauTran-sunfromsouth I am happy that China has been able to raise a lot of people out of poverty, and greatly improved their infrastructures. They are also mass polluters and support warmonger countries like North Korea and Russia, both of which China supports economically despite sanctions. I am happy that quality of life has improved for Chinese people, but I cannot get over the fact that China has a bad reputation in international affairs, and being a westerner myself, I will care about my quality of life in the EU, not that of the Chinese people. Please stop supporting Russia's threat to the EU.
Thanks for your lovely video!
谢谢你的诚实和勇气，告诉世界真相
Hey Jack, China is a very large country with many many big cities, but there is one you must must have to go to is Chongqing, because Chongqing is the LARGEST CITY in China, bigger population than Shanghai, if you want to see the real China, you need to go to Chongqing.
Dude, you are super awesome , soo honest and clear about that 144 hour thing. Thanks for all the great info about getting through those things. Have a blessed one in China .
I appreciate that! Glad to help :)
Hey Jack,l loved Shanghai very clean and loved the bullet train.Look forward to rest of the china series.Stay safe, have fun.🙏💕
It is very unsafe here in US. We have burglary in shopping centers in broad daylight. Each shopping plaza has a police car stationed.
Did the police car also get robbed?
@@edkipp that, no. The police are all armed with a pistol and a Taser.
@@homeplay4476 But the robbers are armed with much better weapons like AR-15, Glock 10 mm, and 44 magnum etc...
Some Asian countries used English for sign posts with their native language.
How come we don't see America or English speaking countries using Chinese words in their sign post too? So who are the bad guys actually?
The city is so clean and quiet. Notice no one needs to lock their ebikes.
Shanghai was literally colonized, divided into different parts that were controlled by other countries and that's why a lot of the old architecture looks like that
It wasn’t literally colonized. The Chinese granted concessions to various other countries in Shanghai, Qingdao and Dalian (as as well as smaller coastal places) They did this to avoid being invaded by these countries and losing further territories, like Hong Kong etc
Really like the detailed info about eSIM, Alipay, 144 hour visa. Super informative!! Please keep up your great work!
Thank you! Will do!
recommend you to try some Xiaolongbao and Luckin coffee in Shanghai, guess you will like it.
Awesome video, Jack!👍😎👏
More China videos, please!
More to come!
Thankyou :)
it looks very nice and clean every where you go in china
It really is!
It’s beautiful when you embrace differences.
Every province in China is an adventure and offer something new. If you have time travel to Chengdu, Nanjin, Hangzhou,…
I'm actually okay with people being ignorant of China. This keeps all eyes off of them. China can continue to rise under the radar.
It's not being ignorant. Most people in the west are very well informed about China, with lies and accusations
It is not under the radar anymore. You think US is targeting China for reason?
@@peanut0brain Yes, but all the "information" you know about something being factually wrong is ignorance.
@@ensteffo have u been to China? I'm living in China now. So who has the proper info, you or me?! Mr ignoramus, stop twisting and playing with mental gymnastics lol
What a wonderful video! Hope you clould make more videos about China!
Very nice.very infomative
Thanks for liking!
Excellent video! Looking forward to seeing the next!
Thank you very much!
Welcome to China 🇨🇳 thank you for your video 👍👍👍
Thank you too for watching:))
I love Shanghai!!! 10 years back, I used to live there for 3 years, which was the best time of my life! China is best!
Nice video, thanks for sharing it.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for your video, love from China❤
Thanks for watching mate!! 🇨🇳
Thank you for visiting China and showing people the real China🙏
About your remark around 18:10, the feeling of being in London and the European architectural style in that district. Because it was built by Europeans. It used to be foreign concessions 100 years ago. The HuanHai Zhong Road used to be called rue Joffre. We preserved them well.
GREAT informative video 👍
Glad it was helpful!
Earning the dollar, and spending in RMB, what a blessing !
I found when I travelled I didn't want the hot sun out...as long as it wasn't raining but overcast. Lots of walking in the hot sun drains you especially if you ar out all day
Welcome to China ❤
You should try to visit Hangzhou. Real green city.
中國人對待遠方來客是熱情好客的！希望旅途開心！
I very grateful for this video showing the true side of China.
welcome to China,ty for an unbias video, I appreciated it , I'll see you in the next one
Thanks mate!!
Most cities in China are pretty green. The concept is every road needs to be lined by trees.
After renting the power bank, you can return them to any other renting machine from the same company no matter wherever you go.
The reason certain part of Shaghai has European architectural design on the building was because the north-eastern and western part was under the French concession from 1914 onwards.
Regarding your comment on “western” architecture, it was colonized by multiple western countries and each built buildings per their home style, that is why! The 100 years of shame when Chinese and dogs ARE NOT allowed into parks for the white people
Your vids are nicely made, very entertaining and informative! Great job!
Thank you very much!
Oh wow!!! China!
Interesting place! Been there few times!
People are nice and often helpful! Did get a few teenage scam attempts, but not much different to ANY other country!
Community seemed to honestly try and look after tourists!
I have been to Changsha and Zhangjiajie in Hunan. What I like more is the food in Changsha or the natural landscape in Zhangjiajie.
How sad that the host feels he needs to ask people not to unsubscribe because he's visiting a country that some people hate. Social media has only made us even more tribal when the world would be much better if we made more effort to foster friendship and love.
One note, you mentions Shanghai has some European buildings being strange that’s because Shanghai was occupied by 8 different western countries when China was invaded. There are many Western areas notably, the French Quarter, the English area being Pudong all carefully lovely preserved.
Im posting this before I watch the video
Like China or not , at least you went to check it out for yourself
And didn't rely on MSM to tell you about a Country
Exactly - I posted something similar just then. Thumbs up to people who are curious and give China a go instead of blindly believing what their media tells them (which are such biased reports)
18:10 Yes, the buildings are in different styles of architecture there because Shanghai was occupied by different colonial forces (like UK, US, Russia, Japan, and France) from the end of the 19th century till after Japan surrendered in World War II. So the historical buildings in Shanghai was either built by each different occupying forces or influenced by them. I am not sure if you've been to the Bund (where you were at 18:10) during the night. If not, I highly suggest you go again in the evening if you ever visit Shanghai again. To be honest, most modern cities in China look a lot more beautiful at night thanks to the LEDs.
You should visit Xi'an, a central chinese city with great ancient historical significance, cultural and food diversity
Hey mate thanks for the tip on the Nomad, also could you do a segment how you booked your train. Saw a few bloggers saying you need to book it in advance. Thinking of visiting China but like most people a bit apprehensive about security and the negative reports from the media. But having seen an aussie having a good time sets my mind at ease.
Orang china tidak peduli dengan politik,mereka hanya ingin makmur,damai dan lebih tertarik soal budaya
Whether it's Sydney or Melbourne, Jack!
the word propaganda is best suited to western media.
I'm glad you mentioned that it's the highest observation deck in the world, no one ever seems to bring that up 😂
Thx Jack for your vedio about the real China 🇨🇳
My pleasure:) thankyou for watching.
The buildings on The Bund side is used to be a British Concession area, so they were built by British and som French. Also the building in the French conceccion area as well.
Please watch my newest video in China ❤️🇨🇳 : th-cam.com/video/MpYS3PpOZi4/w-d-xo.html
Now you just need to get to Taiwan!
being there is everything.
I am curious of how the China you saw with your own eyes is different from the China that the mainstream media in your country portrayed? So you were from Australia?
I want to travel to Shanghai but my friends never want to go preferring smaller cities and rural areas. I can't argue because I do the same in the U.S. New York is not where I want to visit. My videos are quite different. Interesting.
Wow the infrastructure looks amazing, the streets are so clean and the people look like they bathe everyday. Not like India the rubbish dump where I'm from 😢
印度加油
I am Indian and I am agree with you. 40 years me china hamse bahut aage nikal gaya, hame apni economy capitalised karni thi aur infrastructure, education par dhyan Dena tha par aisa nahi kiya hamse aur isliye Aaj ham Bahut piche hai.😢
The Shanghai Maglev Train was completed on April 27, 2006.
I think I have mixed up taiwan and hongkong are not country. that's why they have 20 mins to decided let you go or not. you lucky boy.
may i just add that it is not that Shanghai doesn't have a "unified" architectural style, it was because at the bund, where you saw the very European styled buildings, they were actually built by the Europeans during the time the Europeans forced the "concession districts" onto China during the Qing dynasty. And it was after the liberation, the government has decided to keep the buildings for historical reasons
What You saw is the people hire some photographers taking pictures at pupolar spot of Shanghai. Shanghai always the most popular destinations for domestic tourists. They could feel like in European..
Shanghai has a lot European building because in the history Shanghai was very morden openmind city. Among the bund area were the Bank Street back 1930. Many Shanghai people back then speak influences English work for west company. Like my Gradefather was worked for Citi bank when he was young. And their life style is very west like. Wear suits drink coffee. Go to club. Breakfast with bread and butter. Resutrant offer ox tail soup. Salad. And various dessert. That time Shanghai have their own soda brand established.
After October Russia revolution. A lot Ruissa old royalty came to Shanghai. Also A lot Jewish living in 虹口area They live in Shanghai until WII finished. Also Germen area. French area. Japanese area. Back then This city be shared like pieces of pacake by different countries. The China self also be treated like that. It's a shame dark time of China. But bring different culture.
China has been making big strides to improve air pollution in cities and at the same time make the switch to renewables. The first time I visited China over 10 years ago, pollution was a issue in many major cities. These days there are very few days where the pollution is as bad as it use to be in large cities like Beijing. They've built and put in place in a massive amount of infrastructure for electric vehicles to make it easier for people to switch from fossil fuel vehicles to electric. I really like visiting China, and will probably move there with my wife before we retire, she's been living in the UK for awhile now and so it's only fair I live in her home country next.

嘿，感谢你们观看我的视频。希望你们喜欢，也非常感谢在这篇帖子上留下的评论。我最近开了一个中文频道，如果你们感兴趣，随时可以和家人朋友一起观看。谢谢。你可以在这个链接上找到我的频道：[youtube.com/@JackTorrChinese?si=s0Xn9Ng_VINuKt6x](youtube.com/@JackTorrChinese?si=s0Xn9Ng_VINuKt6x)
Here in California, crimes are so rampant. We need more stricter crime laws. One thing I don't understand is why so many Chinese citizens are illegally coming to the US. Do they not understand the crime rates and the amound of hates going on? Their lives could be harder here, especially doing it illegally. I'm an asian american and the way things are happening around me and my family, I just don't think it's a good idea right now.
They are not illegal immigrants but fake asylum seekers who are corrupt criminals themselves running away with their ill gotten wealth since Xi Jinping's crackdown on corruptions in China. They would pay handsome amount of money to asylum attorney agencies under the pretext of being Falun Gong practitioners running away from persecution and fear of (made-up story like) organs harvesting.
美国是它们的精神灯塔国，在追求民主自由的道路上没有错，做为大陆人我支持它们，毕竟我们有14亿人，不缺这些人离开中国，希望越多越好，并且永远不要回来，毕竟能呼吸到美国的香甜空气是它们的毕生追求，请给于它们鼓励，不要摸黑美国，谢谢！😊
很正常，中国的人口基数很大，但绝大多数人还是留在本国的。
民主 自由 免费医疗 快乐教育 世界灯塔，都是一直向外传递的消息？今年非法入境美国的中国人并没有多少，只有20000人左右，当然比以前多了。 原因很简单，世界经济下行，以为到了美国就有美好的未来
US propaganda-American dream.
By the way , i just checked now , it’s not true chinese government take all your money if you fighting with someone . But have general penalty for fighting between 6000 to 15000 CNY . But if this fighting cause death to someone it will be more penalties .
There is a saying in China, if you lose during a fight you go to the hospital and if you win you go to the police lock-up. Lol.
CHINA , Congratulations 🎀🌍🍀🫐☘️🍇 VERY STRONG AND BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY 🌳🌲🍁🍂
I'm glad you can come to China! Can look at China correctly!
Welcome to Shanghai, this is my hometown. It is one of the best cities in the world, very safe to travel everywhere and have multicuture merits. Night life is also wonderful.
