I agree. Footage after the schooling is a plus. I do not care if it is Winston watching television while in the house as seeing what is on television in China is interesting in itself.
You know Winston (and cmilk) are good human beings when they give protips about helping the less fortunate, no matter where you might be. Kudos man, can't wait for your northern trip.
That's true of cmilk, but in the the case of Winston I think it might just be because it makes his narcisstic side feel good to give to a random hobo, be it on or off camera. He overtly admitted to being narcisstic, and so am I. Just my opinion, don't get the pitchforks out.
Still seems like a good guy though. He can still be narcisstic but care about care about others. (was replying to NPJ Global). I sure wouldn't mind having a few beers with either of these guys.
He's a healthy narcissist; not a bipolar type with an ego fed by the misfortune of others in a zero sum game. He's a healthy executive type, but not a banker finance type only focused on money who usually are sociopath bipolars to be avoided which is often what breaks a fit for a job or such a company culture all too common in America.
Hi Winston. My Chinese wife, currently living with me in the UK, very much enjoyed the tai chi sequences in this vid. As ever, excellent work on the main subject too. We were discussing the notion that if anyone wanted an accurate idea of what life in a Chinese city is actually like before they went to China they would be hard pressed to find a more accurate, or more interesting portrayal, than yours. Keep up the excellent work!
Saw this comment half way through the video, and figured he must have stretched out the video by a few seconds to ensure it was over 10 minutes. Then I got to 6.5 mins and realised it was over already! 😂😂
In my opinion, this is just like a typical growing trend of a new thing. First, it grows quite well because of its innovation.And then as it grows, problems appear and it comes to the bottleneck stage. The next phase depends on how the problems are solved. If practiable solutions and regulations are put into practice, then it will became stable and a formal part of the transportation means. But if fails to solve issues, it just phases out. By the way, I really think our Chinese need to improve our bevariour when it comes to using shared stuff and places.
All a matter of education/training and creating the basic conditions for it to fall on fertile soil. E.g. the more scams are considered a common thing in society, the less you can expect people to not be selfish. In case of those share bikes, if people are under the impression that the company providing them is just trying to rip someone off, they would naturally not treat those products with respect.
They have started using these now in London in the past 3-6mths and the same problem is beginning to occur here as well. Piles of bikes just dropped on a random street corner blocking the pavement and making the area look messy.
I don't think there was much thought put into implementing these bicycles... like no impact studies or regulations. I imagine the politicians get some kickbacks to implement those bikes quickly once the idea was introduced.
From a programming perspective it would be quite simple, if you already have the gps co-ordinates, then you just check if the end location is within a designated area. The hard part is defining what is a "designated area". If it's set by the government then maybe they will provide a list designated areas (like the painted white lines), or maybe they'll provide a list of banned areas, which would probably be simpler logistically and programmatically.
The extra footage in the end was really interesting! ^_^ By watching your videos I learn new things about China every time. Your videos are really good! :)
You dont get the idea of how these mobike company make money. They dont rely on that 1 rmb per hour. Instead every user have to pay 100-200rmb deposit to the company wenn they first time use the app. These deposit can be totally taken back by the user anytime. But as long as user dont take these deposit out, these money is a large amount of working capital for a company. The can use these capital to buy other financial product, for example stock or funds. Thats how they make money.
so these bike companies act as investment firms? how many investment firms succeed in china? i doubt they actually plan to make a fortune trading stocks. as long as the managers can run the business long enough to make a fortune on salaries then sell their shares of the company before the business collapses, they're happy. china is full of investment fraud. thats why there are hedge funds dedicated to ONLY short selling stocks on the HK market. im Chinese
but these bikes are mass produced and it wouldn't take long to pay off cost of bike. also even if thats not the case. its likely it would be the same thing as investing in planting trees that will take 100 years to reach an age they can be harvested at. yes it will take you 100 years before you can harvest the trees. but the total value of that property rises constantly as the trees grow. so you can buy the property and plant the trees. then sell the property for a profit when they are 1 foot tall. or buy it when they are 10feet tall and sell at 15. so for companies like this. you can make it really big really fast then even if you ignore initial investment or sign up fees if its very popular and widely used the value of company itself explodes with its popularity then you can sell. buuut if stuff like this is common where just shit loads of people pile on because of ether lack of copyright laws or lack of enforcement then potential buyers would likely wait. but who knows. i still think it wouldn't take that long to pay for the bike. and even if its some kind of short term scam the bikes will still be there long after the owners up and run with the money so still good for the people. those piles are insanity though.
Just chill. Germany has such bike sharing programs. Same thing without a docking station. The things work out fine, when the city introduces the bicycle parking spots. The problem is not the bikes, but the lack of designated parking places for them. Same as for cars, when there is no parking spot, then everybody parks as they can.
It's a cultural problem. Chinese have a history of taking everything too big without thought to possible consequences. Look up "the great sparrow drive". I always see that as a metaphor for the overriding Chinese national character.
Shared bikes have become a problem in Berlin: www.handelsblatt.com/today/companies/mobility-blues-shared-bikes-take-over-berlin/23582042.html?ticket=ST-284793-uzHcceDXvoKA7vRmqeKB-ap3
I really like these bikes, but here in Singapore everything is a bit more orderly (so much so that they actually _add_ to the aesthetic of the city imo) so I can see why they would be a slight nuisance in countries such as China. Edit: The bikes are actually a Singaporean concept and I think it is very plausible that Singapore might actually be the only place where they would be viable
We have a similar problem in the US... at the grocery store. It always pisses me off how people can't be bothered to walk their shopping cart to the designated area. In fact, it REALLY pissed me off when my car got hit by one of these carts on a windy day.
Your sense of humor is underestimated. It's a perfect fit as you help 'foreigners' understand the culture, geography, cuisine and general mindset of China. It's all very much appreciated.
Hey Winston, love your channel. Any chance you could do some videos on the different aspects of gaming in China? The trends in mobile, console, PC and genuine vs fakes would all be interesting. I've also heard there's still quite a healthy underground arcade scene in China, there was an article last year about shmup super players. I originally found your channel from one of your gaming vids so more stuff would be cool. I work in mobile games and know that the trends are very different in China compared to not only the rest of the world but the rest of Asia. Either way I appreciate all the work you put in with your channel, I've learned a lot.
Hey Winston, I definitely enjoyed the tai chi footage and watched all the way until the end. I'll be moving to Beijing in 3 weeks and your videos have helped a lot. You're really good at what you do, I wish you all the best!
My favorite part of the video was when you saw the homeless man , and even though you were busy , instead of just walking on by and acting like you didnt see him , you considered the fact that it was hot out , and that he probably needed a drink . However small a gesture it was , im sure the elderly man was given a small bit of hope , that there are still some people out there that do care .
Thank again Winston 😘. I learnt so much off you. Not just informed informations from china but all the great soundtrack as well. Really appreciate all your work and looking forward to learn more from you. I wish you and your loving wife Sasha the very best.. sorry I missed spell your miss Sincerely. Dannie Viet
I used to be a keen cyclist in London, but the traffic behaviour here in China is so dangerous I would never consider biking anywhere. I live in Changsha and have never seen the 'congestion' that you showed in the video. I might come across 2 or 3 bikes together but that's it. I don't think it's a big headache for the authorities - yet anyway!
I'm a fairly new sub. Took me about a month but I've watched and LIKED every one of your videos. It's been interesting to see how your channel has evolved over the years with changes you have made with it.. Hope you are able to keep it going with all the changes, access to internet and with TH-cam itself.
I am Linda from China. I would not totally agree with the word "insane" although it is true that in some places, there are piles of bikes being thrown there. Personally, I am a local girl living in Guangzhou and I have to say that shared bikes have made my life so much easier!! My home has 1000 meters from the metro station and I can get to my home in a few minutes by riding bikes. I have filmed how I use bikes daily on my channel and I wanna show people how ordinary Chinese family live in China.
Yes - and imagine if everyone using those bikes switched to a car!! The bikes - and the way they are used is a great idea - and keeps you fit. I wish there was something virtually free like that in my neigbourhood, especially when there is an airshow on or something a few miles away. Your English is better than mine Linda :-) .
Yep it honestly sounds like a great idea! I live 4km from the metro and I would love to have a system like this so that I could just ride bike to the metro station daily instead of taking a bus.
I like your videos, focuses on daily life/problems in China and interesting topics. You have moved away from still tripod videos in front of a white wall, good stuff. I still have not run into you in Shenzhen yet! lol
Frenzy Afro China folks still have a bit of communist ideology left in them. Give them another generation or so and they will improve. South East Asia Chinese are not that selfish due to Capitalist influences.
Can someone resolve the apparent contradiction between the seeming fact that Chinese people don't care of things that aren't theirs and the fact that they are a 'communist' culture? Is it just the tragedy of the commons writ large or is something else at play here?
Thomas Middleton This is an epitome of Tragedy of Commons. Without sense of ownership, people generally do not care the stuff they use. It is human nature and inevitable. Ultimately in an ideal socialism or communism society, the idea of shared onwership is widely accepted in every one's mind, and tragedy of commons will be voluntarily avoided. China has not reached the ideal state yet, it takes time.
Thomas Middleton China is not a communism society. Instead, she is a socialism society with some capitalism tweak. If 100% communism, there won't be those shared bike company existing.
This is the result of all communist societies. The commie Western academia tell us it's a good thing because people care for the insides of their houses instead of "mere appearance" of public spaces like shallow capitalists. (I'm not kidding--I heard a professor claim this once.)
Only truly religious people care about other people's property and their own. Non religious people are filled with greed,hate,jealousy,and stubborn habits.
yes i got that far.. and beyond till the point of tape eject. And yes.. it was quite 'awesome' to see all those people doing their Tai Chi… It's a very interesting channel. I like it and subscribe to it.
Hey brother Winston appreciate yourr videos watch them basically every morning with my coffee. Love to see you do more adventures if possible and show /interact with maybe some events going on in China if possible to do so kinda when you went into a Chinese mall . Your videos are always usually bright cheery and comfy. Puts me Into a good mood! Love your other channel with your friend as well on the motor bikes always fun and insightful
Corvalis Oregon had a free share bike program. Locally funded by donations and volunteers. We fixed up donted bikes with donated parts, painted them funky colors, and set them out around the town to be used for free.
I made it to the end. Loved the GDS, the fan shots and the extra footage of life in China. Question: Do you film most of your drone shots? This was one of the things that really surprised me at first. I wouldn't have thought that such shots would even be allowed.
My guess is that China doesn't want any more US military presence in east Asia. Imagine the US if China had military bases in Mexico and in the Caribbean. The US has bases in Okinawa, Taiwan, South Korea and the Philippines. Whatever the solution to the problem of North Korea China would not want it to involve an expansion of US military presence in East Asia and understandably so.
Actually North Korea have very limited impact on Chinese's daily life.I living in Changchun,Jilin and no one care about this but I don't know these border cities like Dandong and Yanji.
The bike sharing we got in sweden (and have had for a decade) all are dock free. You pick it up and pay, go where you''re supposed to go and park it there. They're not as cheap as there though and they're tracked with GNSS.
Thanks again for another excellent video. The best was the end because it showed people out doing tai-chi. Not always the best way to spend a hot afternoon, but it was good to see people out and exercising. Keep up the good stuff. Any chance of some more aerials?
Oh, interesting - the green and light blue ones haven't made it to here yet. Well done, man! I'm still into it, and luckily, Chengdu hasn't had nearly the amount of problems with the disorganization and disorder. I've been seeing the horror stories on FB and Twitter in Shanghai and Shenzhen. Nice video, man!
What Winston is showing on this video is also happening in my city, Kuala Lumpur. The ones who mostly use it are the Bangladeshi/Pakistani workers and they would just leave it everywhere. This people have the same uneducated mentality as mainland Chinese.
China's population is huge, even a small percentage would result in a huge number. So pls don't say "here in China, people blablabla" or "Chinese people are always blablabla" That not what it is
Yes, it is. Face the problem don’t find any excuse. People learn from mistake then become better. Bay the way I am also from China, I see this everywhere, everyday, so definitely not like what you say just small percentage. Wake up please!
I am slowly starting to realize Winston may not want to make China look bad, but rather he is just a very negative person lol. I always thought everything he said was true tho. Maybe it's just his British mannerism that made him look at things more critically
I loved the end part where you just filmed the people walking around going about their business of their day. If one watches long enough, often enough, he can learn a lot about the local culture, traditions and habits.
Thanks for the bonus footage!... enjoyed it. ( How high do you take the drone before you could lose sight of it, or it loses control signal? Seems it could get away from you sometimes. Maybe do a drone video... )
I'm dying. That sea of abandoned bikes packed as tightly as humanly possible is the most China thing I have ever seen.
chun-li stage street fighter II
Here in Melbourne we just chuck em in the Yarra River when we're done with them
I done this so many times.. left homeless sleeping people drinks and food next to them, totally relate to you. Good man.
I loved the bonus footage, it was so interesting!! Thanks for another wonderful video!
I agree. Footage after the schooling is a plus. I do not care if it is Winston watching television while in the house as seeing what is on television in China is interesting in itself.
more bikes less car traffic and less pollution but the bike chip needs to be paired with the bike zones or else they get overcharged on the app.
isnt it just to grab any bike go to your destination and leave it there, since there is so many fucking bikes and people everywhere
co2 isn't pollution it's plant food
For those who are not in China, here are some helpful videos to start bicycle commuting: th-cam.com/play/PLFOOfdNQa2ztXPVRuIUWE3gPntkTMBSWs.html
unless the 'food' overwhelms the consumers

"Prevent people from parking there bikes anywhere?"
Not their bikes, rented bikes.. get that str8 bro
You know Winston (and cmilk) are good human beings when they give protips about helping the less fortunate, no matter where you might be. Kudos man, can't wait for your northern trip.
you'd have to be be an evil uncle or auntie to think they aren't great dudes.
That's true of cmilk, but in the the case of Winston I think it might just be because it makes his narcisstic side feel good to give to a random hobo, be it on or off camera. He overtly admitted to being narcisstic, and so am I. Just my opinion, don't get the pitchforks out.
It's not admirable, it's what every decent person should do.
Still seems like a good guy though. He can still be narcisstic but care about care about others. (was replying to NPJ Global). I sure wouldn't mind having a few beers with either of these guys.
He's a healthy narcissist; not a bipolar type with an ego fed by the misfortune of others in a zero sum game.

somebody discovered the 10 minute trick
Abrasumente +0:02!
Abrasumente what is the ten minute trick?
Is it good or bad?
It gives you more options when deciding what adds you can put on the video and where.
Saw this comment half way through the video, and figured he must have stretched out the video by a few seconds to ensure it was over 10 minutes. Then I got to 6.5 mins and realised it was over already! 😂😂
Poor man on the subway! Most Chinese wouldn’t even give them 一毛, (ten Chinese cents) which is approx 1.4 cents! Good job giving him a drink，干得好！
In my opinion, this is just like a typical growing trend of a new thing. First, it grows quite well because of its innovation.And then as it grows, problems appear and it comes to the bottleneck stage. The next phase depends on how the problems are solved. If practiable solutions and regulations are put into practice, then it will became stable and a formal part of the transportation means. But if fails to solve issues, it just phases out. By the way, I really think our Chinese need to improve our bevariour when it comes to using shared stuff and places.
problem is...they botched up the proper way to run the business
This is one of my favorite channels. I don't watch much, but can't keep myself away from these videos. Good production too.
It's called the tragedy of the commons people don't take care of public anything anywhere.
All a matter of education/training and creating the basic conditions for it to fall on fertile soil. E.g. the more scams are considered a common thing in society, the less you can expect people to not be selfish.
In case of those share bikes, if people are under the impression that the company providing them is just trying to rip someone off, they would naturally not treat those products with respect.
Communism
They have started using these now in London in the past 3-6mths and the same problem is beginning to occur here as well. Piles of bikes just dropped on a random street corner blocking the pavement and making the area look messy.
If they dont leave it in the designated area, the app can just charge them extra, for the app has gps and it "knows" where it is being parked
Bullet Chan that's next step.
Bullet Chan - That would require additional investment by the companies
I don't think there was much thought put into implementing these bicycles... like no impact studies or regulations. I imagine the politicians get some kickbacks to implement those bikes quickly once the idea was introduced.
clever
From a programming perspective it would be quite simple, if you already have the gps co-ordinates, then you just check if the end location is within a designated area.
The hard part is defining what is a "designated area". If it's set by the government then maybe they will provide a list designated areas (like the painted white lines), or maybe they'll provide a list of banned areas, which would probably be simpler logistically and programmatically.
The extra footage in the end was really interesting! ^_^ By watching your videos I learn new things about China every time. Your videos are really good! :)
There's a term for this,"tragedy of the commons."
we got the same problem in sydney with share bikes being dumped anywhere.
You dont get the idea of how these mobike company make money. They dont rely on that 1 rmb per hour. Instead every user have to pay 100-200rmb deposit to the company wenn they first time use the app. These deposit can be totally taken back by the user anytime. But as long as user dont take these deposit out, these money is a large amount of working capital for a company. The can use these capital to buy other financial product, for example stock or funds.

In germany you dont have to pay any deposit for mobike
I never saw this angle before... God I'm stupid :(
but these bikes are mass produced and it wouldn't take long to pay off cost of bike. also even if thats not the case. its likely it would be the same thing as investing in planting trees that will take 100 years to reach an age they can be harvested at. yes it will take you 100 years before you can harvest the trees. but the total value of that property rises constantly as the trees grow. so you can buy the property and plant the trees. then sell the property for a profit when they are 1 foot tall. or buy it when they are 10feet tall and sell at 15.
so for companies like this. you can make it really big really fast then even if you ignore initial investment or sign up fees if its very popular and widely used the value of company itself explodes with its popularity then you can sell. buuut if stuff like this is common where just shit loads of people pile on because of ether lack of copyright laws or lack of enforcement then potential buyers would likely wait. but who knows.
i still think it wouldn't take that long to pay for the bike. and even if its some kind of short term scam the bikes will still be there long after the owners up and run with the money so still good for the people. those piles are insanity though.

Pretty shure that no matter what you do China will still be China 🇨🇳 🇨🇳 🇨🇳
It's a cultural problem. Chinese have a history of taking everything too big without thought to possible consequences. Look up "the great sparrow drive". I always see that as a metaphor for the overriding Chinese national character.
Shared bikes have become a problem in Berlin:

love the haircut man, keep doing what your doing
C-Milk should learn!
Exactly what I wanted to write right know
i need to cut my hair, but its i never have time....
First thing i thought of was Forest Gump
nah, it's not the haircut, it's the sideburn, which has not been taken care of as usual, gives a casual look.
I really like these bikes, but here in Singapore everything is a bit more orderly (so much so that they actually _add_ to the aesthetic of the city imo) so I can see why they would be a slight nuisance in countries such as China.
Edit: The bikes are actually a Singaporean concept and I think it is very plausible that Singapore might actually be the only place where they would be viable
Loved the Tai Chi footage bro. I can watch them all day. Very therapeutic
We have a similar problem in the US... at the grocery store. It always pisses me off how people can't be bothered to walk their shopping cart to the designated area. In fact, it REALLY pissed me off when my car got hit by one of these carts on a windy day.
The oil companies must be furious.
that oil bitches have earn lots of money
Still lots of cars about
Dankus Memus trie requires oil🤔
Hahaha, I made it to the end. Very interesting videos you produce. It gives an education of China that I probably would never have otherwise.
These bike are currently being slowly banned in sydney
Your sense of humor is underestimated. It's a perfect fit as you help 'foreigners' understand the culture, geography, cuisine and general mindset of China. It's all very much appreciated.
Why does serpentza always wear a suit?
Because he's an entrepreneur, and he knows the value of a first impression.
Great stuff Winston! Awesome as always!
Hey Winston, love your channel. Any chance you could do some videos on the different aspects of gaming in China? The trends in mobile, console, PC and genuine vs fakes would all be interesting. I've also heard there's still quite a healthy underground arcade scene in China, there was an article last year about shmup super players. I originally found your channel from one of your gaming vids so more stuff would be cool. I work in mobile games and know that the trends are very different in China compared to not only the rest of the world but the rest of Asia.

they sell your GPS travel data. That's how they make money.
😂

I got this far.
Thank you for another awesome video!
Hey Winston, I definitely enjoyed the tai chi footage and watched all the way until the end. I'll be moving to Beijing in 3 weeks and your videos have helped a lot. You're really good at what you do, I wish you all the best!
the new cut is fresh my man. Please keep this look. Much better than the side burns.
I really appreciate that you get right to the point and, for the most part, stay on topic in your videos.
Great Tai Chi footage!
Geoff Meek I made it to this point to. Seems like Tai Chi is everywhere.
when you're old, nobody wants your organs.

Really liked the Tai Chi, drone footage and accompanying music. Another great piece Winston.
My favorite part of the video was when you saw the homeless man , and even though you were busy , instead of just walking on by and acting like you didnt see him , you considered the fact that it was hot out , and that he probably needed a drink . However small a gesture it was , im sure the elderly man was given a small bit of hope , that there are still some people out there that do care .
Yep, definitely enjoyed the bonus Tai-chi footage (and music), Winston. Thanks for adding it!
Hahah wow~ That's footage! Bicycle grid lock!
Thanks Winston for the video, the footage at the park is great, a very nice touch and did I mention the music, excellent choice. Thanks again
"These things are everywhere!" You mean like cars?
Yet another amazing video! love your work! STAY AWESOME!
Thank again Winston 😘. I learnt so much off you. Not just informed informations from china but all the great soundtrack as well. Really appreciate all your work and looking forward to learn more from you. I wish you and your loving wife Sasha the very best.. sorry I missed spell your miss
Sincerely.

Saw it to the end! Great video Winston!
This is a good example of.... great idea...but bad implementation....
You're on my top 10 favorite TH-camrs. I don't know what it is about you, but you just have a hook that reels us in.

Good vid!
all of that B-roll in the end to get it over 10 minutes for the extra ad revenue aha
great video though keep up the work
kane w I dont like people doing effort for 10 minutes videos
Specially if they are rich big youtubers, but i don't mind if he does it
Interesting variant of bike sharing. Enjoyed all of the additional footage at the end of the video. Good vid! Thanks.
Hey Winston, I am a Brazilian big fan of you and I am living in Shenzhen, let's take some coffee some day. Hope you see this message.
É uma boa ideia viajar para a China?
I like your videos, focuses on daily life/problems in China and interesting topics. You have moved away from still tripod videos in front of a white wall, good stuff. I still have not run into you in Shenzhen yet! lol
Awesome vid 👍Respect in giving the homeless guy a drink 🤝
Great video. I like the end segment too.
you called that allot of bikes pfffff
come to Denmark
love your videos, keep up the good work. videos like yours are the future of entertainment and information.

This is the result of all communist societies. The commie Western academia tell us it's a good thing because people care for the insides of their houses instead of "mere appearance" of public spaces like shallow capitalists. (I'm not kidding--I heard a professor claim this once.)
Only truly religious people care about other people's property and their own. Non religious people are filled with greed,hate,jealousy,and stubborn habits.
The contradiction is resolved by realising that it is not a communist society in the slightest.
I love it the bonus footage was great! Stay awesome!
yes i got that far.. and beyond till the point of tape eject. And yes.. it was quite 'awesome' to see all those people doing their Tai Chi… It's a very interesting channel. I like it and subscribe to it.
Hey brother Winston appreciate yourr videos watch them basically every morning with my coffee. Love to see you do more adventures if possible and show /interact with maybe some events going on in China if possible to do so kinda when you went into a Chinese mall . Your videos are always usually bright cheery and comfy. Puts me Into a good mood! Love your other channel with your friend as well on the motor bikes always fun and insightful
Corvalis Oregon had a free share bike program. Locally funded by donations and volunteers. We fixed up donted bikes with donated parts, painted them funky colors, and set them out around the town to be used for free.
what happen to it?
30 a year is still not bad at all
where can i get one in Corvallis？
I made it to the end. Loved the GDS, the fan shots and the extra footage of life in China.
Question: Do you film most of your drone shots? This was one of the things that really surprised me at first. I wouldn't have thought that such shots would even be allowed.
Winston can you please do a movie on what's going on between the Chinese and North Korea?? I really want your insight from someone living in China.
You don't need insight lol. China doesn't even care about North Korea, they just want them as a buffer zone, North Korea is a liability.
I thought Winston don't want to let himself involve in politic?
My guess is that China doesn't want any more US military presence in east Asia. Imagine the US if China had military bases in Mexico and in the Caribbean. The US has bases in Okinawa, Taiwan, South Korea and the Philippines. Whatever the solution to the problem of North Korea China would not want it to involve an expansion of US military presence in East Asia and understandably so.
Actually North Korea have very limited impact on Chinese's daily life.I living in Changchun,Jilin and no one care about this but I don't know these border cities like Dandong and Yanji.
to do that, he need interview Kim Jong Un .
that hardcore ass music over aunties and uncles doing tai chi.... made my night. stay awesome winston.
The bike sharing we got in sweden (and have had for a decade) all are dock free. You pick it up and pay, go where you''re supposed to go and park it there. They're not as cheap as there though and they're tracked with GNSS.

justabit meh in the Netherlands we had this and everyone owns a bike anyway.
Well I made it to the end :) great video as always thanks for the share.
Tragedy of the commons!
Needs cultivation of social intelligence through education and creating the social conditions that allow higher standards to be practiced.
Thanks again for another excellent video. The best was the end because it showed people out doing tai-chi. Not always the best way to spend a hot afternoon, but it was good to see people out and exercising. Keep up the good stuff. Any chance of some more aerials?
keep haircut, so hansrum
Oh, interesting - the green and light blue ones haven't made it to here yet. Well done, man! I'm still into it, and luckily, Chengdu hasn't had nearly the amount of problems with the disorganization and disorder. I've been seeing the horror stories on FB and Twitter in Shanghai and Shenzhen. Nice video, man!
Lemmings on bikes
I enjoyed the bonus footage as well. Thank you :)
Of it not theirs people don't care, tis not just the Chinese it world wide
Not true, mate. That's just not true. You have to live in a place like China to understand what this guy is saying. It's on a different level.
This happens in Singapore too not just China
What Winston is showing on this video is also happening in my city, Kuala Lumpur. The ones who mostly use it are the Bangladeshi/Pakistani workers and they would just leave it everywhere. This people have the same uneducated mentality as mainland Chinese.
Definitely not like that in Japan.
Japanese clean stadium before leaving. Civic sense varies widly around the globe but chinese have little of it even if they are not the worst.
great footage, nice to watch as always and a good music at the end. great! keep up!!
China's population is huge, even a small percentage would result in a huge number. So pls don't say "here in China, people blablabla" or "Chinese people are always blablabla" That not what it is
Yes, it is. Face the problem don’t find any excuse. People learn from mistake then become better. Bay the way I am also from China, I see this everywhere, everyday, so definitely not like what you say just small percentage. Wake up please!
Who knew bicycles could be so interesting? Fantastic close-out footage. Thank you!
I am slowly starting to realize Winston may not want to make China look bad, but rather he is just a very negative person lol. I always thought everything he said was true tho. Maybe it's just his British mannerism that made him look at things more critically
he's south african
Get off the drugs hes saying it how it is he doesn't like to sugarcoat anything he stays awsome
been watching your videos entire day! great stuff! thanks so much for such cool insight into china's culture ;)
Dont have to show yourself giving drink to homeless man.
+Sunny Nexxt why not? It was part of my day
Sunny Nexxt well said!
On the positive side, this act will actually inspire and influence many others to do the same, making the world a greater place.
MeButYou YT The man still got a drink regardless of the intent.
Sunny Nexxt
Wow, I was surprised to see a man sleeping outside in the video and the camera man left him a drink.
I am inspired. Another awesome video.
Loved the Tai Chi footage as well as footage of the city. Thank you for caring for the homeless no matter what country you’re in😃
Thanks serpentza for informative video. I appreciate this kind of stuff.
Really like this episode, keep it up!
Great video. Very nice ending with the tai chi practice, love it . Thanks
I loved the end part where you just filmed the people walking around going about their business of their day. If one watches long enough, often enough, he can learn a lot about the local culture, traditions and habits.
This is really good... And fantastic work
Thank you for Tai chi footage & GDSs as always
Really nice GDS and tai-chi footage, really great that you allow us to have a sight into shenzhen area and daily life !
Thanks for the bonus footage!... enjoyed it. ( How high do you take the drone before you could lose sight of it, or it loses control signal? Seems it could get away from you sometimes. Maybe do a drone video... )
Thanks for the insight. Very unique TH-cam channel you have.
I loved the Tai-Chi in the park and the drone shoot !! Great way to end a video.
enjoyed the bike update and the tai chi footage was a great bonus.
