Hey bro, as a Chinese i really appreatiate your friendly attitude towards people. And these content are valuable for me especially the part about how to overcome anxiety in social. Keep working on it.
I spent 4 years in south korea 1976-1980 in the military, i learnt korean language by doing what you are doing, i got away from all english speaking people and i talked to people in the small villages, and i got same kind reaction that you are getting, i was an adventurous person and liked learning different cultures, in end of my 4 years tour in Korea, i almost spoke fluent korean. P.S. at the time i did this, we didn’t have smart phone or computer. The only thing i had was my 35mm camera.
Hello, Mike, 那里的人似乎很注重商业，我很乐意在那里创业, and i think one day, you will own a business there with your wife. There seem to a business everywhere, especially in the food service.
Hey bro, it’s good to know to had similar of such experiences back in the years living in Korea. I believe China Korea and Japan have similar reaction towards foreigners. At least in most cases. In fact I must say it is a great experiences having to interact with people of different cultures especially when you speak their language.
Mike actually starts sounding Chinese.😂Hey Mike where's fiancee? I haven't seen her for your last couple vlogs. She seems curious? I wanted you to go over and talking to whomever catches your eyes.❤🙄

The world is full of misunderstanding, wrong information, and a lot is there to kill the love people have for each other. Our world leaders are doing the best they can to put us apart.

If English is your second language,then you are doing a pretty good job.We all need that calm demeanor to through this life.You have demonstrated that knowing the local language is the easiest way to connect with the people.Great Job!!
Proud of you Mike. Making connections to people is vitally important. It teaches us about ourselves and others. Thanks for sharing your life and allow us to experience the beauty of China. Blessings to you sir. May good things and blessings come your way. May you never lack for anything in life as you connect to another culture through your eyes. Thx.
I agree on this so much 17:31. Everyone seems very relaxed, life is slower and they're out and about in parks etc. There is a huge sense of community and brotherhood. I've been to China 4 times and absolutely loved it.
A hug from Brazil to all of you! and realizing that that woman was filming you at 10:11, the way she pointed her cell phone made it clear. Chinese people are very friendly and curious, a very welcoming nation!
Esse cara ganha dinheiro do governo chines para mostrar somente as partes boas da China e fazer propaganda. Ele tem q mentir sobre certas coisas tipo oq ele disse nesse vídeo q é impossível ser deportado, na realidade as consequências podem ate ser mais graves se vc criticar a china, ja teve vloggers q tiveram que fugir da China tipo o serpenza pois o governo estava atrás dele. Muitos ja foram deportado e até presos nesse país.
When I went to Hong Kong 6 years ago, I met a lot of mainlanders at a Tech Convention, I got the same reaction as a black man. People were really nice. It was charming. I honestly wish the geo-politics would cease. We can do a lot more being cooperative than combative. Both sides are to blame and the people held hostage by those power brokers should just say ENOUGH and do away with the garbage.
Hi Mike, very proud of you and what you do in demistifying all the negative perceptions about China.Language is always a vital means of communication and you are educating lots of our there. Hope some day I learn a bit of Mandarin before visiting China.
You are such an inspiration. I started watching your videos the beginning of January 2024 and i must say you have convinced my family to learn mandarin. Big up to you. From S.A
You are very brave. Despite all warnings from the medias not to take ‘risk’ coming to China , you did it.I had been to China a number of time. It is probably one of the safest place on earth. Over here you will see friendly people, who want to take pictures with you, superb infrastructure, very conveniences to go around from city to city.All of my western friends who made visits to China came back with extremely high praises on China, on every aspect, such as friendliness of the people, the obvious and overt displays of happiness and satisfaction with their lives, the amount of true freedom enjoyed by the people and last but not least, the food.Some of the more outspoken western friends even adamantly condemned the lies in the reports in all of the western media.Have Fun ...
Awesome job Mike. I think it is great to go out and explore the Chinese culture. I think many foreigners to the Chinese might base their opinions on what they hear on the news, be it China or any other country. My take is, regardless of what you hear on the news, the majority of people just want to enjoy life, make new friends, and are just as curious as many from any foreign country are. They are not necessarily of the same mind set as their government is. I wish when i was younger i studied and learned many foreign languages as i would love to travel the world. keep up the great work.😊👍
Having the chance to travel and experience for ourselves is important. Always keep one thing in mind. Irrespective of the news everywhere exists a good, the bad and the ugly. What we are is exactly what we get!
Hey Mike I love and I watch every single video of yours I would really like to tell you that you put a spin on Our thoughts as Black Americans on China I never knew how nice China was until watching your videos it’s so inquisitive what you show I am deeply proud of you Mike I’m almost 53yrs old and you have really taught me so keep it up brother….until next video so long

I just found out your channel and I've been really enjoying your videos! I just wanted to say thanks for sharing so many great vlogs. I really love watching and getting to know different cultures and your videos are great for this! It shows how great Chinese people can be when interacting with foreign cultures. Thanks again and keep up the good work! Greetings and love from Chile.
I disovered you about two weeks ago and I must say I really enjoy your videos because they are so authentic and relaxing to watch. As I'm learning an east Asian language myself your videos are a real tresure to learn more about their mentality and culture. Keep it up Mike! :) :)
You got a new subscriber here. This is pretty cool. I'm Mexican but lived in US my whole life. Watching this is so interesting and eye opening. You could not find such a friendly place in America. The way people want to interact but yet are respectful is so awesome. I'm sure your audience would love it if you interact with them a lot more. Keep it up brother! 👍🔥
They are staring at him like he's a circus clown, man. Pause the video at any second and you will see some seriously rude behavior of staring and gawking at someone.

@@zaytime4156 Ohh probably. But the greeting is the most difference here right ? This Chinese people have amazing greetings rather than Americans. I can say it without any doubts. You won't get the same as here in America sometimes. Depends on people!
I am so happy that you are making black people look nice and friendly because that is our true nature. Black people, we are very inviting and very accepting. Thank you for representing us correctly.
Love the video and super insightful. As an African American I’ve always wondered what it’s like visiting/living in China. Also side note those Mercedes in your video are BMWs if I’m not mistaken! Still beautiful cars nonetheless
6:45 It's not impossible. If you criticize China the slightest bit you face harsh penalties. The CCP very regularly pays foreign vloggers to vlog and praise certain parts of China. There's several youtubers that talk about this.
the human experience is amazing. you leaned to speak chinese so i don’t have to. it’s interesting how seamless this all appears. but this video took so much investment of time and resources to create. thank you
Hello Mike, another great video bro! Your interaction with the Chinese people never ceases to amaze me! It’s amazing to witness the reaction of shock and surprise on their faces when you engage in lengthy conversations with them!!! The only problem I had was when I watched you riding a bicycle 🚴🏾 in China! Mike, you need a Harley Davidson Road Glide, or Ducati Diavel V4, or a BMW R GS1300 Motorcycle and leave the bicycles alone man!! But seriously, you are doing a fantastic job representing Black Men over there! All the best to your Mom and Nice, and keep on grinding bro! ✌🏾👍🏾
hey bro you dont look nervous at all, your social skills and accent are amazing, you inspired me to the idea of visiting china, because i got a whole bad idea before about it but now i just realized i was wrong, thx for your content bro ❤respect from morocco
14:31 they're all looking at you though 😂I'm also quite exotic here where I live (Indonesian living in Finland). So, I understand when you mentioned you could always felt the stares
Yeah this even happens for black men in America too sometimes….I’m black Very handsome and if I go to non black spaces like Arkansas, Colorado, Vermont, etc I get stared at and unwanted attention
Mike,I think you don't have to worried about your appearance or something, I got many Chinese friends in Nigeria cos I can speak Thier language, all you have to do is communicate with them because they are Soo nice and attractive
I love your videos… I love travel but feel the language gets in the way. How long did it take you to be fluent; and can you read and write the language ? Much respect ; keep videos coming … I’m visiting China thru your videos!
The street is so clean, lam a Korean veteran the street were clean there too compare to American street , China is so beautiful and the people are very friendly
Personality I would never go to China or anywhere with a black minority, I have seen how black people in china have been treated during the pandemic and I see how Chinese people try to treat black people even in black countries, I would much rather stay around my own kind, I would feel much safer that way. Having said that, I grew up in a Chinese family in Canada, Toronto to be exact, but even in that situation the Chinese were the minority and I was treated good. But there are certain countries that I would not want to visit as a black man and China is one of them.
My 2nd video. Couldn’t help but subscribe, very inspiring. Got me smiling ear to ear. Very nice and kind environment. I’ve always been interested in international travels and cultures.
You are the coolest most informative blogger in china,articulate,precise and gives you pertinent information. IT IS AS IF THE VIEWER IS IN CHINA WITH YOU.keep up the great videos!
Brother, massive respect 🙏...yeah, sometimes it's difficult....when I go to Eastern side of Turkey 🇹🇷....nobody speaks English, and everyone, turns and looks...I'm trying to learn Turkish, but my lord is it tough.....quality vlog bro 😉 😊
I understand learning a foreign language could be challenging at the start. When I came here I was the last person to believe I could speak Chinese. Remember this when we become fearless life becomes limitless. Don’t give up. If Turkish is seeming hard to learn. Face it with your strong foot forward.
I am so sorry Mike, bcus ofcourse this question has been asked many times before. How do you survive there? Do you have a job(s)? what line of work. Just keeps me puzzled man, and if you don't wanna answer it (again) please point me in a direction. LOVE your video's. I think you're a social genius and a courageous guy. Love from the Netherlands
Mike ,I was wondering, you give us English-speaking people subtitles but you should also try Chinese subtitles while you speak English so you can get have Chinese people fallow you and watch your channel and help them understand your point of view as a black man in China.
Mike I think the vlogging mythos is from the fact everyone is told about how China restricts certain information and internet activities and sites because of the political system in power right now. Also sad that in this day and age people still have hang ups and misconceptions about others based on color or religion or country of origin... People are People .. doesn't matter where.. there will always be those that are ignorant.. I applaud you for every video you produce and put on your channel as you are educating many it seems about misconceptions in general.. be well and have fun!!! your videos brighten my day!!! much love and respect from a Redman in Texas... I wonder what they would do if a long haired metalhead looking old dude with tats and piercings and a cane would react when told I am not actually white LOL guess I have to learn Chinese now... wifey wants to travel there and loves the history and culture..but seriously.. Thank you for showing us what the media doesn't..and not being anything other than you...
What the Western world does not understand is Chinese government is always looking to the interests of Chinese people.In the west, the government is only looking for the interests of the rich and famous.This is my views from Jamaica.
Hello Mr. Mike. New subscriber here.Enjoying the content. I have a some questions. I want to learn Mandarine Chinese. What are some pointers that you can give a novice?
Welcome to joining black in China. It’s good to know you follow my content. Stay tuned for more. I share a lot of tricks which will help for Chinese learning as well.
I just wanted to say I love your videos and seeing the reactions of the people especially the women and the kids..going on two years now I met a Amazing Asian woman and we are in a serious situation leading to Marriage she has made everyday in my life happy and Loving and I made her my Queen..my wish is to be able to speak Chinese I Think that would be so amazing.
Really drawing attention. Just walking by I could see most people turning around when moving past you. Take care, appreciate your videos! About that "no vlogging" misinformation. I think this is because of the firewall that is in China and lack of many western websites and social medias for Chinese people in mainland China. But that I think doesn't apply to foreigners, so that's why it is perfectly legal on your side. But, if Chinese would like to vlog and post it on TH-cam, or access one of the banned websites, they would need to use workaround measures that I think are not legal in China. But they could vlog using any legal Chinese platform they usually use. So yeah it is pretty much that people heard something that is true, but mixed it with something else making it not true or half-truth only. And thanks for showing us China again. Would love to visit one day. But in general admire your attitude. Introvert myself and I can't imagine people staring at me all the time, would drive me crazy. I don't blame them of course. I remember in my country seeing a black person like 25 years ago was also a view that you didn't get often. But would be a hard thing to get used to for me.
HI MIKE AM FROM KENYA ADDICTED TO YOUR CHANNEL MAN can you try to acct like you don't understand any Chinese word and see there reaction 😂 and see how they will talk behind you 😂
I went to china with a group about 20 years ago and one of my co workers was this 6 foot 5 black dude. Everywhere we went people kept asking to take pictures with him.

It’s so funny and cute when you call those school boys handsome, they all light up ❤😂
meh that was a little ghey 😂😂
hey bro you dont look nervous at all, your social skills and accent are amazing, you inspired me to the idea of visiting china, because i got a whole bad idea before about it but now i just realized i was wrong, thx for your content bro ❤respect from morocco
As a Malaysian, I am very excited when I come across people like you, if you come to Malaysia they really like and respect you
14:31 they're all looking at you though 😂I'm also quite exotic here where I live (Indonesian living in Finland). So, I understand when you mentioned you could always felt the stares
Yeah this even happens for black men in America too sometimes….I’m black Very handsome and if I go to non black spaces like Arkansas, Colorado, Vermont, etc I get stared at and unwanted attention
Loved the vid, and how comfortable and well spoken you are! Keep up the good work! At the 7:13 mark the blue car is BMW not a Mercedes👌🏿
I thought its a mistake then boom he did it again referring to BMW as a Merc
Mike,I think you don't have to worried about your appearance or something, I got many Chinese friends in Nigeria cos I can speak Thier language, all you have to do is communicate with them because they are Soo nice and attractive
Many are shy. You just have to make the first move
Bro, why are you calling black.
No matter Your color, hight, etc.
Matter your kind heart❤. Your work
Love from 🇮🇳India
black is not bad
Because he's black. You are making a big deal out of it. If i call you indian would you be offended?
Thanks Mike I'm very shy but when I see you doing what you doing and you not even in your own country wow takes alot of balls man ❤️
Amazing bro! The streets are so clean and the people are so friendly. In America the media makes us think that Chinese people hate black people.
I love ur videos, they are giving us a window into the truth of China!👍🎈😎
You're doing a good job Mike. I love watching your videos especially as it expose a lots of feelings about the Chinese people towards foreigners
You sound very jolly. That makes it easier to talk with you😊
I love your videos… I love travel but feel the language gets in the way. How long did it take you to be fluent; and can you read and write the language ?
Much respect ; keep videos coming … I’m visiting China thru your videos!
Glad you feel inspired by my videos. Maybe have a chance to meet here someday!
The street is so clean, lam a Korean veteran the street were clean there too compare to American street , China is so beautiful and the people are very friendly
People told me diverse countries will have trash the uk has trash everywhere
Great video Mike, I really like the videos you make in the shopping streets, the interaction with the Chinese is fantastic.
Personality I would never go to China or anywhere with a black minority, I have seen how black people in china have been treated during the pandemic and I see how Chinese people try to treat black people even in black countries, I would much rather stay around my own kind, I would feel much safer that way. Having said that, I grew up in a Chinese family in Canada, Toronto to be exact, but even in that situation the Chinese were the minority and I was treated good.
But there are certain countries that I would not want to visit as a black man and China is one of them.
My 2nd video. Couldn’t help but subscribe, very inspiring. Got me smiling ear to ear. Very nice and kind environment. I’ve always been interested in international travels and cultures.
You are the coolest most informative blogger in china,articulate,precise and gives you pertinent information. IT IS AS IF THE VIEWER IS IN CHINA WITH YOU.keep up the great videos!
Glad you enjoy my vlogs.
Great job mike your calmness and approaches to people is so amazing.
Happy new year Mike.Best wishes new year. All the best and take care. All the way from 🇳🇦
Many thanks!
23:10 When Mike talked about shyness and lack of cofidence, that little boy pointed at me through the screen I felt it
🇨🇳👦👉👀😂
Brother, massive respect 🙏...yeah, sometimes it's difficult....when I go to Eastern side of Turkey 🇹🇷....nobody speaks English, and everyone, turns and looks...I'm trying to learn Turkish, but my lord is it tough.....quality vlog bro 😉 😊
I understand learning a foreign language could be challenging at the start. When I came here I was the last person to believe I could speak Chinese.
Remember this when we become fearless life becomes limitless. Don’t give up. If Turkish is seeming hard to learn. Face it with your strong foot forward.
I don't hear so well these days (old age). I was wondering what did he say at 16:27? He said sometimes people refer to him as what?
Me & my family love your content thank you so much always praying 🙏 for you
Glad you and your family enjoy my videos
4:53 mom I took a pic with a black man😂😂😂😂😂 damn u even famous than drake there😂😂
As a elderly man living in UK you are an inspiration to us all 👍
Great video! Love from Finland
Much love to Finland 🇫🇮
Mike another wonderful video. I really enjoyed it. Good job.👍
Glad you enjoyed it
I lived in Shanghai for 2 years and being looked at happens on a daily basis! My favorite part was 13:20 that lady didn't even try and hide it HAHAHA
There is a fine line between confidence and narcissism. The same can be said for humility and shyness.
True
Replace narcissism with arrogance. A narcissist can be confident or arrogant.
I am so sorry Mike, bcus ofcourse this question has been asked many times before. How do you survive there? Do you have a job(s)? what line of work. Just keeps me puzzled man, and if you don't wanna answer it (again) please point me in a direction. LOVE your video's. I think you're a social genius and a courageous guy. Love from the Netherlands
Mike ,I was wondering, you give us English-speaking people subtitles but you should also try Chinese subtitles while you speak English so you can get have Chinese people fallow you and watch your channel and help them understand your point of view as a black man in China.
Will do something about it. Thanks for the feed back. I take them all into consideration
You are such a cool and polite guy, thank you for sharing all these impressions!
Always enjoy your videos. Keep enjoying your time in China 😎😎👍👍
Mike I think the vlogging mythos is from the fact everyone is told about how China restricts certain information and internet activities and sites because of the political system in power right now. Also sad that in this day and age people still have hang ups and misconceptions about others based on color or religion or country of origin... People are People .. doesn't matter where.. there will always be those that are ignorant.. I applaud you for every video you produce and put on your channel as you are educating many it seems about misconceptions in general.. be well and have fun!!! your videos brighten my day!!! much love and respect from a Redman in Texas... I wonder what they would do if a long haired metalhead looking old dude with tats and piercings and a cane would react when told I am not actually white LOL guess I have to learn Chinese now... wifey wants to travel there and loves the history and culture..but seriously.. Thank you for showing us what the media doesn't..and not being anything other than you...
What the Western world does not understand is Chinese government is always looking to the interests of Chinese people.In the west, the government is only looking for the interests of the rich and famous.This is my views from Jamaica.
I appreciate your support. Every member of this community plays a role to great extent. One love ❤️
相信我，有机会一定要亲自到中国看一看，这里凌晨两三点可以一个人去任何地方，甚至这个时间段路边会有很多美食可以吃，这里人们友好，会为你提供各种帮助的，语言不是障碍
we plan on it!! thank you @@icejuzi4012

I just wanted to say I love your videos and seeing the reactions of the people especially the women and the kids..going on two years now I met a Amazing Asian woman and we are in a serious situation leading to Marriage she has made everyday in my life happy and Loving and I made her my Queen..my wish is to be able to speak Chinese I Think that would be so amazing.
You're videos are amazing, keep up the good work, thank you.
23:15 It's called "Insecure" or "Self-Conscious"...
Mike, I'm Brazilian and I really liked your humility and sincerity, good video, may God bless you.
Really drawing attention. Just walking by I could see most people turning around when moving past you.
Take care, appreciate your videos!
About that "no vlogging" misinformation. I think this is because of the firewall that is in China and lack of many western websites and social medias for Chinese people in mainland China. But that I think doesn't apply to foreigners, so that's why it is perfectly legal on your side.
But, if Chinese would like to vlog and post it on TH-cam, or access one of the banned websites, they would need to use workaround measures that I think are not legal in China. But they could vlog using any legal Chinese platform they usually use.
So yeah it is pretty much that people heard something that is true, but mixed it with something else making it not true or half-truth only.
And thanks for showing us China again. Would love to visit one day.
But in general admire your attitude. Introvert myself and I can't imagine people staring at me all the time, would drive me crazy. I don't blame them of course. I remember in my country seeing a black person like 25 years ago was also a view that you didn't get often. But would be a hard thing to get used to for me.
9:23 that "Hey Boy" was spicy after the "Wassup my ma mans"😂😂😂😂
Gostei demais do vídeo, os chineses são muito respeitosos e amigáveis
I Admire you Bro you control ur self really good and all the girls looking whatttt 🔥🔥🔥🔥😃
Your voice is perfect, more for me cuz I’m learning english also what you’re doing is super interesting
HI MIKE AM FROM KENYA ADDICTED TO YOUR CHANNEL MAN can you try to acct like you don't understand any Chinese word and see there reaction 😂 and see how they will talk behind you 😂
Glad you enjoy my videos.
You are very brave. Being black in China can be very difficult! Respect❤
Consistent quality content....🎉❤
I went to china with a group about 20 years ago and one of my co workers was this 6 foot 5 black dude. Everywhere we went people kept asking to take pictures with him.
Hey Bro, those were BMW cars and not a Mercedes-Benz. Awesome videos... 👏🏻
