      I guess you didn't breath the air? You realize that burning coal pollutes the air? You know China burns half the coal the entire planet uses, so where is the pollution going? Yes, in your lungs.

    A non-Chinese from Southeast Asia country. I really admired American of any skin color. They are so lucky that they can come to Asia countries and still they are so welcomed to work and live especially China without facing any racism, discrimination or Asian tell them to go back to your country or go back to America. In China and other Asia countries they can travel to any corner without have to fear of any danger.
    Decades ago, I went US in California living at La Habra the City of Brea. It is my America dream since my teenage days to go to US and hope to be accepted as citizen after getting my green card. But unfortunately, it doesn't work out for me and my America dream ended up a nightmare.
    I really can't remember how many times I was told by the locals especially the whites telling me "Hay! Asian, go back to your Asia" Many racist names calling on me. And I was chased by a white gang wanted to beat me up.
    After living for about half a year, I decided that this is not a country for been I am an Asian. People are very racist especially against Asians. I finally packed and returned back to my home country and never been back again. Not even if I am paid to go.

      Let me tell you US, UK, CANADA, SWEEDE, DENMARK, NORWAY, DUTCH, GERMANY IS STUPID & IM NOT FEEL SORRY FOR THEM!! Why I say that??
      THEYRE BLOODY RACIST & VIOLENT HATEFUL TOWARDS TO ASIAN!!
      They always used excuse reason as “MISTAKE & CANT RECOGNIZE ANY ASIAN SO THEY THINK ALL & EVERY ASIAN IS CHINESE” lolz 😅😅😅
      So being CHINESE DESERVE HATE & RACIST??
      CHINESE IS SMART, HARDWORKING & WELL EDUCATION PPL. Mostly ordinary CHINESE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE, only want live in PEACE, ENJOY LIFE WITH FAMILY & FRIENDS, STUDY & RUNNING BUSINESS, EARN MONEY, ENJOY VACATION & TRAVEL.
      ASIAN IS SMART & HARDWORKING, FRIENDLY & PEACEFUL PEOPLE!!
      *Asian Western (born & raise in Western) & ASIAN IMMIGRANTS IS BLENDING WELL WITH LOCALS & OTHERS CULTURES!!
      *Asian is LESS TROUBLEMAKER IF COMPARE TO ANY OTHERS IMMIGRANTS GROUPS IN EURO!!
      But ASIAN get most RACIST HATEFUL & VIOLENT ATTACK!!
      Bloody racist hateful towards to Asian is nothing new & no one FKING DARE TO TALK ABOUT THIS & NEVER ACCEPTS RACIST HATEFUL & VIOLENT ATTACK TO ASIAN IS REAL CRIMES & REAL PROBLEM!!
      THEY ALL DENY & COVERY THERE IS NO RACIST ATTACK TOWARD TO ASIAN. Disgusting!!
      But the fact still here & it happen long times ago not just now
      Anyone have eyes no blind & brains no stupid can see this truth facts.
      ALOTS YOUNGFUL ASIAN STUDENT & SKILLS IMMIGRANT IN SWEEDE, DUTCH, GERMANY, UK, NORWAY, DENMARK ARE WELL EDUCATION PEOPLE BUT GET KICK OUT & FACE MOST PICKY SELECTED & REJECT!!
      There are alots case, ASIAN IMMIGRANTS WORKERS IN SWEEDE AS DOCTORS & TECHS ENGINEER, PROFESSORS & SKILLS WORKERS get rejected & need proven, fulfill long-ass paperwork.
      WESTERN GORVEMENT & THESE PEOPLE RACIST HATEFUL, KICKED OUT ASIAN IMMIGRANTS, TAKE ANYONE ELSE BUT NON-ASIAN!!
      See what your country get when they’re racist towards to ASIAN & TAKE MILLIONS NON ASIAN.
      WESTERN racist & bias hateful to BEAUTIFUL, & HARDWORKING & PEACEFUL ASIAN TO TAKE THIS SHIT!!
      Kicked & reject EAST ASIAN & SOUTHEAST ASIAN WITH GOOD FAMILIES VALUES.
      They don’t want BEAUTIFUL, WELL EDUCATION & HARDWORKING, VALUES PEOPLE!!
      Your country want LAZY PEOPLE, DRUGGIES ZOMBIES ADDICTED, THUGS & CRIMINALS whose Abuse leeching welfare benefits system & squeeze taxpayers from hardworking people to feeds them.
      So they can stay at home, flirt around have sex then breeding nonstop like a rabbits.
      So thugs can stay have all free stuff to do routes “EAT-SLEEP- SPEND FREE MONEY BUY DRUGS/ALCOHOL TO FULFILL THEIR HIGH SHIT” then spend freetime go around do whatever they want, attackers people & robbery people. Blow up, destroy everyone life environments into shitty holes, throwing all shitty stuffs around & harmful whole city, affecting everyone!!
      But ridiculous part is, they can get away freely with this attitude action & their crimes!!
      ASIAN WESTERN (born & raise) & Asian immigrants - anywhere settled down life, they brings TRADES, BUSSINESS, COLOR LIVELY VIBES & GOOD CULTURES!!
      ASIAN HAVE GOOD FAMILY CULTURES. They’re help continue build their immigrants country as it’s their country when they’re chose IMMIGRANTS.
      Asian still facing most racist hateful & violent attacks more than anyone, any others races!!
      It’s all because to them ASIAN IS SMALL & QUIETLY, PEACEFUL, EASY TO TARGETS!!

    • @weisong3917
      @weisong3917 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      In America racism is like air - it’s everywhere. It’s hard to fathom for a country that thrives on immigrants. Immigration from China, however, is ebbing because China’s living standard is closing the gap with the US. Because China is a huge nation, social and economic development is not balanced. It takes some time for the Chinese to cease to pursue the so called “American dream” like the Japanese, Taiwanese, Koreans and Singaporeans. But that day will come for sure..

    The world economic climate has been reporting that China has built the mother of all housing bubbles, around 37% of their GDP.
    Again no insult because many countries have housing bubbles also just not as large.
    What kind of plan do they have in place for when it pops, and how will the population react to decades of possible stagflation somewhat what Japan went through and their lost decade.
