![CWC 4th Listening Session with Speaker Prof. Dr. Ilia Delio OSF [ENGLISH]](/img/n.gif)
Thanks so much for watching! Watch until the end to find out our future plans and if they involve more time in China!? Have you visited or do you plan to in the future?
你去中国越多，你对中国的恐惧就越少。是真的。
No guys, democracy is a beautiful lie like Santa. Elections are scams, at least in the US; all candidates are working for the donors, not for the people, but the definition of democracy is "By the people, for the people," not by the oligarchs, for the oligarchs. Both Biden and Trump are weapon dealers of the military-industrial complex. Spending $8 trillion on the war but no money for the homeless people or infrastructure is the evidence.
只能说你们老外被西方媒体洗脑太严重，对中国的过去现在和未来基本上很少了解，但中国人对世界的了解是非常深入的。
Definitely plan on visiting but we’ve only flown through one of the airports and it was super cool and seemed pretty futuristic

I can guarantee these police were not watching you. They may not even be police because security guards have similar black uniform. This makes a very common misunderstanding for first time visitors. Real police has "police" sign written on his back and most likely wearing a reflective jacket and armed with utility belt without guns.
Shanghai sees tens of thousands of foreign visitor at a daily bases. It's simply ridiculous to allocate police force to do one on one surveillance. Daily salary of a police officer in Shanghai exceeds your tourist profit. It would be just easier to not let anybody in. Same goes to the cameras. What on earth would the government get by putting people watching these csmeras 24h day? I personally had to go through a 4hour recording to find where I lost my phone, it made me puke by the end.
If you don't carry out political activity in public or are not someone of great importance, you will be left alone. No one really cares, especially the police.
Yeah for sure that make sense. The people we were referring to had reflective markings and also police on the back but that's besides the point really. I suppose the idea is that they can be and are used in many different ways in general. Why would people want to watch us...aside from on TH-cam ofcourse ha!
@@JennandLeon Residents are curious and Chinese people have a different idea about personal space. If you come to my town you are my guest. It's ok for me to stare at you and make chichat then take selfies. I guess it's a culture derived from rural life when strangers are rare to a village. You will get used to it, they mean no harm.
But watch out for people(non child) approaching you with local accent English. Scammers.
@@YongLi-np3wg yes, especially the one try to bring you to tea house.
@@JennandLeon It's your own obsessed paranoia. Yeah, I know. In the States, it'll be 'I cant breathe' !!!!. Chinese police don't carry guns, but you being the small kid that you are, you're even afraid of the mere presence of uniform, LOL
@@Yenhongsin77 or some hidden door. 🤣

That makes sense
that is right

@@奇奇蒂蒂貓貓 If Taiwan doesn't go for independence, then the Mainland will never need to use force.
@@奇奇蒂蒂貓貓 What makes you think they will? China's not the party that allied with a foreign power that previously colonized and pillaged their homeland and kept on repeating that matter for over a century.
In China, it's true that every university has at least one halal restaurant. Muslims are considered a minority, and the Chinese government offers them preferential treatment. Muslim students can attend top universities with relatively low college entrance exam scores.
Not only only Muslim students can enter university with lower examination points. In fact, all the minority people the students are the same too.
this is very true. I entered the University with 10 scores lower than my classmates@@hengongchua6250

@@yerri5567 all Muslims are considered ethnic minorities in china, they are Hui, Uyghurs, Khazars and other Muslim ethnic minorities.

Thank you for the welcome!

The cages were for keeping the thieves out, in addition to keeping children from falling and laundry blown away. Back 20-40 years ago when those buildings were built, China was a wild west with large number of migrants everywhere. Safety was an issue and concern. In the past 10 years, the safety in China has vastly improved because of the surveillance technologies. The cost of committing a crime is too high and a thief will for sure be caught by the cameras and the facial recognition technologies. People feel safe because of the cameras. So now the cages have disappeared in new buildings. Residential communities surround themselves in walls and gates to enhance the perimeter security, with 24 hour guards at the gate. The walls also provide a sense of exclusivity because many communities have inner gardens and courtyards and club facilities. Jenn seems to imply that the walls are a means of government control, it's not. Nowadays, China is one of the safest places to visit.
I/Jenn mentioned it was/is possible and easier to do and was done during the pandemic.. that’s all. Easier for containment - if that method was chosen.. over other styles of homes/Communities
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! We appreciate it
@@JennandLeon您好！欢迎来中国，即使在疫情期间，我们大部分时间也是自由的，是周边没有病毒威胁的那种自由，我个人所在城市三年时间被封禁的时间加起来大约三个月左右，放开管控后几乎所有人都感染了病毒，但幸运的是病毒杀伤力巳经下降了，对付病毒的方法也增加了，我母亲也安全度过了感染，她今年87岁了，总的来说，我感激我们的政府在疫情期间所做的，他们尽了最大的努力保护了普通老百姓。
@@JennandLeon Here in Malaysia we have many of these so called cages too in the old days to keep thieves out and children from falling. We also have residential communities surrounded by walls which we call GATED COMMUNITY and many developers here always feature this as a selling point for security. Many Western vloggers have also seen all these here in Malaysia and no one complain about it but when it is seen in China then everything is nefarious, WHY? Don't you think your biases against China is clouded with too much negative portraying of China by your western media and politicians.
我理解他们的猜测，因为毕竟潜意识里面还会有西方媒体灌输的很多关于中国的阴谋伦，但是我相信在不久的将来他们长时间探索中国的时候所有的误解都会解开
You have just entered China with the ideological imprint of Western media, and encountered some minor unpleasantness upon entering the country, which has led to some negative initial impressions of you. For example, the "cage" is an anti-theft window that was not forcibly installed by the police, but we paid for it ourselves. In my new residential area, we are even very angry because the property requirements are unified and beautiful, and we are not allowed to install it. However, this is normal, and everything cannot go as planned. Let's continue to visit in depth, and I believe that the positive things you see far outweigh the negative ones. I hope to approach the problem rationally, just like there is a piece of garbage on the ground, you cannot say that China is filled with garbage everywhere. The freedom that Chinese people want is happiness in life. Your so-called freedom is not so important, such as cursing the president or running freely during the epidemic, which can lead to a loss of order and efficiency, endangering the majority of the people. In China, prices are stable and cheap. Although the per capita income in China is relatively low when converted to US dollars and euros, when you compare purchasing power, the difference is very small. A bottle of beverage costs 20 RMB in China and 7 euros in Europe. With this difference, the living standards of the middle class in China are much higher than those in the UK and the United States. Moreover, looking at the government's responsibility and efficiency, the speed of economic growth, and the negative consequences of the United States and the United Kingdom shifting from real to virtual financial development, it is already very obvious and will continue to decline in the future. My English is not good because it is not very necessary in work and life. This passage was translated by machine. I hope you can experience the correctness in your future trip to China.
说得很好！！
来自中国诚挚的爱❤ 虽然你们只在中国停留了很短的时间，但是通过视频可以感受到你们在用心感受一个城市，用心感受这个国家。我是中国人，我也去过很多国家，英国，法国，意大利，俄罗斯等等，我想说的是当你具备独立思考的能力的时候，你会发现走出家门，外面很大，这个世界很美好，我们只活一次，不要成为政治的工具，虽然在这个地球村上大家有不同的肤色，有不同的文化背景，但这就是旅行的意义。
另外我想告诉你们，你们在中国不用担心拍摄会带来问题，我们并不讨厌镜头，相反中国人很乐于助人也很随和，我们更愿意向你的镜头打招呼🙋♂️你们可以24小时举着摄像机记录下你们的一切。现在中国有144小时的过境免签政策，希望你们可以再回到中国，用一周的时间来了解这个国家，你们一定会爱上这里🎉我去过很多国家，我可以用英语和俄语熟练交流，但是客观地说，目前我还没有发现任何一个国家比中国更干净，更方便，更有历史底蕴
It's been mentioned by other TH-camrs that China is actually a very free country for filming. You can film almost anywhere in public spaces. People on the street don't mind. Restaurant owners don't mind. Even the security guards in shopping malls don't mind.
To my knowledge, You should avoid pointing the camera to police or military guard for too long, also avoid shooting price tags in supermarket one by one without buying anything.
Then you can shoot whatever you want.

I would say lots of comments u said r a little bit bias which caused by western media. I understand that, living in a media environment full of lies will make u even not realize that. For example, the air pollution, water pollution are barely to see in most of cities in China. I’m studying in Vancouver now, I can say the air quality in most of Chinese cities r similar with Vancouver. The countryside would be even better than Van. U can check the AQI on ur iPhone weather. Also, if u go to see the yellow river, the river is no longer yellow cuz the government pay lots of effort into reducing the amount of sediment in the water. Anyway, Happy birthday and welcome back to China!
Yes that is a fair statement. But I think it's important to bring up these points and to discuss things fairly...this is why we asked people to leave and read the comments. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
日本核污水排放，和对大自然的污染，并不影响西方对日本的追捧！这就是政治！这就是不公平，无懈可击
16:20 Muslim is pretty much everywhere in China especially Hui people, I was born in Shanghai and we have always had Hui classmates in school and my wife's high scool is actually for Hui students but they also accept Han students and their lunch and dinner are completely Halal. It's just that common and I was shocked that this fact would be so twisted outside China when I first heard about it.
这是去过中国了 ， 还不相信所看到的 ， 震惊到我了， 长期被洗脑 的后果。
没所谓，中国人了解他们就够了。
我是汉族。我的朋友有好几个都是回族。。我们在一起的时候吃饭就是回族饭店。。尊重回族宗教。。
I was also shocked by the narrowness of the Western media, which would distort facts and deceive civilians because of politics
After watching your three videos, it’s clear that you just strolled around the suburbs of Pudong in Shanghai and never even entered the downtown area. Yet you made a ton of comments as if you were experts, thinking you knew a lot, but in reality, you know nothing. This trip was really pointless. Although you tried hard to appear objective, your words were full of stereotypes and preconceived notions.
Regarding VPNs, if you want to get a good one, just ask any Chinese person in the comments section of your video, and you will get a recommendation for a reliable VPN.
You said that 30 years ago, Bibles couldn't be brought into China. I've never heard of that. Well, 30 years ago, I wasn't even born, and back then, China's GDP was only the 8th in the world. Now it's the 2nd. I just want to say that my college roommate is from Shanghai and he is a Catholic. He bought a Bible from Taobao, as easily as purchasing any daily item online.
Moreover, most of the people you saw wearing uniforms were actually security guards in residential areas or shopping malls, not police officers. Real police officers have the word "POLICE" in English on their uniforms.
In regards to your first paragraph... YES absolutely, that is correct...it was our experience, that we chose to do in our way, on our channel and through our eyes and discussion and we said as much through all of our videos....including this one. You are saying everything that we've already discussed in the video...the purpose was to address these topics..we said you can have bibles now BUT I can tell you of many people 30 years ago that were arrested from bringing in bibles to China...BUT we don't want to go to heavily into that and it is in the past...we never said that you couldn't bring in bibles now or purchase one? There was one in our hotel room!
The point of this video was to address some people's ASSUMPTIONS of China especially older generations...based on comments and questions we received about these topics...
Thank you for literally repeating...and writing out what we expressed in the video OURSELVES. Cheers
@@JennandLeon My earlier expression may not have been very clear; it wasn't intended to convey anger or hostility. The examples I gave were meant to illustrate the tremendous changes in China's development over the past thirty years. However, many descriptions by Western media today are often outdated or one-sided, and some are a mix of truth and falsehood, which is the most worrying. If China were as bad as portrayed by some Western media, it would not have been possible for it to become the world's second-largest economy, nor would there be numerous Western brand stores lining the streets. You are welcome to visit China again whenever you have the chance, and explore more cities.
第一段真是不可思议，把市中心某区域说成 nothing，却希望以此代表一切，代表所有
@@JennandLeonthere is a church in my village. I went there with my grandmother quite often 35 years ago when I was a kid. Of course, bibles were not forbidden at that time…
What you said about the "cage" of the window, Chinese people like this very much because it has two functions: 1. It is to prevent thieves from entering the house. A few decades ago, China's public security was not good, so Chinese people developed such a habit. 2. It is to prevent children from falling high-rise windows. As for firefighting, you don't have to worry. Such windows can be opened from the inside, and if there is a fire, you can open them from the inside.
As for what you said about cute ducks being made into food or something, those ducks are the reserve animal husbandry of the hotel. I think you may have gone to the back door of the hotel, which is specially used to reserve some ingredients for the kitchen. Chinese people have high requirements for the freshness of ingredients, and frozen ingredients must not be the best taste. But maybe you can't accept it if you don't cook by yourself often?
I'm a Hong Konger. Sometimes when I talked about the truth of China - my mother country - I was being asked " Are you paid by the CCP? 😆
关于台湾问题，这是上世纪中国内战所造成的产物，准确来说是中国上一个政府内战败退到台湾，但是那片土地也就是台湾是属于中国的，现在中国有两个政府，中华人民共和国政府和中华民国政府，双方互不承认治权，主权重叠，尊重一个中国，这也是两个政府所达成的92共识，而现在台湾民进党选举上台后，否认92共识，推崇台湾独立，是分裂国土的行为，台湾最大的两个在野党也反对台湾独立，所以关于台湾问题，这本质是中国内政，希望你了解这段历史。
If everything is viewed with prejudice, then there is not possible to explore the World and find out the truth. We have been taught since childhood to view things and give judgement objectively and with critical thinking, but these have been contaminated by politicians.
16:30 Being Muslim in China is not just OK but have some privileges such as halal dining hall in almost every public universities with subsidied beef and lamb. Also long after China forbid earth inhumation the Muslims are allowed to have their own graveyard.
It's not easy to understand why a secular communism country would grand privilege to regious believers. It's very easy to believe they are being opressed.
It's hard to explain it on TH-cam comment section. I wish you have an open mind to find out yourself on your next trip.
One thing can be sure is that your media lied, big time.
不仅穆斯林，少数民族都有特权，升学就业买房生育就医全都有优待
The communism content was and still is misinterpreted by the West concerning religion. It is only recited partially, only the last part is picked which fits the West narrative: ”Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.” So when there is disparity, people turns to religion for hope. So a communist do to want to be oppressed, and wants to think rational if possible.
You are lying. And your face is communis😂😅
I have lived in China for 30 years. I experienced the covid era and the word locked down is inappropriate. We were allowed to go shopping etc. I was very impressed how these was a procedure in place and we had no problems with it.
There were procedures in place
Thank you for sharing your experience. It was quite different for other people however. And it was quite a different experience in many different countries around the world too. Thank you for watching.
Thank you for telling them the truth
what could the government have done, yes the US government decided to invade a solvent country, call Iraq, and kill over a million civilians in that country, and before that that was Afganistan, and before that Panama, Granada, Trinidad, Vietnam, Yugoslavia, the list just go on and on and on, You should ask what the government did instead
The way you interpret things shows me you are so full of suspicions and defensive as if you are afraid that what you've seen had been staged and set-up just to deceive you.
We are entertaining any and all possibilities
Awesome video, thanks for sharing your ideas - found it really interesting! I also love the positive attitude and how you guys always stay open minded and respectful, for any country you to travel to.
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching. We just sat down and did it with just a few questions to keep us on track. We appreciate the encouragement.
I dont see China is any different than Canada or the U.S.. I personally feel that China is different but that difference makes China a better country than say Canada or the U.S. There were almost 2 million people died of Covid in the U.S. and about 10K in a country that has 4 to 5 times the population. There are gated residential communities so is China. China is safest country to visit thanks for the cameras installed all over the place. China’s public infrastructure building so much more advanced, affordable and convenient. Chinese cities have so much things to do, so many places to see, and so many different types of cuisines to eat. Unlike Canada, you would never get bored. By the way the lockdown in China has saved so many lives. There so many anti-China elements and forces who purposely label people as paid by CPC communist Party of China (not CCP) because they are spreading lies and disinformation about China and Chinese people. I am so glad that you guys went to China and see what is really going on in China in person. 90% information about China spread by the Western mainstream are distorted and negative. You can get a ten year visa from Canada and the U.S.
Yes and definitely and vice versa as well. Media manipulation in all fronts is a serious issue. However this is why WE choose to travel to learn and see the bits and places of the world that we can...
29:59 It's never easy or possible to keep people confined to their homes with merely hardware equipment or with police force. After all polices are residents themselves. It is only when vast majority of people have a consensus of the necessity to do so. Look at the history, Chinese people have made constant rebellions. But also We can reach consensus and make sacrifices to a degree that outsiders never could understand. This is how we saved millions during the pandemic.
Most of those they saw were security guards only not even policemen.
Yes, that's possible or traffic police etc.
And protests from Chinese citizens ended the COVID-lockdowns.
I haven't visited mainland China but I have been to Taipei, Taiwan for Three weeks many years ago. I loved every minute of it. I'd love to go to Shanghai your videos and others have definitely made me think seriously about it.
Yes we love Taiwan. It is quite different however in it's own ways! It's absolutely worth exploring. The country is vast with so much to see.
Shanghai is newer and more like a future city.
China is good.but,Please China not to use force to resolve Taiwan
@@奇奇蒂蒂貓貓 我们也希望不要打，但是台湾本就是中国内战还没结束的产物，如果台湾不愿意和平统一，那么只剩下武力统一了。
Well said! @CNTikTok
I have gained a better understanding of China's development history. China is not as bad as the media's propaganda for certain political purposes
30 years ago, there were over 1 billion impoverished people in China, and the education level of the elderly was very low. Rapid development has also led to some people's cultural literacy not keeping up with society, with many bad habits and areas that need improvement, such as spitting everywhere, smoking in public places, and the problems you encounter in videos. 30 years ago, many thieves would infiltrate houses, and things resembling cages were called anti-theft windows. Nowadays, for the safety of their children, some parents still use them, even if there are small windows that can be opened. I believe this will indeed affect fire safety to a certain extent. When I returned there, I found that the use of anti-theft windows was decreasing due to the improvement of social security and the popularization of fire safety knowledge
China is still a developing country, and there is still a significant gap compared to developed countries
Have a pleasant journey. I like your videos
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences and being understanding towards the conversations we are having here and what we are trying to do. At the end of the day many people are unaware or misinformed on 'all sides of the fence' in regards to media and hype. This is why we travel. Not to be judged or to exploit but to understand.
Thank you for the encouragement and support we appreciate it!
1) In terms of per capita, China has less surveillance cameras than most European countries.
2) In many provinces in China, particularly for those older buildings, bars or grilles must be installed on all ground floor windows.
3) All modern apartments blocks are strictly no entry except for residents and their visitors. This is the same anywhere in the world. And the same goes with gated communities.
4) The police are present and visible in any city in China, and so they should.
5) Western media are untrustworthy, which is a given nowadays!
Do hope that you two will return to China soon and for a proper visit. 👍
And what you said is that you are not allowed to leave home? First of all, those at the door are all security guards, not police. They are originally recruited by the property management... Chinese cities are formed by communities. Of course, they are not open to the public. In that case, safety is very problematic and the personnel are messy. Moreover, our police are fundamentally different from your police. Our police represent a sense of security here, not control. On the contrary, citizens will first seek help from the police when they encounter anything, and we will feel more at ease with more policemen. This is also the reason why Chinese women dare to go shopping alone at three or four o'clock at night, because there are police patrols not far away.
我想说明你们遇到的一个问题，就是关于你们看到有人杀死一直鸭子（或是一直鹅）这在中国非常常见，也许你们觉得这很残忍，但是在中国大多数餐馆和菜市场都主要提供新鲜肉类为主也就是当天宰杀的冰冻肉类很少，因为我们更喜欢新鲜的肉类，因为它对口感健康都比冻肉要好得多！如果你是素食主义者这无疑对你们是一种冲击，但是如果你是肉食者我觉得这没必要大惊小怪，我希望有一天你们有时间去看看中国的传统菜市场，里面的猪肉牛肉鱼肉全是活杀的，比如我们每次去买鸡买鱼都会自己从鱼缸和笼子里挑选自己满意的活物然后交给摊主现杀，这很平常并不是什么不可思议的事，我觉得您还需要更多的时间适应中国
China China China, so advanced and Beautiful, Go Go Go
Always remember rumours, lies n propaganda r carried by haters, spread by fools n accepted by idiots
I believe the reasons for this can be traced back to history and culture. In ancient China, buildings often had four surrounding walls, and modern architecture has continued this design. We have the concept of "residential communities," which are maintained and serviced by private property management companies. Little different from the West, we add walls and clearly define these areas for the residents, thus preventing visits from strangers. Most Western communities are open, although there are some gated communities, but these are relatively rare. To be honest, I prefer no fence. When I was studying in Canada, I saw some gated communities, but most were open. Window grilles were installed on lower-level homes due to a high incidence of theft in the past. With societal growth and development, new houses rarely have these installations now, but they indeed pose a significant fire hazard.
Regarding surveillance cameras, after living in Canada for a long time and then returning to China, I felt uncomfortable (there weren't that many before I left), feeling like I was being watched, which was quite unpleasant. Later, I realized that no one is constantly monitoring you. These cameras are primarily for preserving evidence and tracking the routes of criminals. As long as you're not a criminal, there's no need to worry. Most of the cameras are traffic cameras because the population is so large that there aren't enough traffic police (who are different from regular police) to manage all the vehicles. In China, a driver's license comes with 12 points per year. If you violate traffic laws, the cameras will capture it, and points will be deducted along with a fine. They also help quickly determine the cause of traffic accidents. Once your 12 points are deducted, you need to retake lessons and reapply for your license. Most of the cameras are traffic cameras. There are also cameras in tourist areas. In the densely populated China, tourist spots are usually crowded during holidays, which can lead to conflicts. These cameras serve as tools for evidence protection, helping tourist spots avoid some liabilities in case of incidents. Of course, police can legally request to view certain footage.
What is truly frightening is the malicious portrayal by Western media, which often depicts China in a terrifying light. I have seen many TH-camrs come to China and find it very different from what they were led to believe. Although I am not Muslim, I grew up in a Muslim province where most restaurants and holidays are Muslim-related. I had never heard of minority oppression in China until I went to Canada. Later, I realized it was all malicious propaganda from the West. My classmates and teachers would cautiously ask me about Muslim issues, which I found amusing.
When I was younger, I was furious about not being able to use Google or TH-cam. But later, I found out that it was because Google and other companies refused to store Chinese users' data within China's territory. In times of peace, this might not matter, but what if something happened? Western media loudly criticized that we can't use these social media platforms, but TikTok is being forced to sell. Isn't this a double standard?
Thank you for coming to China. I hope next time you visit, you get a visa, stay longer, and see different landscapes, experience different cultures, and a different society. Each province and each city in China is like a different world, where you can experience unique cultures and diverse cuisines. Before coming to China, you can check out this video. Personally, I think it offers quite practical information. （NOT ADS！！）th-cam.com/video/P-vLVUcdLxI/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for the thoughtful comment and sharing your experiences. It is helpful and the kind of dialogue we are hoping to encourage through this video. We all should be open to learn and experience and figure things out for ourselves along the way. However distrusting everything inevitably leads to believing nothing.. we appreciate you!
I think the guy asks you whether you are Muslim cause Leon look like person from middle east and avoid offering you something that is strictly prohibited from Muslim ！
Interesting that you say that. Quite a few people have mentioned that in that past. He is British with Greek cypriot ancestry! So not at all from the middle east. They asked us also because it was a hallal restaurant!
fun fact is Greece especially Cyprus people could be mixed some middle east or Turkish nationality，so maybe that is why he looks like a Turkish in my opinion😂
I want to tell you a a good news that People with Ailan passports can now enter China without a visa for 15 days, but I have another bad news to tell you that Canadian passports are not yet available
加拿大政府领导人愿意做美国的一只狗，所以在反华上是冲在最前面的，在西方媒体的洗脑下，加拿大充满对中国的偏见及莫名其妙的种族仇恨。
你在视频里讨论的铁窗户和杀鹅的问题都是毫无意义的问题 去了中国一次讨论这种毫无意义的问题我不知道为什么 第一，你所说的铁窗户只不过是中国老居民楼为了防盗罢了，现在建的小区百分之百没有这种了，这也涉及到了另一个问题，中国发展太快了，30年的时间足够让很多东西淘汰，你们外国人体验不到，所以你不懂中国，你们没有这样的发展速度。 毫无意义 总结一句话就是老小区装了防盗网，有什么讨论的呢？ 还有鸭子，只是为了新鲜，还有总不能在店里养吧，你们又嫌味道大，不养你们可能又会说中国的肉不新鲜，你们这些外国人啊！

21:00 Even though I am a meat-eater, I think I can totally understand your feeling regarding killing the goose. I personally don't think it is appropriate to show the bloody part in public. They can pretty much do it in a kitchen. However, there is one thing I need to address. Chinese people and Chinese cuisines take the freshness of ingredients very seriously. If you order sea foods or poultry, a lot of the restaurants will escort you to the place they raise the fishes, lobsters or chickens, and you choose whichever you like the most. They will prepare it in front of you ( if you are willing to be there), then hand them over to the chef to cook. And this will be a very regular thing if you visit wet markets in China. From Chinese point of view, this is quite similar to how western chefs prepare lobsters in front of eaters, or Japanese chefs prepare live fish sashimi.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, we appreciate it. Yes that makes sense! And we been to many wet markets throughout our travels where you expect to see that type of thing. Yes it is similar to choosing your own lobster too! Thanks for sharing and happy eating!
Not to forget China has always been an agriculture based country. Farming what they eat in their backyard is just normal.
Greetings from Singapore 😊
Actually, in Shanghai,local law
Kill the animal in public is forbidden so it is personal
The fact is that : my grandparents were Christian in Guangzhou. After early of 1980s, we could have worship gathering in the church. And of course, we had Bible at that time.
Electric scooters ramping the pedestrian road is indeed a big problem here as mentioned by a lot of expats as their top "dislikes" about living in china.
There's no easy fix. A lot of delivery workers are living on clocks. When the city was planned the planner never saw this coming so there's no enough roads for scooters. There's no easy fix, not even the government forbids it. People need to make a living, this supersedes pedestrian rules.
China is changing rapidly. I believe in five oe ten years there will be a solution.
Maybe drones will overtake the delivery system in the future.
I disagree at 34:38, filming conversation between tourists and locals ACTUALLY brings out the beauty of people-to-people exchange.
This is what president Xi Jinping said that more people-to-people exchange will make friendships flourish - that is the way to see the REAL CHINA !
Chinese people are always friendly.
Yes I agree but we are friendly and talk to people in general, more so when we are t filming. I think the idea is to be social. Many people do not talk or say hello to others or stop to take the time. We do!
The great thing about traveling is to get out of the bubble and see the world as it as with your own eyes. You will learn to have an open mind, to respect and to understand. Only then can you break the barrier, the framing, the narrative, the imprints and bias, and be truly free. ❤
For high-rise residences,escaping from fire exits and fire stars is safer than from the windows.
The goose incident is very rare, I never saw things like that over 24 years as I grew up in China.
Yes we thought so too but it definitely was an interesting experience!
@JennandLeon Maybe some lost geeses
or duck?? Stress up hidding there....
The cages outside of windows are something from past. China is a safe country today. But it wasn't this way thirty years ago when burglars did climb up through the window. Having a cage outside the window seemed to be a convenient solution so people all did it. Funny thing is, if your neighbor downbelow install one, at the same time it makes his home safer it makes your home more dangerous because his cage can be a ladder for the thief. So like a military build up everyone end up having one. Besides it provide some usefulness like you can put plants on the edge or hang clothes without fearing the wind. Cloth dryers are not used in China.
As i said it is a thing of the past and you happened to visit outskirt of Shanghai where a lot of old buildings were. New compounds don't have these cages except maybe first floor.
Yes it does constitute a fire safety hazard and the city is graduately removing it. But contrary to what you may believe. In situations like this. It is not easy for the government to command Chinese people to turn in private property from home. It has to be a concensus first.
As a Chinese, I agree with that cuz my grandparents installed this kind of cages 20years ago? To avoiding thieves at that time. Nowadays, no new buildings will have this cage anymore cuz we r so safe to live here. U can just leave ur phone outside half day, and no one wanna or dare to steal it.
I am from california, the T-nobile services works fine with google, etc. No need for VPN
Thanks for sharing
R U guys still in Shanghai? As a local, I would like to tour you guys some churches in Shanghai
When I was in Beijing, I search on maps, the maps showed me all the churches in the area. I chose the closest one to go. China is big. You can't find everything just by your legs.
No we are no longer in China however we do plan a return trip soon. That would be great when we return!
@@JennandLeon Actually there is a big mosque in Shanghai and every Friday, thousands of muslims go there to pray and it's so crowd and even spread to the main street outside
Actually Muslim in or ethnic minority in China got a lot more respect treatment such as first priority acceptance admitting to university , when there had one child policy in China all Muslim and ethic people got exception of by law. Hope to see you in city of Dali of Yunnan province.
The cage is to keep the child out of danger
Yes but can also make it difficult to escape if there is a fire!
I think they are better than Chinese because they live in a so called" democracy ".

Omg it’s 2024 you guys are still talking about the pandemic and the paranoia! Have y’all not lived the past 4 years???
Hmm no we are talking about barred windows and gated / secured communities. Do you have anything of value to contribute to the conversation…?
@@JennandLeon It's called a gated community, it's for the safety of the residents there. The barred windows are there to prevent thieves. You spent 24 hours in the outskirts of Shanghai and now you think you are somehow experts in China. Please, have some self-awareness. You interpret things in saw without trying to find out the truth. The question is do you have anything of value to contribute?
I like the western part of China. Yunnan, Sichuan, Tibet,Qinghai, Xinjiang, The landscapes are magnificent. Meri Snow Mountain hiking trail in Yunnan and Minya Konka hiking trail in Sichuan are pretty good.
Awesome thanks for the suggestions and recommendations!
And there's also Harbin! Their ice city is quite the experience during the winter months.
We accept most religious practices except those controlled or funded by the U.S. government
But individual freedom cannot override public order, and what kind of freedom can there be if one's life and property cannot be guaranteed
I would rather follow the Thai/Canadian couple(Flora&Note) British couple(Sun kissedBucket) British family(The Hutchinson)who are all still in China.. Period!
You’d be surprised who you THINK is in China right now and actually is not..

@@SeeTheRealWorld749 me too , I watch a lot of them too , almost all of them are unbiased , respectful , friendly , not like this one .
BBC can definitely be a biased media network and many of us state as much when we discuss british news and politics...that's why it takes discernment and doing research to know what is truth and what isn't but that is part of the freedom of speech and press and human rights which are the foundations of democracy....
In response.. is there not a forced lens in which Chinese citizens view, see and hear about the world....a firewall in fact?
Sorry but are you saying we are unfriendly, biased and disrespectful?? Did you watch our full video??
It's shameful that you will get asked if you are paid by the CPC when you're talking about some positive things about China.
Agreed

@@JennandLeon VPN is not banned in China by law. The government just don't encourage you to have it. All joint-ventures in China use VPN and a big chunk of Chinese people use too.
Actually about italy,, yes not safe from my family holiday experience, my cousin got pickpocket, and relatively dirty compare to china (of course only go city and tourist site)
Sorry that your family experienced that. Yes, areas of Italy can be quite dirty! But we don't mind that at all. Italy is actually one of Jenn's favourite countries!

非常喜欢你们客观的评价中国，也希望通过你们的视频让更多外国友人了解中国👍
Thanks for sharing! Very interesting tourism experience, and I appreciate the fact that you are trying your best to be objective and open minded in your comments. I had a similar “duck killing”experience. When I was little I went to my hometown, a countryside village in China that was very underdeveloped, with my extended family. I saw my grandpa killing a duck by breaking its neck and draining the blood and that traumatized me (I already made friend with it several days before it happened). Growing up in downtown Beijing I have never seen such direct presentation of animal death my whole life, and I never liked it. However, there is a historical background to this. People from my grandparents’ generation were still starving and they were only able to eat meat maybe once a year. Livestocks were not seen as pets in anyways when people were literally starving to death; they were just food, period. Even nowadays in many less developed countryside areas of China, people still buy livestocks and kill them by themselves before cooking. Killing livestocks is part of their daily routine, and they don’t mind kids seeing it just like you wouldn’t prevent your kids from seeing you cutting meat. We, as people who grow up in big cities, enjoy the privileges of industrialized food chain and don’t have to do the dirty work ourselves, so we tend to be negatively shocked to see these killings; but it is in fact a very normal daily routine for any human in the pre-industrialization era, and still for a lot of people these days. Just want to give you a little insight regarding this incident, and wish you enjoy your future trips! Btw to those who keep denying in the comment section that many people were confined in their apartments during Covid lockdown, you should stop defending every action the government took. The government is not the country, although some propaganda tries to blur the difference. Criticizing your government helps it to become better, defending its every action does the opposite. Any patriots should be open in discussing the wrongdoings of their government (although I can testify that these window cages are simply for theft prevention; newer buildings do not have those anymore)
Is it me, I have been watching this two now for 12 minutes, they have not said anything!
Feel free to stop watching at any time...you just have to ...stop...watching :)

Every country has its own culture and if you respect it then you will be welcomed by the locals. But if you use your own country as a standard to scrutinize it from above and make lengthy judgments about whether it conforms to your beliefs, then you can look elsewhere.There is an old Chinese saying that when in Rome, do as the Romans do. It is rude to go to someone else's place and complain that your beliefs are not followed there.If you come to China next time, I hope you will go there just to enjoy it and not to scrutinize it
Hi Jenn snd Leon, thanks for sharing your visit in China and your experience. It is a nice sample. Being a country of 1.4 billion people, thousand years of history and over sixty ethnic groups with different cultures in a vast continent. It is now open to the world travellors with different short term visa on landing. Good to know that you will be returning to China.
Looking forward to more videos.
on bars over the windows, they are most common in the suburban area in China, where theft was more common in the past. The residents in these areas tend to be migrant workers... and, they are less bettered off.... It definitely shows how "safe" of the area.
21:00 When I was young, fourty years ago we used to buy live chicken from market and kill it by ourselves. I don't remember seeing people do so in public after mid 90's especially in the city where it is seen as a public hygiene issue but not animal right.
The only reason you saw it was because the place you stayed was urbanized only recently. A lot of rural habits remained.
People have started to be aware of animal right here in China. Anything that can breathe air and make sound will be delt in back kitchen. But this does not happen everywhere.
Go visit some of the ancient towns in China as well as some of the natural wonders like the avatar mountains, yellow mountain, etc.
Yes we are excited to explore further
中国不是没有民主的，不然从邓小平，江泽民，胡锦涛，习近平都是不同的派系，只是中国社会分工比较明确，你学政治的你就可以去从政从中去竞争得到你想要的荣耀，普通民众为自己生活努力就可以了，国家从政的人员她们会适当的时候做出她们正确合适的决定，因为她们内部也有竞争强者最终掌权，而一些福利政策也是渐进式的跟西方民众上街游行要求国家给与各种福利不同，中国政府会再合适的实际开放合适的人民福利，比如在我小时候是没有医保的，现在你每年交300块人民币你就可以享受住院医保可以报销70%，未来经济增长补贴比例也还会可能会上升，中国的政策是渐进式的，跟西方超发货币，顺应民意有本质上的区别，而中国渐进式的政策结果就是现在国家物价保持稳定，而西方透支了福利现在才会导致高额的通货膨胀，西方国家各种福利都是表面的，实际最终人民还是要从日常其他开支上去支付这些福利应该支付的费用，只是政府不会告诉你而已。
In fact, it is rare to see police officers in China. The uniformed personnel you generally see on the streets are usually security guards, traffic coordinators, and auxiliary police. They are not police officers. Most of the surveillance cameras on the streets are for monitoring traffic violations. These cameras are used to capture instances of speeding, illegal lane changes, honking, etc. Security checks in subways and high-speed trains are implemented to prevent bad actors from carrying knives, flammable, or explosive materials onto trains, ensuring the safety of passengers. In the end, I can only say that we are all ordinary people; no one is really paying attention to what we are doing. All these measures are in place to prevent bad things from happening, and I think that's a good thing.
Autumn around mid of Oct. is good time for visiting . As summer is too hot in China
I’m sure the autumn leaves are beautiful too!
huge population of muslims throughout China. Many times, they used to get special favor for education and employment. not sure if it is still a common practice now
Watch Unseen China, Little Chinese Everywhere and Katheryns Journey to the East...those are 2 of the best videos on China, however there are many more. I myself have been there 3 times and stayed there once for 9 months and just recently 2 months. I can't say enough about the country...
Kudos to you for spreading the truth about China! Thank you!
My English is not very good so I’ll explain it in Chinese:据我所知，在美国人民是没有屠宰权的，比如猪、鸡、鸭都必须是在屠宰场宰杀的，所以美国人可能很少看到宰杀动物的画面；而在中国法律里，屠宰权是在人民手中的，每个人都可以在家中宰杀牲畜。特别是20年前30年前，在家中宰杀鸡、鸭是非常平常的事。不过现在，越来越多的人不会自己动手，而选择去菜市场由卖家宰杀，或者是去超直接购买，但是年纪大的老年人可能还是会自己动手。据我了解，穆斯林有现场宰杀的传统，你们在路上看到一些穆斯林餐厅门口甚至会挂着全羊的尸体 通常这是为了表现他们的羊肉很新鲜。
我是中国人，非常欢迎你们下次能来中国多玩几天！关于那只鹅，我想做一些解释，首先，我从未在任何中国城市商业区内见过养殖鹅或鸡的，感到非常意外。我从未见过谋杀动物，在任何场合。再次，你们看到的那个类似笼子的东西，有可能是一个已经破损未使用的某种设施，被某个饭店临时放了一只鹅，恰巧被你们看见，太巧了。关于窗户上的栏杆，在中国被称为防盗窗，容易出现在低端小区，或者用于安置农村居民的安置房里。你们当时在上海的郊区，属于刚纳入城市的农村地区。农村居民，思想较为保守，经济状况较差，还在遵循旧有的习惯安装防盗窗。
超市杀鱼不是很常见。。。。
中国不全是你们旅行感受的那样，也不是外界宣传那样。应该以公平公正的眼光去看待中国才是正确的。我们不一样被抹黑，也不希望被捧杀，因为的确有很多需要改进的地方。总之中国加油❤
24:00 For the goose thing, i think it's mainly because you were living in a hotel in the countryside of shanghai and the area (Zhuqiao town) has just been urbanized in the recent 10 years. Usually in the city, people won't put their livestock in the public area, because even it won't be stolen, it is still a big hygiene issue. But in the countryside, i think farmers do have the habit to set up a livestock shack outside their house and kill them right outside thr shack when need to eat... So I think people just keep the old countryside habit in an urbanized area. And for the livestock shack you saw, the whole thing actually looks like a platform for placing the outdoor unit of the air conditioning (cause you don't want to place your AC on the ground, because it will be flooded by the rain) or for other use but not fully finished. Then I guess employee in the nearby restaurant found this place and think it is good spot to set up a livestock shake... So he did like this... By the way, Chinese people do like fresh meat, so livestock killing used to happen in the wet market in the city. But after the bird flu pandemic happened like ten years ago, live stock selling is now usually forbidden in the city. So you won't see killing livestock in the wet market in public in the city. And about the tiny colorful stones placed on the livestock shake, i think it has nothing to do with the goose. It could be someone else who found it was a good place to dry his stones in the sun...

Bloggers subconsciously still take away prejudice, some of the things you see are oriented speculation, but guess wrong, it is recommended that you have a chance to take a longer period of time, you will like it.
too much regretted for not going earlier.
We actually visited in November last year! We waited to share this journey to hope to add it to our next visit but we saw everyone was going and sharing China so we decided to share it sooner.
Welcome to China. Experience and see China for yourself. A lot of those who hate China have never been to China and know little about China. China is an open, diversified and vibrant place. You should come visit again.
Yes it is. We are planning to return this fall!
"Are you paid by the ccp" questions. Hilarious. Every single time. Every western travelers who go to China have the same questions in the comments. Stop it already !! lol

你们好，欢迎你们再次来中国旅游，❤❤你视频里的说的那个窗户的金属网我可以给你解释一下，很多家庭有小孩，担心小孩掉下去了，一般都是家庭自己安装 或者物业要求安装的，尤其是楼层高的，这个不是政府行为。你说的很对，的确是有火灾安全隐患的。
在中国旅游，你不用担心你的信仰。那个清真餐厅的人问你们是不是穆斯林，可能觉得你老公长的像回族或者穆斯林的民族，没有别的意思， 不用担心。只是简单的打招呼。我们经常这样问候别人的。不会因为你的信仰不同歧视你。不会让你你人身安全受到威胁。穆斯林都很善良的。西安有很多清真寺，欢迎你们来旅游。中国是个很包容的国家，人民很善良。也很安全。都很乐意去帮助你们的。你们说的监控不用担心 ，只有在你被伤害或者丢了物品了，才会调监控来找丢失物品的线索。另外可以震慑犯罪行为。所以你在中国的马街道上看不到抢劫，偷窃。祝你们旅行愉快🎉🎉
你可以用视频记录你在中国的点点滴滴，你可以参考别的youtube 博主在中国的旅行。不用担心。中国人很善良的。
The caged windows were common in the past like 20 years ago, especially in some areas where the security was not that good. Back in days there were not many cameras and some break-in did happen, that's why people used to install those kinds of cages to prevent theives from climing into homes. I don't see people installing those any more.
通过大量媒体告诉一个族群不要去某个地方，其实是一种控制思想自由
So did you regret it?
No!
Haha I would imagine the CPC - if they had a say - would never need to hire you.
Right 😆
There are many people in China. It is nonsense to say that China monitors everyone. China does not have so many manpower to do this kind of thing. Cameras are used for crime prevention and crime evidence collection. If you observe carefully, you will find the traffic flow and The more people flow in a place, the more cameras there are
In fact, most of what you see are security guards, some are from private companies, and some are hired by the government for scenic spots. The police will be more formally dressed and better equipped (more than 95% of the police do not carry guns)
In fact, the eyes of local people are more out of curiosity, especially older people. They have no ill intentions and just want to chat with you or take photos (after all, it is not common to see foreigners who speak different languages).
Another thing to say is that Chinese people are very warm and hospitable. This is the tradition of Confucian culture. Most people are happy to talk to you. Even if you don't understand the language, there's no problem using translation software. Of course, the same goes for police officers or security guards. For Chinese people, the police are one of the most trustworthy people. The professions that Chinese people appreciate most are the military and the police. You can ask them for help if you have any questions.
As for the iron railings outside the house, they are to prevent theft and prevent children from falling. 20 or 30 years ago, China was relatively poor and theft often occurred, so these anti-theft nets appeared. Until now, many Chinese people like to install anti-theft nets. Although there are almost no thefts now, they can also prevent children from falling. These anti-theft nets can be opened from the inside and pose no fire hazard.
There is also the issue of gated communities. Of course, modern communities generally do not allow strangers to enter. At the door is a security guard hired by the community property. This is for the safety of the community and the environment. Modern communities have many recreational facilities. Strangers are not allowed to use them. Visitors need to register, and security staff will notify the owner to obtain permission before entering. Modern communities in China all follow this model, while old communities are more open.

Although there is almost no theft in China now, Chinese people still like to install anti-theft fences to prevent children from falling from high altitudes. These anti-theft poles can be opened from the inside and are not completely closed. In the event of a fire, the owner can open them from the inside.

1. China is an almost cashless society, with 99% of Chinese people using mobile phones to pay even for small shops. All you need to do is open ALIPAY, or get a mobile SIM card in China. You will find all the food, housing, transportation, shopping, all done with a mobile phone. The subway does not actually need to buy a ticket, and you can directly swipe a ticket on ALIPAY. China should be the most convenient country in the world for mobile payment.
2, China is now open to many countries 144-hour visa-free, travel is very convenient. The key is that the price in China is only one-sixth of that in Europe and the United States and other countries, very cheap, come to China and have a look. The people are very friendly, the city is clean and the food is delicious.
Big dawg, I haven't used cash living in America for almost a decade. We also use payment services on our phones lol, you know cash app and venmo?

I don't think people could not bring a bible into China three decades ago, nor only small group of religious people would be allowed to practice, my homecity is heavily Buddhaism influenced, but also got few churches in it, often we can see lots of Christians go to churches on weekend, same happens to northwestern or southwestern regions that have millions of Muslims as they practice.
