We set out to create a movement of informing the global youth, and of connecting young people’s perspectives around the world by sharing on the latest news and cultural trends from Asia. Thanks to our growing community of subscribers (Asian Bosses) that believe in this vision, we are one step closer to seeing that vision fulfilled. Our coverage for different regions in Asia is set to expand, as you can see from the content in this video.

We are currently working on a new video with our volunteer reporter from India, so stay tuned. Thanks for watching, everybody! --Steve
Asian Boss Is it possible for you guys to do a video on how the Chinese think of Vietnam? Being Vietnamese American, I have always been curious as to what mainland Chinese thinks of the Vietnamese, the country, and its government.
I know what an interesting video would be, What Chinese/Japaneses/South Koreans Think of Russia
+Asian Boss. Are you guys interested in expanding into Australia, New Zealand, Russia and Polynesia?
Asian Boss you should do a video on what Asian people think about Mexican immigrants and the ban on Muslims in America
Well, there is no Muslim ban in America... There were certain countries that were banned for a specific amount of time for being most likely to produce Islamic terrorist group members trying to enter the US. The countries that weren't banned have a major economic impact in the US that could throw our economy into chaos. Currently the immigration process is getting revamped to have a better screening process and also many predominantly Islamic countries weren't banned. Any illegals should be sent back to their country of origin.
1:08 "No such thing as close allies, only mutual benefits"
Smart man.
Well no, this is obvious.
fanboyspemdas wym?
Benefits between two nations is the condition for international cooperation dude, got it ?
"Mutual benefits"?? What could North Korea possibly offer China which China does not already have?
shield against US, check the map.
" No such thing as close allies, only mutual benefits"
That is an intelligent comment, and apparently a prevalent one for the Chinese people. I like their style!
The Russians threw our downed pilots in the Gulag during WW2 and basically treated them like the enemy. The Brits never did. Take a clue.
That's what we all think all the time.
True!
The guy with the yellow racksack knows what's up with the American Imperialists.
Japan should have stopped assaulting Korea and China.
As an American watching this, I felt that I wanted to keep having a conversation with each person shown in this video. They were all thoughtful and reasonable. I'll admit that I was expecting greater partisanship. I suppose that's a reflection on me!
Thanks for a great video!
Greetings
as a Chinese I believe that America and China would have good mutual benefits if we ally up and work together. That Imperial America narrative is only what being taught by the old red guards generation in which is pretty out of touch with how the world is and works today. Bear in mind people of that generation does not differentiate what is propaganda and facts while schools everywhere are centers of indoctrination for those which haven't know how to think. you also have schools teaching ur students that your flag is offensive for example which is rather idiotic i must say. that is one ungrateful way to handle liberty and freedom in a democracy. (i wont argue that our system is perfect but America is truly in a sorry state since the reign of Obama)
Irregardless of what they say, due to mutual interests considering the influence of both our nations and how small the world is, our people would definitely learn to work together or develop a death wish to negate each other out in which I do not think that we are that dumb.
America just need to learn to do away with political correctness and recognize problems as it is with taking no short cut and detours in formulating solutions.
Shadow mode, as an American, (and a person on the conservative side of things) your response here seemed very well thought out and aware of what is going on in America. I myself, do not understand the thought process of my own fellow citizens who disrespect our flag and our nation. It's crazy! We have a wonderful place to live here, and so many people, especially younger folks, seem to think America is a bad place. They are truly ignorant, and actually believe what they "learn" in liberal schools. It's a sad thing for me, being of a more mature aged person, and what you might call a patriot.
I was pleasantly surprised by the comments of the Chinese people interviewed in this video.
I think these are the mainstream thoughts people received from Chinese Media. So just follow some Chinese Media, that is it.
spb Unfortunately most Americans aren't that bright when it comes to international policies/affairs.They're made sure to not know anything about those, just to make sure that there is no protest when America destroys the world.
there is my university，“beijing university of technology “ 北京工业大学
The people interviewed on this video are definetely more inteligent than most westerners that I know.
Os br são um exemplo
+Leandro Ribeiro A socialist brazilian is in no position to judge Westerners. Worry about your own shithole country.
Yes, Chinese are very intelligent...that's why they have the most Nobel Prize winners and make the best quality products in the world...oh wait.
You got that right. Ask a typical college student and they couldn't even point to North Korea on a map
+Chairman Meow And yet all the wealthiest Asians make the pilgrimage to America for an education.
They need better translation, what the interviewees were saying were more insightful than the translations captured. However, better than nothing.
agreed
Really? Thats too bad, I found what they were saying to be very interesting.
many interesting and insightful points are lost after the translation
i think they tried their best for translation though.
SOOOOO TURE!
I get the feeling that it would be nice to have videos about China more often. As the most important Asian country that Western mainstream media tends to regard as an opponent, we hear far too little about them. And the language barrier is severe, too. I was glad to read those comments who said they learned something surprising about Chinese people. I, personally, think that what the people in the interviews said corresponds to rumours I might have heard whispering in the wind (I'm German btw). But it was an amazing feeling to take a glance through the courtain.
On the other hand, I was also sad to see that some Chinese got hurt by other comments. Can't we leave the tensions in other places? We are not governments, we are people, all of us here. The aim of this place is understanding each other. (Yes, a vain appeal, maybe. But it still needs to be made once in a while.)
There should be more internet comments like this.
Thump up for you!
So riiiiight!
Love from nanjing china!
Love from Nantong China!
you couldn't ask the average American walking down the street these questions. most of them couldn't even find North Korea on a map.
I'm not disagreeing but.. North Korea is very close to China, geopolitically-wise. If the situation was reversed we wouldn't have different results e.g. asking Chinese people to point Mexico out on a map. The Americans would do it easily, the Chinese.. not much.
Lara I think most chinese people can point out every semi large country on the map
Lara Americans cant even point Mexico on the map. Not even America..
@@1858431 but that's not true tho. like... even for hyperbole, you're really stretching
Lara Ribeiro no, we learn every major country’s geography from young. so 90% of chinese would be able to point t out
I find it quite insulting that so many comments mentioned that they are surprised at how 'informed', 'level-headed' or 'Educated' the Chinese are. What do they expect? That we are not?
To give the short answer, the US high school educational system has become complete shit. As a result of this most social studies classes cover the main US events of history (like the fear of communism in the 50s) without covering more recent events in other countries (like the political reforms in many countries) thus for some US citizens the history of other countries seems to stop about 50 or so years ago unless they take the time to learn it themselves.
The far left progressives have taken over more than 80% of the American educational system. There has been leftist indoctrination since the late 1950s.
Lots of retards here don't even know what North Korea is, nor do they care what it's about. So in that sense it actually is kinda refreshing to watch some people that are actually engaged into world-affairs and know some shit.
i mean what can they say that will not insult you? they say chinese are smart, you get offended, they say chinese are uneducated my guess is that you will still get offended.....
It's actually a complement.
As an American I found it fascinating to see the reply's of the Chinese people. The people I saw seemed level headed and well educated , the older gentleman seemed to nail it. The world needs to see more average citizens speaking like this , what a great series.
It's actually a bit more nuanced than that. Most people have a lot of opinions that don't exactly align with 中央 but they aren't prosecuted unless they attract a lot of attention. It's partly because China's a really large country and comms between the municipal level and the tip-top in the party aren't close, and partly because there's honestly too many people to lock up- you could probably toss half the country into a prison and too many fishes would still escape in the other half.
China now is by no means an open country, but its system isn't as totalitarian anymore, and thanks to recent economic development, a strong focus on education on all fronts (mainly on the sciences), and an excess of internet access both within and beyond the Chinese firewall etc. the Chinese people are developing mature opinions about their country, and other countries, at a very fast rate. You can probably accuse the Chinese of being strongly nationalistic, sometimes to the point of blindness, and you'd be right. But it's not quite the same level of sheeple-like compliance as you'd seem to imagine-instead it's an increased shift towards cosmopolitan thought, influenced by the party line at times, but not thoroughly under its control.
The China you believe in probably died with the Cultural Revolution, and I say to that, good riddance. Please don't think of today's China in the same way- that's true naivety.
Besides the fact we have been waiting for action from china and russia to help since 1960s. Should start finding an alternative production center besides china. Need to start looking elsewhere China is diehard set on killing off its economy and harm its own citizens for the benifit of trying to keep money flowing into itself... China is already trying to find another country to help it in production in Africa... Sickening
+John R. I used to live in China and people can say anything as long as it's not against the government or its policies. Chinese are a lot more free that you can imagine. Your comment show how naïve you are.
@ Bill Sorry to say that and don't get me wrong. As agerman i lived more than 5 years in China and now i living for several years in USA. But the first 3 month i already observed that the Chines are much higher educated than the Americans.
Americans has better behaviours but their problem is, they have to much religion in their mind. If they focus more on real education they cleary have the nose in front of all.
Realistic Clear mind depends on your place in the states. Travel around the mid west and north east is very religious. The south is less so. But most here stay ignorant on anything outside the states.
More Chinese videos! I love hearing them speak, such a beautiful and complex language
beenbeen Thanks!
It's also a hassle to learn :')
you have no idea what you're talking about chris. Chinese grammar is by far the simplest of all the big languages.
YSFmemories But it's rather hard to master it, for it's very flexible.
YSFmemories I'm pretty sure Chinese is one of the hardest language on our planet.
Chinese people are hard-working.
MC Gamer So are Japanese, Koreans, Taiwanese, And Tibetans
+HypAxis, it is like that everywhere. In the west, it is called networking.
HypAXis 你自己就高中努力就说你自己，别把我们其他那些高中以后也很努力的人概括到你这类人里面，我现在大学一样努力，你能代表中国人？
Yes. But they shouldn't discriminate. A wise man doesn't discriminate.
China is rich and powerful yet they try to take away the land and fishing grounds of poor Filipinos. Where's the integrity in that????????
amazing how much china has changed. I think a lot of Americans still view china like it was during the mao Zedong era or something. These people interviewed seemed very intelligent about the state of that country and whats going on over there.
Alex Friedman Mao's ear is good, literacy rate, life expectancy, industrial productive, fastest growing period in modern China's history.
张天元
Not even 1% of the Chinese population would agree with you on this, I think. We, especially the younger generations, have absolutely no interest in going back to Mao's era.
楼上，好坏是和之前比，毛时代肯定比被西方和日本侵略时代好一万倍。没有毛就没有现在的牛逼中国，知道吗？
wisdomleader2017
thats the revolution time . happened in past that lead to who u are today . no such things as go back to that era .
@@rednecksubei I am Chinese and I 100% disagree with you. Mao destroyed so much of our history during Cultural Revolution and caused a famine. China was practically in the same hell hole North Korea is currently in during the Mao Era.
I love Chinese people. That one girl seemed very educated, and the old guy was quite wise haha.
The girl who called North Korea a disaster was simply biased and disrespectful.
Wrathful2000. people like you and me who likes Chinese are rare.
The Chinese have a humble spirit. They give a peaceful vibe in which the many must be in harmony. They have a gentle and kind spirit in my eyes. I have heard only good things about China from those who have visited.
+Crashandburn999 Uhm, people mock ccp leaders all the time on weibo
Wrathful2000 chinese tourists dont seem humble
This is just what most Chinese people think. Those comments actually 'surprised' me that most of you thought that Chinese people are supposed to be 'stupid/brainwashed'. Most of you have never been to China, but have full of prejudice about China and Chinese people. wow, this is so ironic.
非常赞同！
Jun Lin If you haven't realized (like most Chinese people), most white, black, and Hispanic people despise Chinese people due to a racist mindset. If you want to earn their respect and keep their mouths shut, you gotta be better than them by at least 200%. This is coming from an American.
Well, if your government would get rid of the Great Firewall we would have more direct contact with Chinese people.
Miki Cerise you don't speak Mandarin, they don't speak English, how?
'The Great Firewall' is actually not the problem. Well, if you want more 'direct contact' with Chinese people, then you should go to China and talk with local people(just like the ''Asian Boss'). There is no 'direct contact' via the internet.
There is NO WAY you can get an answer like this if u asked AMERICAN !!!! Right now Chinese is more educated ...
I am a USA born & raised West Coast, Southern California citizen, in my mid 50's. I served in the United states Navy for 10 active years on 3 Warships. I have now been driving a truck for 24 plus years. All that being said, I have ALWAYS loved meeting people around the world.
Though China is unfortunately not one of the 23 countries I have visited, I KNOW I would love it there, and feel comfortable there to visit! I have met MANY "old school" Chinese folks in California in my travels, and have NEVER not liked them, nor felt uncomfortable with them. I can NOT say the same for 25% or more of my fellow US Citizens! Sad isn't it? :(
I have been to South Korea, to Inchon and Seoul. I LOVED these two cities! The people were amazingly warm and friendly!!!!!!! I have also been to Saudi Arabia, and it was THE "coldest" place I have ever visited, bar none! And I'm not talking about the weather! :O I even felt more comfortable in Communist Romania in 1988 compared to Saudi Arabia, seriously!!!!!! LOL
I REALLY wish US Citizens could get overseas more, and see the REAL world, instead of just our spoiled capitalistic and arrogant society! Maybe it would humble them as well huh? ;)
I think they might just be too shy or afraid to talk to you. I know several Saudi people, and they’re very warm and nice to me.
Is this your Facebook profile narrative?
+Haowei Yu Actually it seems that foreigners care too much about American politics. Like it or not America is the most important country in the world. Presidential elections are closely monitored throughout the globe and plenty of foreigners feel the need to arrogantly add in their two cents on American politics.

杨雯凯 what do you mean by soon?
Many Chinese become quite irrational when China gets criticized. Strong national pride and collectivist mindset both contribute to it. I see that as a flaw of my people, for I believe self criticism is quite necessary to be tolerated.
Don't ever think of it China blocked TH-cam along with many hot social medias

Not to sound like a jerk, but I was surprised by how insightful and educated on the issue they were. I was especially impressed with the female. They sounded level headed and clear minded. One would be hard pressed to find such insight in my area of the world.
yeah, western media likes to put a bad light on china, but if you ever speak to one, they can be quite smart
Joe H I don't disagree, and I say that as adv American myself
gracieafur 1 I guess I just have a hard time with the incredible progress they've made in the last 60 years. From the field to the university in one generation, and I mean that in the most polite terms. I won't discount their intelligence again, I appreciate Asian Boss for publishing these videos.
It is because we are shielded by our media. Anything we hear about other countries is typically terrible. Even a country like Japan that is well respected is rarely ever mentioned in our media. Americans like us in general are very sheltered from politics outside of the United States so we rarely get a true glimpse of those outside of our areas think like.
Joe H well said
"The Americans always intervene in other countries national interests, maybe they want to put a millitary base in North Korea" Yes that is it.
Of course they would like military bases there but the US also cares for basic human rights
The US already has bases in South Korea, they just want to neutralize the nuclear threat

@@rebia5542 Ask black people. It is unimaginable to be suddenly killed by police

China's people seem to think of North Korea like how the Americans think of Mexico.
Very similar manner
I'd lived in China for decades and I've been living in the US for another decades. I personally know all kinds of Chinese and American from different social classes, with different educational and professional background. My impression is, on average, Chinese is more, if not a lot more, well-informed and unbiased on serious issues, than average American. Reasons behind that? The propaganda and brain-washing complex of the US is much more well-developed and sophisticated than that of China. Living in China, young folks are clearly aware that the government tries to influence their ways of thinking, making them be more willing to see things from different angles and think independently. On the contrary, in the US, basically all the people are fed from day one when they are born, with a set of ideologies formulated and instilled by the capital-political super infrastructure of the country. I still believe that a great part of this set of ideologies is "correct" to certain extent, however, being right or wrong, it's a set of ideologies or believes that is not a derivative of people's independent thinking giving diversified information, instead, people are fed with these believes without the urge to scrutinize first.
I strongly encourage my American friends to visit other countries, visit China, to talk with different people with completely different background. The more you would be surprised about how other people think or behave not in line with the stereotypes in your mind, the more you would realize that how strong the capital-political-mass-media brain-washing complex of the US is.
agree.
Fred Saga so communist china will conquer capitalist America XXXXD.
Fred Saga I can't agree more with what u said
Agreed.
I think my American fellas just don't give a shit, LUL
I like how these Chinese people are so smart and straight thinking. plus they're not over proud and looking down at other countries like Most Americans, even though their country is so fricking powerful and resourceful
Ferry Ansony cause we really don't think China is as strong as many of others may think at all... China is defined as developing country...
Lin Peng but their resources and military is way above average countries, which usually measured as military power
Fayt Strife there is no saying white man is always the boss
They're like Americans, only Chinese, basically. ;p
Ferry Ansony They are actually proud and look down on others. Have you asked them how they feel about south east asians or a african american (black person)? You are so ignorant. Chinese people are extremely nationalistic.

There is a similar video done by American boss. The topic was : what Americans think of China and Chinese people.
And the first interviewee said the capital of China was Bangkok.
Janglal Goupiak Hahaha
I cannot thank you enough for these videos that broaden my understanding of how people across Asia view the world. Seeing real people talk about these issues instead of politicians makes me see how much we have in common. It's so much easier to respect, and more often than not, agree with, their views.
Bravo Tango I feel the same
that was kick ass! good work everyone involved!
Great interview with everyone. I loved the perspective this gave me! Keep up the good work Asian Boss!

It's amazing that the average Chinese person has a mature understanding of relations between states. The Western equivalent would surely be overlaid with nonsensical points and concerns.
I'm from France and I unfortunately think you're right..
That is because, if America goes in a makes a mess out of North Korea or North Korea implodes on its own, we have to clean it up, one way or another. It is our problem because we created North Korea.
I hope it won't..
And yeah, I agree with the fact that we created North Korea
They did the interview in Beijing,the capital city of China.and people there are more educated,so I dont think they are average Chinese
Ask American what do they think about North Korean. I bet that be funny to see. 😂😂😂
Heavon Song what's the meaning of
As an American I can tell you. What I think about North Korea is that they're increasingly dangerous to South Korea, Japan (our allies), US troops stationed there to help protect our allies, and now potentially the US itself. I think it's terrible how poor the country has to be in order to service the ruling class in NK. I wish China and Russia would understand that the US doesn't have much interest in NK (establishing bases, occupation, or war in general, etc) outside of their constant provocations and threats and, at times, violent acts against neighbors. When the North Koreans were in dire straights due to their famine causing their people to starve in high numbers, the US (under Bill Clinton) signed aid packages in exchange for North Korea to dismantle their nuclear programs. US held up its end of the bargain, but not NK. In fact, the US has given many aid packages over the years to North Korea with this same caveat and time and time again they've ignored it with threats to blow us up. This isn't American propaganda, this is from North Korean officials, from their state run news agencies, etc.
I also think North Korea does most of this only because they treat their people so poorly that if they don't put up this facade of being tough and mighty, they'll revolt against them. They've created this boogeyman in the US as a way to ensure they stay in power. I also think between Un and Trump, Un is more likely to do something brash in terms of opening fire. The US has been about as restrained as anyone could ask a country to be by consistently acting defensively. THAAD missile batteries are there to shoot down outgoing ICBM's from NK. Aegis equipped ships are there for the same purpose. China hates them because they COULD shoot down Chinese missiles as well but, unless China is planning on firing ICBM's at the US, South Korea, or Japan, there's nothing to worry about. And, as we've asked many times over the years, if China wouldn't mind stepping in SO WE DON'T HAVE TO BE ON THEIR DOORSTEP, (since that's their big concern) we'd be happy to loosen our military posture provided North Korea, the most belligerent threat in the region and in terms of a nuclear threat, the world, was reigned in and their nuclear abilities removed.
There's a good reason why the global community wants to stop the proliferation of nuclear weapons, we're not different in this regard. We don't want to see localized arms races that destabilize regions and put tens of millions of lives at risk. We, like Russia, already lived that arms race and the world saw how dangerous that was. For it to happen in a nation like North Korea, where they are CONSTANTLY threatening neighbors and the US with nuclear war, is unacceptable. I'd simply ask this. If North Korea was making these same threats against China, doing all the same things they're doing, testing nukes, and ICBM's and claiming they'll nuke all of China... would you just be like... "oh... it's not a big deal... who cares... they're not a real threat... we should just give them money whenever they want so they don't murder us..." I highly doubt it. I highly doubt any country would be so dismissive.
they will say north korea will conquer the world

Really great first hand reporting. Appreciate stuff like this.
I have lived in Texas all my life and this is good stuff!! This is my 6th vid of yours and all have been total eye openers. Most Americans don't have a clue about true Asian viewpoints and honestly, don't care to learn. Keep it up. I'm linking you to my more intelligent friends. Subbed you today.
Now do this in America and see how stupid the people's answers are.
Thats stupid
People act like Americans are dumb as shit. Though, that applies to some not all, like in this video. People assumed some Chinese were not informed but got a surprise by watching the video. Double standard.
Im sorry, but i know quite a lot americans from school and university, and their general knowledge is very bad.
Well.. I think the difference is that these are Chinese university students. Most American university students would have coherent arguments on the issue too, but much like the average American would be very uninformed, the average Chinese citizen would likely be the same.
+primaltare If you are referring to me, you should know that i am not living in China, but in Germany. And of course there are american students with a vast amount if knowledge, but their "general knowledge" is "generally" worse then European students. And for all you lazy thinkers out there, im not saying that Americans are "dumb" or anything related, but that they are "generally" more "ignorant", then European students.
Thank you for your work !!.. So usefull when we live in Europe because we don't have any idea about what's going on in that part of the world !!.. Thanks again .. 👏👏👏
dominique demortier thanks, make sure to tell all your friends about us :)
I found the interviewees well informed and quite pragmatic in their opinions. Will definitely subscribe to this channel.
I just wish that maybe someday we'll all love each other. I live in Honduras, a country that has two cities as the most dangerous in the world (not including war zones) and it really pains me to see that people talk about a possible wwIII. The people who "rule" the world will be happy until we all get killed while they seat comfortably in their "thrones". Their is a saying: ojo por ojo y todos nos quedamos ciegos. "Eye for eye and we all go blind." War is not a solution.
No we won't! There will be one guy with one eye at the end.
Chinese people seem very wise. I appreciate them.
I have to say Chinese in different places are different, Beijing has been a political center for hundreds of years, of course they care about geopolitics more than other people, we used to joke about how Beijing taxi driver know all the world news in the world. But people in shenzhen care more about technology, because that's the silicone Valley of China, all your drones, phones are made there. And people in Sichuan care more about food, because Sichuan chilly sauce, and hot pot. Different people have different answers to these questions
I agree! China is huge, and there's over 50 dialects.
wow it seems that you have a good knowledge of China!
James Smith this is not what he is saying, he is just saying that it Will be a fast generalisation for a country that big...
Simon William I am from chongqing near sichuan.I don't think we are foolish as you said.what beijing people can know.we also can know.
Just people in Beijing care about this issue?I come from Southwestern of china
A real channel with real information on races, keep it up bro.
it's nice to see an intelligent people for a change. helps you to truly understand how much better the education systems are in other countries.
Says the dullard using American TH-cam on an American PC connected to American consumer internet...
Those people who are interviewed are actually a little more intelligent than average.
Am I the only one who thinks the Chinese commoner seems to be the most realistic, and overall more well informed, among all nations portrayed in this channel so far? 😮
I'd love to know what Chinese people think about their government, by the way.
sheng liu I guess you can't read chinese? Because if you did and followed all the major online chinese news outlets like Sina, they ALWAYS make snide remarks about their government.
L Galicki ask me Pls
As long as the government is doing a great job on developing the nation, i don't really care whether it's democracy or not, after all, all forms of government serves for the only one purpose, which is to make this society thrive and prosperous
Most people simply don't give a crap about the government. Lot of western people picture the CCP as a massive brain washing machine, but honestly most Chinese don't give a crap about it. The communist ideology died off a long time ago, especially after the 2000s. Now China is really a capitalist country ran by a communist government. And people have a lot more freedom to express their opinions now than ten years ago. If you go on any Chinese social network, chances are you'll see people talking smack about commies, and no one gets their heads chopped off. Also Chinese netizens are really good at memeing the shit out of their political leaders lol
MoeAboveAll1212 But do commoners think the government helps somehow or do they see it as an obstacle that they would be better without? Does the government provide something to people?
Thank you for sharing your insight.
Even being Chinese myself, I still find this incredibly interesting-- the perspectives are so varying everywhere you look.
Thank you for this informative video! It's nice to see who your friends are in this situation where the folks nearby have an opinion and can share it with others without the fear of reprisal. Bless you for all your efforts!
I am always impressed by the knowledge and understanding of the Chinese people.First class video.
为什么没有采访到我？我说的肯定比他们都好！
Jason 我也这么想！可惜我不在北京😂😂
我也是这么想的哈哈
Jason 下面評論的都是一些垃圾。
他们回答也很好👍，很机智！
my thoughts exactly every time I see such interviews.
I am Chinese, and I am suprised by some comments that people thought I was stupid or I am supposed to be stupid? Okay, fine, you live your life, and I will live mine.
Cisneros 123 他們都腦殘。
万憬颐 嗯，闷声发大财~
Cisneros 123 Their logic: "Oh the Chinese government censores everything they don't like. The Chinese citizens must be clueless about everything." Little do they even know how much their own government censores a huge part of what they see on the internet. They just don't say it out loud lol.
Michelle Tiu Well, they just don't realize how controlling the media in their own countries are, and plus they don't know anything about China's fire wall. I mean, you can "lock "youself in a room with the door being open or ajar too. And freedom does not equal indulgence.
Yep
Thank you for this video, it was enlightening. PEACE
this work that you are doing is very important to inquiring minds. thank you so much. Don from st louis
im american, and i really enjoy these videos. i feel like more americans should learn about our asian brothers and sisters so we can close the gap on racism around the world.
chinese people talk so elegantly lol i though i was reading a textbook. is this formal language?
Kpop Shiz their original speaking is much better than the translation.
+Kpop Shiz It's how your regular educated folk talk over here. Can't say the same about others though...
Kpop Shiz it sounded just like everyday conversational chinese to me. I'm actually not sure if mandarin even has a "formal tongue".
When I compare these citizens to the average American on the street, the knowledge gap is incredible! These folks are all well versed enough on the subject to be actual commentators. Most Americans wouldn't even know what region of the world these countries re in, or who the players are - much less anything about them. But you can bet they know a Helluva lot about celebrities and sports figures! :-(
if you watch any youtubers from China you would know this is simply not the case. The reporter looked for informed ppl not the ignorant.
You may have misinterpreted what I said, but it s 100% true. As an American, I know Americans. Their ignorance about world events of any importance is shocking. Many don't even know who the Vice President of their own country is. This fact is made fun of often by late night show comedians. It's truly sad.
China borders North Korea, so these issues are very real for them and important to keep in mind but since this is video, it's edited and the editors probably got answers which were biased and uninformed and chose not to include them.
What's fascinating to me is the unrealistic expectation of average Americans to be well-informed about every part of the world. And when that expectation is not met, people cry "ignorant American!".
Why is everyone comparing China and U.S. citizens? This video isn't talking about the U.S.
Love this video and the insights from all the people. I very much appreciate getting their perspective as it's too easy to only have one source.
_"...the US is always keen to intervene."_
Ain't that the truth.
hhha
大名鼎鼎金坷垃 yeah you right in that statement , but sometimes good damn necessary, only to protect its allies and foundation of democracy and its values(They afterall the UN's, yet free world's most favorable, yet perferable superpowered world's police officer, who appreciate all true democratical values, yet in all type of freedom rights(freedom of press, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of labor, freedom of lifestyle, personal freedom etc.. ☺️ 😊 ✌️) , not the best as the Scandinavians, but the 15 best out 172* other Counties, yet being way more legitimated, militarily, technologically, yet economically than Scandinavians(I'm dane btw.. Lol) .. like right now, at the time since ww2, but if there ) , not even being sarcastically, just sayin. But as I said before yeah, you right in that statement, however 😊😉✌️🌈
Intervene, maybe. But we rarely start things.
awesome. It's always great seeing foreign (to me) regular people and hearing their take on things. This is one of the best aspects of the internet, being able to hear about and directly from anyone anywhere.
Very good videos. Amazing to see how similar we people view these issues. Keep up the good work
"You shouldn't take what Trump says seriously. He just says things."
Lol that is so true.
Yeah, but the wall though....
Still haven't happened
Same applies for all politicians.

6 months. Sure you want to go there already? I am sure I will be laughing in your face soon.
China very intelligent people!!!
Everyone walking around looks so relaxed. 3 cheers for that report totally on the ball that it helps us all to understand each other and dispell myths.
I really enjoyed it, thanks This is what is missing in today's news media.
China, South Korea, US, Russia, Japan. One of them or all of them need to take this short dictator out of power. Please free North Koreans, they have suffered enough under Kim Jong Un.
If China doesn't sign on to an agreement to resolve the issue, there will continue to not be any resolution.
The Russian Communists actually started the Korean problems, as an extension of the Russo - Japanese War, in large part because the US government in 1944 - 45 had forgotten what was laid out in the Treaty of Washington.
That said, since 1953, the Russians and the US have been moving towards resolution of the issues, but until Xi came into power in China, the PRC has been protecting their "Socialist Brothers" in North Korea.
It's not so much that Xi's faction dislikes Kim, as Zhang's faction was so strongly supporting Kim, and now that Xi is purging Zhang's people, Pyongyang has less support in Beijing.
Maybe even enough less that we will finally see Beijing sign on to an agreement that reforms the government of North Korea... but, don't hold your breath waiting.
chemech Yeah I won't, but hopefully there comes a day when the citizens of North Korea can experience real freedom, they don't deserve what they're going through.
chemech what is PRC? And what was the content of Treaty of Washington?
I don't think having an other country taking Kim out of power is a good idea. The whole situation comes from other countries taking japanese out of Korea and even in the case of one of them manage to do it it will probably not end well, an other dictator will take his seat or the new North Korean governement will be seen as a puppet of his "liberator". Will probably end up like Iraq or Afghanistan. It's only my opinion but the only peacefull options I see is either a Korean pacific reunification or a revolt in North Korea. I don't think the ultimate solution can come from outside the peninsula.
PRC is People's Republic of China (mainland China) by opposition to the ROC, Republic Of China (Taiwan).
oh my god！ It's Beijing university of technology!!!!
I had a good time there for 4 years!!
This was very insightful. I hope the best for everyone.
Thank you. Good report.
as a taiwanese, i'm impressed by how informed and smart they are, even without the access to most of the foreign media. Mainland China is growing so fast for A reason.
王业普 你是真覺得大陸人都傻嗎......？
大陸一直就沒有閉關鎖國 你有時間打算一起好好聊一下嗎？我非常感興趣 我郵箱mds13019@mountdesales.net.
They have access to most foreign media. I think the only one that was blocked when I went there was CNN and MSNBC. I googled how to get a free VPN and got access that way.
Well..if u want to, u can access all the foreign media in the mainland of China
China is not the China 30 years ago. Besides that, there is no such a country called Taiwan🙃Ask United Nation or US government if you suspicious about it
I'm from the United States and I found this very refreshing. Keep up the good work. Praying for peace! God Bless You all!
whoa this is really new and educating, thanks for sharing
Great video! Nice to hear what ppm from other countries thi k concerning topics which frankly speaking, affect them or could affect them very much. Thanks for posting!
I wish Americans were better informed. I bet 20% or less of Americans are as well informed and able to speak on the subject. I doubt 5% of our population know about the "6 party talks".
Nelson Miller If you follow MSM then I can see why you'd think that. Follow the U.S. independent media and you'll find better people.
Dude thinks a few hand-picked interviewees represents the whole country. Lol!
That's because we are Chinese, and we of course pay more attention to our neighbor.
I think this was filmed in a university or school campus so more educated people
I'm a Chinese.Since when I began to suscribe this channel, I've waiting for Chinese voice. Thanks Asianboss and the volunteer Jamie. Actually a lot of chinese young people (boys and girls) really likes to talk about politics and other news. I remember me and my college roomates once laid on our beds and talk about news until midnight.
Yes, goverment banned a series of webs.We don't like it. But that doesn't mean that we have no way to access to the world.
I love what you're doing guys keep up the great work!
I just subscribed. Excellent reporting. I am 70 and it is great to hear the views of youth.
respect to china from india
🤧😌
3:48-3:52 "That's what America always does, always interfering with other countries' national interests." Agree👍
America does invest a lot in military for reason.
👌👍
🤣
Yeah, as if other countries don't? China is trying to conquer the South China Sea, colonize Africa, buy up strategic ports and companies from all around the world, censor our media, rewrite history books in foreign countries, uses debt trap diplomacy on all the poor countries to buy the support of corrupt leaders... the list goes on.
Every other country says us interfere to much. I think this is true. Historically European countries have don't this a lot.
Thank you for your work.
This was so easy to understand and helped to clarify many things. Thanks
So, I've recently had the chance to talk to someone who fought in the Korean war on China's side, and his idea of the current China-DPRK relations was quite enlightening, let me share it with you:
It's not like China cares about DPRK or its regime, it's more like China is worried about USA's presence in its region (military bases in Japan, Korea and South China), and so needs to keep a buffer zone.
This made me think back to why the Americans were so worried about Fidel in Cuba, or why the USSR was so adamant about acquiring land from Finland. It makes sense. Except that unlike Mannerheim or Fidel, Kim is a complete lunatic lol.
this is taught in our middle school history class. haha i guess its a important war that china had
remembered that my teacher told me, if lips are gone then the teeth will be shown in danger
I don't think Kim is lunatic. just put yourself in his situation. What would u do, if u don't want to end like Saddam or Gaddafi?! Kim is quite successful playing his nuclear "cards", so he could survive.
Paulo Alexandre
You need to know some knowledge about geopolitics, China actually needs North Korea as a buffer zone. Of course, we Chinese people want to have a more peaceful atmosphere in eastern Asia, but actually, I don't think it would be achieve as long as the presence of the USA in the region you have mentioned.
Paulo Alexandre yes .china help North Korea war with South Korea .not because North Korea is “communism ”country.only because for China interests.this so same with USA.i think USA help South Korea,also for USA interests.China will help north Korea even if it is a capitalist country. Because the Korean peninsula is a buffer zone for China, this location is of great strategic value.
These videos are very interesting. I think what is most striking is how informed most of the Chinese people seem to be about their nation and politics. If you'd ask these same questions to Americans most of us wouldn't even know where North Korea was let alone the political motivations of these countries.
Thanks... Its always nice to hear what the "people" of another country thinks. Awesome job, thanks.
That was Great...Thanks!
Very enlightening video! Much thanks! As a military veteran, at age 18 while in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Iraq, I learned a very important lesson: Governments and a country's people are completely different. When nations are at war, it's the governments of nations that are at war, and unfortunately, they drag their people into it with them. That's why I never take poor decisions of governments out on a nation's people. By and large, people just want to live their lives without the childish antics of governments, and the military industrial complex war profiteers who foment these wars for pieces of fiat paper currency. This is why instead of being the last option, violence seems to be the first thing on the table. It's all about money for a very few corrupt people who hate all of humanity.
So, whenever you're disgusted by a government in another country (I'm often disgusted by my own government), keep in mind not to get angry at a person from that country. They had nothing to do with it. Chances are, they want the same thing you do. Just to live their life the best way they can.
On a side note, while the Japanese language is very easy for me to learn, I find the Chinese language to be very difficult. So, I'm very grateful you did interviews with everyday Chinese people so I can hear their thoughts!
