- Homelessness in China has become quiet the talk, especially on the Western Media. I've lived here nearly 5 years and I've never seen a homeless person in China, sooo...
I decided to go out in the middle of the night to try and find one, this TH-cam channel is about the facts, so lets see what we find.

I live in San Francisco. I dare not go out for a walk after dinner. I sit in the living room watching TV stations like CNN,ABC, CBS, NBC telling me how much freedom I have.
Free to be afraid , free to be propagandized and lied to by Western MSM.
Hahahaha....
哈哈，真的很讽刺！
hey, you got freedom from CNN. chinese don’t have that.
The freedom of living on a tent. The oppression of a roof over their is too much for Americans. 😂😂😂
To be able to hold 1.4 billion people together can't be easy.
To able to hold more then 60 races is not easy
@@aftereffects00 Most of those 60 faces are all immigrants be America Canada Australia, the rest are from the colonized countries.
@@aftereffects00 Don't you know America Canada Australia are all stolen land.
yet Xi is doing quite well

Nights in China are actually very dangerous, especially for people trying to lose weight. There are restaurants everywhere on the roadside.I gained 10kg by walking at night.😢😢😢
dang, that sounds scary. lol
🤭🤭
I agree, too dangerous! 😂
Why there are so many restaurants stii open at midnight, BBQ everywhere and so many delicious food can eat even on 4.0 am! how can I lose weight like that 😢
😅😅😅
Go out ,to japan take video
We had just visited China last month to Beijing (24 mill people) Xian (11 million) and Shanghai (30 million) not once did we see ONE homeless person in three weeks walking around everywhere and the streets are so so clean for cities with such huge population, China is so amazing and it’s so technologically advanced too, can’t wait to go back, we felt so safe, I didn’t have to grab my bag close to me, no crimes, no assaults, really to be admired 🥰
欢迎🎉
Glad to hear that you enjoyed your time travelling in my country. Welcome back again at any time :)
Not only China, but if you go to Japan and South Korea or even North Korea it's the same thing. There is something about the Asians that they know to work hard and earn a living, not to get rich but at least be well off the street. They are also a homogeneous and more tight-knit society unlike the Western urban (not rural towns) society there is basically a collapse of neighborhood community and interpersonal connectivity (don't know or don't care who lives next door)
Welcome back China anytime
I just don't understand why there are homeless people in any developped country since it's 21 century now.There's surely enough social and government resources to cover every citizen's basic life including living and food.I mean,if China can deal with that,why more developped countries not?
A single girl walking around the city at 2 am safely, that’s what we called ‘freedom’
That is HUMAN RIGHT! Not SLOGAN. The basic need for all. Thanks to President XI and his comrades.

@@nas4666under Hu Jintao regime you had to be back home at 1am otherwise you would have been killed?
My dream is walking around a city in circles at 3 am.There us nothing I wish more for my life. Not sleeping but walking at night.
@gyin "A single girl walking around the city a..." well, she isn't alone, there's at least one person with her filming. Don't be so gullible
@@nas4666 Pretty normal in many countries, no need to thank Xi for that. Also was the case before Xi or not?
The fact that a white (any race) woman can walk freely and safe at 2-3 am in a large city says a lot about China ❤
totally bullshit, the true fact is that any man or woman can walk freely at night
@@rolandsunsun6362 guess you haven’t been to any large US city. I grew up in LA lived in SF / SD been to Chicago NYC DC and several US cities (driving cross country) there are NO safe cities in the entire US after dark (today now even daytime) hell you can be in danger just on some road rage nut. If you think you can walk freely at night go to any large US city and try it.
The U.S. is a shit hole of crime, drugs, homelessness, violence, anger, hate, guns, arrogant assholes, Beavus n Buttheads, backwards hostile ignorants , but hey all too cool for others (the American entitled self righteousness). Good luck sending your wife, daughter, sister walk alone out at night in any U.S. city
@@rolandsunsun6362they can walk freely at night. That doesn’t mean they are “safe” at night. Stop giving false statements which can endanger girls. Most Chinese cities is on the safer side for women. It doesn’t mean it’s perfect, there’s always a few bad apples. Even the ghettos in China is nothing compared to those in America. If you know, you know as I won’t mention the community because I’ll be seen as racist. Regardless, girls should really research what cities are safe before going out late a night and be aware of what kind of neighborhood they are in
However, for your own safety, everyone should try not to leave the house alone at 2-3 am
Any adult, regardless of skin color, can walk freely in Chinese cities, dont even have to be a large city, such as 2p. It is just because China is a safe country, nothing more.
I used to not understand why many Westerners always asked where the homeless? Are foreigners safe in China?while they are watching western traveler's vlog in China. Later, I went to some foreign countries and understood the reason why.
Just like people in Western countries, they grew up and lived in an environment surrounded by homelessness, drug abuse, violence, robbery, shooting, etc., so they think it is normal and reasonable to have these things in the city.
But now Chinese children grow up in an environment with clean streets, numerous public cameras, free wandering in the middle of the night without worrying about personal safety, rich food, ubiquitous high-speed rail, convenient express delivery, mobile payment, etc., and think that these are the normal society life.
About ten or twenty years ago, it was still easy to see some homeless people and beggars in China, but the government's years of poverty alleviation work have greatly improved and eliminated this situation, so now it is difficult to find homeless people in cities and towns in China, and even in towns and villages. The government does not need to deliberately conceal some non-existent people.
However, if you really want to seek for homeless deliberately, you may find a very small number of homeless accidentally in maybe some abandoned building? But the odds are still pretty low. the most of whom may have mental problems, such as emotional frustration, family breakdown, etc. Once they are found, there will be relief organizations to help them, contact their relatives, send them back to their hometowns, and even arrange some suitable jobs for them to make a living and make them self-reliant.
As for China's rural areas, you may think that there must be the real poor, backward, and dirty China you want to see, right? Sorry, you are wrong again. Extremely poor rural areas do exist, but there are not many now. Those rural areas are basically due to geographical limitations, such as in remote mountainous areas, there are no direct roads, and there are no active local industries, which leads to young people running to developed cities to work and unable to build their hometowns.
However, what you may not know is that the Chinese government also has governance and arrangements for this situation. Every year, some college students or young managers with higher education are sent to various poor mountain villages as secretaries, using their knowledge and open-minded thinking to manage and develop rural areas and help rural areas get rid of poverty and become rich. Their term of office is generally 3-5 years. If these people do a good job, they can also become local representatives in the future. These are our candidates. Only those who have been trained in the most grassroots work, made outstanding contributions, and are recognized by the masses are qualified to become candidates for higher-level people's congress representatives. Instead of voting for those who spend money on advertising or make sweet speeches to be mayors, governors, congressmen, and presidents.
If you still don't want to believe it, save a few months' salary, come to China and see for yourself, choose a place on the map at random, see it with your eyes, and think with your brain，feel with your heart.
I was in China 7 yrs ago for 3 weeks with a few friends I agree with everything you said. I was in Shanghai, Huanzou, Beijing, Xuxzou, and a couple of smaller cities, we went out late at night and we felt very safe, another thing is that a any time al night is full of young people walking, talking and laughing etc. and restaurants are open it seem all night also.
I also was impressed how modern cities are, and the traffic is so quiet because most vehicles are electric. Anyway, we had so much fun that we promised we will come back one day again.
But there are still so many Chinese people fleeing China, including high-level officials and rich people.
@@QarlonRoad ALWAYS was and will be people leaving their own countries seeking a better life in other places and China is not an exception, most of them chasing THE AMERICAN DREAM In the USA to become rich.
@@QarlonRoadit means they can go out freely? What are you trying to say?
@@jonathanlai5561 They do not go out freely, many of them are smuggling into other countries illegally, you can't say that's free.
@@QarlonRoad What Lizzy says is true. It is also true that tehre are people migrating to the US and other countries for different reasons and I wish them well.
I am angry when I know that I have been tricked by fake news and misunderstood other people or countries. So I decided to believe what I saw, heard, and felt by myself.
I believe more in the world through the eyes of ordinary people. Thanks Lizzy !
Get on a plane and leave your comfort zone!
The Western media appears to China to be nothing more than a Chihuahua that likes to bark. This is because China is powerful enough. But they are a deadly threat to most third world countries.
Same here! Main stream “FAKE NEWS “ corporations know exactly what they are doing to their own citizens as well as the entire world, they are so determined fell absolutely, morally, righteous to divide humanity! I will believe this girl before I believe any western for profit news corporation!
Stop lying for CCP ! Poor are not allowed to sleep on city street. They are forced to live in village. I am Chinese
I've been saying that for yrs, China is for my opinions actually a very normal county, by normal i mean it's rule of law, it's very orderly, very peaceful, we don't like caos, we have been a civilized country for thousands yrs, we have been doing this for long long times. China is not a third world dictatorship country that could collapse any time soon. We done things Our way, and it's working fine.
We're in China right now, and everything in your video is spot on. It's confusing why our media back home blames China for so much. We really love it here! Life in China is easy-going, doesn't cost a lot, and we feel safe.
The people here are super friendly. In small towns, we even feel like mini-celebrities when people want to take pictures with us. And they're so welcoming! Everyone seems happy and hardworking. You don't see people just asking for money on the streets. Instead, they're out starting their own little businesses, selling snacks and other stuff, making a living for themselves. It's pretty awesome.
I don't know which country you are from. But that is not importance. When you go back to your home country and tell your friends and your people how great and safe China is. They are sure to say and call you a liar.
If you pay attention, the media in your country are increasingly using exaggerated images and vague descriptions, and only briefly saying the above without commenting at the end. The media is increasingly using scientific data, which indicates that your country's media has been kidnapped and will become a weapon for controlling votes during elections, leading to a government that only opposes China. This vicious cycle continues！-------- Weaponization of public opinion!

Because the Anglo-Saxon ppl cannot understand what peace is. According to their pathetically short history, any country that raises would start taking colonies and eventually start a world war.
In modern world if a country develops it would have way too much producing power that overwhelms its own market, then it seeks a new market where they can dump products, which is called a colony. That’s how the WW1and 2 starts, and they see China just like the way they saw Germany.
However, China has found a solution to this bad circle, which is the Belt and Road Initiative. Instead of dumping cheap goods to colonies and destroy their economy and resources, China sets up those foundations to first build infrastructures, then boost the local economies, then trade the local resources w/ products from China. It’s a longer process, but no pain or violence for the local people.
But in the eyes of western people, it’s a challenge to their “authorities”. “How dare you!”😂😂
"You are paid by ccp" lol, that is what you will get from those ppl who never come to China
Lizzy is correct in so many points. The Chinese are hardworking, family centered, self-sacrificing, and peace loving. That is why no matter what country the Chinese emigrate to, they will always thrive and adjust well; hence, their well-known moniker "model minority." If you look at the homeless populations in the West, very few (or none) are Chinese. They will work any job to survive and to make sure their children have a good education so they can have a better life than their parents.
I am a Chinese living in Hong Hong.
Love you girl because you are telling the truth about China and China Government!
I think if you did not come China you’ll NEVER believe China Government is doing so well!

me too👍
The video shows the true situation of China, but let me correct one small mistake at 05:20 of the video, in China you won't be simply sentenced to death by "found carrying drugs", death penalty only comes when you proved to sell or produced drugs, there are strict limits to death punishment for different kinds of drugs, such as opium 1kg, or heroin 50g, selling less than this amount won't be sentenced to death. One the other hand if you simply take drugs, not selling drugs, you will be sent to the rehabilitation center
治安管理处罚法第72条，“吸食、注射毒品的，处十日以上十五日以下拘留，可以并处二千元以下罚款；情节较轻的，处五日以下拘留或者。
其实拘留是强制的，戒毒所倒不是完全强制的。
@@shaozhihao 感谢补充！拘留不是刑事判罚，而是行政处罚，我是纠正一下视频里的说法，单纯吸食毒品，而非制毒贩毒，不会被判死刑
Yeah I want to make some supplements for this comment like u just won’t be sentenced the death penalty when u even don’t know u are carrying some drugs because it’s imaginable that some drug dealers may set u up for it. But still the punishment is severe when there is iron proof showing that “u are producing or selling or carrying drugs ”intentionally
Good job, Lizzy. Thank you for your effort to show us what you see in China.
I live and work in Beijing to now, Shanghai, it's an amazing country, really. As a Singaporean, I get my fair dose of fake Western media reports on China and it's just crazy when you hear and read the things they say. Nothing could be further from the truth. Love your sharing, Lizzy. I'm so subscribed to you already! Keep the amazing content (and TRUTH) about China coming!
This is also called freedom being able to walk alone in the middle of the night unaccosted and with no fear of personal safety particularly for a young girl.
too bad western world refuse to agree... they twist the meaning of freedom...
I feel so sad for the homeless & drug addicts in America. Why is their government not doing anything to help their people?
hmmm their term is called depopulation
It's both sides... The government not solving the roots of the causes and rhe people mentally is also another problem, the whole society is been told you are free to do what you want it's your life....the whole society doesn't have self responsibility thinking only have this freedom thing.
Us government: I gave you freedom, isn't that enough?
" What is important to a politician in the USA is how they get enough financial support to bankroll their lifestyle and fund their next election. "
All about money here.
Thank you for your honest observation and you are right about all aspects. China is probably the safest country on the planet. Chinese people work extremely hard and they have no time to do any crime on the street at night. Criminality is a shame to the family of the perpetrator. Even a tip is more an insult and should not be done like in the usa.
Yes. In ancient China, high-ranking officials, big capitalists and landowners would tip their slaves when they were in a good mood, so modern Chinese people think tipping is an insult. The reason why there are so few vagrants in China is that China feels that vagrants are morally shameful and shameful. No matter how much money you make, you must have a job
There are criminals but the strict enforcement of laws in China drive the criminal element to other countries like Cambodia and Laos to base their criminal enterprises. I hope as these countries get more prosperous China will help them bring these criminals to justice.
@@kingofsquids criminals are everywhere dude. Human beings are all sinful as the Bible says, so you too are as sinful as your neighbors, but the question is how to manage the country for the sake of the good few.
Stop lying for CCP ! Poor are not allowed to sleep on city street. They are forced to live in village. I am Chinese
@@philiptan2051 is not called a POLICE STATE for nothing.... they put all those cameras to use.
As a female, the security of walking alone at night in large Chinese cities is something I can barely experience in other countries.
However, China do have homeless people, but they normally won't cost seriously harm to others (no drugs or guns at least)
Really appreciate that Lizzy shares her real experience in China on TH-cam for those criticism who has never known about and been to China

This video is just another piece of stupid Chinese communist propaganda, full of lies and ignorance, all garbage. There is definitely homelessness in China, everybody in China knows it unless you deliberately turn a blind eye to the reality. Just look at those iron railings on doors and windows, you would think Chinese homes are like prison cells, how can you say China is a safe country? The only country where there is no homelessness is North Korea, but does that mean North Korea is a better place?
As a local citizen lived in Chengdu for 20 years, I'm very glad that you enjoy your stay here😊
And to be frankly, what I want to say is, there are also homeless people in China’s big cities, not really none. At least they were quite common 20 or 30 years ago. Back then, there was a notorious law called “Custody and Repatriation”, which forced the homeless people to go back to their hometowns. I remember that 20 years ago, the McDonald’s stores in China’s big cities were often full of homeless people at night. But things are always getting better. As China’s economy gets better and better, the government also starts to change those brutal practices. They give more relief to the homeless people, help them find jobs, and even rent some cheap houses. I don’t agree with everything the government does, but I generally think that our country’s government is very responsible in taking care of the poor.
Because these people come to big cities with bad intentions, maybe to beg, in short because of poverty. The government sends them back to their hometown, and the government in their hometown will help them, train them in work skills, and let them fight poverty through their own labor. It's not the kind of repatriation you imagine.
You are local person, you should be grateful of your government. There is no perfect government in the world. Be proud of your country.
@@cheekongthien Yeah, when I was 20 as a college kid, I saw a lot of propaganda about how awesome and free and developed the western countries were. I really believed that everything was better there, and everything sucked here, and the government was the worst villain ever (of course, China did have a lot of problems back then).
But after working for more than 10 years, I saw more of the social reality, witnessed the development of our country and society, and also visited many of the so-called developed countries. I saw more of the social truth that was hidden behind the media hype. I’m not the naive little fool who thought the world was only black and white, good and evil, like I was 10 years ago.
There’s no perfect country, perfect government, or perfect people in the world, but I’m proud to be Chinese, and I’ll always love my country.
@@Raiven1983good..dont trust any western media anymore
Thank you Lizzy for posting this video. As a Canadian born chinese in Vancouver BC at 59 years old, I too was caught up in the western media's lies about China. Sad but true! I had no desire to ever go to China because of all the negative news media. That's when I started to really look and open my eyes to China and can't wait to visit there sometime in the near future. Definitely on my bucket list. Keep up the great video content, Lizzy you're a star!
PS. I think your chinese is better than mine...lol!
It's good to visit n see the real China but be prepared for the crowds. Despite the superb transport infrastructure, the crowds can be overwhelming. Despite being a frequent visitor to China, i do not encourage others to do so but if you must, do plan carefully as good planning can make all the difference.
Come. You will be amazed. Try the 144 hr transit permit if you don't want to commit to a visa. It is free when you arrive in the airport of most of the main cities.
What a pity. I am Shanghai native and been in San Francisco area for over 20 years. Let me tell you, SF is 4th world compared to Shanghai.
NOW YOU KNOW...
The North Koreans are not the only IGNORANT & STUPID people BRAINWASHED by their government and media.
Great job Lizzy 🌹👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💐
The truth will always prevail. Great job Lizzy. Love all your videos.
But I have seen too many distorted and fake reports about China from the western main stream media, they are so professional in making China look terrible through some small tricks, as a Chinese I can easily find the tricks, but I think for westerners it's not easy.
In my country (ex yugoslavia) we didn't have homeless people in communism/socialism. After the collapse they started appearing, so did the beggars. What we used to see in Italy that then came to our country.
I've been living in various cities in Asia, including parts of China, for 11 years and feel safer walking around every major city I've visited than my hometown in Atlanta, GA. No one in their right mind would aimlessly walk around most US cities late at night. Quite frankly, given the neighborhood I grew up in isn't that great, the peace of mind I've experienced in the last decade often makes me not want to go back home.
Omg! I do feel worried for you walking all alone along dark streets so late into the night. That does show China is indeed safe by any measure! Take care Lizzy. You have proved your point on the absence of the homeless and how China is safe even for a lone woman walking all alone by herself late into the night or the early, early morning!
u need not worry for her, she is safe! u only need to worry for yourself if u r in Usa on the street at night!
it's very dangerous to walk on the street at 2am in China! you will gain fat and broke becoz there are so many delicious food on the street!!! dammmmmmmn
It is safe. I have been to China. You can walk alone at night and not fear of getting robbed. The problem with America is the people have been given too much freedom. Freedom to take drugs, freedom to challenge authority, freedom to tear down your own marriage. Over in China or Asia, they have something called communal spirit, and you as a man or woman have to perform your natural duties as mother and wife or as father and husband etc. Not, constantly brandishing your feminist rights which is very shameful to them and not walking out on your family because you prefer to drink and take booze in pubs. They know what is SHAME. Americans and British mostly don't.
@@marvelcomiks8078 i have to say, i agree with the first half of what you said, but not the latter half. too much freedom would probably cause problems, like violating others' rights, see damaging publich environment as pioneer or personality. we chinese people do have some communal spirit, but it does not necessarily equal everyone must get marriged and give birth to children. it is a life choice, not a duty. people can make their own decisions.
In Chinese culture, when people are well fed and contented with the basics, there is no need to rob/steal/loot! Of course, there are some exceptions but negligible!
As a Chinese, I remember seeing homeless people on the street when I was ten years old. Most of them are physically disabled or have mental problems begging on the streets. When I was in junior high school (about sixteen years old), our municipal government launched a policy to house homeless people. My relatives who work in the government told us that homeless people in the city will enter the shelter in batches, where they will temporarily receive clean shelter and food. During this period, the staff will check the personnel information and send those who can be sent back to their hometowns. If family members cannot be found, the government will also provide them with temporary housing until they find work. (By the way, many jobs in China will provide food and accommodation, such as security guards, waiters, or workers. The company will provide simple dormitories.) People with mental problems will be sent to psychiatric hospitals. After the problem of a group of homeless people is completely solved, another group will be sent. The whole process lasted for more than a year and basically solved the homeless problem in the city. Now if a homeless encampment appeared in our city, it would be big news for the entire municipality.
Yes, you are telling the truth. I am from Hong Kong and live in Canada, due to my job duties, I sometimes travel to China Shenzhen and surrounding areas for business staying. From 1986 to now, I witnessed the growth of China and the poverty alleviation gradually. The Central Government is trying all means to help its people. Keep it up China, we love you China.
beggers were quiet easy to find when I was young (like 20-10 years ago). But then people find that many beggers are just swindlers who utilize your sympathy. Many beggers can afford a good car and house, it's just their job to beg.

Taking drugs does not lead to the death penalty. They will be arrested and sent to drug rehabilitation centers. Drug trafficking only leads to the death penalty.
I'm from Singapore, I have visited China number of times, I'm amazed that China as such a big country, but is very well developed of their infastructure, and is a safe country I visited, I didn't see a single homeless man sleeping on the street or begging for money during my visit, China people are hard working, good service and good attitude in their job, we even can place our laggages in the hotel lobby at night and went to hotel restaurant for our quick meal, and a house keeper in my hotel room rejected my tips and said is her duty to serve me, no need to give her tips, I'm so amazed for their attitude, and always see people put on their smelling face on me everywhere I visited. Feeling very comfortable there.. i will definitely go back again ...
One reason: with a camera every one kilometer, your country can be this safe, provided you're okay with it, aren't you privacy minded? China's crime hotspots are rural, where there are no cameras

Great! When I lived in Shanghai 3 years (already 10 years back), I wanted also to show the world the real China. Unfortunately, back then, the technology was still too bad. So I'm glad for everybody who does that. And I fully agree with all your experiences. After having lived there I changed completely my mind, and now I say: China is the best government system in the world! People of democracies cannot imagine, that the government is actually working FOR the people - because in the West, they all are stupid beyond imagination and work only for themselves. Simon, Germany.
Agree!
Now I understand why “for the people” was used in Nazi German propaganda. Because German people want a nanny government. And they got it.
... Tiene una amplitud el desarrollo a todo nivel .. No se puede vivir en los dorados como antes, tampoco en las muchas cuevas donde vivían miles de familias, para eso el gobierno central edifica .. estimula la actividad individual agropecuaria, tienen capacidad de ahorro, y ... Mucho mas ..
@@user-lp5nk8si5y I don't understand what you're trying to say ...?
After watching a video about how Chinese elect their leaders, I now think they have the best system to form their government.
I am a HK-born Chinese.
After 1997, I feel more "at home" then ever as I am finally living and standing on "China land", yet with literally nothing changed compared to those good old days.
When HK was a British colony, democracy was almost unheard of up until we were about to be returned to our moherland! How "nice" was the Brits!
The HK governor was replaced one after another at the order of the UK government. That is absolute authoritarian! So, democracy to us was but a word" locked" in the dictionary.
Thank Lizzy so much for candidly n courageously sharing your great experience in Shengdu!
One may not find the best country on earth, but where can be better than China nowadays?
Is that the reason why so many people from China even take route of going to South America to go with the caravan on a dangerous path to illegally immigrate to the US? Lol. Yeah.. sure.
honestly before 1997, hong kong was very dangerous. gangsters, bank robberies etc.... yes it was under the british government hahahaha
Lies. You're a ccp disinformation agent.

Great video. I've just returned from a brief enjoyable visit to parts of China. It's very safe
I have been to Chengdu many years ago and I love the city! I have never lived there long enough to comment the "facts" mentioned in this video. However, I have lived in Shanghai, Beijing, Qingdao, Beihai, Hangzhou and Nanjing over the span of over 2 decades. In Beijing, there ARE beggars nowadays but very few. In the 90s the beggars were rampant. Most of the beggars are old or handicapped or both. You can find them at tourist spots like The Llama Temple. I walk pass them every morning on the way to work. Also, like Lizzy, I don't seem to be able to see any of them sleeping at sidewalks or subways. Where do they live at night? And yes, it is very safe to walk around at any time of the day or night. In the metropolitan like Shanghai or Beijing, I walked in dark alleys without fearing for my life. Not sure if it is the same in other cities. It is true that there were snatchers on bikes in the 90's and early 2000, but the cases have been reduced to almost none these days. I used "almost" because I cannot be too certain but I have not heard of any news about this for years! Come to China, explore it! It is cheap, full of culture, good food and great people!

I lived in China for 8 years. I always felt safe everywhere.
I think also China doesn’t allow people to freely sell drugs and leave addicts on the street. It seems to be a better way than the western world
在19世纪和20世纪的前几十年中国被毒品深深地伤害过，当时的毒品是鸦片，同时那段时间也是中国十分孱弱的时候，被侵略，被割让领土，所以痛苦的历史也是中国严禁毒品的原因之一
It’s Chinas “never again” after the opium war.
I am a Chinese native and I have been to Japan and Egypt for a trip, and I am planning to travel to the UK next summer. I want to say most of your narratives are correct, I really appreciate that. However, I still want to mention that the homeless does exist but it's like what you said, being homeless is so different in China compared to the US.
As far as I'm concerned, There are some reasons I want to say:
1.Most ancester of people in China city, are basically farmers, and farmers seldom become homeless because they have farmland (though not big). And as everybody knows ,China's urbanization happened just in the past 40 years, which means most of people in China citys, their fathers(mothers) or grandfathers(grandmothers) own a small farmland. So when someone becomes homeless due to business failure or something, they still can return to rural areas, and take on their old farmland their (grand-)fathers rent to rural local government when their fathers go to city, government will return that to them if they can't find any job in city. So basically it's very hard in China to become completely homeless.
2.If someone lose their job and still want to live in a city, There are some aid stations where provides free food and beds. But one thing in these aid stations is forbidden: they are NOT allowed to PLAY mobile phones, which makes the life there boring. I think everyone can understand that: the government respect those who strive to work but failed, and the aid station is willing to help them find the next job. But Chinese government doesn't help those who are lazy. It just like what you said in video, the big father's love.
3.There are a group of people you may be interested in, they are called "三和大神" , and they are the people closest to the homeless. They work for like one day and then live a frugal life the next three days until they use up all the money and then work one day more...They live in internet cafes because internet cafes are cheap and they cannot or don't even care about having a apartment. At the time you film this video, the "homeless" are playing computer games in internet cafes...BTW, "大神" means "the master". And "三和" is the name of a famous labour market in ShenZhen, there are lots of people living in this kind of life style.
三和大神都整出来了
There are beggers and homeless people in every major city in China. Delusional people and China state mafia sponsored videos. HAHAHAHAHA
也是牛逼了
There were homeless people in China 20 years ago. Government sent them back to their hometown where the housing is really cheap. The government help them reintegrated into the society by treating mental conditions, getting off drugs and job training.
China is safe, but still do not recommend girl walking alone at midnight. One of the reasons China doesn't have homeless people is that the local government provides shelter to stay in and assistance to send them back to their hometowns. It is a pity our world is not perfect yet, many people judge things by simple imagination. Thank you for your kindness in showing real life in China.
it is OK and safe for her walking on main street at 2am in big city .Lizzy just don't realized how many CCTV on the street on surveillian duty ...policeman maybe watch her on the monitor and got confused what she is doing at 2 am on the street... and bad guys also know this..
usually it is the CCTV and police behind ensure your safety... just remember this
Lizzy ,next time you can make a test at 2Am on this street before the cctv, just lay down on the ground suddenly, and stay still pretending to pass out and wait for policeman comming to help you😂😂😂😂
Honest question, without the constant CCTV monitoring, do you think Chinese men would be the same as Indian men? Indian men can't control their libido you know. Also their weakness is fair skinned white and Asian women.
I'm just being upfront... An honest question ok.
Edit: This woman looks like she is scared and using the camera as her protection.
She may be serpentza's friend for all we know.

you are humour
US has shelters, but shelters don't allow drugs and alcohol. There's also no privacy and theft due to open cots in gyms.
Lizzy you are so correct as i live in toronto in canada for 45 years and we have a lot of homeless people in the city esp. downtown. Mostly caused not by the individuals but by govt. policies and huge cost of basic living. Keep up the good works.
in short, debt. to control or encourage debt is government's job.
Having enough food and clothing to know honor and disgrace, allowing the people to have plenty of food and clothing. Water can carry boats and capsize them, making the people the mainstay of the living country.

Homeless in Toronto? How do they survive the bitter winter?
@@TomW-ks3gp by dreaming the Chinese dream. It keeps them warm.
To be fair, in China, there are people camping on the streets, but very few. I am a community worker. Just last week, I thought there were no homeless people in my community (4 square kilometers), until one of my colleagues told me:
Do you know? There is a young woman sleeping on the ground in the underground passage. What should we do?
We discussed for a while and thought she might have come from another city, currently unemployed, and unwilling to spend money on hotels. Finally, we reported this matter to the Civil Affairs Bureau, and they will send someone to give her a blanket and food.
Later on, I found out that the Civil Affairs Bureau would have dedicated personnel responsible for patrolling places such as heating pipeline wells, bridges, and street passages in winter. If homeless people were found, they would be advised to stay in shelters. If they were unwilling to go, they would be given warm clothing, blankets, and food to prevent them from freezing to death.
In short, there are indeed very few homeless people in China. Even as a community worker, I may not be aware of their existence.
I lived in China for about 3 years and everything she said is spot on. As a woman I never felt unsafe for a minute even walking around outside in places I had never been. Every government is corrupt to some degree. The biggest difference between the Chinese government and the U.S. government that I see is, the Chinese government still cares about what the people think of it. The US government has gotten to the point where they don’t give a phuk at all any more what the people think of them. The Chinese people are crazy how hard they work it’s like ridiculous. Sometimes it’s just too much, trying to sleep at night with jack hammers going off at 3 am in the city…. Never did I see a homeless person.
The differences between governments 😂lmao. CCP government is afraid of being criticized but most multiparty governments don’t give a shit about criticism no matter which party is elected. At times I have no idea which is worse.
Thank You Lizzy for sharing the truth with us. Blessings from Malaysia
Chengdu is really a very nice city, the people there are very friendly. Some years ago I have been there for a concert, and the stadium is like in countyside, very far from the center, and I just wanted to call a taxi by phone and then a didi car stopped in front of me and dropped a passenger, then I asked the driver if he can take to me to the stadium. it was dinner time actually and he was going to go home but he kindly let me in and took me Free. After the concert I rent a bike to my hotel at midnight, there were few people on the street bu I still felt very safe. Hope you have fun in Chengdu, but I reccomand you eat the food WEI LAI, and it's spicy enough.
It get better after the USA embassy office there was closed.

Lizzy thank you very much for your brave efforts.
Hello Lizzy ! Living in Asia, I know well China where my wife has family, and I don't use to watch videos about that country; often propaganda against China.
But I shared your nighty ride looking for homeless people !
I agree with your analyse, of course. I would like to add, and it's a significant difference with the West, that Chinese families give an strong education to their children, and having a job and being honest are values that are essential. That has a huge impact on employment and security.
Honesty, being a good human being and a good citizen, are values that come from parents, from families, from society.
In China, and in Asia, parents tell their kids : You want something ? Work hard and buy it !
In the West, today, parents are absent and movies & social nets tell the kids : You want something ? Steal it !
About drugs, you're right to make travellers afraid, but we can't say that consumers are killed ! Only big dealers are severely punished.
When I was in China, I saw such theme video to test how safe China was I feel rediculous, because safe society is very common in China no matter in big city and small city. Recently I am in North America, now I understand why they want to take video in China in mid-night.
Keep up the good work Lizzy 👍👍👍
Dear Lizzy, thank you for showing the authentic life of a tier 2 city of China, my home Chengdu. It's true about benefit housing provided for rural peasants, but the living expense plus mortgage versus incoming is still stressful. Working harder instead of complaining could be an essence of Eastern asian culture😊
post covid, Nov 2023, is my tenth ( done 17 of 22 China's provinces ) holidaying to china. I felt it's the safest country to travel . For my recent trip, I travelled to villages. towns and cities and I did not once seen a homeless/beggar. Another beautiful thing about china, anyone 60 yrs and above gets 50% off for most entrance tickets and seniors over 65 years gets free entrance tickets to tourist spot. In addition to that, 65yo entitle free Subway rides too. Just show your passport at the ticket counters. Next autumn, I'll be travelling to Inner Mongolia
OMG… this is such a funny video!! 😂😂 Looking for homeless people/ person in China. 😂😂 I believe Lizzy, I’ve been to China a few times and I’ve never seen homeless ppl.
So the CPC has the support of all Chinese except the rich😀

@@andyqian1241because China's rich people have the responsibility to share their wealth to their community. Meanwhile, in the US or Western countries with anti-China agenda, their governments encourage their ultra-rich people to be more greedy.
As a Chinese at the age of 42，my opinion about why there is few homeless people out on the streets is: there is always a job for people who are willing to earn a living,even though the pay for a low skill and temporary job sometimes is low. But it still is enough for food and for the rental of cheap apartment or motel. And for those drug addicts who are willing to live on the street, they will be sent to rehab center as soon as the police noticed.
哈哈哈哈哈哈哈 笑死 2017年北京开始清理低端人口 强拆民宅！你想在大城市找到一个流浪汉那是不可能的 要么被清理要么被赶到乡下。有穷人有富人有流浪汉这是一个社会的正常现象！如果中国真的这么富有 李克强也不会在卸任前打了习近平一个“大耳光” 说全中国还有6亿人的月收入不足1000人民币 紧接着10月初就“被突然离世”。

Thanks very much for making this video and used yourself as a life example to prove a point. As an overseas Chinese I concur with your findings. You are obviously someone with great intellectual insight and are the type of person that could make success out of everything you put your attention into. My respect and all the best from UK.
In Taiwan, a place we claim we have the best democracy system different from mainland China, we have a lot of homeless people in Taipei, Taichung and Tainan. They can be found very easily, especially near the train stations after 9pm in these big cities here.
Taiwan aspires to be part of the US, hence Taiwan must first develop the homelessness, guns and drugs pandemic problems, otherwise you won't be able to integrate seamlessly with your daddy US. 😂

Hi Lizzy I am not worried about your safety at all,
I am sure you will be fine walking the street in the middle of night,
Chinese people are the warmest peace-loving people on the planet,

I'm Chinese. Lizza, good job! What you see is very factual. Welcome to every nice person from the world to my country. I wish a happy life for you.
You are a very nice person, Lizzy. I know that our media in France lie to us everyday, about Ukraine, about Russia, about China, about Palestinians and Israelis, about Covid... . And our economical and social situation is worsening at a fast pace. If I was 20 years old, I would go to China, although chinese seems to me a very difficult language for a foreigner. Can you speak chinese ?
They eat escargot n frog legs. Just go for a nice holiday n open your mind. If u think thats too difficult, Singapore is very similar. We eat escargot n frogs legs too. Plus girls r not forced to have a boyfriend for protection from an early age like in some countries. Freedom to grow up properly! Its not only ability to walk alone at 3am
I am a Christian Chinese in Hong Kong. I am so happy and proud of my country. 40 years ago when China is still quite poor, many Western Christians prayed for China. And now China is blessed. I pray to GOD the same blessing back to Western. But, in my humble opinion, the Western need to be humble and go back to GOD. Stop racism, homosexual, drug, ego, extreme democracy.
You said well. You are right by saying that Western should turn their face to God. I am an African. Western taught us about Cristianity. I thanked them for this . But at this moment they are destroying Christianity and they tell us to destroy it too. But I will never.

I'm French, i lived in China from 2008 to 2013, 2 years in Chengdu as a student. I love that city ! Ten years ago, China wasn't as rich as today but extreme poverty was absolutely under control, not only in the largest cities, i had a car and travelled by myself, i've NEVER seen somebody who can't feed and sleep at least inside free dormitory. Never heard about drugs, tbh i wasn't looking for it, but in five year and many party, i would have seen or heard something ? (compared to France at least !) And i absolutely confirm that even a drunk sexy lady can walk everywhere all night, with the latest iphone at hand, at most she will be "disturbred" to be invited for a snack, for a picture or for help to return hotel... Don't think about doing that in any french city, only our deepest countrysides are safe...
Medias can spit on China as much as they want, anybody who went there for at least few months will inderstand that they are liars !

There were indeed many beggars in China many years ago, but with the development of the economy, most of these beggars have disappeared. Now if you see a beggar on the street, his income is likely to be much higher than that of most ordinary people🤣
In my country, it has also been reported virally that some beggars earn a very modest income compared to the income of a normal serious worker.
Don't know how begging works in China which is a cashless country nowaday.

China in the past decades work hard to eliminate the extreme poverty. They found productive ways to help these people and others. Remember I was traveling to China in a small mountain area absence of agriculture or industries. When we were on a river tour, the guide told us that the govt people there to find out what resources there can do so that people can make a living. So they were given boats for tourists travel down the river. On the mountain they were given lands to people to teach them to grow certain type of ginseng - valuable herbs suitable for mountain climate. At that time, it was an eye opener how the govt really focus on people - vs special interests groups in the west especial bankers-controlled amerika
Thank you Lizzy for showing the true China❤
A lot also has to do with the fact that the Chinese are on the whole a responsible people & will try to avoid situations which can cause trouble.
Chinese people have been taught since birth the Confucian ethics of respect and good morals. Respect of government , teachers, spouse and family members elders. Do not bring shame to the family. Confucian belief is prevalent in Korea and Japan.

As a woman living in Shanghai for many years and watching the comments below, I suddenly realized that maybe it was a little reckless for me to walk at night while I traveled outside China. I've done that in many places, such as Boracay, Hanoi, Greece, Paris, and so on. There were no terrible things that happened at those times.

现在的homeless主要是精神障碍者
其实还有一个原因，中国没有房产税，你买了房子，就不必再交任何的税了。假设两个人，一个在美国，一个在中国，都破产了，美国人马上会因为多次不交房产税而失去房子，中国人则完全不必担心流浪街头，你的房子永远是你的，除非你欠了一屁股债被法院强制执行拍卖

You are so right, China family bond is so strong. Parents will take care of their children whenever they got trouble, and tough love is the only right way to make life right.
That may be true there is little or no homeless people on most of the street, but if you live in China for a long time, you would encounter one or more times that homeless people sleep under a underground passage. I believe that no matter how rich or beautiful country is, there will always be those who have a difficult life. However, these years it is harder to find one homeless people than previous years in China, I think people's life do inproved overall.
Thank you to show this video.
In fact, as my mind, the most dangerous area in the night in China is the night food street, because large part perhaps your wallet will be thinner.😱 Of course your stomach will be heavy at the same time. 😂
In China, there is also not freedom in some fields, such as :
People don't have the freedom to step on shit anywhere in the street.
People also don't have the freedom to deal /take drugs, because there is the most hard law in the whole world to forbid.
Chinese here. To be fair, it’s not safe to walk in the streets alone at most small city and towns in my country. It’s not that safe but I think generally safer than US, UK Russia and India
Yeah I’ve seen heaps of homelessness in China,,, hope the people there honour their existence and help them with Love!
Xi Jinping went to San Francisco and their homeless all disappeared.
the Jimmy Dore show has exposed the 'disappearance of homeless people in San Francisco" the government actually MOVED the homeless people from one area to another area in San Francisco whiles giving it a face lift (cleaning up the area from rubbish drugs and pot holes etc)

Wow, telling the truth could get yourself accused of working for the government 😅. Thanks for doing what you do.
In China, even in the small city where I live, there are shops and barbecues at 3 o'clock in the morning. You don't need to worry about the safety of going out late at night. Even if there is an emergency or a traffic accident and the elderly fall and are injured, you only need to call the police. Traffic cameras can find you and help you, and they can arrive within minutes to solve your problem.
China has shelters to accommodate homeless people, which is mandatory. Although vagrants have the right to wander, their wandering behavior poses a potential threat to social security.
This is traditional Chinese culture, where individuals take responsibility for society rather than just doing whatever they want.
Love you for sharing this video!!
I'm Chinese and I think China is safe. But I don't think you should go out at midnight alone, nothing is absolute, girl, please take good care of yourself.
On city streets ， this presents no problem.
Even in China's rural areas, concerns about encountering malicious individuals are minimal, given the current low incidence of public security issues. However, one should still exercise caution when venturing out late in the countryside. Personally, I've been startled by small animals, a testament to China's impressive ecological recovery.

谢谢你介绍真正的中国，可爱的小姑娘😊❤❣️
Very pertinent evaluation, thank you❤
Some beggars in China are professional beggars. Those who really need help will not be singing and begging on the side of the road. Chinese people value dignity.
In China, there are still often homeless married men who forget the time to go home because they went crazy at night. In most cases, the wives at home will not let the men enter the house again as a warning. There are also drunk people who may sleep on the roadside at night, of course, without being discovered by patrolling police.
In China, it can only be said that it is a relatively safe country, but it is not absolutely safe. Girls still need someone to accompany them when traveling at night. In every country, there are good people and bad people, although China is in your mind , it is really safe, but you also need to pay more attention to avoid accidents!
Experts that never been to China 😅😅😅
Decent cheap hotels cost ￥100/$15 per night. so not drunk homeless men.
or they slept in their cars (very unusual)
Men who have wives waiting for them at home are not homeless. When the men are barred from home as a punishment, it’s called being sent to the dog house.
你沒有來過中國，才有這個想法。
@@aungaisum8654most if not all the China experts in the US have never been to China. 😂
在中国，无家可归的人也是有的，只是，一般会出现在一些偏僻地带的大桥桥底下，那些地方不会有城管或是警察支驱赶他们。当然，在城市当中，还有一些无人可归的人还会警察带到附近的派出所。只是，无家可归的人没有那么多，即使是现如今生存压力很大情况下，如果在城市生活不下去就会回到农村老家。In China, there are homeless people, but they usually appear under bridges in some remote areas. In those places, there are no urban management or police to drive them away. Of course, in cities, there are still some homeless people who are taken to nearby police stations by the police. However, there are not that many homeless people. Even under the current pressure to survive, if they can't live in the city, they will return to their hometown in the countryside.
Welcome to my hometown Chengdu, thank you for your video. I just went on a trip to Cape Town, South Africa this year. visited Table Mountain and Cape of Good Hope. went diving, the beautiful sea of South Africa is awesome， I will never forget it all my life. While encountering many friendly people, the problem of homeless people filling the streets is indeed a problem. So I fully understand your value for security. After visiting many countries and working with people of various religious beliefs，various race , I believe that humanity still has more commonality than diversity. What we all need is better education and better economic conditions. Wishing the world a better place ❤
wowwwww! YESSS I will never deny my countries beauty!!! Yes wishing the world better opportunities!
Main reason that there is almost no homeless people is that pretty much everyone does have their own homes in China. I can't think of anyone would be having no home. There are beggars in China, but they also have their homes somewhere. I also agree that there is no drug problem like in the west, and people with mental illness will be sent into some institutions instead of wandering around in streets.
Liz you are wonderfull! Telling the trouth about China to the world. China is a very good place. ❤❤❤
A little under 20 years ago, there were “beggars” in Beijing. As a tourist group, and old man with 1 leg and his “granddaughter” carrying a portrait of a dead relative came to us begging for money. Have a feeling they were professional beggars at the time. Not sure what’s happened since then. Nice to know it isn’t around anymore. It was pretty freaky at the time.
In fact what you met is probably the professional cheaters. People in the countryside were too poor to be taken away by human traffickers. most of them are children and old man
The traffickers broke their bones and made them disabled to use people’s sympathy to make money
So we hate traffickers bitterly
@@user-sx4qd5re3s yeah I know they weren’t genuine. Still quite scary to see at the time.
Totally agree, most Chinese city do not have property tax, and the condo fee is cheap, so housing is much affordable than north America

3:42 One point I do agree with Lizzy, I lived in one big western country for almost 10 years. I was unemployed when my wife was 6 months pregnanted and you can imagine how worry I was in terms of my financial issues. Sure I filed my application for UI (unemployment insurance), while I kept on looking for another job. Luckily I found one while the application was still in process. Most Chinese people preferred to spend their hard earned money rather than taking people's help, just because it feels much better!
america... yep. you know it. i am an american too. i agree.
