Put it this way. People in UK look to the past. They want to be in the past. The best time for the UK was in the past. People in China look to the future. They want the future the best time for China is coming in the future. People in China embrace the future. Those who embrace the future will want to live in China.
Let's not forget it is all about choices! USnUK prefers capitalism, they love celebs, they love paying over the odds for feeling freedom and democracy, they just love propaganda and rhetoric, the west hates communism, they hate community, they hate govt that serves the people, the west loves govt that serves corporations. It's all about choices and we must defend their rights to freedom and democracy and to embrace capitalism, so long as they don't spread it around!
To some extent, I agree about your point about looking to the past/future. Then again, one might say that the Chinese are looking forward to the return of how it was before these last 300 or so years when China mattered the most.
@@hazerothChina wants to bring back the past. They were No1. Age of Empires. Many countries that exist now didn't exist. Ruled by other countries. Might was right. We see this vision with Russia invading Ukraine with their new Nortk Korean allies. We see the superior Chinese Navy create and occupy islands in SCS We see Chinese villages appear in defenceless Bhutan. We see the clash of Empires, the clash of Civilisations again.
In China: If the government gives positive results for their people, then there's democracy. In the west: If Im allowed to vote my president, then there's democracy. Sometimes we forget that we need the most qualified doctor in the town to do our surgeries, not the most handsome or charismatic one.
Welcome brother, I'm a mainland Chinese living in London but decided not settled here. Hope you enjoy your life in China and able to settle there, it's a great place and open to everyone!
I'm chinese. I visited this place a few years ago. I walked to Darwin's birthplace. It's under renovation, but the owner lady was so nice she showed me the whole house. In near future it will be open as a tourist attraction.
Is youth unemployment low in Shanghai? Government in China have stopped releasing youth unemployment figures. Because they are so bad elsewhere. Obviously not in Shanghai
I lived in Germany for 6 years now, what I miss from China is the excitement and energy. things here in Germany are getting worse and worse, so many struggles. I finally decided move back to China early next year. I miss China, so much better
I do love the old architecture/ small town but I agree with you the local govt should inject freshness every now and then to revitalize the scene and/or something to improve the lives of the people.
Glad that we can talk about China in a fair and balanced way. All the best for your life in China, I'm sure there are many that would love to live in China but are too afraid to go into the unknown.
The biggest problem the medias lies and reported fake news about China. That's why their people believed it which they haven't been visit China see by their own eyes what's really look's llike by now.
@@drjamesallen6012 , If my memory serves me well, I believe that Luke is studying for his Ph.D. on governmental scholarship from China. Of course he has to pitch in some resources on his part to begin with. Just like if Luke wants to travel abroad, e.g. to China in his case, he would've needed to save up some least amount of money to realize that. But then since he is qualified to receive the scholarship from China, he then can study for his Ph.D. in China as he is currently doing. As viewed from here, Luke is apparently a person with open mind and willingness to learn and explore, which all enables him to be able to become aware of, acknowledge, and then recognize what is true and what is false as to China on pertinent issues and matters, and then deploy his talent in what he seeks to achieve in China. That helps a great deal, I'd wage.
I thought that your hometowns beautiful. That quantum leap is a bit laughable but every city's got something like that haha. Oh and have a lovely holiday season with your family.
@@livinlavidalukeI read local Government debt is huge in China a long with the high speed railwork debt. Also local Government building apartments no one lives in or wants. What is your opinion on that?
Scotland is beautiful but, 70% of the time it is cold... as for China, you can go south if the weather in the north gets cold. Interesting landscape from Harbin, to Shandong, to Kunming, to Tibet , to Guangdong, Hongkong, Nanning ...you won't be bored.
Though UK has more and more problems, I still enjoyed a walk around neighbourhood, hello and smile with incoming strangers. They are still doing that, better than US. Of course, what you said is true, China has lots of advanced facilities now, and quality of people is improving too. It will take time that more and more people will speak some English and behave better as well.
What do you mean behave better? Have you ever visited city like Birmingham, Manchester or Leeds. I am sure you will change your mind of nice behaving of English people if you visit these places in an evening time.
I think in general, the population of the UK have completely lost all ideas of an 'improving;' future, regardless of who they could 'vote' for. There is certainly none of the excitement I had felt for the future when I was a teenager back in the 1960's
They express that through the ballot box. What do you do in China if unhappy. Say working in a city where you have no Hokou status and so separated from your family?
To be honest Shrewsbury was made known to those who follows British soccer even though the club was not that successful save for some good results against those better known teams.
I suspect the problem with the UK government/local councils is they are staffed by not very intelligent or efficient officials. As a result, funds are being wasted. Just look at the proposed HSR, how many years has it been in the "Planning" stage?? And have you noticed how depressing and dirty Victoria Station and all the Underground stations are? I wonder when was the last time they have been cleaned?
I’m guessing many of them didn’t travel further than European countries so their minds are not “learned”. Or they’re just not paid enough to bother. 🤷🏽♂️ China move along as a country, the west not so much due to “democracy” the majority has to agree.
UK and Europe actually is a very beautiful place. So many historical sites. So many beautician sceneries. It's just unfortunate that the system doesn't seem to work anymore and weak leaders are elected to run the countries. Poor decision making and lost of sovereignty. You should absolutely stay in Shanghai. Totally understandable from all yours and other vloggers showing the rapid pace of development in China.
I don't think these videos are about balance or fairness. It's China is great UK isn't. We should all go to China? When China doesn't harass journalists and UN investigations, and is generally more open with no censorship then I may consider it.
@@Andy-P I thought he was just explaining his own decision, not recommending it to others. In any case, there is more evidence of the US/UK harrasing journalists (e.g., from RT, journalists reporting on the Gaza genocide) and UN investigations (e.g., of war crimes by American citizens) than there is of such conduct in China. We need to view the world more objectively.
@@Andy-P what a mean spirited comment. The guy is just explaining his own decision. I've followed him for years. Genuine guy. If I was doing a PhD in AI I would not do so in the UK. All the action is in the States and in China.
@@Andy-P There are two kinds of objectivitiy, "positional objectivity" (looking at the world from a given position), and "trans-positional objectivity" (looking at the world from many different positions). Both kinds of objectivity are needed. It's the same as objectivity in science and any other field of inquiry. There is also a need for impartiality, looking at the world from the perspective of an impartial spectator (e.g., God, historians from future generations). We can also use the Rawlsian "veil of ignorance", looking at the world without knowing in advance which role we find ourselves in. Try it!
It is sad really, the UK government could spend the money better. Why would they need any aircraft carrier, let alone two? It's also very expensive to keep the royalty. Of course, Brexit is beyond stupidity.
it's a completely different system, in china govt projects aren't always about making profit, HSR and other infrastructures are about enabling and empowering ordinary people to live a better lives, strangely communism in china is a govt of, for by the people....and china don't need daily propaganda, the people can see it, can feel it, can touch it, and can actually get on it, ride it and so on.
The UK has been ridiculous with its open borders making it unsafe. Let me know if this is true or not but there are more Indians owning property in the UK than the English.
In a democratic country, underperformance often leads to resignation. In China, failure can result in rebellion and potentially put their life at risk. They govern with their lives .
Your expertise will be in demand in China and your career prospect will be better there too. UK NHS is in a bad state. I don’t think they can offer you same opportunity. Also Shanghai is a more exciting city for young people like you. Your home town is very beautiful but it is like a museum; all about the past and lack modern vibrancy. Good for retirement though.
He went to China to get his PhD. Why do you even bring up this nonsense? You think he is like those people who travel to Thailand and Philippines for some XXX tour? He is a scholar and travels to China for studying, not some playboy looking for girlfriend.
Your hometown is very beautiful. It's the same in Australia, it takes absolutely forever to get anything done (they've been talking about a train to Melbourne airport for the last 2 decades...). I think China will offer you so many opportunities for someone who's very own minded like you 😀
China is showing the world how its done in all aspects. Shame only a small amount of people are noticing. Best country in the world in my opinion. good luck in China you lucky lad
