@Emi I was verbally abused by an old HK lady when I studied in Australia. What she said sounded very racist although we are asian if not Chinese. My HK landlord simply did not want to have anything to do with me expect for collecting the rent monthly. I can't say all HK people are rude to mainlanders because I did meet some nice guys who were willing to help at any time. To my big suprise, Taiwanese people turned out to be very compatible with mainland Chinese. HK people should abserve and approach people without involving politics and stereotypes. I am trying not to generize people wherever I go. We need people like you.

As a Chinese who has lived in a country other than China for a long time, I have been tired to see the cruel misunderstanding of China in the Western media every day. I don't even want to explain it to anyone now. Enjoy your life in China, I am actually quite jealous.

People are so kind even I am a banana. There's so many conflicts based on our news, real chinese are so happy, they been living on higher standard than our OZ does They teach me from the scratch. So many wonderful memories and experiences. Especially during the COVID-19 outbreak, Chinese people believe all the humans' live are matters. I did receive loads of helps from local communities, now I am finally back to Australia, but I felt safer when I was in China, I don't know why, can't explain it.

How can you be a second-generation Australian, but not a native speaker of English? From your syntax, you are obviously not a native speaker. (Ex: "Why don't you. . . " "lives are matters (n)," vs. "lives matter (v)" "even I am," instead of "even though I am." I wholeheartedly agree with the point the video makes that Chinese people are kind and friendly; this has been my experience both in China and in the U.S. No matter what someone's political beliefs are, I think they'd have similar experiences interacting with Chinese. I just don't understand why the internet is full of Chinese posters who jump to defend China by writing as overseas 2nd gen Chinese or foreigners, when they clearly aren't. There just isn't any need to be anything less than genuine to defend such an easy-to-agree-with topic like this. (I'd never criticize a non-native speaker for some small syntax issues like these. I just mention them as tell-tale signs that someone was not born and raised in Australia.)

I have been to China. I have met a few rude people, but that is expected no matter where you go. There are bullies in China, I've seen a couple (also helps that I can speak the language). I did not experience any robberies, but I was pick pocketed, so there is crime. Racists: Well, there are prejudices, especially to those who do not speak Mandarin (I speak Cantonese primarily, but am able to speak Mandarin). If a person does not speak Mandarin, but speak another dialect, to some, you are not considered "real" Chinese. One of my Chinese friends had told me that Mandarin from Taiwan is not real Chinese. They don't speak real Chinese. Go figure. As for drugs, it depends on where you are. Jackie Chan's son was charged for drug possession. You have to know where to look. As a whole, most of the people are good. I found it wasn't as bad at night, but I still was on the cautious side. It was probably due to being brought up to be aware of my surroundings because anything can happen in an instant.

Standards of living are relatively low. People there are very nice and non americanised. Put it this way, cars get right of way there, not pedestrians. Beware of that one.

Top 2 pros of China are convenient and safety. When I went to China, I realized it was unhealthy to have to worried about safety issues in the States at night. In China, I didn't need to stay alert and it was so common for people to hangout at night in parks. There were many activities going on at night apart from drinking and parties. Online shopping could be delivered the same day. No extra membership fee like Amazon Prime, which still takes 2-3 days to deliver in most cities. And the delivery fees for restaurants are nothing in China, compared to a fixed fee plus 15% tips. Of course I'm willing to pay more to delivery guys.

Congratulations on this big milestone! Glad you enjoy living in China!

There's another reason that people often take for granted and can't see it through without some serious brainstorming: Hope. Hope makes living in China much much more attractive. See, we humans live on hope, which makes life so much easier and frankly so much happier as a result. Since China is one of the very few, if not the only, major countries that advance in leaps and bounds, most people living in China have hopes , realisticly believing that tomorrow will be even better than today. In the streets you constantly witness that hope by the sheer energy and speed of the society advancement, BIG smiles (literally) in in so many faces, and optimistic spirits from all walks of life 24X7, every day, and every year... This is not so in many other countries, even in Europe, where uncertainty about tomorrow or the day after tomorrow is almost always in the air for many people. This makes life more dulling, more tendency towards violence, and sometimes less bearable.

If you can't provide your fellow men/women real hope, give them fake hope. 1967 When the US was loosing VN war, 4-star gen. William Westmoreland: "We can see the light at the tunnel now". Few months later, when the US embassy in Saigon was infiltrated & under brutal attack, Walter Cronkite: "We were told that we've won the war" on CBS News. Early April, Covid 19 blew up in USA, Trump tweeted again: Light at the end of the tunnel. then US recorded 3,331 deaths and 81,740 cases when Trump light shinned at the tunnel. Now 10th Sept, the total death was 191,000 & 6.38 Million total case Is the light still shinning at the end of the tunnel.

Safe is a very relative term, covering many things. Food safety and hygiene, China can be unsafe. Honest prices from vendors, China is unsafe with the unsuspecting being cheated often. On the road, China is unsafe. Reckless driving, unqualified and uninsured drivers are common. Ever heard of children being snatched and disappearing in China? Parents are nervous to let kids out of their sight for this reason. Ever read the stories about weird mental dudes attacking kids with knives in kindergartens? Buying things and shopping online for branded products is unsafe with fake and counterfeit products everywhere. Protection with law and legal issues? Wildly unpredictable and so unsafe. Health issues ranging from respiratory illness to silly things like sunburn during scorching hot summers, China is again unsafe. Pickpockets in busy streets, wandering hands swiping things in Internet cafes, yep ... common in unsafe China. However, if you are a foreigner who walks around drunk at 1am frequently, you will encounter less aggressive drunks and street crime than at home. But on all the other issues mentioned, I 100% believe my UK hometown is far safer .... based on my many years in China from 2006 to 2019 in Hainan, Yangshuo and Beijing. "China is safe" is a common and untrue sentence. Which is why Chinese buy milk powder from foreign countries, warn people to avoid street food places who reuse oil, are nervous of buses and travel during Spring Festival and panic about kids being snatched.

welcome to China dude

I really like your list! I have lived in Beijing for almost 3 years and I am I glad I picked it over Shanghai and Hong Kong. The convenience is definitely something unique, especially since that convenience does not come at a cost, like in the west. And I love the public bikes! Cost of living in Beijing is much lower than you'd expect from a major city, which makes paying that higher rent a bit of a shock. From what I've seen, the rents are on par with those in EU capital - Brussels, Belgium- and the quality is almost as bad. If you move outside the city, you can find amazingly cheap apartments that are sparkling and brand new, but then you are subjected to a time-draining daily commute to work in the city. Food, culture, language, and travel are my top 4 reasons, so we practically agree there. Great list, Yvon. Keep up the great work!

I love China. I visited China for business three times and would love to live there for 3 months to learn the culture, language and travel. Love your channel too.

Beautiful country . I also live around 10 years now

People are nice, kind, pretty harmless, and not crazy there 😝

Beautiful ❤️ China. I love China from nepal.

Totally agree with you, I am absolutely amazed how much China has improved. Thanks for sharing your experience, love to hear more from you.

I was in Chongqing summer 2008 we hired a driver and drove from Chongqing to Chengdu then to Lanzhou and back. Lots of cool small towns and villages. I went back in 2010 Beijing, HK, Macau, Guangzhou, vibrant cities but my favorite was Chongqing what an amazing beautiful complex city. Amazing!’

Wonderful sharing. Enjoy your life in China and keep up the good work.

Love ur channel Yvon....learning n enjoying a lot. Am an overseas Chinese in d Phils. Haven't travelled much in China because of short stays only. Enjoy ur life there. 😉😉

The Chinese way of life seems different, when I was there I ate in a cafeteria often and ate street food. The travel interesting but things are even more modern now. In Dalian, where I lived 2009, the city was modern but less modern than Beijing. The housing was abundant and improving. The people were helpful and less outgoing than now. Biking was difficult although was possible. The trains were slower and people were flying a lot. The beaches were crowded but the parks were easily accessed and comfortable. The sights there are unique and the experience incredible. Lots of food in the shops could be found at good prices. Your life in the city seems more distinctive than life in smaller cities. Ten years is a long to spend in the country. I spent seven months there. I know Holland., I have family there. You must like living in China to live there so long.

That was pretty damn good, thanks for sharing your knowledge with us
