我最佩服的就是中国从未打动过战争,用自己的勤劳智慧,创造了现在的美好生活。也尽自己的能力帮助其他国家发展,帮助其他国家的人民,让他们也越来越好,东方文化的魅力在于他们友善,团结,没有毒品,没有枪支,人民安居乐业又安全。

I had so much fun and it was my sixth time there and I always have fun and love going back and returning to see the same friendly people and travel around to the small towns and experience a whole other part of the world
China’s culture is unique, diverse, mature, kind and hospitable, though it gets more and more powerful, what it will offer the world is prosperity that anyone in the world could appreciate, rather than wars and exploitation that anyone could suffer, which is really different from the situation that some countries you know who once brought the world.
The happiest people are living in china
As a BBC journalist, I can't handle this. No one looks repressed. On the ground, China is more fantastic than the UK. Time to swap jam and scones for delicious dim sum. 😂

The Chinese jokingly call BBC = Blaming Blaming China. Because they always use individual Chinese people who are dissatisfied with China as interviewees to create the illusion that the whole of China is like this. For example, a real estate project failed and they used it to create fake news about ghost towns in China. This is a common method used by Western media to create fake news.

The BBC's "underworld filter" has become a household name in China. It is very disgusting to demonize China.
I salute the perfection of the way you painted a beautifull picture of China and its great people. Thank you. Yes it's true what you said that in some places you can drink better coffee than in Italy, this was possible because the Chinese employed Italian specialist and achieved top top quality. You can find this kind of cafeterias in gorgeous Xiamen city. Gregor Your video is truly great Thanks mate. I know you telling the truth because the last 20 years I live in China
