Yet, Russia has Worldwide Internet, and people can check things out! It annoys Putin to no end, and he is a proponent of cutting his citizens off the Worldwide Internet, such as is done in China! He knows, though, that people would take to the streets if he tried! I don't know how Chinese people view their Govt, how much trust they have! It's a very corrupt Govt, though, also! And with lack of Worldwide Internet and lack of Independent Media, the Chinese Citizens are sitting ducks to the Govt propaganda, disinformation and misinformation, etc! Also, any journalist or lawyer in China that uncovers official corruption or certain issues, publically, is likely to be punished, even imprisoned! No such danger in the West! As well that such steep Govt corruption actively robs the people of China! Instead of helping rural people, and other disadvantaged citizens, creating jobs, starting organizations to help them, etc etc, the large amount of money goes into the officials' pockets and banks!

The other was a lady who was knocked off her e-bike by a truck turning right across her path. She was not seriously injured but she was in shock and the bike was crushed. Once again, I was the only one who went out to help her off the road to sit on the curb while many local people stood and watched.

Stop being hypocritic. Don't relate everything to "China has a bad system", so people behave bad and differently there. That is totally bullshit. In most western metropolis, when people run into you on the street, they will keep walking without saying sorry, rude as fck. As to the apathy he talks about in the video indeed exists, but mostly in some of the less developed areas in China. However, why doesn't he talk about the countless cases when Chinese people help each other in similar situations? Because he talks with prejudice, his intention is to make China look bad. So he can only see the negative part of China. And very likely this is what he makes a living right now. Again, people seem to always enjoy talking about people in a specific country as they are all the same. Bad guys are evenly distributed in every country. If you get lost in China, most people will kindly help you get to where you want to go.

As for why I stayed 5 years (7 actually, but the last consecutive stint was 5), it was an act of charity. I possess a vital job skill that the Chinese not only do not domestically possess but cannot domestically produce, and I was rendering this skill to a poor, underdeveloped throwback country. I also love how your best rebuttal includes an admission that you have less experience with the subject you're arguing about, than the guy you're arguing with. During your three years in this "okay" country, how much of the language did you learn? Or, to put it another way, how well do you really understand what the locals are saying when they think you're not listening? How much of their literature have you read? How much of their philosophy? How much of their government-sanctioned "patriotic education" dogma have you read? I'm asking rhetorically. The answer to every question is "well, not as much as you did, Rob." If you think China was "okay," you weren't paying attention. And spare me the "your information is out of date" garbage, because my last stint there didn't end until the Covid outbreak.

Jesus. This story explained an issue I had in the past. I'm American, white, from Cleveland Ohio. Met an Ecuadorian girl in college and we started dating. I speak fluent Spanish so no translation issues. I went to Ecuador. Always had a great time with her family.... until the wealthy cousins from Hong Kong came. We were all at dinner and they were so horrendous to the waiter that I almost got into a verbal argument with them over it. They sent their food back for no reason, complained to the waiter and when they got their food they did not say thank you. I purposefully yelled thank you to the waiter in front of everyone because their behavior was intolerable to me. This was a 20 something person dinner and I got backlash from my now ex gf because I was in the wrong in her mind. But no. I'm American. All people are divine in nature in my beliefs and I will never give that up. I am almost never angry but this infuriated me. They humiliated this waiter and I was not going to allow them to do that without my retaliation.

I thought the same thing. Don't give in to their bullshit ideologies. The way they might claim others are racist for criticizing their awful behaviour and how nobody isn't Chinese isn't allowed to have an opinion on China / Chinese politics is just learned talking points. Gotta love when they call themselves minorities when you're telling a story about being European / Western staying in their country with 1,3 billion Chinese.

It’s called “Bystander Effect”. Basically for us in the west when we see someone in distress we automatically try to help that person. In China the mentality is “its not someone I know so why should I care” or “its not my business, so I don’t want to bother with it, let someone else deal with it”. It’s society wide apathy syndrome. Remember the case of Yueyue, the 2 year old girl who got hit by a car twice in a row because nobody bothered to help her out until she perished. In an interview with the driver, he basically said if she died, he would only pay 20,000 yuan in penalties, if she lived and is crippled he had to pay 100,000 yuan. It’s a heartless society devoid of compassion. And I agree, Taiwan is completely different, people actually care. Traditional Chinese values are intact in Taiwan while in China it is decimated and replace with extreme materialism.

If you don't know about that history, please check it out before denying its damage on morality. Regular hard time might tie people together, but this is different. I think these communism political movements really crushed the trust between people. You couldn't trust your family and friends because you wouldn't know if they were going to report you to the party for a tiny little thing you've said offhandedly. There were parents persecuted to death, reported by their own children. Some of the children cheered for the persecutors because they were brainwashed to believe that they were doing the most rightful thing in the world, and that they were being selfless, willing to report their own parents. It's a sickness still haunting Chinese people to these days. Crazy kids grew up to be parents and raised traumatized kids. Traumatized kids grew up to be parents and raised broken kids. It takes generations to suck out the toxicity little by little, and even if they success, they would be a people with no culture of their own. It's been uprooted completely.

I tried my absolute best to understand Chinese culture whilst living there. However, everything you've highlighted in this video really got to me and I made the decision to leave last year. One situation really stood out to me. When I arrived, I tutored a teenage boy who was planning to attend university in the UK the following year. His mother took me under her wing & would often invite me to dinner at their home. I'll never forget the time (one and only time) we went out to eat together. The waitress came over (and I was so excited to use my mandarin to order our food ). After we placed our order, I was attacked by my student's mother and her best friend for engaging the waitress and essentially being friendly, nothing more. This simple action of basically just being a nice human towards a great waitress was so severely frowned upon. There were so many incidents like those you have described, but this most basic action caused my host family to lose face and caused me a lot of embarrassment! Definitely felt like I'd landed on an alien planet at that point.

In establishments where the management have made it clear that they don't want their employees to feel like they have to put up with such awful conduct, these jerks would simply be kicked out. In establishments where the staff aren't sure whether the managers would stand behind them under such circumstances, however, and that's probably most establishments, the staff would go ahead and serve them all right, but they might serve them something that would serve them right! :-)

I feel like you touched on something I couldn't quite put into words myself. Living here and being aware of the atrocities that have occurred and are occuring under the rule of the CCP is surreal because my close Chinese friends do not seem to care or educate themselves on the issue. "What will happen if I know more? What will change?" is their response. I think your comments on needing incentive relate to this thought process very much. Another friend of mine has stated that she is proud that China is growing in power, despite the unorthodox and unethical methods by which they achieve them. It truly is a totally different mindset because general regard for human life is not as apparent in China as it is in other parts of the world. Great video - thanks for the insight

Curious about your working industry and the seniority of your colleagues as I’m working and living on both sides of China and UK although usually I including most of my friends say thank you or sorry on these public occasions. However, I’d say this scenario is a mindset thing rather than culture thing. Eg: Chinese especially traditional ones barely say thank you to families nor close friends as they won’t take the relationship genuine if they say so. They would more likely believe what people act than speak to some extent. And on some occasions the response is “it’s all right and it’s my job to so do” if you say thank you because they do sincerely take the work/service/achievement they do as a responsibility so don’t need to be praised that much, which also explains the traditional Chinese motto: Being modest/humble is a morality.

If you’re a human you “deserve” to have an opinion on other humans / humanity - ESPECIALLY if you’re informed on the human/s and culture like this guy. And actually, it’s pretty important for people to have an informed opinion about other people / cultures so they can use that deeper understanding and apply it to geopolitics, understanding the news, politics, policies, voting, etc. (not to mention befriending and relating one on one).

I think that's where Western cultures Clash with the Chinese opinion because we can self analyze and find issues with our own behavior and see that as productive, I don't believe this is done in Chinese Society. Americans criticize their own country and culture all the time so when we see issues and others we tend to do the same though we do attempt to do it more respectfully then when we critique ourselves(well depending, the older generation can occasionally be racist😥). but the reality is we're just from a place where we have the freedom to discuss these things, so we do believing that every aspect of humanity can be improved!

I appreciate you speaking out about the behaviour within China! I was living and working out there for six years. I recently returned to the UK. While working as a teacher I felt a moral responsibility to encourage children to make better choices instead of covering up their actions to protect their image. I can recall a story from my first year working in China. I was in Guangzhou, Tian He walking down the street and I saw a man pull a jacket out of his bag. Unfortunately his wallet spilled out onto the floor and he didn't notice and kept walking. I responded quickly by pointing to it and alerting him in English. He turned around, saw it and picked it up. We then shared eye contact but he didn't smile or attempt to communicate. He walked away and I felt confused by this action. As a way of rationalising it I chose to think that the eye contact was a way of saying thank you. Later I came to think that perhaps this was a strange situation for him as it was for me because of the lack of selfless acts of kindness.

About an hour later I saw a Black man looking under cars. I asked him what he was looking for and he said he was looking for his wallet. I asked him his name and it matched the name I had seen on his driver's license so I gave him the wallet. He was very happy, saw that nothing was missing from his wallet, and told me 2 or 3 times "You are a good woman." His compliment stayed with me for days.

@Andre Knowledge357 .....yes, The SPIRIT OF GOD is within CHINA. The BORN-AGAIN believers and followers of MESSIAH JESUS, are in CHINA.....proclaiming SALVATION to the lost and perishing. JESUS CHRIST the Lord, desires that no one perish, but come to REPENTANCE OF SIN. Ref 2 PETER 3:9. Amein. BELIEVE, and you too, shall be SAVED.

i'm late to this video but thank you ! This was very therapeutic for me personally as i lived in China for 10 - 11 years and it changed me forever.

I remember the same reaction to the dead taxi driver which I had in Taipei on the overpass by the station where at the top of the steps was a guy lying on the floor dying from Aids & everyone was just literally stepping over him like he was just litter...it stopped me in my tracks...

"the dead taxi driver which I had in Taipei on the overpass by the station" What? You mention this and segue into talking about someone dying of AIDS. What was the reaction to the taxi driver?

This is really quality content! Big respect to the bravery you display and for opening my eyes for some of things happening in China.

It's very interesting. As a Chinese who lives in China more than twenty years I never saw a dead people on the street. The only time I saw a people fall in coma on the street my mom covered my eyes and took me away. I remember how sad she was and told me must be careful on the street.

Yup，I feel the same way although I’m a Chinese fr mainland China.

I just got off a bus with my 96 year old father here in Hong Kong. I was holding onto him while carrying the folded wheelchair and a young man tried to push pass my father to get off first, and a middle age lady tried to do the same thing on the other side of me trying to slip pass to be off the bus first. While there were some very considerate people all around, there were all the ones like these two showing extremely rude and inconsiderate behaviors. Of cos my first reaction, being very protective of my father, was to block them from squeezing pass and possibly pushing my father aside; I also cursed out loud in English as a reflex and then in Chinese telling them to stop pushing pass us! No apologies, no emotions as if their actions were perfectly acceptable! I might be considered a racist or even a 'banana' but from all my travels, I felt I experienced these kind of behaviors more here in Hong Kong, from Chinese, than I have stateside or most other places! Whatever happened to the Chinese traditions of respecting elders, showing consideration of others and proper behaviors and conducting one self with pride and respect!!!? The cultural revolution of the sixties led by Mao really destroyed what was good of many of our traditions and the current communist government never bothered to re instill them back into new generations, rather concerning itself with political educations of the youth like they are now trying to do in HK! For that, shame on the CCP.

@Hardy Harhar... The Europeans had little to do with the erosion of our revere cultures and everything to do with the culture revolution! It turned a generation against the elder generation, with children turning in their parents, students set against their teachers, temples and cherished landmarks destroyed, eliminating ranking systems in the military, history rewritten, etc. My grandfather lost everything he worked hard for, when the communist government simply commandeered all. I guess I should consider myself lucky to have missed those turbulent time; my parents brought their kids up properly despite living thru the hardships of WW2 and then gave us a chance for a better future in the US. In closing, I would not put blames on current generations but on the government itself. People live their lives being influenced and indoctrinated by the CCP. How could they not be whom they are, living under such government!? There is a Chinese saying, of a frog living in a well- all the frog could see was the little patch of sky when looking up. Chinese living under CCP rules only get to see the rest of the world what was allowed them and nothing more.

Because of the cultural revolution it created a destruction of traditional values, family values. Also because everyone was afraid of the CCP government many also learn to lie and cheat just to appease the government. Also many people during the cultural revolution turn against each other. Friends against friends, student against teachers, children against parents just to appease Mao Zedong. And it was encouraged by the government.

I don't think you are entirely correct... The Chinese have intensely strong family and friend values. Guanxi (gwan shee: relationships/connections) is at the very center of each of their lives. It is their actual value system. However, this value does not apply to complete strangers. At all. The difficult thing for a Chinese individual to establish is whether a new connection is sincere or cynical, as is often the case.

That Fart Of Doom meant:- I do agree southern China like Guangdong and GuongXi has more stronger concept of family values and also traditions. But keep in mind they were also farther away from the capital as well and historically took longer to adapt to whatever changes from the capital from the north especially since they are so far away. Southern China were the last to get influenced by the Mongol empire and the last be to influenced by the Manchu too. Also the south founded the Koumintang party and also still had many supporters in the southern region even after Mao took over. Many in the south are still loyal to close families vs the state.

As a guy who grew up in China and immigrated to US for 30 years, I cannot survive in China at all because I cannot lie, cheat, living like a pig or steal like the rest of the people. I saw some of my co-workers from US who went back to China as "high-level" foreign expert, got ahead there mainly by "hu you" (bragging or exaggeration), which I could not do,. Anyway, good show and very revealing.

I like the narrator in the foreground with the full screen video running behind him. Good idea.

Hence, they will usually try to tackle the most contentious issues to get the most views and people like us talking about it. What country were you raised in your childhood years and what age did you go to China and for how long? Did you feel any of these things he speaks of or did you find it entirely opposite?

Thank you for this video. It helps me more to understand Chinese culture. It kind of ironic when they say something like "All Chinese-one China" and then just don't care about the person next to them...I was born in a communist country, but people had "more heart", they would help you if you in trouble. This video makes me sad and confused...

Excellent video, keep it up. Explanations are very good.

Awesome vid buddy. Keep positive. You and your wife keep doing your thing. Much RESPECT

I have been struggling with that myself. Now I live my life with that motto. I just ignore bullying, unfairness, violence and scams whenever it happens amongst Chinese people. One day I realised that if, for instance, I were to ever hear/witness domestic abuse amongst my neighbours I would probably turn a blind eye on it and certainly never call the police simply because I would be the one suffering the harshest consequences at the end. It's sad, but it's true.

A cement truck turned the corner and caught his head. Corpse with no head and blood pouring over the road. Myself and another guy found some carboard boxes and covered the body with cardboard. Thais were furious as most were filming and taking photos of the corpse. WTF.

I was a pizza delivery driver in karlsruhe south germany for about 2 years. It has a great university for tech stuff (KIT) therefore a lot of foreign students including many chinese. Long story short i delivered a lot of pizza to a lot of people and i never got a tip or even a smile out of any chinese person during that time. In fact i often felt like they looked at me with a sort of disgust hard to describe after a while i just assumed that tipping was just not a thing in China and maybe they dont smile or like smalltalk with strangers over there too. This video rly makes me think that they in fact looked down on me and didnt rly have even an ounce of respect and it was not just a cultural thing but blatant disrespect.

A thoughtful piece by a thoughtful American. Refreshing. We need all the thoughtful Americans we can muster in these dark days. Your empathy shines through and, judging from the overwhelmingly positive responses below, you have got it right. Anyone who criticises you for holding an opinion on a culture other than your own is not to be taken seriously. It would be equally foolish to say that a critic cannot have a legitimate opinion of a book he did not write. I'm reminded of Kipling's "What do they know of England who only England know?"

Thank you for this video. It made me start thinking again. As also mentioned before, cases such as "Yueyue" happened a lot when I grew up in China and these topics were quite hot. I agree with you that the lack of incentives from the system/ government/ society discourages people from helping strangers. In addition, I think the lack of basic social security system is also a reason why people would not want to help. When passers-by see incidents happen, I assume and believe people want to help. However, they may worry that the victim may scam them by putting all the responsibility to them since the suspect has gone. You can say that it is the lack of trust. But it is also because the victim might not be able to afford all the cost. Another reason comes from the effects of culture revolution- people do not trust each other anymore and learned to mind our own business. When I was in Taiwan I was really impressed by how kind and polite people are to strangers. I felt comfortable to be nice to people without any suspects and safe in Taiwan. I liked the way the police talked with me and offered to help me when I could not type in Taiwanese "pinyin". I liked the fact that Taiwanese teacher talked a lot about 同理心. I brought the habit of saying thanks to everyone who serves me or helps me back to China. So many good memories came back..... Thank you for pointing out so many problems and be true to yourself. You make me really want to write something on this, too.
