I bought a Chinese car so you don't have to!
In West Slovakia, born and raised,
On the playground was where I spent most of my days,
Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool,
And suddenly started to take some chinese classes at school.
When a couple of Jackie Chan movies that were so good
Started to influence my adulthood,
Out of a sudden I got in an a plane and my mom got scared
She said, "You're movin' to China?!."
Well, yes.
I studied Sinology at the University and moved to China in 2009. I worked as a Chinese interpreter for over ten years (for example, interpreting for the Chinese president, premier, as well as Jackie Chan). I founded a travel agency that organized trips to unconventional destinations in China. Today, I make videos about China in Slovak on my KZread channel “Pavel Dvořák - Cesty Čínou” and in English on this channel. I also filmed and produced a twenty-four-part travel documentary series about China for Slovak Radio and Television. My debut book “Moja čínska dekáda” (My Chinese Decade) was selected as the book of the year 2022, became one of the best-selling books in Slovakia, and was nominated for several prizes, some of which it won. It has also been translated into Czech. In 2024, I published my second book, which is currently being sold in Slovakia. My goal is to reach at least 100K subscribers on this channel and then bring those books to the English market as well. So, subscribe to help me achieve that!

I am happy that we are starting to have a small community here :) For all my US viewers, you can see imperial metrics in subtitles. I used AI to convert it; hopefully, it was right. I have no idea how to use your crazy metrics ;-) Also, we are halfway to monetization of my channel. It would be a great help if you could share this video. Or just watch next video from my channel so we increase watch time; that way, KZread will recommend this video further. Thanks ;-)

Tank 300 is getting big here in Australia. My partner and I love it. Haven’t done the real hardcore tracks yet. But so far it’s been amazing through some off road tracks.
This car is actually a pick-up truck morphed into a wagon. Some cities don't allow pick-ups to enter the city centre. This one has no such problem. It's also an ideal work vehicle because of the huge boot size ans AWD. I can see a lot of interest from overseas buyers.

Thank you very much!
2.5KKg and only 1 litre/10km is quite good for that monster, nice buy for great price!
I don't why KZread pushes me this video but this is definitely a wonderful journey, the local coffee farmers and their harvesting.

Wow! They have servicing at the gas stations (used to be called, "gas services" or "petrol service stations"). We don't see them any longer in Australia and the elderly with bad backs and shaky legs have to do their own - fill up, check the water, tyres, etc by themselves.
Wow! A famous KZreadr! Nice video!
nice video

You should choose the diesal version.
One suggestion: please translate the price of the car into US dollars

Prices in USD at 4:38 and 8:53. Didn’t you watch the video ?
👍👍👍
The title is completely misleading.
It looks like you bought a good car And you are recommending it right? So Title of this vlog should be changed to “ I Tested it and I recommend you get one too!”

Fun adventure
I have a Haval Dargo 1.5T 2021 model.
Heard of the key bridge? Waterproof cars save lives, and EVs can be easily waterproofed. Some BYD models are waterproof. You want EVs, even EVs made in China, if you want to live. After all, the American military cannot resist the benefits of electric vehicles. Otherwise, the US soldiers will have to drive internal combustion vehicles to fight the Chinese driving EVs. The power is one reason, the small heat signature is two, easy waterproof is three, the small noise is four, and the small cost is five. The list goes on and on. Two things must be considered regarding a war between the US and China since they have already changed warfare: drones and electric vehicles. In these two areas, the US and China are close, and maybe China is slightly ahead of the US. For example, an electric tank is practically infrared stealth compared with an internal combustion tank. After all, the tank's engine is a huge heat source and a target. I am quite sure that the Chinese military will drive electric vehicles, if not already. Now, BYD makes cars in Mexico. The Mexican police will soon drive electric cars to chase criminals' multimillion-dollar sports cars. As a result, the drug dealers must also drive electric cars. So, military, police, and criminals are driving EVs, men must follow, and only left the old pussies want to drive an internal combustion vehicle.
send me to Malaysia boleh 😁
Nice
