I live in China, been here for 11 years. Last September I visited my country of birth, (Australia) I attended two community meetings. At these meetings every person had a negative opinion about China. I decided to do a little test that I thought would give the people at these meetings something to think about. I asked the people for a show of hands if they thought their government and Main Stream Media lies to them, the response was, everyone raised their hand. So my question to them was, so all of you say that you know you are being lied to by your government and the media, but where China is concerned you think they are telling you the truth? At both meeting I could see and hear brain cogs working!

Hi Ken, I am Chinese. When you say you feel sorry for Chinese people that people from other countries, mainly western countries have very negative perspecitves on us, I felt the other way round. I feel sorry for westerners that they were deceived by the main media to believe in what they were told. They were deprived of the freedom to learn about the truth, about what is happening in the world. There is a Chinese saying, "One must understand your competitor and yourself in order to stay at a winning position in the long run." In a way, the western media is hindering the people and the country to learn and to advance.

One of the most ironic things is that the Chinese know that they have a network firewall, so they always tend to trust more external information to examine their own perceptions. Westerners always view China with arrogance and colored glasses, and any information that objectively describes China's advantages will be filtered. As a result, the group of people who really have a firewall have become the most objective in the world, while those who think they are objective do not realize that they have built a firewall in their consciousness.

People who have actually been to China should probably think about it. Not only are their views on China wrong, but their views on the Chinese Communist Party are also not objective enough. I once saw a sentence that was very interesting: "In other countries, you can easily change the political party but it is difficult to change the policy. In China, you cannot change the political party, but it is easy to change the policy." In fact, the Communist Party of China is a very efficient organization that actively listens to various opinions in society and adjusts quickly. This is why you see that China is always progressing and changing rapidly. The Communist Party of China is a political party that truly serves the majority of ordinary people.

It's a private company alright, but it's now a Singaporean company, not a mainland Chinese company. This is an important distinction here. Having a Chinese CEO for a company doesn't imply that the company is owned by mainland Chinese. One may argue that it was formally owned by the same parent company that owns DouYin, the Chinese equivalent of TikTok in the mainland. But look at the facts now: TikTok's owning company is based in Singapore, not in the mainland, and the CEO is a Singaporean, with a wife from the US. So, the politicians should just keep their hands off the business world and let the trade flourish instead.

Go to Jiuzhaigou in October! You can take a bus from Chengdu easily, and the scenery along the way is incredibly beautiful. The water in Jiuzhaigou is the most stunning I have ever seen in my life! ❤

Hi, Ken, I watched your travel videos in China and found them very interesting. The cities you visited make up less than 1% of China, and the essence of China lies not in these provincial capitals, but in the natural landscapes and historical sites that you seem to enjoy more. In your video, you mentioned that you plan to travel to China again in September or October. Here are some suggestions for you: 1. Fly to Shenzhen or Zhuhai first, bring your passport and driving license (with a Chinese translation), and apply for a temporary driving license at the Zhuhai/Shenzhen Traffic Management Service Center. This way, you can legally rent and drive a car in China. 2. Late September to early October is the best time to visit Kanas in Xinjiang, as well as the best tourist season for the Northern Xinjiang Grand Circle. Hemu Village is definitely worth a visit! It is one of the "100 must-visit places in China" as rated by China National Geographic. Travelers from all over China usually book hotels and plan their itineraries six months in advance, so you should start booking now.Xinjiang occupies one-sixth of China's land area, roughly equal to the size of 5 Germanys. Public transportation is not very suitable for traveling in Xinjiang, so you will need a temporary driving license and a rented car. The most beautiful scenery in Xinjiang is along the road while driving. Just stop anywhere to take photos, and you will get picture that could be used as postcards.However, traveling the Northern Xinjiang Grand Circle route from Urumqi and back will take about 15 days, which will consume your visa-free time. 3. China's G318 is recognized by China National Geographic as the "China Human Landscape Grand Avenue" and one of the world's top 10 famous national highways. G318 is a national highway from Shanghai to Lhasa, Tibet, passing through a variety of representative scenic spots such as urban landscapes, historical sites, natural landscapes, with elevations ranging from 0 to 5000 meters. Glaciers, lakes, mountains, forests, grasslands, and rivers can all be found along this highway. It is a lifelong dream for many Chinese people to travel the entire route and visit all the attractions, as it requires a long time to do so. If you plan to visit Chengdu, I suggest starting from there and renting a car to drive on G318 to Lhasa, Tibet. This segment is the most scenic part of G318, where you will traverse the plains to the plateau, encountering glaciers, mountains, plateaus, Southeast Asian rainforest climate, the source of Asian rivers, Tibetan culture, and other landscapes. It takes approximately 15 days to explore the attractions along G318. 4. If you come to China again, I recommend purchasing a translation device from iFlytek. Based on my testing, its Chinese-English or Chinese-German translations are very accurate and should facilitate your travels in China. Alternatively, you can download the YouDao Translate app (Logo looks like a bird's head) onto your phone. This is a very popular translation app in China. 5. In China, it is generally recommended to use Bing for search and Gaode map instead of Google Maps. These are my suggestions for you. I hope you can visit China again and have a great time.

I'm another Aussie (also from Sydney) who's travelled to China, making some 12 visits. You asked for suggestions, as to which other cities you should visit. I suggest Hangzhou (only 1 hour away on a fast train). My partner and I think it's one of the most beautiful cities we've been to. Try to stay near the lake, and experience the social life of the city. It's claimed that Marco Polo called it the "most beautiful city in the world." And another close to Shanghai city is Suzhou. Take a ferry trip around the many canals in the city. Suzhou is some 2000 years old, and there are some beautiful gardens. Nanjing also is "close" on High Speed train and has many historical sights to see. And Beijing also has lots of historical sites and is well worth a visit. Other cities I would like to visit in the future, are Chongqing (the WW2 capital) and Chengdu. I hope that I can get there before log. And there's lot's of small cities too that can be just as interesting. Hope you also enjoy seeing many of them.

My suggestion is, next time you visit China, don't just go to the cities; go see the natural scenery, such as Avatar Mountain (Zhangjiajie), Yunnan Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, Guilin Yangshuo; they are all extremely beautiful places.

Good unbiased video, the people of the country are friendly and the cultural experience is beautiful. The language can be a small barrier but communication is possible.

Visited in 2019. Had a ball. I was a bit nervous when I got there initially but that soon changed.The people were great and what surprised me the most was what a great sense of humor they have. Cleanest, safest, country I’ve visited with arguably the best transportation system in the world. My wife is a Mandarin speaker and has WeChat so that made everything easy. I’m looking forward to another trip soon.

Chinese apps is advantage, not a negative point, isn't it? Many countries you can't register to local apps if you're tourist. In china you can register alipay and be able to do everything: hotels, any tickets, order food in restaurant, delivery, pay anywhere, any street food or small shops

Preparing cash in advance is a must do in order to make sure you are actually able to do payments.

Hi Ken Having spent time in China myself, I too was blown away be the difference between what I was expecting to experience as a result of the mainstream media's reports on China, and what I actually experienced during my time there. Having been fortunate to be able to visit a number of countries in Europe, the middle East, Asia and the U.S . I would rate China as my equal number one favourite country alongside Japan. I love the way both countries have been able to blend thousands of years of tradition and culture with 22nd century technology, a high standard of living, with very high levels of safety and cleanliness. I also found the people to be extremely friendly and proud, with a very detailed knowledge of world events. unlike the ignorant, knuckle draggers that couldn't find China on a map even if was labelled, but in their delusional ignorance, feel that they are entitled to accuse you of being in the pocket of the Chinese Communist Party ( they always have to emphasise the Communist parts). When the reality is, that the U.S. government, through its three letter agencies, actually pay media reporters US $1,000 for every anti-China article that they publish. I believe that the money comes from the U.S state department via the National Endowment for Democracy

I just came back from China last week. Being Chinese but from Hong kong ...even i was amazed how beautiful and wonderful my trip to Shenzhen, Guilin and Zhuhai was ! 30 to 40 years ago .. shenzhen was a fishing village riddled with poverty and theft ......now im totally blown away . People are super helpful and nice. I had a wonderful private tour of all the sights in Guilin with an English speaking guide ! If you want to see some more rural mountains Guilin is a good beginners area as it is famous for tourism.

Hi Ken, thank you so much for sharing your honest views. Enjoyed your videos. Welcome back to China again. Maybe for the next trip, you can try autumn time, a beautiful season to explore both the city and the nature, and avoid holidays such as National Days as there will be huge crowds. I personally would recommend Sichuan and Yunnan Province, such as Chengdu, Jiuzhaigou, Huanglong, Daocheng, Dali, Xishuangbanna... Also my hometown Zhejiang Province, such as Hangzhou.
