Now Ms Bachelet came visit and her own words are, she can visit anywhere she wants and meet anyone she wants, and does not see any HR violations. But this makes US gov unhappy, and said the visit didn't achieve its goal (of smear campaign).

To name a few, highly efficient government with a long-term view of the country, the constantly evolving technologies that change every aspect of your life, the better environment (I can finally see the natural beauty of China that only exists in my grandmother's story about the old time), and of course, the convenient life (in this aspect, living in the UK really sucks because the Internet services are not really connected to all parts of your life, and Amazon sucks too).

作为一名中国人，我觉得西方媒体指控的西藏和新疆人权问题非常滑稽。实际上，藏族和维吾尔族人民作为中国的少数民族之一，他们在中国别说受压迫了，根本是有特权的存在。 举几个简单的例子，早些年对汉族人民管理十分严格的计划生育，对藏族和维吾尔族是非常宽松的，汉人不被允许生育超过一个孩子，他们是可以两个三个的；对全国高中生最重要的考试高考，藏族和维吾尔族同学都可以加10分，要知道在几百万考生中，这10分的价值几何；还有，为了普及西藏新疆的教育，政府非常鼓励优秀的人民教师去援疆援藏，所有参与这项工作的教师可以得到很大的优惠补贴政策以及荣誉。 诸如此类政策还有许多，不夸张地说，少数民族在中国过得比汉族人民好的多。 另外，维吾尔族人口在2000年时数量为834.56万人，2020年时达到1162万人，20年间增长了近40%，反观汉族人口2000年约为11.8亿，2020年约为12.8亿，仅增长8%。如果政府对维吾尔族实施人口灭绝政策，那维吾尔族是怎么以汉族人口5倍的增长速度增长的？中国目前面临着严峻的人口出生率低下的问题，如果政府真的对维吾尔族人民实施了“种族灭绝”政策，那他们大可对汉族老百姓也实施起来，这样就不怕老百姓不愿意生二胎三胎啦，人口可以5倍于现在的速度增长，不是吗？

Been many times to both China and the USA. The difference is a time window with the feeling that China is civilization in the 21st century.

Thank you so much for posting videos like this kind considering the general public hostility Americans have to China. I am an ordinary citizen from Taiwan province, as some of you put it very well, each province in China is extremely diverse, each province has its own special local culture.

And just wanna tell you our ordinary Chinese people's mind, we like American people and know a lot of about this country and would always like to know about America, besides we are Chinese and Americans, we are human beings, we always believe we share much more in common than our differences.

It is encouraging to see videos like this to dispel the fearmongering that is currently pervasive in the western media in the last few years.

once you really know China and Chinese, you'll understand there'll be bit of discrimination but in general, Chiniese don't hate, they embrace, respecting each other, be responsible to ourselves and to others, be part of the community and enjoy life overall

I am neither American nor do I live in China, but as an ageing Englishman who has spent his life living and working all around the globe, I have a good positive perspective on stuff - I hope!! And having studied Chinese Political History at Uni, I jumped at my first opportunity of travelling to China some years ago. Since then I have, collectively, probably spent 3.5 years in China, Hong Kong and Macau (I work as a freelancer, so numerous short-ish trips of several months at a time). I adore China and its' people and culture, however there is one thing that scares the living daylights out of me. The Food!! I LIKE MY FOOD DEAD BEFORE IT GETS TO THE TABLE, PLEASE!!! bDamn, you need a VERY open mind to eat freely in China. They eat anything who's back/spine faces the sky - so basically - ANYTHING!!. And on my very very first meal in China on my first visit, I was invited by a local supplier - as the honourable foreigner - to a slap-up meal with the company's top management in a local restaurant. A separate room had been booked, and there were 14 of us all around this table, when the food started to arrive (as it does endlessly in China!!) and in front of me this sea-faring creature was actually LOOKING at me from within this broth shit that had arrived. IT WAS DEFINITELY ALIVE AND CONSCIOUS!! So I took a VERY deep breath and tried to be invisible. But nobody was doing anything. There was silence all around the table, and everyone was looking at me! I thought - WTF is going-on here? I asked my Chinese PA "What's happening Charlie?" to which he replied - "You are honoured guest. They are waiting for you to take the first serving!" H E L P ! ! I thought to myself. So I asked Charlie "what the hell is this?" and he shrugged his shoulders and said he didn't know! So I asked if it was normal to not know what you are eating, to which he replied something I will NEVER forget - "In China the food arrives and we eat! We don't necessarily know what it is, but after so many years of hardship through the centuries, we appreciate our food here". And it is true - anywhere you go in China, there is food for sale and people are eating. ENDLESSLY EATING!! What a fascinating culture and people.... Such a shame the Americans UTTERLY fail to understand the Chinese back home in the US... They keep making the same mistake over and over again all over the world, but I'm not going to go down THAT rabbit hole today!!!

I’m glad to hear anecdotes on people’s good experiences in living in China. Though interesting to note how often foreigners are willing to give up citizenship as currently permanent net migrations still flow out to other countries.

everyone has his own reason. important is that you all enjoy your lifes

a refreshing view of China by americans... contrary to the constant crap we hear in the msm

Amazing video

thans for you imput enjoy and keep the good work 😢

Great video now you make me want to go to the US not that I would qualify. I do appreciate the safety here that can’t be said about a lot of people. I haven’t been to Tibet seems nice

Gotta go there!

Cool!
