Actually work ethics (working extremely hard) is a good trait to have, it's the reason why China is where it is today, from economically ranked nowhere 40 years ago to expectedly becoming the top economic super power in the world in couple of year's time. Working hard comes naturally for majority of the Chinese people and another fact is that there are differences between working hard willingly (happy to work) instead of being forced to work, with Harvard's research indicated above 90% of Chinese people approved of their government's method of governance which alleviated 800 million people out of poverty, it only showed their people were happily working. When they are happily willing to work, they'll go the extra mile which is something I don't see much in the western hemisphere.

Quite sure that another excellent reason for you to enjoy living in China is having your family there. The kids in China grow up in a very safe place. Education is taken seriously by everybody, and kids grow up in a forward looking country full of dreams and aspirations, yet steeped in rich history. I love that you have artistic eyes to frame the scenery which is quite different from other expats. While I also enjoy the political views of other expats like Lee and Jason, you just stay in the lane you are most comfortable with.

It was not so long ago, and only Deng Xiaoping saved the country from horror, allowed "bad" capitalism, without the investments of which China would have remained a medieval village.

I just found your channel today and I have to say your videos are great, love your attitude, love the images and the editing is amazing! You got yourself a new subscriber.

[@RafaGoesAround]

Welcome aboard!

[@gstlb]

Glad you’ve found a place you love. I hope future developments allow you to continue to prosper there.

[@kimmeelee9758]

Another AWESOME video, Rafa!! You're my #1 favorite China vlogger! This was one of your best videos thus far!

[@maggiema2777]

The content is awesome, even for me a Chinese who has lived in UK for past 9 years, it has made me busting into tears, I miss China so much, the longer I live here the more I realize how much I have taken her for granted before. I miss the people, the food, the fun life, convenient and modern infrastructures, it is truly an amazing place with history and innovations so we are going to sell everything here and move back home this summer, I am so excited 🎉

九年，你知道我这九年是怎么过来的吗？😂疫情后印度朋友来广州找我，我在便利店买东西刷脸支付都把他们给吓到了。他们19年底离开的，之前一直在广州，可以说对中国非常了解的，一个疫情的分离都可以产生很多的变化。你回来要适应很久

China is rapidly advancing as the most desirable place to live in.

[@jm7578]

I have never been paid a penny for what I have said about China. I always tell the truth. I lived in China for many years and I learn how to speak Chinese, I learned traditional martial arts not contemporary wushu, and made many memorable friends over there. It was an excellent experience and I would do it again. 我已經想念中國，每天在中國真有意思。

[@guytruth5598]

Wish your family will come for a visit of this great country.

[@SagittarianArrows]

A safe 5/6G country, where focus is on family & respect for elderly. Crime would not dare to surface due to the social credit. Looks like after 8 years your language skills, your child's opportunities are so wide that you made as a young father the best choice! Thanks for showing us around. Watching from Sydney.

[@johnsmith-cw3wo]

Crime surface when you are poor and lack possibilities. Social credit would not fix that if young people would have no good option than enter in a gang.

[@Joe-ye5mc]

There is massive crime in China. The prisons are overflowing

[@Masumink]

Social credit is more than just about deterring crime. It hinders mobility and freedom on many levels. And its coming to the U.S. and the rest of the world.

[@aaronrodgers9202]

5/6g rofl!! They don't even have real 5g they have a bunch of stolen repurposed chips from America and Taiwan from 2018 that provides their '5g'

[@Marcusmonkey2000]

I'd love a video on tips for students who want to move to China!

[@producer169]

When I was a college student, I went to Beijing as an exchange student - I went there to study Mandarin in exchange for one of their professors to come to my U.S. institution to study English for the entire academic year. I suggest you research similar programs; there are plenty out there.

[@stella9803]

I love your videos!! Absolutely breathtaking, beautiful gorgeous, China has reached another level of prosperity. That’s no doubt! I’m sure there will be people that are so jealous that don’t want to admit, don’t want to face the reality. But I enjoy your videos so much and appreciate you putting them together so nicely. So well done!!! Thanks for sharing❤❤❤

This is simply genuine and quite professional. Refreshing and inspiring. Gracias Rafa❣️

[@AskAntWhy]

I lived in Shenzhen for 12 years, then I took my Chinese family back to Canada while my daughter went to university there. After 7 years, as soon as the border opened to allow me back in after COVID, we are back, and very happily so! Now we live in a community with no foreigners and I feel like I am home. I completely understand!

[@Masumink]

your lucky because my white friends here in the US and in Europe have no homeland to go back to. Most Western countries are being filed up with foreigners. Plz pray for the West even though you love your own country, as others are gradually losing options.

[@ssxv3wst]

​@@Masumink lol they are not native to the Americas they can go back 2 Europe if they dnt like it ..🤣🤣 they are also foreigners no 1 cares how they feel n nobody go pray for em stop playing d victim card

[@waftbut]

Lucky fella. I'm stuck in North America, the Canada.

[@bladerunner.1984]

I lived in Shenzhen for 4 years myself and I agree with all the points you've mentioned here. However, there are few major points to consider when considering life in China. First of all, China green card, or permanent residence is notoriously hard to get, unless you have a few extra millions to throw into investment, or you're a Nobel prize winner. So, be prepared for family or work visa hustle every year, and hope there will be no covid or no change in regulations. Second - particularly in the cities like Shenzhen and Shanghai - you have to consider cost of life, and cost of real estate. Real estate prices in Shenzhen are insane, almost on the same level as Hong Kong. For me those were two major factors to consider other options in asia, particularly Thailand and Taiwan, which has a great residence program (Golden Card) for 3 years, with permanent residence after 3 years.

[@Joe-ye5mc]

The rules have changed, just need a PHD and 5 years of work

Than you for showing us such a beautiful country. It is amazing. They live in a country of the 24th century. If I were young I would follow your advise and move to China right away

[@g00nther]

Thanks Rafa. It's great to get alternative perspectives to those which are pushed in western media.

[@Fenchel-hg]

Western media never say a good word about China (if there is, it must be something to ask for. )Continuous shooting needs a special gray filter for an ordinary Chinese blue sky, which is pathetic and shameful! ……

I haven’t lived in China but I have visited about a dozen times over the last decade for work and pleasure and spent several months there cumulatively. This is a fantastic rundown of its strengths and made me eager to visit China again after a long break these past three years. Also, Shenzhen looks fantastic and is high on my list!

Impressed by your vlogs capture of pple n sceneries of the places you visited and your drone filmed panaromic views. Very high quality n professional level skills as good as Alex of Reportedfy Media n Travel. Keep it up Feel you are very lucky to be in China for all the reasons you mentioned. For me another appeal of China is the many the ancient natural n man-made wonders that I wish I could travel to China n explore.. So I wont mind to live in China for this reason.

[@fredrick1112]

Excelente video. me Llamo Samuel, soy de Venezuela. me tope con tu canal y tienes videos super calidad. Pero seria interesantes que subieras todos estos videos a tu canal En ESPAÑOL. A mi Opinión tendrías mas vista y mas seguidores si subieras mucho mas contenido al canal De ESPAÑOL.. Para nosotros aquí en Latinoamérica hay muy pocos canales que hablen de china si como lo haces en ESPAÑOL.

Nonsense, London is first city , check it out

[@hclau218]

Wrong info - London was the first major city to go all out on CCTV. At one time it has more CCTV coverage than anywhere on earth. The Western Media at that time was full of praise for the "forward looking security management". Don't take my word for it. Check the archives.
