American Girl is DISAPPOINTED at America Safety Living in China | EQUAL EP1 Beijing

In this new show ''EQUAL'' I let my guest tell their story of life in China by asking a series of questions. In this first episode, I interviewed an American who shared her honest experience living and working in Beijing, China.
Naomi explained how safe she felt living in China compared to America and she's disappointed with the U.S. safety.

Not only Americans but everyone in the world should understand what freedom is all about. Freedom can only be achieved if we can live safely and comfortably without feeling afraid of threats from street thugs, criminals, pickpockets, thieves, robbers, rapists, extortionists, staying at home without feeling afraid, leaving the house in the morning, afternoon and evening, we feel safe and no need to worry of getting attacked or robbed. In life we do not need to be frightened with religion. If you want to worship, it's okay, it is also okay if you chose not to, there's no threat of going to hell, being told with this and that lies which are no different from seeing animal dung. No more fighting and killing for religion and ideology. Freedom is not about speech, free to criticise, to scold or to insult others, especially a country leader. It is the duty of the state officers and leaders to work hard to ensure the safety of their people, so that their people can enjoy a safe and comfortable life, instead of living in a state of anxiety and worry. The government should take care the health and safety for every subject as taxpayer. Except for natural catastrophy, fire or accidents, the subjects do not need to buy other kind of safety insurance, such as for robbery and theft. When a country has already been able to achieve all this, then we can call it "FREEDOM".

Very well articulated. For those who think that having freedom is having the freedom to lie, cheat, steal, curse and swear at whoever they want, condemn others without knowing the facts; that's the freedom that is not generally appreciated, or even wanted in any Asian culture. Hopefully such people will keep it for themselves, within and about their own home country.

[@pgvkcmmd340]

Hello, I'm the individual Sheku interviewed in this video. After reading through some of the comments, I'd like to clarify a few points. 


Firstly, the interview wasn't politically driven; it consisted of simple questions comparing certain aspects between the USA and China. I want to emphasize that I don't speak for Chinese people; my responses are based solely on my personal experience as a foreigner teaching in China for just a year. It's crucial to recognize this distinction. 

Secondly, the definition of culture in the US differs from that in China. As I highlighted in one of my responses, the US lacks a cohesive culture in the same manner as China. The US is a melting pot of cultures, but regrettably, in recent years, this diversity has led to increased divisions (e.g., a rise in identity politics). It's important to note that I'm not implying the US is inherently negative or lacking in culture. Instead, I emphasize that comparing the two is challenging due to the distinct cultural structures inherent in the US and China, respectively. I may have not expressed myself as clearly as I could have regarding this point. I can understand the criticism. 
 Thirdly, the nature of my 'accent' is irrelevant to the conversation. If you must know, I grew up in a bilingual household. I am indeed a US citizen, born there and filing taxes there. As a legal requirement, I continue to file and pay taxes in the US even though I'm abroad. The 'accent' should not be used to undermine my perspective as an American citizen, who votes and continues to fulfill tax obligations towards the US. 

Moreover, being a citizen of the following countries: UK, Canada, USA, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa, is a mandatory requirement to become an English teacher in China. You can verify this information yourself, as it is readily available online. 
 Finally, it's essential to understand my role here. I'm an English teacher, not a diplomat, political scientist, or political historian. I'm not here to influence Chinese legislation, government, or power structures. I am here to teach English to children and young adults. The interview aimed to explore cultural, safety, and food differences. I've provided my answers in the most unbiased and honest manner. 
 I'm not Chinese; I'm American. My focus is on matters in my own country, and I appreciate the opportunity to share my experiences without veering into areas beyond my expertise or knowledge. 

 Thank you for understanding.

[@Zhongwen-m8r]

Thank you for your fair and objective introduction about China. You are beautiful!

[@nwong6410]

You presented yourself well and your points did come across clearly, at least to me. Comparing two countries and perhaps two cultures does not mean that one is necessarily better than the other. They are just different. Open-minded people would see the merits in each. Don't worry about some silly criticisms. They are bound to appear in any social media platform. Enjoy your stay in China!

[@likevin3087]

Thank you

[@peterchern2036]

You are very nice indeed to go an extra miles to clarify yourself for which you have done nothing wrong just to express your own personal honest unbiases opinion and an experience .living in China. For those who think you are political driven, I think they ought to educate themself to open their eyes, ears and willingness to accept facts. Of course, China is not perfect but yes, in many areas, China is a lot better than our country, the good old U.S. of A.

Most of the descriptions in the Western media are correct, but what you saw during the same period is false. The city was built by the CCP with high debts and the collusion of a large number of government officials and businessmen. Security is achieved by plundering the people and controlling physical threats through their thoughts, and cleanliness is achieved by various hidden taxes and the ruthless urban management of the party-state supported by deceit and abduction. So everything will eventually be passed on to the people at the bottom to repay it, and you can't see the people at the bottom of China. They are all restricted to rural areas by the household registration system and can never buy urban houses. Anyone who wants to discuss China with me will tell them the truth. I hope the world will not be so ignorant and ignorant. Look at those who study China. Who will say that China is good? Ordinary people are short-sighted

China's technological level is beyond my imagination.

[@shaguge]

I believe that the most important freedom is the ability to live a secure and affordable life. A colleague of mine who worked in China for two years shares the sentiment that China is an extremely safe country. This aspect has been discussed extensively, especially for women, and it truly provides a sense of ease and comfort. Furthermore, the prices of daily essentials such as food, clothing, shelter, and transportation are very reasonable, making life in China less burdensome compared to here. Locals fondly enjoy traveling and dining out at restaurants. In our country, my colleague would calculate how to order meals more economically when dining out. However, in China, one only needs to consider what they enjoy and what they would like to try. The traffic, prices, and services in China are so reasonably priced that it stirs up envy. Therefore, from this perspective, Chinese people enjoy the most important and core freedoms.

China...one of my favorite places. it is also very unique, and equally complex. A land of isolation in many ways...a throwback to ancient eras of isolation, simplicity, and ethno-centric thinking. You'll find a lot of locked in cultural bias: China. Not different than other places...just so much of it given the population and area of China. A beautiful land...trapped in the past in many ways. God have mercy on the Chinese people. They deserve more.

China is nothing like how western media portrays it. These vlogs from youtubers like yourself are a much more accurate representation. Although I’d recommend visiting China with a local friend who is fluent in the language, I’m lucky that my girlfriend is Chinese so I got to truly experience the culture when I lived and worked there. Also, Chinese people are very interested in and knowledgeable about politics. Something western media and politicians get totally wrong. Every Chinese family member, friend and even random taxi drivers were very open and passionate about their views on the government/world politics.

[@今日辱蛙]

@@mengxu9104 What defines the freedom in your mouth? In my opinion, only living in the Stone Age is freedom, because in the Stone Age, all you need to do is follow the laws of nature, rather than using the freedom defined by other countries to force other countries to learn, which is called aggression.

I have been to China four times, including visits to my in-laws there, as well as a short stay in HK. I have to say that I have not been disappointed at all. Sure, it is of course hard to maneuver in a country where you don't know the language (and they don't know yours...), but all in all it has totally been worth the money and effort.

I have always thought China NEEDS to allow more normal people to visit it, to find out for themselves. Thank god Prez Xi seems to feel (finally) secure enough to open the door wider to tourists from all around the world. You must let ordinary people - students tourists businessmen - see it for themselves, warts an all. Otherwise you are just giving the bigots free reins to make up all sorts of outrageous lies about you. Wonderful video, thanks for uploading!

[@davidz7858]

I believe normal people get visa without any problems.

[@DJs021]

There is approximate 500,000 Taiwanese residing in mainland, 200,000 American(some has been in China since post WW2) and around 100,000 foreign expats/temporarily visa holder. I meant like China isnt small country, with 1.4B local population, how do you want the central government "open wider"? There is no restriction of visiting China since 1980, except Tibet due to insurgent faction by neighborhood country, If you meant open wider by granting Perma Residence(Green Card) and local assimilation, well that is surely disasters. Funfact tho, foreign student entitled for more scholarship and gov subsidy compare to local student. Similarly with One Child Policy's only applied to Han Chinese but not the rest 52 ethnic minority. So, I dont see ordinary peoples, student or businesmen having problem accessing or visiting country.

[@greentea8852]

Hmm are you talking post covid? Then your comment might make sense. I‘ve visited China 3 times from 1999 had a chance to study there but decided not to, there were already many international students, tourists and businessmen but of course there are a lot more now maybe because vlogging trend helps.

[@sunnywu2464]

I can tell you. I am over 70, growing up in HK. Most people still have the perception of the old China and do not perceive the drastic change in the last 20 years. And the US politicians are using this outdated perception to demonize now the modern China for their political gains. And many with white supremacy can't accept China now is not below them.

[@leeway777]

[@George-rj4fj]

It seems that quite a few foreigners from English speaking countries are "whingeing" that they have to learn how to speak Chinese in order to get anywhere in China. Fact - people in China speak Chinese. What do they expect? Go to Japan and the people there speak Japanese. Go to Italy and the people there speak Italian. Go to France and surprise, surprise - the people there speak French. Go to Spain and they speak Spanish. In the early days of the California Gold Rush, Chinese who wanted to find a better life in the U.S., have to learn some conversational English and willing to work at any job they could find from hard laboring jobs on the railroad to washing laundry and starting little restaurants. They didn't expect Americans to speak Chinese nor were there any schools available for the Chinese immigrants to teach Chinese to the English speaking students. The same thing was encountered by Italians and Greeks who migrated to the U.S. - they all have to learn English. In fact, not only are there schools that teach Chinese in many Western countries as well as courses being available on line but one can get language translating tools the size of a smartphone - which are all not available in the early years for foreigners. The early migrants were brave and hardy. They didn't whine about the fact that they have to learn and adapt, no matter how hard life would be in the new country where they would be discriminated against. At least in modern China, this does not happen to the western foreigner who is more likely to be accepted as long as they do not do silly things like crime and engage in anti-social acts. These days in China, merely being able to speak English or any foreign language is not enough for one to land a job teaching local Chinese students - China has lifted up the standards for foreign teachers and proper formal qualifications are required to be able to teach. So, if you want to teach any subject, get yourself qualified - just llke in any other country. The world is becoming more and more competitive and "easy street" is fast disappearing.
