Aye. My Taiwanese classmate says most Taiwanese don't welcome Pelosi at all. Is this true? So why does she still insist to visit? For the politically astute, especially with what’s happening in Ukraine, the Taiwanese people should have realized by now that American politicians are there to score political points for themselves, and not at all for the interest of the Taiwanese people. Just as Pelosi is the first to lead the charge to promote Joshua Wong and the Hong Kong protest, she’s also going over to ensure a high profile for the DPP and to kick off the Democrat’s China bashing for this year’s midterm election - a very thin majority that the Democrats are likely to lose badly, especially with Biden’s plummeting poll numbers going down to sub-30%. Pelosi’s desperate to try anything. Taiwanese are smart enough to know that if Biden would not dare challenge Russia in Ukraine that he is lying through his teeth that he would be defending Taiwan should the DPP dare to declare independence and force China to enforce their red-line forewarning of military force. Other than increasing U.S.-China tension, what business is it of Pelosi to be making this trip to Taiwan in the first place? -Fred Chuatiuco Pelosi is a trouble maker of the worst kind. She has lost the fight for HK pro demo group. Now she is looking at Taiwan for her next fight. Diversion is one of the tools of a politician. -Chilly Padi I believe as time wears on, Pelosi will look more and more like a callous fool. It will become plain for all to see how her vanity, recklessness, and vindictiveness have caused pain and suffering in the people across the Taiwan Strait that she so callously left behind. Most likely, she doesn’t give a damn anyway. In the meantime, she also severely compromised US leverage on China regarding Taiwan. We will see the effect of this soon. She will be viewed as The Fool in 5 years. -Chiu Yu Great way to deflect attention from her husband’s DWI court appearance on Wednesday. -Austin Powers Great way to divert attention off of Hunter’s laptop as well. -Susanna Guillory Why is she going to Asia? The homeless scene in her hometown San Francisco is getting worse every year. She says she has “global responsibility” but no responsibility to her own countrymen? -Renee Chen It’s amazing how she’s so worried about other countries, yet if you look at her district in San Francisco, California, and surrounding cities, they’re many areas filled with tents 🏕 and homelessness. -Acapellapoet Tv

I’m native Chinese. “China” to us is not a term we’d use to describe a nation or administration, but a civilization. We live on a land that has seen rises and falls of SO many dynasties and CCP is just one of them. It was China when ROC ruled, and it was China when Qing dynasty ruled. When I grew up, my text book said “Taiwan has always been an inseparable part of China” and this China, to my understanding, didn’t mean CCP. I have family members living and dying in Taiwan, because of the civil war, and I really don’t want a war to happen to us again. I also don’t think CCP wants a war. Wars are endless drainage of national wealth and the only country existing that had benefited from wars is the US. I’m pro status quo.

Nice position. However the US as a country and people have not benefited from war. No country really does. Certain people, groups and corporations selfishly benefit at the expense of others.

If we want conflict and wars to end then we need to stop taking sides. And not be hypocritical.

Even though there are more conflicts between Taiwan and China, the people here in general are still very friendly toward the Chinese, that has not yet change.

🇨🇵La démocratie ce n'est pas "voter". Si voter pour son président c'est être dans une démocratie, alors les étrangers qui n'ont pas le droit de vote sont en dictature en France, cette contradiction c'est oui et non à la fois, ça n'a aucun sens. Vous savez qu'en Chine les Chinois se sentent en démocratie ? Si vous demandez à des Chinois, ils vous répondront "nous sommes en démocratie en Chine car le gouvernement nous écoute" mais en France ce sera "nous sommes en démocratie car nous avons le droit de vote". De mon point de vue, en observant les choses, la vision chinoise de la démocratie (écoute des revendications du peuple régulièrement) est plus proche d'un système démocratique que la vision française de la démocratie (1 vote puis tu te tais pendant 5 ans). Et peut-être que c'est ce qui explique qu'en Chine ils n'ont pas besoin du droit de vote et ne demandent pas le droit de vote d'ailleurs, car le peuple est écouté pendant 5 ans, 10 ans, tout le temps. C'est intéressant la vision chinoise de la démocratie. Plus ça va, plus j'ai l'impression que c'est la Chine qui touche du doigt la vraie démocratie. Nous en France en revanche on touche plutôt du doigt la vraie dictature parfaite tellement elle passe inaperçue au point que le peuple ne s'en rend même pas compte. C'est intéressant de discuter avec des Chinois sur le sujet, si certains ont l'occasion d'en rencontrer faut en profiter pour engager la conversation sur le sujet même s'ils sont souvent timides.
As a Taiwanese who has spent a limited amount of time interacting with local Chinese citizens in Shanghai and has been educated and lived in the US and Japan, here are some of my observations and perspectives based on my personal experiences. Chinese people, be it Taiwan or Mainland China generally do not initiate confrontations, particularly if it would involve conflicts of ideologies. I found it easy to befriend local Chinese to a certain degree during my time in China but there were definitely things that I saw in China that I wouldn't expect to experience in Taiwan. To put it simply, despite the fact that we generally speak Mandarin Chinese and have no trouble understanding each other's language, for the Taiwanese to communicate with the Chinese or vice versa, it would simply feel like a form of cross-cultural communication. It simply feels foreign in many ways. Just like how the British communicate with Americans or Americans with Canadians, etc, etc. I've seen some comments from overseas Chinese bringing up the difficulty of forming friendships with oversea Taiwanese due to judgments made about one's nationalities. I don't think that's entirely true but it certainly would easily lead to conflicts if all the parties in a relationship would have to communicate from completely different ideologies. Imagine a republican trying to befriend a democrat....would lead to nothing but nightmares for both parties, so why run the risk? To leave my comment on a positive note, respect is one key thing we shall all learn to bring to any type of communication. Respect the difference, respect the opinions. Thanks to Asian Boss for taking that first step to listening and understanding.
Even if you have different ideologies, you can live in the same country, like republicans and democrats.

18:00 I don’t think what she said is true about you can’t discuss about the issue. You can find a lot of discussion about Taiwan in Chinese social platform. Especially during the Pelosi’s visit. But the problem is, the point she hold is so different against most people. I won’t be surprised if she get targeted. Not saying it is from the government but from ordinary Chinese people. Just like what “political correctness” means in the West. EDIT: as point out by the comments below and other comments by Chinese speakers, the accent of this interviewee and usage of several words were quite different from mainland Chinese. So highly possible, she is not from or at least not educated in mainland China. That may well explain why her point of view is so different from the others in this interview.
@@kevinmiller9760 so they only want the comments showing one point of view and no other... Then they use it as evidence saying all Chinese people agree with this topic.... Thats not right... No one thinks the same.Opinions are going to differ.

That lady with her face mosaiced is definitely not a chinese mainlander, her accent and the way she used some phrases are more like people from taiwan. The way she mentioned "information" as "咨询“ revealed where she comes from, as China mainlanders would use word "信息“ for “information”. She also mentioned "Censorship" and use the word "监察“ whereas mainlanders would normally use word "审查" for“Censorship”. Trust me, I am a native Chinese speaker, I have quite a few friends and classmates who come from taiwan. I can tell the subtle differences in the accents and the ways two sides speak. That lady is more like someone from taiwan or at least heavily influenced by it so she is pro-Taiwan, more of a rare exception than norm. Due to this reason, unfortunately, this has reduced the credibility of the interview as it is supposed to be an interview for ordinary local China mainlanders.

If she had experience living overseas, the way she spoke is quite natural to me. As I previously worked for a foreign owned company in Shanghai, the phrase & style she spoke reminded me of several of my ex-coworkers who had overseas experience though they all held Chinese passports. I reckon she had a standard Southern Chinese accent, but most likely NOT a Taiwan/Malaysia/Singapore accent. I noticed she correctly used "社交软件“ for social media software rather than "社群“ that is commonly used in Taiwan. As the way she mentioned "information", as a local born and raised Shanghainese, I used the term "资讯” as well cos the Shanghai local News (SMG group) broadcasted "资讯”. Overall, I agree with the view that Shanghai is not a good representation of the overall China. But I incline to believe she is a genuine ordinary local Mainland citizen (most likely to have been exposed to overseas experience) living in Shanghai representing a minority view. Btw, I also noticed the interview was took place in 西岸 WEST BUND, which is quite a decent area in Xuhui, Shanghai. Although I believe interviewees are all ordinary Chinese, there might be a selection bias which tend to interview towards cohort with higher average income or access to better education and/or uncensored information.
@danielgee70282 жыл бұрын
@@gjc7969 Yes what you said is definitely a possibility. That’s why I said she might be someone who is "heavily influenced by Taiwan and therefore is pro-Taiwan", but this is a rare exception in Mainland China than a norm. My observation is that those people tend to work for western or Taiwan companies in China and they usually have very limited (if not at all) real-life and work experience abroad. Their perception of western society or Taiwan in general tends to be based on second-hand sometimes even false information from outside (such as western news outlets), or based on their limited experience abroad(less than several years). one interesting phenomenon I have noticed is that the more a china mainlander lives in western countries (say over 5-10 years), the more he/she tends to be disappointed by what has been happening in the past decade or so where the US and the entire western world is not as ideal and confident and prosperous as it is used to be. And the majority of those oversea Chinese would genuinely want to see a more powerful, prosperous and united China, I would call that patriotic (not necessarily Pro-CPC though). I think one of the key reasons for that shift is mainly because what they have seen, felt everyday and lived abroad long enough, and have more access to all kinds of information, and came up with their own judgement based on reasonable logic and common-sense, not based on propaganda from either side.

From an Indian The people across the sea are both Han Chinese...it was just a battle of ideological stupidities in the 1940s, artificially imposed, might I say, by the western n eastern block...which made them fight! As the years hv progressed, the differences hv decreased...because, at the end of the day- they are similiar kind of Orientals, han Chinese who think alike! Chinese r not so much repressed as western media shows them to be, n neither r Taiwanese so anti-Chinese. The people continuously visit across d mainland for jobs n meeting relatives! The taiwanese should handle this with care because the US lackey prime minister of Taiwan would lead them to ruins, all in d name of democracy n western values...for once, CCP should not behave like immature novices in matters concerning foreign policy! U hv d economic wherewithal...use it to coerce the Taiwanese government- use it. No missiles, army,AF would be required! US bullying needs to be countered tactfully....n Taiwan needs to understand that the Yankees won't cm 2 d rescue once China starts screwing Taiwan. Taiwan may think today that US really cares for it, in the name of shared ideals, free speech n democracy....but the actual reality couldn't farther from the real facts on ground, which is that US wants to make an Ukraine out of Taiwan by instigating China...n when conflict breaks out, sit back n hv popcorn! N yea, Ship costly weapons to Taiwan benefitting its militant-industrial complex. Raytheon, Boeing, Lockheed would be so happy to see the Taiwanese rat caught in the trap..

There is a massive difference in maturity between KZbin comments, more specifically on this video regarding the situation with Taiwan than the comments on TikTok. People that really want to learn others’ perspectives go out of their way to search for this type of information. Meanwhile, TikTok is a platform full of ignorant and prideful kids that have no real experience in life and do not understand the severity of what they are saying. My point is, if any Chinese people are reading American’s comments on TikTok regarding war, please do not pay attention to them. They are most likely dumb innocent teenagers that don’t represent what Americans want from this situation. We, just like you, do not want a war. We respect you and your opinions and we want this Taiwan situation to be handled peacefully and diplomatically. The comment thread on this video represents us much better!

"I don't read news from domestic sources, but I think what they are saying about Taiwan are all negative." Well as someone who actually consumes content from Weibo and the like, I can tell you that a good amount of positive messaging exist when it comes to Taiwan, whether it's related to entertainment business or travel, food, etc. And when topics like "re-unification" do come up on trending, the gov will suppress the discussion in an effort to curb excessive emotional response. Yesterday when Pelosi visited TW, weibo was flooded with angry netizens calling for more aggressive response to take back Taiwan. Then today the topic is no longer trending. It's important to understand that the state's no.1 priority is stability. There can be different voices even for sensitive topics, but as long as the voice doesn't get loud enough to rally up an army to revolt, the government usually turns a blind eye. Yes censorship exists in China but it's nowhere as extreme or scary as foreign media makes it seem. And anyone's a fool to think their own country isn't monitoring private communications (looking at you NSA).

4:21 the translation is wrong. She said 卷/Juan which is a slang in China means "competitive". So she means"right now the social environment is very competitive in China" not "everyone is tired."
So obviously the lady in grey dress is from Taiwan...her accent tells everything...that’s why her opinions differ so much

The lady with dark dress said “监察”😂 bro lived in China for more than 20 years, never used that word much, also based on her accent, she is definitely from Taiwan, that’s why she really want Taiwan to be independent, I believe what she said about Chinese government is not fair, Asian boss please find a real mainland Chinese.

As a Chinese, I must say people interviewed in this video couldn't represent the most Chinese. 99% Chinese believed Taiwan is just a province of China. And if its necessary, we accept the probability of unification by war

And that's how it should be, Taiwan is our brother but they must understand the serious consequence to secession. Taiwan falling into the US's hands would be an enormous security risk to mainland China.

Obviously the lady in black is not from the mainland,because "中共" is a very Taiwanese term and has some derogatory meaning.We generally do not use political parties to represent the country. As far as I know, this is how it is called in the West and Taiwan.I think you should remain objective and neutral when conducting interviews, as you have always emphasized.
I think most mainlanders view the "return issue" less as a political unification than as a cultural, spiritual, and emotional one, a sense that we are family. After all, we do share a lot of culture and history. Although, as the video presents, the mainlanders and Taiwanese can get along well most of the time, this friendship can be destroyed at any time if there are political problems left over, which is a great pity for both of us. I do hope there can be a win-win solution to end this mass.

From my perspective the West has bent over backwards to support peaceful reunification, including the One China policy. You have to go out of your way to start a war over this, and Emperor Xi is doing just that, going out of his way to justify a war nobody wants just to satisfy his own personal egomania and delusions of grandeur. He is not preoccupied with reunification, he is preoccupied with his own legacy. He wants reunification under his rule even if millions of people have to die for it and Chinese economy will be destroyed so he can be worshipped like Mao. What he really can't stand is to think maybe it will be done by somebody after him, and he will be nothing more than a footnote in history.

The thing is, who will give it up? Taiwan and mainland China policies are anti-thesis of each other. That is one of the reason they cannot give up on, basic human rights. Which country suits their rights and living standards more. Which gives them voice or which gives them more freedom? That is one of reason taiwan cannot give up on. China would need to start a war or by force or by threat. That is one of the problem people didn’t really understand why it happened these way even though they hade so many things in common in culture. But their politics and beliefs are vastly different. Taiwan can consider a place for non chinese to become citizen of. But they don’t have anything in common with any chinese. But they prefer to live in Taiwan based on living standards, system, law, rules, or etc. Thad is something to consider the meaning of Taiwan versus mainland china. And will taiwan ever give up their rights? That is the answer they will tell you that even though they love mainland chinese, but the politics and policies and lifestyle are entirely different.

🇨🇵La démocratie ce n'est pas "voter". Si voter pour son président c'est être dans une démocratie, alors les étrangers qui n'ont pas le droit de vote sont en dictature en France, cette contradiction c'est oui et non à la fois, ça n'a aucun sens. Vous savez qu'en Chine les Chinois se sentent en démocratie ? Si vous demandez à des Chinois, ils vous répondront "nous sommes en démocratie en Chine car le gouvernement nous écoute" mais en France ce sera "nous sommes en démocratie car nous avons le droit de vote". De mon point de vue, en observant les choses, la vision chinoise de la démocratie (écoute des revendications du peuple régulièrement) est plus proche d'un système démocratique que la vision française de la démocratie (1 vote puis tu te tais pendant 5 ans). Et peut-être que c'est ce qui explique qu'en Chine ils n'ont pas besoin du droit de vote et ne demandent pas le droit de vote d'ailleurs, car le peuple est écouté pendant 5 ans, 10 ans, tout le temps. C'est intéressant la vision chinoise de la démocratie. Plus ça va, plus j'ai l'impression que c'est la Chine qui touche du doigt la vraie démocratie. Nous en France en revanche on touche plutôt du doigt la vraie dictature parfaite tellement elle passe inaperçue au point que le peuple ne s'en rend même pas compte. C'est intéressant de discuter avec des Chinois sur le sujet, si certains ont l'occasion d'en rencontrer faut en profiter pour engager la conversation sur le sujet même s'ils sont souvent timides.
Thank you Asian Boss for this thoughtful clip. Having lived in China and with family in Taiwan I know that the bellicose rhetoric we often hear in both Chinese and Western media is not necessarily echoed by the common folk. I - like the people in this video - wish for peace and more respectful discourse. More of these please, Asian Boss!

For those people who always criticise Asian boss for hiring actor or actress to play the interview especially on the topics about China, my suggestion is that if you never been to China it’s your time to try to walk out of your shell, go visit China and see in your real eyes, don’t always rely on what you hear on TV and news. Good luck!
