While I haven't been to China in many years now, probably 15 years or so, I well recall an incident where, staying with my host family, the father had just bought a new motorcycle and had left it outside his house. A few hours later, there was a commotion outside as one of the neighbors had spotted a guy trying to hotwire the bike. Pretty soon a whole crowd had gathered round the guy, and nobody recognized him, he was apparently a transient worker. They were asking him why, if it was really his bike, he was hotwiring it. When the actual owner finally came along and everybody recognized him and they could finally be sure that a crime was in commission, they quite literally ran the guy out of town - he took off running and the mob of people chased after him til he was outside the city limits. The interesting thing about this is that there was a police station just two blocks up the road from where this started. Not one single person bothered to go fetch the police. They all understood the police were only there to get after political/ideological crimes, and didn't care about any other types of crimes. Nope, the community has to police itself. And they do. Of course, that was a fairly small town where people do know their neighbors well and so that sort of thing still works, and good for them for looking out for each other. And shame on the police for not being willing to deal with actual real crimes like that.

The advanced versions of these government fakes can be seen anywhere in the world: It's just that in western countries the politicians don't fake it using cardboard boxes, but million dollar "programs" where the money is just thrown down the drain of some billion dollar corporation. During my time as a computer scientist in a European university (Switzerland), I myself have worked in "government projects" which were supposed to bring "digitalization" to the smaller corporations. But it was utter fake as it did not nearly address the actual underlying problems of these smaller corporations. We all knew - but the goal and the method of the project had been decided from people earning many many times my salary. So you see - we have our own "cardboard police officers" in Europe...

Daniel Kahneman ("Thinking Fast and Slow") talked about how experiments showed that people tend to behave better when they think they are being watched. An experiment with a community coffee machine showed people contributed what they should have even if there was just a picture of something kind of like a pair of eyes in the coffee room. That's the motivation for governments around the world to try to make people behave by having them think they are being surveilled. China, of course, excels in this.

You were saying that nobody was helping beggars on the subway. Yeah, as a Chinese, I feel the same. Once, as a college student, I tried to help a desperate couple begging for about 300 RMB (~$45) with changes I had on me (about 10 RMB). Never would I expect that they responded with a weird sneer, saying that it was too less without showing any sign of appreciation. I immediately realized that it was a scam, but they had taken my money away already. Now, I believe that it's mainly because of the economic & social status of many of us. When seeing no path to "pursue happiness", many resorts to "faking doing things", chicanery, or even crimes.

[@AlexAnder-rv1gu]

Y'know, the reason you saw what the police did not is because you were able to view the situations there from and outside perspective. Nothing was normal to you (because it was a foreign country as a whole) so you paid attention to everything. That was why you were able to spot the criminals while the police were not. To them, a woman on the subway begging, is something to turn away from in shame. To you, that was something of intrigue and cultural difference. So you saw the people who were there in front of you, while others chose not to see. I also intervened to help someone while in China, and the only reason the problem was eventually solved was because a foreigner had made a fuss. (actually, as the woman who called the cops on my behalf explained, I "took responsibility for" the old man. ...as if to pre-distance herself from the situation. Very interesting)

[@MrSkippingpig]

It's no different to the UK to be fair. Here we have cardboard policemen in petrol stations and supermarkets. And if your house is broken in to and burgled, the police will not lift a single finger to investigate - they'll issue a crime number to pass on to the insurers, and that's literally the extent of their involvement.

[@chrisblue4652]

In LA, decoy cop cars are pretty common too. They are working police vehicles (a little older ones) that they drive out to a location. They get moved very frequently (I believe every day) so that people don't start to realize its a decoy. If someone see's it, they can't tell its a decoy because its indistinguishable from random cop cars that just got parked for 30 minutes or so on the side of the street while the cop goes into a store or something (probably sneaking a smoke break lol).

This isn't really rare when you travel Europe either. It's just to get drivers' attention, or to remind them to drive safely. In my town we have several cutouts that look like one or more children moving towards the street on roads adjacent to schools for example, and I live in a town of barely 3k people. Edit: Also speed cameras often aren't hooked up to anything,except maybe power, afaik. They just have a memory card that can easily be removed and exchanged by a cop or contractor that drives by the camera once a week or so. Being in Germany I am actually really happy with how the police operate in my area (and I am absolutely not a fan of cops or the government) insofar as the fact that they plan their routes very carefully. "More burglaries in the area recently? We'll make sure to drive by 2-3 times a day." or "It's school time? We'll make sure to have an increased police presence at the school bus stops, and routes." I really do appreciate the good parts of the police, even if I'm not a fan of a lot of what they do. I mean good luck finding a cop you can bribe over here, in the east and africa its easy.

I love how you and Matt exist outside of the political binary and just bring the facts. You two are extremely valuable in these times, despite that the rest of the world might not agree.

[@predatortheme]

what the fuck, i had to burst out laughing when the guy painted the tree green......

[@Miikkeldk]

The Best (Or most weird) thing i've seen while i was in China would be that you don't see or hear birds. The only time you hear birds chirp is when you are near a hidden speaker. I was so baffled to see speakers hidden in the bushes playing bird noises

[@serpentza]

Yes, there are no birds in China

[@aliyahmorris1281]

What????

[@Miikkeldk]

@@aliyahmorris1281 This was 5-6 years ago when i was exchange student for 3 weeks in China. We visited multiple places where this was apparently a thing. I'm from Scandinavia so birds chirping are a really common thing. I never imagined that I would hear it from a speaker. Pretty surreal.

My short visit to Beijing didn't reveal many policemen,but I did notice the red armband Block Watchers.

[@michaelpowers9259]

Good video, informative. Honestly, Winston, I don't know how you continue reporting about such a hopelessly disgusting and morally bankrupt society. When I was there, I knew I couldn't live among them long-term. You hear people say 'I love China and the Chinese people!' (women chained to walls, eh?). I don't harbor such illusions.

[@pipiqiqi4010]

this is just a special case and can't represent the whole China. you must know that there are how many cases in Europe and US that people are detained, especially the women and Children, there are more disgusting pedophilia people in western societies.

[@etscinemapsychomasonica2400]

Yeah, here in the US we have a government that lures the women (and everyone else it can), by telling them lies, across raging flood waters in South Texas where they arrive half drowned, traumatized, homeless and many of them having been raped, robbed, or otherwise abused along the way and/or forced to be drug mules. And what is this for? Even the US has these kinds of problems for those who can see things as they really are. Needless to say the mostly poor communities along the border that are being slammed with all these thousands of desperate people all day long, every day, are a whole other issue as well. Callousness is everywhere but people see it through their own lens.

[@TheEldritchGod]

Hey, that ground news website is actually useful. That's why I like you guys.

[@J8den]

8:34 lol the lady took the guys handle

[@sara.cbc92]

you caught that too lol. Ladies first

[@adrianbelko7683]

@@sara.cbc92 i wish, perhaps on warfronts too so that we keep the cuter feminine traditionalist ones and discover a way to produce even cuter, feminine and traditionalist girls by artificial means while feminists fight each other and die for good

[@joshuaonly]

Oh my God Winston. I think that part about the child... that may have been the worst thing I've ever heard out of your channel. Heaven smiles upon you for stepping up. I'm just speechless... wow

[@maximkrastev7824]

I remember seeing cardboard police cars on the roads in Bulgaria. It definitely catches you off guard.

[@MrCtsSteve]

Good show Winston 👍

[@mathieuleader8601]

this police looks like the Autons from Dr. Who

[@jackwilson8552]

You have no shortage of amazing stories.

[@wadevapes3301]

Thank you for enlightening us ignorant folk

[@jstriker623]

Sorry, but painting the trees green is a great short-term idea... and you get St. Patrick's Day rivers as a free bonus! 😅

[@Domkal]

we got those paper police men around czech villages as well to keep people from speeding i think it kind of works

[@justabunny999]

Same here in Poland. Its funny tho. Fake police man in villages, but our local police sqaud car for a small village is a sportcar xd

[@Domkal]

@@justabunny999 our police just got seized ferrari

[@dreamraver]

@@Domkal where? And do they really use it as police car? :-)

[@Domkal]

@@dreamraver i think its just for shows but yeah officially it does patrol highways

[@urbanws1234]

You have a very good channel. Thank you for all your hard word and dedication to exposing the filty dirty nasty CCP

[@olliefoxx7165]

I see empty police cars with mannequins sitting in them on the side of roads in the US. It's to prevent speeding bc they rotate actual cops in the cat with the mannequins so people never really know. It's smart bc it saves on man power while keeping a presence.

[@prateeksinghal7688]

Nice that you stepped and intervien !! That's very considerate of you.

[@BB-kg5mk]

Smash the like guys ❤️🇨🇦stay awesome

[@compulsoryevacuationdevice]

The NYPD leaves empty cop cars all over the place for the same reason. The cardboard cops are a little extra but not completely outlandish

[@Theeconomist3848]

New york can post up empty taxpayers cars. China can post up cardboard people..... I dont know if i'm happy or sad about this.

[@melthompson8928]

So glad I found your channel

[@Aaa-ct4xb]

， good to see you .keep up video

[@johnmcdonald6979]

Thanks!

[@oskarjawornik6342]

In 90`s before speed cameras we had one like that in Poland on a dangerous section of the road where people been having accidents. It worked very well.

[@jha5301]

thumbs up in the air if you like this.
