@@xmb6793 yes, if you look at the overseas media, they exclusively hire people from Taiwan or of Taiwan origin ( also some from HK) for China related topics, as you described those Hanjian, 汉奸走狗卖国贼， those traitors trying so hard to ass kiss the USA and japan, and try every possible way to bash China. Using western narratives to create a propaganda for their people, twisted, biased, demonized, far from the truth, report news about China. USA hate every country who became the world number 2, because it is a threat to its position as world number 1. Look at Soviet Union and also later on Japan when they reached the no. 2 position, just figure what USA did to weaken their power, those no.2 diminishing thereafter. China now is facing the same difficult situation as no.2 because no.2 normally has very shaky fate because of the USA intervene

Greece really needs to focus on marketing to China. Most people in China know greek yogurt, olive products, honey products and so on... But which brand? So i think these industries should learn more from the 'tourism of Santorini', which made itself successfully branded as an excellent impression of Greece for Chinese people. potentially, Greece has this capacity to make its products more well known in Chinese market, because i still remember that around 2005 and later folli follie had still been a niche that somehow kind of famous among certain comsumers. Plus, aside these business things, Greece pertains a level of affinity in our society thanks to its ancient culture and philosophy, which makes things related to Greece easier to be accepted by the mass...even though I am also seeing the trend that turkey is getting more and more popular in daily topics

[@Dimi1982.]

@@Fizzing-Amperage I agree that Greece should focus on marketing its products to China. Greek yogurt, olive products, and honey products are already well-known there. Greece can learn from Santorini's successful tourism branding to make its products more recognizable in the Chinese market. The country's ancient culture and philosophy also create affinity, making Greek-related things easier to be accepted by the masses. While Turkey is becoming popular, Greece can leverage its unique offerings to stand out. By investing in strategic marketing and emphasizing its strengths, Greece can tap into the vast potential of the Chinese market.

Dear Michele, Thank you for your positive portrayal of Chongqing. I lived there myself for many years and I am glad you liked it. I wouldn't say that every corner is filled with big luxury brand stores, though. If you travel away from the pedestrian shopping areas you will actually see what I think is an even more beautiful side of Chongqing, with more traditional style houses, little parks and temples. Ciqikou does a nice approximation, but is still very commercialized, but try and go to Jiaochangkou, 重庆市渝中区朝东路 you'll find some of the most hard working bang bang men around. near Lianglukou station you'll find massive staircases near 皇冠大扶梯, and finally if you take a walk along the stairs to 格萨藏宴·烤肉(南滨路店) you'll find an amazing view, and some great food at the top. A very authentic Chognqing experience that I can definitely recommend. I hope you had/have fun!

An absolute excellent video Michele! You covered a lot of territory in a short time, and have made it so very enticing to make a person want to visit! One has to admire the Chinese for all of their accomplishments! A valid point that you mentioned, that I noticed beforehand, was the number of people, and not a cigarette butt or piece of trash lying on the ground! Your dedicated subscribers have definitely seen the opposite with other places you’ve visited in the world. Kudos to the Chinese for keeping their cities and public places so clean and beautiful! I’m glad to see you are enjoying yourself in Chongqing, and thank you once again for presenting this to all your viewers on KZbin! 👏💯😁🏆🇨🇳

chinese people treat their country as their family...guo jia literally means family state. the govt is the father and the people are the children. they take care of each other and cooperate on the deepest levels intuitively.

Salary in China is much higher than most people think, when I was working in Shanghai 11 years ago I was making over $60k, my sister runs a small international e-commerce business in China, she can make anywhere from $23k to $140k a year depending on how successful the business is

Hi Michele, i just back from east Europe, i went to Amsterdam, Frankfurt, and Krakow, and some other cities in Germany. I had to admit, the countryside of EU is breathtaking, so beautiful, the view, and it's extremely clean. BUT.... if we are talking about cities, I have to say, cities in China are much much cleaner and safer than east Europe.

Chongqing is one of the four municipalities directly governed by the central government, the four are Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, and Chongqing. I don’t think it’s not rich, maybe compared with Beijing and Shanghai, but it’s one of the top ten cities in China in terms of economy.

I have been to China and to many other countries. I have to say Chinese cities are very much developed and clean. Very few homeless people, druggies and people asking you for money. They are definitely more civilized than many European and American cities.

I do agree, but it’s easy to be more developed than the current USA where 25% of the population is poor and there is almost no infrastructure for public transport and nobody can afford hospital bills

Lol, the bones add so much flavor and goodness to the meat. At age 49, I was the boy with all the toys in CA, stateside, missing only one thing of my dreams. In 2004, I moved to Guangxi and married into a beautiful family. As our adventure began, we traveled China for more than 6 years and enjoyed everything that we experienced! My new parents were special in teaching me the greatness that I was able to enjoy daily! Dad a lawyer and mom was a CPA. I truly could stop searching and not look back because everything was a bright future in China. 🎉🎉 Now 19 years later, I've known my wife for more than 20 years. Our granddaughter has been #1 in her schooling maintaining between 98 to 100% in her grades. In education contest has 18 first place awards posted on her bedroom wall. Her daily schooling is between 6:30am to 11:30 pm... having ~3 hour breaks during her day. Being the best, she can choose her friends with a brighter future ahead! We all pitch in daily to assist in her adventures. Totally amazing as she can't get enough! KZbin freezing up so, I need a second post about governments. I'll see ya in a minute...
