Here's Why I Live in China | Let Me Change Your Mind! （中文）

I LOVE my country, the UK!! Absolutely beautiful and recommend anyone to go! But.......it's just not for me. China is the perfect place as it's always developing, changing and growing.
Here's why you should come visit too!

Both travelled to china and the US and i personally think people are happier in china than the US. I was suprised with the poverty in the US, homelessness and even crime. All of which china has very few of

[@nunosampaionunes2334]

I also live in China, for 30+ years, apart from the never-ending covid measures, it's a wonderful country to live in. Food is fantastic, people are friendly, life is easygoing, and violent crime is almost nonexistent, at least where I have been. Like any other country, it has its downsides but what country doesn't? It's far different from what the media says which concerns living standards and living quality. I normally say it is a country with several countries inside. If you have nothing to hide or thinking of doing wrong you have nothing to fear. Don't mess with politics and rules and you can have a fantastic life.

[@davidrichards1741]

I'm also a western expat, for the last decade living in East Asia, and I agree it's awesome but don't mess with the politics or rules. However, today I'd say the same about my homeland which has become a police state where my countrymen fear the cops unlike here in Asia where cops actually are there to help & protect, instead of harassing & striking fear into citizens.

The following article is written by Ismail Bashmori, he is an Egyptian China watcher. The truth is that China is the greatest country on the face of the earth. It makes all other countries look insignificant and contemptible. It is the most brilliant, most industrious, most ambitious, most educated, meritocratic and technocratic, most modern, sophisticated, and civilised, and best-governed by far. It is the first non-white, non-Western country to reach this status since the 1600s. The determination of this country is indescribable. Supernatural. There is no force that can stop it from accomplishing anything it wants to do. It doesn’t matter who we are. Egyptians, Syrians, Pakistanis, Indians, Africans, even Americans. Next to the Chinese, we are pathetic. We can’t do what they do. We would have a mountain, an Everest of changes to make, and we would whine and bicker and fail at every one of them. China’s story since the 1980s has been one of an almost divine metamorphosis. Next to China the entire Western world from Alaska to New Zealand has stagnated. Next to China the entire developing world from Brazil to Madagascar has progressed only at a crawl. China is the mother of all gargantuan bullet trains. Every day it manages to create something new and astonishing. And unlike the United States, unlike the British Empire, unlike the French, Dutch, Germans, Spanish, Portuguese or any other Western nation that had its turn at being a superpower in the past four centuries, China doesn’t need to run anybody over or take something from somebody else, to rise majestically.。 China is also standing up to the West all by herself. The West can’t believe their four-hundred-year-old global supremacy is being challenged. They hoped that the more China developed, the more it would submit to their influence, interests, and leadership. That didn’t happen. So now they will do anything possible, short of a nuclear war, to make China end. Their goal is to destroy this country. That’s why, although the United States has killed several million people and turned several regions of the earth into hellscapes. China is the worst fear of our planet’s Western masters. They want you to despise and dread a country that’s done nothing to you, that hasn’t invaded anyone, bombed or sanctioned anyone, that hasn’t overthrown any foreign government, or used its military on anything since 1979. China is the only major country in the nonwhite developing world, to stand up to the West. To look it in the eye when challenged or threatened. The Global South are simply Western puppets who submitted long ago. Even the most powerful ones. Saudi Arabia, Brazil, India. The 1500s-1000s BC were Egypt’s time. Antiquity belonged to the Greeks and Romans. The 1700s belonged to France, and the 1800s to Britain. From 1945 to the present, the world has been under American overlordship. And they call it the Pax Americana but there isn’t much Pax in it. There’s plenty of Pax if you’re in Europe or Australia. But the Middle East? Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Iran and Yemen in the past 20 years. Latin America? They’ve destroyed that part of the world beyond any hope of recovery. Africa? It’s only been spared because of disinterest. The US sees Africa as nothing. The whole West does. But in the twenty-first century, we are witnessing the rise of China. We are decades away from China becoming the greatest power on earth. This will be China’s time, and there’s nothing anyone can do about it. Attack China all you want, curse her and monger rumours and hysteria - but the truth is that none of your accusations are backed up by evidence. The Western press is under the thumb of Western governments that want to stay on top of the world for eternity. And the truth is that China is not affected by the noise and maneuvers of her enemies. For her first thirty years, from 1949 to 1979, China was basically blockaded and isolated economically and politically by the West. It didn’t even have a seat in the UN General Assembly. And it was dirt-poor in those days, barely a speck of the global economy, a tiny fraction of Japan’s or Germany’s GDP - not even able to prevent famine. And it still didn’t submit to pressure or take any orders. Why on earth would it do that now? China will be the next global power. There’s nothing that can be done about that. The first stage is that its economy only needs to grow at 4.7 percent per year to become the world’s largest by 2035. That means the usual, historical bare-minimum of 6 percent is already overkill. The US can build as many bases as it wants, slap as many sanctions as it wants, recognise whatever bogus genocides it wants. That’s what it’s been doing all along. Has any of it made a difference? China can adapt to any situation. It took China a mere ten years to go from being barred by the US Congress from participating in the “International” Space Station, to building its own Space Station from zero. Above only part of the article, you can read the full article under the following link. www.dailyexpress.com.my/read/4459/west-can-t-believe-nor-accept-china-s-progress/?fbclid=IwAR3aJYSZC3rbUgM1NwHCO73XxnNzNkJPa9wrSsFp-4KMxTozuJiHBwLJDXU

​ISmail Bsshmori, the Egyptian writer is absolutely right. He writes with perfect lucidity all that he knows about China which is sound and solidly historical now. Except, I would like this revered Égyptian writer to read up about Pre Han China, going back to King Wen of the Zhou dynasty - abt 4000 - 5000 B.C. King Wen studied the 64 hexagrams of the " I Ching " - transl "The Book of Changes," which deals with reading the oracle and divining future events from the hexagrams based on the interactions of the principles of the Yang-unbroken line rep. Heaven, male, assertive, hard, majestic etc. and the Yin, broken line rep. the Earth, female, receptive soft, submissive etc. King Wen proved that some of the hexagrams contain examples of Quantum Physics and he worked out The Wave Theory from the hexagrams... At that time China was already using technology and running industries. King Wen was interested in Science... Other than this, I really appreciate Ismail's heaps of superlatives for China and his recognition of the greatness and the wonderful things China brings to our world.

I live and grew up in Eastern Europe. If in the UK, the 3rd richest country in the EU, things are not changing and growing very slowly, where I am things are even worse.. I can even say that China is not only its own continent, but even its own planet, its own reality. With its own internet, its own social media, its own content. So many cultures, traditions, customs, minorities, types of food, levels of social and cultural development. So many projects, so much infrastructure that never stops being built. So much natural and geographical diversity. You can go to amazing snowy landscapes, play winter sports, straight to the desert or the beach. And one party, so people have absolutely no worries about the political environment because they know the party is the people, and the party works for the people. In a country so safe, so digital, so convenient, where things are always happening and things change.. All this, in a country that's the largest by population on the planet, and the world's 2nd largest economy, soon to be first. How you, as a resident of such a country in such a context, fall asleep at night on your pillow when you know these things.. I honestly envy you, as an environmental engineering graduate, 23 years old, that you can enjoy all these conditions that China offers you (while I stay here, and have a more than nightmarish outlook about the future).. ;(

@@livinlavidaluke Thanks man, appreciate it, same to you. You pulled the lucky ticket, given that you're in China these days. The world outside of China is getting more and more chaotic (and the problem isn't that it's that way now, but that it only seems to get worse, and also that it will never go back to the way it was). Inflation is exploding, we can barely afford basic food. The gas, fuel and electricity bills are insane, and if you don't have your own apartment or house, and you have to pay rent, or you want to buy an apartment by taking out a bank loan, oh boy... The most affected are the elderly, mostly with low pensions, or people without higher education, working on minimum wage (and given that this is Eastern Europe, they are the majority). This makes the government invest even less than it used to in infrastructure (and as you probably know even from the UK, very little used to happen). Railways, roads are getting worse and worse. We have this like 2nd largest city in the country, which has no metro (only the capital has one, and that one was built in fucking 1979 when the communists were in power, and after their fall it obviously hasn't been developed at all), which they keep talking about building from like 2015 until now. Obviously it's not built to this day, and it doesn't look like it will be in the distant future, especially now with this period. Here we have to wait like 3-5 years if we want like 10-15 km of highway to be done. In the meantime, in 2024 we have 3 elections, the ones where we elect city leaders, choose which party will have a majority in parliament, but also the president. And obviously, the same old corrupt, populist, nepotistic and incompetent parties will win the majority and still rule the country until 2028, because the better alternative is not popularized enough in the media (and they also feel a bit powerless and hopeless), since the old parties have bought up all the 'free' media in the country, so the new parties are not invited to debates or promoted publicly, and what the members of the old parties do wrong is not shown on TV, simply because the news ignores news like that, and instead they talk about other things. So yeah, it's a lot of fun here :D

Having now lived here for close to 16 years I love life here. There's always new pastures to explore (Covid permitting) and an amazingly varied geography, culture and history along with an extremely friendly and welcoming population. Most Westerners form their opinion of China from the extremely biased news reports on the BBC, CNN and other western social media. I'd encourage anyone who's never visited to save up their pennies and consider visiting here especially as the Covid rules are now becoming more relaxed.

It is the most brilliant, most industrious, most ambitious, most educated, meritocratic and technocratic, most modern, sophisticated, and civilised, and best-governed by far. It is the first non-white, non-Western country to reach this status since the 1600s. The determination of this country is indescribable. Supernatural. There is no force that can stop it from accomplishing anything it wants to do. It doesn’t matter who we are. Egyptians, Syrians, Pakistanis, Indians, Africans, even Americans. Next to the Chinese, we are pathetic. We can’t do what they do. We would have a mountain, an Everest of changes to make, and we would whine and bicker and fail at every one of them. China’s story since the 1980s has been one of an almost divine metamorphosis. Next to China the entire Western world from Alaska to New Zealand has stagnated. Next to China the entire developing world from Brazil to Madagascar has progressed only at a crawl. China is the mother of all gargantuan bullet trains. Every day it manages to create something new and astonishing. And unlike the United States, unlike the British Empire, unlike the French, Dutch, Germans, Spanish, Portuguese or any other Western nation that had its turn at being a superpower in the past four centuries, China doesn’t need to run anybody over or take something from somebody else, to rise majestically.。 China is also standing up to the West all by herself. The West can’t believe their four-hundred-year-old global supremacy is being challenged. They hoped that the more China developed, the more it would submit to their influence, interests, and leadership. That didn’t happen. So now they will do anything possible, short of a nuclear war, to make China end. Their goal is to destroy this country. That’s why, although the United States has killed several million people and turned several regions of the earth into hellscapes. China is the worst fear of our planet’s Western masters. They want you to despise and dread a country that’s done nothing to you, that hasn’t invaded anyone, bombed or sanctioned anyone, that hasn’t overthrown any foreign government, or used its military on anything since 1979. China is the only major country in the nonwhite developing world, to stand up to the West. To look it in the eye when challenged or threatened. The Global South are simply Western puppets who submitted long ago. Even the most powerful ones. Saudi Arabia, Brazil, India. The 1500s-1000s BC were Egypt’s time.

And it still didn’t submit to pressure or take any orders. Why on earth would it do that now? China will be the next global power. There’s nothing that can be done about that. The first stage is that its economy only needs to grow at 4.7 percent per year to become the world’s largest by 2035. That means the usual, historical bare-minimum of 6 percent is already overkill. The US can build as many bases as it wants, slap as many sanctions as it wants, recognise whatever bogus genocides it wants. That’s what it’s been doing all along. Has any of it made a difference?

Thanks Luke for making this timely video.

Never was the country in my tour bucket list. However I had colleagues who traveled there for work spoke otherwise. I even met a German tourist who spoke perfect Mandarin told me Beijing is worth visiting. My perception change few years back when I met some mainland Chinese whose diligent work ethnics and resourcefulness absolutely blown me away, then I start to read up news from Chinese social media and foreign KZbinr and my view start to broaden. First time i paid visit to Changsha, Fujian and Beijing and i just love it. I became more positive because i could see the country has really evolved. Although the government is communist but i realize they are not the same communist hardliners that ruled in the 70s, 80s and 90s. As far as I can see at least the current leaders try to work for the public good and ruling a very populated and diversed country is never easy. i can understand why certain measures of strict law and order has to be imposed.

In the years after that I paid a few more visits to a few major cities from Shanghai to Beijing, hangzhou, Suzhou, Nanjing, Chongqing and harbin. Those were all memorable visits, but the parts I liked most were the smaller towns we stopped by along the way, preserved Ming/Qing villages and random farmhouses where we had meals… China is a place I would love to continue to visit just because there is so much I didn’t know I wanted to see or experience.

And it still didn’t submit to pressure or take any orders. Why on earth would it do that now? China will be the next global power. There’s nothing that can be done about that. The first stage is that its economy only needs to grow at 4.7 percent per year to become the world’s largest by 2035. That means the usual, historical bare-minimum of 6 percent is already overkill. The US can build as many bases as it wants, slap as many sanctions as it wants, recognise whatever bogus genocides it wants. That’s what it’s been doing all along. Has any of it made a difference? China can adapt to any situation. It took China a mere ten years to go from being barred by the US Congress from participating in the “International” Space Station, to building its own Space Station from zero.

You should find time to visit it since you are Chinese :)

[@lyx124]

Very few Westerners have the gut to find out the truth for themselves, fortunately you are one of them.

[@edc6551]

Truth prevails. Close minded Westerners will wake up one day to find how stupid and distorted media they have been listening to all their life about China.

[@jiaxim.l.6638]

Totally love your video! Thanks so much. This means a lot to me.

[@kaiki8490]

What a beautiful place. Great to see a real vid of china

[@mikef500]

Been there 5 times in 20 years. My wife is Chinese from Guanxi Province. Have every time enjoyed the hospitality of her family every visit. Allways feel safe and free there but have only visited for 3. to 4 weeks at a time so can't say what it would be like long term!

[@thabom9791]

Yes, it does change many people's minds !!! Please continue !!!😍

[@kingmancheung5511]

So appreciate your video. Greetings from Hong Kong!

[@zilaiye]

Thank you Luke for making this video, as a Chinese, I know there are many unfriendly reports from western countries, but many people don't know that those are not true. In the past few years of the epidemic, many Chinese are also dissatisfied with the government's epidemic prevention policy. It is rare to see China from the perspective of a foreigner through your video. This allows us to re-examine ourselves and reawaken our love for this lovely The love of the place, really appreciate it.

[@funglobetrotter]

well done you for being open-minded, you are benefiting from your unbiased opinion. Good on you.

[@Tinpinming]

thank you for the good work, really appreciate it going against what the western MSM's narrative is. too many people have been taught to think of china in a negative light more than anything. and it isn't helping.

[@jennyohara4011]

China is so Beautiful!

[@Justy88HK]

👍👍👍Thank you for telling the world about the truths. I really appreciate it.

[@pinggamino1023]

Your made great introduction! Your views are so beautiful! Your pronunciation is lovely!

[@armathanya8000]

Thanks for your efforts. But most haters will be haters and will not change. They are insular, and the scariest is they unwaveringly believe the rubbish dished out by their prejudiced media. Some hv not ventured out of their own backyard. And if they do, they arm themselves with criticism and subjective comparisons. Many westerners hv very limited understanding of the East.

[@eyesless908]

That's very correct. Many people who hate China have not even left their cities and countries, let alone visited China. It's useless to tell them anything. They live in deception but are very confident, which is really difficult to understand

[@kate9685]

The video was amazing, i really really liked it and i appreciate what you doing. I'm interesting in China so I'm gonna follow u cuz ur content is cool 💙.

[@竹长]

刚看了你在新疆的视频，又转到了古香的乌镇，有机会可以看看我们东北的雪山天池、内蒙的辽阔草原、海南的椰树沙滩、西藏的高原圣地、云南的江南水乡、西安的帝都皇城等等等等

[@louiserobinson1976]

Look how clean the alleyways are!

[@hunghung3766]

Enjoy watching your nice video, Luke. Good work! You also explained precisely that due to politics only negative points were reported in western media. This is sad.

[@magnaviator]

Lovely video. The canal is so pretty and peaceful. 💖🙏

[@guotaihuang2118]

Just enjoy life. Leave the prejudices behind. Thank you for the great clip.

[@ching-yi2007]

Thank you for sharing--really very gorgeous views of the streets. I will add that you should look into how they build these old homes. My understanding is the ones that dates back thousands of years were build without nails, which is a relatively modern invention.

[@eugenewu2202]

I really like the way a pommy have lived in China for more than 5 years and still enjoying the life he has conducted it. Made me think about living in China and the life has enjoyed it so much. Envy you. By the way How come the water is so clean.

[@Hermit-Crab]

Excellent video. Totally enjoyed it.

[@charlotte1228]

What a great video! Thanks for showing us around China

[@livinlavidaluke]

You’re welcome, Charlotte! Thanks for watching

[@rubbis3742]

Oh my god!!! Love the boat ride. So tranquil, so beautiful. 😘

[@raideepu4]

In the world of hypocrites thanks for being a true human. Respect!

[@glenwjohnson809]

Amazing!

[@maniaouri2146]

Outstanding video. Thank you

[@livinlavidaluke]

Appreciate it!

[@piaklim3420]

Thank you for sharing, we love people like you guys who tell the truth ❤

[@taichitommy]

Thank you for your sharing. You are right, western media have lots of biased views of China. I , a Chinese Medicine Doctor, have been living in New Zealand for more than 28 years. I know …

[@grouchypatch9185]

Watch Wave Media what one video says about a very deep rooted Western media propaganda.

[@anonymintheworld9781]

Thank you very much for sharing this ! Thank you for liking China. I am a Chinese living in the UK. Hahaha, I really want to go back to China. Unfortunately, due to various reasons, I can only stay in the UK for the time being. Maybe when my children are a little older, I will go back to China to live and work again, enjoy your life in China !

[@somno6878]

China almost has all kinds of the geographic types that you can find on this planet - a European-scale territory that borders 14 countries with 1.4 billion dwellers that consisted of 56 ethnic groups who speak over 800 language dialects with dozens of varieties of regional food of tens of thousands of ways to cook the ingredients. People are hospitable and civilised to contribute to one of the safest environments where you can walk safely on your own even during late nights

[@yananneteoh9818]

Somno China's not a European scale but 3-4 times bigger.

[@李大明-j6u]

Thank you for everything you did. Your video really inspired me a lot❤

[@ΝτανιέλαΤατάρη-θ6ε]

I enjoyed your video but something bothers me though: too short!!! I'm in love with this huge, enigmatic country, with it's history and culture. So, please show us more of it!
