I Stumbled on the Macau-China Border

[@esferademanu]

I was 4 years ago in Europe. The bus was being checked on boarders, by police with dogs, they take some refugees, with their children, the woman was crying, it was like in a movie. Human rights and political boundaries is a global problem. Of course is more easy to see when you are at the neighbors house.

Very interesting :)

dude i love the way you talk, greetings from chile !

[@zetareticulan321]

You gonna do a Masters of Macau series one day?

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]

Afaik there isn’t really much martial arts there

[@Bryan-yy1up]

Do Macanese understand and speak Portuguese on a daily basis? or do they speak Chinese and Cantonese on a daily basis?

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]

They don’t really use Portuguese now, but I heard they do learn it at school. It’s mostly Cantonese, Mandarin and a bit of English

[@Bryan-yy1up]

@@MonkeyStealsPeach that’s interesting

[@joezane]

Berlin was divided by a wall for a long time. Cyprus in Greece still is. Borders are strange between countries, but even more weird WITHIN them. Sad really.

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]

And North and South Korea, who’s border I’ve also been to

[@peterwang5660]

If you're going to stay around the ZHM area for one more semester's worth of time I might get the chance to meet you hahaha.

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]

Sorry man, this is an old vid from Jan 2023.

[@hound8881]

I don't understand the switching from left to right side driving. Can you explain how that happens?. Thank you sir😊

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]

Hong Kong and Macau being former British and Portuguese colonies all drive on the left. Mainland China all drives on the right. As for how they switch at the border, I'm not entirely sure, I assume the road must criss cross at some point and have a traffic light or something to avoid collisions.

John Lennon's "Imagine" springs to mind. "I hope some day you'll join us. And the world will live as one." Unfortunately, it's not happening in my lifetime.

[@robertsutherland6162]

The countries and borders have given us a variety of cultures and ways of life that makes it interesting. But agreed like anything else it has an opposing side. People not given lines has it's own share of problems and humans are rather tribal.

[@jeffreysetapak]

Do you actually knows what does it mean when Chinese said monkey steal peach 猴子偷桃?? Hee hee hee hee 😁😁😁😁

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]

知道

[@yestoadventure007]

How has Macau escaped the same communist crackdown that Hong Kong recently suffered?

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]

Macanese mostly kept quiet during this period, as most of their economy is built around rich mainlanders spending money in the casinos. There’s some interesting videos that go into depth on the difference between Hong Kong and Macau if you search around.

[@O-Kyklop]

Do not comment on things you, evidently, do not understand. In Europe there is surveillance like everywhere else. Just keep talking about martial Arts, buddy.

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]

thanks for the feedback, buddy

[@O-Kyklop]

@@MonkeyStealsPeach Yeah…Ok. Just keep on your track, martial arts. Therein you’re good and entertaining, bringing very interesting stories about it. Don’t meddle with politics if this isn’t your field of action. You could say things which are inaccurate or incomplete and, to that, get into troubles if you once has to go to China for business having forgotten what you have said once on this video. It doesn’t get lost what you say online. It is just for your safety.

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]

Actually I have a master degree in International Relations, and work part time as a Geopolitical Analyst on Asia-Pacific affairs. So…. Yes…. I do understand

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]

And I didn’t say anything controversial in this video, I pointed out a fact that there is a border separating mainland China from Macau, and that people can’t move freely between it.

[@O-Kyklop]

@@MonkeyStealsPeach Ok. You understand these matters but now I do not understand why your remark. Is there the only place on this Planet where people can’t move freely from one place to another? Besides, as a geopolitical analyst, you must know very well about Macau, HK and the British….would you let the borders just open? And besides again, it is the Chinese government who is deciding if your remark was controversial or not…..btw...

[@chernhwei]

If there wasn’t colonisation to begin with, you wouldn’t even be able to upload this stuff to KZbin from Macau. Just saying. The cause and effects of history.

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]

Agreed, there’s so many “ifs” with history. It’s all cause and effect.
