Thank you to everyone for your continued support! I hope you enjoyed this interview with King answering the question: What's It Like Being a Black Man in China? All countries (including China) have a certain level of racism, but hopefully today's vlog showed you more insights into why Chinese people are welcoming to ALL foreigners who come in the country.

Cyrus, I would say "discrimination" is a better word than "racism" when you say "All countries (including China) have a certain level of racism,". People look down on other groups for various reasons. In China, it's more about the economic base, just like the confrontation between the rich and the poor. China gets along well with African countries because China does not have the baggage of colonization and slave trade. Curiosity about the different appearances of a group should not be seen as discrimination or even racism.

Negro is not part of Chinese, and you should not use skin color to play political correctness. Even we don't like black race, we are not racist, we didn't bully / discriminate / slave /etc. your race, racism is the relationship between different races in a country, black is not Chinese, and you or white can't become Chinese forever, no need to use this racial topic to paly the game. We Chinese welcome you to study, travel and work for some period, but we do not want you to be part of our society because you race is not compatible with us.

Today's Chinese, especially the older generation, may be curious about foreigners' different appearances, such as white people's big noses, and black people's skins, but that's all. Chinese people do not have the historical sins that white people did, such as the slave trade, slave labor, and the discrimination and arrogance that came with it. It's funny that CNN and BBC created the Xinjiang forced labor and genocide crimes lies with no proven pieces of evidence. Just because they committed those crimes before, they naturally think other people will do the same.

There is an Indian guy living in China said there is no comparison between India and China and that he wants to die on China soil! Just like an American, Dr William Brown who used to live in Taiwan then moved to China when he was in his 20s, he just wanted to see how China is but he ended up living in China for more than 30 years. He loves China so much that he said he gets homesick after two weeks when he goes back to the US to meet his family. He also said he would love to live in China forever and wants to die there. He speaks perfect mandarin and was interviewed many times by Chinese channels. He was a teacher or professor in a Fujian school/university when President Xi was in charge of a small village in Fujian and they know each other. He said one time when he was sick, Xi already got promoted to President Xi then and even visited him in the hospital.

As a Chinese, I won’t deny that certain Chinese people can be racist at times to Black Africans, but I would say that the racism is more so out of ignorance than hatred. That’s not to say that it’s ok, but it’s a lot easier to “solve” if ignorance is the main problem. I reckon that the same problems are present in Japan and Korea as well. China is 93% Han Chinese, so not a lot of people are exposed to other cultures and race. Even within the 93% Han Chinese, there are different Han cultures that other Han Chinese are not aware of, and ignorance may sometimes cause tensions. I’m a southern Chinese, and may sometimes find misunderstandings when communicating with some northern Chinese because I’m not used to their pattern of speech.

[@silenciothequiet3471]

Good point.

[@hyc1266]

Many older generation of Chinese, such as my 90+ mom, will discriminate all others regardless of race who are not from their native city/village. In the past, there were always fights among people from different villages.

[@grouchypatch9185]

I think that older generations and people from the rural regions have not seen people colour and being inquisitive ang ignorant might indirectly create an offense. They mean no harm like those in the west. Contempt breeds hate. China is a homogenous country for thousands years after all.

[@TAL142]

I dare to say most racism is formed from the Chinese in the west. It is not hate but simply when they immigrated to the west. They formed a bias they should be thankful to the white. They live in a white culture. Blacks were dangerous. They were violent and they were criminals.

[@hyc1266]

@@TAL142 I agree with you mostly. I don't know anything about racism until I immigrated to the US with my parent 49 years ago. Our dislike about the blacks is not due to their skin color but their "disrespectful" behavior and crimes targeting Asians and Chinese. Sure most of the blacks are good people but the few black criminals have created bad reputation of all blacks in the US. One of my best friends is black and the manager I like the most is also black. But my other personal experience is that most of the people had tried to harm and rob from me are blacks. So when I am walking on streets in US, I have to pay attention not to get too close to the blacks. Our "racism" in the US against the blacks are forced on us due to our daily life experience.

[@eddylee3826]

Chinese and Africans were trading over thousand years together, until the west came along and enslaved our people and plummeted our lands for resources and wealth , and humiliated our Race for generations , we were never enemies nor ever in history went yo war Among each other ! And may this good relationship continue for ever ! China want to rebuild Africa but the west does not want as it sees Africa as a big threat to them one day ! China and Africa can grow stronger together and all peaceful countries can participate as well

China has transformed a lot. China may not be the best country but today China is different and is very safe with many places of interest and cultural displays. Surely you will like China after you have made your trip there. Don’t listen to fools who have not been there but just like to share their sour grapes.

No Africa in China.

[@mijmijrm]

it would be interesting to compare Racisim between those nations within the US Empire and those independent of the US Empire. My theory is those nations within the US Empire (with a history of African slavery and colonialism), and under the media influence of the US Empire, have a built in assumption that racism is natural and everywhere. Whereas those outside the US Empire believe racism is learned. /nb: differentiating between racism as basis of superiority/inferiority rather than simply being aware that races have differing physical characteristics.

[@dehua-2730]

I think racism is both learned and natural. Growing I've been called the nastiest word you can imagine as a Chinese. But I don't even consider this as racism because in nature it's pretty normal if you look different, you tend to stand out. But racism for me is systematic dehumanization of a race or culture by a state such as the US and the West.

[@antwango]

Racism is down to ignorance and among the older generation in China....... Its how the British saw Prince Phillip as old and quirky!!!! BUT he was a ROYAL and wealthy! the racism if you encounter it in China would be among the old, uneducated, uncultured that have been locked / isolated away from the booming rest of China hence the rapid construction of HSR to bring EVERYONE together...... Im not saying only old chinese people are racist! im saying that theyre not........ used to, some things have been engrained, and is not meant to harm or insult...... like bad habits! its not the same as im going to stop you in traffic because youre black! im going to shoot you because youre black! or i hate you because youre black! You see Chinese and Japanese get along just fine too! Married with children! You see the Japanese speak very highly of the Chinese and the opposite of Japan! And no theyre not paid! youtube Hezhimeng with Ryo a Japanese director...... i love his work and his types of videos! Im in the UK! i still encounter racism and misunderstandings from old from young! UK considered first world, civilised and polite!!!!!? Surrey too!!!!

The truth? You want to live in Africa ? The black refuse to live in Africa, with the black. The black are racists or not ? Don’t be fooled by this white stupidity. The White like to show their superiority by treating the black as children , without hard work. This white has hidden himself in China for so long, that he doesn’t even know that the black have already the total control of the West. Wait and see : the West will be destroyed by the black ; the White will be the new slaves in the West.

I like that part King and Cyrus, "When you speak the Chinese language, people just open up." That is the key most Africans are missing. Africans speak English or French relegating the African language to a second or none language. The West tried to discredit China by using the COVID situation but the failed. Thank you for telling us this story about China. Please, which city in China should I travel to?

[@ycyc6619]

It depends on which aspect of culture you like. China is too big, thousands of years old, and has accumulated too many cultures. If you like the modernization of business technology, then go to Guangdong. If you like history, then go to Beijing and Xi'an. This is only a small part, and more information needs to be planned by oneself.

[@JS-ih7lu]

China is the size of a continent. It’s like asking which part of Asia, Europe, Africa you should go to on your first trip, and different people will have different answers. Suggest you do your own research and plan your trip based on what interests you.

[@user-tc7db3vj3v]

@@ycyc6619 Historically, I do not agree with Beijing and Xi 'an, but with Henan and Xi' an.

[@b30574]

i personally recommend shanghai or hong kong for those who aren’t super familiar and comfortable with chinese culture at first. both are a large city with lots of tourism, so the locals will be more experienced with foreigners there, and the two cities are more “western” than other parts of china. however, you can choose to go somewhere else for a more authentic view of chinese culture

I can't say I ever encountered racism in all my years in China. I did encounter ignorance or a little arrogance bordering on offensive or intrusive, but never anything I could reasonably call 'racism' directed at me. On the whole, I found Chinese people very approachable and pleasant to meet outside of work during personal time. This is vastly different from my experiences growing up cross-culture (not Chinese) and two cultures with an island mentality that comes across as inherently hostile to anything 'other.'

My thoughts on Guangzhou's issue, it's like in any other communities, if you behave respectfully and peacefully, you won't have any issues; but if you behave badly and enragedly, you would definitely run into some issues, and this would only intensify because of you look differently in their community.
