Thank you, Jerry! ❤ Let the haters be haters. China isn't perfect so is every other country. When China was poor, the haters looked down on it; now China is improving drastically economically and militarily, the haters hate it. There is absolutely nothing China or the Chinese government can do to please them or change their mind on China. Their opinions don't matter either. China or the Chinese government has more important things to work on.

[@wenkeadam362]

I consider myself to be open minded and intelligent. But it hasn't been easy for me to get a clear understanding of China. You see, for a very long time I was not interested in what was going on in Asia at all, having more than enough with trying to keep abreast with events in my part of the world South America. But some 8 years ago I started to suspect that my views on China were shallow and dated, and more influenced by western media than I liked. So I began to actively try to educate myself about China. It took me almost a year just to find a group of online sources that seemed reliable enough to follow more closely. Then I looked for books for a deeper understanding and was lucky enough to stumble upon Mahbubani and Martin Jacques early on. After a while I realized that the speed of change in China was so tremendous that some stories I read were totally dated just after a few years. My breakthrough in understanding only came when I started to follow closely the incredible feat of the 2020 last legs of the extreme poverty erradication program. Yes! It worked! It was nothing like the IMF/WB poverty alleviation projects I had seen fail again and again in Africa and south America over the years. Yes! It was working in China because it addresses all the intertwined causes of poverty at the same time. That was the moment when I truly understood the scale and functionality of the Chinese revival. I am too old and too poor to hope to visit China in my lifetime, but I am very happy to follow its development from afar. And your channel has been very useful for me. Thanks for your tireless efforts.

Singapore isn't "way behind China". Their infrastructure is new. Singapore's main infrastructure is at least 30 or 40 years old. They also have 300 times more people than us, and that affects their output and their talents. They have some innovative ways that are ahead of us, and we have some systems ahead of them. It is not really fair to compare. But whatever it is... we should be proud of what China has achieved, and that they modelled themselves after Singapore.

[@saikeongliew674]

They had to start somewhere. With something for a target, a benchmark and a guide. I am from Malaysia and I know how good is Singapore. In the earlier days, Mr. Deng Xiaoping's (who was the leader of China that time), visited Singapore who was under the leadership of Mr. Lee Kwan Yew. He had a vision that China should become as good and as democratic as Singapore or even better, no less. And now, China had reached their target on zero absolute poverty and I hope they will continue to keep up the good work. And we pray that the next China's leader after Xi Jinping will not be a nut head that will spoil the soup by being aggressive and violent. Long live China. Long live Singapore.

You see.. there will always be racists and haters out there regardless the issue.. no matter what good you do, they will always see the bad in it. As per the Chinese proverb picking bones in an egg. But that is what the Chinese government appreciates, the moment you say they are not good enough, they would build or do something to improve it. The more you nitpick the better they become, until you have no complaints. They had become so good nowadays that other countries envy. For the some governments, in order not to let their own failure in comparison come into the spotlight, they had to point finger at another issue may it be true or not and make it as sensational as possible, such as the Xinjiang cotton farm human rights issue. Like every magic trick, you draw your audience 's attention elsewhere while you carry out your tricks. One of the oldest trick but still effective.

Unless people visit China themselves, they are not easily convinced. Seeing a country with your own eyes is in my opinion, the best education. This is one of the reasons I gave up watching TV and buying Newspapers over 14 years ago. I prefer to research and then make up my own mind. Many in my opinion, are too lazy or just lack critical thinking skills. Even when presented with verifiable facts, some people will unfortunately never be convinced.

(I meant to send you an email but forgot 😆 ) I noticed that a branch of KFC had a small fridge outside of the resturant where they put left over food , with a sign saying anyone who wanted it could take it. Contrast that with the extent western business go to to ensure no-one gets anything without paying full price... Andy from 'Reports on China' did a video about how China handles homelessness, well worth a watch.

[@jerrystakeonchina799]

Andy is great, I'll be in Shanghai next month and hope to catch up with him - I think it's a good idea to use the KFC fridge option the problem in the west is someone would steal the fridge!

[@rap3208]

The americans won't ever do that as it will lead to them getting sued, so it is better for them to throw away perfectly good food but may be unethical to sell instead of risking being sued. perhaps in the old days, some used to do it but one by one they disappeared, now noone will evere do that.

[@cool-eye3674]

More often, a paradigm shift could be a painful experience. A lot of people would do whatever it would take to avoid facing the truth. After all, staying inside a cocoon was a more comfortable choice than eating a humble pie. Like what you said, those denial thoughts made people looked stupid. In contrast to "buying popularity", the western election system does open bribery aiming at their voters. At the end, those promised bribes were often forgotten or swept under the carpet. Hence, it resulted in the poor state of infrastructure in the west. Still, too many people decide to stay in their "comfort zone" by neglecting the China truth.

This is, so far, one of your best, Jerry. It is quite exhausting to defend China from poorly informed people. They have been fed false soundbites and do not know any better. The worst part about this is that the critical reporting, once the hallmark of our investigative free press, is no longer functioning. It has become one voice (left and right-leaning) to amplify how China is bad. It is rather sad and depressing. Kudos, Jerry.

Those who are living in China have a better window to view the reality of China, good and bad. Most of these values come from experiences so living in a country is the best way to face the reality of a country.

I love this post and like others, admire your patience greatly. There are so many people I could think of forwarding this to in the US (where I have my residence; am currently elsewhere). However, given the anti-China climate in the US and the people's overall disgust with US's domestic politics, most of them are turned off on politics, either domestic or foreign. Unfortunately, they still read their mass media and will readily accept ridiculous claims and disinformation about their opposition party while vehemently defend every piece of disinformation about their own party. The democrats will defend themselves against every piece of negative information about them while the republicans would do the same with respect to defending themselves against every piece of negative information about them. Yet, both sides would readily accept that their media is telling them the truth with regards to every piece of negative information about China, even when there is nothing but negative news about China. One would think that it is common sense that floods, scorching hot weather, landslides, collapsing roof(s) do not just happen to people in China. Essentially, the phenomena that has occurred is that too many in the US readily accepts as true every piece of negative information about parties, countries, and ethnic groups they have been primed to disdain, and defend against every piece of negative information concerning the political party they belong. It is as if their minds are closed shut against anything political that does not already conform with their belief. It is a scarry situation.

Thank YOU so much too for allowing me the opportunity to live in China and find out how wrong I was about the place for so many years

[@lucas8858]

As always Jerry, your excellent explanation & just ignore the haters...

[@jerrystakeonchina799]

Thanks Lucas, generally, I do

Seeing is believing. The truth always prevails. However, most American and many British politicians are hell bent against China for no good reason. They just want to deflect attention away from their own failure, so they use China as a scapegoat. I have visited China. Many of my friends and relatives have visited China. Their experience of China's rapid advancement is a testament to the true positive scale of development. China is a developing country. It is always developing. In contrast, mainland Chinese who visit Europe or the US will find the infrastructure of those countries second or third rate.

My wife is currently in Australia, she loves the supermarkets but can't believe that the only way to travel to the city, which is 40 kilometres away is by a train which takes about 70 minutes - she also hates the Wifi situation because, as soon as she get out of the city even the phones don't work!

Good one Jerry

Well spoken. I travelled to Beijing recently and visited BUCT. That university uses facial recognition to enter buildings, etc. When I returned and told my friends and they say that is creepy to face scan and knows where your entered. Well I said it is no difference when I need to swipe my card to enter buildings at university in NZ and they know who and when enters the buildings too. So you see the stereotyping by those who are already biased mentally.

That's interesting many in China believe it's common for the government and the employer to know more about us than is common in the west, what they don't realises is, even though China is quite open about it, all the same and probably more data is gathered on us in the West - we have no privacy online anymore, that's for sure - if people think they have, then I have a bridge for sale!

Appreciate your hard work and thanks

I guess everyone is entitled to have his/her preference, but it should be based on educated information with objective mind, fact-based. A lot of times, it takes putting ourselves away from our usual perspectives and examine from different angles. From very early childhood I understand that being different is just being different, not necessarily good or bad in lots of cases. Then I learn ancient history should be read with caution as they were written and edited by the dynasty replacing them. Chinese has a very wise idiom - “No book at all is far better than to trust a book entirely!” and Confucius said “To study without thinking is deceptive. To think without studying is dangerous.”

[@jerrystakeonchina799]

Confucius really said some wise things - couldn't agree more

Jerry, I admire your patience with those people, if I were u I would kill myself in sheer anger (guess it has something to do with age). It’s not easy for you to face all these haters and be consistent and persistent on what u r doing today. A lite side of the story for you, that might cheer you up. In 1992, I was working as a cleaner in one of the “hotels” in Wildwood, New Jersey, and of course being a Chinese in those days, we were always being viewed as just another Chinese guy doing chicken fried rice for everyone in the West. Discrimination was so common that I just took it as it was the universal truth. Then I met a white guy, my manager, a North Caroline person, who had great respect on Chairman Mao (of which I have no idea why, I personally dislike Mao’s policy especially later on in his life), but this White American protected me from abuses from others and I thank him for that. I did ask him one time, why were u so nice to me, and he said becoz I reminded him of Mao’s philiosphy. Well, that was the very first time, I was respected by a white guy in the United States - after that visit to the US which lasted 3 months, I concluded one thing, not all White People in US are out there to beat us up, to take advantage out of us, and to step on us, there are GOOD people in the US even though he was just a head of the cleaner unit. There are still hopes, just focus your energy on the ones who could be saved. And. Ignore those (the haters) who do not deserve your time and effort. In the path of evolution, survival the fittest. Those idiots will eventually be casted aside by nature of human history. So don’t get upset by those idiots.

[@jerrystakeonchina799]

Thanks Magicsmurfy, that's a great story - I personally know some great Americans too - I know they aren't all the same. I also know peopls from all walks of life, rich, poor, religious, atheist and even some Dems and Reps, we all have our own ways and most of us can get along well in this world - it's really good to hear that Mao had some fans over there and I'm with you, his last few years were somewhat chaotic

Very good observation, Jerry thank you

[@soothsayer2406]

Thank you Jerry so much!! The world hegemon wants to suppress other people's advancement so that they stay on top of the heap, even if the heap is a nuclear wasteland.

[@jerrystakeonchina799]

That's a good point - there's not much point being safe on Air Force One if all you have to land on is a nuclear wasteland
