Something I love about the Chinese is they give a pretty fair and well balanced opinion about others. Even if it’s not necessarily something you want to hear.

[@snakers716]

It's a country with 1.4 billion people. To say "the Chinese" seems silly. Just like most any country there are some logical and well balanced people with good insight, but if you've traveled in China you would know that there's a lot of really stupid people. Same with the US.

I grew up in New Orleans, Louisiana USA - a beautiful city with lovely people. Yet it is often called the "murder capital of the world". Growing up I have always been very cautious of my surroundings. There are certain neighborhoods you avoid and you don't do stupid things like walk around late at night alone looking like you have money. The first time I went to Beijing, some elderly ladies I was traveling with wanted to visit the Pearl Market. The clerk at the hotel said "It's only a few blocks away, just walk there." And they did, and they were safe. In fact, they went every night and I even joined them. To me, THAT is freedom.

Do you know if you remove two group of ethinc people from USA populatoin,there would be a HUGE plummet in homicides, armed robbery, and physical assaults? This what the Leftist media that is controlled by Demcratic party hides from you. This what started the policy of the police and news media will never describe the physical attributes of the person to you anymore. The USA now protects the criminals merely becuase of their skin color. Take all the major cities. New York City will never tell you the ethnic break down of homicides (unless you huntdown the website of the New York City Police Department which I did). Well, on average each year, the homicides by combination of Whites, Asians, is going to be less than 7% on average. Whites are 37.5% of NYC and Asians are 14.5%. That is, that two population is 52% of NYC but they rarely commit homicides, armed robbery or assaults. It is like that in all the major cities but this fact is hidden.

Isn’t it interesting how most of the interviewees qualify their answers with “but I’ve never been there,” or “correct me if I’m wrong,” or “I don’t know if my understanding is fair.” To me, that’s a great indication of self-awareness and a degree of media literacy. I think that’s a big contrast with Americans these days, where so many people are not just wrong, but confidently wrong. Add the lack of self-reflection on to the pile of growing problems in today’s America. 🙃

OMG You are so right. I'm an American Travel Agent who LOVES China, especially the people. I am constantly trying to correct Americans' incorrect assumptions.

Great interview. I disagree with the lady that said we call our parents or grandparents by their first names, I would never call my parents or grandparents by their first name

[@proudwhovian5161]

Yeah, I was also surprised by that. As an American I think it's very uncommon for Americans to call their parents or grandparents by their names. I think with grandparents and (at least where I'm from) even aunts and uncles, it might be pretty common to include their first name with their family title, like Grandpa John or Aunt Linda. Maybe that's what they meant?

[@MandarinCorner2]

I believe she was referring to elders who are not immediate family members like parents or grandparents. In Chinese culture, we address older individuals whom we do not know personally as "grandpa," "grandma," "uncle," "auntie," and so forth. Similarly, we refer to older siblings as "gege" (elder brother) or "jiejie" (elder sister) and avoid calling them by their first names, as that would be seen as disrespectful.

[@waltbeasley5878]

As a retired US Naval Vet of 30 years, let me just state for the record, that the US DOES instigate wars, overthrow governments (indirectly) and create chaos around the world for military, political and financial gain. However, having said that, not all conflicts are created or instigated by us. Many times there is internal strife and the current government asks for our help because we are either allies or to help stabalize the economy. There are many misconceptions about the US. While the US is in no way perfect, is lacking in many areas, we do have many decent aspects as well. The Media (US and international) tend to either sensationalize or exagerate many things. So much so that even many of our own citizens can't tell whats true or not. So when people make broad sweeping statements, one must first understand that perception is relative, even within ones own country. When making assumptions or forming opinions based solely on limited information one is ALWAYS bound to wrong in many aspects.

[@TetanusSnowfall]

Unsurprisingly you do the whole "invade or overthrow" thing a few dozen times that's what you get known for, no matter how altruistic you think helping a dictator is when he asks.

[@horridohobbies]

I agree. Americans are not all bad, just as the Chinese are not all bad. But the Chinese respect other nations, while the Americans do not. The Chinese do not invade other countries (at least, not since 1979), while the Americans do. The Chinese don't weaponize their currency to punish other countries with sanctions. The Chinese don't demonize the Americans with lies about genocide, forced labor, concentration camps, and so on. The Chinese don't interfere in the internal politics of Hawaii, California, or Texas to try to encourage secession. The Chinese don't risk World War III or nuclear war by fighting a proxy war in Ukraine. None of this is sensationalized nor exaggerated. It's just the truth. But I like the American people. In person, they tend to be friendly and hospitable and generous. They produce great entertainment like movies, music and television. And I deeply sympathize with them because their government neglects them by allowing homelessness, gun violence, poor health care, etc. I sympathize with their war vets who deserve much better for their service. I wish the Americans the best, but I'm not optimistic because of their politics. Sorry, I have to call it as I see it.

The same way if you ask most Americans they don’t fully understand why they live they way they live but they also respect it.

These people are spot on. If anything America is far worse than what these people imagine. From the horrific violence and threat of violence towards people of other races (Asians, Chinese, Indian, Muslims, Arabs, Black, African, Latino) it is the most racist country on earth. Not to mention they wage brutal and genocidal wars on others who try to go against their economic or military systems. The information propaganda is the worst, they paint every other nation as "non democratic" as a way to later then instigate war against them. Everything they say is true about the divide between rich and poor, everyone is worked to the bone to the point no one has any time to care about anyone else. This is even worse for immigrants who basically have little rights and are threatened by their employers and colleagues by being fired and losing their visa then being deported.

I love how they said the U.S instigates wars and doesn’t help others. Looking at data, the U.S. has given billions in humanitarian aid around the world, either through government, non-profit organizations, and individually. Records show that the U.S. and its people are the most giving in the world, and if it wasn’t for that aid, the world would be much different- and not in a good way.

[@nickmcnellis3937]

So true, we give our money to almost the entire world. Whether through government programs, charity or military support. You name it. There is no country that has given more to the world. As far as starting wars, I can't think of one war the US has started other then the American Civil War.

[@ozgur2418]

I love how your comment completely ignores the bigger picture. Sure, the U.S. gives billions in aid, but it extracts trillions from poorer nations through unfair trade, debt, and corporate exploitation. Aid is just a band-aid to cover up the damage caused by the very systems the U.S. helps enforce. If the U.S. were truly 'the most giving,' it wouldn’t be profiting off the same countries it claims to help. Get your head out of your ass.

[@Yogurteater1234]

U.S. aid is dwarfed by the trillions extracted from poorer nations through debt, unfair trade, and exploitation. The aid narrative hides the systemic harm caused by these very policies.

By education, they're referring to University Education.

9:33 She hasn't heard the English people from other regions. Oh boy would she be shocked to listen to that English from England.

Very good content Eileen. 🙏 Well done as always. It’s funny to hear people talk about the US starting wars everywhere. Want a piece of reality? Everybody wants to live here. I know many many Chinese who fully intend to stay here in the US. Nothing against China, but everyone likes our freedoms and everyone knows how kind Americans truly are, and how fair our system truly is. Any idea of anything else is pure propaganda. Btw, the PRC threatens Taiwan everyday, as well as the Philippines and nearly all of its border nations. Spinning the war thing back to the US is pure gaslighting. Once again Eileen, thanks for the great study content 💫

I enjoy your educational interviews but unfortunately they do not benefit beginners

[@Liface]

Somehow I feel like our opinions would be less positive if you did this interview in the USA...

Sorry but American's really do care what the Chinese think about them.

[@MrKeepnit100]

What about Black Americans?

[@Sunshinerainglow]

Aww that’s all cute,,,you guys are way too generous and are too kind. Yall know humility... because do you even know what the avg Americans say about the Chinese? My comment would get deleted within 30 seconds just conveying the truth. 😆

These girls have no clue how beautiful they are compared to how judgemental and narcissistic women are in the US

Chinese movies are more realistic, we cannot do anything alone

[@sokkimly8182]

Great interview, but they need to understand more about America, in order to do so, travel abroad more often to those countries that have google and Meta just a few.

[@rongerardo1193]

Chinese women are so beautiful 😍

[@stuartroberson9646]

That's nonsense. I've never seen kids call their grandparents by their first name. She saw it on television and believes that it is wide spread.

[@hdajq892ey7]

if i called my parents by anything other than mother and father, i would no longer have a mother and father 😂😂😂😂

The racism thing isn't true at all.
