Money: the reason why China won’t ban Christmas

[@Pierina.24]

Merry Christmas everyone. Thank you for the video Rafael.

[@azharidris7092]

Rafa.. not being rude.. the Christmas decorations in China is 100 time more spectacular than any they can put up in the so called Christian west.. in fact most big major cities in the Asia pacific like Singapore.. Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur have better Christmas decorations.. they do it for commercial reasons.. an excuse to make the Mall very beautiful.. majority of the outdate mall in the west.. especially those in the US no longer exist.. due to being abandon through bankruptcy..

[@allenwong2219]

Agreed. Toronto city hall Christmas decorations are dirty cheap. A big Xmas tree that's about it.

[@Guest-e1d]

Malls don't exist anymore because you are too lazy to go shopping. You just sit with your big fat ass in your chair shopping online. 😡

[@strongchallenger2269]

​@@allenwong2219same same in Australia 🤮

[@yakuza01]

Yeah, I was about to say. What you see in the video is so much better than some of the stuff I used to see in NYC. Don't get me wrong, it was always nice to see the tree at Rockefeller center but China doesn't cheap out with the visuals either.

[@Way827]

All across Europe and in China, by the look of it, the Christmas markets have the same German theme.

Christmas and Boxing Day are public holidays in Hong Kong

[@desousarolandoeduardo5749]

CHINA HAVE HIS CHINESE NEW YEAR TO CELEBRATE AND THIS COME FOR THOUSANDS YEARS OF HISTORY

[@cilantrolemon3542]

In Macau Christmas and Boxing Day is a public holiday also. Both territories had western influence and quite a lot of Hong Kongers are Christians.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Rafa!

[@squashdevicer]

Most Christmas stuff are made in China anyway.

[@cheungchingtong]

More than 80% last year.

[@dstr1]

If China doesn't even ban their ethnic celebrations, why would they ban Christmas?!

[@francischristian9105]

"Everything made in China 2025" make it come true.👏👏

[@merob7238]

Merry Christmas! 圣诞快乐! 🎄🎅

[@enzhus]

US holiday season starts with Thanks Giving, ends with Christmas and New Year; China holiday season starts with Christmas and New Years, ends with Chinese New Year and Lantern Festival

[@Trueye-sl2mr]

There is freedom of worship in China. But there is no reason for it to be a public holiday just like Vesak, Deevapali, etc. are not public holidays in western nations

[@KingFinnish]

Religion is a book to preach Peace and sometimes Evil - look around the World and you can tell the difference

[@yakuza01]

To be clear, in HK, Xmas and Boxing day ARE public holidays. Not in mainland though.

[@kinwaisiu9414]

Chinese also celebrate the day Christ born too, celebrating Christmas isn't western privilege 🤗 Merry Christmas Everyone. 🎅🎄

[@greyson3452]

merry Christmas !!!!!!!!!

[@ViceCoin]

I ignore all hellidays, except new years.

[@夏宁-s2p]

Religion is about money.

[@KlKl-k4x]

Don't be stupid. Get your facts right. A Roman emperor renamed the winter solstice as Christmas. The Chinese winter solstice occurred a few days earlier. So, Christmas is just another hyped-up winter solstice holiday.

[@RobinChen-q6y]

XMas is Christian is hoilday, it's an religionary holiday, there is few Christian in China in fact.

[@Dusk_hunter]

In my country there is only 1% Christian still a national holiday. People don't understand what peace is? Do you? 99% don't celebrate at all but it's a day off no work. Who would say no to a holiday. 😂😂😂
