Sending China's Rich Kids to Boarding School - Ep. 4 | The Bling Dynasty | GQ

[@SneakyNinjaSistas]

"When my mom used to be a normal person.. I mean, not wealthy." Lol

[@Bogusgal]

That's not what she said.

[@SneakyNinjaSistas]

@@Bogusgal That's the joke dumbass

[@dejausser]

Just realised that a girl I was friends with while I lived in the UK was one of these kids. She was also one of the loveliest, kindest people I've had the priviledge of knowing -I met her while we were both volunteers at a homelessness charity, she'd just finished her masters in education at the University of Edinburgh.

[@woodrowclose]

+Caitlin Sinclair I knew a student from China who was a cleaner in our company (London). She had two jobs whilst studying and she too was a wonderful person. I always presumed that she was from a poor family but I only just found out that her family was quite rich. Not the spoilt brat as many are portrayed.

[@FunFactsIndonesia123]

+Manzur 007 a poor family most certainly can not afford to send their kids to The UK. So yeah almost all international students come from quite wealthy families and the rest is from scholarship. The International students pay the whole tuition fees by themselves.

[@MichaelMisoi]

+Bernard Liem True that. All International students in the UK are either from wealthy or on scholarship. Most of whom are the former because it is really difficult to get a full scholarship in the UK. I know lots of people who have studied in the US around me but only a handful in the UK

[@TynanCreations]

+Manzur 007 That's really rare. .usually rich CHinese parents would NEVER allow their child to do manual labor. Especially cleaning. Maybe she was not so wealthy.

[@woodrowclose]

Yes, I was really surprised. She told a colleague that her family had money, but never myself. But when she says that her family has money it's all relative. She certainly didn't give me the impression that she was from a rich family, considering the amount of time she had to spend working, maybe they were fairly comfortable so in her eyes she might have classed herself as rich, but not rich enough for her to live off her parents.

[@LizNguyen]

A Chinese international student, that lives in the apartments I used to live at, drives a Masarati lol. My friend actually made a business out of it, where he would buy their luxury cars for less since they had to move back to their country and didn't have a lot of time to sell.

[@sthalxndr]

+Liz Nguyen Luu Why did you stop making videos a year ago? I'm sure people would love to hear about your life/story etc..... (that was not sarcasm btw.)

[@Nanomachines5on]

At my old university, many Chinese international students would simply throw out their HD TV's they had bought that year only to come back after summer vacation to buy another! I bought one for ridiculously cheap ($10)!

[@HuyHoang-du6ec]

[@randy4875]

[@criminalbabyx]

Why is this made into a Chinese thing... rich parents of all ethnicities 'ship' their children off to prestigious boarding schools/train them with all kinds of lessons from a young age

[@Blakezilla594]

Omair K seattle too. I drive around neiborhoods (all with $1million+ houses) sometimes and see a overwhelming majority of Asian ethnicities walking on the side walks, tending to gardens, driving, etc. It's not a bad thing, however, it is when in excess. Why not improve your own country. More people here in the U.S does mean more circulation of money and improves the economy, but it does significantly rise property prices and pushes away the 'native' population.

[@B2022-n3n]

why is it bad when in excess?

[@noeswantra2295]

+criminalbabyx true that but theres no such bigger market than China on this thing.

[@yanjuanwu6167]

what's wrong with the free market? what's wrong with a diverse population? isn't that always the label of US, LOL, and technically, except Indigenous Peoples, NO ONE IS BELONG TO NATIVE POPULATION

[@Hw5f]

As omair k said its bad to the point hwere half of the UC population are chinese and you can hear international asians all over the UC campuses. It also affects kids that are instate trying to go to UCs because they would rather take the international student for the tuition.

[@StickyWhiteSubstanc3]

Man if you were poor and became successful, you would want the best for your kids? or no? This is just the textbook way of becoming successful. So getting good grades and going to a good university or no? Why is it being ashamed on? I know it's immense pressure but it's just wanting the best for your kids. Inheriting money is good but if you are not educated money blows as fast as the wind.

[@aaliyahdouglass2166]

Because poor people envy

[@thunderplunder1013]

Its true, this point is true. As long as they are nice and polite its good.

[@aidengoulet2104]

I go to boarding school and the amount of pressures these kids have on themselves is super unhealthy

[@devapala879]

Because getting branded education is like getting branded cars and jewellery. Doesn't make the kid happy or even successful in the long run

[@PinkNintendoDuo87]

Sadly, there's a grain of truth to the double-edged stereotype that is "educational prestige." When you're Asian, you're likely influenced by this mindset (to some degree). Educational prestige especially matters in developing countries because education is viewed as a “key” to socio-economic mobility. In many developed (Western) countries, it doesn’t really matter as long as alternatives exist. Keep in mind that they’re “different” forms of privilege.

[@nojo294]

As an Asian myself, I don't understand how some of these kids get into certain universities without their parents smothering money all over the place. I once asked some chinese students a simple question and not one of them could speak English... in a class where you need to write essays in English. What is life.

[@nezhokojo1641]

+nojo294 lol some of these Chinese students pay other people to write their essays and stuff. My friend that was in university/college wrote some of these people's assignments and essays for literally a few hundred dollars.

[@nojo294]

+Johnny Zhong degrees dont mean much

[@JasonCtutorials]

+fa11234 Yup! Seen that before!

[@Juningch]

That only means you met some of the worst students. Bad for you. If you have ever met any good students, not necessarily the best, you'd understand why.

[@nojo294]

+Stomachen which is why I said "some" in my original comment.

Yea these rich kids have their parents buying them designer cars and clothes, but the amount of pressure they're put under? They're not in the U.S to just flaunt their wealth, they're there to study and learn proper English.

[@raineaine2560]

Why can't you guys just admit your jealous. Like I'll straight up admit I'm hella envious of these kids. I wish I could pull up to school in a Maserati wearing Gucci and carrying a LV backpack. Like goals, and don't act like if some of y'all had money you wouldn't do the same

[@甘洪源-b6p]

I like you

[@kopusproductions]

Some of us really wouldn't do the same. You jumped to a rather quick and convenient conclusion under the pretense that all of us are: A) Consumers and willing participants of capitalism. B) Materialistic in character. C) Dimwitted clout chasers and the by products of western decadence. D) Employing the same method of rationalization as you. I can sit here behind my laptop, pursue a career as a keyboard hero, and hack away at every fault and crack in your argument, but I don't care enough about your comment to go on contributing to the aforementioned list above and encourage the parading stupidity of what I just locked my eyes on.

[@burntomato1994]

Seriously let down by GQ. While true, a lot of wealthy families are under the impression that receiving education from western countries is better for the future of the kids. The video editing technique employed in every single one of GQ's videos on China purposely highlights the ignorance and stupidity of the Chinese people with phrases like the "golf is originated from America right?" mind you that's a 15 year old kid speaking, but somehow this GQ made it possible for her to represent China. There are real genuine people looking to contribute to the society in China, GQ viewers just never got the chance to see them, all they see is the rich kids going to little ivy leagues and rich women-to-be eating bananas with a knife and a fork. Foreigners please don't blindly believe in this ridiculously one sided image portrayed by GQ, realise that this is merely a propaganda for your entertainment.

[@keking2178]

I got sent to a Canadian "homestay" family when I was 16. The whole time felt like a Jane Eyre story. No one thinks about this from the kids perspective. I totally understand these kids showing off their wealth cause they got no friends and relatives at this foreign place.

[@imawesome69]

Harder than it sounds for an outsider to make friends. Definitely possible. But very hard. People tend to gravitate towards those they are similar to. And it's hard if there are no one with the same life experiences as yourself.

[@yidanyidan2447]

I couldn't agree more. Language barrier, cultural difference and different life experience - all these make it very different to make friends in a foreign countries. Certainly, a few people can adopt to a new environment and have friends sooner.

[@ConcernedResident_GiantStack]

My old boss was like you, holia: Chinese guy who went as a foreign exchange student when he was in high school. First he went to one family and he hated it and could only stay there a year. Then he went to another family and he said the mom there treated him nice, always cooked. The dude then went to college in America before going back and being a successful businessman in China. (He had family connections and I think that was the source of his success: more power to him since everyone gets help someway.) Funny thing: he told me that a lot of Chinese guys would hang out at the student center for Chinese people and wait for a call to pick up new Chinese girls coming to America for the first time. The guys, having already been in America for a year or so, would then befriend the Chinese girls and they would become their girlfriends so they had someone to feel safe with, LOL!

[@mtlblues4710]

It's funny that they keep insisting on the parents greed for status-but ignore the more important reason for excellence.Which is ''wanting the best possible life for their kids."

Honestly, being part of the group described in this video myself, coming to the UK at the age of 14 is probably the best experience in my life. I went to A-level in South Wales, where I had a great time putting a band together with some of my mates, learned the importance of individuality and creativity, as well as studied very hard to get into one of the world's top universities.

I come from experience here (i go to a private school in china) and these kids are unbelievable. They are basically divided in study fucking hard to get into a good university or just party all day cause my daddy gets me whatever I want. My parents send me to private schools by dumping their wallets and it's really hard to fit in with these kids. Once I went shopping with a few of my friends and oh my god. They were literally like: Give me everything "except" for this this and that.

***** technically only 5% of there population is in poverty if going by international standards of 1.25usd per day and they do not have billions of people in poverty, how could anyone take anything you say seriously when you don't even know basic math, when you say billions, it implies that there is at least over 2 billion people and at least 2 billion of that is in poverty But since china currently has 1.35 billion people, and 1/4 of them are middle class. Its not billions.

[@flipballaz93]

My mom made me do all this shit you name it all, piano lessons, art school, private school, aspire to attend Cambridge university, basketball, speaking English all the time and it did not make me happy. Western culture is very incompatible with Asian culture , sending these kids to boarding school I guarantee you they will not fit in and will be bullied 24/7 and stick together with Chinese friends. Western education especially american education is severely behind Asian counties in PISA tests and do poorly at math and science something that is high priority in Asian education. My English high school was quite possibly the worst education I've ever had, students don't obey and respect their teachers, math is so easy , in 4th year high-school we were still learning division lol. English lessons are horrible, they don't teach you spelling and grammar, the teacher just reads you a book or make you watch a movie. Science is just playtime. My classmates were 99% white and I assumed they were well behaved, how wrong I was. At least twice a month we get a visit from the local police station. And oh did I mention English weather is absolutely appalling especially Cambridge university you would think a university as prestigious as this would have modern heating and infrastructure oh boy how wrong I was again. Dont get me started with London, quite possibly the most over-rated global city in the world. Expensive, terrible food, abysmal transport system and the most god-awful people you will ever meet in your life. Children should not be paraded as social status toys and their happiness must be top priority not education and material wealth.

[@justkissanamakeup]

sounds like the british state school system :( i always hailed public schools as the pinnacle of excellence

[@dalcanta]

So true

[@ziomel105]

Idrankyourcoffeewhileyouwerereadingmyusername Yeah I agree, maybe I'm not Asian, but I moved from Europe to Japan and yeah it is just to big change culture wise for this children. And I had some friends who attended to American high schools and they said same things, I think the Japanese eduaction system is much better than even european one, well maybe its just me...

[@kevincaotong]

Idrankyourcoffeewhileyouwerereadingmyusername Definitely true. I'm Asian, and my parents are just like yours, they make me learn many things, including piano, basketball, martial arts, Chinese, English, and I had art classes. They also never let me have any electronics, like phones or computers (But they would let me use their electronic devices if I needed it for educational purposes). They forced me to go to a charter school where everything was supposed to me more complicated, even though it wasn't. Math is extremely easy, what I'm learning in 7th grade right now is basically a review of everything that I've learned in 4th grade math. It's so boring in class that I ended up using khan academy to help me learn something. Also, every other class is very easy as well. In science, we're reviewing everything we've learned before, but just a little more in depth. In English, we literally just read books and write a paragraph or two about the book. In history, we're actually learning a lot, and using up a lot of time. Also, in Technology class, its just free time building things, playing games on the computers, 3D modeling, and a little bit of coding. Technology class is still really easy for me, because I've already learned everything in my free time at home. I think it would definitely be better to go to school in China, than to go to school in the Americas. I feel that the main problem of this downgrade in education is the development of technology and games. Many Americans (And of course, Asian Americans, African Americans, etc...) tend to spend more time on these games than they do in education. Not only do they spend a lot of time in gaming, they also disrespect others and teachers by being racist, thinking that they're very cool and people would like them. This is causing the human generations to become worse and worse.

[@giverdeadlyvirus]

Rainbow Barf I used to think the same way you do, but trust me, while middle school is a joke, American high school can become pretty competitive. Taking 10+ AP's, participating in a varsity sport, advance orchestra, prepping for 2200+ SAT scores & 3 subject SATs with at least 760+, 2nd level ACS&AMC 12, volunteering (300 hrs+), clubs (need exec position), science fair competitions (Intel ISEF), all the while maintaining a 4.0 GPA can be pretty overwhelming. I did all of that in high school and got into a top 20 university, but looking back I hated that portion of my life. I think I averaged 4 hours of sleep everyday during my junior year of high school. Enjoy what you have now and make the most out of it.

+Jk Prat Um no, most good Chinese colleges are a lot harder to get into(sometimes more expensive) and you only get one chance to get into it. Whereas in overseas, even good colleges are way easier to get into plus they offer more subjects than the ones in China. Also Chinese colleges have a lot of propaganda in them so some rich parents would rather let their children go into a school overseas.

[@universe4526]

Chinese Should look up the term "nouveau rich"…old money acts different, still send their children to the best schools but they don't act like they've never seen money. Obama administration devised a way to fix the issues higher ed institutions were facing as a result of the financial crisis by increasing student visas so that the newly relocated wealth in asia could send their kids paying 3 times the regular US citizen tuition. This formula compensated for low income americans who could not afford to pay for college .So for every three US citizens that couldn't enroll one chinese student was accepted. Otherwise higher ed institutions would've failed just like the banks.

[@universe4526]

It gets just as ridiculous everywhere in the world. I met many chinese university students and a few laoshi's when I went to school in Miami, many of whom where attending UM, which is considered an Ivy league school, but it was in Oregon where I really saw the bigger displays of wealth such as driving exotic cars to school, mind you the town I was in was a few square miles.

[@tungt88]

Thanks to events in 1949, China's "aristocracy" practically became non-existent; hence so-called "acceptable and controlled ways" to flaunt one's wealth went right out the window along with that aristocracy. China is experiencing what Russia went through during the "oligarch era" of the 1990s - early 2000s, or what the United States went through during the "Gilded Age" of the late 1800s. So one can't automatically expect "nouveau riche" Chinese to immediately ape "old money" as an example, especially in this age where the "Western World" Kardashians (and others of their ilk) are hardly providing examples of humility and dignity (and are excitedly splashed all over the various gossipy rags).

And here is me hoping that with a pass I will be accepted into oxford hahaha

[@Matt333ETH]

I went to University of South Florida, where we had a huge group of international students. Many of the Chinese kids I knew had clothes worth more than my tuition 😂

[@jessrachel3152]

Stevenson School has a field for horseback riding? I want to sign up for that next fall!

[@soultrader9207]

You gotta look in a museum to find traditional Chinese culture now.

[@callumip]

"Golf is from America" She has a lot to learn.

[@mathlover101hotmail]

Some of my fellow graduate students are 18 year old chinese students.

[@onestepza]

Jane Ho is everywhere.

[@tombellinger8506]

It can't just be me that thinks they're overpushing their children.

[@mizuenishimura1869]

A lot of people in China are still living in poverty. I wonder how their parents can get money to send their kids to such expensive boarding schools.

[@tiborsvitek155]

They send their kids here and they flaunt their money. For example, there are several Chinese exchange students at my school, one which has a Lamborghini Gallardo, Mclaren 650S, and a brand new Range Rover for the winter. Thats almost a million dollars in cars. He wears clothing worth thousands too. are they really here to learn? or are they here to show their wealth?

[@nguyentran378]

whats your schools name

[@tiborsvitek155]

why? it doesnt matter what the school is, University of Toronto, California, Miami, they all have kids like that there?

[@chernille4916]

First of all, you see one or two people and say all of them go there ready with Lamborghinis? And maybe they do that cause otherwise you people wouldnt accept some 'nerdy Asian guy'

[@lucasdeabrielle7375]

There are alot of those kinds of kids in my school. I really hated them specially when they're belittling someone whose innocent.

[@Abel_Y]

50 years old lol lol lol.... and by the way, golf was invented in Scotland which is currently a part of the UK

[@bakeryssoul]

she doesn't even need subtitles wth lol

[@stevencounts2570]

I see plenty of these kids at my school. We are seeing the effects of the global market play out in the housing and education submarkets here in the US, especially in highly desirable areas like LA.

[@WoWplayer527]

there are so many rich chinese kids at my university in new york. they all drive bmw's and mercedes, and they wear outfits that cost $5k+ on a daily basis.

[@beckylikesushi]

The funny thing is the trend is already shifting off America to other countries like Canada or other European countries. Being in America wasnt as cool as it was ten years ago. Chinese people are becoming disillusioned about America and going abroad in general. The old mentality was to emigrate permanently because out of china was better. Nowadays the "respectable" thought is to go outside the country, learn and see things, and bring it back to the country. In a lot of places now, saying you studied abroad in canada/eu can garner more respect than saying you studied in america.

[@arturo0727]

I got accepted to princeton for my undergrad and my gf to Columbia for her graduate. We both went too normals high schools. 😂🤣 I guess we got lucky.

[@sakksarkissian9693]

Did I hear right when Daisy Leo said that shes 50 years old or what ? very confused lol 2:09

[@jonhvideo870]

Yes she said 50years

[@sxu9322]

True... how I am are the reflection of my parents. How my body is .. everything is the reflection of who they are . And I'm not even rich or born in China . It is just the mentality. Parents will trade their souls with the devil to see their kids succeed.

[@garyhahaha5380]

GQ did that chinese girl dirty at the end

[@booneguy]

What a time to be alive for youngsters!

[@sukmidik1051]

So their just “investments”

[@Chenna_Tuu40]

"My mother wants me to learn how Americans surrounds their business, TAKE it and come BACK to China and use it in her business or my own" so who's taking your jobs and education again?!?

[@naweedsediq1299]

imagine China becoming another Japan but ten times richer and more advanced.....China will rule the world if that happens

[@Sinvm5fz]

0:14 and i-oop 😂

[@FlaneganB]

This was like 15 years ago in Malaysia and Singapore.

[@Luna-ry8lv]

Why doesn't China develop their own good universities? Lol. This is so materialistic and success-driven, thank god for the holistic admissions process which these machines will fail.

[@bruhbruh6231]

as an asian and an immigrant i can approve this
