No country is perfect. No matter where you live, you can always find things to complain about. There are plenty of things to complain about in America, Canada, Britain, France, Germany, etc. (I'm Canadian.) If it weren't for my social ties to my home country, I'd be happy to move to China. Learning the language would be a challenge, but that would be true in any non-Anglo country. The pros far outweigh the cons.

The first time I visited China was in 2011. The sky was not blue. It was a murky grey and the ssun was a white spot through the murk. Went back in 2013 and the air quality had improved dramatically. Blue skies, stars seen at night

[@SunshineJeremy]

2011 was probably the worst time in terms of air quality. Now it is getting much much better. You are welcome to come again to check it out.

[@kenp3392]

The air in the last 5 or so years has improved a lot especially because of the growing numbers of EVs and e-scooters. Now China has over 50% of EVs making the air cleaner. Go to the big cities and you will notice an improvement.

[@YCHTT]

Because BBC or Fox News never tell you that during the industrial revolution, UK & US pollution, especially London/NY, was over 100 times worse than the pollution you witnessed in China in 2011

Hi Lizzy, totally agree with you and thanks for sharing your thoughts.

(Now we are modern globalization world and not time of human trafficking or slavery and mature to wise decision for oneself).

[@shanezheng9541]

I really really appreciate your feelings about China. Especially the last part, when you say China is what future looks like. I am a bit concerned, because it costs a lot of money to maintain infrastructures, and China is building increasingly more buildings/bridges/roads/airports everywhere. I watched some old videos displaying American life 40, 50 years ago, with all the beautiful houses, gardens, communities, colorful paintings. But the government could not afford keeping those beautiful things in good shapes in the following decades. Now the entire area turns into a jungle with collapsing buildings randomly placed around. China is looking good right now, I wish it can keep that way for as long as possible.

[@LuckyM-l2u]

As a Chinese, I want to explain that Chinese people can criticize the government. For example, if some local governments do something bad, such as corruption, dereliction of duty, abuse of power for personal gain or other things that harm your rights, you can post your criticism online, and the government will also pay attention to these online news and solve them. In China, the Internet is also a very important channel for supervising government. Even if you criticize the chairman, it doesn't matter. At most, your comments will be deleted. I can guarantee that the government will not arrest you.😂😂

[@erdongchen0823]

As long as it's true, no rumors. Creating fake news in China is punishable by a prison sentence.

Almost all traffic lights in Canada are dumb; they change according to a preset program whether there are cars or not in that direction. Moreover, Canada almost entirely consists of level crossings, leading to severe traffic congestion, especially during rush hour, as you have to watch a green light given to an empty intersection. The set program also seems very arbitrary, with some neighborhood side roads getting a green light for as long as 35 seconds. This outdated traffic light system turns a 70 km/h expressway into an average 50 km/h slow lane. What's worse, no one seems to mind the increasingly worsening traffic jams and congestion.

[@bobol326]

you can criticize the gorvernment in China, if you read Chinese you would see plenty of criticism on the gorvernment/policies in the Chinese internet every day. but you freedom of speech is limited as you are not allowed to launch personal insults against people or make up rumor, or openly stirring up a riot against the gorverning system.

Hi Lizzy, just let you know all Chinese citizens are allowed to criticize government. It's even protected by law, so long as such criticizes are genuine, constructive and fact-based. Indeed, there is an ultimatum that if any Chinese citizen making accusation of any government department and / or officials of any wrongdoing by disclosing his/her real full name and identity number through public channel including online social media, the government must take action to investigate and disclose the outcome to the public. This is some sort of unique way of transparent governance exercised here. Anyway, thanks for sharing your life in China. Enjoy your clips always. 👍

Fyi Lizzie, one can complain about the govt and submit a written complaint too via the local community leader or local municipality. In fact there are hundreds of thousands of complaints. If the complaints are valid, it is resolved without having to go to Parliament or Congress (for US) where politicians trade insults at each other or in the case of US, politicians talk about this or that nation has violated human rights, freedom or democracy or who to sanction or is national threat, and at the end of the day, nothing is resolved.

It is superficial to think that deploying surveillance cameras can prevent crime. There is an old Chinese saying that when the granaries are full, people know etiquette; when they have enough food and clothing, they know honor and disgrace. China has eliminated poverty and there are no people begging because of poverty. This is a key factor in the low crime rate.

I think the key difference is that you have FREEDOM to do anything in China as long as it isnt against the law. And those Cameras are there to survey the citizens and ensure they dont do anything wrong. TBH if you aren't doing anything shady or illegal you have nothing to worry about. Some Westerners simply use freedom as an excuse to criticize China.
