Hello i just wanted to know why is it in Chinatown every time like if i go to a Chinese store the waiter will speak aggressive with me like in the video 14:55. I hope i don't offend anyone just wanted to know why

[@DZ-bz1ww]

@@noelakn That lady was kinda aggressive even for Chinese patrons. Then again, with Chinese customers they don't need to do so much explaining because they kinda know what is inside different dim sum. I think the underlying problem is that most of these mom n pop restaurants are understaffed coupled with their poor English, makes them more frustrated than they should be. AND, it's NYC where everyone is grumpy all the time. LOL.

[@noelakn]

@@DZ-bz1ww I think as waitress and server they should be more welcoming to customer. In NYC most of shop weren't aggressive as Chinese shop(i hope that doesn't sound racist) based through my experience. Ofc we should always look at the bad side. Not all Chinese food are aggressive and non-hospitable. Ik that nyc peeps are grumpy and aren't friendly. But i think as restaurant employees they should serve us with kindess.

[@ArchesBro]

Even more, CCP members arent the CCP. My ex gf was a party member and associate professor at Tsinghua, she was very ignorant about how China was viewed and what laws were being passed by the government. The control of information is just so intense, the fear of saying the wrong opinion or the split between the factions. Try to look at everyone as an individual and make sure they have the most information to make their own choices/opinions

[@Horseloverfat2374]

Being American of Chinese descent and having documented Chicago's Chinatown, seeing their resilience is astounding and makes me proud to share a culture with. A hundred or so years ago they were forced out of downtown Chicago, due to crime and high rent, and started their own community a mile south on the south side. It's the only Chinatown that's growing, due to strong leadership and community. Without those key things, they would have never have thrived. Someone has got to look out for the older generations. It's a shame they're living in fear all over the country. They're the most vulnerable to people who can't keep a grip, and that's why they're constantly targeted. People want to direct their own suffering onto those who are like them on the bottom of the social ladder but still have it in them to keep their wits together. It's such a shame. Thank you for your honest assessment, wisdom, and for showing the state of NYC Chinatown to such a wide audience. Hopefully, people will shake off their misconceptions, visit, and help stand up against people trying to harm the community.

Peter's level of Journalism is down to earth, authentic and engaging. Very human. There's no sense of agenda except the desire to be educated, to quench curiosity and to inform the audience. These types of videos are incredibly valuable. They don't contain all the fancy editing and fluff that more established media outlets and other content on KZbin may have. I appreciate how each video just dives right into the heart of the exploration. There is no mumble jumble, no fancy intro and outro, no scripts and the questions are very sincere and thoughtful. Good work on your independent work and eliciting the thoughts and feelings of people who live in various communities. Also, it's super that you're from SF; that is super awesome.

Keep voting democrats and that’s what happens unfortunately

@@guccimoochi1184 However the Republicans have also become a party of fools too. Both work for the corporations that want to be gods. Two sides of the same coin. Only hope for this nation is less big government more local. Now this government wants charge of our lives from birth on up. We will be data they order around. Local governments addressing local issues with local people will be our only hope. The governments powers need to be checked, how do you do that when it is now estimated that 45% of Americans work for the Big out of control government???

Thank you for your video. It brings hope even with some of the darker realities it showed. I’m now a subscriber thank you!

Flushing is more China than the Chinatown actually.

[@glenpierre1133]

Exactly

[@neoda91]

crazy to think about , but sure you could "say" that but its not the city its more rural china

[@URestURust]

What restaurant would u recommend un flushing??

They mostly cater towards different parts of China but my wife (who is from mainland China) prefer Flushing 10X to the Manhattan Chinatown. More like a small city center in China and not a city but it's pretty busy. I prefer Flushing as well. Much better and when a lot of well known chain restaurants from China want to open in NYC, a lot of the time they choose Flushing and not Manhattan. Increasingly in Brooklyn's too.

Thank you Peter. Your videos are always awesome.

[@abo58]

You deff have to go to flushing peter the largest chinatown in the US!! And theres a koreantown next door as well so a mixed of Chinese and koreans deff gotta take a trip there 👍👍

[@taiweannoona1204]

I agree, go to Koreatown. I want to see that too.

[@buzuxi]

Has Flushing overtaken Manhattan Chinatown as the largest?

[@lucycastro9428]

Very good points you brought up there at the beginning of the video 👍

[@loisen]

I like the way you film your videos and discuss sensitive topics. Everyone has their own opinion and we have to accept it. Nowadays people like to think that they’re in the right and that they don’t have to respect the opinions of others.

[@zhugeliang4617]

Wow your mandarin was pretty good. I enjoy your videos very much Peter. Keep it up.

This makes me so sad, I’m a country girl at heart but I loved to visit pre-pandemic NYC. I’m a lover of the theater, especially musical theater. I’ve been to China town numerous times. But now, due to the rise in crime and many of the new regulations I can no longer go. NYC relies heavily on tourism, they are already suffering due to the shutdowns but now they are discriminating towards people like me and it’s sad to see how it’s effecting the ordinary people of the city who have worked hard to make a new life for themselves. I am also an immigrant so I know that side as well. 💕 I can’t wait for the day that I can go back and enjoy the things and places I have come to love.

[@yellowoceanoriginalsongs7142]

Enjoyed watching your video thanks 😊

[@miaadAl-sm3ng]

Thanks for the video And I ask everyone who reads my comment to accept this important issue. The people are separate from the government and a government should not be representative of the people because this is an unfair view. In dictatorial and aunormal governments, the people of that country suffer the most. Love and peace from Iran.

Thank you peter for brought me travelling america with your videos, wish me luck to travel USA one day

[@spencerhon4430]

I really want you to check out the less popular cities that have been thriving during the pandemic. If you come out here to Arizona (really any city) you'll think nothing ever happened here. Can't promise it'll give you good content, haha! But I think it'll be interesting to show your audience the dichotomy between the big cities that you've shown and how the rest of the states are working out during COVID times.

As a Floridian this is good to know.

which less popular city been thriving?

[@spencerhon4430]

I already gave an example of my local area in Arizona, but in general there's more cities around the US that are seeing unparalleled economic growth during COVID.
