@@luezio8914 China's attitude towards foreigners has drastically changed recently and state condoned attacks, doxxing and harassment have led to Chinese 50 cent nationalists attacking my wife and trying to get her fired and arrested (just because she's my wife) attacks against my parents and even random cousins, doxxing my parents, swatting attempts, all sorts of nonsense simply because I have an opinion that doesn't gel with their force fed one. I realized just how sick certain parts of Chinese society are as a result of these relentless attacks and so will now discuss and explain why these happen. I hope to enlighten people through my experiences and help them understand why it is that Modern China is closing up and behaving the way it is.

My Taiwan story (my mother is from Taiwan, so I do speak the language). A few years back, I traveled to Taiwan on my own. I was on my way somewhere and had gotten on the wrong bus. I told the bus driver about it and asked him what alternate route I should take to get to my destination. He told me to sit back and wait a second. While I waited, the driver spoke to another bus driver via his radio intercom thingy, then announced over the loudspeaker "young lad, I'm going to pull over at the next stop. I told the other bus driver (the one driving the bus to your destination) to wait at the next stop for me to catch up to let you transfer to his bus". I was in awe over his actions, and still grateful to this day. He actively went out of his way to ensure I got to where I was heading, and props to the other bus driver for cooperating as well.

I helped a Taiwanese family find there way to the train station here in Tokyo a few years back. The father approached me on the street and asked if I could tell them where the station was, I was headed there anyways and told them I would walk them there. We had a nice chat in English as we walked, as we parted I asked where they were from. He smiled and said “from Taiwan, we are not Chinese” I laughed and said I figured as much because of how polite he was.

If who you met are student-age Taiwanese, chances are they don’t have enough time to master two foreign languages, so they have to interact with you in Japanese not in English. Taiwanese who study in Japan may not willing to be viewed as Chinese mainlanders, because some Japanese locals say to them “you are just like Chinese” to express their anger when they feel offended by Taiwanese. This makes“you have anything in common with Chinese” sounds like a F-word to Taiwanese, so they denied imminently if you said so.

Bagledog5000 As a Taiwanese, I would say 1. The mandatory English education in Taiwan is petty sucks (when I was a kid), so people who are able to communicate in English largely attribute to our foreign cram schools teachers. Those not fluent in English are just normal, except in Taipei people really need to learn English because of peer pressure. 2. Japan, Korea and Taiwan were historically once a single country ruled by Japanese, and still have close tie to each other nowadays. Sometimes we don’t treat each other as polite as we treat other people, pretty similar to the concept that we are not always well-mannered to our (previous) family members. Conflicts and disagreements are sometimes happened, just like any other places in the world.

People getting in front of me, cutting in front of me to get onto the train or elevator, being completely ignored when I try to get someone's attention, being interrupted whenever I speak by the majority of people, particularly older people who believe they are gods over you because they take the "respect your elders" thing to a whole new level and they think they can just do whatever they want... Go buy something. The dickhead behind you will physically press up against you half the time and will push you out of the way the MOMENT he or she thinks you're done (when you're still being handed your change and haven't put anything away yet). Go ask for help. Majority of people pretend they can't understand my Chinese. People closer to me insist that my pronunciation is really clear and accurate... I have no idea if this is true though, because I think due to my face, people just don't bother listening to me. The rest of them just act like I don't exist at all. People tell me I look like a ghost all the time. Good job, you racist fucks. People park their scooters in the center of the sidewalk. People check their phones in the narrowest walkways, and pretend not to notice you when you need to get by them. People DON'T SMILE. People get upset with me when I SMILE. I swear I'm in a different Taiwan than any of you are. I really hate it here. If I didn't have some things tying me here I would have been gone so long ago. Whenever I complain they say "go to China and you'll see how great we are". Oh shut up. It doesn't matter how good or bad China is, when there are problems HERE. I like a lot of the food here. That's about it. The people are uneducated and rude, and the environment sucks. Trash on the ground. Open air sewers. No trees. Crap.

I've traveled quite a bit throughout Asia and Taiwan struck me as the most hospitable and generous place I went to. Annecdotally, I was traveling with my father and brother through the remote mountains and our tire burst, then the spare tire gave out. We had no reception for a phone and were about to walk to the next town (15km away) when I a guy stopped by the road (he didn't speak any english) but made clear he was going to come back and help, he came back with a buddy with a tow truck, towed the car and put us up in his own home and sorted out the tire for us, when we offered to give him some money for the food and lodging he refused. The other thing that struck me was outside Chang Kai Shek's Mausoleam, while it was protected by armed guards at the time and you were expected to bow to his grave, outside the Mausoleam it was surrounded with statues made by artists, some unflattering others abstract but you could really see how different people interpreted his legacy and were allowed to express themsleves. Overall I couldn't recommend Taiwan enough to someone interested in experiencing chinese culture first hand, I really hope it endures and doesn't get attacked like Hong Kong.

However, reality Republic of China is not even the successor of the Han because they over threw the Han. Don't even talk about the People's Republic of China that wasn't even born yet until 1949. However, during the return of Hong Kong, the People's Republic of China ran to UK thick face claiming that they are the official China and China should be returned to them and stupid UK really did. Actually they should let the Hong Kong vote to be returned to People's Republic of China or the Republic of China or to be on their own until there is a real only China. So Hong Kong should go sue UK for a stupid mistake that they should be responsible for.

One of my friends, who is from Taiwan, stated that most of the people that moved there during and after the war were lower-to-upper middle class people and there wasn't as many of the "big names" (as he called them) that came over. So, you have a country that is formed mostly of people that were upper-middle class at best, didn't want to be a part of the country that was forming on the mainland, and often were people that didn't want to be "classical" Chinese in a lot of ways. The mentality is a LOT different.

As a kid growing up in S. Korea in the 70's, I always thought China was ROC whereas China was referred to as "Red China (中共)", a different country indeed. But as the world slowly broke away from Taiwan, ROC, Korea became one of the countries that followed the suit. My father used to travel a lot to Taiwan in the 70s and 80s, he never took home any bad memories about the people and the country. Then China opened up. He also traveled quite extensively in China and all the horror stories that he brought as a news were quite startling, sort of like the stories the serpentza talked about. I agree because of the fact that Mao destroyed the tradition of China, the goodness that the Chinese culture inherently had seemed to be preserved well in Taiwan. It is not part of China. Taiwan has its own fully functioning democratic government and military. One thing that's kind of lacking is the diplomatic recognition that it has lost over the years. Taiwan seems to me is a true China in its way it has preserved the traditional culture and education.

Most countries that switched their recognition from the ROC to the PRC still have "unoffical" diplomatic relations with Taiwan. In the US we offcially don't recognize Taiwan but there are in reality extensive contacts between the ROC and the US government.

When the UN finally decided to give the China seat to the PRC, he was given an option for Taiwan to stay in the UN under a different name. He could have chosen Taiwan but he refused. He insisted that he was the legitimate ruler of all China and would not accept a seat in the UN under any other name.

I can definitely vouch for the friendliness/politeness of Taiwanese people. I was there in April of 2019 on a two-week trip. During my travels I missed League of Legends so I went to an amazing internet cafe in Taipei (Lee Hwa Hang). In there I sat next to 2 Taiwanese males and asked them if they wanted to play LoL with me. They agreed. We went on to play 4 very enjoyable games together, and when it got late and they had to go, they agreed to pay for my tab and invited me out to dinner with them and one of them's girlfriend. I got in the car with them and we went to a local all-you-can-eat hotpot buffet restaurant. There wasn't a single foreigner in there, since you needed to read a sign in Chinese and ride an elevator to get there. They offered to pay for my part of the meal as well, but I declined since it was apparent that this was an expensive establishment. One of them spoke very good English and the other one did not. They were both soldiers. To this day I have them both as friends on Instagram. I had many experieces with the friendliness of Taiwanese folk, but this one stands out the most.

From an article that I read, Taiwan's success in containing the coronavirus is in part due to the fact that since they are excluded from the WHO, therefore they are forced to make their own decisions and preparations in case of a potential disease outbreak. They do have their own stockpiles of supplies and emergency plans in order to stop a disease such as COVID 19 and get the information public as quickly as possible. Before the WHO even declared a pandemic, Taiwan was already busy taking action, closing down schools and enforcing other public sanitation measures. While countries such as the USA, Italy, and Spain are faced with a disastrous situation, and the mainland has managed to almost nearly get the local situation under control, the people of Taiwan are already back to a semi-normal life, with local statistics showing the lowest infection and death rates from COVID 19 in east Asia, all because the government knows they're pretty much on their own in a situation like this and they have no margin for error if they want to keep their population safe.

Although Mao Zedong did have a mistake, he did not have him. And how could there be China with the second GDP now? You would not know what the KMT did to the Chinese, they would rape Chinese women and bully the Chinese, so we chose the Communist Party. If there is a mistake in English, it is that I am not good at English

@@jackofalltradesmasterofnon5681 I'm interested that why West didn't allow Taiwan to be the 2nd in world GDP and made it happen, at least Taiwan is "Democracy" and this could save a lot of time. If u cannot answer it, don't make such a stupid opinion.
Taiwan is the first and only Asian country that has legalised gay marriage. That already says a lot.

On holiday in Taiwan I left my prescription Raybans on the Taipei metro which we took for a trip to the zoo. I was so annoyed with myself, it almost ruined the day. Then much later in the day on the way back to the apartment I thought 'what the heck, might as well ask one of the metro help desks'. After a few calls the guy behind the desk said he found them(!) and drew me a map of how to get to the station that was holding them, and sure enough they were there! It was such a relief and testament to the honesty and helpfulness of the people. I will never forget it. Thank you Taiwan! (the sight seeing was great too by the way. I recommend taking a train down the east coast)

No need to take something that doesn’t belong to you, because the person who lost it must be really worried! We do not want to see that happen to anybody. So it is our obligation to return it and hopefully it can be reunited with whoever lost it. That’s the mentality here. Simple and straightforward.

Because Taiwan is basically a better China. It’s more successful on almost every metric; it’s cleaner, it’s actually a free democracy, better healthcare, better standard of living, people are happier and friendlier, no censorship or banned websites, and Taiwan still values traditional Chinese culture. The only thing China beats Taiwan at is military and population. Taiwan is basically a parallel version of how China could’ve developed in the modern era, a parallel that’s better, and China doesn’t like that.

The city there in Taiwan was absolutely more organized than their counterpart in China. But I still believe things will change from the young generation in PRC since we receive more education than our parents and grandparents. There'll be one day we will surpass Taiwan in every aspect and it is just matter of time. Let's see.

The description of how helpful Taiwanese people are really speaks to me. I had a job teaching English in Taiwan for a while, and had many experiences of people going out of their way to help me, just because I looked like I needed it. My first time using the trains there, I was feeling lost and confused, but a girl walked up, spoke English, and helped get me to the right platform. Another time, my scooter broke down on the side of the road, and a man who didn't speak English stopped, checked it out, and helped me get to the next town. Not everyone is a saint, of course, but an overwhelming majority of the people I encountered were friendly and helpful. It really made me love the place.

But this podcast may be my favorite one of all. When the communists took over, they not only destroyed China's culture, but also eliminated their HEART. I think that's why people in China would just as soon step over your body than help you. Even New Yorkers have more compassion that that, as evidenced in the days following 9/11. Only today, I watched a video featuring Elon Musk. It was entititled, "My Biggest Mistake," and his answer totally surprised me. He said that he used to hire people based upon their BRAINS but not their HEARTS. He learned that between the two qualities, "the heart is the most important." Nuff said.
