My dad was born in China.
There was a very severe famine in the early 1900''s and his parents died in that famine.
His surviving relatives brought him to Malaysia together with his sister.
I remember he used to send money back to his relatives. They were so poor back then.

I was very fortunate to secure a very good job that allowed me to see the world.
My first visit to China was to Beijing in 1985 and I had tears in my eyes when I saw how poor the Chinese people were back then. China's economy was still not developed back then.
I saw bicycles everywhere on the streets. No one owned a car.
There were some Volkswagen Santana taxis which the locals couldn't afford.
I could go on a day tour of Beijing and had 2 meals for less than US $15 a day.

Today, China is so highly developed and so beautiful.
The living standards of the Chinese people had improved by leaps and bounds.
I really wish that my dad had lived a long life so that I could bring him back to see the impoverished China that he left behind in his childhood, had become such a highly developed and prosperous nation.
Unfortunately, he died in a car accident when I was very young.

In contrast. I saw how developed and rich the US was when I first flew to Hawaii and California in 1977.
Americans were living a very good life and there were very few poor people.
Today, there are so many poor people in the US living on the streets.
Meanwhile, China had lifted up more than 700 million out of extreme poverty.
We must give credit where credit is due.

Deng Xiao Ping was a man of great vision and foresight.
The other great Chinese leader was Lee Kuan Yew who brought Singapore out of poverty to a modern metropolis.
It was in 1978 that Deng Xiao Ping came to visit Singapore when it was already on the ascendency.
Lee Kuan Yew told Deng Xiao Ping that if we in Singapore who are descents of peasants from China can progress, you and your people can do much better than us.
Those words must have struck him so hard that the moment he went back to China, he set up the Special Economic Zones.
That visit to Singapore changed him and China.
He later said "It doesn't matter whether the cat is black or white as long as it catches mice."
He was referring to the style of government, regardless democratic or communist, it must improve the lives of its people.

I am so happy to see a prosperous and vibrant China, the land of my forefathers.

I lived in the U.S., graduated, and worked there for five years before choosing to move back to Vietnam. Everyone asks me "Why not stay? Why reject the American dream?" Man they haven't lived there and witnessed the daily jokes about my race, the declining infrastructure, and the gun alerts in my neighborhood. I am a language teacher now and life is vibrant, safe, and I am not treated like a third class citizen. China is a wonderful country and a safer place unlike what is portrayed on mainstream media.

I’m 3rd generation Singapore born Chinese.Our son has since moved back to our ancestral homeland in China to live and study.16 this year, incredible achievement in his studies. I will be retiring in 3 years time to live there.The future world is already here in China, you got to be there to experience it.

[Vickssszhhh]

I lived in Shanghai for almost 8 years, as a women I felt so safe living in China! I miss it so much! The modern cities, the different types of cuisines and landscapes, clean and friendly people ❤💛

[guangjoe]

Wholeheartedly agree. British guy here, 15 years in China, now raising my three little ones here. Safe, clean, and affordable environment here in Foshan. Nice to see a channel like mine sharing positive vibes about China! Most dangerous thing for me - too many goodies to eat!

[Phidiasan]

American born-Chinese here, left after graduating uni, best decision of my

[mypignest]

Having lived in many countries around the world, the difference between the US and China is that, there's too much politicking in the US and not much work being done to improve the lives of the people. In China, there's no politicking and it's all work to improve the quality of life for its people.

As a Croatian I was in the East and West of the USA - and this country will never see me again. Too scary.

[mikebo]

I am raising my kids in Shenzhen. We are Chinese. I travelled to almost all western countries and have done business with more than 50 countries' customers, I can say China is best place to raise the kids. And not only kids raising, in this more and more dangerous world, China is the last safe place to live.

I live in the UK and I have a few Chinese friends share their culture ..people of China are such amazing and wonderful people they will always have my love and respect and if I had the opportunity to move to China I would not want to come back it would be my sacred dream god bless you China I love you🌹🙏🇨🇳

I’m Chinese, but lived in the states for 12 years now. After my visit back to China last month, I decided to retire in China after my kid goes to college.

[MyMetallicMan]

Me too! Chinese kindergarten is awesome! We have our little girl enrolled in Break dancing, Boxing, Eloquence (which is Chinese speech presentation of poetry), Go (the board game), and skating. If you need some help in getting your kids signed up for anything, just give me a buzz. I can point you in the right directions.

From my experiences, China is now a consumer paradise. Living in America, the middle class lifestyle is dying a slow death, especially with rising cost of living, rent increases, buying a house feels like extortion. Also: traveling, you can't go anywhere without a car, and you need car insurance if you want a car. Problems with your car? use your last paycheck to fix it. America stopped investing in the middle class a long time ago, the rich communities are closing itself off, leaving everyone else to fend for themselves.

Agree with you. I’m Thai who went to study in Oklahoma in the ‘90s. I can say that racism in the ‘90s was much less than present. And yes I had experience racism on the daily basis then but I was never attacked. You can imagine being Asian in the rednecked country, but I was only verbally abused. I’m now back in Thailand. When looking at the U.S., I feel blessed that I am back home now. And only when you’re outside, you can see how the western media has spread all the lies about China. Oh! one more thing that deters me to visit the U.S. again is their tipping culture. 😅😅

[myfoodishere]

same. i left new york city in 2011, tried san diego for a bit, then moved to china in 2012. i tried brisbane australia for a bit and ended up here in rizhao ever since. i have married a chinese local, we have 2 kids, and i think life is just better here. life back home is really messed up. public safety, public education, the culture, shootings, lootings, drugs, gangs, gang culture, failing infrastructure, the cost of renting a home or buying one, the cost of food, half the country hates each other, conspiracy minded and religious nutters, armed police, homeless everywhere, and the mentally ill, school shootings. there are just so many things i do not have to worry about here. they can grow up having a normal childhood here.

[grandwonder]

Thanks for bringing up a topic that not too many vloggers that live in China talk about - racism. The US is an incredibly racist society and it’s not just white people that are racist, but black people as well! Being an Asian I experienced racism from both white and black people. I don’t want to get into too much details, but I have experienced racial slurs and threats coming from both white and black people here in the US.

[sweetburger]

I've lived in the US for 20 years, and I plan to move to China after I retire. The public safety in the U.S. is too poor, you can get robbed at any time, and it could cost you your life. And, there are too many homeless people in the city, streets are dirty, and nobody manages the situation. The US has become an unsuitable place to live.

As an American, I believe that one of the biggest issues facing our country is a lack of appreciation for other cultures and countries. Many Americans are often closed-minded and fail to see the diversity and beauty that exists beyond our borders. While I know not all Americans share this mindset, it is a prevalent attitude that needs to be addressed. As I look towards becoming a future parent, I want to ensure that my children are raised with an open-minded and global perspective. Although financial constraints may limit our ability to travel and experience other countries, I am committed to exposing my future children to different cultures and fostering an appreciation for diversity. Despite any challenges that may come with raising children in the US, I am determined to do my best in providing them with a well-rounded and culturally aware upbringing.

I Am So Happy that You were able to ESCAPE from ALL of this!!
