Background music, annoying, unnecessary

[ItalyStyler]

This video seems like an advertising with that music in the background. Just saying.

[angus]

Next time get better background music.

[lauz]

Why does this sound like a Chinese state-funded advert on BBC

[colinyuan]

no worry, the world will still accept China, even German killed 6millon Jews, the rest of us still accept German as human beings, same logic

[ERMARTIN]

It just mean other countries can get their economies back on track by manufacturing in their own counties

[arunkumar]

Whole world is paying the price for their worst food habit

I am Chinese, I am proud of my country, although the beginning of 2020 is not very friendly to China, but we try to overcome the difficulties, we did not give up! The biggest characteristic of Chinese people is passion, never give up! No one can change us!

[xiaoqingzhang]

I’m Chinese and not enjoy the way western media present my country. The image of China is a big and fast developed factory the background music is weird and lack of emotion. It perfectly makes people keep distance to real China.

[DIZZIE]

Cool, informative. Now grow some balls and call them out for their human rights violations instead of worrying about where your next luxury purse is going to come from.

[paulandphoebeHK]

Praising the Communist party? Wheres your dignity BBC.

[TRADE-TALK-LIVE-NIFTY]

THAT'S SHOW CLEAR PICTURE THAT BBC AND CHINA HAS SO CLOSE RELATIONSHIPS

[aliali]

Thanks for Covid 19. Our sky is becoming fresh.

[kamillatocha]

[jbroad]

iPhones are awefull, China can have all of them.

[ittec]

Now no cargo is coming out all the products

[gethcreator]

It isn't important at all.
What is important to know is as long as we trade with China we are funding our own demise

[jonjosenna]

China has always been innovative, back in the day. Things are going back to normal, with a little blip of ‘the West’ leading for a few hundred years. (BTW I’m Indian).

Yeah, good! Rely heavily on other countries!! So many countries are not self-sufficient enough and if any event of crisis, they too will suffer suit. We may hate North Korea but just look at them, they don't rely much on other countries. There are many thing we can learn from each other. Combine all the good values and systems around the world and create a better you!
