I don't want any spams in the comments here, this video was created to show other countries what China looks like and we thoroughly enjoyed this trip.

Let’s not talk about politics here, everyone can think as they think. I was born and raised in Hong Kong, I feel that Hong Kong is very different from mainland China. I know that Hong Kong is part of China and when I said that it was my first time in China, the comment I mean is “mainland china” as it really is a different feeling for me. The flag I put to this thumbnail is for people to understand I’m from Hong Kong and we have our own HK flag that I’m proud of, same as you that you’re proud of your own flag.

So let's be kinder, respect each other and let others enjoy the video and not write nasty things that can ruin the impression of Chinese people.

You can't say China is super safe because of the camera. London and New York also have lots of camera. How about their safety? Camera is just one of the reasons. The most important is the people.

It has to be said that Google and other well known apps are not banned from China. They have chosen not to abide by Chinese laws so opted not to operate in China.

[hharry]

Google announced that it would not comply with Chinese laws and withdraw from the Chinese market. But both Apple and Microsoft abide by Chinese laws.

[MarqAljoOfficial]

It just doesn't make sense why the west give China such a bad rep. China is amazing.😊

[willengel]

the first mistake you made was Google or Facebook wasn't banned. they chose not to abide Chinese law and they left on their own. Google setup shop in Hong Kong, China.

China has the foresight to have its own sovereign internet and they have similar big internet companies such as Google or Amazon. EU lacked that foresight.

feel like Shen Zhen is the most advanced city in the world ❤

[Alle-sos]

In China, there is no need to worry about the issue of having too many cameras at all, because the camera only works when something is posted. If there is a conflict or something like that, the camera will work, and the police can quickly restore the situation and solve the problem through video. It is completely fair and just, and the video will also be shown to the parties involved. If nothing happens normally, then the camera is just a decoration

Good god China is far ahead of the western world. where I used to live for over 12 years. I was in China in the 80s during which only bicycles were the means of travelling. I was back there several times and saw the fast progress china is making. Good video uploaded by you . Thanks

[kenric]

FYI: some of those "security cameras" are road and traffic cameras. Not just for catching bad drivers, they relay real time traffic conditions to driving map apps

[tokuo]

Based on what the western media report i thought the whole of China was flooding everywhere now ...

[KC-lszn]

The most misunderstood country in the world, thanks for sharing some insights.

[patriciajoan]

nice place....been there years back....can see lots of changes...Thanks for sharing Justin & Alina...bring back memories💌

[evelinericksson]

This is a bizarre title. Hong Kong is part of China and a Hong Kongese doesn’t know what his country is like? Very strange.

[Trump]

Living in china feel like living in future

[singyiulim]

as a fellow hong konger, I've lived in mainland the past year and Shanghai as well as Chengdu really amazes me with their development and culture

[vimel]

I’m with Alina, I’d definitely go crazy in that shop with the phone cases. The pig case was so cute! You couldn’t have me shopping in China because I’d spend every cent I have 😂❤

[MTing-vhdw]

Wow blow my mind for the drone delivery in sz. I go there from time to time, never knew has drone delivery. I shall try next time thanks for the information.

[zhuangcorp]

Alina is beautiful and looks very much like a Kazakh or central Asian. If you go to Xinjiang, they will think she is a local.
