In China, most unemployed people have three options: deliver food, drive for ride-hailing services, or run a roadside stall. As China and the US decouple, more people are losing their jobs, causing roadside stalls to pop up everywhere. Previously, street vending was banned, but now, due to the tough economy, it’s allowed. Running a stall in the suburbs is usually free, tax-free, and police are ...

Just subbed I love learning about China 🇨🇳
probably the cleanest slum I've seen a video of. other than no english and massive signs everywhere it looks very similar to many dense urban areas in America
nice 😊
Great weather of easy & simple economic living is better than the desolated and bitter cold Canada!
thanks for these videos, it's rare to see high quality video from everyday china these days, any thoughts on doing videos in more rural places like villages deep in the heartland?
Thank you for your comment! I’m constantly learning how to improve my work. Currently, my plan is to focus on capturing the 4th and 5th-tier cities in China, along with the nearby counties. As for the more remote villages, I might start with places that are easier to access. I’ve heard that some of these villages have recently become popular for gathering on weekends to form markets and trade. Other villages might be harder to enter because they can be wary of strangers, worrying that someone might steal their dogs, as dog meat is still consumed in some areas here
nice 🎉
14:06 street massage? 😮
Yes,1usd for 10mintues
I think you underestimated roadside stall businesses. My wife's parents were street vendors in HongKong who sent a son and my wife (their daughter) to US universities. I think I have met probably 50 people who have or are supporting their children studying overseas.
I also know street vendors like that, but I'm not sure what level one needs to reach in Hong Kong to achieve that success. In mainland China, you need to be somewhat popular to make it work. So, it's important to stay passionate and present yourself cleanly, and to put your heart into it. Given the current poor economic situation in China, many people might just be entering this industry temporarily. I've seen more failures than successes; many give up because they find it too hard to make money. Especially during tough economic times, when the unemployed turn to this business, there's more competition, and the government becomes more eager to issue fines.
@@China_small_cities_record I moved from the US to Southeast Asia 34 years ago. Most of the vendors I mentioned are mostly here in Southeast Asia which have a lower or similar standard of living compared to China. These people can have children paying extra to study in the US, while Americans have to take-up loans to study lower domestic tuition fees. That says a lot. Sometimes white or blue collar jobs do not guarantee financial stability as compared to being entrepreneurl. Like what the Chinese here in Malaysia always say... Looking good does not mean it taste good.
You make a very good point-once people experience that kind of success, there's no turning back. But first, they have to be willing to try. That's why I have great respect for those who continuously adapt to their environment. The grilled pork skewers on the streets of Bangkok, and the suki and pork leg rice at Chiang Mai’s North Gate night market-many people miss these after leaving. China's economy is different now compared to the past; the economic structure has changed. With the economic downturn, a large number of unemployed people have flooded into the night markets. As Chinese people become poorer, high-end restaurants are closing down one after another, replaced by countless new affordable small restaurants. The demand has shifted, and people are turning to cheaper options. They also engage in fierce price competition on the internet-what used to be $1 for a bowl of rice noodles is now only $0.5. They are just trying to capture the market quickly through subsidies. So, in the past year, every day you see different small restaurants or vendors appear and then disappear. It's natural for consumers to become more demanding-if you can't win repeat customers, you'll disappear quickly.
@@China_small_cities_record Same phenomenon here too. The only difference is that it's the Chinese diaspora in all of Southeast Asia that is still thriving. I often wonder why as to that for many years.
Overseas Chinese typically originate from the Guangdong and Fujian regions of China. Many people from my hometown began migrating to Southeast Asia and the Americas as early as the 1920s. The primary reason for migration was poverty, as their hometowns were mountainous areas with little land to support them. My grandfather's younger brother was the most successful because he diversified his efforts. He first went to Mexico and then to the United States, and the love of his life was a Mexican woman. Their descendants are now middle-class in the United States. Hard work is just the basic condition for success. He often reminded us to live with dignity; no matter how tough life gets, when you step out, you should always be dressed neatly and appropriately so that others won’t look down on you. Integrity was also something they valued because living overseas wasn’t easy. The Chinese community in Guangdong had to stick together to survive. If someone cheated others, the news would quickly spread throughout the Guangdong Chinese community. Of course, I'm talking about the past, and I'm not sure about the current situation. However, these beliefs align with psychological principles: if you appear successful and are genuinely honest and trustworthy, people will believe in you, greatly increasing your chances of success. Of course, the most important thing is to share risks-wherever you are, you can’t be selfish; you must integrate into different environments. So, I believe that the reason why those Chinese people have greater resilience is that they take a long-term view. The concept of harmony between heaven and humanity is an important part of Chinese culture. However, this requires continuous and diligent personal cultivation. Success is always easy to see, while those who fail are often overlooked.
The Republic of China was pre-1950s. If the bridge is built in the 1960s, then it was build by the communists in the People's Republic of China, not the Republic of China
Amazing China ❤

LO:...! You think this is impoverished..? Clearly you've never been to NYC..
Thank you for this very informative video it was fair and extremely honest opinion. I like how you just showed your view of China without pointing out the flaws or making comparisons to western societies.
China -super clean and neat.
your thumbnail may provoke people 😂
Thank you for your feedback. I'm currently struggling with finding the right balance for my thumbnail choices.😂
It's a wonderful city
impoverish you said.. it looks very cosy to me.. plenty of food.. the sort of place to go to.. to get away from the bright light.. that would be quite normal sort of town in the Philippines or Thailand..
The organizational structure of communist countries is somewhat different; they spend money on public spaces. Most people bear the burden of huge mortgages for this, leaving them with very little money to spend on themselves each month.
like a ghost town.
This is so surreal! I love it!
Yizhou is safer than London😂😂😂😂. Cleaner too....
love love love❤❤❤
This small city is much more better and alive than NY ghetto, or Paris Slam.
As you go down the tier city system, city starts to look more like South East Asian cities .
Which is your native city or region ? Is that your accent? Or automated voice ?
Wow...even their low quality streets are cleaner tha NY's streets. 😂
You haven’t explored enough then because it’s only dirty in midtown Manhattan which is one of the busiest places in the world
u tend to go to places where normal tourists dont go. U r amazing!

He didn't even say anything political in the video, in fact most of the statements he made were negative
so what is the main industry there? agriculture?
Yes, the main industry here is sericulture, which is common in mountainous regions. Additionally, China has a fiscal transfer payment system, where wealthier regions regularly send substantial funds to poorer areas while keeping energy prices controlled. This funding is the primary source of income for the local government, enabling them to build impressive infrastructure and roads, creating an economy largely driven by public sector spending. The rest of the population typically seeks work elsewhere. So, you might notice in the video that although there are high-rise buildings, the streets aren’t very crowded, and there isn't much commercial activity because many young people have left to work in other cities. They often send their earnings back to buy apartments here. However, due to the Chinese government's policy constraints and the discovery that a significant portion of these funds has been lost to corruption and waste, the amount of transfer payments this area will receive in the future is likely to decrease, leading to a worsening situation over time.
Zhengzhou, a very beautiful city.
A run-down district and low-income area with old and some shabby buildings, and a fews modern onee. But not a single bit of trash lying around. No noisy people to be seen. Some nice cars. They got gas, water, and electricity. Didn't see any sign of a slum.
15:13 whats that sound 😏
China looks so dirty and broken, a third world country
That was built in 1951.
It's not a "slum", it's just old - and safer than any American city.
It was built in 1951. That's not old.
That's a slum.
@@marcbayarea1980 Your logic is totaly wrong. Have you found any children here? Think about it with your wisdom.
cmiiw another channel with similar content explain there is no direct translation for this kind of residences in english, so they use slum from dictionary.
@@nogosari3596 I understand why those places exist and their function in the city and in society as a whole. It’s always great to have a roof over your head, but those residential areas are dilapidated and moldy. On top of that, those buildings are only 80 years old. There is a high probability that most current residential buildings in China will look like that in the near future due to poor construction.
thanks to this video. which makes those who go to China experience huge culture shock.

Looks like a giant re-purposed 18th century prison
looks like L.A.
a bit safer L.A. then
No security cameras?
Besides the chinese people, this could pass as Detroit
Or L.A.
@@SneedforSpeed This is worse. Even Detroit isn't that nasty.
@@marcbayarea1980 Totally distinct. Here in China is lagging behind but very safe, while Detroit is famous for its violent, killing with guns.
97% of Chinese live in places like this or worse. This is the REAL Face of the Chinese "economic miracle". 1 billion chinese survive on 1 little bowl of rice per day, and some undrinkable water.
Wow crazy! My wife's family comes from a small rural village in hunan and it looks very similar!
The distance from here to the Hunan border is 470 km, and the climate is quite similar. Perhaps because of this, the architectural styles have many similarities.
@@China_small_cities_record Ah thanks for the info!
Are you local to the area ?
No, I'm just here on a business trip and exploring the area while I'm at it. Next, I'll explore the nearby cities and gradually move north.
