      我很多年前就预言美式民主选举体制就要走向灭亡,中国快速崛起即将征服世界,中国目前的制度,说大白话,就是国家资本主义,它与前苏联唯一不同的就是改革开放实行了自由的市场经济,所以这种体制对于国家发展效率极高,而且还有很好的纠错能力,举国体制下集中力量办大事,几乎可以完成任何自己想要达到的目标,不管是发展经济发展基础建设,还是发展奥运体育还是发展高科技,我都从这种体制上看到极大的优点和高效率!按目前来看,世界的秩序发展正在一步步走向我的预言

    Except for traffic cameras at traffic lights, most other cameras are used to maintain public safety. They have two main functions: first, to warn people not to try to break the law, and second, to quickly check the surveillance and catch criminals when illegal activities occur. If there is no criminal activity, the surveillance camera will not be monitored.

    Down at rhe metro is security guard not police. Most uniforms you met on the street are security guards. It's a common mistake first tome foreigners make.
    In China the concept of police is different from the west. Most of them are unarmed and can be helpful when needed.
    You will not be monitored. Maybe people will be curious about you but police will just ignore you because foreign tourists are not likely to cause trouble.

    When you are in the central area of Futian, Shenzhen, it is difficult to find street food because the rent here is too expensive, but as long as you enter any shopping mall, you will find many restaurants inside. The restaurants are usually located on the top floor of the mall, and the prices are affordable. Many restaurants charge a tea&seat fee, usually 2 RMB (0.28 USD), which refers to the cost of using utensils and tea.

    90% of the police you see are security personnel, who are only responsible for maintaining order and providing assistance. 90% of the remaining 10% are traffic police, who are only in charge of traffic safety. In fact, you hardly see the police officers responsible for crimes.

    Shenzhen is a very young city, only 45 years old. It was just a small fishing village next to Hong Kong when it was established 45 years ago. Now, it has become one of the four first-tier cities in China. There are no "locals" in Shenzhen because it is an immigrant city, attracting people from all over the country. This is why it is more inclusive and open than other cities, drawing in many young people to live there.

    The whole camera thing is just distortion from the western media. Just imagine how much human power could possibly involve in monitoring every footage in real time. Even with AI, the amount of computing power to recognize every single ppl and track their whereabouts is unachievable currently ( aren’t the computing power and electricity the problem here in the U.S. ? ) Lots of “journalists” might just watch too much SI-FI.🤷🏻‍♂️ They use the camera the same way as in the West. I am not blaming you point that out, and I know where you are coming from. it just gets annoying seeing the “surveillance state” narrative become how westerns perceive China nowadays.

    It is a tradition to charge for guest seat labeled as "seat for tea". Basicly a symbolic fee for utensils. They also use the so called tea (hot water) to rinse they chopsticks and spoons, etc. as a tradition even though it is well cleaned. I guess historically, people rinse their utensils in this region... So, the big jar of tea may be for the rinse....

    Depends on the type of restaurants, it is standard they bring you tea for having meals even if you don't want it, it is part of the culture. They bring it to you as soon you sit down, but you can always ask for something else to drink for a fee of course.
    Tea often comes with a very small fee when they bring you a jug like that and often can be refill.
    Is interesting to see this because it comes natural to the Chinese we never thought about it. Also know that China has no tipping culture, you pay for what you ordered, no need for tips.

I don’t think people will stare at you because you have tattoos. Maybe it‘s only because you are a foreigner. Those stare are not unfriendly but pure curiosity.

      True!! But also cuz they haven’t seen many foreign visitors. The Visa regulations have changed and it’s easier (and MUCH CHEAPER) for foreign people to visit. Before, I had to pay 130USD for a simple Chinese visa to enter the country. This is very expensive, looking at other Asian countries that do not charge anything for a visa. So many tourists only went to the major tourist places. Now that the visa price has been lifted, tourists (like myself) are able to visit the smaller and less-known cities and explore the REAL China 🇨🇳🙏🏼🤩🤍

    Shenzhen has a population of 18 million and an area of ​​2000 square kilometers. This is a very big city. All major cities in China occupy a large area. Regarding cameras, cameras are used in China to prevent crime and collect evidence of crimes. As long as there is no criminal intent, there is no need to worry too much. As for the police, in fact 80% are not police officers, but more security guards. They may be employed by companies or governments. In some places with a large amount of people or traffic, such as some scenic spots or road intersections, it is easier to see security guards. The uniforms and equipment of the police will be more formal, and they will only be responsible for criminal cases. Security guards are not allowed to carry firearms, and police officers are generally not allowed to carry firearms, except for a very small number of police officers responsible for dangerous tasks (such as anti-narcotics police).
