- Some videos have been popping up in my feed about Freedom in China vs the US and I wanted to give my thoughts on it. Not all of you will like my opinion on this one, but I'm very pragmatic about most topics and don't overlook the realities just to make a video you will "like." I think my final opinion at the end of this very long walk is reasonable, but I would love to know your thoughts about Safety vs Freedom?

The police force in Australia needs better training in judging knife situations. And not go for the weapon all the time.
Or be able to use say a chair or table to block the knife or give them a baton to knock the life away.
Encourage to use de-esctulation tactics or not appear so threating on first response (as when you pull out a gun or taser you will be more likely faced with a weapon).
I am from India, I studied in Germany and worked both in US & China briefly, but honestly, as far as I have seen Chinese people both in China and abroad are kind and wonderful. Over the years I have made some good Chinese friends. When I explain this to people in US or India some educated people process it, while others don't believe it. At that point, I am like fine believe what you want to believe and live a distorted simulated world I cant help
Yes, I get that all the time. I try to say it isn't as bad as they think, but many don't want to listen to me or think I'm talking on behalf of the government....
Most of those distortions are created by Western media and politicians, brainwashing their citizens to think Western democracy is the only way to run any country in the world(yeah ok, whatever)😀
@@TripBitten Not surprise. We grow in an environment full of brainwashing, yet people don't realize.
@@TripBitten My circle of friends (from Taiwan or Hong Kong) are all very proud of what China has accomplished. But our kids think we are brain washed by the Chinese government; and they only believe what the US media says. Now, it is very difficult to talk to them on any China issues.
I used to read NY Times, WaPo, The Guardians, BBC .. etc daily, but then I gradually stop reading it since the western media has become so anti China.
murikans only believe what they want to believe - fake news from wmm
I will say the big difference between the 2 is, police in the US are out there to get you, but the Chinese police are out there to help you! Big difference
Police in the US were the "goons" of the elites. It is there to protect the elites way of life, the rule of law.
Meanwhile, in China, police were there to upheld justice, upheld law and order.
I think the biggest difference is that the police in the US are there to protect private property, not you, and the police in China are there to protect you and uphold social order, over being the goons of rich people.
A homeless person beaten to death will elicit less response than a poor sod stealing from a rich rarfucker.
This is a direct result of capitalism , as police in the states are mostly putting poor people in their place , so that rich people don't have to deal with the misery that sustains their lifestyle .
indeed.
In china, people nickname police " uncle", as someone who you can trust, like you trust a close family member.
I am japanese and i lost my cab driver coming out of the Forbidden city
I saw a policeman who was off duty and he helped me locate my cab driver
I could hardly speak mandarin yet the policeman helped me
great comment, we love to know what the protests were about the Japanese?
@@roballen3281 That's against the Japanese goverment instead of people.......
Most likely the demo is about japan sanction China semiconductor industry
@@roballen3281 Diaoyu island.
@@roballen3281 It was a protest against the nationalization of the Diaoyu Islands by the Japanese government. The protest was nationwide. The Chinese government was very nervous at that time, because people had taken to the streets to protest. There had been a lot of irrational behavior, smashing Japanese brand cars, smashing Japanese restaurants, smashing everything related to Japan. So you can see soldiers protecting Japanese shops in the picture, but they had no weapons. People are afraid to come forward because of the very serious consequences of attacking police and soldiers.
As a Chinese lived in the California, the police were not helpful at all, when I lost my car , when my car plate licensee was stolen , when my car window /mirror were stolen , the police was unbelievable cold and heartless , one of them even laughed at me. BUT when they give tickets, they don’t hesitate to make you as difficult as they can , under the hot sunny weather conditions, they won’t allow you drink water , took almost 1 hour and half for writing a ticket. In the USA , when the heavy traffic happens in the FREE way , it must be the police blocked at least two lines, and don’t care the 5 miles traffic , people are incredibly obedient！
Unfortunately that many Chinese were arrested for espionage in smuggling intel and violating the laws. Which made all the Asians become a suspect since they are not familiar with how different we are. If you are not happy in the US, you are free to choose where would you want to live which gives you an opportunity to do so.
😂😂😂
Nothing like American freedom... obedient to the core 😂
Sad.
Go back to your home country brother or in other words our ancestral land. You'll find peace there .
The biggest difference i felt living in both countries is that i never ever felt safe living in the US. Even when i get pulled up by police. In China, i never felt threatened.
in china, chinese people see policemen as one of their own, ordinary people, similar to members of CPC, and CPC members who are in g0vt, ordinary people are integrated into g0vts working to solve problems across nation.
in U$UK led west, people "think" they are part of the g0vt, due to elect!on process, but in reality the g0vt and those in power incl police are there to serve the feudal class and the c0porations NOT the people, hence you see a lot of policemen, essentially thugs wearing badges sh00ting black amarikans every few weeks.

Police state is the USA. September 4, 2015 the police trespassed my property and removed my five year old boy, and my daughter, seven years old from Old Town elementary school Maine., just because the mother found a new boyfriend, and wanted to take the kids out of state. Since then I’ve been named the defendant, I’ve been put in jail, revoked my drivers license. And they took away my Social Security.. meanwhile they separated me from my children permanently. I haven’t seen them for over eight years no phone calls, not any contact with my children. You tell me who is the police state in the world other than that sh$t hole of the USA… I wish I had never come in this s$it hole of the United States….
That sounds awful and I'm sorry that happened to you.

Great video as an Australian, having lived in China for 10 years, I have noticed that young children and women can wander around any time safely in most places in China. Community values are more effective than guns

There are 1.4 billion people in China, not everyone can be good (no country in the world is perfect), but most of the Chinese are very warm and like to help others, they respect others very much, they will always smile and talk to you, in China you don't have to worry about public security, even if you go out in the early morning, you don't have to worry about what will happen。
I've met a couple nice students from China who came to Taiwan to study Chinese literature (we have texts that can't be accessed in China as they are banned). However, a lot of the Chinese who come to Taiwan treat people so horribly. They spit all over, throw trash on the ground, push people when in line, etc. I've seen so many news reports and videos leaked on the internet from Chinese people who are trapped or treated like prisoners in their own country for petty reasons.
@@VerbWithMe realy? Very thing

The Chinese have no faith, the Chinese have no moral conscience, they put their interests first and can do anything for their interests. They will laugh at people with a moral conscience and see them as childish and like intrigue. You see the Chinese treat you differently because you are a foreigner
One night I was walking in Boston. I was lost. I saw a group of 4-5 policemen in a circle talking. I approached and wanted to ask for directions. Seeing me approaching, one of them turned and shouted, "Step back! Stay at 5 feet and wait there until I call you!". Menacing! That really felt like a police state to me.
count yourself lucky, had you been black, brown, yellow or NON white, chances are we'd be reading about your demise whilst attacking the police (coverup is daily a occurence in U$).

That is an absolute lie. U.S. police and even mere security guards have assaulted and killed citizens for just an ACCUSATION of shoplifting.
or rob a bank that's under X amount, walk away free n not get arrested, imagine what you can get away with in Canada!
You are absolutely right on point. Freedom is proportional to chaos. How much freedom you want will determine the amount of chaos out there.
In the case of the gun issue, what is the point of the right to liberty if your right to life cannot be guaranteed
@@Aapig owh.. so what do you think, US is very unsafe because of freedom? so that in order to maintain freedom, the public must be given weapons🤦.., the time it takes for a murder. between using guns and knives/baseball is very different🤔🤭
It's a different kind of Freedom. If you worry about getting shot or approach by the police while walking down the street, that's no Freedom.
If you can walk wherever you want and casually chat with the police, that's Freedom, a basic freedom of walking.
可是不好意思 我们中国既安全 又自由😊
这个世界上没有所谓的绝对的真正自由，只要有法律，都是不自由的。而现在人们所争论的哪个国家是自由的，只不过是符合了这批人想要的利益罢了，比如美国的一些人觉得持枪应该自由，那么他就是自由的，而反对持枪的那些人就是不自由的。
I think you should show them the EV adoption rate in China. I went to Beijing for a business trip from Singapore and I was amaze by the number of EV on the Chinese road. While the west have been condemning the Chinese for “not doing enough” green initiative, it really makes me feel that they should look at themself first. Singapore being such a small country are still struggling to get good adoption on EV. We are picking up but I would say only about 5% of vehicles on our roads are EV while I noticed it’s at least 30-40% of the vehicles in Beijing are mostly electric powered. Both the taxi I took to and from the airport were electric taxi 👍🏻
There was a big push for EV a few years back and many people bought them. There are still some incentives to buy EVs in China.
You obviously haven’t done any real research on how batteries are made, how easy an ev can catch fire, and how much of a scam they truly are. Pitiful little man.
I used to do green energy consulting in Singapore when I lived there. This was around 2008-2010 and the hesitancy to adopt new technologies like Solar PV and LED lights was very frustrating. It's the tall poppy syndrome I reckon. As for China's adoption of new green tech? Well, I was in Guangzhou, Shanghai, Shenzen and one or two other cities in 2008 and there were already a multitude of Electric Motorbikes around. And the Guangzhou Exhibition Centre had hybrid LED street Lamps with Solar PV and a small wind turbine to power them. Very impressive.
It's NOT true that Electric Vehicles are "zero emission" or even "environmentally friendly" - because all they do is TRANSFER THEIR EMISSIONS TO THE GENERATOR PLANT, where the electricity is often produced by burning coal, oil or natural gas.
Another less attractive facet of so called "Green" technology is that it is to a very large extent dependent on strip mining the landscape - permanently ruining it - and - as part of the process - releasing enormous amounts of toxic chemicals in local waterways -
in order to extract the metals and rare earth minerals needed - mainly for the batteries.
A large part of these metals and minerals comes from Africa - where much of it is being mined by child labour for extremely low wages - effectively a form of modern slavery. Another decidedly environmentally UNFRIENDLY side of "eco technology" - like wind generators and solar panels - is the fact that they are notoriously difficult and expencive to recycle - resulting in most of it ending up in toxic land fills.
Lastly - the most important point of all :
CO2 IS NOT "POLLUTION" - ON THE CONTRARY - IT IS THE VERY BASIS FOR LIFE
ON EARTH.
WE ARE ALL "CARBON BASED LIFE FORMS" - EVER WONDER WHY?
CARBON DIOXIDE AND OXYGEN ARE TWO SIDES OF THE SAME COIN -
BECAUSE IT IS THE OVERWHELMINGLY MOST IMPORTANT PLANT FOOD.
NO CO2 - NO PLANT LIFE - NO OXYGEN - NO LIFE.
I heard that BYD Atto3 EV's are taking Singapore and Malaysia by storm and they are selling like hot cakes. True?
During my stay there, I felt very safe and wasn't afraid of the police. They even go out of the way to find someone who speaks English if they need to talk to you. That happened to me when I tried to take a newly purchased kitchen knife into the subway. It wasn't allowed even if it was wrapped in a sealed plastic case. The nice policeman politely suggested that I take a taxi instead, which I did.

You'd probably get beat up and thrown in jail in the USA
@@jamescastle5096ignorant much?
In China, incidents of insulting or even beating police officers on the streets often occur, mostly among unreasonable women and elderly people. Police are often in a disadvantaged position because if they take violent measures, they often face public opinion pressure. Officials rely on their power to bully civilians, and police force enforcement targets women and the elderly, all of which are very eye-catching news headlines. So now, as a last resort, the police are recording the entire process of law enforcement to prove their innocence. There have also been many discussions on social media that should enhance the authority of the police. The country has also strengthened legislation to protect the safety of the police law enforcement process, and cannot abuse or beat the police at will.
Yeah that's a tough spot to be in. I know that if the cops were respectful to people and to me that I wouldn't be disrespecting them at all.
when i was in china in one of the first times and got off at a local airport, the person who was supposed to pick me up was not there, and i can't read or speak chinese.
my phone and tabled stopped working due to other networks, the only option I had was to go to the local police to ask for help. (I was brought up with Western / USA ideas about China) so I was afraid that something would happen.... but no, after some hands and feet work, the police understood that I wanted to call, the police gave his own private smartphone and so I was able to call, I was completely amazed.
There's a good chance it's not his personal phone but his work phone. In China, government personnel are required to separate work and personal cell phones. So it is his duty to use his work mobile phone to provide services (from the perspective of Chinese people)

In fact, we know that every foreign friend who compares his country with China does not intend to use China to belittle his country, but because he loves his country, he wants her to be better.
Let the people around the world to know the real China
Nonsense. You can't compare your country with a country you know nothing about.
I used to argue with the cops in China if I got stopped for any reason, and it was perfectly fine to do so because I never got in serious trouble; but I would never do that here in the US because the cops restrain you (handcuffs), no questions asked, and they'll rough you up and take you to jail for any little thing, even if it's easier to get released. This whole "police state" idea is completely backwards, imo. There's more people in US prisons even though China has 4X the population. Moreover, nobody actually cares about Social Credit in China. It's a system used for complaining against businesses, but it's become a meme in the West as if it's some kind of reddit score, when it's a different system and many people don't even know about it in China.
I see people arguing with the police all the time and nothing comes of it. Most of the time, things settle down and everyone leaves.... It is just a different way of dealing with crisis.
Thanks for explaining abt the social credit score. I think it is a good system. Justified.
@@rosalynnchow5057 I'm not sure if it's 100% accurate for everyone, of course there might be exceptions, but that's just my impression as a Chinese-American asking about it.
As a Chinese , living in China for over 40 years, I really do not know the social credit, " It's a system used for complaining against businesses" ???? no idea about what social credit it is in China. ....recently I often get text message from Alibaba or Wechat or banks that is to inform me that my credits top up and can borrow more money, some bank staff even made phone call to me and ask whether I want to borrow money...is this called social credit?
the social credit might be Taobao or wechat automatically increase my credit to borrow money, the online companies know how much i spent on shopping, the more i spent, the more money i can borrow from them. however, I seldom to borrow money from these APP, because i can choose pay 0 dollar, only when i have got the package , then I can choose to pay the shopper.
Excellent video Trip. I really appreciate your approach to trying to understand the society in China. I'm from Malaysia and while our police do walk around armed, they're also generally there to help. Just like in China, we can just walk up to an officer and ask for assistance. They're cordial and hardly ever seem aggresive. Armed crime here isn't an issue and I'd wager a big reason for that is that guns are illegal in Malaysia.
The first day I was in China, I was really lost and ended up asking for help from a police officer. I remember it clearly, I was scared to talk with a Chinese police officer (he even spoke some English), but it turned out fine and he even paid for my cab to get to my hotel. It was real strange and the first time, I realized things are very different here.
@@TripBittenI have a American friend who has the same experience : he was naturally scared of police when he walk in the street in China, but when he lost his passport and have to report the policeman and he was surprised to see the officer in China just as ordinary people who served in the society
@@TripBitten Thank you for making such excellent content and trying to foster an understanding of global society and how each society works differently. Just because societies are different, it doesn't mean it's bad. Ultimately I think your question in this video is a truly valid one, do we want so much freedom to the point that we have to start protecting ourselves individually? Isn't it a basic human right to live in a safe society? An old saying rings true, too much of a good thing is a bad thing.

I'm from the USA and moved to the UK, where I volunteered as a special constable in my local police force. I also worked as a bouncer at a nightclub near Glasgow. The average beat cop was armed only with a nightstick, handcuffs, and martial arts training. I never had to be concerned about firearms, facing the risk of being shot by anyone, or having to shoot anyone. Back in the States, I have had to participate in Active-Shooter Drills and even experienced a lockdown due to a threat of a shooter at a college. Another big difference that made life in the UK much better than in the USA was the fact that we had cameras on every corner. As a special constable, I would sit and watch everything that was going on in my community. When the police arrived to a scene, we already knew what was going on and what to expect. In the end, we were safer and experienced more real freedoms as a result. To me, firearms are no different than the slave collar from former times in that; just as the slave collar took away freedom from both the slave and the master because the master always had to worry about slave revolts, the firearm takes away freedom from every citizen because you always have to worry about your neighbour becoming an active shooter.
Back in 1980s, there were plenty of privately-owned shotguns and airguns in China. People used them to shoot birds for fun. Later the police managed to take over all of them. But I don't think US can do that.
living in fear. every free neighbor has a weapon Always imagine when the shooting will happen. because people will think he is very great if he has weapons. Very ridiculous🤦
In general, which country would you feel safer walking around, day and night? I know what my answer is.
It's a no brainer
One country, guys are so small.
Japan, even Kabukicho, Sakae and Nakasu. I heard China can be dodgy with all the pick pockets and scams, but it's still better than getting shot.
China
While China is safer, it not the safest. There are some small European countries with literally ZERO crime. You could walk outside midnight, drunk, fall asleep without worrying anything.
When I travel to the US as a Mexican tourist, I feel VERY nervous when policemen are around. In Mexico, I am not afraid of the police.
Sadly that is the case for many that travel there now.
I don’t nervous when I see police officers in China, never
And that is why the cartel rules Mexico. If Mexico had a strict police, they would not be overran by the cartel
Cuz they do treat you differently by your outfit, skin or even the car you drive tho
Lol you are NOT Mexican!!!
In the last 12 months here in Australia and some other allied countries the protest laws have been toughened. If protests block a road then you can be fined upto $20,000 and jailed upto 2 years in Australia. It's like they are expecting more protests due to declining economies in the future. So much for freedom to protest.
I didn't know about the laws changing in Australia, but that sounds bad. Things will get worse for everyone if the economies tank even more. I think that is part of the crime wave that has been happening in the US. Many people are pushed to the edge and snap.
You have freedom to protest but you're not allow to protest in public, you can do it inside your home. 😅
The advice I would give China is to NOT emulate the West on big policing and instead let citizens express their talents and contribute as best they can. Economic success and opportunity leads to a happy, prosperous nation free from covert police activities that serve their careers, not the country.
@@Anonymous------ 🤣🤣 protest to him/herself

I walked by them, paying no attention and feel nothing. Here in the states when I see them I would keep some distance to them, and started paying attention to myself and surroundings…. If I see a police I will double check myself “do I have gun in my trunk today, do I have my drivers license with me?” And then look around and ask myself is it safe here, why there is police walking hete😂😂😂

I run to work everyday in an average urban city in the Central Valley in California. About once a week I'll come across some homeless guy (usually black or Hispanic) handcuffed or even tackled to the ground by the city police. There'll be about 6 or 7 giant black SUV cop cars and 12 cops all armed to teeth standing around him. When I run by them (it's my jogging route) the cops would give me dirty looks, but usually relax when they see I don't have a camera or phone.
It isn't the Chinese are less free, they just trust their society more. We Americans on the other hand are a distrusting bunch, and we have been that way since day one. When you think about it, this country was founded on a lot of terrible things: slavery for one, but also straight up stealing the land from the native inhabitants and justifying it through genocidal actions. At every turn when the nation sought to be more progressive, we encountered it that with more violence, from the Civil War to the KKK, from racial riots and mob actions against labor movements. The January insurrection and the rise of all the crazy Sovereign Citizen groups since Obama (over 2000 I read in some FBI report a few years back) are just an extension of the same. Even within the legal framework we disrupt the very democracy we fool ourselves into believing that America is the protector of: 501c3, the Senate, Supreme Court, Federalism, gerrymandering. Is it any wonder the US is a police state?
@colonylaser4860: Police in the US originated as an all white private army charged with protecting a racial hierarchy in the land of the free. It took generations of fighting to desegregate them and more generations have been wasted trying to get them to reform themselves as they are not answerable to vast swathes of the public which they allegedly protect and serve. They have become a militarized and protected warrior caste with an unlimited budget and no accountability.
Spot on. Ive lived in the US and now in China for over 20+ years and totally agree with your views.
The police you mentioned that carry weapons most likely are the Armed Police Force, they were lead by the Ministry of Public Security before 2018, now under command by Central Military Commission, but still cannot categorize them as army, they are between National Guards and SWAT level, mostly are responsible for public security and anti-terrorism. But you can find some SWAT patrolling time to time in big cities, for if there is a sociopath or lunatic waving a knife trying to hurt innocence.
Overall, police are respected and trusted here, people often teach their kids if they go lost or have any trouble with no parents by their sides, go find uncle and auntie police for help, and people literally call police for anything nowadays, spot a snake in your house? Call pollice. Lost your goats somewhere? Call police. Single lady find a mouse in her house and get too scared? Call police.🤣🤣🤣
Americans have no idea what happened in xinjiang , yun Nan province, tian an men 金水桥 back in 2007, 2009, 2013 , the medias didn’t say it’s terrorism , they say it’s Chinese fighting for freedom, it’s ridiculous
In the US, African American parents have to teach their kids how to survive a police encounter. White parents have awkward talk with their kids about the birds and the bees. Black parents have dreaded talk with their kids to make sure they survive to adulthood and beyond.
That's America.
In the USA if you call the police because you found a snake, mouse, or been burglarized, the summoned police will shoot or attack you first.

Basically US and China has TWO differing system - In US, it's SELF before country whilst in China it's COUNTRY before self. To each his own.
Actually in the US, it is the self that is the most important. People are these individuals, islands unto themselves. In China, the selfnis still there but the community is also important. It is a balance of self with the community and that understanding that common good is also good for the individual. In America, common good and community are dirty words because it is dangerous for people to feel they belong to a large community that is not an abstract ideology like nationalism, and race lest they start organizing and get too uppity.
To each his own? No way!!

It was a 2 hour trip to the mental hospital and there, the psychologist made me take an IQ test which I cried through. It was a terrible experience.
Crazy social system
that doesn't sound real
i believe in you. a famous Indonesian celebrity told similar story with you. She visited USA for medical purpose, because our country regulation for CBD usage is complicate. While visited LA She might be has similar situation with you and was treated in hospital for a week. it was misunderstanding and the police are hard to be convinced. Thanks there is Thailand now the only neighbor who allowed CBD usage for medical purpose.
I was in NYC two weeks ago at the World Trade Center and there were military personnel fully armed patrolling the subway system.
During the pandemic lockdown, even in Oakland China town , the military fully armed the entire streets
In the US the encounter with police presents a thin line between being alive and being dead.
🤣
If I’d use the line from breaking bad. I’d say they see you either “you r in danger” or “you r the danger”.
Don’t want them take you as the latter. 😅
And we call it a free country.
Whenever i travel with my wife ; SAFETY IS my main priority. We are senior & dont walk very fast. Honestly i feel more safe when police are around . Being to many countries & i still think Asia is much more safe , cheaper & less racist compare to many so called "develop & educated" countries. End of this yr ,we will be going to Italy for a short holiday. Hope nothing unpleasant happened & even told by numerous friend be careful as too many negative incidents reported by travellers. Maybe i am wrong.

Surely being safe to live your life is freedom ! Every time I have been to China I have walked around by myself any time day or night and I am an old guy. After dark here in Australia I would not feel safe walking at night time😢
I have lived in china for the past 15 odd years, I have seen situations where police have been called in to move people out of a location, it was an informal wet market and the area was going to be developed. The people were given ample warning that this was going to happen but on the day a number of the people who were sellers in the market came in to defy the order to move. I have seen this in other countries as well where police are used to enforce an action like this. They didn't beat up anyone they just escorted them off the primases in a very definite manner.
On the flip side I have seen people who had claim to an area stand up against the police and government because that had a legitimate claim to the property and they won their case leaving the police to retreat. I have not seen any incidents where police have applied excessive force. I have seen one man shouting and swearing outside a police station, as he became more belligerent they brought in backup and contained the situation without excessive force. I live in Shenzhen and travel to Guangzhou, I have to admit it is sometimes hard to find a policeman on the street, don't get confused with the guards at the entrances of complexes they are not police they are security guards. For me I have seen nothing to indicate that China is anything but free, more free than what it seems to be in the USA with way less crime.
Yes there is less crime in China- but that’s because the government repression is harsher
@@givepeaceachance940 You need to explain this because if that is your premise for argument then there should be more people in prison and the general population should feel oppressed.
However there are less people in people than in the USA, The people trust the Chinese Government more than the US, the Happiness index is higher than the US ... safety is way better than the US, if this is what oppression looks like I take that any day over freedom and fear of being killed by some mentally disturbed person carrying a gun shooting people in the streets.
Give "peaceachance" you should come here and experience China you might not want to leave!
I love how you say, you don’t feel threatened by the police here in China. As a black woman from America, I lived there 50 years of my life, and now I lived in Shanghai for four years before moving to Changzhou where I am now. I’ve never felt more comfortable safe all around. And the police have been actually overwhelmingly nice to me. I even had one say to me “you don’t need to be nervous around me I don’t have a gun and Black Lives Matter!” I was blown away! ❤❤ I will say this, I have seen an officer, (one) here in Changzhou that had a gun again I was 😮
I'm from changzhou, 99% of 'police' with guns in Jiangsu are called 'armed police', they are actually part of the military and their main task in the city is to provide security during important events or to deal with violent incidents, it will probably be some occasional training mission when they are on the street. Hope you enjoy the quiet but lovely city.
An average American would think you are lying : what kind of police is not armed 😂
@@loooongtimeago try travel to china. those are called police public friend. you dont get that in US....
The thing is when you're being recorded in the US you feel that they will use that agaisnt you, while in China It's more of a measure for safety. Basically checking the recordings if someone reports about something going wrong.
China is about prevention, American is like we figure it out after it happens. There shouldn’t be privacy in public, what’s the difference if a police out on the street corner patrolling and a camera on every corner watching back in the station? One is lot cheaper and can be rewind.
The big difference is, surveillance is "Ok" in the US, but "not Ok" in China😅
This is the logic.... When we do it, it is fine. When they do it, "police state!"
Chris Hedges (an American activist and writer) has stated that the US is the country where citizens are under surveillance 24/7
Surveillance cameras in the London is another level , we never seen the medias from CNN and BBC report it . Any criminals who killed peoples the USA police/news always show the recorded films in the streets , if no cameras, how can they got the footage ?
because americans consider the government as "Big Brother" that is out to get them while the chinese consider their government as a stern father but is there to take care of them.
Now you know what American hypocrisy and double standards is all about. The US masked its surveillance system by calling them "safety cameras". Just like calling corruption as lobbying.

It is a flawed dichotomy that it is either freedom and safety or that there is a balance between the two. The fact of the matter is that the way westerners, especially Americans conception of freedom is flawed.
True freedom is not about doing whatever you want, owning whatever you can, and thinking that only a person is responsible only for itself, as though he is an island unto himself.
True freedom comes from building a society that prioritizes the well being of the people. Freedom comes from the freedom from the scourge of hunger, homelessness, destruction of communities, poverty, joblessness, ignorance from lack of education, lack of healthcare access and safety.
Only when you have created a society that place fighting these scourges as top priorities can people experience true freedom.
It doesn't matter if you can say whatever you want, worship however you want, own how many guns you want, if your society is built around the oppression of the few plutocrats over the rest, then all you have is tyranny of the bourgeoisie.
True. Freedom to do whatever you want is why more and more Americans suffer from depression, hopelessness, need to make up their own genders and why being overweight/obese has become a national health crisis.
Ironically, that's also why Western pundits who preach discipline, purpose, educating yourself, take your health seriously, forming a community etc. do so well in America.
yes. also being able to vote for your representatives are great, but if they're all talks, and has to worry about votes every few years, and then your lives aren't any better than yesterday, then it's pointless. and on top of that, voting someone into an office and tell the experts what to do without any knowledge, is a slap to the face to those that put in the hardworks and time
Is it really that the Chinese respect the law and shun crime because that's the way their culture works, or is it that they have built a prosperous society where people can have a good life, a viable future, and social mobility that there is simply no point in engaging in criminal activities?
Or maybe it is both. 🤔
It's both
You always doubt 😂
Both
Both
Friend, it's both.
I'm not a big fan of the Big Govt, but Arms control and Drugs Prohibition are the BEST things that ever happened in China. Without which we can never ever achieve what we have today, which is relatively peaceful country with lower violent crimes compared to others. I'm definitely proud of it as a Chinese nathional.
禁毒和禁枪是一个稳定社会必须要做的，这算不到什么最好的事情！最好的事情是中国的战略谋划和科教兴国才是最好的事情！
I think the word best describe the difference between the two is intimidation....
I live in Australia the average Australian doesn't carry guns, but every police person does.
I feel intimidated by police in Australia...
I've never felt intimidated by police in China.
I do respect them of course...

Cheers Mate
What a great video comparing the two countries. I learnt a few things today. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Truth be told, when the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, that protects the individual right to keep and bear arms, was ratified in 1791 as part of the Bill of Rights, the nation was only a federation of 14 states, with a population of only about 4 million.
At the time the Second Amendment was written, the United States had just triumphed over the British in the Revolutionary War. And the firearms those days have to be loaded one round at a time, with the average rate of fire of 3 to 4 rounds per minute. The damage that can be inflicted by these muskets and flintlock pistols were nothing compare to the semi- and fully-automatic weapons that are easily available today.
Americans were sold, and bought into the grandiose delusion the United States of America is that shining ‘City upon a Hill’ - a beacon of democracy and freedom.
But what is freedom, when as parents or the innocent children, you’re living in fear under the threat of gun violence.
In 2020 alone, firearms were the number one cause of death for children and teens ages 1-19 in the United States, taking the lives of 4,357 children and teens.
For a reasonable person, where life can be forcibly deprived, that is not freedom!
@kckoay6211: The second amendment was about the right of the overclass to arm a militia made up of its inferiors and minions to enable them to suppress slave revolts and steal Indian land. It was never about individual protection.
Supposedly in America the 2nd Amendment is to protect the citizens from government tyranny, but during COVID lockdowns all the pro-2A people thought that the government was violating their rights. Did they make use of their 2A rights to protect themselves from the government? No. So I think that that argument no longer holds for them.
But there's also an issue with American police officers having the tendency to use their guns too often instead of de-escalating, then there's stuff like Uvalde and the matter of American cops not being constitutionally obligated to protect civilians.
A few days ago the NSW (Australia) police tasered a 95 yo lady (who had a walker to help her get around). They claim "she was advancing toward them, albeit very slowly, But, she had a knife." She is fighting for her life now and the Minister for Police refuses to look at or even show the public any body cam footage! Public outrage continuing. May well be safer in China at the moment mate!
In the East, people are wise enough to judge whether an old woman on a walker is a threat.
@@miralu1279 Yes, unfortunately the dear lady never recovered and passed away. Ongoing outrage over here.
In US, police can't trust anyone with a knife or toy gun. They will shoot first for defending themselves for there are too much violent crimes in US. The look-like 90's years old may be someone just dressed up like a 90's years old. The US police will not risk their life to verify first. In US, never approach a police when you are holding something in your hands.
Omg they could have just waited her out. She'll get tired way way way before anyone else in that room. Cop wanted to end it early to get a donut. Probably.
*"It's coming right for us!"*
As an American who has spent a lot of time in China, the only area I get police state feeling is at the Customs area. the USA is a bordering on Nazi-level police state compared to China.
lol we have like crazy smugglers that's why, with his or her whole body covered by iphones or something
TBH, pre-911 era, custom area was pretty chill. I was shocked when I first came to the states (97 or 98)
as a chinese who grew up in the US (who refused to join US citizen, thus, no US passport): if the chinese customs area gives you a police state feeling, the US customs area is more like jail :)

Enjoyed this video and the VERY interesting questions it raises. Though I do not actually live in China I do know it fairly well and agree with the points made here fully.
My experience of China's police has been entirely positive. I climbed up the plinth of the Mao statue in Chengdu which was forbidden. A policeman turned up and quietly signaled me to get down. As i made my way down, he just walked away and didn't even bother to make a fuss. I could have been someone planting an explosive at the base of the statue.
You can't buy explosives in China. Sad, at the end of 2020, I was administratively detained for 7 days for buying dangerous goods online 😂

Great video and perspective. Love your work more and more.
You have brought out an interesting topic with this video: freedom vs safety. If I were living in the Stone Age, I had all the freedom. But then I only had myself, and perhaps my family on my side. Fast tracking to two or three thousand years ago, societies and civilisations were pretty mature. People all had laws and rules, which meant freedom restrictions to various extent. That was a natural progression. Even animal packs have rules and orders. Why on earth do we still have people asking for absolute freedom, while also ask for lives in a society? You can't have the cake and eat it too.
I was on holiday in the US about 8 yrs ago. Stayed in New York for 4 days. There is the constant sound of emergency sirens 24/7 Police and Fire dept.
I live in Canada for over 10 years. The first time drove across boarder, I was stopped by the Seattle police.... I follow the instruction: "Chris Rock - How not to get your ass kicked by the police!" Hands on the steering wheel and never make sudden move......
I spent my time half and half between China and the US. I have been pulled over a few times in the US by police officers for traffic violations. Each time I was so nervous seeing the officer approaching me in the rear view mirror, with his hand on his gun. And I have to make sure the officer see my hands on the steeringwheel, and make sure I follow exactly what the officer says. All the officers were polite, but none of them was smiling and I can also feel their nerverousness. On the other hand, my wife has been puller over a few times as well, and her experience was not as bad as mine, sometimes the officers had small chats with her and even let her go without giving a ticket. I can not think of any other reason than the gender difference. And I am Asian. I can not imagine the stress between the police officer and me if I were an African American. On the other hand, I have no issue approaching a police officer in China, and sometimes is my preferred go to target as mentioned in this video.
Maybe shouldn't have traffic violations then...many people been pulled over..
Be respectful and don't say or do sumthing stupid amd there womt be an issue...and why always bring in the black race card?
Not too long ago a black woman was shot by police..and people screamed racist...it wasn't until more details came out and found our she was caught shop lifting and when approached by cops..she tried to run one over.....again...dont do something stupid like endangering people and won't be a reason to be scared.
Im asian...been pulled over for driving 20 km over limit....handed over my license.. he gave a ticket.. im on my way....why would he have a reason to cuffs or shoot me?
Actually, in China most of the time the people who wear a uniform might not be police officers who can arrest somebody. Police officers with white hats are traffic police, normally they only care about things related to traffic, and police officers with black hats are the officers who mainly focus on security issues and may stop and question you. In some important areas like train stations or airports, you might also see armed police, most of the time they just stand there to safeguard people from terrorists. Then very often you see people wear black uniforms with BAOAN on their backs, that's security guards, they are not police, they are hired. And if you see people in uniform chasing a street seller, that's Chengguan(urban management officer)...
噗，看到城管绷不住了😅
I am totally agree with you about freedom, too much freedom will bring more chaos
I always teach my daughter: If you are in a group of N people, then you only get less than 1/N freedom to do what you want!!
Very good analysis. Clear explanation and sharing.
A great bit of comparitive assessment. Thank you.
Freedom or security, the answer, as usual, is somewhere in the middle. "Give me liberty or give me death!" is something a lotta 'mericans seem to believe, but I often wonder, does one really have liberty when he's dead? Or just liberated from having the choices. Anyway, I agree mostly with Miguel here. And I want to add this, just because there're cameras on every street corner, doesn't mean someone is actively monitoring you 24/7.
Like many times I said to peoples, china have 1,4 BILLIONS people, not 1,4 millions. How many officers do you things they need to actively monitoring 24/7 each and every single person. People who believe that is incredibly retarded.
I can assure you that phrase "liberty or death" is just the lip service.
Nobody is actively monitoring you. There are two types of cameras, traffic cameras which catches speeders, and security cameras which just records stuff until. something happens and the police will then use the video footage for investigations.
监控更多的是时候是有犯罪之后 能通过监控调取证据线索 再说了 监控都是在公共场所 为什么要在公共场所做所谓隐私的事情
@stonechen2480: AI will ensure that those cameras are monitored 24/7.
I live in Changchun. Having lived in Beijing, the police presence you show isn't representative of China in general. Railway Stations tend to have high security and armed guards, but generally speaking, you wouldn't know your in a 'Police State' as you call it.
I agree with all your points. It's safe here. One doesn't fear the police.
I'm British, and there's a high level of policing in even small towns, so I'd not say that China comes across as 'heavily policed' in comparison.
Good point that the police are unarmed. I'd add that there is far less drug crime in China and I hope it stays that way.
One doesn't get the impression that the police are working against the people on behalf of the state.
I'm a Christian and I don't feel repressed. Obviously they have restrictions which means that Christians should ideally practice their faith amongst friends as a community, as in biblical times, rather than copy the western, club like, meeting focused pattern.
It's a restriction which God easily gets around, but like you say, some people are so focused on 'freedom' they made themselves their own prison from which it's difficult to escape.
I think part of the reason you don't see many policemen around, is that the government prefers to spend on technologies - cameras, networking that connects all these cameras (including those privately owned in shops) to police, and AI tech that traces the criminal should a crime happens - than to staff more policemen. One can say this is wise, as techs tend to become cheaper over time, but manpower tend to be more expensive. But the police is quite understaffed indeed.
religion is America's greatest problem
Good points.

I was in NYC last year. In a short 1 hour when I was in my rented car waiting along a busy street near to NBC Rockefeller Center for my wife and daughter doing shopping, 2 fire engines went passed me, struggling through traffic jam, kept hearing sirens every now and then... It felt like in the movie...
Police in China are just so approachable and so helpful. My times living there, I only encountered police if I had problems like my bike was stolen back in 09 or if I had to register my resident form. Other than that, they are just minding their own business. While in here, Indonesia, every time I run in with police it always, always because they out to get you! Damnit, always unpleasant feeling when being stopped, they always stated some nonexistent problems and asked you if you want the ticket or their ‘help’. When I say ticket, they discourage you etc that you will pay huge fine bla bla… I know they want money all right.🤬
Always be on the lookout when you are there....
Damn that's terrible to hear 😢
Great discussion , thx
Excellent video! New favorite channel!
The police in China are super friendly and non-aggressive. In return, the police are always trusted and respected. Most people have no problem with lots of police on the street, because that only makes the street safer and more organized.
I opened another day neighborhood not far away where I live in US. And I found intresting thing, - that almost every house has a pool in the backyard. I was like "what is is going on" and why all those people cannot have shared pool. I'd rather live in a bit limited but more efficient society.
Very good vid❤. Subbed n liked. Interesting topic and beautiful weather. Beijing look very clean wow...❤❤❤
You didn't even mention how the USA has the highest prison incarceration rate in the world. USA is about 4% of the world's population and has about 25% of it's prisoners.
There are also many criminals who become Smash and Grab because the prison is full.
And the 13th Amendment allows for slavery of people that are convicted, like having them fight forest fires. And their recidivism rate is also terrible, but then again, the prison industry is invested in having 'repeat customers' instead of actually reforming people.
Don't forget in the US, there are a lot of residential door cameras that can be easily accessed by the police.
In the US, we have to install security cameras to protect ourselves. US police is useless and hopeless in helping in small crimes.
Duties always come first before freedom, if it go on by other way it will be chaos.
I asked a policeman in Las Vegas for direction, he turned around and drove away.

Ciao Miguel! I really enjoy your calm perspective. And what an important question - freedom vs safety? If I had grown up in a country that offered a socialist party, I would definitely have identified as socialist! Clearly, a little less freedom with more social safety nets is more important to me. I want to live in a country that cares for its citizens instead of treating them like the enemy! I like to participate in a protest as much as the next person but I do not need to carry a gun to exercise my freedom of speech or expression.
And by the way, when I lived in Berlin I was required to carry my passport at all times. Now I am in Sicily/Italy & they also require it. Same as you, I take it with me to protests, demonstrations, or if I am going to a major event.
I wish some smart marketer will create a new party that is basically a socialist party, but without all the baggage that comes with calling it socialist. So, something like the Advanced Leadership League (ALL), we are ALL one! ALL for one and one for ALL.... Something that would be a socialist party that works for the good of the people, but that isn't named "Socialist" or Socialism. We ALL live in a society and need to take care of everyone.
@@TripBitten Agreed! Americans have been taught to hate the word socialism! It’s as bad as telling someone I’m vegan 😂
I think "vegan" is gaining some ground, but socialism is really hated in the US, even when you try to talk about helping everyone and how helping everyone actually helps them.... they don't want to hear it.
@@TripBitten it all goes back to Reds under the bed and workers union bashing, they really sold that piece of propaganda.....all swallowed greedily hook line and sinker. In Australia we didn't swallow the lot...only the hook,but they never give up trying to temp us with the rest of the rig.
@@TripBitten capitalists have done an excellent job in brainwashing the masses.
One thing I also wanted to point out is that Beijing is the capital of China, and it is a huge city. That is definitely why there are more police force stationed around the street corners. The same rule applies to other big cities, as well as touristy cities. In 99% of the cases, the police in China is there to provide help.
I highly value living in a safe society. China would be my preference over the US any day. No point having more freedoms if I'm feeling stressed and anxious everyday
Agreed, I don't want the freedom to be scared and worried all the time. Safety is important for any society.
I remember one time i got lost in Indianapolis airport, I saw a police car, so I want to go over to ask for directions (before GPS)era, the police just pull out his gun ask me to freeze. Scared the hack of me.

I live in Australia in an area that has a significant amount of youth crime with no consequences for their actions. I have lived in Singapore before as well and find a safe regulated society more free than a ‘free’ society. When you know where you stand in relation to governance it gives you freedom to be happy, to feel safe and to contribute to the society as a whole. Compared to a ‘free’ society where you are trapped with fear.

Hi. Very useful thanks
Thank you for telling the truth, hope more people can see your video
In China, if you have any difficulties, you can ask the police for help. The purpose of the police is to "find the police when you have difficulties" and "serve the people".
I saw E-motorcycle in the street everywhere , because China banned gas motorcycles in most cities 20 years back. Smaller e-bike first, then e-motorcycle and e-car, the government supported the change 30 years ago, this is why China makes better batteries now. I didn’t see such e-motors in US and other countries.
