China has been playing the game of relying on the economic boom and miracle, maybe even more prolifically than Japan in the 80s and 90s. We discuss why this might not work out in the long run.

Can you talk about Huawei's aggressive campaign in Canada to make our 5g network.. It's funny how almost every frame has to do with the northern lights (which is kinda true because I live have lived 5 minutes out of Winnipeg and cold see them in the summer) But I get that commercial 90% of the time and I am scared if it works it could fuck over Canada's intelligence and be a back door into fucking over America. No one trust are Prime Minister and (the sacrifice for legal weed) and he has went from our national debt possibly being paid off in my life time to more then doubling it in a few years and has committed crimes(less then Trump but still we give a shit here) and I am scared for the future of our Country but I don't see any big channels talking about this

Blah b What do you mean? In China? I had the idea that they were never kind with VPNs
Blah b Ah but I would figure whatsapp being blocked since they’re owned by Facebook. I’m familiar with end to end encryption but I’m not sure how that works with the Chinese firewall. I’d guess that it wouldn t let you connecting to whatsapp service at all
@@MayBeCoughmann
Well, that's the thing, we assumed that, but noticed a couple weeks ago you don't need a VPN to use whatsapp.
Until a few days ago.
And since today the VPNs can't even get enough bandwith through to make a videocall.
It'll probably relax after the national holidays though.

Been listening to you guys for years. I listen to a lot of podcast on the side, but when it comes to two people having a conversation that others can enjoy, you two are the standard. Your don’t interrupt each other and you guys value each other’s opinion, you two compliment each other’s presence. Love this channel
Bibi Jean agreed and the main reason why I love this channel is all the things you mention, but also they don’t crazy like other CZcamsrs.
They are talking normal and 100% being themself.
@Bibi Jean Totally agree. They come across as two friends having a conversation, as opposed to media talking heads interrupting each other every 3 seconds. I don't agree with everything they say, but I enjoy hearing their views on things.
A Caucasian friend of mine was mugged in Xi'an during daylight. The thief however ran away when she fought back and started shouting at him.

When teaching in Anhui Province, my students wanted to know about April Fools Day in America. I lived at the school with my scooter parked along with the other residents. On April first when I used my scooter the horn did not work. I was upset and wondered out loud what happened. Then, to my surprise, the horn started working again. It was not until at least a month later,
I found out that some students did it as a April 1st prank. I hear that other students got mad at the sabotaging so they repaired it.
Ah yes, messing with safety equipment for a prank, did they disconnect break Lines on other scooters aswell?
I used to forget to lock my car in Japan all the time, with iPods and other semi-valuable junk on full display and it was always there when I came back days later.
Japan IS safe. Safer than most western countries
Saw bicycles parked without locks 1am in Tsukiji last week. Even being accustommed to norwegian safety standards. That impressed me
Too many Chinese are moving to Japan now.
Well yeh 99% of the reason of that is because of the people's sense of duty to each other, and 1% due to the ridiculous punishment you get for petty crime, keeping the rare latent criminal at bay.
@@keksitzee1094 In Japan the conviction rate is 97%, in the US it is only 60%
That's the thing. South Africa's anc also want crime reporting to be abolished. Now I see the reason.
Mr. Motion, here in Venezuela that is exactly what the government ended doing, until they discovered that the NGO's still kept reporting data. Now they are giving numbers again (still tampered, but almost no one except their die-hards believes them).
Cheers.
It's so the populous doesn't get wise to how bad it really is.
While in USA there's the opposite problem, the news making it look like a violent wasteland when in reality you could walk through most major cities and not have a problem. Ok, you will step in human excrement in San Francisco.

You're supposed to wear the glove/gauntlet outside of the jacket sleeve. This way, if you fall and slide, the sleeve won't catch and roll up, exposing your arm. Or, when it rains, water won't go in the sleeve. Funnel shaped sleeve worn outside of the glove/gauntlet works like a bug catcher.

"Average Zhou," "Community College of Philadelphia," That commercial was *brilliant!*
I think Shanghai is as safe as they say, but I wouldn't leave my laptop and bag unattended in a coffee shop like I have seen over and over in Tokyo though.

@@huazhou7624 He might be killed in the subway , though, as a mass of Xinjiang people go slashing through there with knives. No place is perfect.
@@StudioArtFX that issue can be fixed by the CCP, no incident for the past 3 years, meaning that the CCP did a good job.
@@huazhou7624 Keep drinking the cool-aid. China not only underreports but censors news about crime. Especially mass killings. Look up the "Yongzhou courthouse shooting" or "Hebei tractor rampage" (where 17 were killed). Or you can continue to toe the party line of China being safe and America being a literal shooting gallery. Because at the end of the day, ignorance is bliss.
I will say, perception is reality when it comes to safety. I've worked a campus security job at 3/ 2.5 colleges in the same state in the US (one was an auxiliary campus for the main campus) in the same state, and depending on how campus officials reported events to students lead to a direct response on how safe students felt. One of the smaller campuses had the highest crime rate and per capita crime rates of the places I worked, but students felt super safe because they kept everything under wraps. Move over to a middle-sized institution where they broadcasted every infraction, and parents were calling in wanting to remove their children when I can tell you that it was laughable the amount of incidents that occurred, and the majority of which were minor petty crime. Perspective is the reality to most people who don't have the bigger picture, or who don't have an unhealthy amount of skepticism in my personal opinion.
Thank you for the engaging content! Love from rural America!
Thank you for the story. It’s why I don’t watch the news. Because every other day there’s a mass shooting and i just don’t have the time to worry about stuff like that
This is exactly the reason why people think Florida is full of psychos (Florida man/woman). But none of them know that it's because Florida is the most transparent state when it comes to public records.
Man that Nord VPN advt came out of nowhere..! 😅

USA TV news mantra: If it bleeds, it leads. All started when TV news became "Action News".
When I was young, we would go anywhere; we would cross busy thoroughfares to go to school; we would take the bus by ourselves.. Now, in America, we have half the crime and twice the population - yet all parents fear the safety of their children. My grandson lives a block from a park; I imagine: he'll be in his teens before he will be allowed to go there on his own.
Same here in the UK - I think a lot of it is due to how thoroughly connected we all are these days. Like they said in the video, stuff spreads like wildfire through these messaging apps, and the MSM would be accused of coverups if they didn't report everything. I think back in the day, a lot of crazy stuff went unreported here. Nowadays, aside from toilets like inner London, crime really isn't that bad for the most part.
Plus, for the last 20 years or so we have had the "great paedophile witch hunt" constantly in our news. I don't think instances of that are any more frequent than they were 20 years ago. Nonces are much more likely to get caught now, so I would wager that there are fewer of them around.
It all adds up to people (especially parents) being a bit paranoid and over-protective.
When I was 7 or 8, in the early 1960's I would walk miles to downtown to go visit the library. During summers, kids would get up early and find each other one by one then go play until we got hungry and some random kid's moms would feed the pack. Then we'd go play until sundown. I really don't think it's any more dangerous now, but the perception makes parents supervise or arrange supervision for their kids all day. That's going to bode badly for society.

Also, I remember eating at a truck stop and seeing some commotion at the register (guy wanted his money back or something and went apesh*t crazy). The cops were there in TWO minutes. LITERALLY!
The thing is, even if you ignore the crime in China, it's still far more dangerous in general due to the traffic accidents and air/food/water pollution.
Just like Chinese mainland often talk about corruption in US, but always praise their 3000+ parliament assembly in China. HOWEVER, as of right now, over 137 BILLIONAIRES belong CCP and that numbers will reach 200 soon.

As a Japanese that has lived in US for a while, I can see how your Chinese wife can think America is extremely dangerous place with bullets flying around from every direction, because that's basically how many Japanese think of America based on the news they've heard.
Of course, news media reports serious crimes and incidents, and not on the usual lives of usual people, so listening to news would give you very unbalanced idea of life in that country. I mean, Japan seemed like a very dangerous place based on the occasional news I was hearing in US, because the only news I heard were extremely serious crimes.
So, people should be concerned when you start not hearing on the news the crimes that's actually occurring, because that means those crimes are becoming mundane, usual part of life there. Or those news are being covered up, as it seems to be the case in China.
Just curious, would you say your overall quality of life has improved since living in the US? If not, what about it has decreased? I'm from the US and considering moving to Japan for work while I have the option.
@@JA-vz1nl I've moved back and forth since, and now I'm in Canada getting ready to move back to Japan in few months, and who knows where I'll be next. And things have changed a lot in all this time for both Japan and US so I don't know how much of my experience is applicable still.
I definitely enjoyed the experience living in US, mostly because it gave me much wider perspective on everything in life that I would never have had if I was living in Japan my whole life. In many ways my life also improved as it freed me from the very strong pressure to conform to the community that I felt in Japan. But you would probably not feel the same pressure if you are not a Japanese growing up in rural, small communities.
Japan is definitely safer than US, and you can usually trust Japanese people, businesses, infrastructure, products, etc, and that makes life much much easier than the life in US. Downside is that in Japan there's all these rules and customs, many of them unspoken and simply assumed, that often makes no sense and feels very restrictive and suffocating at times.
I've met Japanese people who say they loved living in US and would not go back to Japan, and those who say they hated living in US and would never do it again. So, the experience seems to be up to each person.
My suggestion is that just try it with open mind see what happens. If anything it might give you a new appreciation of the life in US.
Sorry, this was a rather long reply.
@@moriken1234 it was a great and informative, believable reply...
just heard a news that a guy put fire on a building in Japan, killing 33 people, damn it.
Stop your bla, bla, bla, Japan and China both safer than the US, end of the story.
I’m starting to feel less safe. Now with the Nextdoor App, neighbors are constantly sharing video stills from home security cameras, Ring Doorbells, and sharing anything that might possibly be a crime or a suspicious person.

Beats England to the top in euro crime statistics, which usually surprises everyone, & that wz before its demographic change enforced by left wing idealists that smell a rose & think it will make a nice soup. The most accurate portrayal wz probably "Let the Right One In" (the Swedish original) which is set on the type of council estate you see in the UK only with loads of snow, ie it looks mainly like a frozen toilet block. No or very little sense of humour in a cuntry full of socially aware twerps who have to take out a mortgage to escape from this cold, dark, humourless void using alcohol, you really have to imagine that you are watching the penultimate scene from Monty Python's: "The Meaning of Lif" in a cinema full of Swedes to appreciate just how lucky you are by comparison.

I'm still processing the previous episode on China making fake propaganda channels for youtube
Months ago ,my wife was watching one of these channels. I walked in and started watching. It was a really nice video of a young women who moved out to a small village from the city. She would gather vegetables and herbs and then produce amazing looking foods .
.... my mind started questioning the authenticity when her cooking skills , produce and meats were the work of a near master chef. Immediately, I began to comment on the cinematography, editing , lighting , ... 4k filming? 4k in a mud hut ? Wait , hold up . What's going on here? That's not your average canon 80d or Sony alpha7. That's red footage being used by pros. My wife was also commenting . She realized she had been hoodwinked for a few episodes.
So along comes your episode, a few months later. I got excited. "Sweety, you gotta see this . You remember that Chinese cooking gal in the sticks?"
She and I watched it together . You would think it made us happy that we were being validated. Nope , it was more like someone telling you that brown stuff you were eating and swore was poop , well it's poop. Didn't make the situation better. In fact , it's big time concerning. How many people have no clue that that pretty little show is a complete farce with destructive intent.

My neighborhood in Texas is not wealthy. I never witnessed a crime. Never witness police brutality. However, when I lived in Cali , my car was broken in to 3 times. I think violent crime in the US is over exaggerated.
Depend where you live in CA. Some city you won't want to even drive through at night.
Where do you live in TX?
Property crime in the US is very common. Most people got a car stollen, house robbed, or both at some point. Violent crime is much less common if you don’t run with a rough crowd. People that commit crimes are usually people you know so choose your friends wisely.
I am 75, have lived and traveled all over the USA and never seen a shooting. I have had cars broken into a couple of times, but that is it. A major part of violent crime is gangs fighting over territory or some sort of sick initiation ritual. That being said, there are parts of certain cities where I would not go walking alone day or night, if you are seen as a outsider, you are easy meat. I take long late nite walks around my neighborhood and have never seen anything out of the ordinary.
It's absolutely right, the person in my family was working in the mayor's office (retired now). In one of the largest cities; they told me that less than 1% of accidents are allowed to publish. Almost everything is swept under the carpet and news only can report what they were allowed to and even then the content has to still approve by editor in charge. There are special channels for Chinese officials to report on various stuff. The public is not allowed to know. There are a lot of leaks about many issues, but journalists are not allowed to investigate, and once that they go after very sensitive news will get shut down. One thing that really stands out to me was the number of people that apparently died in various construction accidents, e.g. building a subway, people were dying almost daily, nothing gets into the news. Only serious accidents are reported, I mean one that tens of people die a time. There is a rule as well in government that if in any accident die more than 70 people at time city mayor gets automatically removed. China is not what we think even living there for 15 years; you will only uncover half of the truth. Information is very strictly controlled. It is what it so stay awesome guys.
East asia in general dosen't really speak on crime in there countrys. All who go there use your heads my western brothers , people will be people no matter where you are so use your head and be careful
Thx mate. GOD BLESS & STAY HEALTHY 🙏👼
My experience with Japan is that it is genuinely extremely safe. Crime tends to be of two varieties, teenage punks doing stupid and petty stuff and yakuza organized crime. The average person won’t be affected by either one.
I live in Chicago. My area is pretty safe. But you really shouldn’t discount the racial tension that exists in the West right now. Many big cities are essentially self-segregated by race (Chicago is) and venturing into unfamiliar neighborhoods is not a great idea.
Overall I think Chicago’s dangerous reputation is overblown. But there are some neighborhoods that are very unsafe for both travelers and the people who live there.
Dont say "West" when you mean the US
@@Marco-wz3ff Canada too, and Britain, and France, and parts of Germany. I think that counts as "West."

@@aldofromsf Would that be because all cities are democrat controlled?
CITIES ? HELL NO..its the hee-haw towns , trump country, that yields the white Nationalists bullshit rhetoric and violence. Cities aren't even in the mix.
@@aldofromsf It's because most major cities are controlled by Democrat while Republicans more focus on rural area.
Big cities tend to have more crimes because more people live there. However, from FBI stats, some red states with less amount of population still have more crimes than Chicago city which have more population, just in much smaller area.

The Netherlands. It's easy to feel unsafe, but you actually are safe. Pretty much, relatively.
The safest country in the world by a long stretch is, of course, still Japan. A beautiful girl can safely walk down an alley, alone , in the dark. And a car left for a few minutes at a convenience store, keys in the ignition, engine even running, will stay there. And a camera left behind on a park bench, when returning half an hour later, will still be there - or has been turned in at the nearest police box. But then again, if you do the damnest little thing illegal and you're caught, you're in for quite an adventure.
@577AllWell I didn't say you're completely safe, but you can *be* safer than you might *feel*. Also the entire Netherlands is not just Amsterdam.
I've been robbed 3 times, and my sister was robbed one time while i was walking right next to her ... all took place in broad daylight, in market places packed with people. And nobody lifted a finger to help while i was screaming bloody murder.
One evening, i was walking alone in the street, and about 20 feet in front of me, a young boy was picking pocket of a young girl, who was absorbed in her phone chatting ... After the boy got the purse fished out of her backpack, he turned back and saw me, immediately warned me to "mind your own business"! Of course, i saw no evil, went on my way. :-( In my defense, that young boy was not alone. Once the boy succeed in his crime, a middleaged man popped out of nowhere, joined the boy to sclience me.
Till this day, I still couldn't figure out why they didnt mug me while they were at it, nobody was around.

The gloves go over the jacket Mr Winston . Lol
What is the point of zipping up your jacket if you are wearing shorts? Not for protection?
Not a lot of vital points in the leg area , it's better to use Kevlar pants for sure , but most of the stuff you need to protect to stay alive is on the upper part of the body, shorts just mean you'll suffer way more pain from falling, and that's it, jackets on the other hand will help you stay alive (marginally).
@@pedrothevenard yes he's correct. Most major organs are located from the upper wrist to lower forearm.
@@BH-ix7nq yes, because jackets only have sleeves nothing on the torso.

I live in Massachusetts. Sometimes I think they should just start the news with, "Today x-amount of people got murdered, raped, kidnapped, stabbed, mugged, robbed, etc.", then move on to other things. It sounds callous, but it is every night on the news.
That said, I feel safe where I am.
I also noticed this same pattern on my local news.
Except it had the same pattern of disaster 1, disaster 2, terrorism, global warming and now on to sport!
Its almost like its following a script!
In China for 7 years. Saw Chinese vs drunk Chinese in fiat & bottle fight. That’s it. Never saw any crime in public, never felt unsafe no matter at what time or where i was going.
I have been in my country for 25 years. I've never seen any crime in public. I have felt unsafe many times. My country has higher crime statistics than is reported in China.
Wake up!

I feel safe because I've made myself responsible for my safety and for the safety of those around me, whether family, friends or a stranger. Yes, I feel safe. I avoid areas like firearm free zones the reason is a law-abiding person obeys firearm free zone laws but one who wants to harm others doesn't obey laws like firearm free zones. How many people has a firearm free zone kept safe?
It's not about guns being present or not, it's about culture and the state of the nation determining how much alienation and hate is present and how the divisive divisions are sharply on the rise. I've been in lots of places with and without guns and was completely safe, but times are dramatically changing in countries like America, England, France, and Germany where safety is an increasing concern. Gun free zones like London and Paris can be very dangerous with knifing, mugging, and just fist fighting homeless zombies turning on your for no reason. They will all kill one another in brother wars when shit hits the fan with political or economic meltdown systemic failure whether there are guns in their hands or not. However, it would be nicer to be the guy holding guns, ammo, and supplies on owned property as his fort to defend his way of life instead of living in apartment at great peril due to limited money and housing options in life.

Amazing, I got to the 1:34 mark and really impressed with the fact, No Locks? Here, in the upper middle class tree lined American streets, I have to constantly worry about my Radrover fat tire e-bike and helmet. I always remove my phone and lock-up. Sad that that is the fact here in America.
Unfortunately it's like this anywhere in America. When I was in Taiwan a couple of months ago, people would leave their bags on the seats of restaurants and order things
What you say in this video contradicts many of the videos you guys did before.
You both did videos saying China was very safe and crime was low.
I think, it's possible, that with time, their opinions simply changed? Depends on how long ago the old videos where.
For a foreigner it is true, although you will be a target of scams and petty crime
I dont see it as contradicting, since I've been in China and saw how it is. Violent crime in China is very low, but again, with 1.3 billion population, even if the violent crime rate is only at 0.01%, that's still thousands of violent crimes happening in China frequently.
The issue is, as they stated, that the news of these violent attacks are not only not reported, they're downright suppressed.
An anecdotal case, I know, but while I lived in China, there was a violent attack in a university - a guy got rejected by a girl and he slashed her across the face with a knife. It was being talked about in WeChat groups by a bunch of people, but then the messages in WeChat simply disappeared. It was not reported anywhere at all and we only found out about it from other students talking about it.
So yeah, violent crime rates in China are very low, but when they happen, the information about it is entirely suppressed.
Live in the South of Germany. More often that not the door is left unlocked, have got to know a number of migrants from Syria, some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. Never a concerned about my safety. Crimes are reported and the town stands still in shock. Keep meaning to travel again to the US, but with each trip I'm more and more perturbed and nervous. Especially since my last trip to Vegas then a week or two later there was that mass shooting. Shivers down spine.
Hi from small coastal city in croatia, it has 50k people. Last time a car was stolen was 2006. Noone ever stabbed or shoot at anyone.
China is also a 4x more populous country.
If incidents happened at 4x the rate of the mighty USA, and if you were bombarded with such news on any platform (TV, social media), it would still only be normal in comparison.
Gungdong... wow, Guangxi for the last 15 years I've walked anywhere 7/24 for the last 15 years and less worries than stateside; 7 million in town!
Like anywhere in the world always prepaid oneself for all surprises.
The USA and South Africa have one thing in common that China and Taiwan does not , i'll leave it to others to figure out what that one thing is .
I live in Chicago and I feel safe. I've been living here all my life and I know what neighborhoods to avoid so I keep myself safe.

Long time Chicagoan here too, just stay north of 50th street ish and East of Cicero and you'll be fine. Also don't walk the 606 at night
I live in Mississippi and I visit Chicago several times throughout the year. I love that city. It is beautiful and I don’t necessarily fear for my safety but I also know that there are certain areas of Chicago that you should not go to. Yeah the gun violence is high in Chicago but it is mainly in certain areas whereas the majority of the city is ok like any other place.
Yeah, but nobody realizes that it's just ONE corner of Chicago. Everywhere else is fine.
I live in Philadelphia USA, I was robed three times at the gun point in my life time living here.
Yup. Sounds like Philly. Hell, the only major city I don't hear about disproportionate crime is Boston, though I'm sure there are many others. Ofc there is crime, but even on the local news it doesn't seem to be all that high for it's size.
@@userequaltoNull Seattle? Portland? New York? Denver?
China is a safe country, as long as you stay in the safe area. The thing is: you don't know where those areas are.
You do know, every countries have the safe area, it is those where the rich usually stay. However, if you someone make mistake of being at the wrong time during those ranting of rich children who tried to vent their anger or want entertainment, then you are screwed.
Like in Vietnam, this person who got hit by street racing of rich children and got into hospital, then when the family found out, his father came over and tried to make that rich spoiled brat pay for the bills. That rich brat hit the father as well and even threaten to kill him and his son in the hospital. Even got police to shut them up.
However, after someone make the news of this by using oversea facebook. Now the police try to say it is the fault of that person who got hit. However, after few weeks of complaint and make even bigger news, the culprit finally got on the news.
Remember, Vietnam is a LITE version of China, so if this story happened in China, don't expect it to even get on the news and will probably get CENSOR and blame as "PROPAGANDA" of the West.
@Scooby Skullx U mad bro? Seriously, can't talk bad about Chinese with so many of idiots like you around, LOL.
@@CuongNguyen-le5ic When Chinese tourists enter Vietnam, they will be blackmailed by customs officers, which causes the Chinese to have a bad first impression of Vietnam. Vietnam is much behind.

@@CuongNguyen-le5ic If the Chinese do not accept criticism, how have they developed rapidly in the past few decades and reached a high level of development? Because the Chinese are good at learning. Winston only catered to some viewers who hoped that China would not be good in China. He was relatively shallow.
I have had students in China in a city of 7 million look at me with a straight face and tell me that they were no murders in the city for the whole year. I don't even know what to say to someone so naive, I just smile and say that's great. What really bothers me is the sad sob stories at hospitals on the news on Chinese television, I finally figured out they keep a reporter at the hospital in an apartment for sad stories to fill in the evening newscast.
@Scooby Skullx I lived in a city of 7 million, tier 2 in China people really believe that crime never happens. I was channel surfing Chinese television and noticed one local news channel always had a burn victim or some old lady who fell down and the kids don't visit or help her, basically a sympathetic sob story to pull people's heartstrings. Some people go down to the hospital to pay part of the patients bill. My Chinese wife did not notice the hospital stories were long segments to keep from giving real news. Then I noticed it was always the same 2 hospitals and I had a foreign student from Ghana working there to study medicine that I met at Web English told me that a reporter lives in an apartment on the 10th floor of the hospital and it's her job to find these sad stories to put on the local news broadcast. So you always get pity party story on the local news and of course 6 or seven cooking channels and 4 "japan-china" war movies and copies of dating shows and that's basically Chinese television, so I keep the TV in storage now.
Detroit's reputation as a crime city is dramatically overblown and unfortunate, I have been living downtown and it has gotten significantly better over the past 10 years, it really is a beautiful city. New building popping up every month with thousands rushing back into the city.
In the 2 years I've been there so far there had been one incident of a homeless man exposing himself and the police showed up literally less than 60 seconds after I called. Very safe downtown.
Slowly rebuilding our reputation, it takes time
Gabriel Gilliam yeah, I bet, it’s same with Chicago, too. I live in the LA area and I can’t stand the notions that it’s crime infested, as if it’s still 1991. Truth is, we’re living in the safest time the country has ever known.
I totally disagree with your general viewpoints express in this video. Everywhere has dangerous people. the availability of weapons obviously makes a difference. And owing to that fact, but also based on everything I have heard, from Americans as, well as people who have traveled there, I have a very strong suspicion that the US is far more dangerous than China.
50 cent
This is exactly how it felt in the former Soviet space, minus social media. Places just felt very safe.
Dan Filimon well of course it would feel safe when you are in space
After the fact, would you say it was actually safe or was crime reporting suppressed? Or maybe both?
bruh you lived in the former soviet space? you must be old..
You lived in space dude?
@@RBuckminsterFuller Definitely, the crime reporting was suppressed and newspapers were not allowed to report any crimes! Not even in the renowned, 'Pravda' ( Truth) publication! 😁
You know, Soviets tried to project the 'perfect Soviet Society'! Stalin actually forbade crime reporting!
And crime was awful after the Revolution, since all the Prisoners were set free, irregardless of their crimes! It was like having another war within! The crime went through the roof!!
I almost wish we had China's crime news suppression. I feel safe from violent crime here in the US, but most parents are over-protective of their children due to sensational reporting, I would say. Thief crime is bad here, but probably similar to most other countries. Only country I would suppose low violent and property crime is Singapore.
A good low crime list Japan, Hawaii, Vietnam, Nepal, Scandinavia, (Norway Sweden, Denmark Finland. Iceland, Greenland, never been there but I'm pretty sure laos and Cambodia is just as safe as Vietnam and Nepal,
I think an interesting difference is that in China the rural areas are where the danger is, but in America, and many western countries, the cities is where a lot of the violent crimes are. Kind of the opposite
5 years in Beijing, never felt unsafe. traffic, I was nailed twice on my bike....i guess being from America i always had a feeling of something lurking under the surface, seen more than a few dead people, very little attention when reporting those things.
I was surprised how safe Beijing and Tianjin felt when I was there. The girls walking around unaccompanied at night was pretty shocking, completely different than the US. The average police and security seemed kind of worthless though and deaths from a horrifying accident due to lack of regulation enforcement seemed more common.
Why are you in Taiwan talking about bullshit? Hong Kong is where it's happening. Please get there with your drone and get some good footage and analysis of what's going on.
I was in Shanghai yesterday and there were multiple cops planted everywhere... street corners, alleyways
Even if physical security was really that secure... food safety, workplace safety, etc. is really not there
US pork was banned in China, due to US pork contains all kinds of chemical stuff ( I can't spell those long English name, all drug-like names), they must product special pork ( not adding those stuff) to be allowed to export to China.
You know why so many Americans are overweight? because they eat the meat of ox, pigs, chicken...etc. but they add the chemical to feed the pigs and chickens to let them grow very fast, some kind of growth hormones, those hormones keep the pig grows, then keep the people grow.... but those growth hormones are legalized in the US, this is actually a criminal, what do you think?

I am safe but my possessions are not. Thieves think they can get away with theft out here in the country because there are a lot less people around. We used to be able to leave our home unlocked but not anymore.
I live in a large town nearish London (outside of the borough of London by some way) and it's pretty safe all things considered. There's places I would avoid, but mainly because they're dumps, not that you're free from the risk of some youths trying it on. It's definitely not crime free but we're not that bad
And we're all hearing about all this crazy knife fighting on the rise in Londonistan and how the pub culture is just about dead. I think a guy could be just fine over there using common sense and as long as he has plenty of money to pay his way for it's most certainly not a bargain cheap country. I really enjoyed the two times I have been over there. I know not to walk into a pub and start saying stupid shit out loud like down with your football club for your team are losers. Love your museums, the country side, the fish and chips, and that most familiar charming saying in brotherhood, 'Cheers Mate!'
My wife's home village in Hubei is really nice most of the time, but the police refuse to go there because they're too afraid of some of the other people who live there.

In 2012 a high school student in my city brutally murdered his mother because the pressure of studying she and the school had been putting on him was driving him insane. It didn’t even make the local news. It was the ‘best’ high school of the whole province, very prestigious. I suspect they buried the story for fear of losing ‘business’: they wouldn’t want the money to stop flowing - any Chinese parent would kill to stuff money into the principal’s pocket to get their kids admitted into the school that supposedly would send them straight into the best colleges and a bright future, but a school that produced psychotic murderers? Not so much.
Most crime in the US is in the low income inner city areas. Crime rates are as high as 20-40 violent crimes per 100,000, but when you get out of the big cities the crime rate drops to 1-2 or even lower.
That is why Civil Rights Activists try and move people from inner city areas out into the suburbs to make it look like crime has gone done in the US. You also have some city government's downgrading serious crimes to make their cities seem safer.
@@russianbotfarm3036 It is mostly cramming too many people into poor neighborhoods, wirth few jobs available and poorly managed schools, overstretched police forces, and too few of government programs to help them actually got out of the endless loop of government assistance.

Here is my opinion and my observations:
Regarding the safety of the rural area in China, you guys are wrong. My hometown is in a rural area of southeast of China. It is quite safe! When I was a child, most of time I just left my door unlocked, without worrying thefts. No homicide ever happed in my village. The reason for this, because a lot of villages in Southern China actually developed from one ancestor/family, everyone knows each other. There are rarely visitors. The most serious crimes happened in my village were stealing and taking drugs in the past 30 years. So your comments about the rural area of China are not true according to my own experinces.
Regarding the safe in Shenzhen, I lived in a city quite similar to Shenzhen, which was quite famous for small commodity productions. So there were a lot of factories and a lot of workers from the not well-developed provinces. You know in this kind of city, the population mobility is high. And also There was a big gap between the rich and the poor. So especially before the Chinese new year, the crime rate increased a lot! Because some of these workers, they didn't work hard or didn't earn a lot of money, so they want to get some "quick money" through crimes before they returned to home. And local televisions reported a lot of these homicide crimes before Chinese new year to warn the citizens to stay alert for these crimes. At that time, I was in middle and high school, it was really scary. That city's safety was way worse than my village. The interesting thing is my father who visited Guangzhou, he told me Guangzhou's safety was even worse, it was not safe for you to wear golden earrings or necklaces, because these people with motorbikes would directly grab the earrings and ran away. So I believed Guangzhou is one of the most unsafe city since my childhood.
Regarding American safety, honestly, I don't think it is safer than China. I never retuned home later than 9 PM. The American public safety highly depends on the neighborhood. If you are rich, and can afford the rich place apartment, it can be quite safe. But if you cannot afford a good place, then some places with "low-income" "not well-educated" neighbors, it can be a disaster, and the allowance of owning gun just make things even worse. My neighbor was a Chinese visiting scholar, just lived in the US for 1 year, he was robbed by three black people with guns. That was his worse experience in his lifetime. Then after that, I realized I should find a place some where else, now my living place is safer.
Overall, I don't think the US is safer than China, very simple, I dare to walk on street at 1 AM in China, I never do this in the US.
Good comment
I live in the Crime Capital of Canada: North Battleford Saskatchewan. It was ironic that I was more paranoid about being in downtown Toronto than just doing my day-to-day in North Battleford. It comes down to reputation and how the human mind assesses risk. The human mind doesn't follow rational rules or look at and weigh evidence correctly. It goes by 'feels' and stories. It works well enough for us to survive but is not optimized for maximum rationality. Stay safe. Be awesome!
Winston does the editing for the on-the-bike videos, right? He forgot to include the links to the videos in the ending stinger. That's his oopsie.
Developed places with very little crime: Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Czech Republic
Monoracial places with very little immigration: Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Czech Republic.
Just stating 2 facts.
Cherry-picked, if they really are facts
Those a group of fairly nice small countries possible to live in teach by teaching English on 1 year work visas. South Korea is not bad on the surface where I never felt in danger walking at night, but there is much xenophobia and hate under the surface with all the toxic culture of passive aggressive duplicity mental case BS going on. Korea becomes stifling unless one doesn't pay attention nor care preferring to live easy in the moment hanging out with other foreigners which is a really fun social scene more than possible in any of the Western countries. Poland and Czech look awesomely well on the surface being European and traditionally Caucasian, but the pay and personal finance make it too hard and risky unless one is EU or UK citizen. America has a brutally toxic hateful backstabbing work place culture and road rage antisocial culture that it's isolating as can be, but it's my home country. Japan is way too expensive, but looks super interesting on the surface. I'd love it if there was a country one could immigrate to for a second chance new deal in life to be gainfully employed with generous pay, save money, own a home, not have to endure all the hate, and even peacefully retire, but America is that one immigrant country of the world where all cultures come to die. The colonial age is coming to a close...
There have been three murders in two incidents within 200 yards of my apartment in the last four years. One guy was stabbed in his living room by a family member and two people were attacked with an axe on the pavement around the corner. Both received almost no official media coverage and I only found out about the axe killings because of WeChat videos. It was literally one minute's walk around the corner. The first killing I learned about first hand as a huge crowd gathered around the building (and took turns to go up to the guys window and look inside at the crime scene!) and I watched from my window as the armed police and ambulance arrived.
1:22 there are more reasons for no one stealing helmets or scooters. Helmets because they are so cheap and it has the owners' smell, so it is like hanging your personal panties on the side mirror or seat. Scooters because they lose so much value that becomes worthless to steal it, and you barely see anyone buying a second-hand scooter.

Stationed in Finland and it's pretty safe here. I called police for the first time in my entire life a while ago. I often heard one sided yelling from neighbor, but once girlfriend was *freaking out* on the poor lad, punching walls/doors. First just one officer went knocking, got cursed at, fetched a friend, maybe forced the door open, apparently forced her onto the floor (by the sound of it). Seemed like she got stern warning and lesson in humility, sulked rest of the evening. She seemed to calm down after that, i've barely heard anything since.
That's absolutely the defining factor as to whether these crimes are being reported to the public. Not reporting serious crime is not only a huge disservice to the community but also puts everyone in potential danger
