Legal Trouble in China

- Lawyers, legal fees, divorce, legal aid, legal trouble. All things you expect to hear if you are in America, however, in China it's a bit different. However, as a foreigner in China, it might seem that all odds are against you when you run into legal trouble. There is a huge "us vs. them" mentality in China, and in this video, I want to help you not be at the butt end of any legal situation you might run into.
As a foreigner, what can you expect when you're faced with some serious legal issues in China?

I really enjoyed John's valuable contribution to this video
Winston was so comfortably uncomfortable
it made me laugh so hard I woke up my roommate who sleeps on the other side of the flat.
😂😂😂
Bradford Kelly lmaooo😂😂😂
LAMO
hahahaha
NEVER break up with Chinese girl. If you don't won't to meet with her anymore, make her break up with you . All you have to do is to tell her that you have financial problems.
Or say you have some non-sexually-transmitted disease. that'll work like wonders.
Genius!
I thought that worked with all women
YAS!
I did it also in Indonesia. :o))
That random guy should be in every video
:DDD
glenn mcquade hahaha he's random af
*Random Chinese guy appears*
love how you dealt with the random onlooker, a lot of people would've just been hostile towards him but you were very polite and friendly and warm despite being obviously put out. Great example for how people should interact with one another! :)
Agreed, be friendly even if their behavior doesn't match your ideals. Win with kindness! I would love to have seen a chat in chinese with the random guy and get his take on WTF he was doing.
That stranger stared at him like he loved him lol
I felt the same. I thought it was so well handled that I started laughing at the situation! 😂
The South African speaks Chinese. He could have spoken more Chinese to the Chinese man so that he would understand what was going on but he did not do that. He could then have translated that for us in the caption so that we would all know what was going on
Chris Browne who’s that idiot guy ? 😄
😂😂😂 That guy at the end.... 😂😂 How awkward?! 😅 You handle those situations so well, Winston. lol
There was no problem really. The guy was just curious.
He is very cool headed and charismatic, I'm jealous haha
He was most likely taking an opportunity to study English pronunciation.
lol that is so right. he just wanted to witness some english language in the wild lol
Ninya Great insight. Never would have thought that.
'that guy is annoying the hell out of me so I'm just going to sit him right next to me...' so funny. What a great way to show off your black belt in human relations. My new favourite channel!
i have never seen ANYTHING like it. absolutely fascinating on all accounts!
If someone takes your passport run to your embassy, never let foreign police take your passport without your embassy's knowledge of the situation. They are you first call always.
If they take your passport flee to your embassy. They will diplomatic bag you out of there.
I was living in Nepal and had a law enforcement officer take my passport... I immediately said "Im going to my embassy" and it was back in my hands immediately.
Isn´t the Passport a Property of your Country? I mean in my passport is written "Dieser Pass ist Eigentum der Bundesrepublik Deutschland" or this passport is property of the german federal republic...
@Piatequila I had to get a new Passport a Short time ago and asked about that... It's easy to take the Passport away if It's yours but if It's a property of your country they could order the local authoritys to hand it Back. Otherwise it would be a diplomatic incident.
@@ArtjomKoslow yep. In my Irish passport it also clearly states, "Property of the Republic of Ireland's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade".
AUDE SAPERE do you have to pay separately for a passport in Ireland or does the government provide you one for free?
She bit a chunk out of his arm and he is at fault for hitting her? Not in my universe.
That aside I enjoyed your video.
date a chinese girl date her whole family..
does that phrase include the sex part?
No always true. Some refuse to introduce you to their family
you don't want to do that lol
PathsUnwritten because they know the family will not approve. meaning it's not a good relationship
this girl is probably from some not decent families, such as families poor as shit and have bunch of relatives or girls have mafia connections. I believe if he choose to date some girls with a fine back ground, the consequence can not be so extreme.
Serpentza always convincing me not to go to China
+3nien yes, and learn to stay off of illegal foreign websites like CZcams, it's a violation of Chinese law and therefore disrespectful to Chinese people to break their rules and customs.
+3nien chinese laws apply to all Chinese citizens regardless of what country they are in.
+Robert 50cent, ehh ?
Any foreigner that lives there should keep a fake passport on hand hidden away so they can get out the country if they need to. They sell them on the darknet. I never thought of it before the Silk Road documentary.
Here is he still in China
the random chinese guy is a legend
Zhenlin Jin thanks buddy
What an idiot the guy who joined lol
He IS a legend! Might or might not be an idiot, I dunno. Very rude and unfair behavior from the host.
he is John,John Ram bo
Bet his real name is Jim 😂😂😂😂
How you handled that random guy was amazing. You give me hope for the human race. Thank you for being a shining model of humanity!
amazing video Winston! that whole scenario with that guy was so fucking funny
Your "Royal" pride triggers me
It's a Scotland flag.
you know very little son. The police are in on the act. Lol
No, it's the lannisters flag from game of thrones.
No, its the Lion Rampant , a Scottish flag, there's an area called Wester Ross in Scotland too.
so, why cant he demand compensation from her for his injuries and destruction of his property?
Because he's not Chinese
+3nien is it legal for women to destroy property and bite people? or did you not hear that part of the story?
+Rian no, Green Girl is a separate unrelated incident.
It's not about western law dumbass. Think of it as an eye for an eye. She literally bit a chunk out of his arm, he will have hospital bills for that and he should not have to pay for it.
Also she was in HIS apartment, where she was not invited and was commiting a crime.
actually he can.but legal process could be time consuming and not worth in financial way.frankly I think that lot of money he pay to the girl may find a good lawyer to help him.
I applaud you for inviting the random guy staring at you to sit next to you. I’m not sure I would/could have done that. It’s clearly shows how different the social environment is there. Sorry to hear about your terrible massage experience. Thank you for sharing your story.
That random dude😂He probably was just excited to hear someone speak english?
Just watch tv or go to the internet
@@bryanryan4504 It's different in real life. I can hear Japanese all day by watching stuff online but once I heard it in real life I felt excited
I've been living in China for the past 7 years, and have recently tripped across these great videos. This one was pretty sobering, for two reasons. First, because the truth sometimes hurts, and it can also be ugly (i.e., the ultra-Nationalism). And second, reflecting upon a few incidents/happenings in which I've been involved, I now realize how close I've come to landing in serious trouble due to both my imprudence and occasional hot temper.
lol wtf at random person joining in.
This just goes to show how cut off China is. It's interesting and sad at the same time. It's weird that they cut them selves off are super nationalistic, but then allow foreigners to come. It's like "we think you're lower than us and don't really care for you, but sure you can hang out here". Like why.
Money
Why u delete comment tho?
Serpentza ...you’re a gentleman and you don’t use much profanity....AKA “nonsense” instead of bullsh&’g! I’m gonna try that...!
haha.. the guy staring at you during the video was quite strange. he seemed genuinely interested with no ill intent, despite the awkwardness. very funny!
FerrisZzZzZ he was probably interested in the English maybe :p
This should be the one video anyone coming to China should watch. Fortunately, I don't know anyone who this has happened to but this is something that everyone should be aware of in the culture here. Excellent work, Winston
All foreigners regardless of nationality MUST KNOW THE LOCAL LAW. Law in China is not as what you just described. I'm going to explain more and hope it'll help foreigners living alone in China.
First of all, you're correct on the fact that local police doesn't like to get involved with a foreigner. Because they have no jurisdiction right to get involved. It's the Judicial Police who only have the right to handle incidents with foreigners. Keep this in mind and declare your nationality right away and request the Judicial Police (it's pronounced "Si Fa Jing Cha" or "Si Jing" for short). Also, since the local police cannot handle foreigner case, your passport will be turned over to the Judicial Police by law.
Second, always keep your embassy phone number saved on your phone (all of the embassies representing your nationality in China, cause you might have to try more than one to get through) and know their business hour and emergency contact. All foreign embassies will have emergency contact. At the first sign of police involvement, call your embassy. For extra sense of security, also save the phone number from an allied country embassy.
Third, China has civil law just as we do in the US. If you sustained physically injury, go to the hospital and have them check up on those injury and write a report. This will be your evidence! Depending on whether you want to pursue legal action, you'll want to file a police report just like in the US or any other western countries if you want to pursue legal action. This is your second piece of evidence. Ultimately, you'll have to decide whether to get a lawyer and press charge. If your angry girlfriend/mistress/whatever you call her do come after you with police, you might just have to press charge. For 40,000RMB you can get a decent lawyer already.
For legal justice involving foreigner, it'll be handled by the superior court than the local people's court. China's very specific about handling issues that involving a foreigner, it must be handled by the higher judicial system that was designated for from the police to the court. This branch of the system is under the foreign affairs branch and are the only ones authorized to handle cases involving foreigners. There are specific law defining compensation for injuries done to the local or a foreigner. In your friend's case that bite with flesh off entitles him to a decent amount payment of around 10,000RMB or 20,000RMB (price varies depending on the city, and that was many years ago). If charges were pressed onto the girl, he has all the right to ask for all compensation, including emotional trauma, punitive damage, etc. just like in the US.
Final thought. There's a strange custom in China among young couple in a relationship where the man gives the women these goodwill:
1. relationship establishment goodwill(can be gift, price varies, depends on your negotiation)
2. break up goodwill(can be gift, price varies, depends on your negotiation)
3. abortion goodwill(can be gift, price varies, blah blah blah)
4. divorce goodwill(can be gift, same old blah blah blah)
Westerners rarely break off a relationship until their partner found out about the cheating, so use your man charm to reduce as much damage as possible before it gets out of hands. Just like you said that you can't vouch for your friend's action, which leads to total destruction plus now he has to get an attorney. Do not ever underestimate Chinese girls. Competition for a good man is so fierce that they have 10x sharper senses than you do.
Always memorize point #1, it'll still get you free and you can make calls for help. Then evaluate the rest of the points above and make a decent decision. It has nothing to do with the girl having some kind of secret agreement with the local police. The local police are more afraid of you as soon as you request for the Judicial Police.
Lastly, I know many single man enjoys a good company while living in China. But take responsibility in your own action and not breaking a girl's heart left and right like a Chip'n'Dale. No women from anywhere on this earth like to be cheated, just as is for men. Chinese girls are still very traditional and dead serious in committing to marry you and spend the rest of her life with you. Most of them will send half of the money back home to their parents from the tradition to take care of the parents.
Hope this can help for those living overseas, and I truly wish nobody has to run this procedure at all. Learn the local law and culture as fast as you can. Enjoy and stay safe.
Would a coat hanger be an appropriate abortion gift?
Maybe, if she agrees...lol
0kasede0 Great post!
+0kasede0 been through this before?
0kasede0 Great post!
Now we need a follow up video on what happened with random guy after.
What I get from this is simply "dont go to China". Message heard loud and clear.
Honestly, really, I am counting down my days until I can leave China. It's just a horrible country. I have no idea why any expats stay here.
tmw you misread "the massage heard loud and clear"
Taiwan won't even admit being China, and rather be Japan, so your statement is moot.
that wasnt really the message of the video but go ahead and force your opinion on everything
if that was the message he wanted to give, he would not be there in the first place, right? It's just a lifes experience and surely not an easy lifes, but a life of choice. if you want to interpret it that way, ok, but dont conclude it into a "message" that wasnt made
That random guy at the end of the video is the weirdo in every elementary, middle and high school class in China.
he's the one dipping fries in mayo
You will see a shitload of these socially awkward chinese dude in China and America. That is what happened if you study all day and dont go out to experience life.
Everybody in Holland is dipping fries in mayo.... litterally everybody.
Ronald de Rooij Wow, what are you calling for? Should we all mass together to plot a genocide against the people of Holland? Is that what you're claiming, Ronald de Rooij? You think you'll survive, but you won't.
Agreed. I live in the UK where most people prefer ketchup, or god forbid barbecue sauce. Mayo is the superior choice, just like the metric system.
i am pretty sure this guys purpose is to practice some english
😉😀😁😁
the anti-social loser who wanted to practice his english never realized he'd become the butt of jokes from packs of fecund amerikan anti-social losers. ironic.
Perhaps. I do know that there are not a lot of members of the Communist party in China, but they do not make it obvious and watch a lot.
I learned this in a class I took on China I took in college.
I also had two Chinese roommates. They were awesome roommates. We got along great.
One night as we were eating homemade Chinese food, I started talking about the third wave and Democracy in China. I also mentioned the 1989 protests.
One of my roommates got very quiet and observant. The other roommate was nervous. Bear in mind, we were in America.
The nervous roommate said that all that matters is that you eat. I could tell that I was putting him in a bind, so I did not press the issue out of respect for him.
In English English it would be "practise".
Yes, but in the US this is the correct way to write it.
Winston, your videos are just great. Informative and entertaining. I'm 72 years old and have seen about 15 western countries but your videos are way better than the travelogues of 1950s thru 2000 US TV. Thank-you so much.
That was awesome to see how you were open to let someone who was completely interested in your talk/convo/story sit down and be a part of it
Thanks for being nice to the young guy, he just looked very curious and seemed to be trying to understand your English. Did you talk to him after the video?
What @PintoBlades said, hopefully you spoke some Cantonese with him and made him feel at ease, that would have been the humanitarian thing to do, (2 years later)
Insane Cuckooman he seemed to have tics. If you watch his eyes he has an odd twitch
He looked curious? He looked completely airheaded.
This video is giving the absurd impression that how he acted was the only way to handle this situation, which is quite a harmful opinion to spread. Paying some arbitrary amounts, not contacting the embassy/consulate and not hiring a lawyer is the dumbest thing he could possibly have done!
What the police station is doing is illegal because no lawsuit has been filed (clearly according to the details), and the mediator game by police is a well know extortion/corruption scheme here.
Obviously, he should simply threaten the police department to involve the embassy of his home country, who are very active in returning illegally confiscated passports, and should have hired a lawyer if they would still have kept his passport.
+Larkhill21 Assistance in such a situation is very specifically a task of an embassy/consulate. We are not talking about legal service here, but the illegal confiscation of a passport which is property of the home country.
All the details in the story are indicating that the "police station" is playing the typical abuse of power in it's role as a mediator in private disputes, to which the parties in the conflict may or may not volunteer to listen to according to Chinese law.
Paying anything and not contacting the embassy/consulate and not hiring a lawyer is the dumbest thing he could possibly have done!
This video is giving the absurd impression that how he acted was the only way to handle this situation, which is quite a harmful opinion to spread.
***** No, that's not "my way", but the only sensible way. Paying some high arbitrary amounts for compensation in this case, is simply dumb.
I have no idea what "meals" you are talking about!
Sebastian Till...YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE LAW THERE, It's not illegally confiscated passports WHEN A LAW IS ALREADY BROKEN BY That man. One simple question, DID HE HIT THE WOMAN, YES. LAW IS Broken, not even the Embassy can save you from that FACT.
Embassy can save you if you didn't broke any law, but since he started a domestic dispute problem, and get into a moral issue of cheating...Embassy can't do much, they can provide a list of lawyers...but GOOD LUCK...now You paying her family, her lawyer, and your lawyer, so instead of paying her family $8000 US Dollar, you will pay whatever the lawyer is charging you, which probably is at least 10x more than $8000. Going to court, I'm pretty sure the man is going to LOSE the case.
Why he will lose in court? Because the whole thing happened because he cheated, it's what started the whole problem, so he's the main source of problem...most Chinese who heard of this story will think the man is in the wrong, so the Judge will have no exception...also if he favorite the Foreigner, then the JUDGE himself will lose his job because he just make Chinese people lose face by saying it's OK for Foreigner to cheat on Chinese woman.
Learn about the local culture, don't make foolish mistake, cheating in itself is a moral issue, but it makes lots local people angry, and many of them (especially Chinese man don't like Foreigner taking their woman in country where man out number woman greatly.) So she's backed by her locals and her country. No way he's gonna win.
***** Yeah, you need to show them your passport and try to be cooperative if you want to avoid trouble.
However, nothing you have stated is contradicting to the matter of fact that no one should ever settle with the abuse of power by the PSB, unless it's about a true triviality.
Contrary to what you (and the video author) believe, the legal system in China is a solid basis to handle matters like this case.
A simple call to the embassy/consulate would probably already caused the return of the passport.
If this wouldn't have happened, then he could have hired a lawyer for a fraction of the arbitrary blackmail "settlement", which in turn would have forced the girl to either file a lawsuit or to drop the case. A lower degree of rightfulness in Chinese law isn't changing this fact.
Contrary to what most people believe, China is not a legal Wild West anymore and things have changed drastically. Samples of cases of injustice don't change the fact that he should have called the embassy and hired a lawyer.
tunmanc Slow down cowboy! You clearly don't get trivial facts straight.
The situation he is in now is clearly showing that he should have called the embassy and hired a lawyer, which would have come out much cheaper, because obviously no lawsuit would have ever been filed/accepted in this case.
Cheating on a girlfriend and having a minor domestic violent fight without a clear aggressor will certainly not land you in court, regardless what flashy rumors you have heard when gulping down Tsingtao with your laowai mates.
She should have had to pay for his stuff she trashed.
naa, I am a westener but I disagree is the revenge for being a shitty person and cheat on someone
Johnfuse if you think cheating is okay youre part of the problem.
@Piatequila so your condoning violence against men. That really helps.
Lol, your sitting there talking about a very serious personal situation and the guy next to you randomly sits down 😂 .
''my friend wanted to get a dodgy massage''
Yeah yeah Winston, I believe you! Your friend... wanted the dodgy massage.
He was beaten because he said to the face of a Chinese that he is a trash race. This is a very offensive racist remark and invited repercussions. Very simple.
***** by this I meant that... you know the joke- how usually when somebody asks for help in sexual matters, they say ''my friend is having trouble in bed...'' not themselves :D
Mr Me - I think he was trying to address the popular scams that take place in Asia against forners, and not his sexual problems, and he does not come across as racist but rather talks about the racism he has experienced.
is that guy C-milk
And I thought only the blacks were experts at twisting the words of a white man. But the solution with the blacks is the tell them straight up that they can twist what ever they want because they know what I said and they can twist their mamma.
I am sorry what happened to you Winston five years ago. I support you as me as a Chinese man very shame to what's my people done. I will try my best to change all.
If you feel shame for your people then you missed the point of the video. Feel shame for yourself if you are one of the people that he is talking about but if you are not then don't feel shame. You are a part of your people but you are not a representative for all people. I know that some points of eastern philosophy view individualism as sinful and in truth it can be but that is not the whole story and collectivism can be just as harmful (in most practical cases it has proven even more harmful)
I always tell my new western colleagues that no Chinese women dates just for the fun of it... if you’re not serious about the future don’t do it.
Lol, John is adorable. He was trying to learn some english or some stuff like that. Absolutely adorable.
you've gone soft in your old age, Satan

Yeah, definitely some fatal attraction type shit going on.
you just called all Chinese gays
lol
welcome to china that happens at least 50 times per day
That was next level funny shit. Winston has that kind of British humor ( I know he is SA). This guy didn't know he was being punked. Just sat their staring like a bitch. Winston can be so snarky and condescending without the china man knowing. It's very funny
Oh my God he just sticking around, so innocent. It feels weird though.
it's totally fascinating, some of the oddest behavior I have ever seen, my god
Love that Random Chinese dude! Love how you dealt with him, restored my faith in humanity 🙏🏽
The massage house is obviously ran by
a local gang.
here's my story !! I was speaking to the police in the subway asking for directions when this guy (it was obvious that he was trying to practice English) came up to me offering help and I told him very politely : " I can speak Chinese" but than he got upset and said that I should have thanked him cause that's the right way to behave !! I got offended and said : "what are you gone teach me manners now ?!" or smth like that and the guy started shouting telling everyone "this foreigner is unpolite, doesn't respect Chinese people and was not letting me get directions or anything just attracted a crowd and the police kind of surrounded us for protection ! I kept saying to him what the hell do you want from me go away but he would not let it go so since I was in a rush I got out of the subway and then came back after a while and asked for information again ! that was a scary situation imagine if no police around...! Now some might think that maybe I should have let it go from the start since I know the nationalism problem but the thing was that in 10 years in China never have I seen this kind of behavior towards foreigners and to say the truth that's when I felt the nationalism rise for the first time cause up til then this kind of situation was absurd to even think of so it caught me by surprise...
I have had the same thing on a bus guy sits next to me when I'm totally knackered. Tell him I just want to rest and he starts getting all upset jumps in another seat and starts giving me the bad eye jumping and twitching like hes going to kill me. LoL I'm sure its PTSD from the way they are treated when younger causing a victim mentality. Even speaking German does not work. I now say I'm an English professor $1500 an hour when would you like a class. 4 years ago.
moral of the story, dont be an ass and learn good manners
Hahaha that was so nice of you to invite John into the video 😂👍🏽
I don´t know if you are reading this Winston, but I truly admire you, I really do. I admire the way you deal with such a calm state of mind and serenity all the legal and issues mess, as a foreigner, in a place like China and their narrow mentality. What I mean with is that they can´t even deal with constructive criticism, you can have an idea what Chinese deal with justice.
lmao winston, i admire you for having a great ability of not being distracted by surroundings,lol
Winston, your production values and techniques have really improved over the past couple of years. It's quite noticeable so congratulations and well done!
The random Chinese guy probably has never seen a Caucasian guy or never been this physically close next to a Caucasian guy so far in his life. He was super curious about you, and I also think he likes you very much and wants to be your friend. It is a good thing.
Dandy.....Remember Winston is 1.3% Black. *~XD*
Hahaha that chinese guy looking at at you is epic. Haha
From the way you talk to John, I think you are awesome. :D
Lol, dude you handle the odd guy great. Very professional.
You're an awesome dude! I love how you interacted with this spectator and involved him into your outro!
I must say, it speaks volumes about your character that you can make friends so easily.
Dude, I've been watching your videos since yesterday. You have been a great source of information about my curiositie about China. I couldn't express how thankfull I am. But the more videos I watch the more I wonder why the hell you're still there. I understand you sense of adventure. But I couldn't live on that kind of environment, with all the freaky people staring at me, and all this nationalistic nonsense.
YES DUDE
Let me summarize the whole video:
1. Foreign guy cheats on Chinese girlfriend, gets his property destroyed, his arm bitten, however has to pay her 40k yuan. She wants him in jail so to scare him and milk him. Moral of the story: DON'T CHEAT.
2. Mexican girls gets stalked, Chinese authorities don't care, she insisted and got the police guys to call the stalker and stop him. Moral of the story: when dealing with local authorities, INSIST.
3. Serpentza got a foot massage, his friend wanted sexual services but got any and leaves the place, however Serpentza had to pay 50 yuan for his foot massage + the 200 yuan non fuck of his friend. He confronts the staff, insult one of them, the whole China got offended, the mob beat the hell out of him, but police saved him and agreed he was right. Moral of the story: DON'T INSULT A CHINESE.
4. Random Chinese guy appears in the video with nothing to say, but stays making the final minutes of the videos awkward-hilarious. Moral of the story: BE FRIENDLY.
Oh man, so much props for keeping up with the talk :D I don't know how you managed to do that with that random guy just sitting next to you for no apparent reason.
And it seemed like just another day for the random guy xD
It seems amazing to the guy the way you show your individuality by partaking in a solo activity and occupying yourself alone with a camera is facinating. The share amount of people that stop what they are doing just to pay attention to you says it all.
Dude. If you date a Chinese chick you date her whole family... Trouble!. lol
So she bites a chunk out of his arm, and destroys his appartment, but he hurt her?
The question is, she got a black eye. Those are not easy to come by. Did he get a scar/obvious injury in his arm?
yes she bit a chunk out of his arm, destroyed his property AND he hurt her. All of that happened. just because you don't think something is justified doesn't mean the damage wasnt done. im sure her family was saying the same thing in reverse to the police, ya know? It's about perspective on facts and taking your personal emotions out.
Those events happened and then he was extorted. What about that presented in video format was so hard to understand?
To get your passport back. Go to embassy and report it stolen. Viola! Get new passport.
xD lol
But they might just take it again when you have to show it somewhere...
Voilà. enfr.dict.cc/?s=voila
Very likely, the embassy wants to see a police record of you reporting the theft.
The RealJared voila,not viola ahahah
New passport wont have visa sticker, so you wont be allowed to leave without paying
The fact that you're an educator is evident in the way you handle you spare tire onlooker. Most people would resolve that issue before continuing, you just add to the group and groove on. Way impressive.
So true about making a Chinese girl angry. Very jealous indeed. Even sometimes when it's not warranted. Just be careful and take it seriously.
Yeah, that part about Chinese girl is always true...
Big fan, but I just want to say 60k viewers have been staring at you plus that guy. lol keep the great videos.
Anyone know a Notary office in Shenzhen for a visiting Canadian ? Government Notaries only help foreigners with work visa
War department
dude you handle the weirdness so well!
Stupid question, but couldn't he report the passport as lost and get a new one?
Yes, but he has to get another chinese visa and most likely there would be notification from local authorities to the PSB where he would get a new visa stamp inputted into his passport, thus, causing same scenario.
I thought about it but I think the china's government is not stupid of course they going force the Embassys to get some clear paper or contact with the local police before issuing a y new passport
"my name is john"
I have noticed that a few times so far... why do Chinese people use random "western" names for themselves?
lordeisschrank had a Chinese business associate of my ex boyfriend stay with us in California for a month. He went by the name “Jeffrey”, ironically enough was also my boyfriends name. I asked him why many Chinese do this and he explained that in elementary school they are told to pick a western name.
It's because Chinese has plenty of consonants that are simply non-existent in English. My legal given name is Zongqi, for which the most similar English pronunciation is zth-own-chee, but z and q are technically apical and palatal affricate respectively, neither found in English. There's a neat table on Wikipedia about this en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandarin_Chinese#Initials.
Ultimately, Chinese is so different from all Latin and Germanic languages, that attempting to use a phonetic Chinese name as an English name just causes more trouble than using a preferred Western name. For example I can tell you verbally my name is James and you would know how it's spelled. But if I said "zth-own-chee" then I would have to spell it out for you every time, and you would have a hard time remembering it. It's easier for everyone you see.
@@scheimong Nice . I love Chinese and Taiwanese . My sister in law and doctor since 2002 both have surname "HSU" . Weird huh ???
@@scheimong I have trouble just with my simple name Tib, I always have to correct since everyone thinks Tim. I can imagine the difficulty with Chinese. Although I've had that conversation with some of my Chinese friends, I also asked why they didn't use their Chinese name.
It was probably Jiang.
I Have been stalked seriously by 2 different women, I was laughed at by my Principal, Fellow males, Police and even counselors. Til I was either serious injured or, they had a first hand experience with them attacking me or being just completely insane(no way to calm them down or deal with them). I never laid my hands on a women, only blocked or held her wrist while she tried striking me. Ppl don't realize all around the world men have to deal with this and are expected to shut up and take it.
I really enjoy you videos as an American born Chinese ! They are insightful and informative. You handled the on looker like a true gentleman. Stay Awesome!
I guess on of the golden rules of living in a foreign country is there are always certain groups of people you don't want to mess around. Apparently, in China, they include girls and dodgy massage.
Girls in China know if they are dating foreign men then Chinese men are missing out. So maybe they expect some allegiance from the foreigner. Also that guy was stupid to hit that girl. She thrashed his place and he should have called it the cost of cheating on her and call it a day.
If the guy hit a girl in America, the case may be even worse. Money wouldn't be able to solve the situation.
she bit off flesh from her arm.. if he hit her it may have been involuntary reflex
Winston's unexpected groupie certainly made the video that much better! STAY AWESOME!
I really like the way you deal with intruders... brings a smile to my face every time, as I watch more and more "wideos" ;)
Dude you are awesome! Love the videos, keep up the great work.
Hi serpentza/Winston, I'm a recent subscriber to your channel and I've been watching your videos for the last few days after I've stumbled across your channel. I find it very heart-warming after finding out that you are a South African living in China because I am a Chinese living in South Africa. I hope I get to meet you one day and chat about our respective experiences in each other's countries.
Awesome! Glad you enjoy the videos and hope that you stay safe in SA
Was that guy a Chinese Government agent spying on you? LOL
Alternate title: Are Chinese men easy?
hahaha
All men are easy
Skorpi00007, gay men are very picky
Z C not Chinese ones apparently
That is not true, i know a few gay guys and all of them are everythng but certainly NOT picky.
So, would any of you "normal" people out there, walk up and sit next to a Chinese guy shooting a video in your country? Wouldn't it automatically be kind of rude to involve yourself in someone else's photo or video? How odd.
Can you get arrested so we can see the inside of a Chinese prison? LOL Just kidding Winston! Enjoying all your videos brother!
Listen, all foreigners. Chinese people treat LOVE and FAMILY very seriously. It is not like the western way of dealing with love. For us Chinese, adultery is absolutely unacceptable for both man or woman hence in some areas like Taiwan the adultery is illegal still. Sometimes women may have inordinate actions but it is a signal shows that she cares about you deeply instead of hating you.
Love and marriage are heavy. They mean a lot even everything for the Chinese. Once the realtionship is established, be responsible for everything. If you have made any mistake, any rational explanation won't work. So be careful.
Thanks for commenting in a civilised way, I just wanted to ask, i have heard that Chinese men who have wives, do use prostitutes a lot, and it isnt uncommon. To what extent is that true?
Adultery by men is very common throughout the world in general, so i cant imagine China being any different. Is it?
so many Chinese cheat on their spouses , specially on Chinese valentine day . have you ever heard of er nai or xiao san?
No, what does that mean ?
thats BS. look at the massage polars, salons with happy endings. thats a total double standard. there are plenty people stepping out if not more in china. sell your confucin hypocrecy somewhere else.
All holy shits above. I am talking about culture instead of current situation. Your western mentality can't understand deep Chinese culture.
bro how you invited that guy at the end of your video to be in the shot was a crack up bro!!! LMFAOOO!!!
Know well Sir that you are a great person. I deeply feel your awareness and wisdom. We need a lot of people like you. Please be safe and well, you are loved.
the moral of this story seems to be that if you're dating a Chinese girl and the shit hits the fan, then you'd be better off not just stopping at a black eye!
thats wrong but lol
Giving a black eye is very amateurish, choking out the aggressor is often a very good choice, and there are many other ways also to hurt someone bad without leaving any marks.

Excellent advice - "do not date Chinese girls because you'll end up being a murderer."
What a delightful country.
I kinda agree...as a foreigner, you should date a Chinese girl ONLY IF you are serious about it. Chinese girls simply take themselves too seriously and they are very jealous and very demanding as well.
I hear that Hunan province has graffitti all over the walls of their towns that advertise hitmen.
Honestly, there is something weird with the first story. While I agree with that the girl has the better home base, I usually find that the average Chinese has a very strong sense of 'fairness'. Of course she and the police think it is fair that he pays compensation. But if he and she agreed in front of the police (did they do that?) to a certain sum, then actually I would expect the police to side with him now.
0:08 14 years ago, the nostalgia of Serpentza in China. 19:57 The end of Serpentza nostalgia in China.
Winston is right. Casual relationships with local women are not the way to go in China. They're also not recommended with if you intend on dating a Chinese girl overseas. I'm living in Australia now, I interact with people of all races and religions, and I've taught at schools where students come from a variety of backgrounds.
I get teased a lot for being single for so long but I don't see anything negative about it. I'm not a ladies' man, in fact I'm far from it. I have no charm. Maybe occasionally, a Chinese girl or two get(s) interested in my upbringing, family background and what not. As long as the questions aren't too personal, I answer them to the best of my knowledge. Now that I've watched two of Winston's videos that talked about the things to note when dating Chinese women, I believe the usual questions I get from Chinese girls could be alarm bells.
If they stole my passport I'd go to the U.S. Embassy immediately. He should go to his home embassy.
vanscoyoc the embassy won't help you if you broke the law
@@tryingmybest206 foreigners hav no hope against the local asians even if the white guy are in the right!!!
@@tryingmybest206 They do to a certain Extend. At least in my Country (Germany). I watched a Report in the News just recently about German Citizens who are in Jail for various Crimes in Thailand. The Honorary Consul deals with that. Your Embassy should always be the first Stop if you got some serious Trouble. They getting payed for Stuff like that.
John was awesome, you should get him into more of your videos :)) haha!
Your videos have been entertaining me for the past 2 hours and that is a huge feat in itself. You've got a new sub!
+Spenser Snyder thanks mate!
Awww the way he looked at you. So intently lol mesmerized
50-60 people hitting and kicking you, and you survived? They must have the power of mosquitoes
Well they are chinese
Hahaha and they want to fight us india all the way 😂😂
They gave him rough massage
S O Y N A T I O N
I mean this in the nicest way possible but most Chinese people aren't known for being... physically formidable.
I couldnt stop laughing at how the guy was just staring at you with amazement.
I loved the 5 second pause at the end🤣
“Would you like to say anything in closing…?
“Uhhhm. ( 5 sec hard reflection….) - No -“
It just looked like this was a man with lots and lots of heavy things on his mind, who had lots of things to say, but who decided it was in everyone’s best interest not to speak up.😂👍
Serpentza I give you props. That kid at the end would of killed my concentration. You sure are a pro and a gentleman
Legit question.
What if he tried to get compensation from her for the bite she took out of his arm?
He'd probably be laughed at and dismissed. I think the point of his video is that the Chinese police and legal system are highly likely to side against the foreigner and would rarely go out of their way to help the foreigner in a situation like this.
I can't stop laughing at your unexpected co-host
He listens sooo patiently
Hey Winston, I'm off to Shenyang next month. Your videos have been invaluable for necessary insight. I understand that these are your unique experiences and views, but they certainly help!
im sure im not the only one who likes watching the intro's more than once haha. Still I think it would help if you/she said welcome to another " Serpentza video " or Wintston or.....such .
People of China should watch, listen and try to understand Serpentza more, because they always want to assume he is judging Chinese people badly, when it is quite the opposite. Accusing someone for judging when they are doing the judging themselves; isn't that funny. They should watch this and some other videos and maybe they would understand his point of view, his experiences in China etc. What he explains in this video about those other peoples experiences and his own experiences is horrible; and there are much more. But some might say "but how do you know of it is true?" blah blah blah excuses excuses. Judge for yourselves. I know there are lots of people who have similar bad experiences, and I have MANY also!
Yes he says about many bad things because... IT IS what has happened to him and to people he knows; or can see with his own eyes !!
Keep up the good work and keep giving us your experiences, tips and advice :D
........ But people hate the truth right.
dodgy happy ending massage. you make me laugh,man
Takes a lot of Grit to do what your doing Mate keep up the Awesome Videos
My new favourite youtuber, I don't agree on many things you say but it's your opinion and I respect that. I can listen and watch your videos all day. love the way you talk and explain things so professional. Bright future ahead of you. All the best.
+ucef als thanks mate
