Reporting on foreign issues helps to distract from domestic issues. It allows an American to say, well look at starving kids in Africa when someone brings up the homeless problem or how wages and cost of living are not matching up. - UP: 10

Most foreign countries tend to cover domestic issues most of the time. However, they tend to cover the US during US elections.
Regarding the chinese-US media dynamic, the US media covers china, which is mostly in a negative way, a lot more than the other way around. Chinese media on the other hand hardly covers the US except during elections. They mostly cover domestic issues.
The Chinese media does cover US elections like most of the world so most chinese people would know who the US president is, even old folks. - UP:
很多外国在大部分时间都倾向于报道国内问题。不过,在美国大选期间,他们往往会报道美国。
关于中美媒体的动态,美国媒体对中国的报道大多是负面的,比反过来要多得多。另一方面,除了选举期间,中国媒体几乎不报道美国。他们主要报道国内问题。
和世界上大多数国家一样,中国媒体也会报道美国大选,所以大多数中国人都知道谁是美国总统,即使是老人也知道。

Every US citizens be like “China is a threat”, do they even realize the US had been like a hyena stirring and bullying around the world since the day it was founded? And I’m not even talking about the obvious stuff like slavery and setting up military bases everywhere, do you think Americans talk enough about the foundation of American was built on Opium money from China? Where did the money came from for the founding families like Perkins and Forbes to have built all those railroads, hospitals, universities etc? Why do Americans scrutinize Columbus et al for the mistreatment of indigenous people and their land yet almost no one talked about FDR’s grandfather was a major Opium trader in China? - UP: 2

As an Aussie that has traveled to both the US and China for work previously I have to say I agree with many of their points. Obviously this doesn't apply to all cities in America but when I was in the states I encountered insane levels of homelessness and drug abuse. It was mind boggling to me. When I was in San Francisco the locals were telling me that people literally leave their cars unlocked so thieves won't smash their car windows. On the flip side, not once did I feel unsafe in China even walking around at 2 or 3 in the morning. - UP: 469
作为一个曾经到美国和中国工作过的澳大利亚人,我不得不说我同意他们的许多观点。显然,这并不适用于美国的所有城市,但当我在美国时,我遇到了严重的流浪汉和吸毒现象。这让我匪夷所思。我在旧金山时,当地人告诉我,人们不锁车,这样小偷就不会砸碎他们的车窗。相反,在中国,我没有一次感到不安全,哪怕是凌晨两三点在街上走。

In Usa there is a serious crime problem and you do not feel safe on the streets.

在美国,存在严重的犯罪问题,你在街上没有安全感。
在中国(到处都有摄像头),即使你和你家人一起走在街上都会有安全感。

I looked at the comments section, and I think it would be great if most people in the world had similar ideas to the comments section here.
In my opinion, there are obvious development differences between Eastern and Western civilizations. Western civilization was largely developed based on pirate civilization, so their idea is that once they become strong, they will plunder. Western civilization is also an extroverted civilization, so Westerners don't like to be restricted, which is the origin of the so-called freedom.
The rise of Eastern civilization, especially Chinese civilization, is basically based on agricultural civilization, so the Chinese idea is to grow their own fields well, get a good harvest, be self-sufficient, and live a good life. So Eastern civilization has become an introverted civilization. They only need to take care of themselves and don't care much about what happens outside. So, in their view, the so-called freedom in the West has little to do with them. So, in essence, the focus of these two issues is different.
Then why is the so-called freedom now so important? This is because the West has controlled the world for one or two hundred years, and they have spread their way of thinking to the world, which has become the so-called universal value. However, due to the influence of civilization, China has never been changed by this Western value system. So, when China becomes strong, these two values will collide. Since Western governments consider China with Western values, they think that China cannot become strong for their own benefit, so they use their widely spread Western values to criticize China, which has led to misunderstandings of China among people in many countries over the past few decades.
One of the main reasons why China has not been conquered by Western values is that how can a civilization with thousands of years of history be simply overthrown by a civilization with only a few hundred years of history? - UP: 32
我看了一下评论区,我觉得如果世界上大多数人都与这里的评论区有相似的想法,那就太好了。
我认为,东西方文明在发展上存在明显差异。西方文明很大程度上是在海盗文明的基础上发展起来的,所以他们的观念是一旦强大了,就会掠夺。西方文明也是一种外向型文明,所以西方人不喜欢被限制,这也是所谓自由的由来。
东方文明的崛起,尤其是中华文明的崛起,基本上是以农业文明为基础的,所以中国人的想法就是把自己的田种好,获得好收成,自给自足,过上好日子。所以东方文明成了一种内敛的文明。他们只需要照顾好自己,而不太关心外面发生了什么。因此,在他们看来,西方所谓的自由与他们并无多大关系。因此,从本质上讲,这两个问题的侧重点是不同的。
那为什么现在所谓的自由这么重要呢?这是因为西方控制了世界一二百年,他们把自己的思维方式传播到全世界,成为所谓的普世价值。但是,由于文明的影响,中国从来没有被西方的这种价值体系改变过。因此,当中国强大起来的时候,这两种价值观就会发生碰撞。由于西方政府用西方的价值观来看待中国,他们认为中国不能为了他们自己的利益而强大起来,所以他们就用他们广泛传播的西方价值观来批判中国,这就造成了过去几十年来许多国家的人民对中国的误解。
中国没有被西方价值观征服的一个重要原因是,一个有着几千年历史的文明,怎么可能被一个只有几百年历史的文明简单地推翻呢?

Chinese education might be quite stressful for young people, but at least it actually teaches them how to think critically.

Hi I've been to China on a teacher exchange programme. I would not say that this interview is not 100% random and no cherry picking. But the people I met during my trip were very similar to the interviewees. Intelligent, thoughtful, exhibited critical thinking and will look at different sources. Whether the teachers we met or the people we met during our tour. I believe there will always be exceptions but by and large, the Chinese people are very rational. - UP: 112
嗨,我参加过一个教师交流项目,去过中国。我不敢说这次采访不是 100% 的随机采访,没有精心挑选。但我在旅途中遇到的人与受访者非常相似。他们聪明、有思想,表现出批判性思维,会从不同的渠道了解情况。无论是我们遇到的老师,还是我们在旅行中遇到的人。我相信总会有例外,但基本来说,中国人是非常理性的。

Because Chinese people will start to learn Marx's dialectical materialism thinking mode from primary school, Chinese will always think from both positive and negative aspects when looking at problems. I wonder if there is such an education in America? - UP: 11

China is the best country for me and Chinese people are very friendly I have been in Asia and got around about six countries in Asia the last stop is China 🇨🇳 everything looks good people look happy, I seen old people dancing in the park me and my friend walks around town to the night time and walks back to hotel one o’clock in the morning it’s very safe .this is first time in my life I can walked around everywhere all day all night without screaming thanks China and Chinese peoples for makes my eyes opened - UP: 15
中国对我来说是最好的国家,中国人民非常友好。我去过亚洲,走遍了亚洲的六个国家,最后一站是中国🇨🇳,一切看起来都很好,人们看起来很高兴,我看到老人在公园里跳舞,我和我的朋友在城里散步到晚上,然后在凌晨一点钟走回酒店,非常安全。这是我有生以来第一次可以整天整夜在各个地方散步而不用担心,感谢中国和中国人民让我大开眼界。

LOVE THIS! So nice to see regular people from China...and I think the people from both US and China have a lot in common. It is the governments, business interests and power brokers who are competing against each other, while us normal citizens just want to live and enjoy life. - UP: 1
喜欢这个视频!很高兴看到来自中国的普通人... 我认为中美两国人民有很多共同点。是政府、商业利益和权力掮客在相互竞争,而我们普通公民只想生活和享受生活。
@LotusBloom0309
As an American, this is why Asian Boss is the only news I actually seek out anymore. I could never see a respectful, thoughtful interview of regular Chinese citizens through any main stream media here. And ai have to say, I agree with much of what they say. The commercialization of the news media in the US is a form of information control and censorship. - UP: 122
作为一个美国人,这就是为什么该频道是我现在唯一真正关注的新闻来源。我从未在任何主流媒体上看到过对普通中国公民的尊重和深思熟虑的采访。不得不说,我同意他们所说的大部分内容。美国新闻媒体的商业化是一种信息控制和审查。
@AvoidTheCadaver
As a starting rule of thumb I'm more inclined to look at non domestic sources when looking at what's being reported about any given country. That's not to say what they'd say is more or less true but it wouldn't be a big stretch to think that non domestic media are less invested when reporting about another country. - UP: 6
作为一个基本的经验法则,我更倾向于从非国内来源了解有关任何国家的报道。这并不是说他们所说的内容或多或少是真的,但认为非本国媒体在报道其他国家时投入的资源较少,也是很合理的。

我们希望中国人能真正珍惜自己的国家、价值观、基础设施、稳定、安全等等,而这些在美国以自由和民主的名义都不存在。别人家的草总是绿色的,遗憾的是,美国的草已经变成了棕色和黑色。
@D_JIM99
All in all proper interview and all had answers were backed up with logic and reason.
Some take aways based on the street interviews:
1. China doesn't do anti-US propaganda feeding their citizens negative and or fake news.
2. Chinese are very mature in their way thinking and their way of expressing their thoughts, even kids are saying things that western adults can learn from.
3. They very well understand ultimate freedom of act and speech has certain level of restriction in any part of the world.
4. In general Chinese don't preach/spread hate.
5. All interviewed people had their own perspective and view on the topic about Tiktok vs Douyin, and the most funny part was: in the US young people watch nonsense/dum stuff and in China educational stuff
Last but not least perhaps not all citizens know that western social tech companies like Meta, Google, Snap, X didn't choose to settle in China due to gov. rules requiring them to not send data and store in the US or outside of China. Same like Tik tok in the US all servers and data must be stored locally, which Tiktok/Bytedance did and follow. Apple for example did follow rules in China and there for example Apple Maps works fine. - UP: 88
总得来说,这次采访很恰当,所有的回答都有逻辑和理由支持。
根据这次街头采访得到的一些结论:
1.中国不做反美宣传,也不向民众灌输负面或假新闻。
2.中国人的思维方式和表达思想的方式都非常成熟,即使是孩子们说的话也值得西方成年人学习。
3.他们非常清楚,在世界任何地方,行为和言论自由最终都会受到一定程度的限制。
4.一般来说,中国人不宣扬/散布仇恨。
5.所有受访者都对Tiktok的话题有自己的观点和看法,最有趣的是:在美国,年轻人看的是无厘头的东西,而在中国,他们看的是有教育意义的东西。
最后但同样重要的是,也许并非所有公民都知道 Meta、谷歌、Snap、X 等西方社交科技公司之所以没有选择落户中国,是因为政府规定它们不得在美国或中国境外发送数据和存储数据。就像 Tiktok 在美国,所有服务器和数据都必须存储在本地,Tiktok/Bytedance 也是这么做的。例如,苹果公司在中国确实遵守了相关规定,而且苹果地图在中国很好用。

Pretty insightful. The long haired fella with beard and glasses was very diplomatic. The youngest boy at the end was certainty repeating what he was taught. You can tell that most people could still communicate whatever they wanted to, but were more careful how they phrased it. Great video. - UP:
很有见地。那个留着胡子、戴着眼镜的长发小伙子很有外交才干。最后那个年纪最小的男孩肯定是在重复他所学的东西。你可以看出,大多数人仍然可以表达他们想说的任何东西,只是在措辞上更加谨慎。很棒的视频。

This is the kind of thing needed to help increase understanding across cultures. The interviewees are mostly well spoken and informed.
If China is so closed off, then why do they know more about the US than those in the US know about China?
