Welcome to another video
So this video is about five things Chinese people can't stand about foreigners
Hey China, it's time for us to talk about the five things Chinese people hate the most about foreigners. Now
It's been a week since my last video
I got a lot of good feedback from my Chinese subscribers and of course Chinese viewers
So I've compiled a list and we're going to go through them
not in any particular order however
We are going to speak about the most common one the most common comment first and that is that foreigners are
Arrogant and have a superiority complex
Now by arrogance and superior what they mean is that Westerners like to impose their morals their way of thinking and their point of view
onto other people other countries and other societies and
You know you have this very sort of well-meaning
International community is basically made up of them at the sort of mainstream mass media
Are usually coming out of the US the UK and Europe and?
They like to put forward these sort of popular images of what's going on in different countries and of course
It doesn't always reflect. What's actually happening on the ground and it can be quite
Infuriating and quite insulting if you're seeing things in the news
Describing you as a country, or as a people as being X Y and Zed
When that's not actually the case and I can speak from absolute experience here, you know being South African
You know the kind of nonsense that when I was growing up people were saying about us, white South Africans is
Appalling you know. If you grew up outside of South Africa you probably think all white South Africans are sort of racist
Privileged people who took advantage of the local population in order to live a wealthy
Fantastic life with a silver spoon in your mouth, but you know that's absolute nonsense it is mendacious you know
It's the furthest thing from the truth and a lot of that can be reflected in what that about China number two
cultural ignorance
Okay, I've got to admit that when I first came to China. I was guilty of this myself
Although I do try to be polite, you know I'll be completely honest. I didn't do my due diligence, and I didn't really look into
The Chinese culture that much and this is the thing you know it's easy to judge another culture and other people
But you first at least have to try to understand the culture and so what happens is you'll get
situations with just very basic things
which could be avoided misunderstandings and
Rude comments or rude behavior perceived rude behavior happens just because of a misunderstanding of the culture
I mean things like you should take your shoes off before you walk into a Chinese person's house. You know this is something
I didn't know
You know and you come here you get invited to someone's house you walk in and you basically walk in with your shoes on
That's a big no-no
Things like asking stupid questions like you know do you have?
Air conditioning in your home in China of course they do if they live in the city
You know it's all good all the modern amenities
Hey, how's it going? I've just spotted a subscriber
Hey
How you doing great? How are you very good? Thanks? What a beautiful park. It's really cool. Yeah, wonderful brand-new
I guess yeah, it is it's about a year old
Yeah, yeah, I'm just making a video about you know the five things Chinese people dislike about foreigners
Ah okay
Don't tell me your number one?
Yeah pretty much
Number three is that
foreigners are
Sexually promiscuous and play around and are too open
I hear this a lot about foreigners being too open of course a lot of this is based on the fact that
The only exposure to the west that a lot of Chinese people have had are through American TV shows like Sex in the City
friends
Two Broke Girls, it's one of their favorites for some reason you know these kind of
American TV shows which do portray foreigners as being these sort of very loose and
Open individuals and of course not all foreigners are like that
But it's difficult for people that are in the close of society like China to actually understand
Don't forget that there's still a lot of control over the media here things like pornography are completely banned anything
That's seen as a lewd or crude. It's cut out of the TV
Obviously the Internet's completely blocked off so you know when they see these TV shows of course
They get this idea that foreigners are incredibly lewd and rude and open
now
Whether that being true or not because of course it is for some people
Sex education really is an issue in China. It is a problem there isn't much
sex education here in fact
I think they do have sex education but only in like college so by the time people are in their 20s
They first learning about sex of course by then I think they've probably figured it out by themselves anyway
but the thing is there is a lot of taboo around sex and so of course it's not the same for Westerners and
Because we're a bit more open about this. We're seen as some kind of
Sexually promiscuous sex fiends or something like that. I feel really awkward talking about this when there's all these children around
So let's move on to number four
number 4 is bad budgeting and
Very poor concept of managing money, and I'm actually going to agree 100% with this
Hello
Yes, I'm going to agree with this because it's true most Chinese people that I know are very good at saving money
They always seem to have money available
for when they want to buy something you know even if they're
What are you saying that sounds pretty bad
Yeah, what are you saying?
Okay, yeah
Mesa Mesa yeah, okay, so anyway um-hmm
When it comes to money I was surprised when I first got here that even you're sort of very low income earners
Always seem to have money in the bank, and I mean not just a small amount of money
But a reasonable amounts of money a reasonable sum so
This has always been sort of a cultural thing that I have appreciated about China, and I still continue to appreciate
Unfortunately these days you're starting to see people make a lot of mistakes
wasting their money on things like bad investments like the stock market or
Wasting their money on you know sort of frivolous peer-to-peer lending schemes and things like that which sucks
I hate to see that and the rise of credit is really kind of
Doing away with this really really sort of cool money management thing that I've noticed from the beginning here
However, I could still say that buying in large Chinese people are very good with money
Maybe a bit too good. Maybe a bit too sort of a penny pincher if you know what I mean
Number five is drug use and drug
Culture had a couple of comments about this one now
Drug taking is a lot more accepted in the West you'll have sort of a-list celebrities who go to rehab and have
Drug addiction problems and things and people still love the celebrities
You know and just kind of say are they're struggling, and they're they're going through this this parrot
And then you know they bounce back etc, but here if a Chinese
Star has any kind of a drug issue even if they're
suspected of taking drugs of any kind their careers are over and
permanently
there's huge Hang Ups when it comes to drugs here in China and
Of course then as a result Chinese people see the sort of casual
Smoking of marijuana that a lot of Americans or Canadians, and you know people in the West
do and the casual sort of
Acceptance of drug use as being a big issue and one of the things that really hate about foreigners
So that brings us to the end of the list of course these are the five most common things that Chinese people
Can't stand about foreigners, but there are plenty more just as there are plenty more things foreigners
Can't stand about Chinese people
But I do hope that we can find some kind of an understanding between
You know both the west and the east here meet somewhere in the middle and basically realize that at the end of the day
We're all human beings
And we're all just trying to get along in this crazy crazy world
Now that being said I would like to quickly tell you about something
