    Those who accuse you of ' getting paid ' are actually the ones who are ' taking money '.

    I live in the US and never been to mainland China but I have been to Hong Kong. I started learning about China in early 2020 due to the pandemic and I've found it to be the most amazing and wonderful country in the world and a huge reason is due to it's culture! Happy you mentioned it too Rafael. Now after 3 years following China, I'm beginning to see why Marco Polo called China "Heaven on Earth." It truly is just that and one major reason is how the government takes care of it's people, particularly it's elderly.

    We can see the genuine happiness on Rafa's face when he talks about the reasons he lives in China. Excellent job Rafa!

    I lived i Beijing from 2011 - 2019, so it's 8 years too. I have made some good friends, and I plan to go there again, hopefully this year, to meet up and enjoy the food and the company of friends. I have visited over 40 venues in China during the time, and I plan to revisit some of those places again. I miss China. ☺

    The quality of the video is always of the highest level, the picture is clear, the colors are vivid and rich, which is pleasing to the eye, and it is indeed amazing how much China has changed in the past forty years.🙂
  • @kbunny666
    Living in China is the best experience. The best country and the Best people. I really look forward staying here for many more years. 🎉❤
  • China is about the same size as the whole of Europe, imagine a central government that can manage the whole of Europe, from economic development to public security, This is a miracle.
  • Wish I was you...to me China is so wonderful and the people all so normal...
  • China is a safest country to live in, yes that is quite true . In China , no gun violence, no any violence. Chinese dislike "confrontation and conflict" with others.
  • I have been in China for four times already, and I felt the same as you my friend. I hope be able to living in China in the near future. Greetings from Brazil. 😊
  • @pbworld7858
    Rafa, ignore those jealous people. You're doing great. And UK is the CCTV capital of the world. I don't see anyone criticizing UK, even with all the crimes.
  • Most people in the world would like to live in a safe place free from violent crimes, enjoy prosperity and stability, clean environment, good infrastructures, friendly people, modern conveniences, etc, etc I think China scores high in all these categories. Few countries come close.
  • @locksun123
    Great commentaries. Appreciate you sharing the truth about China! I’m American and have lived in China for 17 years. So sad to see the rest of the world be so ignorant about China but hopefully more people get to experience it the way you have.
  • @shutup51916
    Young people should definitely go there. So much potential. I'm so jealous of you.
  • @Tewbum
    I agree 100%, I too am a foreigner living in China and wouldn't have it any other way been here 7 years with my Chinese Wife and live in Qingyuan, not too far away from you, the people of China are the most beautiful people in the world and extremely welcoming
  • @Leon_BLP
    Hope you all the best in China! I miss that place as well! Keep the great work👍
  • China subway area is so clean and modern compared to ours here in the US . Make me realized how outdated our infrastructure is 🤔🤔 our cities and subway are starting to look like (Gathum City) on the movie Batman....

    China is the future, and no one on the planet is going to change that. Congratulations to you Rafa for taking your life into your own hands, and deciding to move here. You made the right choice for this century. Outside of China, things look worse than ever, in absolutely every way. You probably hear from your relatives and friends back home about prices, politics, infrastructure, etc. and how absolutely nothing seems to be changing. I live in Romania, an Eastern European country, I'm 23 years old, I'm doing my master's degree in environmental engineering. I hope that one day I can live in China, but that's just a dream of mine.. Enjoy your time there, tens of thousands of people would like to be there, in your place, in your position.. :D
  • @stanbimi
    Quite sure that another excellent reason for you to enjoy living in China is having your family there. The kids in China grow up in a very safe place. Education is taken seriously by everybody, and kids grow up in a forward looking country full of dreams and aspirations, yet steeped in rich history. I love that you have artistic eyes to frame the scenery which is quite different from other expats. While I also enjoy the political views of other expats like Lee and Jason, you just stay in the lane you are most comfortable with. To those haters who always dwell on negativity, they create their own misery. As the Buddha taught: mind consciousness is the most important driver of people's lives. Be kind and be positive.
