我已经去过中国四次，知道这一点。然而，我的大多数同事、邻居和朋友（在美国）都不相信我说中国是一个值得一游的好地方。他们认为我的照片和视频只是“中国人想让我看的东西”。我一直告诉他们我可以自由地在这些地区散步，没有人陪同，但这并不重要。
当我说中国总体上拥有比美国现在更干净的街道和公共公园时，他们进一步拒绝相信我。突然间……我发现自己被“中国专家”包围，他们发表无知的言论，例如“中国人都在挨饿，生活在破旧肮脏的城市里”。我经常听到的另一句无知的话是“最贫穷的美国人比普通中国人生活得更好”。他们这么说，但从未去过中国一次。
感谢像您这样的人发布这些视频，试图平衡新闻媒体每天向西方人民灌输的所有不平衡的负面宣传。

作为中国人，我们从不在社交媒体上吹嘘我们的生活有多便捷、多舒适。我们五千年的文化一直教导我们要勤劳、善良、和谐、负责任和孝顺。我们爱我们的邻居、朋友、小家庭，也爱我们的大家庭（国家）。这种文化让我们可以无视别人的抹黑，除了日本。中国有各种美味的食物，美丽的风景，深厚的文化底蕴。我们欢迎大家来中国旅游，了解中国。社交媒体上的虚假新闻让很多没来过中国的外国人产生了深深的偏见。我们不期望每个人都了解中国，但我们希望你们来中国旅游后，能更多地了解我们的历史和文化。然后你就会明白为什么中国取得了如此巨大的发展和进步。我们欢迎你们给我们提出更多理性和批判性的建议，因为中国不是一个完美的国家，有它的缺点。也许从你的角度，你能发现我们更多的缺点，我们的政府也会逐渐改善，继续提高人民的生活质量。谢谢！

不要介意地铁里穿制服的工作人员；他们在那里是为了帮助乘客。如果你注意到旁边有人用手机大声播放音乐或视频，而你又不想直接提醒他们，你可以向工作人员示意。他们会礼貌但坚决地制止对方的无礼行为。如果地铁里发生争吵甚至打架（虽然这种情况非常罕见），工作人员会及时介入。过去，在地铁里乞讨的人很常见（他们也可能趁机偷看你的口袋）。这是一个很难控制的现象，但现在地铁里根本看不到乞丐。相信我，在乞讨盛行的时代，许多乞丐靠乞讨可以买得起2-3套房子。

I've been to China four times already and knew this. Yet, most of my co-workers, neighbors, and friends (in the USA) don't believe me that China is a great place to visit. They think my photos and videos are only of "what the Chinese want me to see". Does not matter that I keep telling them I was free to walk around these areas, unescorted.
They further refuse to believe me when I say China overall has cleaner looking streets and public parks than what we currently have in America. All of a sudden... I find myself surrounded by "China experts" who make ignorant statements like "the Chinese are all starving and live in old run down deteriorating dirty looking cities". The other ignorant thing I often hear is "The poorest Americans live better than the average Chinese". They say this and yet has never visited China once.
Thanks to folks like you who post these videos to try and balance out all of the lop sided negative propaganda fed to people in the West by the news media on a daily basis.

As Chinese people, we never boast about how convenient and comfortable our lives are on social media. Our 5000-year-old culture has always taught us to be diligent, kind, harmonious, responsible, and filial. We love our neighbors, friends, small families, and our large family (the country). This culture allows us to disregard others' smears, except for Japan. China has a variety of delicious foods, beautiful scenery, and profound cultural heritage. We welcome everyone to visit China and learn about it. The fake news on social media has created deep prejudice among many foreigners who have never been to China. We don’t expect everyone to understand China, but we hope that after visiting, you can learn more about our history and culture. Then you will understand why China has achieved such tremendous development and progress. We welcome you to give us more rational and critical suggestions, as China is not a perfect country and has its shortcomings. Perhaps from your perspective, you can identify more of our shortcomings, and our government will gradually improve and continue to enhance the quality of life for our people. Thank you!

Do not mind the staff in uniform in the subway; they are there to help passengers. If you notice someone next to you playing music or videos loudly on their phone, and you feel uncomfortable directly reminding them, you can signal the staff. They will politely but firmly stop the person's inconsiderate behavior. If there is a quarrel or even a fight in the subway (though this is very rare), the staff will promptly intervene. In the past, it was common to see people begging in the subway (who might also take the opportunity to watch your pockets). This was a difficult phenomenon to control, but now you won't see beggars in the subway at all. Believe me, during the era when begging was prevalent, many beggars could afford to buy 2-3 apartments through their begging.

In New York City, we are installing MORE cameras because of the rampant crime rates, no one blinks an eye about it. We don’t need to be overly sensitive to the cameras in China, we really are NOT that important for anyone looking at us. Don’t forget, there are over 1.4 billion people, who has the time to watch over everyone. Replaying footage after a crime has been committed is helpful, no different from what we do in the
