In a recent video on Twitter, he compared the China of today to 2019 and was completely shocked at the speed to progress and change. Says it’s like stepping into the future.

1 - Automation: From trains to taxis to purchases - everything is done seamlessly with super Apple Pay.

2 - EV: 30%-40% of the cars are fully electric. You can get Teslas but you have Chinese brands that offer sedans for $10k.

3 - The air is much cleaner. Partly due to EVs.

4 - People are more respectful of societal norms. There is better service everywhere you go.

5 - Less foreigners, even in touristy areas. Most white people are actually Russian.

6 - In factories, robots do the work in contrast to the perception people have in the US of China just throwing cheap labor at every problem. Factories set up their own e-commerce platforms and sell directly on China’s TikTok.

7 - It feels like over the past 5 years, everything by in China just got better, while everything in the US just got worse.

Can we get a link to the vid =? papyrus-side-eye

I mean, I can if you really want. But I don't think he's a good guy lol. Plus it's over 11 mins long. Also, how he stated Point 4 is very different from how I framed it above.

Edit - Here's the vid, but not on the OG channel so he doesn't get the Twitter revenue.

CW - Racism

He framed it as China becoming more "civilized" where people no longer piss on the street or spit at your feet, and public washrooms have toilet paper (his excuse for why he used to shit his pants all the time). Later on, he said today it's like a Japanified version of China, referring to the people. He was also rude/negative to the couple of Chinese people who tried to talk to him while filming and framed them as scammers.

I feel like after the first time I would just start bringing my own roll

[–] [email protected] 35 points 7 months ago

Ikr? And/or just doing a game theory and shitting in the toilet anyways, since it's better to have less shit than more shit in your pants. Fulfilling the stupid American stereotype by walking around with shit in his pants and still daring to call the people subjected to the smell "uncivilized".

[–] [email protected] 18 points 7 months ago

Yeah, like most women in the west have had to do always, because public toilets are always out of paper.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 7 months ago

Wtf literally just wash your ass with water and soap.

I can't tell how advanced China is because the West is so backwards.

What a disgusting epitome of western chauvinism this was. He has been going there for 10 years, but it was total shit, so why did he keep going back.

Love how people have spat on his feet there, pretty sure the reason for that can be found in the mirror and not in the people that have had to deal with this asshat.

Sex tourist for sure.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 7 months ago

He looks like a sex pest omg. He has to catch his breath with every sentence and I don't like the camera being so close to his face.

Below average white western men in China must be purged.
