Do me a favor, and when you go to LA, do not go to Hollywood at night. It's full of bums, addicts, and prostitutes. There are of course nice areas of LA, but you still have to go through the crap areas to get to the nice ones. That's the reality of LA
+Sarah Wheelee The guns are completely banned in China for civilian use. In that regard, it is kind of safer. Los Angeles shouldn't be that bad, I thought that's where Hollywood is at. I guess it all depends on the neighborhood.
+Person514cs Eh. it's still safer than Los Angeles. I'm always careful, but by in large China is really safe.
Let's Talk Chinese Travel Warnings | #LifeInHongKong
HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR! Want to know some things the Chinese government has warned their citizens of when traveling to the USA? While some of these ...
+Alexiss Corina Thanks so much! Actually, I have not seen anyone yell at another person for cutting in line. Everyone, for the most part, just accepts it over there. It's really weird and something that takes getting used to!
It's actually on my list of places to travel! I have a few friends who have been there before and they tell me it has a similar feel to the island villages which I LOVE! Thanks for the suggestion! :)
Oh nice! good to hear that you like it there :) btw I highly recommend you to go to a place called sai kung, its very nice there! (sorry if you have already been there, I am your new subscriber lol)
+Hok Man Herman Chu Haha Thanks! :) I'm going to be staying here at least another year in a half. I've been living here for over six months and absolutely love it here!!!
+Thom Andrews Thanks so much! Haha Yup, gotta keep those crazy regulations in mind haha Are there any other personal ones that you would add to that list?
+Incredible World Thanks so much girl! ♥ Just checked out your channel and subbed. :)
Taking Your Kids to China: Advice for Parents - Visit China
Thinking of visiting China with your family? Here are some travel tips & motherly advice for parents heading to China with kids. From dealing with the smog, ...
你说的有道理,我补充一下,你知道我们有13亿人,喜欢白人小孩的只是一小部分人,不是所有人。 You're right, I should add, you know we have 1.3 billion people, like white kids only a small number of people, not all.
+woltersworld hi mark I was wondering in China do the banknotes have anything for blind people to able to tell the differents between them I know in Canada they are brightly coloured and have the dots like Braille Thanks SkipPs have you been to Singapore before...?
I'm Chinese American and went to China in 2010. I also got stared at lot
and had my fair share of squat toilet use. Public restrooms were dirty:
urine all over the floor and they don't provide toilet paper most of the
time. The hotel beds were harder than concrete. Other than that, good
experience. I can't imagine living there though.
The little one will try to take off his shoe to get it out so we have to distract him for a bit then he forgets its there :)
China scam warning - Report from a Video production company
A current scam originating from China lurs companies with big contracts to travel to China to sign the deal. This is a persona report from a video production ...
Thanks for posting this. I am sorry that this cost you but that you were
smart enough to figure out the scam before you spent too much money.
I am a professional artist and I received a similar sort of request from a
company called Xi'an Ruian Trade Co., Ltd . They wanted to buy a huge
quantity of canvas prints of a number of my paintings - worth around US$1
million in total. All sounded very professional and like you, I was invited
to China (Xi'an) to meet the general manager.
However, the big issue for me was that "if it sounds too good to be true,
then it usually is". I know that the Chinese market is huge but the choice
of paintings and the huge quantities required made me very suspicious.
Also, they did not appear to deal in art. However, I could not figure out
how a scam could work until I saw your video.
So thanks for this. I hope it saves a lot of other people like me a lot of
time, money and heartache. I just wish I had not wasted so much time going
back and forth with numerous e-mails.
And I saved a trip to Xi'an - great in nice weather (I've been before to
see the Terracotta Army) but in December I suspect that it gets pretty cold
there.
Best wishes,
Richard Harpum
Thanks so much for posting this. I and my production company just have had
the exact same scam offered me and until I saw your video I thought it was
real but was beginning to have my doubts when they didn't look at my film
work or even mention it. They asked for the same thing, 20 videos or
500/min of footage exploring the US. I put in about 40 hours of work on the
proposal and then they asked for me to present a contract so when I spoke
to my attorney he clued me in on scams from China. But when I saw your
video and saw it was the exact amount of footage (20 videos), I knew it was
the same exact scam. Thank you and so sorry this happened to you!!1
Thanks for doing this Tom. It's critically important to know this is going
on. But, it is just the hem of the garment when it comes to doing business
with China. I'm not sure how aware people are that China is doing a
thriving business in knock off products. Not all things that come out of
China fall into this category, there are some very good, honest and upright
business people there. It's too bad that the good business people are
painted with the same brush as the unscrupulous people. It just makes
everyone in China look bad.
Our studio was contacted by HENAN YUDA INDUSTRIAL CO,LTD to do documentary
video about Malaysia.We're also invited to Zhengzhou to sign the contract.
We thought we could not risk ourselves of getting kidnapped/ lose our
kidney,should the contract signing does not go well in China. We invited
the CEO to come to Malaysia and offer to cover the CEO’s air ticket. We
became sceptical when they asked us to wire USD 900 for the CEO’s business
trip. A bunch of thanks for sharing this scam around.
Thank you Tom! We also received a request from another "company" from Xi'an
, China, named YALONG IMP & EXP Trade Co Ltd trying to scam us too. They
asked and confirmed a budget for hiring us 30 performing artists. We
discovered their website is online since 1 month ago only, and they
confirmed us without watching any of our videos either, that are also
posted in Youtube. Then we found your site and video explaining their
fraude modality. Be ware! Same Scam but different company name!
Wow. We have bit hit up by another scam where we are hired to film an event
and edit a highlight reel by a company outside of the US. They ask for an
invoice and claim they will send a check from another company in the US. It
never gets much farther than that but the most recent one used a real
company name and address in Scotland. I am not sure what the end result
would be if they actually sent the check.
We were approach back in May and recently again here in Canada. I think the
reason we got so far down the path the first time was the fact that they
were so detailed. To come up with a scope of work (to me) shows some
background in the industry. My boss would not let me go to China when he
discovered that they had no website. The latest scam they do have a website
but it's very non-discript.
Found your video through a friend posting the link on his Facebook page -
although you lost some money which is always a bad thing, you were lucky in
a lot of respects. There have been tales of people going to do business in
places like Nigeria and actually being murdered for not going through with
the scam! Thanks for sharing your experience with us!
Worst part is if you do pick up on the scam or end up confronting their
motives and they get angry, the Chinese govt will get a report that you are
bad to do business with, probably falsify facts and pad the situation in
their favor. If their govt can be convinced/bribed you can be denied a visa
for future business.
Another scam company is Oldway Industrial Co Ltd from Shenzhen China. We
were also victims in the same way. We received an email from Elsa Xu and
also travel to China to sign the contract. We've stop at the right moment.
Do not go to China to sign contracts if you are the seller!
Oh yeah, they are truly scam artists. The beauty of the scam is that they
don't ask for money until you are in China. And afterwards it's like
watching the movie again but knowing the twist at the end, and you realize
it was all just theatre, like being in the Truman Show....
We've got same e-mail today! I'm the producer in our company. I immediately
suspected a tricj, because the letter has been sent from strange e-mail
address and the title was not officially formalized. I started to looking
for information and found you video. Thank you!
I have a machinery shop and even that I haven't answered them on any of the
mails that they send me over times they are still trying to convince me to
product 1.000.000 pieces of some products. I have to admit that they are
trying hard ......xxaaxxaaxaxax
Scam can be avoided. We have check many china companies for foreign
customers, and saved them a lot money, so it's always suggested to check
your supplier before payment. If need verify china company's legitimacy,
you can find me on skype: stin002
Tom thank you for putting up this excellent video. I wasted a couple of
hours yesterday putting together a quote for the same scam and would
probably have gone further if I had not found your blog when I googled the
company.
Thank you for posting this. If China wants to be the next world superpower,
a first world country or even just taken seriously then they need to stop
doing things like this. DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH CHINA!
//www.enterchina.co/ How does China compare to other developing countries when it comes to safety? Well, China is a different beast. The guys discuss this ...
The reason for safety is the lower testerone levels of Asian males. Less
aggressive, less violent and less inclined to stand out by making a scene
and attacking someone. We as humans can sense this on a primal level. Hang
around big hairy white guys or black guys and you can sense the violent
machismo underneath.
Haha, if you keep going for a gym, you'll find Asian guys usually could push more weights, compared to the same size white people, if they have lower level testosterone, how could they keep a low body fat and more power? Usually white guys have the most body fat among others. But as we know, the testosterone help body burn more fat easily.
My parents and my relatives over in China are always cautious of the safety
of dietary supplements and the like. So my parents always like to buy stuff
here and ship it to them.
Muslim food is safe, so if you worry about food safety, just try Muslim food, cause China has 20million Muslims, Muslim food are amazing! No Matter on your street or Internet.
+Joshua Xiong and if your belongings been stolen, the police will do there best to help you IF YOU ARE A FOREIGNER. IF YOU ARE A NATIVE CHINESE, NOTHING HAPPENS.
The reason is: we look up to foreigners, and that makes us work to make
this country better, some other developing countries blame the foreigners
for what they become, that mentality wont help any country.
Lol it has nothing to do with Chinese people don't wanna mess with bigger
white guys, trouble makers operate in gangs... so yeah. If they carry a
knife too, then your height just makes you a larger target to hit. The
truth is that these trouble makers know that if a foreigner gets hurt,
there will be firm international pressures from your embassies to
investigate, and they'll really get into deep shit.
Even for local Chinese males, they rarely get physically attacked, but
maybe pick pocketed, and in worse scenarios get mugged. Desperate people
only want money, the victim's dignity has no value to them. Think logically
and you'll get out of trouble in East Asian countries.
Philippine MPs visit Spratlys despite China warning
Defiant Philippine lawmakers travel to an island in the disputed Spratly chain, ignoring warnings from China that the trip would destabilise the region and ...
The reason why China is laying claims in the South China Sea is because
during the Ice Age that area is practically unaffected by the last Ice Age
and can support life and China knows that it has to steal the South China
Sea BY MAKING LIES AND FALSE CLAIMS OVER IT BECAUSE IT IS DYING BECAUSE OF
IT'S OWN POLLUTION DESTROYED CHINESE ECOSYSTEM THAT HAS MADE CHINA SLOWLY
UNSUITABLE TO SUPPORT HUMAN LIFE AND BECAUSE OF THE COMING COOLING. The
only reason why China dare not make false claims and lies over Siberia
because we Russians will retaliate with our nuclear arsenal capabilities
permanently stationed in Siberia.
@GuanYu89 well who gives a shit. its a rising superpower thanks to its
exploitation of western countries. Fair trade my ass.on the outside it
looks beautiful but within, it has a dismal human rights record, its been
hit by typhoons, at least flips are humble workers going abroad earning
their keep unlike fucking chinks who sell drugs wherever they F'n go. not
to mention they kill others w/ defective products. as for your tech how
sure are we that they're not defective like your brain? FU Gook
Hwweee you guys are still on this ? I feel bore about all of this. Other
government should take this out the Court and make clear to whom these
islands belong to Spratlys and Paracel 1 and for all. Compromise will only
allow China to bend the rules. China may be the 2nd largest economy but if
you divided to all people in China i dont think it's that high. Also China
has never contributed any science discoveries to the world; or had any
discoveries, so i dont see any rising power from china.
@GuanYu89 hey shithead your comments show how retarded and ignorant the
stupid chinks are. Chinks are hard workers AT MAKING DRUGS AND FAKE SHIT. i
remember one time a group of chinese drug dealers were gunned down in
mindanao for making drugs, you trifled with the wrong group of flips you
cunt. some flips abroad are highly paid doctors,architects,engineers not
all do minimum wage labor ignorant bitch.if u die before me and i meet your
corpse i am gonna piss and laugh on it
@journeymanX Well it's not their tech; they did not invent or program
anything, supercomputer, bullet train, etc..... it's all come from outside,
nuclear power is come from Soviet. About tourist ? seriously look how
freaking big their country is; so more place to see, more tourist; it's not
like they have better service ? or better scenes not to mention their
cities are dirty - Kyoto is the best in my opinion - anyway the only thing
they have is man power and lands.
@GuanYu89 hey fuckwit your own kind likes to toil in sweatshops making fake
products for the west. so who's the Fucking slave? also you rob countries
of their money just to give them fakes. not all flips are poor, ignorant
bitch i'll treat you to some Flip hospitality,let you marvel at my wealth
and stab you w/ my bolo you fetus- eating,slanty eyed,broken english,
commie following,fake making,yellow skinned,backstabbing,drug
addicted,broken tooth, ASSWIPE!!!!
@GuanYu89 you're fucking stupid you want to steal our natural resources?
The whole Palawan is rich with Natural Gas and Oil. Philippines will become
the top 10 riches country in the world because of these gas reserves. We
should kick out all the illegal Chinese immigrants in the Philippines and
also we should limit Chinese Nationals to buy land properties over 1.5
acres. There should be no disputes. Philippines territory belongs to
Filipinos not for Chinese.
@GuanYu89 It's better to do a job that is MORAL than to do a job that is
INSANE. If We are bunch of servants and what I will call you bunch of junk
people, FAG BRAINLESS people who serves SEX. That's why China is big junk
of growing unnecessary sickness that carries throughout the world. Now,
BACK OFF YOU JERK!
@GuanYu89 Oh. I know you're feelings bro. I know that you are BIG SHAME for
your country who always wants militarism. C'mon, don't hide your feelings
ALL COUNTRIES hates your junk country. Sleeping Giant? You mean BIG JUNK of
Sleeping giant!? HAHAHA! How careless... fufu.
@GuanYu89 We really don't care about your NOOB nation. It is just a JUNK in
EARTH. You peoples are no brain. Don't know how to manage international
laws. You're stupidity comes to an end. HAHAHA
Walang magagawa ang China kung ipaglalaban natin ang ating nasasakupan.
Wala silang rights na angkinin ang ating kayamanan. Huwag tayong
magpapaBULLY sa kanila.
Good job on this and the China story. Just as an aside, as we are
mentioning Internet censorship, I have suspected I am a target of this. As
I visited YouTube today to catch up on my subscriptions I watched your
China video and I shown it had 223 views. As I worked my way to your France
story in which you showed a screenshot of your China video your screenshot
said that video had been viewed 403 times. This was curious to me, so I
double checked the numbers even backing out of your channel and re
entering. The results were the same. I do use YouTube for education
purposes and share a lot of the eyeopening video via Twitter. Looks like
they are trying to sensor me for some reason! Maybe it's my "handle"?
+grindall I regret supporting you in any way! Since that was my intention! I'll never share another one of your videos. I was nit trying to make it about ME, I was agreeing with you and just mentioning other ways Censorship is occurring. I was a follower when you only had around 250 followers. Guess it all went yo your head!
+Agenda21Truth1 How is youtube messing with my numbers equate to your being censored? I am aware of the discrepancy as well. Has nothing to do with anything on your end.
Very good detail catch Grindall. THANK GOD we have the Bill of Rights. What
I mean is, I KNOW the Gov't doesn't follow it but it gives us something
major league to lean on when the time is right. Other countries did not put
these rights in simple text and they are now screwed (France.) They are SO
much harder to stomp on when they are spelled out. No doubt they are being
stomped on but it gives us a major line in the sand to rally around. The
Bill of Rights is the final line in the sand.
+Helen Russell Actually, a chocolate fireguard has some potential reuse value (assuming it wasn’t made by Nestle). All rights agreed in the Magna Carta (1215) and The Bill Of Rights (1689) have now been taken away by subsequent legislation - with just one exception, The Royal Perogative.
Freedom and liberty is at threat across the world due to the unholy
alliance between the 'left' and Islam. It's so blatant that the Islamic
invasion across the Western world is to bring in totalitarianism as not to
offend backward head choppers. Who could have foreseen such evil?
+Rationality FThe violence only comes when people like you fall for the propaganda and harp on about islam not being a religion of peace.That crappy attitude is the problem, not the numbers of people.You claim to want peace but you talk in prejudice and hate.Truth be told the lack of peace is in your hateful heart.Once again I say to you: you are the tool by which those who which to suppress and control you get their way.You are the slave who works to enslave himself further.That is quite ironic.
+vicachcoupOf course Im aware of TPTB using this to set the financial reset and the potential violence and thats why I want to see less of them here. Whats disturbing is you see the state coming in too but dont recognise that more of them there are the uglier it will be. We only want peace and Islam is not a religion of peace. You know that so why the cucking?
I know full well that ISIS is funded partly by the West as well as the ME states but you for some reason you have left out the popular suppport they have from Muslins in Europe. Sure you meant to and that you wouldnt overlook that or are you that stupid that having millions of people that support such an organisation is a concern.
+Rationality FThe point is not that people don't abuse benefit etc. They do.I see this at play every day.But that is only a small part of it.There is wastage and unfairness everywhere you look.To hone in only on the abuse of benefits by a part of the muslims is just biased bollocks.I see plenty of europeans milking the system too.I see plenty of muslims contributing. Most of my friends are professionals and many are doctors who do a great job. Some do it for wages which are quite poor considering the amazing work they do.You whinge on about the millions but are blind to the fact the biggest swindles are in the billions and trillions.You are a pseudo-intellectual stooge who is being taken for a ride by your media.I bet you think that isis has something to do with islam right? And that the 'west' has no interest in arming and supporting them covertly.Silly man.The system that wants divide and conquer wants it for a reason.And it is not to look after those like you.It is to control those like you.It is creating hatred and unrest so that the military can be brough it and rights taken away.We see it already - loss of liberties and heavily armed police everywhere.Welcome to 1984 my friend.And well done for being a willing slave helping to edge it along.
I try to focus on the top of the pyramid but I get distracted by debate on Islam as it reminds me of how utterly detestable (yes I know some of them are alright! I am capable of making a rational choice on what is best for my society) it is and its horrid.Stop saying blatant lies, we waste billions on these people and you know full well that many of the women dont work. Just because Im aware of the game it doesnt mean I will tolerate imbecilic moral relativists who like vandals will allow their societies to rot to show how with it they are.
+Rationality FThe money that goes on welfare is miniscule.The money rises to the top y friend.And the top gets those at the bottom to fight amongst themselves.So you fall hook, line and sinker for that game.Why is your energy directed at one of the other pawns of the game?
+vicachcoup We Europeans have paid for these peoples welfare and provided houses that has pushed up housing costs. Our infrastructure is stretched and we hear of the rapes, violence and intimidation. It is our freedom to dislike this imposition on us with no popular mandate. Why are we held to the highest demands of anyone in the world?
+vicachcoup Absolutely about d and c and my reaction. Im fully aware of the tactics and being taken in myself but its just horrific.I know that most of these people are fine but they should be in their own countries as the d and c is being set up for conflict as TPTB cannot be trusted. We have also been brainwashed with politcal correctness to weaken us. Obviously I have woken up to this and you havent.Problem is that people like you are cowards and come out with the 'my best friend is a Muslim' and wont face up or condemn the very worst in Islam as it shouldnt even be here. I dont care how great you think these people are as they have one loyalty and I have seen the marches where thousands of them are shouting military chants. You might not see a problem but I suggest that is a stunning lack to see this through, brainwashing, lack of empathy for the European people and general misunderstanding.
+Rationality FI agree with a part of what you say. The game is definitely divide and conquer.It's worked well on you.Isn't that ironic??Most muslims don't wnat to eradicate nations states.You obviously don't know many muslims.Most muslims are nominal muslims and just want a good comfortable life. They will be happy if they kids become doctors and lawyers.Most muslims arenot very pernickety about religion.You perhaps talk about the very small minority that want to bring Islam into the world as a political entity.These people are generally shunned by most average muslims which is why they have a small following and why they have to work so hard to push their ideology.And if you think muslims are protected in the media then you are an idiot of the highest order.Muslims are facing an ever increasing number of attacks precisely because of the anti-muslim rhetoric of politicians and the media which ramps up negative issues to do with muslims and plays down attacks on muslims.I have no respect for you intellectual integrity if you think the media is pro-Muslim.
+vicachcoupI hadnt read all your post. I take your point about 9/11 but its the people utilising Islam as a means against the European people. The left (big welfare, identity politics, mass immigrstion) is effectively mandated from those above through the institutions such as the media, universities and government.The left uses the minority groups as pawns by giving them special priveliges to work against the European people. The left's policies look great and worthy when first presented but it gives intended consequences of divide and conquer. Islam is useful as the left wants to eradicate nation states and Muslins dont care about the country. When they become the majority they can abolish countries and thats why they are protected in the media and government with ridicuolous and unfair laws and policies.
Ive learned the hard way that we have been conned all our lives as the media herds us like cattle with our views. More effective since the degrading of Christianity as a moral force. Many people are waking up to this. Dont you agree?
+Rationality FYou think propaganda is nothing?If events like 911 are false flags then your arguments against islam break down.You can't just cherry pick a few sensational issues and make general conclusions.Well you could: but then you just confirm that you are prejudiced.I don't get your idea that the left and islam work together.The left just supports minorities or fringe groups and it has areas of big disagreement with Islam eg in issues of rights to abortion or to gay marriage etcThere is no 'working together' it is just that there is an overlap in interests at times.
There we were talking about Islam and you change the subject. Could we keep to the topic in hand please?Yes some propaganda but its not like we can trust the media is it? What is interesting right now is learning about history we didnt know about it as the history we learnt is propaganda and disinformation. The history I find fascinating and disturbing is how the left and Islam have worked together before. Though they werent known as the left then. More propaganda and disinformation maybe but isnt everything?
+Rationality FWhat about when the state covers up the sexual exploitation of minors carried out by the non-muslims.The rest of your points shows your tendency to propaganda and misinformation.
+vicachcoup when I hear about the state covering up the sexual exploitation of minors, dozens of terrorist activities thwarted, see hundreds of thousands of military age men marching through Europe, on and on it goes I think that this is not for my benefit. only a complete retard at this stage would not see the link between the left and Islam. any other reasons fit into this unholy alliance. you are welcome to provide more to me.
