Yeah, and like just really rude and just because he knows a few English, you know, he's like no no no like it's it just Welcome to S&T chats where we bring you I show speed. Oh I actually don't know about this streamer, honestly The only reason why I saw his video is because on Instagram there was Apparently he was in China and then he asked a little girl was like, what's my full name? And then the little girl was like Darren Watkins jr. And I was like who? So then when I looked into more Apparently I show speed was in China to explore the country's bright Vibrant culture trying new foods and was interacting with locals. So his China tour began March 24th and He went to various cities including Shanghai, Beijing and Chongqing So in order to know like what he enjoyed China I guess I went on Douyin and then there's basically a lot of videos of him going around different spots in Chongqing like there was a Tour guide basically who just like took him to a lot of different places met different people and the tour guide Kind of like, you know show him the best parts of Chongqing. I think he popped up on my YouTube Recommendation not to be racist, but he's black right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, and then he like eats food, right? He does everything he does everything. Yeah, was he there are no extremes his life Yeah, was there a video of him like I think the title was like this most spiciest hot pot in the world Yeah, I think so. I didn't see Hidden view his whole stream But then there was this section where he was eating out and open with like a whole bunch of spectators And then there was like Chinese guides. I tell him what it is and stuff like that. Yeah. Yeah, I think I think yeah I saw his recommendation on YouTube So I just want to bring up that It Chongqing does look beautiful. Like whatever the things that he saw it was really nice it was really fun the people that he met including Jackson Wong who is a Singer right and then there's also Zhang Dada who's like a famous comedian I mean, I think he's a comedian because if you haven't already go watch the great escape He also has famous songs, right? So he met this bunch of people and then the reviews were really nice, you know, they basically Did a PR for China him him his channel, right? Yeah his channel unknowingly well, I guess knowingly did a PR for China and then so there's a lot of People who's praising him for doing that and then there's also a lot of people who's like bashing on him saying Oh, like how can he follow a Chinese propaganda? He's being paid for it like all that kind of stuff, right? The bashing part is on like Instagram and YouTube kind of right? I think so. Yeah, that's where he post. Yeah. Yeah That's where he post his videos on YouTube. So his own Videographer came out and said that fact I show speed is not doing is not getting anything for this. He's Touring China out of his own pocket. Okay. Yeah, which is really nice, you know, he's trying Different culture different foods, that's very nice different experience. Yeah What I think I want to share with you guys is How yes, China Chongqing is beautiful But you can't forget that there's also another side of Chongqing that the guides the tour guides Don't want you to see yeah, it's like the a really popular Netflix show called now home the first frost That's showing on Netflix the one with I team team like it's pretty popular but in that drama, there's like Where they film the scenery like it's an actual place in China. It's like two buildings It's like a building and then the subway train comes out of that building Okay, and then like people like content creators they went there to go see it and it is really like beautiful yeah, it is really beautiful and it is like, you know, like what you see in the see dramas like China is very beautiful. There are very beautiful places. Yeah, but it's like do most people live like that and Is that all of China? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah I guess it's nice that China is trying to do PR for their country, you know as Tourists like we can totally go and enjoy China. That's for sure But we have to understand that Like not all of the Chinese people living in China are happy same thing with the people living in the United States You know, there's always that social differences between the rich and the poor for sure And I feel like let's not even talk about rich in a poor. Let's just talk about Chinese Everyday life people the people in the middle class section, you know, like how do they live? Is there a middle class in China? There's there's rich and then middle and then poor poor, but most of them are just poor people Yeah, it's I think it's mostly like the gap is like that. Yeah. Yeah. I think the biggest difference between China and the rest of the world that's not communist government did right is the Freedom. Yeah that we are Granted. Yeah, you know like in America I can voice like what I my opinion. Mm-hmm. You might not agree, but I have that Opportunity. Yeah, or that chance? Yeah to say it and not be like, oh if I say this, well, I get persecuted Right, like will I get? Jailed, you know will hurt my family exactly. Yeah, and then so the thing is It's very technological Technologically the technologically advanced in China. There's this scene that I show speed was like Oh, I'm gonna go into a tunnel. I don't know if I'm gonna have data But he did have data, you know, so it does show that China is Pretty advanced in some parts of their cities But you have to know that I believe that I show speeds team is using a international Sim sim card, so then he is he has the access to I don't know like YouTube Facebook Instagram things like that in China in China if you're a man, he has to have a VPN No, yeah, dude. He's not have a VPN No If you get your SIM card from the airport, you already have unrestricted access because you're a foreigner When I went to China, I went to the concierge and then I got an international SIM card. Oh you mean in China in China? Oh, yeah, and that international SIM card allows me to go on Instagram Facebook YouTube all the good stuff everything everything But that's because you have to show them your password and be like, hey, I'm Chinese, but I'm actually American Yeah, but the Chinese people they don't have full access to the Internet I guess the ABCs in America or like the people who came out of China called the cyber security the Great Wall Because they're like, you know, like Chiney the CCP. They're basically restricting the access. Yeah, so if you are Chinese and you do want to go on Instagram or Facebook or YouTube you have to use a VPN yeah, because the only allowed media or Access are the only ones owned by the that are Chinese right that company based or Chinese or they? Approve you for whatever reasons Yeah, so that's one part of what I want to share and then this last part would be in the whole entire stream I show speed is very cordial like he's very respectful Like there's this one part you kind of see how his character is is that like in the middle of a street? Yeah, he saw a couple standing for their wedding photo shoot I think and then he was like, hey like congratulations Can I help you take a photo and then he asked but they didn't understand English So then he had a translator translate and then in the meantime, he's just standing, you know He's not like trying to like take the camera over like give it to me. Let me take a picture for you He's very respectful of others, you know And then in the stream I saw this video on Instagram and it basically says I don't know if this is true or not but there's this one guy who keeps following I show speed and then he's a GM of a Chongqing restaurant And then he the Chinese dude is so disrespectful Like you can see the difference between I show speed versus this Chinese dude Like was he a guide or he's a guy oh, he's the guy he's not a guide. He's just a random person He's not a random person. He's just someone who wants to show him his their restaurants. Yeah, or like show Be on the stream speed so that he gets that Publicity. Yeah, he gets a publicity Okay. Yeah, so then There's two instances from this video that I want to bring up Yeah, yeah, yeah, why do you gotta **** is bigger I'm allergic I'm boss. I'm boss. Yes We're all catering. We hope to be friends, but we can respect each other on the boat You can get up. I need to introduce you I Basically says there's eight parts, right But I just want to bring up two parts and then the first part is that when they were eating You can see that the guy is like on the side like hey, I'm the boss. I'm the boss I have like business relationship with him, which he doesn't Like you have to let give me the seat because you know, otherwise I'm gonna go to Chongqing and go find you Yeah, like in a like in a very subtle threatening way, but when people of power, especially this GM General manager of a Chongqing restaurant like they gotta have a certain amount of power Yeah, I mean, I don't think disrespect is where he is. So rude He just wants attention, yeah, like he'd been so rude so loud and like pushing people away Yeah acting like he's that big shot. Yeah, like he's in control. Exactly. I I show speeds Like he's his manager kind of like that. Yeah. Yeah and like just really rude and just because he knows a few English You know, he's like no no, no like it's it just Just really rude really rude and then and then there's this oh there's also this one part that really gets me is that so They brought I show speed to a KTV place and then he was rapping with two rappers And then they had Mike and then they were rapping They're like professional rappers, right? And then that guy was like also had a mic And was like going into the mic and then one of the rapper was a hey stop doing that And he didn't listen and then there was a stop doing that and they still didn't listen So then one of the rapper took his mic away, right Wow So remember that so he does not have a mic anymore, right and then The there's two rappers, right? So then both of them were rapping And then he took the mic of the other rapper Wow, and then the rapper who took the mic away was like no you you don't do that. But like because this was on Live, you know, it's not like the rapper can do anything. Oh, it was a live stream was live And he he was live for like six hours a day Wow Yeah, I mean it's these kind of actions that Chinese people do that That's why like it's so embarrassing and like when we were younger like at least like we don't want to be considered Chinese It's these kind of action. It's just so embarrassing. It's so embarrassing because like it just show how Uneducated Chinese people are. Yeah, like you don't you don't carry yourself with certain decorum You know, you don't carry yourself worth a certain I guess respect for others Like how I show speed is doing, you know Like within the whole stream that he was in Like even if someone like pushed him even if someone like screaming at him he was he all he did was like like he was like What the what the heck are you doing? He was like that. He wasn't like ah, like he wasn't yeah Yeah, so it kind of it kind of shows the difference it shows a huge difference it shows a huge difference Yeah, you said before like, um the Chinese like technology. I just want to add to that. Yeah, it's very advanced Actually, like I know some friends that recently came out of China like two or three years ago to America and they're like Yeah, like in China, you don't need to bring a wallet at all. Like everything is like face facial recognition Yeah, yeah your phone you you it's like really easy to do business and cash and then like parking everything like it's so convenient But that's just basically on the surface like if you scratch down below. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, and then like there's a lot of skyscrapers to write skyscrapers sky Skyscrapers to write and it's really tall and really nice But a lot of times like if something happens to like a little slight earthquake they collapse Yes Like a couple days ago. Yeah, the Thailand Manar earthquake. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah There was a huge skyscraper that collapsed completely and that was done by a Chinese company. Oh, it was Yes, it was, you know in China like the netizens have like Like a slang for this and it's called they call in Chinese like tofu. Oh Tofu house? The tofu house or something like that Tofu house, but it basically says like this building is made out of tofu because you know As you know tofu is very soft and it's very crumbly. It's it breaks easily So that's what they're calling. So the main point to get at this is that Yes, Chinese things are very like cheap or are done really fast and stuff But the quality like it's 偷工減料 There's no quality control. Yeah, actually, yeah, it's whatever's the cheapest whatever's the biggest profit That's what they get at it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so in the end we just want to Let you guys understand that there's always a good and bad to everything. Yeah, you know so before you go out and You do anything just make sure that you understand the whole situation, you know Don't judge a book by its cover You want to read page from page front to the end the whole thing? So that you get a very well understanding of what's actually happening Yeah, and I think the best thing to do is if you have the chance of experiencing it yourself You should go experience whatever that thing is or whatever that You know topic is and like do your own research a little bit and make your own judgment Um, so that's it for today and we will see you next time and don't forget to Like and subscribe Okay
