    Yeah, I haven’t seen any of him but it seems he just wants to get some moneis by spreading FUD.

    Aren’t you against all people not from China, btw?

      Not really. He made two documentaries about how diverse and culturally interesting China is. They’re called “Conquering Southern China” and “Conquering Northern China”. He always shows the beautiful and good sides of China but he likes to inflate his negative experiences on his YouTube channel since it gets him more clicks.

      He isn’t spreading FUD so much as he’s making the negative experiences and some negative things the CCP does bigger than they really are. Sure, he’s getting money, but he’s also getting a lot of useless hatred by people not speaking English very well.

        Ah, fair enough, thanks for the documentaries, they look interesting. My only experience with him was this video and those Reddit comments, so sorry if I had a wrong vision about him.

          no worries :)

          I can really recommend watching his channel. You have to watch a few videos to get his personality, but then you find out he provides a really unique view and explanations of Chinese culture which really made me appreciate China a lot.

          Most people who really hate him are Chinese nationalists. Sure, he’s also doing a bit of propaganda and often blows his experiences out of proportion, but you can easily filter through that if you speak English well.

          He always differentiates between the CCP and China and “the Chinese”, where he always stresses that there’s not the stereotypical Chinese person, but that there are many regions with many different cultural identities and interesting people and places to visit.
