China vs America: What You Should Know Before You Visit China - Wolters World
video description
1. Cash is definitely king if you are a tourist. Many tourist locations will only take cash payments for tickets. And you will mostly be able to get around pretty easily with cash. However for day to day living, Mobile payments are now king. Unless you go to a tourist location or some of the villages more inland, almost all stores and restaurants, and even cab drivers, will take WeChat or Alipay for monetary transactions. If you plan on travelling or living for an extended period of time I suggest setting up either WeChat or Alipay, it is far more convenient. I actually hope services like those can come to the USA soon.
2. Meter taxis work for sure, but I would suggest downloading an app that allows you to dadi, meaning call a taxi. The price will be predetermined and the cars will usually be nicer (since they are essentially like ubers, someones personal car. If you have WeChat, alipay, or even BaiduMaps (

I heard in China, there used to be some agencies that bring their tourists to visit and join movie making, particularly war movie that require lots of side actors. Tourists can experience wearing ancient armor (or costume, ride horse and charge together with all other actors while the director rolls the camera. Any idea about that? I asked few agencies and they said there is nothing like that anymore since China doesn't make much war movie anymore, except low budget ones that only required 10-20 actors who usually also their staffs.

You look at this and think. CCP controlling the masses, lie lie lie to the rest of the world, belt and road initiative to take over the world, a polluted country that forces cheap labour to feed the CCP. Its rotten to the core and the coronavirus has exposed this disgusting regime. Keep clear of China until the CCP have been annihilated, let the Chinese revolution begin.

Man, I love how straight to the point you are. I wasn't bored for one second, because you didn't ramble on or anything. I sped this up to 1. 25 and it was perfect. Also, when you all watch this video, remember he took this video in 2013. I'm sure some things have changed slightly since then, like cash is king theory etc. but over all he seems accurate.

PLEASE Stop torturing dogs! No animal deserves torture before or during slaughter! Skinned alive? Beaten with pipes? Boiled alive? Burned alive? Dismembered alive? Just so your meat tastes more tender?
You spit in God's face. God will see you on the other side. I would like to see you on this side!
Please I beg you to stop.

Don't listen to this moron and plug your USA 110 volt appliance into China's 220 volt sockets without a voltage converter unless you want to see the magic smoke and possibly be electrocuted.

4: 00 Well, that's a very friendly way to describe the issue. The truth is most Chinese people don't know about these issues and the CCP doesn't want the words to spread.
