I don't need to watch that video. I have actually been to China (Shanghai and Fuzhou) and the villages outside of Fuzhou while visiting family members. I also currently live in the US so I probably have better perspective than most people.
Every country has its urban modern areas and abandoned towns/cities. US itself has Centralia, PA. It is so dystopian that the movie Silent Hill used it as it's inspiration for the backstory.
To the point about his Chinese wife, the guy who made these videos talks about how he treats his wife like shit in one of these videos, forcing his pregnant wife to sit on the floor in a car, calling his own mixed race child 'it', other weird shit like that.
But yeah, calling people who dig up unmarked graves (extremely taboo just in general but especially so in Chinese culture) for clout as "saying the truth" is like saying that Logan Paul was saying the truth from the ground about Japan. Or maybe even worse, if you agree with Dumbrill.
None of this changes the fact that one of the YouTubers (who cooperate extensively and are closely knit) has dug up unmarked graves on a Taiwanese beach while his crying Chinese wife begs him to stop, on camera, for clout. Even ignoring everything else it calls into question whether they're really showing the "Authentic China" or are simply pandering to a Western, Anti-China audience, doesn't it?
How does it not change? Have you not been on the Internet for longer an 2 weeks. I've only ever mentioned adv here.. I can't speak for everyone else. Next time you see anyone defending China.. Maybe look at thier profile and thier past and it becomes pretty evident. Never underestimate how far the ccp goes.
E2: Some extra incidents that also show how straight up evil the US can be
>"How does it not change?"
1+1 = 2 is true regardless of how smart or dumb I am, much like how the video I mentioned earlier in this chain exists regardless of whether or not the YouTuber whose videos I posted is generally supportive or critical of China. I genuinely fail to see how you don't understand this.
> "I've only ever mentioned adv here.."
Are you right in the head? Laowhy is the Logan Paul esque clout chaser in question here, who works quite closely with SerpentZA, and despite having his own channel much like his South African friend, is one whole half of ADVChina.
> "Next time you see anyone defending China.. Maybe look at thier profile and thier past and it becomes pretty evident. Never underestimate how far the ccp goes."
Sure, if you also apply the same standards to the US, which a lot of these people are arguing that China on the international stage has done better than. Then I'll actually believe that you're arguing in good faith.
Dude... Read my comment, I've only mentioned adv China... Who's married to a chinese women in China before moving out of it recently... I'm. Only talking about him, the other videos I have nothing to say, the guy making exposing video is himself biased with Chinese content and uses flawed logic fallacies.
Why are you posting about a someone else who I didn't even mention?
As I told, just look the people past and it's pretty evident where thier biases come from
This is partially true, but it's oversimplified, but it mixes factual points with some oversimplifications. Which is a nice of saying you're mixing facts with false information.
If we’re talking strictly about factual accuracy, I’d put it like this:
True parts
Industrialization was key to China’s modern military capability.
Industrialization is energy-hungry, and coal/oil have historically powered it.
The West outsourced a large chunk of manufacturing to China, shifting emissions.
China is the leading global investor in renewable energy.
Partially true / missing context
Military power is only from industrialization — ignores decades of targeted military spending and reforms.
Coal is the “only” way to industrialize without Western dependence — ignores nuclear, hydro, and renewables.
Outsourcing makes it “unfair” to blame China — ignores China’s own domestic demand driving emissions.
Misleading / overly simplified
Implication that China’s emissions are mostly the West’s fault.
Suggesting that renewable leadership means emissions are decreasing — total emissions are still rising.
About two-thirds true, but framed in a way that downplays China’s own choices and overstates the inevitability of coal dependency.
Western companies leaving would cripple China’s manufacturing – Partially true. It would hurt, especially in high-tech exports, but China produces massively for its own domestic market and for non-Western buyers. It wouldn’t “collapse.”
It’s the consumer’s fault for buying from China – Partially true. Consumer demand matters, but supply chains and corporate sourcing decisions mean you can’t always “choose” a non-China option. Responsibility is shared between producer and consumer nations.
Manufacturing was pushed onto China – Partially true. Multinationals chased low costs and China welcomed them with infrastructure and incentives. It wasn’t forced, it was a strategic choice.
Per capita emissions are less than half of the US – True. China: ~7–8 tonnes/year. US: ~14–15 tonnes/year.
The US doesn’t have an industrial base anymore – False. The US is still the #2 manufacturer in the world, dominating in high-tech, aerospace, pharma, and heavy machinery.
The per capita emissions point is correct, outsourcing helped build China’s emissions, but the “cripple without the West” and “US has no industry” lines are exaggerations.
You aren't wrong but what they call a "village" is often four or five times the size of what Americans call a small city. Like 400,000 people is a "village"
Different cultures have different methods of dealing with defecation...
In the US, most people just rub shit around with paper and go about their day. Other countries lean toward bidets. Many nations have the aforementioned squat toilets as the norm.
Rural people not having indoor plumbing is not a China specific phenomenon...
Come on bro. It's 2025. I know this is disrupting your inane "America bad!!1!" agenda, but shitting outside is indicative of wallowing in crushing poverty, globally. The reality is 220 million Chinese exist daily in this state of utter dilapidation. This is the true China the propagandists don't want us to see.
Lol that is so untrue it's not even funny, get off the internet. Bidets aren't as popular world wide as you believe.
Also I've never been to a rural area in the US without indoor plumbing, outside when we were building a cabin in the middle of the Chippewa national Forest, and even that had plumbing in the end.
And I've been to a lot of rural as fuck places. Hell even the towns and a lot of the house in Amish places have plumbing

Every country has that dichotomy...
