My First Impression about China! Wow!!!

我对中国的第一印象！哇塞！

This is my first impressions of being in China! A lot of people talk about China without ever having been there. Is it really what the media says about it?

我对中国的第一印象！很多人没有去过中国就谈论中国。媒体说的是真的吗？

以下是各国网民的评论：

It is easy to honor your country and government when you see your tax dollars at work improving the lives of your people, not funding wars and corrupt oligarchs at home or abroad.

当你看到税款被用来改善人民的生活，而不是资助国内外的战争和贿赂腐败寡头时，你就会诚心尊重你的国家和政府。

And if a US citizen live and work in another country, they have to pay taxes to the US on the money that they made in that other country

如果一个美国公民在另一个国家生活和工作，他们在另一国赚的钱，必须向美国纳税

London has more cameras than Shanghai, yet the Western media only criticise China. Haha

伦敦的摄像头比上海多，而西方媒体只批评中国。哈哈

You’re right that’s what they do & everybody here feels very safe walking at night. What makes the case right for UK but not China? One can see the double standard right there

你说得对，他们就是这么做的，这里的每个人晚上走路都很安全。英国做就可以，为什么中国做不可以？不能双标啊！

And yet it's still not safe in London!

然而，在伦敦仍然不安全！

I live in London for more than 40 years. There is a dual carriage way called A12, it is festooned with speed cameras ( the most in the whole UK ) not because it has very high road traffic accidents but because it can catch more speeding drivers and fine them it is a big source of income for the authority.

我在伦敦住了40多年。有一条名为A12的双车道，上面挂着测速摄像头（全英国最多），不是因为这条路的道路交通事故率高，而是因为可以抓拍到很多超速驾驶的司机并对他们处以罚款，这可是当局的一大收入来源。

@geopoliticaltrends You hit the nail on the head: Double standards.

说到点子上了，这是双重标准。

internationaldaily9820

​ @geopoliticaltrends We've been to Shanghai, China last December. Yeah... China is so advanced, the future. China is safe with or without cameras. The culture in China and other East Asian territories place the community good above self.

去年十二月，我们去过中国上海。是啊。中国非常先进。无论有没有摄像头，中国都是安全的。

中国和其他东亚国家的文化，把社区利益置于个人利益之上。

ahkoy973

Dr O, China welcomes you , the safest country for solo travellers, specially women ... peace

中国欢迎你，独自旅行的话，尤其是女性来说，中国是最安全的国家。

The UK did not impose tariffs on Chinese EVs ..

英国没有对中国电动汽车征收关税。

Welcome to the Land of my Grandfather, Dr. O.

Enjoy the experience. All roads leads to China.

CHINA IS THE HOPE OF THE WORLD. CHINA IS THE FUTURE.

欢迎来到我的祖国，O博士。

享受在中国的经历。条条大路通中国。

中国是世界的希望。中国是未来。

I am a Chinese diaspora living in UK. Visited Beiing,Shanghai,ian first time in May 2024. Your first impressions echoed mine too. Having lived over 70 years under Western influenced culture and environment (20yrs Msia, 52 UK), the cleanliness, safety, friendliness, happy atmosphere was what I experienced in China. And I also adopted the back packing approach avoiding tour guides, often spent time looking at daily lives, work attitudes.. Amazing... Talked to the locals and they all say politely the West have nice people but there are a lot of irresponsible leaders. Yet they all feel safe from foreign threats.

我是一名旅居英国的中国侨民。2024年5月首次访问北京、上海、西安。你的第一印象和我一样。

在西方文化和环境影响下生活了70多年（马来西亚20年，英国52年），我在中国体验到了清洁、安全、友好、快乐的氛围。我选择背包游，避开导游，关注当地民众日常生活、工作态度。太神了。与当地人交谈后，他们都礼貌地说，西方有好人，但西方也有很多不负责任的领导人。然而，他们都没有感到受外国威胁。

Very glad you're in China. You'll find Asians very welcoming and hard working.

很高兴你在中国。你会发现亚洲人非常热情和勤奋。

AnnieT369

There are more security cameras per Capita in London than in Shanghai but you don't feel safe in London.

伦敦的人均摄像头比上海多，但你在伦敦感觉还是不安全。

michaeltse321

London cameras are to help the police spy but Shanghai cameras are to help the people - lol

伦敦的摄像头是为了帮助警察破案，而上海的摄像头是为人民服务的，哈哈

In my experience, everybody I know that has visited China comes back with a completely different opinion of China. Negative Western Propaganda has poisoned the minds of the people. That is why so many are "surprised" when they visit, including myself. Have a great time, in this highly advanced country with its wonderful people.

As an international traveller over many years, I believe the greatest life lessons you can ever learn comes from international travel. I have always wished it was compulsory for our younger generations to travel internationally before they move onto tertiary education. No matter where in the world you may go, there are more things that unite us, than divide us.

根据我的经验，我认识的每一个访问过中国的人，回来时都对中国有着完全不同的看法。西方媒体的抹黑，毒害了人民的思想。包括我在内的许多人到中国后都会感到“惊讶”。在这个生活着优秀人民的高度发达国家度过了一段美好的时光。

作为一名多年的国际旅行者，我相信你在国外旅行能学到最伟大的人生教训。我一直希望我们的年轻一代在进入高等教育之前，先出国旅行。无论走到世界的哪个地方，我们会变得更团结，而不是分裂。

Power is shifting to the East. The West will struggle and struggle, but the process is unstoppable.

权力正在向东方转移。西方不断挣扎，但转移的这一进程势不可挡。

DAVID there is never a bad time to visit China, but public holidays are a pain, I'm a Kiwi living in China and never travel during the holidays, far too many people, but I'm sure you will enjoy every minute of the Chinese culture

大卫：去中国从来没有不合适的时候，但选择在公共假期出行会很痛苦，我是一个生活在中国的新西兰人，从不在假期里旅行，人太多了，但我相信你会享受中国文化的

chickaboomboom2726

Chinese new year stores & most business close everyone on vacation most tax drivers on vacation that would be a rough time for foreigners

中国新年的时候，大多数商店会打烊，大多数出租车司机会放假，外国人这段时间在中国旅行会比较艰难

bill4056

so gladdd you like China.

很高兴你喜欢中国。

我们也去过中国

janethoward23

Be careful when you get back to America. Your government may charge you with espionage

回到美国时要小心。你的政府可能会指控你从事间谍活动

When you are in China, the only danger you may find yourself in is 'you may put on a couple of pounds/kilos'

你在中国时，可能会发现自己面临的唯一危险是“你可能会增重几磅/公斤”

kheesanlee6375

Dr O is so visibly, overly excited. Very good to wee him this way.
I had the same excitement the first time I visited China. And still everytime I visited, there are always new things to discover. Vast country, and deep culture.
Wish you very well in your visit to Fudan. The best person you can meet there is Prof Zhang Weiwei. He is THE MAN if you want to talk geopolitics. He was the personal interpreter to Deng iao all the time. Zhang is super busy, he is dedicating his time to educate Chinese people and young Chinese to understand the world inside and outside China. Super positive guy.

博士显然过于兴奋了。

我第一次访问中国时也是这样兴奋。而且每次去中国，我总能发现新的东西。幅员辽阔，文化底蕴深厚。

祝贺你访问复旦大学一切顺利。你在那里能遇到张伟伟教授。如果你想谈论地缘政治，找他就对了。他一直是邓公的私人翻译。张教授非常忙，他致力于教育中国人民和中国年轻人了解外面的世界。超级积极的家伙。

markchan8110

Dr O, you should teach in China University.

博士啊，你应该去中国大学教书

No homelessness in China!!!!!!!

中国没有无家可归的流浪汉

peanut0brain

Homeless = shame, lost face. So people will not be homeless

无家可归，会羞愧，会丢脸的。所以人们不会无家可归

Hopefully you will be the professor in Shanghai and can learn Chinese at the same time. You are wise and intelligent, I am sure you can master the language within 5 years. Your dreams will come true

希望你能成为上海的教授，同时学习中文。你很聪明，我相信你能在5年内掌握这门语言。你的梦想会成真的

davidb9013

I’m delighted that you have the same positive experience that many of us have in China. I’ve been living in Chengdu, Sichuan for 12 years but visiting first in 2008. It’s always been such a warm, welcoming place where people are always curious to know you and possess such a positive world outlook

很高兴你们和我们许多人一样在中国留下了一样的积极经历。我在四川成都生活了12年，第一次来是2008年。这里一直是一个温暖、热情的地方，人们总是好奇，想了解你，有着积极的世界观
