Q: A decent vlog post
I've always thought vlogging was kind of silly, and cannot think of a single vlog that is consistently watchable, but Laowhy86 has a decent post explaining why his opinion of China changed. It is similar to those 'Why I'm leaving China' articles from 2012. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ed4ryYokLzU
For those of you who can't access it or can't be bothered watching, the key points are:
- Attitudes to Westerners, and particularly Americans are changing. There is less friendly curiosity and more suspicious hostility
- The economic development is less impressive when looked at up-close, eg the lift in his shiny new building had collapsed twice
- Freedoms are being eroded for everyone
- Poor policy had led to 'countless nurses being murdered' at his local hospital (wtf?!)
Do you agree with it?
