What is China like? (Part 6)

Here, we continue on our exploration of China from the comfort of our own personal computer, personal laptop, or personal media device. This is a multi-part post because too many videos will prevent the post from loading, and also, I tend to get sidetracked on various issues.

Also, please keep in mind that the purpose of this post is to illustrate that the rest of the world, outside of America, has moved on with their lives. That while they might not be as great as America is, they are doing just fine thank you.

And while America has been squandering it’s money, decimating it’s resources, and just being cavalier with it’s military, the rest of the world has done the opposite. They have husbanded their day to day fortunes, and you can see this in their day-to-day lives.

This is the sixth of a mighty mega-post.

As a quick reminder, to all the new comers here…

Please kindly note that this post has multiple embedded videos. It is important to view them. If they fail to load, all you need to do is to reload your browser.

Traditional parades (video 30)

China is about traditional parades.

Most nations have parades, and all of the traditional conservative ones do, and incorporate some tid-bits and stories from history within the parade elements. For instance, when I was a boy growing up on Pennsylvania, the parades would have a skit or two about Paul Bunyan and Johnny Appleseed.

Well the same is true in China. They have parade elements that show things about the enormous Chinese history. As well as some of the local history and of the local minorities.

Today, of course, these historical displays have been displaced in progressive liberal nations, such as the UK, Sweden, and the United States with LGBT, and gay pride displays. History has been displaced by socialist and Marxist thoughts and politics.

It’s for a better world… they tell me. Though, I’m not at all convinced.

Here’s a parade in China.

Mother and child reunion (video 31)

China is about boys reconnecting with their Moms.

Deja Vu – Mother And Child Reunion

The young man is working at “er le ma”. This is a food delivery service. You use the APP, pick out the food you want, and they deliver it straight to you. Their major competition is the yellow-jacketed Kangaroo delivery service.

We don’t know the story between him and his mother. But we can guess. Perhaps they did not approve of the girl that he wished to marry, or had other plans for him. In any event, he left home, and is now working at what ever job he can get to build up a life for himself. This is what men do.

Though it can be hard on the loved ones.

Here we have the reunion. And yes, this is all VERY Chinese. Notice his reaction when he tastes his mothers’ cooking. He eats some, thinks and says that it is just like the way his mother cooked it.

The idea that men need to leave the nest and build up a life for themselves is a very traditional conservative ideal. As such, I have a very good write up on this subject. It opens in another tab. You might want to check it out.

Build up your life

Tearing down the house (video 32)

China is about rapid construction, and rapid tear-down…

In the United States, we tend to use dynamite and “wrecking balls”. In fact, wrecking balls are quite famous in the United States, as they are associated with liberal politics and progressive change. Here we have the iconic progressive wrecking ball doing a number on traditional America to the cheers and glee of the entire Hollywood audience.

Here’s Miley Cyrus

And here’s Anne Hathaway…

Again, to repeat, the iconic symbol of a “wrecking ball” is a meme used by the progressive socialist Marxist democrats in the United States. It is used figuratively to illustrate how all the history, traditions, culture and society of traditional America is being destroyed by progressive Marxists to create a utopia with the likes of Obama and Hillary Clinton in charge.

Meanwhile, in conservative China, this is how to wreck a building…

Oh, and by the way, the traditional way of doing things has over 5,000 years of experience. Most of the “new” ways of doing things are just repackaged old failures. Here’s an example of what can happen when you follow the tried and true traditional way of getting things done on a local level…

Saw this in my small town. City council wanted to plop a new fire station in the middle of a residential area, instead of in the corridor where studies showed the need was greatest. The fire dept. wanted it in the center of the town so they would answer on average one less call per day for mutual aid from the surrounding county & other municipalities. We showed up in council chambers like a Frankenstein pitchfork mob, and the council backed down. They were so afraid for their safety, they all fled the chambers immediately after the vote had been taken and the proper result realized.

Adventures after dark (video 33)

China is truly a land of adventure. This is from a regional tourist promotional video of some sort. I’m not all that clear on it’s history, but it is an enjoyable watch. Check it out.

Again, the point that you (the reader) should keep in mind is that the rest of the world is moving forward. They are living their lives at their pace and making the rules as they go. Meanwhile Americans are being boxed in by fear and manipulation by wealthy oligarchs. This is what the world is like.

The world does not look like a “Save the Children” commercial, a war-torn rural desert town, or a Venezuelan garbage dump. It actually looks more like this…

Disco-building light-shows (video 34)

China is about light shows on the sides of buildings. The video below is of Shenzhen, China but it could have been taken at any Chinese city. Synchronized LED light displays are now quite common in China. This includes buildings, public works such as tunnels, bridges, and underpasses, and all other public buildings.

Just imagine what could be done if we (as Americans) trimmed off a few billion dollars from fighting in Yemen and devoted that money to American beautification and livability efforts domestically. You know, it doesn’t cost too much to plant trees, and to hire a staff of people on welfare to pick up trash, sweep the roads, and maintain the public spaces.

Heck! Think of how beautiful San Francisco could be if they took all the people now on welfare and gave them a paid job (at minimum wage) to pick up the shit, discarded needles and rubbish that plagues that city.

Ah, but no one wants to hear my option; That both Russia and China don’t give welfare out. They will pay you to work, but will not pay you to sit and do nothing.

Being treated like royalty (video 35)

China is a place where they literally treat you like royalty. Can you just imagine this level of treatment? Granted, it’s not common, but if you really want to impress someone, the Chinese will pull out all the stops. My goodness!

Now this is what I call “rolling out the red carpet treatment”!!!!

Continued…

OK. At numerous videos for this part, let’s go and move on to the next part of this post which covers more videos and further commentary about China.
