Chinese social media is opening up.

There are now more

Western users than ever on these platforms.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

In today's episode, I'll be sharing my thoughts.

Stay tuned.

Hello, everyone, and welcome to The John Pang Show.

In today's episode, we're going to be talking about how Chinese social media appears to be opening up and changing.

Or is it?

You see, in the last few weeks of you hearing this episode right now,

a platform called Bilibili recently went global.

What does that mean?

That means instead of only being able to be downloaded via the Chinese app store, they have gone global.

They are now accessible from everyone all around the world.

Now, what exactly does this mean?

Well, it's actually quite interesting.

A lot of people have said, well, finally, YouTube has some competition.

Well, I don't know about that, but it definitely could be a step in the right direction.

But today, what I actually want to talk to you more about is kind of the pros

and the cons that I've seen from Chinese social media opening up more to the Western world.

So, first of all, if you know nothing about Chinese social media, let me tell you a little bit about it.

I think a lot of you, if you are not from China, you know the app TikTok.

Now, actually, there is a completely different version in China that's called Douyin.

And these two apps are basically two separate apps.

The features are similar, but the entire user base, the entire content base is completely separated.

Now, most of the apps in China are like that until something happened.

In case you don't remember, TikTok got banned in the USA for a little bit of time.

And when that happened, that's when we had the great TikTok refugee situation.

That's because why?

Because an app called Red Note in China called Xia Hongshu,

that's because this app actually was available to be downloaded overseas.

And when that happened, that's when a lot of TikTok refugees went to this app.

So I think that's when the Chinese social media scene started to change a lot.

You see, this is one of the first times in history that Chinese people and people overseas,

and when I say that, I mean Americans, Europeans, blah, blah, blah.

This was one of the first times that regular common people began interacting with each other,

seeing where they live, learning about each other's countries, traditions, cultures, habits, and languages,

and daily lives without being misguided or jaded or lied to by the news.

I'll give you an example.

So for me, I've been living in China for a long time now, I believe over 20 years, and I have family here,

I have friends here, I have a good life here.

But before I went to China, I was under the impression that it'd be like this

dirt roads kung fu pagodas very stern people not a fun place a dark scary place

because that's what was always portrayed to me by the news

but then once i got here i realized oh wait a minute no that's it's not like

that at all it's an amazing place an awesome place the people are friendly

Everything is convenient.

It's very technologically advanced.

It's fantastic.

Amazing infrastructure, blah, blah, blah.

Now, of course, this could be said for a lot of different countries.

But the problem is you never really know until you go or you actually interact with the locals, the people that live there.

And I think this was a really big moment in time

because China had always been a complete mystery to many people something

because the internet has kind of been walled off in a set the fact

that not everyone could access it unless you were in China or, for example, on the Chinese app store, blah, blah, blah.

So this was a great moment in time where people from

all over the world were starting to get to know their Chinese brothers and sisters.

And I would say that since then,

China has actually become a lot more popular in a sense that before it was always like this complete mysterious place,

whereas now people are becoming Chinese or going through a very Chinese part of their lives, right?

So in one way, I think that's been an amazing thing.

And of course, when people from all around the world can exchange cultural ideas, be friendly with each other,

break down boundaries, that of course is a beautiful thing.

Now, remember, I'm talking very nice right now because we're talking about the positives,

the good things that I've seen from Chinese social media becoming more open.

Now, besides the TikTok refugee situation,

there was another huge event that I think really put a lot of eyes on China,

life in China, daily life in China, what China is really all about.

And that was when iShowSpeed, one of the most popular streamers in the world, or probably the most, I'm not sure,

when he did one of his trips here.

And when he did his stream here, I think that's when that brought way, way, way more attention to what life is like in China.

So it's been interesting to see how Chinese social media is now becoming more open to the Western world.

You're now seeing more and more

Western content creators come to China, create China -based content, and bring more attention to life in China,

as well as all the tourist spots and the food and the cuisine, the culture as well.

now I think that this definitely did a lot of great things

but I think

when a lot of good things happen you always can't forget the bad things as well

and I think this is really the

meat and potatoes of what I want to talk about today

because I kind of want to complain a little bit about this migration of Western people,

including myself, to the app.

So let's talk about Billy Billy.

So Billy Billy went global.

And if you don't know what

Billy is, Bilibili is like the equivalent of YouTube in China.

But listen, I love Bilibili, but Bilibili is a lot smaller than YouTube,

a lot, lot smaller in the sense that it's not the biggest player in China, I would say.

That would probably be Douyin.

Now, Bilibili is considered the YouTube with China because that's generally where long -form content is king.

This is a big issue in China right now because I think a lot of the platforms, they want people to consume more long -form content.

But the attention span is not good.

I believe they say that Asians are the top consumer of short -form content.

And so the attention span is really, really, really low.

In fact, I might think this might be a global thing.

I'm going to the USA this month.

I'll let you know.

But it is very common if you're walking around in China

100

that you'll be hearing a lot of people swiping through short -form social media.

101

So I've noticed a few negatives with the influx of foreign creators coming to the Bilibili platform.

102

And the first thing is, the For You page is a mess.

103

It is a mess.

104

I am used to seeing some great Chinese content.

105

Now I'm seeing people from India.

106

I'm seeing Brazilians.

107

I'm seeing Russians.

108

And I'm not saying I don't like these people.

109

I'm saying that I have no interest in this content.

110

It's just not for me, you know?

111

I like what I like.

112

Like my For You page has been clearly curated to my interest.

113

But now I'm just getting a random Indian guy saying, hello, everybody, welcome.

114

I'm the Indian guy.

115

I'm not going to do an accent, guys, okay?

116

I'm not going to do an accent, right?

117

I know I have Indian fans following me, okay?

118

Don't get me.

119

I'm not going to do an accent.

120

But now it's just like an Indian guy in a city.

121

Or a Brazilian guy from a village, just like, this is my home.

122

And I'm like, cool, but I didn't search for this.

123

Why did you show me this, right?

124

And I think what has happened is that, Billy, the platform has not been really ready for this influx of people coming over.

125

Because one rule of social media is that when a new platform shows up, you want to be an early adopter.

126

because if you can be there early, that means a lot less competition.

127

That means that you could probably go viral earlier.

128

You can accumulate more followers.

129

You can gain a following and hopefully you can monetize as well.

130

And so I think right now, everybody is saying, whoa, new platform.

131

Whoa, YouTube competitor.

132

Let's go, let's go, let's go.

133

But we'll see what happens there.

134

Now, besides the For You page, being a mess, there are still a lot of issues with the localization.

135

And I think this is a really important thing.

136

And I think it is really one of the biggest reasons why a lot of Western companies fail in China

137

because they fail to localize to what Chinese want.

138

In China, things are done differently.

139

Much like where things are done differently in other places as well.

140

But in China, specifically, you really, really, really have to localize.

141

And there are a lot of videos I'm seeing where there are no subtitles, where the thumbnails are written English.

142

Let's get this straight, everybody.

143

And I think this is something that a lot of people need to know is

144

that if you're going to migrate to Chinese social media, it's not like getting on YouTube or Instagram where you get the world.

145

No, it is China only.

146

And a lot, a lot of Chinese, obviously, being the world's second largest population, right?

147

So you really got to find some way to adapt in there, find a niche, or find something that appeals to the Chinese people.

148

Now, with every influx of popular content with new creators comes the bad side of creation as well.

149

And for me, I've also started to see a lot of some content that I'm not a big fan of.

150

You know, politics is always a sensitive subject.

151

But I believe since the influx of a lot more overseas

152

users to the Chinese platforms has then brought the rise of the political content creators talking about politics regarding

153

China and the USA and comparisons of this is bad you are bad, we are better, et cetera, et cetera, from both sides.

154

Now, don't get me wrong.

155

Politics are important, but it's just not my cup of tea.

156

And I also do know that for the most part, that a lot of political content is designed to get you upset,

157

to spark a debate, to rage bait you into leaving a comment.

158

And so sometimes I question the, how do I say this?

159

The intent of some of these creators talking about that stuff.

160

But everybody, the John Pang show is not a political commentary show.

161

We're not going to get into that.

162

I'm just sharing my thoughts.

163

And if you like my thoughts, I appreciate that.

164

Now, the worst type of content creator I'm seeing right now.

165

And you may say I'm being hypocritical.

166

Maybe I am, but hear me out.

167

Ever since China's become popular, ever since Chinese apps have become more open to the Western world,

168

you have a massive influx of people that love China.

169

Oh, that's interesting.

170

All of a sudden, you have the American guy talking about, wow, China is amazing.

171

This food is incredible.

172

Ha ha ha.

173

They don't really believe that.

174

They don't really think it's a great place

175

or they're just here for a short amount of time or they don't think the food is that great.

176

Listen, Chinese food is good, but let's not pretend here that everybody loves every single dish.

177

It is vastly different from, for example, what people would eat in the US on a daily basis.

178

All right.

179

And so you have a certain type of content creator right now,

180

really capitalizing and exploiting on the China popularity trend right now.

181

As an example, there are a lot of advertisers that want to spend money on these types of creators.

182

You'll see it a lot.

183

You go through Red Note and you'll see, wow, this is the best dish I ever had in my entire life.

184

Wow, this Chinese coffee.

185

Wow, we have espresso back in my home country.

186

This is much better.

187

Listen to me.

188

Listen to me.

189

Okay?

190

Are we really going to pretend like a fast food chain of coffee that's probably really,

191

really, really cheap, good, convenient, but let's not pretend it's the highest quality bean here, is better than a high -quality,

192

traditionally roasted coffee or espresso back in your country where coffee is revered in a tradition

193

and has a lot of expertise? and love and passion put into it?

194

No, it's not.

195

For the most people, it's not.

196

And for people that understand coffee culture, it's not.

197

But you know what is delicious?

198

That nice paycheck you're getting.

199

It's always about the money, baby.

200

There is so much content like this right now of foreigners in China talking about how this is amazing, that is amazing.

201

And what's strange to me is that there's also a large audience for this as well, a very large audience for this as well.

202

But I think that, yes, it is interesting to see somebody else from a different place enjoying your culture,

203

absolutely for sure, especially because there is definitely not as many foreigners in China as there used to be.

204

but a few once in a while is one thing but then all of a sudden a lot more than before

205

hundreds more than before people don't speak a word of chinese

206

and all of a sudden that's their whole content

207

now something is a little off don't you think don't you think now

208

there's a lot of good ones as well don't get me wrong for example

209

if you want to follow a great content creator, my friend Sam, a British guy.

210

Hello, governor.

211

Port of water.

212

Sorry, Sam.

213

My friend Sam, this is a guy that has been living in China for a long time, a long, long time, learned Chinese in China,

214

really understands Chinese culture, speaks fluent Chinese, someone that has really embraced the culture, learned the language, and again,

215

has really become Chinese in himself.

216

Now, when I see content like that from people like that, I tend to trust them a bit more,

217

just a bit more validity to their claims, right?

218

But if we're talking about all of a sudden the random person that just got to China today is like,

219

oh my God, the most amazing place ever.

220

Look at this.

221

It's amazing.

222

Clickbait, trying to make money, trying to get views, don't fall for it, okay?

223

It's funny because years ago, years ago, I believe maybe,

224

I'm going to say over eight years ago, six or eight years ago,

225

there was a big backlash actually against foreigners that would use Chinese social media.

226

And that backlash was that there were a few content creators where all their content was, I love China.

227

I love China.

228

I love China.

229

And then there'd be a large amount of people.

230

They have huge following, huge video numbers saying, well, this foreigner is good.

231

He really loves China.

232

How do I know?

233

Because he said it.

234

He said it.

235

This would eventually become what they called a traffic password.

236

In Chinese, that translates to a traffic password.

237

What that means is that if you say these words in a video, you are guaranteed to get good numbers and good traffic.

238

So let's just use that formula.

239

And that went on for a while until literally, I forgot exactly when.

240

And Chinese people were like, no, you don't.

241

You don't love China.

242

You're just trying to capitalize.

243

You're just trying to save these things because you just want to make money.

244

So I think it will be interesting to see where all this goes right now.

245

I think it will be very interesting to see if there will be any backlash or if things might change,

246

which I'm kind of hopeful about as well.

247

Again, I've been living in China for a long time I am Chinese

248

I'm an American -born Chinese But I have family here I've been living here for over 20 years

249

And Recently, China has made it a lot, lot easier for you to travel here visa -free,

250

made it easier for you to get around, made it easier for you to make payments, and that's a big thing.

251

China really needs to work on more acceptance of credit cards because overseas, credit card is king, and they are making it easier.

252

So I am definitely excited about what this holds for the future, that people will come here,

253

see this amazing country, see the sites, judge it for yourself.

254

You like it, you like it, you hate it, you hate it.

255

That's totally fine, but definitely give it a shot.

256

Now, besides all that stuff, besides the political content creators,

257

besides the I love

258

China content creators, there's a few things also that I think has become worse on the Chinese social media side. So, a few things.

259

As more Western content creators are coming to the Chinese side,

260

they are discovering a dark fact of life.

261

And that is, hey, how come when I post my videos on the Chinese side, they get banned right away?

262

Why is it that I'm getting a copyright strike when I posted this all, when I, when I, when I,

263

when I post this, hey, wait a minute.

264

Wait, oh my God.

265

Why is there an account pretending to be me?

266

Why is there an account that's already posted on my videos?

267

Wait a minute.

268

Why is there an account in China that's already put subtitles on my videos.

269

270

And I think even for the average Chinese person, obviously everyone's algorithm is a little different.

271

But if you swipe, you'll notice something.

272

If you swipe and you see a video of someone that doesn't look Chinese speaking English, but there's a lot of subtitles on the video,

273

take a look at the account.

274

It most likely is not the original content creator.

275

It most likely is somebody that stole, yes, stole the video from that person's account

276

and repurposed it to post it on their Chinese social media account for them to get followers

277

and sums and possibly monetize as well.

278

This is a huge issue.

279

And as these Chinese apps are really making a big pull to pull these creators in, something's got to give, right?

280

Because as an example, if you wanted me to come to one of these platforms, for example, the platform contacts me,

281

tells me they have a great plan to get me involved, to an incentive, blah, blah, blah.

282

I'd say, great, fantastic.

283

I look it up.

284

I find all my videos already there.

285

Well, the first thing I'm going to say the platform is, yeah, I will join your platform, but you need to get rid of these channels.

286

You need to delete all of these videos. Is that fair?

287

If you ask me as a content creator, absolutely.

288

If you steal my content, if you download my content, you steal it without my consent,

289

I will get you and I will copyright strike you if the method exists.

290

And this is the big thing.

291

This is the big issue.

292

You see, even on the Western side of social media, this happens all the time as well.

293

But in reality, only YouTube has a true robust tool to really find these copycats,

294

295

I do it weekly because every week, some dumbo is downloading my stuff without my consent,

296

never asked me, and they're downloading my video, repost it.

297

Sometimes they don't even add anything.

298

They don't even app me, and they pretend that they're, oh, I made this original content, or maybe they'll put a few subtitles,

299

to put a caption or some music.

300

Thieves.

301

Thieves.

302

And yes, you, you are a thief if you do this as well.

303

And so what's about to happen is that something has got to give.

304

Because a lot of these

305

Western content creators, especially the big names, are going to realize that on a platform like

306

Billy Billy, Red Note, the ones that are open to them, there's a lot of channels here that have already stolen their content.

307

that have already downloaded it, edited it, added Chinese subtitles to localize it, already gained a massive audience.

308

So what happens from here?

309

Well, that's entirely up to the platform.

310

And if you ask me, yes, I'll have some empathy here.

311

It does suck in a sense if somebody dedicated their time to building a channel,

312

You know, but what doesn't suck is that now if this issue does become a key issue for platforms like

313

Billy Billy to combat piracy, that means that now if these laws get better, if these rules get stricter,

314

the quality of content from everybody gets better because they are now protected.

315

because now these accounts like this that don't have an ounce of creativity can't rely on stealing anymore. But maybe I'm wrong.

316

You tell me what your thoughts are.

317

Let me know.

318

Because prior to Bilibili opening up to the Western world, that's all we had before.

319

It's funny because YouTube is not accessible in China.

320

But a lot of people say, why do I need YouTube?

321

We already have all the YouTube videos here.

322

because there are so many channels on Bilibili that just literally rip the channels from YouTube and post it in China.

323

They repost it.

324

There is literally a channel, I think it's called the best of YouTube on Bilibili.

325

And these channels, I think, are about to find a hard lesson coming up.

326

But we'll see, maybe not.

327

And I think this will be a really key issue to see.

328

Well, if Bilibili wants to go global, well, you got to protect these foreign content creators, right?

329

And perhaps here, that's where the clash will happen. But who's to say?

330

None of my business.

331

But yes, if I do see you're stealing my content, I will strike you down, get your account banned.

332

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

333

Another issue I think is really important.

334

So there's a lot of stuff that you cannot post in China.

335

I'm not going to get into the serious political stuff or that stuff.

336

It is what it is.

337

But one thing that is not available in China, and I have to think about it.

338

I have to think about how I'm about to word this right now.

339

You cannot watch videos of people doing things with each other that adults usually do with each other.

340

Those videos are not available here, okay?

341

They're not available here.

342

You may have your ways.

343

I don't know, but I'm just saying they're blocked.

344

They're banned, okay?

345

And because of that, even the insinuation,

346

for example, if somebody is maybe showing too much cleavage or if they are showing maybe a little bit too much skin,

347

these are easy ways to get your videos censored as well.

348

Not censored, but sometimes just the traffic will get restricted.

349

Or you might get a warning.

350

But I've come to realize, and I don't know when this happened exactly, within the last few years,

351

Chinese social media has gotten a lot spicier, a lot sexier, dare I say.

352

And I am seeing a lot more straight up half nude men or women in my feeds, mostly women.

353

There might be a dude there once in a while, but I get away from that, okay?

354

I don't want to see that, okay?

355

A lot of women.

356

And honestly, in very skimpy outfits, showing a lot of skin, showing a lot of everything.

357

And it wasn't like this before.

358

And I think there's good and bad to this.

359

Now, hear me out.

360

First of all, Instagram has been like this for ages, for ages.

361

And how do I say this by being completely respectful?

362

I will say this.

363

My concern is not about these women and what they're doing.

364

First of all, it's their body.

365

It's their life.

366

They can do whatever they want.

367

I don't care, right?

368

It's not affecting me in any negative way.

369

It's not hurting me.

370

And it's not against the law, I think.

371

I'm not sure.

372

My concern is this.

373

It wasn't as prevalent as it is right now.

374

And I think the biggest issue is that young people are on these apps.

375

and if a 11 -year -old girl sees that type of content of somebody being overtly sexual,

376

showing a lot of skin,

377

possibly getting money in the shape of gifts from a live stream or from a video or tips or,

378

hey, maybe from private messages and stuff offline as well or, I don't know, outside the app.

379

What precedent does that set for then these younger girls when they see content like that?

380

Is it a good thing?

381

Is it a bad thing?

382

I don't know if I am qualified to talk exactly about that.

383

You know, I believe very much in, of course, a woman's right to express herself,

384

a man's right as well to express herself any way they want.

385

There's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

386

And again, in the West, we have the rise of many different types of platforms and ways to make money that way.

387

But all I'm saying is that it has gotten a lot worse in China the last few years.

388

Way worse than it used to be.

389

And I don't know if this is a restriction of the rules.

390

I don't know if it's that culture is changing.

391

Because remember, again, this is usually the younger generation now.

392

You have to remember that

393

China has changed dramatically recently, whereas China used to be more traditional and conserved and quieter.

394

Now it's becoming a new age, a new generation of people that are more exposed and more and whatnot.

395

And so now the newer generation now wants to express themselves in many different ways.

396

And I think that's a beautiful thing.

397

Again, my only concern is that if a younger girl or boy sees these things, how does that affect them?

398

How does that affect their mindset?

399

How does that affect their thoughts towards their futures?

400

I'm not saying that's a bad future.

401

I'm just saying that is it the best choice?

402

I don't know.

403

Not for me to say.

404

I can say that my opinion is that it can be easy.

405

In fact, there are creators like that, man and woman, that make a lot of money,

406

a lot of money, showing a lot of skin and things like that.

407

But because it's an easy way, it can be easy.

408

I'm not going to say it's an easy thing, but it's a low barrier to entry is the best way for me to say,

409

because anyone with a phone can do it.

410

It's a low barrier to entry.

411

I just wanted to end up where that becomes a norm

412

and possibly like one of the first choices to pursue something like that.

413

Now, I might be wrong in what I'm saying, and I apologize if I offend anyone with what I'm talking about right now,

414

but it is a concern I have, and that's all.

415

That's all.

416

Especially because you have to understand that me being here and trying to notice these things, I am seeing the trend change a lot.

417

And of course, you can tell me what your thoughts are in the comments, All right.

418

And keep it civil.

419

Now, what are my thoughts on Chinese social media going forward?

420

You know, they talk a lot about Chinese apps and,

421

for example, not having these other apps available in China, right?

422

You know, you can't easily access Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, et cetera, et cetera.

423

You have these homegrown platforms.

424

On one aspect of it, yes, it is a sense of, you know, not being able to access something.

425

But I also do believe that,

426

in a sense, too, it does allow these platforms to really build a base and become a player in the market.

427

So with the case of Billy Billy Billy Billy is not a YouTube knockoff.

428

No way.

429

It is very different in a way in a lot of ways.

430

It has a large focus on anime and gaming.

431

It is a lot more niche in a sense and if you really are interested in long -form content about China

432

that's a platform for you.

433

Can it be a competitor with YouTube?

434

I hate to say it, but I don't think anyone can be a competitor with YouTube, especially when it comes to monetization,

435

pay, and also making a living out of doing it.

436

But, again, competition is always a good thing.

437

It is always good to have another player out there, and we'll see.

438

These are just some thoughts and the pros and the cons I've had about Chinese social media recently.

439

And for you, if you're watching right now, it doesn't matter if it's about China or any other country.

440

You can tell me about the things I've talked about today.

441

What are your thoughts?

442

What do you think about what I said today?

443

Please let me know.

444

I'd love for you to share your thoughts and feedback with me, okay?

445

Now, man, I just realized I say now a lot.

446

Let's talk about something else right now.

447

So again, if you're just with us right now, our format generally is as follows.

448

So we have a main subject for the channel.

449

We have a main subject for each episode.

450

And then I kind of talked about how my day has been going recently.

451

And sometimes answers some of your questions as well.

452

And I want to say to everybody that the John Pang show is growing fast.

453

And I'm growing as well.

454

I'm still learning so much right now, especially about how to grow the channels,

455

how to reformat content, how to market in different ways and sometimes I feel like, man, I just don't have enough time,

456

but I'll tell you what, everybody, seeing the growth of the podcast has been incredible and in a lot of ways has really

457

reignited my passion for creating content.

458

And the fact that you can watch me or listen to me talk for an hour is insane.

459

You're insane.

460

I'm insane.

461

We're insane together.

462

And I am just so thankful and so blessed to have you here with me.

463

Okay.

464

Uh, every week when, sorry, let me sit up a little bit.

465

Every week, every week when we launch our episode on the Chinese side,

466

our episode is generally in the top 10 of rising episodes or new creators of the week or month.

467

And it's a very exciting feeling.

468

It's a very validating experience.

469

We're still working on the Western side with YouTube and Spotify and Apple, but it takes time.

470

It takes time.

471

Sometimes I look at the success of some of these huge podcast channels

472

and I forget that they've been doing this for years.

473

This is only episode 11.

474

So we still have some time.

475

So, recently I went traveling.

476

It's been a while.

477

I recently went to a city called Changsha in China, in the Hunan province.

478

And I got to say, the food was fantastic.

479

Very nice city.

480

Very cool place.

481

If you've never traveled to China before, there's a few destinations you have to go to.

482

Shanghai, Beijing, Chengdu.

483

Some people would say Shenzhen.

484

I think Shenzhen has become more popular recently.

485

I don't really know what you would do in Shenzhen.

486

I guess you could see like robots and tech and the fake electronic market.

487

Not fake, the cheap electronic market, whatever you want to call it, okay?

488

I believe that's also where every stolen iPhone in the world eventually goes to die.

489

Okay, so you can go see if you can find your iPhone that you lost or that got stolen from years ago.

490

But Changsha is a really cool place.

491

Hunan food, if you don't know, is spicy.

492

And I love it.

493

I feel like Hunan cuisine, if you don't know, is very spicy and usually like a light oily spicy,

494

a lot of stir -fried spicy, and a lot of like dry spicy.

495

Whereas to me, like food from Chengdu or Sichuan, if you're American, you probably say Sichuan,

496

like Sichuan cuisine, what they called in like Los Angeles.

497

To me, Sichuan cuisine is more oily spicy.

498

and Hunan's more dry spicy.

499

If you are from any of these places, if you're Chinese, I'm getting it wrong.

500

Sorry, sorry, my bad.

501

That's just how I feel about it, okay?

502

But I gotta say, Hunan cuisine on top of white rice,

503

oh, like a stir -fried pork in some chilies.

504

Ooh, wait.

505

The best dish I had there, I can't believe I'm going to say this.

506

Literally, stir -fried eggs.

507

Stir -fried, like, boiled eggs, not like scrambled eggs.

508

Stir -fried eggs in, like, a chili sauce, chili pepper, like a little crunchy on top of rice.

509

This is one of the best dishes I've ever had in my own life.

510

I didn't realize eggs could taste so good, especially stir -fried fantastic really amazing but my main complaint with Changsha China

511

holy beep

512

so many people so so many people my friends

513

if you never travel to China before okay there are two times you definitely do not want to travel.

514

Do not travel during national holiday, which is generally during October, and spring festival, which is generally like in February.

515

These are the world's largest migration of people because there's Chinese people traveling everywhere domestically in China.

516

And if you go there, there is a term in Chinese called 人山人海, which is people mountain, people see,

517

which means people, as far as the eye could see, packed like sardines.

518

And I don't know what it was, the time I went to Hunan this time, I think it's because it was the end of summer vacation,

519

like the last vacation time, kids are out.

520

There were so, so, so many people there.

521

It was insane.

522

I can't believe how many people were there.

523

so packed so crowded i i for me i i think

524

because i i'm a content creator because i i create

525

so much content i kind of sometimes prefer like more like low key

526

and chill this was just way too many people but aside from

527

that really cool place it's definitely like a a city

528

that even like at three o 'clock in the morning there are still like families walking

529

and like eating at restaurants really cool, really interesting.

530

But anyways, you can all tell me what is another place I could travel to in China, okay?

531

All right, ladies and gentlemen, that does it for another episode of The John Pang Show.

532

Remember, everybody, please like the video, like the podcast, like the audio.

533

Please subscribe.

534

The most important thing you can do for me, everybody, please leave a comment.

535

Watch a little longer, but definitely leave a comment for me.

536

When you leave a comment for me, when you like it, commenting is better.

537

Liking is okay, but when you leave a comment, that type of engagement really helps the podcast.

538

And then from there, I will also try my best to respond to you as well.

539

That helps me grow.

540

And I am trying to be a top podcast.

541

I need your help.

542

So if you generally like me, you like my stuff, please share your support.

543

I'd appreciate it.

544

With that said, thanks again, and I'll see you next time.

545

Bye.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
