British-Australian living in China 🇨🇳 | Showing you the real China, media lies & geopolitics | What it is like to live in this amazing country. Read more 👇
People's Republic of China
Joined April 2021
🇨🇳 From fear to love, an Australian teacher's journey of discovery in China #Xinhua News recently captured a glimpse of my life here in China, where I’ve found not just a place to live, but a true home. Moving from the #UK, spending years in #Australia, to settling in China with my wife and daughter, this journey has been transformative. The video reflects on my first visit in 2015 and the drastic differences between media narratives and reality. Western media often paints China in a negative light, but my experience tells a very different story. The people here are accommodating, polite and welcoming. The quality of life, the rapid technological advancements and the opportunities for my family have exceeded anything I could have imagined. #China is leading globally in technology, electric vehicles (#EV), battery innovation and scientific patents. The sheer convenience of life here, from lightning-fast deliveries to access to cutting-edge tech, is unrivalled. It’s a place where I feel safer, where education options for my daughter are excellent and where the future feels bright. Granted, China isn’t perfect, no country is, but it’s a nation that recognises its areas for improvement and takes meaningful steps to address them. I am incredibly grateful to @XHNews for the chance to meet with them and see my feelings portrayed in this wonderful video. This video was the result of my article titled: “China Unveiled: How Moving East Shattered My Western Illusions”, which was published on Pearls and Irritations Journal. It was a marvellous experience to have my writing recognised and transformed into a visual story. Thank you! I urge others not to blindly believe what they hear in Western #media, because after experiencing it and meeting others from across this nation doing the same, it most certainly isn't the nation many believe it to be. Come experience #China yourself. Like me, you might just find a place that feels like home. via @YouTube
Over 10 years ago, Australian man James Wood @commiepommie couldn't have imagined the life that he has today. "I plan to live in China long term," he said in an interview with Xinhua, noting that his personal experience in China has shattered negative preconceptions he once had

Just when you thought American corruption couldn’t get any worse! 💰💵💸 According to Elon Musk, the U.S. Treasury Department is handing out over $100 billion annually in welfare benefits to people whose identities are completely unknown! No Social Security Numbers, no temporary IDs, just billions thrown into the wind. Musk himself called it “utterly absurd” and demanded immediate action. Apparently, about half of this staggering amount could be blatant fraud, equating to $50 billion a year or $1 billion a week lost to potential scams. And while this financial circus continues, a federal judge has issued an injunction to temporarily stop Musk’s “Department of Government Efficiency“ from accessing sensitive Treasury data, citing “irreparable harm.” Meanwhile, the White House labels this judicial interference as “judicial overreach“ by a “radical” judge. Is this the government Americans are supposed to trust with their tax dollars? The U.S. enjoys criticising other nations, especially China. Yet, such a scenario would be highly unlikely in China due to stringent government control, extensive technology and systems which discourage fraud, ensuring welfare benefits are distributed only to verified citizens with minimal room for corruption. The U.S. could learn a thing or two about governance from China, in light of this debacle.

🚨 BREAKING: BRICS Nations Could Reduce Dependency on US Market Within 4 Years In a recent social media post, former US President Donald Trump threatened a 100% tariff on BRICS countries unless they refrain from creating a new currency or supporting alternatives to the USD. However, the impact of losing access to the US market is diminishing as global trade diversifies. In 2022-2023, BRICS trade with the US was around $1.05 trillion, with a significant trade surplus mainly driven by China. The threat of tariffs might not be as daunting for most BRICS countries due to their economic complementarity, allowing them to find substitutes for the US market. Key trade figures show: Brazil: Imports machinery, aircraft, chemicals and agricultural products from the US; exports oil, iron ore, soybeans and aircraft parts. Russia: Exports oil, metals and fertilisers; imports have significantly decreased due to sanctions. India: Exports textiles, pharmaceuticals, gems and IT services; imports aircraft, machinery and chemicals. China: Dominates with 73% of BRICS exports to the US, mainly electronics; imports aircraft, machinery and semiconductors. China has been strategically diversifying its trade, focusing on strengthening ties with ASEAN, Africa and the Middle East. This has led to China’s trade with the Global South surpassing that with developed economies in 2024. By leveraging its manufacturing prowess, China continues to expand its economic influence globally, reducing its dependency on any single market, including the US. However, the US’s approach with tariffs seems counterproductive. Instead of fostering global economic integration, the tariff threats could push BRICS countries towards de-dollarisation, inadvertently weakening the USD’s global position. The focus on punitive measures rather than collaborative trade agreements might isolate the US from emerging markets, potentially leading to higher inflation and economic disruption at home. The article suggests that BRICS countries could adapt to losing the US market in 3-4 years, depending on their trade diversification, dependency on the US and overall growth rates. China, with its high dependency, might take longer, while countries like Ethiopia and UAE, with high growth and low dependency, could adapt faster. This shift could accelerate de-dollarisation, challenging the dominance of the USD.

🔥 DeepSeek & China’s AI Scene is Shaking Up the World! 🌍🇨🇳 DeepSeek, a Chinese AI startup, is making waves beyond Silicon Valley, challenging tech giants and causing a stir in Wall Street. A key engineer, Zizheng Pan, who once interned at NVIDIA, chose to return to China to join DeepSeek when it was just a three-person team. His decision paid off as he played a pivotal role in projects like DeepSeek-VL2, V3 and R1, which have since outperformed established models like OpenAI’s, often at a fraction of the cost. V3 Model was trained for just $5.58 million, a testament to efficient resource use. R1 Model matches the performance of OpenAI’s o1 but at 1/30th the price per million tokens. This showcases how China’s approach to AI development, focusing on innovation over sheer scale, is paying dividends. The success of DeepSeek not only highlights China’s robust AI talent pool but also underscores the trend of top Chinese AI professionals choosing to develop their careers back home, driven by lower living costs, proximity to family and significant roles early in their careers. Graham Allison, a noted political scientist, pointed out that the U.S. might need to rethink its strategies for attracting and retaining such talents. With China producing nearly half of the world’s top AI researchers, it’s clear that the future of AI innovation might just be more balanced than we thought. @zizhpan What a great decision you made. Congratulations! 🎉
