  1. Hi Eric, i am also a first time viewer, and also have been living in China for many years, although i do not vlog (probably too old, lol). I agree with virtually all that you say, other then to add some words which i believe are your opinion, being descriptions. Workers throughout China, unlike the west, live in dormitory style accomodation at their workplace, which basically comprises a bed and some common area for relaxation. As to whether it is good or not is a matter of opinion, and may well compare to living conditions in their hometowns. They work long days, from early morning until late at night in many industries, and will generally have the ability to save their salaries which are also generally paid monthly in arrears, much of which is sent home. As long as these workers feel comfortable in their accomodation, then it is fine. There are standards which must be maintained, which are always being followed through by the Shenzhen workers administration, as are wage levels. All in all, China is not utopia and certainly not hell, and yes, there are many varieties of birds, even sparrows, lol. I enjoy living here because the people are friendly and it is not expensive, and therefore can live a comfortable modest lifestyle.

  2.  @Eric_Garrison  you're right he is 60, but unfortunately i am older then he is, even though we may look about the same age. I ocassionally drop a video onto YouTube more for information purposes rather then to achieve an audience, showing reality in China without biased or unbiased comment.
