Wrapping up my Trip to China! What You Need to Know!

sharing the images with you right here. So here is the Bund at night here. Of course, if you notice, there are a lot of people over here. So of course they all come to watch this view because it's beautiful here. This is the— you saw it during the daytime, but I decided to come at night here as I do a wrap-up for my trip right here to mainland China. So, uh, there is a lot of people here, so That reminds me of last year when I came during the holiday. So it was in October, the first week of October is a national holiday, and you have about 500 million people moves around in China to celebrate their national holiday. So once again, take a look at the boat. I'm gonna take you closer so you can see the boat over there. That's the boat passing right here. So usually they do excursion at night night itself, you can ride it and it goes over the river all the way to the other side, like I explained to you last time during daytime. So, so this is the view of the most famous part of Shanghai. Of course, it is the financial district here. And do you guys know that Shanghai is one of the top financial hubs in the world? So a lot of people do not know. Hong Kong is another one as well. So, all right, let me move into this direction here, and I'm gonna just clear share this here because there are too many people here and I want to show you some other stuff. So I'm gonna be walking around. So what I'm gonna be talking to you today is just basically a wrap-up of my trip. It comes to an end tomorrow. So, but before I'll do this, once again, and, and that's how I was brought up, to be grateful, to be thankful. So I'll take this opportunity to say thank you to the community for making this trip happen. Without you, I won't be here. I also take this opportunity to once again express my sincere thanks to the special donor who really come in to the last minute with a substantial, uh, support. And I'm very, very grateful. If I ever get the permission to disclose the name, I will do it, but for now we leave it as is. So, so I'm making my way to the main street. So I cross over the, the, the, uh, the, the main street to get to Nanjing Street East, which is main where the shops are. And I'll show because nighttime here is completely different than daytime. So you're gonna— I'm gonna take you into some quarters within Nanjing Street so you'll see. This is, uh, what you're looking at right now is the other side of the main view for here in Shanghai. So I'm showing you the left side on here, and once again, this is the famous tower and the needle, of course. Oh, she also— this one here, and So there we go. So basically, this is what I'm going to be addressing for you. So I want to wrap this up with giving my view as to in comparison to where I saw China last year, where I see it this year, and what I have seen so far. So I'll start from the main event, the V-Day parade. As I mentioned, it was a major event that China sort of understood that it is now or never to send that global message. And it did, because if the West doesn't get it, it's probably intentionally. So that's all it is, the reason for itself. And I am saying this against the backdrop of exactly what the United States just did by announcing through the State Department as far as what China is doing in the Shoal regarding the South China Sea. So basically, what the United States is doing, it just wanted to aggravate the Chinese even further, more than we have to, which we don't need to anyway. So, but again, when I go back to that V-Day parade and what I saw, it was very, very, very loud and clear message, in my opinion. Now, the question will be is how the West is going to react to that development. Of course, one of the US ambassadors stated that, oh, all that technology is stolen. And I kind of like, I have to disagree with the ambassador's, uh, uh, assessment or assertion because that technology was innovation, no more, no less. And it showed. So look, look, guys, look how many people are here. That's just the norm here for the ban. Attention visitors, due to heavy crowds, please keep moving and avoid stopping to take photos. Yeah, they're asking people to keep moving because it is, it is too crowded here. As I said, uh, people not only from Shanghai but from other parts of China, they come over here to, uh, see this particular— the Bund— that is the Bund, uh, because it's, it's, it's, it's one of the famous locations here in Shanghai. So, uh, I'm going to show you the— once again, that's the Central Bank China that I disclosed to you last time. Okay, and I'm just trying to clear up here so I can move out. Oh, sorry, sorry. Yeah, there are too many people here and I'm just trying to clear this up so I can move out to Nanjing Street. So, and I'll show you, uh, certain, uh, certain shops and what's going on with the displays at night. It's very, very pretty what you see. You don't get to see it unless you are here because that's the only display at night. That wasn't me. So as I said again, that was one of the highlights for me, and I knew I was coming over here, just to let you know. But you all understand how it is. You don't— as far as the trip in itself to Beijing, I kind of made the arrangements for that without disclosing that one. And also not because I didn't want to share it with you, but I rather wanted to make it a surprise for you all. And I am glad I did it that way. So, so I'm glad I did that. And once again, just to— I was very sorry, I was very impressed with what I saw in in the V-Day parade because it was, it was a major, major event in terms of the precision of not only the march, but of the formation, that is, but also the display of the hardware, which China sort of, sort of reached that point. Now look at the— what you're looking at straight across the street, that's Nanjing Street East. So we're going to be walking all the way down once I cross. And if you notice here, there are so many people around here. And that's one thing I like about Chinese, they all come together. No, I won't show you, I won't show you, don't worry, I won't show you. So, so this is one thing you need to— I tend not to show people on the screen, so they're very shy, camera shy people. So all right, let's cross over, then I'll, uh, I'll continue the conversation here. I have to pay attention as to where I'm stepping in here because Uh, there are some steps. I have to pay attention, you know, I don't want to drop here or fall. So, all right, let's cross here, and I'm gonna take this advantage by standing in the middle of the road because they block the cars and everything. And just to show you, this is the other side of the Bund here, which you see, they stopped traffic here. And I'm gonna turn to the right and share that side with you right there. So be waiting for people to cross and they will allow traffic to move forward. So they're like, please move on. So, uh, I'm going to go on the left side here and just, uh, explain few things as I move forward. So to go back to my topic about the V-Day parade, once again, it's— it was very impressive in my humble opinion. It's because it's also As I said last time, and I did mention this one, I'm not going to be repeating exactly what I told you last time, except to say that it is time now for China to show really its progress. When I say show it, Chinese culture tends to be very quiet about things. The West is misinterpreting that as like some sort of, I don't know, I don't know, intimidation. I don't know. It's kind of being just— why they misinterpret that. And I think to me it makes more sense if given the tensions that the US keeps pushing, China will have to demonstrate to them that, you know what, if you want to cooperate, we can cooperate with you. But if you want a conflict, we are ready for it. And we all know, you guys know, that we stand no chance if there is a major armed conflict with China. It's a reality. I'm not saying something you do not know. We've talked about it so many times. And it behooves— because our system not only is fragmented and broken and corrupted, but we don't even have any strategies in place to deal with this sudden change on the global stage, you know. And that's why I put in the title, you know, China's the Future. I guess I got cut off first because just the communication, that is. And that is the reason why I had to redo that one again. Thank you. So, okay, it's getting less crowded here. I'm gonna move on the side here. And it's just, uh, and again, this is nighttime life here. It's very, very crowded till about, uh, almost midnight. That's just the norm here. People from all, from all walks of life here, they're coming from different parts of China, not just to the Shanghai here. So, so to go back to that point about the US and China and so forth, Now I don't quite understand why the US will have now to agitate the Chinese regarding what China wants to do is preserve an area in the, in the Shoal in the South China Sea. And yet we're gonna now trigger more tensions with the Chinese. Look at this. This is a traditional way So I just want to show you this. I'm gonna walk you through the food court here to show you what they have. So all the type of food you can even imagine. Look at this one here. This is chicken. This is the beef, I think. Uh, sorry, sorry, this is squid. And this one is, uh, I don't even know what that is, the yellow one. Do you know what this is? What is it? Is it corn? I would not know. Oh, this gentleman here is going to help me out with the translation of the word. So I'm trying to see because I want you to know what this yellow Yellow tank is— oh, oh, oh, it's potatoes. Potatoes. Thank you very much. So they cut them up and that's how they do it. So you got the squids and all the type of delicacies here. If you notice, their skewers are very long, so it's not a short ones here. So, so I'm gonna keep walking here on this side and go around. This is a stand for drinks. That's where they make fresh drinks. This is pineapple. Uh, I don't know what the white one is, but what is this one? What is it? I can't read Chinese, I'm sorry. No, no, thank you. I, I can't buy anything here, guys, because my hands are not free, but I just want to show you. Look at all the stands for fresh fruit. And by the way, I've been eating a lot of fruit here. You may ask why. It's because fruit here is not, is not spread with pesticides like we do back in the States. So I've been eating so much fresh fruit, no issues whatsoever. So this is the cane sugar, that's where they make the drink out of it. So Uh, let me move on here. And I think because where things are here as far as farming is very, very, very different. So let me show you this side here and I'll, I'll go out and finish the conversation. This is where you have the noodles with beef or with pork. You can either have— you can either have a noodle here or you can have it with rice. So that's what they do. This is the famous— you all know what this is, right? You can't be in China without eating this. That's the famous dumpling that is known right here. Look at the, the trays of veggies. Everything is served with veggies here. So very, very, very interesting. You wonder why they are— they don't have to worry about health issues and so forth. And that is one of the reasons why I ate a lot of fruit here. Sometimes I eat those dishes, I buy just veggies, a plate of veggies, and I'll buy a skewer with either mutton, which means lamb, or beef. Squid, I didn't try it this time. I tried it last year in Taipei, when I was in Taipei. This is more big size of dumpling right here. Those are the huge size of dumpling. And that's the tray they serve you with, the 6 packs of the dumpling here. So, all right, let me move out here. And I don't want to show people's faces here because out of respect, as always. Oh, sorry, sorry. This is the other side of where they have all the dishes here. Look at the— on the wall they have the separate you can just tell them which one you want, they'll make it for you. This is not pre-made. You can see the fresh noodles are right here. See, the steam is coming out. And but those are the samples right here. All this they provide you. You, you pick your dish, you pay for it. This is the shrimp, this is the beef, uh, I think this one is pork, this is mushroom, and I think this is spinach, the green one here, and this is, uh, sprout if I'm not mistaken. And of course with lettuce over there. It is another tray of either white noodles or regular noodles here. You serve them with this, with the skewer here. You pick 2 or 3, whatever, how many you want. They have the other one. You can have them in a tray or you can have them on a plate with pasta. Most people here buy They got a tray and they put the skewer on them, like 5 or 4. So, hello! Yeah, they're saying hi to me. Uh, I don't know what this is. Uh, oh, oh, oh, it's a tofu! This is one type of tofu they provide here. So, and this is the skewer for lamb, I think, or beef. That's the one he's making. Let me show you this side here. Yeah, this is the, uh, it looks like to me like mini dumplings, and I'm not sure, but I'm just guessing here. So this is the almost like the equivalency of chicken nuggets. Those here are shrimp. I had some a few days ago. I tried some. They're very, very delicious because they are fresh. They cooking stuff fresh. So that's a nice skewer. So this is— here's the uncooked squid. Yeah, so they can cook this for you if you feel like it. He's cooking one right here. And the last one is this one here. So all the dishes here that you have, and this one here is pasta with chicken and soup. All right, let me step outside here and, uh, I'm gonna continue my walk on the other side. This is another location, it's the same like what you saw earlier, so I'm not gonna go back in. It's the same type of food they have here. Once again, if you notice, uh, people going in different directions and everybody's going to the Bund because you can't be in Shanghai without going to the Bund. That's, uh, and, and it is my belief that's majority. Yo, are you a basketball player? No, no, no, he's not. This guy is so tall I thought he was a basketball football player. And he's like, no, I'm not. So, uh, let me— I'm getting closer to the area where I will show you some displays on the wall. That's what they have. So, and again, everybody going to the other direction. I'm going the opposite direction because I've been at the Bund, so I'm, I'm going the other direction there. And this is, of course, once again, you are at Nanjing Street, East Nanjing. There is West— East and West Nanjing. This is the famous dragon right there. A lot, a lot of people go inside, take pictures, and I think I showed you this last time. So, all right, let's keep continuing our conversation. So as I mentioned, and I'm gonna move to something else, so, uh, just to wrap that, that part of that That conversation regarding the V-Day parade, then I'm going to talk about the infrastructure and so forth. And again, this is where I see the difference as to China at a stage now where it can display its power, its progress, its technological advances and so forth. And rightly so, because they can't be timid about it. And they're not like bragging about it. That. They just— they earned it. Simple as that. This is one thing we are having a hard time accepting. Let me show you here, guys, some— this is, I think, for types of tea. All the type of teas you can think of, it's right here. Look at all these types of teas. You know, I have a— I have 2 bags of teas, they were given to me as a gift. So, so I have enough. Hello! I don't want to show you on the camera if it's okay with you. So, so, you know, I just— I'm, I'm, uh, they are very sensitive to this and I am also. Uh, Chinese people are a little bit shy. They don't want to just show their faces on a camera unless they give you permission. In that case, you can do that. So once again, if you notice the amount of people coming in here, so that's just part of where everything here, uh, this area here. If you recall, I was here last year and that's where I had my first dumpling, right here. It was in this area here when I did my first one. So I'm gonna walk you through it quickly. And, uh, once again, it's the same. They have the stand for the, the, the drinks, the, the fruits, yogurts on the other side. Uh, this is egg ice cream. I don't know if you ever heard of it or not. Look at that. This is a covered area. Yeah, yeah, you can hear the music. This is a lot of Westerners hang out here. I can see, uh, actually, yeah, majority about— hi, how are— I, I can't, I am with my community, I won't be able to see, but thank you very much, appreciate it, thank you very much. This is it. So a lot of— I would say 80% Westerners 20% are Chinese in this particular location. This is the name of it, it's German Restaurant. So that is, uh, I wish I would have find out about it because of course beside beer you can have some Reuben sandwich here. Hello! Yeah, see the Chinese people just saying hi and be cool about it. Look at the other side of this, this is a circle like roundabout. You can sit here, have a drink or whatever, and that's it, chilling out in an orderly fashion. They have security everywhere. There's one walking towards me here, towards the area, that is. So, and, uh, that is that part of the ceiling that I showed you earlier. All right, let's walk back out. And so I think the, the V-Day 2025 will be in the history books forever. It's because none of us— I speak for myself— I did not expect it to be that perfect, 100% perfect. It tells me two things. It tells me how much the time and training dedicated to that And it tells me also about the progress they have achieved, that they are now able to display it right there in the open. So, and I'm glad I was able to be here. Uh, I know the first time we did the live stream, the sound was off. I, I, uh, I bear the responsibility for that. You know, this is what happened to me when I don't use the, the street live streams more often, so I kind of forget certain things. But in any event, the second time I went in, it was even better because I was able to be on the square exactly. So this one here is, I think, the sweets. Yes, they have shops for sweets as well, ice cream and all the other— you know, this is what you— I'm not gonna walk in here, guys. I just want to show you all the sweets they they have. That's the type they have here. And we're walking all the way down in Nanjing Street East. So, uh, what I want to show you, I want to show you one particular location where I already went in and asked about an EV, and this EV cost about $40,000. I already asked and talked to the manager about it, but it's a sporty vehicle. And that's something like that in the US, you'll be looking at a minimum of $85,000. And that is one of the reasons why we are adamant about not allowing Chinese EVs access to US market. Hey, why? Because the cars are affordable. I mean, the $40,000 I'm talking to you about This is like the sporty stuff or whatever. An average person here in China can afford a $15,000 BYD that has top-notch tech gadgets in it, very reliable, and no issues whatsoever. $15,000. So, so to me, the idea that if Americans are exposed to the Chinese EVs back in the US, They will. I think it will be a win-win, literally, if only America can think strategically. What do I mean by this? It's by allowing the Chinese vehicles in coordination with the Chinese corporations back. They can sort of display their vehicles and sell them in the US markets and so forth, and they can split up the profits and so forth. So that's to me, it will be a win-win. And I don't know why, of course, We don't think strategic, uh, long term. We think the next quarter. That's usually how we do. Look at just how our politics is and how confused, how confused that is because we don't think long term anyway. So, so I'm getting closer here to that shop where it is. This is one of the displays on the wall I want to show you. Of course, advertisements and so forth. So, uh, and that is one of the reasons why I am thinking in terms of, yeah, why not? But we kind of shooting ourselves in the foot. You look at the reliability on some of our vehicles, you know, I'm not saying all of them are bad, that's not what I'm saying. There are some models that are good, but majority you can't count on that, let alone the price. When I went to DJI and asked about those equipments, the drones and all that stuff, it was half price of what it costs in the United States. So I'm gonna get in in a store here, and I know exactly where the car is. I'll show it to you quickly and get out. All right, I already talked to the manager here. Look at that, look at the floor, guys, how clean that is. So, so here is the vehicle. That's the one right here. This one here is $40,000. So I'm going to go inside and show you, uh, because I talked to the manager here and he said just come over. All right, we're going to go for a ride. Oh, I, I just was teasing him and he got nervous. It's okay. So check out this one here, guys, and, uh, look how spacious in the back. For me, I'm 6'3" and I can sit comfortably here. Look, look at the, the, the— I'm going to go to the other side just for you to see. Yo, yo, yo, hold up, hold it, hold it. I'm gonna get in because I am on a video here, and you can come after me. Is that okay? Thank you very much. This is the type of steering wheel they have. This is one that is oval, and you got two dashboards here. One of them, I think it deals with— you can, you can program all this, which is voice activated. And you get the main, uh, the main, uh, what you call them, the— not a dashboard, but where you have the display of navigations and all that stuff here. Look how sleek this stuff is here. Incredible, incredible. Come on in, man. Come on in. Thank you, thank you very much. So a lot of people want to have pictures of this car here. Watch your leg, watch your leg. Check it out here, guys. Look, I didn't mean to cut in front of him, so I just wanted to— so this is the model. It's electric, of course. Let me show you the name here. And I'm not doing advertisement for them, I'm just showing you the newer model here. $40,000. Look at the wheels here. Those are, uh, I think, uh, 21-inch if I'm not mistaken. Yeah, and the color is so sleek. So anyway, I just wanted to show you an incredible car for $40,000. Here's another one here. So, and a lot of Chinese are getting into buying more, more Chinese vehicles because it's reliable, it's the way it is, uh, technologically advanced and so forth. All right, let me step outside and continue my walk. Okay, I don't think so. I have to stop here. You can cross once they have the red light over there. You can cross here. So, uh, this is the main— another main area which is— goes contradictory to, uh, where the Bande is on the other direction. But if you go the other side you'll end up near the park. So I'll show you the streets. It goes all the way out to the end there. So it's the main, main traffic. This is like the display for all advertisements and so forth. So, and see, everybody has to wait. You can't cross the street. I do admire them, they respect the law. I've seen sometimes one or two will cross the street or one of them will throw the cigarettes, the butt, in the street. But one in a thousand, so it's not a big deal, not a big deal. So this is more advertisements for housekeeping stuff. Oh, does he want to be— you want to be on the camera? You want to say hi? I want to ask your permission first. You want to say hi? No, no, no, no, no. He's shy. He's shy. It's okay, it's okay. He's shy a little bit. Little boy. No worries, no worries. So, and as I said, once you ask permission, usually people here in China will tell you it's okay. But you don't just go and show their faces on a, on a camera. So, so look at everybody's waiting before you cross. And here we go, everybody's gonna cross. I'm gonna stand right here and show you. Just everybody's going one direction here, and on the other side, people going on the other side. So I'm going the wrong direction here, but it's okay, it's okay. So, and they'll wait, of course, till it turns red and everybody stops. So orderly fashion. So And here is what I wanted to show you. They're already doing the iPhone display. Why? Because there is a big Apple Store here. I went in a couple times to check on a few things, and, uh, I found out— guess what I found out, guys? If I wanted to upgrade the phone here in China, guess how much it's gonna cost me? $166. You know how much it costs in the US? I mean, it's ridiculous, but that is exactly what they have here. So $166. The only problem with it is I won't be able to use the eSIM, uh, for it because it won't work in the US. The same thing if I buy Huawei, I won't be able to use YouTube on it. I cannot upload certain things but not everything. I asked about that one and that's what they told me, because that store where I was, where the, the, the vehicle is— hello— that's where the Huawei company is. It belongs to Huawei. That's where they have the phones and all that. All right, let's keep walking here. And as I wrap up the stuff— hello. So this is the Apple Store right there. It's always packed. Sometimes I come here in the morning, guys, really right here because there's a train, a metro station. I come here, have a cup of coffee and some croissant or something, and I just sit down here quietly in the morning. There's nobody here before it gets, it gets crazy. So, so, uh, that's about it about the V-Day parade. Now let me talk to you about the infrastructure in China and why China is investing in its infrastructure, something I really, really wish, wish the Washington will even consider into investing our tax dollars in something that can benefit the average American citizen. So this is the difference between— I want to show you, I want to show you this one here. Look how clear this one here, man. Wow. Yeah, they have like this big billboards, uh, they'll display everything from both sides, uh, Levi's and all the other products there and so forth. So Uh, so the idea to go back to the infrastructure, and why am I saying this? I had a chance now to ride the speed train more than once, and I don't need to go business class on it because business class is a higher end. I don't need to. I just get a second class like everybody else, and it's as comfortable as it gets. Literally, you will think you are on a plane. And I'm saying to myself, how come we don't even have a SP train that can, uh, you know, I'm in Texas, why we don't have anything that can connect the big cities? Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Austin, and so forth. So where is our tax dollars is going? And this is when you realize the difference between a country that is investing in its own domestic infrastructure to uplift the economic well-being of its citizens and a government that wastes waste our tax dollars like ours, sending it to corrupt Ukraine. I don't shy away about saying these things. And it's nothing new to you guys. I've said this before and I will keep saying it because the truth matters. You know, you will hope some corrupted politician will listen to this video and say, "They don't want Americans to know about the advancements and progress that has been achieved here." Once again, I'll give the example of the high-speed train, and I have pictures. I'll share them with you when I get back. It's something that we are not able to do. Makes you wonder, how come in China they're able to do that and we are not? Why? Which begs the question, why? Unless there is a desire to maintain the crumbling infrastructure in the US, in, on, uh, uh in favor of corrupted politicians pocketing money and sending money to corrupted governments, the likes of Ukraine. That's the only answer I get. And it's my tax dollars. I have the right. As a matter of fact, most Americans do not know that it is within the Constitution. Within the Constitution, we have the right to hold the government accounting— to hold the government accountable regarding the spending. I think it's in one article in the Fourth Amendment, if I'm not mistaken. I have it at home. I remember I always kept that close by. Uh, I want to show you the wall here, guys, with all the displays of everything you can think of. Look at that, incredible! And that's just on the wall. Those are the pandas. Wow, they have so many. Interesting. So once again, just to go back, and I usually get, uh, Not upset, but not emotional. I just get a little agitated, a little bit, with how the waste that I see it before my own eyes. And yet it's my tax dollars that I wanted the government to spend it on what's right, what's benefit the average citizens. But again, you have a massive population back home that is ill-informed. They care less about even educating themselves about the issues. This is one of the reasons, guys, why I come over here. I travel with your support is because I am not doing tourism here. When I do tourism, I'll pay for it out of my pocket because that's the right thing to do. I don't come here for tourism. I want you to know this. Anytime I come over here is because I want to share with you where the progress of this country has reached. There's one more other one I want to show you here in the wall. So, oh, by the way, I have a picture of a smart city. When I get back home, I'll share it with you guys. Very, very interesting dynamics on that. This is a trolley inside the, the Nanjing Street that mainly people can ride on it, and they go from all the way to Bund, all the way down to the other side of the streets. So once again, why am I highlighting this issue of the infrastructure? Because I've seen now, literally in a matter of one year, when I came back, where things are and how people are really emotionally are happy, socially are engaged, and economically are well-to-do. You know, they are not after being wealthy. They are not after this and that. No, they just being very, very comfortable economically speaking. Why? Because you have a government that is working for its own people. That is where the difference for between us and the Chinese. So, and of course, the— our government doesn't want the American to know about the progress, about Where the money, for example, when China has a surplus, where that surplus goes. Have you seen that China opened any military base anywhere in the world recently or ever? Besides Djibouti, that's the only one I'm familiar with, and even a small base. I want to even call it a base. It's a forward base, small one, just for fueling. Hello. So somebody The guy with the hat is just waving. The young generation here gets very curious about the cameras and so forth. So once again, this is again where I see the— and again, my— it's not about criticism for America. It's about highlighting the facts and I present them as I see them. So, and China didn't achieve this over one year. It took them 3 or 4 decades. To reach this particular development, and they deserve it because it was hard-earned. They worked for it. It wasn't just handed to them. Nobody came over and gave them money and said, "Hey, China, here's money for you. Do what you want, build whatever you want." No, they built the stuff on their own. Every citizen here, in my opinion, every citizen contributes to the development and progress of his or her country. Hello, somebody just waving to me here saying hi. I don't want to show your picture. Do you want me show you? No, he said no. Thank you. Hi. They get curious when they see somebody with them. And by the way, this is why they, they, they didn't feel comfortable yesterday at the Muse museum. And of course I wasn't gonna do anything inside because you can't do that out of respect. What I was gonna do, just from the outside, as they told me, because they told me you can record outside. And I think it was just miscommunication, no more, no less. I have a dear friend who lives here. He called me and explained to me. He said, no, no, no, no, that's just for having the, the, the, uh, DJI device and the mic and all that stuff, they don't feel comfortable with that because of where the setting is. But it was nothing personal. It just to me was the idea of for the world to know the true history of what took place in Nanjing. Someone will have at least to show some basic statues from outside. Of course, I'm not gonna feel comfortable showing certain pictures of people who passed away in very horrific circumstances. You know, it will tear your heart apart once you see those images. So that is where the difference is. And I've seen ladies crying, and rightly so, rightly so. So, but anyway, it's, uh, I'm glad you understood, guys, why I did what I did. So I'm coming to the end here of the street. I'm going to wrap this up and just see if they have any questions and sign off. So, anyway, back to the infrastructure aspect. And I think this is where our downfall is because the lack of an improved infrastructure is hindering our ability to sort of develop in other areas. And if you know anything about how an economy strives, it strives because of the infrastructure. It's because access to energy. This is how it works. And that is exactly where China is and why, you know, I put the word "The Future is China" because I've seen it coming. I used to have talks with some people back in literally late '90s, late '90s, and I mentioned about it. They're like, "What?" I say, "You don't see what's coming, do you?" So, but anyway, so this is what I just wanted to wrap this up for you and, uh, to let you know this is my last day here. I might do a lot— I might do not live stream, I might do a— this is another Huawei store right here. And by the way, their phones are incredible and not expensive at all. So unfortunately it's not gonna work in the US, so that is where the problem So I might do a live stream for you tomorrow from one particular location. I'm not gonna disclose it, and we just go from there. And I will see you, uh, live from the United States in a few days. So that's why I wanted to do this wrap-up here right now, so I don't have to deal with it when I get back. And I have 3 other topics lined up for you that I need to address, that you need to know what's, what's going on with that. So, all right, let me see if there is any question from you here, guys, and I'm gonna sign off right here. Let me— oh, where's the comment? Thanks for the tour, safe travels. You are most welcome, you are most welcome. Uh, public long-distance transport for the homeless. Well, I, I don't know what you mean by that comment. So, uh, have a safe trip back home. Thank you. Uh, you are most welcome. So whoever shared that with me, and, uh, okay, I don't see any questions. Let me turn the screen again and I will see, uh, and I will say bye to you. One, one last look here. This is the end of the, uh, Nanjing Street East, because the other side is the West. So, so all the displays they have right here on the wall, I'm going to show you all this stuff right there. Very, very incredible what, what literally what they have achieved and where society is. And I can only imagine what the next 10 years, next decade is going to be for this country, you know, or even 5 years, you know. And I am keeping an eye open as to the domain of AI, as to what China is intended of achieving with that. So big, big stuff coming up into, into over the horizon for this country. So they deserve it. I'll say now you see why I'm thinking in terms of teaching here. Speaking of teaching, I've been with sort of— remember, there is one concept here in China called kimchi. Kimchi, my dear friend Ray explained it to me. That means it's going to have to take time. They are very, very slow moving, but that doesn't mean— it's just part of how the culture is. They get to know you better, they get to trust you, because the element, the element of trust is very, very crucial here. So, and, uh, so I've started some conversations. Uh, who knows if I come back here, most likely next year, don't know when, but I will keep you informed and posted about all this. And what do I intend to do next year with the trip? I might not come back here to this location because there are other things you need to see and know about, and I intend to go to those locations. So, uh, okay, I'll see if there's any question. If not, I'm gonna sign off here. Let me turn the screen and, uh, just say bye to you till I come back to the States. All right, guys. Well, I'm glad you were able to— Hi, you want to be in the camera? No, they just get curious to see what I'm looking at here. So I am talking to my community. My community. Yeah, he doesn't speak English, so he won't understand, but that's okay. As I said, uh, I will do probably a short, short video tomorrow from one location where I'm gonna be crossing or transiting through. I'm not staying, but I should be back home in the next few days. So, all right, as always, remember, geopolitics impacts your daily life in more ways than one. Till next time, bye!
