The Australian left China and said on social media: "If you hate China, go and see it yourself."
Robert Bawick is a dual platform blogger on Twitter and YouTube. Recently, he spent 20 days traveling through nine cities in China. When he took Hainan Airlines from Haikou to Melbourne, he posted a video on social media: "For many years, we have been arguing about China's issues on social media. Now, what I want to say most is: Go see China yourself."
As a heavy user of YouTube and Twitter, I spend more time on these platforms than on WeChat Moments or domestic social media. Therefore, I have seen that the majority of people who travel to China express that they have broken their previous perceptions. The comments are basically: I have never seen a country so civilized, clean, orderly, and safe. Chinese life is in the future, while Europe and the US live in the past.
A comment in the comments section was also very interesting: "If you are friendly with Europe and the US, then go and see Europe and the US yourself." Why? Because there are still many people on domestic platforms who believe that if they go to Europe and the US, they can live well. This is two ends: Europeans and Americans coming to China think China is very good, while some people living in China think Europe and the US are very good.
Where is the information gap here?
